SonOfDSoil01:
grin muumu, if we are to follow the warped stats you are gloating over, what is the difference btw 90 and 88? grin even without the stats, it is a well known fact that the Yorubas are still the most educated people in Nigeria. We have the highest number Human Resources and also the best schools are domiciled in the west which are schools of first choice internationally recognised grin most of your ancestors even got their education in the west and even your ibo language vocabulary was written by a Yoruba man….nwokem Yoruba no be Una mate by all standards grin

Nobody stops your leaders from your SE from giving you free education.
The free education was actually for SW to catch up with SE on education, that's what that guy explaining, we are fighting war because at that time we already dominated the education system

It should be those who can read and write English language,those who cannot read and write the English language doesn't make the illiterates.

Majority of northerners can read and write Arabic
Lies, and you can't educate them in Maths and Science using Arabic books.
Re: Average Nigerians Who Can Read And Write By Geopolitical Zone by TheOvercomer(m): 12:42pm On Dec 02, 2025
Yet the North West possesses and churns out the Largest voting numbers of 6 million or even more, during elections.

Is this deliberate or coincidental?

You didn't know the meaning of what they wrote,southwest still remain the most educated region in Nigeria and Africa, go and do your findings, it's just ordinary read and write, not the level of education, so my dear brother stop this your big dream.

You never dominated anything and never you will. Since over 100 years of Nigeria, you still depends on the SW for education.

Your luck is that the SW leaders open the good and free education for any tribe living in the SW if not, SE and the NW will be on the same level.

My dear who brought education to the southeast? Is a Yorubaman, Bishop Ajayi Crowder. At the free education of awolowo in the southwest, no discrimination Igbos in Yorubaland also benefitted. Please a sensible Igbo person should respect us and accord us our honour that we deserve and not share envy and hate. Your actions towards us at all times shows we are greater. Don't be insulting your benefactor. On records you have been destroying your places but we concerning about building it, that is also why you troop in here and no significant people left in your place. Check your IGR and VAT contributions, that is why you always want to be claiming the SS to yourself and they don't want you sef.

We can never be in the same level you people always think everything resonate around you but it's not actually true, only the war set SE back briefly and SW enjoyed the opportunities of capital city Lagos nothing more

First UI VC was an Igbo man because the NCNC was in power only. He had many Yorubas who were Professors before him. The same applied to Unilag too. The Yoruba were turned to spectators because they were in opposition despite having all the human resources
