Ogun for sure

The difference in the passing rates by state is most likely due to the culture and degree of investment in education, not because a tribe is 'better'.

If you feel otherwise, then you probably also have to accept that your tribe/race is not as good as people from other countries, such as Britain, Russia where the education standard is higher. #JustSaying.

For education ? All SW states better other regions...

For spare parts bizness ? All SE states better all other region ( infact no competition in it )

For poverty level ? Twale for the north ...they lead

Living in Nigeria, I think it was either Ondo or Ogun state that was regarded as the state with the most educated populace, thanks to Awo's vision in establishing free education in the western part of Nigeria.

Jmaine sorry that I did not respond to your comment. I knew this thread was going to be hijacked.


@ Adejoro aka Nchara and Bashr4 etc

State is different from ethnicity lets get our facts right here. For all I care OAU might have all Igbo student but the quality again is way higher than many Nigerian universities.

You two are quick to talk about Yoruba down fall, free education this, Igbos have beaten the yoruba etc and all other childish remarks. I am not looking at it from that point of view. I am look at it in terms of standard of education, employment rate of each university and the great professionals those universities have churn out on a yearly bases.

Tell me how many big successive men Nsukka have produced compare to the ones I listed.

The truth is that Nigeria universities are not up to standard but reality remains those universities I alj harem picked are still the best in Nigeria.

Yes if they are, it would directly correlate to the state in which those universities are to be the most educated.

Most educated is not in terms of number of graduates alone but also in terms of quality education which those state/schools have.

If we now move down to Secondary schools, you would find out that those states have the best public and private secondary schools in Nigeria. Especially Lagos quote me anyday.

If it is poly's as well, Ogun has the best poly in Nigeria which is the Agricultural poly in Abeokuta of which other countries send their people to.

It saddens me that majority of Nigerians are still groping in the darkness of lies and falsehood the cabals of the civil war institutionalized. This is why these cabals are still enjoying the spoils of the war till date. By the time they go, their children take over because the ordinary Nigerian people are still counting how many aeroplanes that fly across the sky. You know what? . These cabals systematically removed history from our educational curriculum in the 70s, killed research institutions, brainwashed the majority with filth and lies, and finally sowed the seed of discord amongst Nigerians. Just look at the way we are casting one another down over issues that requires only history, research and statistics to buttress them. Why can't somebody drop by to dig into archives and statistics to get all his/her facts before he/she comes out here to argue blindly? Its funny when people ride on the falsehood of silly fabrications, just like the ones Femi Kayode dished out recently. I know that a lot of people, especially his kingsmen Could bet their lives on his unfounded calculations and assumptions. I am from the Igbo extraction, I know for sure, that the igbos are well educated just like the yorubas, then other tribes follows. Before the civil war, the igbos were virtually at the helm of affairs in all sectors. Why was that? Because, they embraced western education way back then. However, they suffered a major set back after the war but have re-emerged to take their place in the league of nations. The issue of who is the most educated to me is just so so funny. What I do is very simple, I laugh off such frivolities whenever they pop up because I know where it is coming from. I stand to be corrected. Thanks.
