BiafranYouths:
My name is Akpan Ibiono, I am from Ibiono Ibom L.G.A of Akwa Ibom State the highest producer of crude oil in the Impoverished Niger Delta Area of Nigeria.
I want to explain to the misguided children of Akwa Ibom State kicking against the actualization of our own republic Biafra.
Tell me 5 things you've benefited from the federal fraudulent republic of Nigeria and I'll name 5 million things we stand to benefit from federal republic of Biafra
Youths of Akwa Ibom State let's think for ourselves, our parents were brainwashed into betraying our own very cousin in the Biafran war, look at where they are now. Old, poor, dejected and denied freedom. Should we let the mistake of our parents be repeated once more in time?
Biafra is the answer to what we've been clamoring for. We'll never have a chance in Nigeria with this born to rule savages up north.
We have Mobil drilling oil in Eket but their headquarters is in Lagos, why? We have the economy of Nigeria running from our God-given resources, but we are marginalized. Why? Fashola has only his working only in the west, when we have dilapidated federal death traps littered in our States, but money is taken from Niger Delta to develop the west and north, why? We have ports at Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri and others but there are not functional, why? We have airports of International standards but we have to travel to Lagos to connect U.S.A why?
This Marginalization must stop! Youths the elders have done their best we need to take the baton from them with due respect. It is time for us to come together to mould and chart our future for the benefit of generations yet to come. This contraption called Nigeria will impoverish us like our parents!!
Enough is Enough Youths of Akwa Ibom let us actively join hands with our cousins to Agitate for our country, if need be let's re deploy our militants and keep them combat ready we're going fatal!
Don't listen to their propaganda. Don't listen to hate and divisive message.
Igbos love us, we are their cousins, same beliefs, similar culture, same worship, same standards.
We are one, they are our brothers keepers, they stood by us when president Jonathan was rigged and muscled out from office.
Youths of Akwa Ibom State we have no chance in Nigeria!!! We have more than enough chances in Biafra!!! We had a vice president of Biafra from Akwa Ibom State in person of Gen. Philip Effiong Vice president of Biafra.
United States of America, United Nations, Ecowas and the world at large should listen; Akwa Ibom Youths hereby pledge our allegiance to Biafra.
All hail Biafra!
Biafra my Nation
Biafra my pride
Biafra Ayaya
We've launch a movement across the world for Biafrans of Non-speaking territories
>>>>>>>>>>Biafran Youth Alliance <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Like us on Facebook "Biafran Youth Alliance "

All hail BYA!!!! Biafra my nation, Biafra my pride

Bro, Ibiono is different from Ibeno. You guys should stop this propaganda.

I'll be the first person to protest against a Biafra with the non Igbo speaking communities, we don't need them.

Biafra should be a homogeneous Igbo nation.

Idiots will always pick up something negative. It is not about Muslim/Christian anymore now; it is now about region. Some people are just so dumb that they make the word "stupid" to lose its meaning.

This is what you get when contraceptives fail.

These igbos are just greedy

Isn't that enough reason for you to kick them out?

Members of the House of Representatives from the South-East geopolitical zone have called for a provision for referendum in the Nigerian constitution to open up avenues for discussions on self-determination by Nigerians.

They also insisted that Nigeria was due for
restructuring and that it would be done, no
matter how long it would take.

You couldn't even notice the grammatical error. It should be 'than' not 'that'. Can you provide references too?

Philistine:
This aptly describes the igbo people, they are only trying to cover it up. But it is clear to any sane mind that they suffer from low self esteem.

You'd do well to look for the book from which YonkijiSappo cropped out the part he posted titled "The African Diaspora to the Bahamas" By Keith L. Tinker. The author clearly stated that "the report was unflattering to other African groups and clearly biased towards the Yoruba". That was even a report on African slaves in the Bahamas and not in Africa.

