If the UNICEF data is juxtaposed with the JAMB one, one thing directly comes to mind: a good % of the students who attend secondary education in Lagos are from the South East. Unless someone can convince me that while other tribes stop mostly after 2ndry education, the Igbo go the whole hog (university/polytechnic) more than others. The question then will be how Lagos will post such high figures for 2ndry education and at the same time perform dismally in JAMB enrollment. The answer is simple. Whereas the UNICEF data comprise of all ethnic groups in Lagos, the JAMB one reflects admittant's real state of origin.

You people should tackle or accept your xenophobia first before we know which ethnic group is the most educated, particularly directed to an obdurate xenophobe lady on nairaland that lets veins pop out from her neck just to express this fact.
Nigerians kai!!!!

I fail to see your point.Unless u can show that a particular ethnic group has cornered the scholarships for Ivy League institutions. I won't doubt that there are tons of smart yorubas in your school but then there are tons of smart Itsekiris,Ijaws,Igbos,ibibio e.t.c All this is just stumbling in the dark.None of this tells us anything about anything. There are tons of smart Scottish people in the UK.What does that tell us.?Nothing! |

@Terracotta
Your analysis is incredibly flawed because u don't adjust for population differences
For instance,Kaduna has higher numbers than Ekiti.Does that tell us that people from Kaduna are more educated than people from Ekiti.It simply means that there are far more people in Kaduna than Ekiti
What u need is data that tells u what percentage of people from a state are enrolled in school.
If state A has 2 million people and 1 million have gone through schooling,State B has 1.5 million and 900,000.The later is more educated even though it has fewer people who have gone through school
U have to make adjustments for population differences.Otherwise we can conclude that Nigerians are better educated than Jewish people because there are more Nigerians in school than Jewish
Go back and get us some proper data
You took the words right out of my mouth. The Igbo states are definitely not as populated as Lagos. If you look at pages 20 and 21,you'll see that Lagos recorded about 1.5 million for elementary school enrollment for males but only about 340,000 for sec school the same year for males whereas Imo had 200,000 plus males registered for Primary and about 100,000+ for secondary school same year that means that roughly only about 22 percent of Lagos inhabitants who went to primary school continued up to secondary where as 50 percent of Imo state males proceeded to Secondary school at the same time. This is no way scientific since the same individuals are not being followed but gives a clear idea that Imo state and delta leading with JAMB enrollment is actually somewhat miraculous since they do not have the population of Katsina,lagos and Kano. Could it be then as someone pointed out that since JAMB records state of origin,Igbos are very much in large numbers in these other states contributing to the figures we see? |

It is a fact that Yorubas were the first to be educated and the most educated at some point in Nigeria but that is not the case today.
Might I also add that the Northerners have since enjoyed free education and various scholarship schemes and should have been far ahead of other groups but that's not the case.

chimanze, why would a person say you insulted them if you didnt? Who are you to say if a person should be insulted by something or not? 3 insults now chimanze, am counting chimaze now you have started to insult me.
you make my day. you have not disappointed me.
Talk of true colours.
And you dare to take the name of the lord in your mouth. This woman you dey talk like 16yrs old.
Some people get mouth pass there brain. between, it's "their" not there She is a true woman and a mother unlike Mamaput Is that enough for you? I suggest you don't question me again. I always have proof to back up what I say esp when it comes to you people that spew trash then try to deny it days later. Fine you want to defend your fellow hypocrite in The Lord, but this time, I suggest you mind your own business. |
