This is were you're wrong. Igbos marry largely for social and economic gain even in 2021. Money is their god.

You are teaching your brother tribalism 101

AbaLion:

Emphasis on "the north". At no point in history, both pre or post-independence were ibos ever ahead of the Yoruba - Never was and Never will be.
There is a reason that Yoruba have never been an inch bothered about your so called "ibo domination" fantasy which only existed in the imagination of an average ibo - the fact that Yoruba being the "head" would never give a damn regarding how the "tail" wags, so long it's stuck in between the legs.
The north could be much bothered about ibos flooding her region fill up job opportunities meant for the northerners being the most educationally disadvantaged at the time as rightly expressed by Ahmadu Bello. In contrast, the Yoruba region was the standard template such that it was readily the best option for a lot of Igbos to get the best of western Education. The best of Igbo brains in the mordern era, I dare say, are Southwest trained, Ngozi okonjo iweala, Chinua Achebe, your most prized assets had a bite of the cherry.
At a point, during colonialism, A certain Samuel Ajayi Crowther had come back from slavery as a missionary to teach your ibo ancestors how to read and write through the publication of the isuoma ibo premier - Till date, ibos had not shown appreciation, nonetheless, We Muuve!..
Till the end of the world, ibos can never catch up in any academic endeavor. For every 1 ibos produced, Yoruba would have produced 10 (and I'm being reasonable)

Loads of rubbish, even in your region most of the notable academicians in your academic institutions were Igbo, I believe the first VC from the University of Ibadan was Kenneth Dike? How come Igbos produced majority of the best brains in the areas of civil service and other top Federal ministerial jobs during the first republic according to records even confirmed by the British? how come the best educated crop of military officers and NCO's at the time who were Sandhurst trained and educated were mainly Igbos (once again confirmed by the British in all their classifications of the various regions on the merit of facts and records)?, the fear of Igbo domination wasn't only prevalent in the North but also had significant inroads in the Westeen region (otherwise the famous "Yoruba ronu" anti Igbo speech by Akintola wouldn't have been birthed).

Currently (if you want to go by present statistics), all the best performing states that have topped the index in all the national exam indices over the past years have been SE states, bring me any (and I triple dare you) any current stats that shows all the SW states outperform the SE states on any academic level both home and abroad and I'll forever hold my peace, it's not enough to blab without presenting your facts!
You guys are just making noise about first VC of UI but we know from our history that there are more qualified professors then and Zik foolishly appointed a igbo man ahead of more qualified yoruba professors, but hw does dis amount to having more educated ppl than yoruba, only a fool will think that way, u have a university in the west, use a igbo VC, ironically who r those that will be more educated, is d sch educating d VC of the ppl of the said region

Most of u igbos are just dumb....when it comes to being industrious I give it to igbos but education forget it, u r not more intelligent and expose as omokri so if his telling u that fact just take it, he has seen it all and u cannot base ur conclusion on ur own imagination

When it comes to special center and running a manipulated exam we all know hw south east go about dis.....it seems u r living on imaginary assumptions

Angelfrost:


That is very poor generalization...

I have Igbo friends who are married... They married for no such thing! Most of these people are already made socially and economically prior to getting married unlike their counterparts from other tribes and regions.

Let's learn to be truthful!

And it is highly ignorant to say that the Southwest depends on other regions for electricity. Not true. The Southwest has Papalanto, Olorunsogo 1 and 2, Egbin Thermal Power station and Omotosho 1 and 2. It seems that Mr. Okeowo still has a 1960s mindset. Today’s Nigerian electricity is not solely hydro based (Kainji Dam, Geregu, etc). Those days are long gone.

Can you post links of statistics to back your claim?

On this, Reno is 100% correct and I agree with him for the first time.

But Reno should be ready to take insults from those people deveroping the universe with their imaginary education.

SmartPolician:
South West has obviously done so well for itself, especially in education. However, one thing I know for certain is that it takes so much to build a city.

If Nigeria splits today and the government doesn't make effort to keep the non-Yoruba residents, Lagos will become a shadow of its former itself. That's because both Nigerians and foreigners built the city.

Morenikeji070:
Lolz I dey tell you... South west is the heart of Nigeria na south west have resources pass apart from crude oil at least we have for ondo and lagos.. so we are okay with that

Baawahala:
If you go to SW,you will know that presently, its only 25% of the 1990s generation are in school.
They are generally lazy.
Ask Nigeria Bureau of Statistics.I am just coming from their office now.
If I tell you what I saw,if the trend continue,the Yoruba will have more area boys,rougs,fake pastors who soot their foolishness with religion,and more betrayers.

AbaLion:

You referring to a period of time when Zik was at the top of power, a time ibo centrism was rife, when ibo almost had it all. Even when there were better qualified individuals of other regions with accompanying recommendations from the British former heads of various institutions, Zik would still go ahead to fill up top positions in federal civil service with a large number of ibos.
After all, they were federal appointments and the big dog called the big shots. Some top ibo officers also replicated tribal appointments in recruitment of ibos in the service.
Yoruba Ronu was apt and timely as it awakened the consciousness of an average Yoruba to the guiles of Zik and the generality of ibo's slimy nature. As they flood themselves in your space, disguised to conquer, denied the indigenes their rightful slots for his ibo kinsmen, and at most times, transfer federal contracts meant for the West to the East. In all of these, their most cherished space back home was being protected from an inch of it being occupied by an outsider, such is the case till date.
With Zik being the President & Governor General, All the Federal parastatals in the Eastern region were occupied and dominated by the ibos, without any slightest consideration to the Westerners or Northerners.
Zik's craziest idea of ibo domination through abuse of power was soon discovered to be the Achille's heel of ibo subjugation.

Currently, the Weac results in the SE would count for nothing as long as individuals from SW are breaking records that any ibo will find it hard to match, if ever..
Aside producing an undergraduate proffessor in the history of Nigeria recently, this girl has just proven both home and abroad that she is head above any ibo child her age that could come out of the South east.
Where were the sophisticated yorubas when illiterate Zik against all odds became the first president and governor general ?

Igbos are always the first and you can't rewrite history,,
First Nigerian president igbo,
First Nigerian military head of state igbo
First civilian vice president of Nigeria igbo
First Senate president of Nigeria igbo
First indigenous speaker of the house of reps igbo

I can go on and on and on ,,yorubas woke up from their slumber during and after the civil war ,,,if not civil war yorubas can't stand the igbos in all ramification,,, the richest town in West Africa is Nnewi ,,they have tee highest distribution of billionaires,,check your facts

PrinceOfLagos:

The Igbos may not be educated like the Yorubas (All thanks to Obafemi Awolowo's free education) but, I can tell you that the Igbos are the most successful tribe in Nigeria .

Idiko1:


The bolded is pure figment of silly imagination. One wonders which era in Nigeria do you belong, Reno Omokri. In the 60 Nigeria, from military to academic, one certain ethnic group dominated things in Nigeria and it was certainly not Yoruba or people from southwest.

See them rejoicing. Reno is right this time, abi? He's suddenly stating facts, no more mumu buttons. But, everytime he spoke good of SE they said he was pressing Igbo mumu button.

This our SW neighbours sef.

There's a reason why you're the major tribe that sells it's women of money, goats, yams and gin for marriage. The average Igbo man worships money, it's his one true religion.
