Apart from Bruce Onanrakpeya and Ben Okri, the rest on that list are not worth mentioning as achievers on the international stage.

I may consider Goodie Ibru

Ooh, It has changed from high flying professionals to international achievers.By all standards these are great professionals. Please use Google a bit more.

Ojaide has won major national and international poetry awards, including the
Commonwealth Poetry Prize for the Africa region (1987), the BBC Arts and Africa Poetry Award (1988), the All-Africa Okigbo Prize for Poetry (1988 and 1997), the Association of Nigerian Authors ' Poetry Prize (1988, 1994, 2003 and 2011) [1] and the Fonlon-Nichols Award. [2] In 2016, Ojaide won the Nigerian National Order of Merit award, the apex and the most important award for scholastic excellence in Nigeria.

Keep deceiving yourself and swim in ignorance like most Igbos.The old Bendel state was one of the most educated state with Binis,Urhobos at the forefront. Please worry less about Aniomas who deny relationship with igbo and identify more with their Bini ancestry,you should be more concerned about your uneducated cousins in rivers state and Ebonyi

nwabobo:
Let me educate you further. Medicine is a course that required high intellect hence people with high intelligence pass and get admission on merit. That fact is reflected on the JAMB statistics. A further look at the distribution of high flying Deltans in various professions also point to the fact that a greater percentage of them are Anioma. One can easily draw the inference even in the absence of raw data that Anioma people lead other Deltans in admission into Medicine.

Stop contradicting yourself,its only an uneducated person that make inferences without supporting data. You know nothing about delta state.
Next time don't list sportsmen when we are discussing intellect.
How many high flying Deltans do you know? Guess u have never heard of
Festus Keyamo
David Dafinone and his kids who are the only Nigerian family to have made it to the Guinness book of records
Igho Sanomi who was the youngest billionaire in Nigeria at a time
Oviemo Ovedje
Tega Emerhor
Moses Taiga
Goodie Ibru
David Ejoor
Bruce onobrakpeya
Onigu Otite
Tanure Ojaide
Ben Okri

I won't add sports and entertainment fields which have more presence than your anioma brother.
Please educate yourself before you try to educate others.No Anioma will engage in this your baseless argument

nwabobo:
I can off the top of my head mention people like

Ngozi Iweala
Tony Elumelu
Jim Ovia
Pat Utomi
Buchi Emecheta
Joy Ogwu
Ibe Kachikwu
Ben Okri
Stephen Kesh
Jay Jay Okocha
Sunday Oliseh

etc. Note that I deliberately haven't listed any politician here.

Now, let me educate you more. Let's say Anioma has a population of 100 people and 50 are educated and Urhobo has a population of 1000 and 300 are educated, which would you say is more educated?

It's like saying Nigerians are more educated than the Swedes because we have a larger population in education.

Please read the topic again and your initial statement I quoted.
The topic was all about the numbers in medical school. I'm a Deltan,born and raised.Visit Delta state before arguing what you know nothing about.
Ben Okri is an Urhobo man. Okri means he goat in Urhobo.

nwabobo:
Dude, we are not talking about numbers here but performance.

List Deltans who are educated and professionally successful from the various tribes, let's take it from there.

How can you be the most educated when you don't have the numbers in school.
It's totally impossible to make a list of all successful Deltans. You can only do a little survey in an environment like Lagos. How many Aniomas do you have in your place of work compared to ....

nwabobo:
Why are you like this? What does being a minority or majority have to to with performance?

What's the population of Jews compared to their contribution to global development?

please visit the universities and higher institutions in Delta state and across Nigeria and do a little census of Aniomas and compare to the Urhobos and Isokos.I believe u will be better informed.

CSTR2:
Without the aniomas ,delta would be a full blown militant state.

ignorance on steroids

CSTR2:
IMO has the highest number of professors according to the NUC.

The most educated state in the country,with a strong competition from Delta, thanks to the highly educated anioma bloc.

