People like the OP is the reason why Donald Trump is getting so hard on Nigerians. The fact still remain that both the Yoruba and Igbo man appointed in US are from a country that import everything including toothpick. Just recently Nigeria Army received dozens of wasted armoured tanks from the US army, I was so ashamed of my country. Do they think Nigeria is a dump site for scraps?.
Where are the so called engineers? You graduate from school and have nothing to show for it. I laugh when I see some engineering student boost about their course.
Shame to all engineers reading this post, you all have nothing to offer to Nigeria.

**NB** All Nigeria engineers should stop visiting NAIRALAND. They can't think of anything positive after studying MACHINES, FLUID MECHANICS etc.

I dey ves..

Mallam Seif al Din

embarassed If the previous engineers who have studied outdated syllabus have let u down, we the coming ones won't. Many of us have ideas but the environment is supportive. I'll yield by staying away from nairaland from Monday. Ur post is an eye opener, I'll forward it to others.

Not 100% truth but I get ur point. My question is if Igbo man is always catching up with yoruba man, then Where r Over 200 other tribes in Nigeria? Taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions in a class is always a good thing.
StOla:
The Igbo man has always loved to compare himself to a Yoruba standard, while Yorubas just keep on setting standards for the rest of Africa.

Talk about catching up?

Yorubas became lawyers, Igbos are now lawyers too.

Yorubas became doctors, Igbos are now doctors too

Yorubas became engineers, Igbos are now engineers too.

Yorubas became bankers, Igbos are now bankers too.

Yorubas became judges in UK and USA, An Igbo man has finally become a Judge too in the USA.

Soyinka became 1st African Nobel Laureate, Igbos say it is irrelevant, once an Igbo gets awarded it would become mighty relevant.

This is what Achebe termed as the East catching up with the West.

The West remains a reference to development globally.

East Germany trying to measure up to West Germany before the unification.
Western Europe trying to pull Eastern Europe out of the 3rd world.

Did a Yoruba man not recently become a key Obama staff? Deputy National Security Adviser?

One day, God willing, the Igbos will catch up in this regard too.

OP, should I playback the piece that FFK once wrote about the Igbos before you gave him your sister so he could hush up?
