Majority of the first class highest record breakers in the SW are majorly of Eastern origin. The first student to have gotten gpa of 7 point in the prestigious UI was an igbo man and so is such record all over the place.
Jamb statistics may not lie but imo, Anambra and Delta always top the Jamb application and University enrollment. I hope you research that.

I disagree with Reno, all this your narrative was before not presently if it was ever happened . Reno we know you have ancestorial background with Yoruba even your name said it all. South West are full of Area Boys and thugs. Presently in Education they are lacking behind to compare South East. Obasanjo put many Yoruba on strategic positions in Oil sectors during his eight years which I'm aware of that

God bless the author. He's done well this time even though I don't always agree with him.


And God bless the Yoruba nation - the heartbeat of Nigeria.

Simplyleo:

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.

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)

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 .

PataAlhajaKeji:


But that is the truth.

I'd rather employ an Igbo who knows the ropes than a Yoruba who does not.

Yes, I'm Yoruba.

BobbieZion:


The richest are Northerners.

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!

When the north stopped trucks bringing food and meat for a week, the whole south almost died of hunger. Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, Yams and cows...Olu Okewo sounds about right.

kponkedenge:


Where did you get the stats that the richest tribe is Yoruba followed by Hausas? Or did you mean to write the richest man?

Igbos wealth are saturated.... Not held by a few people like we see in the North and SW whereby one man is a millionaire and everyone around him is poor.

Get your facts straight.

mancoconut:

It's an absolute myth that yorubas are more educated than Igbos, even though yorubas admittedly had the head-start in acquiring education first before other tribes in Nigeria due to their earlier exposure to Christian missionaries and western education, Igbos who were late to the western education party not only caught up with yorubas but even surpassed them, Igbos were preponderantly dominant in literally all fields of human endeavor pre and post independence Nigeria, so much so that the fear of "Ibo domination" became a very portent fear especially in the North as Igbos flooded the academic parastastals, civil service, Federal top jobs, even some of the best educated military officers then were predominantly Igbos etc...Ahmadu Bello's famous interview granted to a European reporter about Igbo domination even accentuated these facts... Awo's free education sure helped to bolster the yorubas in terms of academia, but at no point where they more educated than Igbos... not even after the war when Igbo lost all their major positions in Nigeria were Igbos overtaken.

So being more successful is by selling your land to your imaginary unfortunate people,just to be able to eat Ewudu.

WesternOligarch:


And that's fine, as long as you don't see any Yoruba who can't do the job....but what's even better is if you get someone who knows the ropes to teach your fellow Yoruba as to enable a transfer of skill that way you're also adding value to your community. Professionalism and a good work ethic is good but can never beat brotherhood, even the europeans and arabs know this law and obey it to the latter, I know this first hand. Awolowo and most of our Yoruba founding fathers understood this and created policies which you indirectly are a beneficiary of. The free education policy lifted millions of Yoruba's out of poverty and affecting generations yet unborn and giving us an edge. A man's duty is to his God, himself, his family and tribesmen.
