SHAMELESS!

Does government also approve the common entrance and WAEC results where EBOES are specialists?

No, those exams ( WAEC, JAMB and Unity schools) are not politicized hence the Igbos dominance.

Your exam list is politicized, as it had to be vetted by the FG.

Now cry me a river.

FanYogo1:
See how Yorubas dominate the list?

18 Ibos
33 Yorubas

Proud omo Oduduwa.

This one can't be manipulated with miracle centers

The brilliant and unbeatable Yoruba nation deserves its own country. Nigeria is holding us back.

No nation is like ours. No nation can have an equal number of Muslim and Christians and still be tolerant and peaceful.

May Oduduwa continue to smile down on his children. Oduduwa a gbe wa o.

I'm proud to be Yoruba!

Who gave Yoruba the Grace? Be careful!

Its such a shame that this thread has been derailed. I was expecting Seun to barn some people, but it seems like him and his moderators are biased/tribalist.
The high level of ethnocentrism i see here is bad. I am proud of the selected representatives, every tribe is blessed i must say.
looking down on the igbos is a shameful act because this same tribe after the civil war were given little to start life with, yet they are trying their best to succeed. And people that have had favour from the FG from time immemorial are mocking them and raising unnecessary comparison? hmmm
Now, you want oduduwa country because you feel you are more sophisticated and igbos are primitive, why not fight for it. you shout ONE Nigeria, when IPODs protest and are indirectly helping you to achieve odua country and u are happy when they are killed. yes they are chestbeaters, but can you survive being treated and called a second class citizen?
hmmmmm.
what do we want? we call ourselves Nigerians, but hate ourselves.

He wasn't lying, he just believed your FG sent the best as would have been done in sane climes, how could he have known that the selection process was probably influenced by ethnic and political factors?

Yes JAMB and WAEC are not vetted by anyone, I mean to what's end? There is nothing to gain by doing so.

Did FG SEND people for the test
I thought it was advertised and people applied online? My Bad

Ariani:
The only thing this politicized list proves is that Yorubas are really influential in this Buhari government, and that their support for Buhari is marginally paying off.

Nothing more and nothing less.

JAMB, WAEC and unity school, stats are non politicized stats and give a better picture of the real state of things.

Yes, miracle centres that allowed states like Edo and even some northern states outperform Yoruba states. don't worry, you are still in the first stage of depression.

Oga shut Up!! Tell me one thing, just one that makes you proud about being a Dudu persin? Running ur filthy dudu mouths like tap water.

Ariani:
What's the criteria for this list selection? Ikechukwu offered some insight to that question here: https://www.nairaland.com/3092324/list-names-100-nigerians-us/4
Why exactly he was banned and that thread closed raises lots of question on the integrity and bias of Yoruba mods here.

Mr. Man Ikechukwu/Ikeg/Ariani (ALL same person) derailed that thread with his IPOB nonsense. A thread I opened without even paying attention to the tribal makeup of the awardees. The silly IPOB came in and started yarning rubbish.

osicom:


Hmm.Yours is to scan through the names and work out the mathematics of how the Yoruba names exceeded the Ibo's.Bravo! I wonder when this tribalism is going to stop.I am neither Ibo nor Yoruba but I am concerned about the war being waged between these two tribes here Nairaland and elsewhere.

Yorubas and Igbos have been like that with each other from the very beginning and I doubt it will ever stop. I have told them to bury the hatchet but I don't see it happening any time soon. Honestly, the emergence of Cownu and IPOB made things worse between the two tribes.

FanYogo haba take it easy now you don't have to rub IPOB's face in it. But truth be told the Yorubas are whopping everybody's a$$ in this country. It is left for the rest of us (other tribes especially Northerners) to wake up and compete better. And that is what will make this country better in the long run. All these online insults is counterproductive. And Igbos should not be ashamed of been No.2 afterall the Hausas are the most populated should be no.1.

Yes we love the Ibos they are our [size=3pt]small [/size]brothers

I am amazed at times but Igbos have turned Yorubas to what Yorubas detested culturally..chest beating..TISU ENI BA TA,A FOWO BO JE NI...Yoruba elders in the house can correct me if I make any mistake in that proverb.
But I do think like somebody said that it is a game of wits.Truth be said there is none..I respect all the other tribes..that had gotten the achievements of the Yorubas..in the olden days and now...
All Nigerians are doing great home and abroad.I read somewhere that the best and brainiest family in USA or is it UK, was a beautiful Edo family.
In education,happenings have shown that the Yorubas are tops while the Igbos are behind them.This list confirms the superiority of the Yorubas in anything related to intelligence and brain (or cunning..which is extra smartness ).Both tribes are very good but I have seen that Yoruba just always has an edge.
Kudos to the guys from the various tribes in Nigeria.GO,GO,THE SKY IS YOUR LIMIT.

Ariani:


Are you for real? You need help if you actually soberly typed the above.

Did this event have anything to do with the Nigerian FG

aristosoft:
The US knows what they are doing. These are the people eventually used as spies on us. How come they picked only those who studied abroad or is it government that selected these ones for them?

#justThinkingAloud

Bros, you don't understand. None of them schooled abroad. The name of the university written in front of their names is where they have been placed for training. The MWF is a very competitive program aimed at developping the next generation of African Leaders. Congrats to the selected!

spiritsam:
Who is fooling who... not one of them graduated From a nigeria university. They ar All politician pikin.. abi whats the criteria 4 picking them The most corrupt nation in d world, inviting d most corrupt nation in Africa to falsely honors d great Mandela... abeg make dem no let d man vex inside grave

Bros, they are not politicians' pikin and they do not study abroad. I know because I am a YALI alumnus too and I went to Unilorin. The university in front of their names is where they will be trained in the US. Be informed! The criteria for picking them is that they should be between the age of 25 to 35 years and must have a proven record of service to their communities. Grace Ihejiamaizu, for example who is on that list owns www.opportunitydesk.org, a site that has helped millions of people all over the world to get job, conference and competition opportunities.

You are ill-informed. I advise you read what YALI stands for on Google!

IshaqAyinde:
But wait ooo, I can't even see one Nigerian graduate here, all na overs. I beg I knw blieve in dis there tin again jawe.

Bros, they are all Nigerian graduates. Those universities are where they will get trained.
