I was kind of thinking the average for Nigeria is really below average in Igboland so here are some statistics I've found online, these are some summarised graphics which are expounded on in the linked reports:

See @ http://igbobuofu.com/threads/is-nigeria-holding-back-the-south-east-health-stats.141/

These are a few stats from: http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/pages/download/254

Of course this isn't all of Igboland combined as a large chunk of the Igbo indigenous lands and people are in Delta State and Rivers State, but what do you think, coupled with the high education attainment of the "south east" (a chunk of Igboland), is Nigeria holding Igboland back?

It is obvious from the stats

Biafra my home land.

and some scratched face from the waste region will be bragging about being educated and sophisticated.................... we dont BEAT OUR CHEST FOR NOTHING............ we are the BEST of the very BEST and even the world concur............... IGBO AMAKA BIAFRA IS THE ONLY HOPE AFRICA GOT

The only time an Igbo man made it to the executive was Alex ekwueme and he could bring little development to the region.

Since den till now, nothing at all but yet we re pushing harder.

We re being held back. Imagine we rule our self solely and not the nut collecting our hustle, we for don do better things

There's also the fact that informal economy is not taxed. Anambra State alone could feed the whole of Nigeria off of trade I believe.

True and they also contribute to people back home. Imagine if those guys in America who are very well established were to come back.

Ebonyi Rice about to level things that side.