The SE as a geopolitical zone has emerged as the most educated in Nigeria right now.

Though it can change.

stop displaying ignorance, aniomas in delta north senatorial district are not the most educated block in delta state.

nwabobo:
Old Bendel is the Delta area and in Delta it's the Igbo area ie Anioma.

Stop this ignorance already, igbos are minority in Delta

HigherEd:
This is how to honor a man of God! Nigerians should learn how to treat Pastors respectably jare.
Billy Graham was reportedly worth 25 million USD and he also handed his ministry to his son, Franklin. yet his ppl celebrated him. But here jobless ppl go dey track and blame Oyedepo and Adeboye for all their lives problem. Some of the ppl here screaming RIP would be the first to crase because Oyedepo handed over to his Son.

churches shouldn't be inherited, it's bad practice copied from American evangelicals.Its totally wrong

NwaAmaikpe:


His wife should be ashamed of him for this,
His mother too and his unlucky kids.

I'd have expected Tayo to be more concerned with banging up his dead music career than he is with the sex life of two misguided, lost youths.

Like Efe, like Tayo.
They won't let music be even though music has rejected them.

don't ever compare Tayo with EFE. EFE has an EP currently receiving air play on different TV and radio stations. compare them when Tayo makes a music video with almost a million views on YouTube

like play like play, EFE has greatly improved. very good effort

Man Utd will win champions league

Man United can't win with Sanchez

donstan18:
Mr Adekunle.

Rape case and accusation isn't something you expect fans and fellows to jump into conclusion, it might be true or might not be, you don't just conclude that she was raped simply because she's close to you or so.

We have a lot of rapists in our society and aswell we have a lot of ladies who hides under the shield of the word "Rape" just to get back at men, reacting like a chemical on twitter won't make Nigerians develop an immediate believe that she was raped, neither will it help bring justice to the lady if she was raped.


With the help of a proper investigation, I pray that justice should be brought between the accuser and the accused.

God bless you, I tend to believe the guys account maybe because I have first hand experience of how these slay queens abuse and disrespect uber drivers

All the people who shouted change in 2015 suddenly started shouting youth, just to gain attention.
Donald Duke if you are running let us know instead of this cowardly running round in circles

This is an indictment on our government, if this guy is educated

He was hit by the caterpillar of CHANGE, Hehehe U can now start shouting sai baba in hell with Abacha

loads of girls with issues like this are slay queens,something is not adding up

This government and stupid publicity stunt. Buhari and his goons have redefined underperformance.

OP what do you mean by "pervasive white garment churches"

Kay17:
There was a subsidy that ballooned to over a trillion naira. Also the value of the naira relative to the dollar was lower than right now. Compare 150 naira to a dollar then and 350 to the dollar right now

I think Nigerians don't care so much about these technical jargons as it relates to subsidy.They just want fuel available at a reasonable price instead of the 240per Litre

How did Jonathan manage to sell fuel at 97/litre when crude oil was selling at 100dollar per barrel

DadaStephen1:
If you live in Abuja , kaduna or anywhere around, you're hereby invited to attend this conference. It's actually put together for the youths Come and express yourselves, come and ask questions and get clarifications, come and paint a picture of the kind of Nigeria you want.

Don't blame CAN, when CAN speaks up against this things they are abused by some persons including Christians in the southwest. Apart from Oyedepo all the pastors in the southwest are cowards and pro APC.

frankyychiji:
Tough luck. Remember his blood allegedly mixed with his brains, the best bet for him is a vegetative state.

On the other hand, he will be a candidate for next year's paralympics.

Poor boy suffering the sins of his evil father!

Hehehe

When will this government stop lying and propaganda

Don't worry lying pastor, governors of Edo and Shettima, who were in the meeting where the decision was taken have already told us the truth.
Stop this window dressing. This man is a disgrace to the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

Where is buharis secondary school certificate.
Atiku has a Diploma with a very high IQ unlike buhari who lacks the intellectual capacity to understand 21st century economics

Childish and directionless government
