Its a heavy argument in my crib right now,somebody came up with a topic that uneducated people are richer than educated people in nigeria, what he meant by educated people are graduates and uneducated people as non graduates, I was against that but when he started giving his facts about alaba int'l bizness men and onitsha main market importers I found my self in a state of dillemma,so I said I must table it here for y'all opinion, so the question is ,statistically , if you are to divide everybody in nigeria based on educated and non educated,where will you find the highest number of wealthy people.. Remember no be me talk am,so don't insult me

You can do a research on it by taking a sample from the area u reside and use questionnaires to collect the data. You will get a more reliable result than seeking people's opinion on nairaland. It's a good research topic.

From my own research, it seems to be true , but I can't jump to conclusion because I live in a region of business men, you hardly see educated people here.

o boy na true o. I av so many of den here in my place of reside and knw some international. Ppl lky roman abrahmovic, ladimeji gbaja d owner of al -ikhman universty ilorin, dantae rip, aliko dangote,

@Jamonirich: i thought some nigerians said Dangote is a graduate?

Dangote is a graduate

fubbyy: Dangote is a graduate

Good. Then he should be off that man's list. If u really want to get a reliable result, carry out a sample survey using questionnaires or any method, collate the data, analyze the data and do a test of hypothesis to determine if the claim is actually valid or false.

It also depends on what level of education u are interested in whether secondary, OND, NCE, HND, Degree or Postgraduate. Because we cannot rule out the fact that somebody with secondary education is educated. So it depends on what u define as being educated.

If u can find a formular for wealth I think that ll give u the best result 2 ur qustion.

@ ishmael , I said it before, we are talking about graduates as educated people and non graduate as non educated

fubbyy: @ ishmael , I said it before, we are talking about graduates as educated people and non graduate as non educated

your response is still vague. Are you talking about university/polytechnic graduates or university graduates alone? All the same u can still carry out a sample survey to gather the data u need, analyze ur data, and conduct a statistical test of hypothesis to get the best result. Like i said before, it's a very good research topic, but it requires good funds to carry it out.
