IGBOSON1:
From what i saw from the part in bold.....Igbo, Yoruba and Ashanti were mentioned! Unless i missed the part that specifically mentioned Igbo only!

SonOfEl:


you and your shymmex should keep consoling yourselves......

EVILFOREST:

Hahahaha

IGBO mmanma'anu.. ..... yeaaaaa

Kwenu. .. .. ... .... ... . Yeaaaaa

Chikaaaanu... .... ..... . Yeaaaa

Mekaaaaaanu...... .... . Yeaaaaa

Kwezunuuueee

OnReflection:


What would it take for you to put your best foot forward rather than distorting the conclusions reached in a report?
Do you have an aversion to speaking the truth, SonOfEl?

SonOfEl:


your bitterness is incurable. what's the big deal about celebrating an article that silences the scientific racism of whites? is it because IGBOS are the main case study being used to counter the white racists about blacks?

your bitterness won't change a thing...am sorry for your blood pressure.

OnReflection:

^^^LoL.
Shymm3x, you've got to allow it bruv.
As soon as I saw those tables, I knew precisely where they came from - by virtue of some work I undertook in SouthWOK some 20-odd years ago.

What is interesting here is that, with no real understanding of how the system works, it comes as no surprise that the untutored mind distorts the conclusions reached in a report which was intended to serve a specific purpose.

Frankly, I don't think this chest-thumping business is doing anyone any good. It saddened me to see the way Haiti was inadvertenly dragged in the mud earlier on, for instance.
Then again, I suppose since one has to break an egg to make an omelette, all fallacies must be debunked by all means necessary.

SonOfEl:


chai......you so reek and stink of envy and jealousy..... pls don't burn yourself up just yet, because we igbos are getting started.....

Naijacitizen:



Thank you my man. Where did you see am? I was looking for it since last week but to no avail. Send me your address I will send you head to your doorstep for pepper soup.

Shymm3x:


Nah, I'm jealous of Luganda speakers from Uganda - they're the chart toppers, not Igbos.

OnReflection:


That's the MO, is it? Attack 'white supremacy' using ethnocentrism, lies, distortion, and an arsenal of banal arguments, as a veritable bulwark.
Is that how it goes?

Well, if that's the approach that suits you, take it somewhere else.

Shymm3x:
This is from the UK government:

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130401151715/http://www.education.gov.uk/publications/eOrderingDownload/RTP01-03MIG1734.pdf

The UK government doesn't even do classifications based on ethnic groups within a country. I honestly don't know where these plonkers got the Lambeth link from. And even if Igbos outperformed Yorubas in Lambeth in 2009 and 2010, but both were almost on the same level in 2011 - how does that make Igbo the most brilliant African race?

How about the Luganda folks who outperformed everyone in 2011? Shouldn't Luganda speakers be the most brilliant of them all? I guess Ugandans are smarter than Nigerians then, based on the stats, no?

Shymm3x:


Lol. These folks are even terrible at chest-beating...they labelled themselves as the most brilliant African race based on a flawed stat, despite Luganda speakers from Uganda topping the stat they provided.

What the stat did was to show the improvements made since 2009 in the inner city schools (public schools), and that's evident in how the Yoruba kids went from 39% pass to 75% within two years, since most of the Yorubas in Lambeth live in the most disadvantaged areas (Brixton, Stockwell, and Kennington) - while the few Igbos in the borough live in better areas like Streatham, and Clapham - and they mostly attend Catholic schools. It's also evident in the performance of Ghanaian kids since there's a huge Ghanaian population in Streatham. It's just common sense and nothing to brag about.

I guess it's safe to say that Ugandans are more intelligent than Nigerians - bwahahaha. I'd wager that they'll disagree with that, but that's what's on the stat they're touting for vacuous academic supremacy.

Anyway, I want to see the stat for Tottenham, since there's a huge population of Igbos there.

OfoIgbo:


I'm an Igbo man and did my A levels and university stuff in the UK. So don't try to concoct stories here. The Yorubas in my class were always below my fellow Igbos intelligence-wise.

Now getting back to the Lugandan issue, the Igbos performed better on average than the Lugandans. Igbos at some point, even scored a perfect 100%, which is a landmark the Lugandans have never achieved.

With regards to the Yoruba scores, it only shows that the best score of the Yorubas is not even as high as the worst score of the Igbos. That is yet another story that needs further investigation. How come the best that the Yoruba can muster still falls short of the worst the Igbos can get?

SonOfEl:


truly your bitterness and hatred for IGBOS is incurable. your case is deliverance case.

OnReflection:


Hatred and bitterness for Igbos? Au contraire, nothing could be further from the truth.
What I do loathe, however, is any inherent bias which makes the truth malleable.

