1929 igbos really started education late sha

But by 1950s we were already almost at the same educational standards as out Yoruba brothers that started in 1850s

By 1966 to 75 we lost about 10 years again... By 1990 we overtook the yorubas but since 2000 the gap between us have become more and more visible

There is a reason u don't see number of graduates per state yearly....the gap South East states gave the rest of Nigerian states is embarrassing honestly

Beautiful.

One of the greatest and deliberate, systematic efforts by colonial masters in ensuring that we longer wrap palm leaves around our waist started in 1929 by the introduction of schools.

The aesthetic are superb and i believe students tutored here are generally gonna be brilliant kudos.

Without grace of God, igbos would never have risen from the ashes of the Civil War. How is bringing insights from a historical perspective now boasting?

I am Igbo but some how I support you, but not on the bases of Yoruba envy

Why do they envy u and on what basis?

How do people who dont even move enough to your region to know much about u, envy u

Its like saying the South African/UK people hate Nigerians when in reality they do not even come down here to know much about us


But being the logically handicapped igbo person that u are, You cant be bright enough to think that way

I'm happy tho, that most of your brightest brains since 1960 actually had their tertiary education in the SW, From Chinua to the most recent SE govs



Also, How hard is it to celebrate igbo greatness exclusively without having to mention Yorubas....

Who's Obsessed with who

Oga stop the misinformation. Methodist College Uzuakoli (founded 1923) is older than Government College Umuahia(founded 1929). Don't mislead the public
