Go google now type Ikwere, if you see yoruba there, i go give you 100k.

Google will tell you that they are an Igbo group.


I dont know why yoruba should leave their brothers in Togo to be hating on Igbo people.

I don't know about sourcing the money or how he did it, but I know he has already built the school in his home town, it's a project he started since 2021, I can't also vividly tell you the project worth the $500m or not, but I know the school is 98% completed as of today..

U know how many schools go better passs that school as we dey like this?

Even atiku university? When u don't hear am ranked among the best despite the fees?


Fear black man o.


Let him go and build factories, industries, hospitals and give out low interest loans.


We don't need schools.


Didn't the government just approve the take off of some universities a while ago?



Black man and misplaced priorities

I assure you, if it was Igbo that have brothers in Togo and Benin republic, we would have been making efforts to join them.


Mind you not all our people speak Igbo language.


All the groups in SS are Igbo relatives and part of our extended family, all the way down to the middle belt with Igala, idoma and down to Cameroon.


As know, our brothers in Cameroon join Kanu to demand separation from Cameroon and we are working together to reunify.



Igbo will never leave their kith and kin behind, we are just too strong as a group to allow it.

Schools especially universities have not really added to anything in Nigeria. There are millions of university graduates doing menial jobs- Keke drivers, bus conductors etc.

Technical Colleges and factories are what Nigerians needs now. Learn a practical skill that is admissible!
This is better, building of manufacturing industry will be better

I am a graduate of the department of Mathematics. I did my NYSC almost 16 years ago. Most Nigerians are not realistic enough to understand that schooling in Nigeria has lost it relevance like NYSC.

Students that would graduate and start looking for paid jobs or the ones that will put what they studied in practice, creating jobs in the process, just as it's in developed countries?? What Nigeria needs is not more universities, it's aggressive industrialisation. In fact, let's even begin with the easiest—agricultural industrialization, which can turn Nigeria into a developed country within 25 years!

The country needs more jobs than universities

Especially when the university fee will not be subsidized to it minimum level as possible then it's not needed

Build factories instead

Mumu. So it is not human beings like you that would work in the university as lecturers, admin staff, cleaners, security men, maintenance, etc? It is not Nigerians that would be used to build the university?
There are already enough tertiary institutions of learning churning out graduates with low prospects for employment on account of lack of industrialisation in Nigeria.

What he should focus on is either strengthening existing universities with this fund, or better still, establishing industries where graduates can apply acquired knowledge and skills, and earn a decent living, rather than stay idle.

Kapisch!

That's good to know. Being a Rivers State indigene, I assume Herbert Wigwe would want to set the world-class Uni over there in Rivers State. On the other hand, it could be in Lagos State since he is also professionally a Lagos big dude... A part of the original Guaranty Trust Bank employees who moved on to set up Access Bank.

I read years back how Herbert's father who was then a Nigerian military officer in Abeokuta survived being killed in the aftermath of the counter coup of 1966, and how he was tipped off by a colleague who asked him what he was still doing in the West when some of his military colleagues had relocated. He miraculously made it back with his nuclear family to their ancestral home town near the Port Harcourt area. It was a very fascinating story of survival and the triumph of the human spirit... I never forgot that interview.

Ikwere are 100% Igbo in every sense of the world.

They even gave us a shortened version of many Igbo words.


Like, Wigwe from Nwaigwe.


The meaning is still the samething and not lost.

U can say Wigwe and if you want a mouth full say Nwa-Igwe.