Afriifa:
now you see how you reason? Sorry to say but your reasonings are shallow.. What if the other person is studying elsewhere? I mean not in the same school but another, maybe even with more competitive class.........

We can now see whose reasoning is shallow. Igbo students have consistently gotten admitted into all 8 Ivy League schools year after year over and above every other African race and you are coming at me with such pedantry postulation as above?

A study carried out in the UK (see attached pics) established that Igbo students outperform other African nationalities, outperform the Whites and outperform the Chinese.

What evidence have you got? Nothing but sentiments.

Afriifa:
Believe me when I say other tribes achieves more than the igbos, even smarter.. It is just that they don't BRAG about it.

Bro, evidence doesn't hide. If you come first in your class, no matter how the person who came second brags, records won't change to show his name as the first.

UK: Igbo Nigeria Academic Performance Destroys The Myth Of Black Low IQ

Source: Raising the Achievement of Black African Pupils: Good Practice in Schools


A couple of years after that news and more stories of black and other minority progress on GCSEs, GL Assessment, an independent testing organization, published results of their Cognitive Assessment Tests (CAT), indicating the performance of different ethnic groups. The CAT, though given to children at age 11, is highly correlated with GCSE results at age 16. The CAT results confirmed what the GCSEs had shown: that black Africans were catching up with British whites, and this sparked even more panic in the IQ-human biodiversity blogosphere.




Nigeria and Igbo academic supremacy in Britain




Although the Chinese and Indians are still very conspicuously above even the best African nationalities, their superiority disappears when the Nigerian and other groups are broken down even further according to their different tribal ethnicities. Groups like the famous Igbo tribe, which has contributed much genetically to the African American blacks, are well known to be high academic achievers within Nigeria. In fact, their performance seems to be at least as high as the “model minority” Chinese and Indians in the UK, as seen when some recent African immigrants are divided into languages spoken at home (which also indicates that these are not multigenerational descendants but children of recent immigrants).



Africans speaking Luganda and Krio did better than the Chinese students in 2011. The igbo were even more impressive given their much bigger numbers (and their consistently high performance over the years, gaining a 100 percent pass rate in 2009!). The superior Igbo achievement on GCSEs is not new and has been noted in studies that came before the recent media discovery of African performance. A 2007 report on “case study” model schools in Lambeth also included a rare disclosure of specified Igbo performance (recorded as Ibo in the table below) and it confirms that Igbos have been performing exceptionally well for a long time (5 + A*-C GCSEs); in fact, it is difficult to find a time when they ever performed below British whites. The Chinese and Indian levels of Free School Meals are even lower than the Ghanaian and Nigerian pupils when the Africa segment is broken down into nationalities.


If these Nigerian groups really performed so well under the years in question when the media started catching the news, one would expect some names of their students to be reported in the news among the best performing students in the country. Statistically, if girls outperformed boys and Igbos outperformed other ethnic groups in 2010, one would expect an igbo girl to be among the top performers in the country. In fact, according to a Daily Mail report on the GCSE results of 2010, the best student in the whole country was indeed a Nigerian girl, Chidera Ota. A check on Nigerian names confirms that she is of Igbo descent. Ota scored 15 A*s, higher than any Chinese, Indian or white student, and higher than any student from prestigious elite schools like Eton College (she was at a state funded selective high school for girls).



To put it into perspective, these results mean that the children of black Africans (or at least West Africans) are not only not scoring below the scores of low-IQ poor white children, as Jensen’s calculations would predict, they are even able to score above children of elite whites too (who go to Eton college etc).



What are the chances of a girl from a small minority group of immigrants whose home country is 2 standard deviations below the host country’s mean IQ achieving the best academic results in the host country? If the average IQ of SubSaharan African adults is equal to 11 year old Europeans, as their IQ scores estimate (Rushton, 2004), what are the chances that an African child of such adults would ever beat all European children in academic achievement? Had the low phenotypic IQ of black Africans truly been biologically caused even to some degree, such feats should be as rare as having the fastest 100 meters runner in the world coming from the slowest running ethnicity in the world. In short, what are the chances of say, an Indian immigrant to Jamaica winning the national 100 meters sprint? Even more incredible, what are the chances that the children of such “super-selected” Indian immigrant athletes would also (on average and on top) beat the children of native Jamaicans and other immigrants known for their superior athleticism?