When an Igbo Professor who claims to have discovered the cure for aids, thereby exposing UNIBEN to ridicule, gets called out - it has to be 'hatred and bitterness'. When Emeagwali's exaggerated falsehood gets torn to shreds, it also has to be 'hatred and bitterness'.
If it hurts so much to have certain unproven claims and unearned accolades dismissed by objective commentators, then keep them to yourself.

I am not here to massage egos and cajole those who so easily default to a state of unreason. I call things as I see them.

SonOfEl:


as you see them in your narrow and bigoted mentality. are these two cases the only reason for your bitterness and hate? you keep exposing and disgracing yourself at every turn.

OnReflection:


An appeal to emotional blackmail? Who cares what you think? Your delusions aren't going to change anything, are they?

OnReflection:


I won't even begrudge the Igbo, the Lugandans, the Krios, or any other group for their well earned achievements.
The problem here is not the limited report itself, which is perfectly clear on the results it advances, but with reprobates whose stock-in-trade is ethnic jingoism.

Shymm3x:


@ excerpt in bold - that's the crux of the matter, and it's problematic. The jingoism defeated the purpose of the stat and the radical improvements being made in inner city schools. And rather than focus on what the government is doing to bridge the gap between disadvantaged ethnic minorities, in messed up catchment areas - where the schools used to be utterly terrible - and folks from better areas with access to better schools, these folks are using it as a premise for ethnic supremacy and that's troubling.

I'm not even defending Yorubas here - I did the same on a next thread in the family section a few weeks ago when folks were posting ridiculous stats to show that black African kids in the UK are superior to Caribbean kids, without considering a lot of factors. At the end of the day, black folks are still at the bottom of the totem pole of everything and a lot of factors play into that.

OnReflection:


Exactimo Shymm3x.
From playing up some synergy with the people of Israel, to ideas about keeping the bloodline pure, this thread has featured some of the most invidious arguments I have read in a long time.

Now if such bigoted rants were merely confined to a small section of NL, perhaps one could overlook them altogether.
Problem is; they are not! Give enough time, and then become the stuff of legends - to be recycled ad infinitum, in furtherance of a macabre agenda.

Dbboy:


man with all the long epistle you have written on almost all page just goes to prove how envious you are of the IGBO people success, why didn't you spend much time disapproving that (result)of the Chinese, indians or the other African people who a lot better than your tribe the luganda but you find it so convenient challenging our own report because it put the igbos ahead of you lads. This is not about chest pumping or beating or what ever you call it, but its clear to all unbiased mind that the igbos are far superior being in Nigeria to any other tribe, that's why there so much envy in any part of Nigeria the igbos settle. please don't hang your self on a report that took thousands of man hour resarch to come to an unfortunate conclusion that proves what we already know in Nigeria to be true that Igbo are the best in everything the lay there hand on.

Shymm3x:
[s]I stopped reading when I saw African Ibo vs Yoruba Lambeth.

Why compare the overall performance of Ibos to only the Yorubas in Lambeth, especially since Lambeth is a disadvantaged borough?

Compare the performance of Yorubas in Bexley Borough with Igbos in Haringey, since it seems Yorubas dominate Bexley and it isn't a disadvantaged area and I believe a lot of Igbos live in Haringey, especially Tottenham.

These Igbos and their useless propaganda and the need to always create fictitious websites to spread lies. There's no record in the UK where Nigerians are divided into ethnic groups, to show GCSE performance. Everything on the UK's government database is done based on groups (black African, Caribbean etc.) and nationality. And no group has ever surpassed the Chinese and Indians - not even ethnic Brits.

Igbos are lying bastards!

Utter crap![/s]

Shymm3x:


Nah, it has nothing to do with liking Igbo chics - I was just alluding to the section of Igbos that I know from school who were a tad bit book smart. I don't care about Igbo chics (though they love ya boy).

This has nothing to do with Bini being related to Yorubas - it's just what everyone from school knows. Igbo guys always stink up the place when it comes to books...all they ever talk about is money. We still clowned one the other day for running his mouth about some shitty Audi A4. My boy just said: these Igbo nyggahs and their extremely big heads, all they do is run their mouths about things they don't have.

Shymm3x:


[s]Sir, I'm sorry I had to stray a bit to get in my MythBuster mode - just to expose the lies. A lie travels far and wide before the truth, and it's always better to castrate it, before it develops wings. I'm not really a fan of ethnic jingoism - I learnt that habit on this forum, due to how annoying these folks can get sometimes. Just a service to humanity.

That said - I believe these folks suffer from a bad combo of lack of exposure and post traumatic stress disorder, hence the need to always blow a non-existent trumpet and an urge to always align with the most racist country on the planet, in Israel. I've never seen a group, especially among black folks, who lack self-pride like these folks. I guess it has to do with being empty - and like they say: an empty barrel makes the loudest noise.

I just don't understand these folks...trying to decipher their mentality is like trying to find the lost Kingdom of Atlantis. An exercise in futility[/s].
