Smartjob1:While it's difficult to definitively name a single "most educated tribe" in Nigeria due to the complexities of education and data collection, the Igbo and Yoruba tribes are consistently cited as having high educational attainment. These groups, along with the Edo, have a strong emphasis on education and are known for their high youth literacy rates. Other tribes like the Ibibio and Tiv also have strong educational legacies. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Those who do their thing well have taken their rightful place. This is why the Igbo man dominated the politico-military landscape of this nation during the colonial era when merit matters a lot with the white man. Literacy level o, primary/secondary school completion rate, quest for academic excellence o, entrepreneurship o, any where you take it to, the Igbo man is always in the forefront.

Apart from the Igbos, the minority tribes somehow beats the Yoruba and Hausa hands down when it comes to education. If you live in ekiti, ondo, osun, Ibadan and Ogun you will understand the quality of education in the west has fallen with majority struggling to sustain conversation in English, poor political permutations, poverty and poor basic amenities. Many in the south west so not know the geopolitical zones were states in Nigeria can be found. They don't know anything outside Yoruba land or Yoruba language. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Igbos are sure to top the chart. If u watch when Alex Otti met those children hawking,do u know what he ask them,he said hope u are in school? He further ask,hope it is free education u are enjoying and they all said yes. My point is not about the free education, but the part that ask hope u are in school. Now,imagine if it was a governor in the north that met those children,he would have given them money because begging is the major thing over there. And if it were in the west,it would have been "ko si owo onje" possibly the fate of the people. Igbos,are schooling in virtually every state,federal and privates universities all over Nigeria,hence the reason for this authentication. 8 Likes 1 Share |

These people deceiving themselves. It’s not bad anyway, it helps to reduce depression. Imagine saying that Igbos and Edos are more educated than Omoluabis. Today’s education level of Igbos and Edos is still less than education level of Omoluabis as at Nigeria’s independence 8 Likes 1 Share |

Celestialsword:The Legacy Awolowo left behind is still standing strong, which sector in Nigeria can you even compete with Yoruba? Industry, Banking and finance, ICT, IT, Entertainment, even Sports, I checked the last National sports festival and no south east states in top 10 and Yoruba have four state in top 10 and Ogun was even second, highest number of Forbes billionaires in Africa, highest Grammy awards, we have Pulitzer and even Nobel Laureate. As of today no tribe is as successful as Yoruba In Nigeria with 4 Yoruba on Forbes list that achievements alone pummel anything from any tribe, to put it in perspective most countries in Africa can't even get a single billionaire but Yoruba have four that's the highest in Africa and if you want to use nepotism excuse two of them made their money in UK and US. 1 Like |

Ruke1990:If you go to America most Americans barely know anything about Africa, Asia, Europe etc in fact most only know about America and don't care about anywhere else yet America is still the most successful country on earth. We can't speak English in Yoruba land and we are proud of it, you that can speak English how many Billionaires do you have on Forbes? How many Grammy awards have you won? How many of the university in your region is even rated in the top 10 university in Nigeria? Can you even match Yoruba industrial capacity apart from importing and 4 by 4 shops what else can you do? Do you have more professionals than Yoruba in Nigeria? How many Igbo can even speak good English? What want to eradicate your language is actually pidgin, something that will even sound like a barbarian speaking to the real English people. 2 Likes |

If Nigeria is based on merit, competence, capability, free and fair like it was before 1966 .Igbos will hold 98% of the positions in Nigeria and Nigeria would have been one of the best countries today; that’s why the British and not Gowon and his FG fought to displace Igbos. Don’t quote me go and read it yourself in Ademola Ademoyega book “why we struck ‘ and watch Ahmadu Bello 1965 video on YouTube complaining that Igbos had taken over the entire positions in the country based on merit , That is the result today and why Nigeria moved from a country building hydro power plants , white people schooling in Nigeria, very high GDP , President John Kennedy red carpets for state visits….down into an abyss of global Shame and failure of a country nobody wants to visit 6 Likes

Ibibios have really tried. Despite lacking in so many privileges others have enjoyed yet we still managed to be at top four in a country filled with over 250 ethnic groups. What an incredible feat! Of a truth, if not for many decades of marginalization for being minority and lack of access to opportunities like Igbos, we the Ibibios of Akwa Ibom State would top the chart. I am hopeful, someday we will. 5 Likes |