The academic performance of the African students in the UK is even more remarkable when the well-known fact of higher black involvement in sport and athletics (at any level) is taken into account. Whereas Chinese and Indian students are not exactly expected to lead their schools or colleges to winning athletic championships, many black students are actively involved in athletics even when they have a strong academic focus. For example, a check on the Cambridge web site reveals that Chidera Ota, the UK’s best GCSE student in her cohort, was also the fastest runner in the girls 100 and 200 meters team for Cambridge (she qualified to Cambridge’s premed program after subsequently achieving straight A’s on her A-levels).





Since she could not have just become a fast runner in college, it means that she achieved her academic performance in high school while being very active in athletics. It is quite plausible that the higher athletic commitments of black African students probably hinders them from achieving even further than they do in academics; it is especially difficult to develop a deep mastery of a specific academic field since this requires much more intensive focus and time commitments. On the other hand, it is also difficult for them to suppress their natural athletic (or artistic) gifts and interests for an unbalanced academic existence.

of course igbos graduate with aces and that is a feat what celebrating bro, not admissions. That is my submission

Gerrarahia my friend.

timawoku:
yes it does but I am more proud to see us graduate with aces, rather than all these admission of a thing

Do you have any evidence to suggest we do not graduate with Aces?

sammyscholar:
It is not even Affirmative Action in the first place.

I know, I'm just engaging the bitter revisionist.

timawoku:
I just said it as it is

It still remains a personal achievement and I am not abating any1s Achievement (very typical nigerian mentality), read btw the lines you will see an undertone of reality aand not beef...I have passed that stage a long time ago

Let's all agree it's affirmative action. I ask again, why are only Igbo students consistently taking up affirmative action quotas meant for African students in all 8 Ivy League schools?

Doesn't that suggest that they at least perform better than other African nationalities?

timawoku:
my goodness!
The achievement is actually graduating with best of grades, that would make Nigeria really proud!
Besides you don't even know which tribe I am from but you are quick to stereotype. Bros I bow o

There is evidence to support that performance in SAT, GCSE, etc correlate with grades on graduation, so?

timawoku:
my brother, am not being tribalistic but there is nothing proud there...
Its only in Nigeria that they can come out to brag but can they in the usa?
This is because american people know that these 8 ivy colleges have reserved quota for africans just like handicaps quota in a company. We can liken it to a situation in nigeria were special quota is to be reserved for those in core north to study in top 10 uni in nigeria (ui, oau,unn,etc) and After careful observation/consideration of the code and quota, a candidate was chosen in almost all these unis (with some requirements waived so as to satisfy permutation), does that make him a genius? We can term them circumstancial lucky chaps *no beef o

Why aren't your brothers grabbing g the quota slots reserved for Africans in all 8 Ivy League schools? Why always Igbos every year or is the bar set lower for the Igbos than for other African ethnic groups?

You may want to to read this thread for more light.

Still the best thread on nairaland.

You can say that again.

MILFangela:
You are comparing apples with oranges. Umaru Yaradua University is a state owned University in Katsina while University of Katsina Dutsima Federal owned.
Delta state has a state University at Abraka(?) and a Federal University at Effurun. Situating the Maritime University at Delta state again will make the State have two Federal Universities while some state in the Niger Delta dont even have one. Na only Ijaw and Delta state dey Niger Delta?

Which state in the Niger Delta does not have a Federal University?

Thanks and thank goodness it was just one soldier. may he RIP

When the Nigerian army releases a statement saying that a particular number of soldiers died, multiply the number the give by 10 at least.
