If the result had indicated Yoruba is the greatest, there would not have been any argument from these Oduduwa irredentists. So much for Yoruba hypocrisy. Your reign is over, bros. It is Igbo all the way!! Infact check those who have been able to contribute positively to Obasanjo's government. They are mostly Igbo )Soludo, Okonjo Iweala, Akunyili etc,) and check those incompetent ones; eg Aviation minister Borishade under whose regime 3-4 air crashes were recorded and Ehindero who cannot manage the Nigerian Police force.

dozie ehh, if i hammer u, u go find ur way 2 ya vila, lol

@Hotstepper

Don't worry, I'll get you your own motorcycle.

@Topic

I believe for my father's generation (those born before independence), Yorubas were more educated but for my own generation, Igbos have caught up and probably overtaken them. Go to all these private schools in Lagos, it's Igbos all over the place, same with the public schools.

This is a reiteration of something I prophesied in my first post on this thread

all it'll lead to is ignorant comments, hatred&bashing.

confirmation: see thread

Yoruba's days are over in education

Priceless.

Conclusions are being drawn from irreputable proofs.

chei,419 in nairaland!!.
This kind medic-to-be wey no sabi construct simple English.
Is this what our education system has come to eh?

You better desist from 419 or God will punish you,anuofia

My student union president at Imo State University (1998) is now a trader at Ariaria Market in Aba, Abia State. With a degree in Biology, he could not get a job because Obasanjo could not provide one. Does that make him uneducated

NO. Not at all.

A man (an Igbo man) surviving through any legal means must be commended.
Try the word business man.
Trader sounds a little,you know,illiterate in Nigerian circles lol

Hi nairalanders, i am just a strugglin sec.sch graduate. Nevadless, i knw criticisms wil always come up.bt tel this is a situation i found myself nd i neva chose 2b in these difficulties@all@babyosisi

yahoo hoo! Send me your acct details and i'll pay some money into it. Also paste a picture of urself on Nairaland holding up a placard with these words ' I AM A TOSSER'. hope your dreams come true.

It was inevitable this thread would degenerate into a Yoruba vs Igbo pissing contest.

And the usual suspects are all accounted for

To people like xtycod- why do u guys try so hard to extol the virtues of ur ethnic nationality by bashing others? It just diminishes any credibility ur argument has and smirks of some sort of over-compensation. You always give the impression u r trying very hard to measure up to somebody else

And to all the Yorubas out there. I know u all grew up with the hubris of being the most educated in Nigeria. But it only seems that way from your town in Igboho somewhere. Its not really so in the outside world . We only seem more educated because of our large numbers. The rest of the country (especially the east) is just as educated now, if not more.

And this is a very good development cos now maybe everybody will start thinking at our level

xkape:

Yeah, it's a good development to start thinking like Obasanjo or Fredrick Fasheun.

What a pitty @aique. I help u wit a txt bk jst holla me on 08022569810

Donzman:

No Donzman, more like Wole Soyinka, the Kutis and countless other in banking academia business etc. U fill in the gaps.

By the way, Obasanjo is a slowpoke

what about thinking like the emeagwalis, iwealas, soludos, akunyilis, achebes etc? did these men/ladies learn the art of thinking from soyinka and fela?

this argument cannot be won unless factual accounts or statistical sources can be provided. Calling a few names e.g people who have succeeded in Obj's cabinet, or Nobel laureates and the like don't really prove anything. They are simply successful individuals,

NYSC figures would be of help to an extent, at least in indicating the number of people who have undergone higher education.

another question -

does the term 'most educated' refer to the group of Nigerians with the highest number of degrees?

or the tribe/group with the highest proportion/percentage of their population being educated?

these two cases are markedly different, and the distinction has to be made.

I personally have no particular opinion on this, I am simply an 'argument purist' - state your premise/position clearly and back it up with evidence

Pls Help me out of this difficulties because if this admission pass me by it's going 2 b another whole year which is not even going 2b sure 2 secure. I beg u in God's name pls n i'll appreciate evry help. Here is an a/c no : 125-2-1146828-1-3 (Wema bank). Thank u all

Can we see:
1. a copy of your admission letter or any other evidence?
2. your picture
How can we be sure this is not advance fraud?
I really wanna help but you can't just come to a forum like this and ask for financial assistance without proof that you are genuine.You don't sound very convincing.

I'll point out the key suggestions from debosky that you should really focus on to foster this discussion:

I hope that helps - without those(or some of those), this thread is a laugher.

This thread is based on a ridiculuous premise.

Whos tribe is more educated?

Whos father has the longest d*** ?

How do these questions put food on your table?

Do people get some sort of validation of themselves from inconsequential tribal arguments? Or are they just compensating for some unwaranted feeling of tribal inadequacy. [s](wetin be all dis grammar wey i dey talk sef. I don dey mumu o)[/s]

@arzorjiu
In case it was all lost on u. the jibes about "thinkin like us" and Soyinka etc was made "tounge in cheek". Do not take too seriously

This is wat different group of nigeria people feed on

Niger delta==> terrorist
igbo==> bussiness
Hausa==> High post of nigeria government without education but thru their brothers influence
Yoruba===> education

@ Topic: Peeps from Edo state, are definately the most educated nigerians. . . .

Its impossible to say who are the most educated people in Nigeria because of poppulation differences.Some of the smaller ethnic groups might be the most educated but we can't tell because of their relatively small populace

No one has mentioned the Itsekiris and all the smaller ethnic groups in the Niger-Delta

One good indicator will be finding out things like how many Nigerians hold patents for inventions in the US or loooking at Nigerians currently at Ivy League instituitions like MIT or Harvard

Even then population differentials can paint a confusing picture

i know this post is gonna cause a lot of bashing and lots of stupid things.well for me the Yoruba's and Ibo's are equally educated if u say the ibos drop out to sell spare parts its better than the Yoruba's who drop out to become area boys. but to me when you talk of high level education and no of Profs and successfull business gurus, I'd give it to the Yoruba's.the Norths? well pardon me but they are a disgrace and shame to Nigeria

Faity_5.:

the Norths? well pardon me but they are a disgrace and shame to Nigeria

the north don't count.

you people should leave the north alone.
Thanks to them we have nama out of which we have succulent,greasy and red hot suya,the best naija delicacy anyday.

All these Yoruba and Igbo people,you fit waka 40 miles a day in 120 degree temperature,flogging animals 20 times your size and a host of them too with nothing but a small water bottle and some rolls of kuli kuli?

We love our nothern brovers.

The Yoruba's off course are the most education people in Nigeria , the igbo people are mostly in doing or having business or chasing money around, most of them don't really futher their education like the Yoruba's , while the people in the north are only about milking cowwwwwwwwssssss around.

Omo Eko:

The Yoruba's off course are the most education people in Nigeria ,

With your grasp of the English language, u are certainly an exception among the Yorubas

lol I see even those "in Christ" can be tribalistic.
