Igbotic! Go Figure!

Although the Chinese and Indians are still very conspicuously above even the best African nationalities, their superiority disappears when the Nigerian and other groups are broken down even further according to their different tribal ethnicities.

Groups like the famous Igbo tribe, which has contributed much genetically to the African American blacks, are well known to be high academic achievers within Nigeria. In fact, their performance seems to be at least as high as the “model minority” Chinese and Indians in the UK, as seen when some recent African immigrants are divided into languages spoken at home (which also indicates that these are not multigenerational descendants but children of recent immigrants).

Africans speaking Luganda and Krio did better than the Chinese students in 2011. The igbo were even more impressive given their much bigger numbers (and their consistently high performance over the years, gaining a 100 percent pass rate in 2009!). The superior Igbo achievement on GCSEs is not new and has been noted in studies that came before the recent media discovery of African performance.

A 2007 report on “case study” model schools in Lambeth also included a rare disclosure of specified Igbo performance (recorded as Ibo in the table below) and it confirms that Igbos have been performing exceptionally well for a long time (5 + A*-C GCSEs); in fact, it is difficult to find a time when they ever performed below British whites.

It should be noted that in fact, the Chinese and Indian groups in the UK have the smallest number of pupils qualified for free school meals, a proxy for level of poverty.

In the world of intellectually gifted schools, perhaps the most selective in the United States is a special program called the Davidson Academy started by Jan and Bob Davison in 2006 in Reno, Nevada.

The tiny school boasts of selecting only the most profoundly gifted children (the highest of the five levels of giftedness) whose IQ is so high that “only one in every ten thousand children in America” can qualify to the school in any one cohort; it is more selective than Stanford or Harvard can ever be.

The school makes no efforts or pretensions to affirmative action and as such, they have had very little “diversity.” However, a search through the promotional materials of the school for a black student – all schools and colleges will always show some black faces in their promotional materials if they have any – reveals that they have had at least one black student, and it was, unsurprisingly, a Nigerian Igbo name (the parent is interviewed in the ad posted on Youtube - Davidson Academy - Overview Video

I guess Igbos in NIGERIA can only become anything significant if they have their own country and compete among themselves to the best of their individual abilities. For now there is no single competition coming from half of the country (the North), little from the South South, and a bit more from the SW. The igbos are primed to compete at the highest level, to bring out the best in them; Nigeria is not giving them the space and motivation to do so. I wonder what the remains of Nigeria would look like should Igbos leave, and do so peacefully, with all their ''Ghana must go bags'' intact and repatriated to their ancestral lands. Hahahah!

Lol smh

The igbos re not around dear, so this thread will end in page 1. don't know the tribe to replace them. I miss their wahala. Some re facing bans. Nairaland is bit bored though.

Where did all the Igbos of Nairaland go to? Have they all relocated to B.....iafraland?

Hahaha! Anyways, what about non-Biafra Igbos? Are they also on break?

You see how boring Nigeria will become when Igbos leave for B..iafra? This is only on cyberspace and it's already boring.

disprove me that the post isn't a delusion of grandeur. post pictures of your villages side by side with Berlin or Dubai since you guys are the best in the world.

I am not being tribal, I am just stating an obvious fact. if you guys were the best, then your cities should be like paradise, right?

astrodome:

that's my point. others are not bragging, so we can forgive their slums. but since Igbos are extra special creatures we should expect their enclave to be slum free, right? or at least better than what we see around...

Of course not. It is only in the SE where the streets aren't paved in gold. The rest of our dear country is a modern marvel. Don't waste your time.

I will 'hop' anywhere I like and state my view on any topic I like and there's nothing you can do about it. I've been consistent in my position that all you disgruntled elements littering this space with your 'notice me' threads are welcome to deactivate/port to any one of your Bia-centric forums if you are not happy with the new atmosphere of peace that exists here. Only in your deluded mind would someone like myself be wishing for things to go back to the way they were b4 Rule 9. Tufiakwa!
