The south East has a lot of brainy politicians too, don’t force 3rd class Obi China on us! You have intellectuals like Soludo, not Obi please 🙏🏾

keep deceiving yourself. Even those feeding you those lies know that they are just using the narrative to have an edge.


Shebi your champion Elrufai changed party and started recanting. Obi is now a saint.

Good.

When they write WAEC and replicate the same feat, our never-do-well neighbors in the West will said they used miracle centers.

I have said it times without number, it is only my dear Edo, and probably Delta, that can rival any southeastern state in the quality of education given to learners at the primary and secondary levels. Tertiary education is contestable, but they are still among the top two regions. I served there and the level of intentionality in education, even in public schools, is almost flawless.

Whenever my children finish their primary education in Benin City, they are going to have a fair share of secondary education in Enugu, Anambra, Abia or Ebonyi.

Kudos to our neighbors in the east.

you are a good man. You will prosper

Some people are still living in the euphoria of past glories and still adamant to agree that they have been left behind about some decades ago.

The same way you forced your otellectual Tinubu on us

Wayo is very plenty over there. Most of them are easily influenced. They fall for everything

iampeterben:
I think the question should be can one person control all of this regional powers? If NO, then why are we not practicing what America is practising. Where government is Decentralised.

So far, one person can't control or harness the country's potential. Regional govt would be the best approach as it was when we had premiers. That was when Nigeria was on track. We saw what the premiers achieved and how selfless they were which is a heartbreaking contrast between the crop of kleptocrats marauding today as politicians.

Is it not embarrassing that the region other regions insults and call them all manner of names or mock them that IPOB force them to sit at home which affects their academiic and businesses always come top in any academic competitions and other areas.
I keep saying it that no matter how other tribes or regions hate Igbos and which them badluck South East(Igbos)will keep on soaring and beating other tribes or regions hands down because they are God's own people

Franking:
Religion and tribalism won't allow us. Otherwise why don't we practice regionalism or even divide the country so everyone will go?

Nigeria is too big for one black man to rule. Simple.

no true sir. Not when we install the people's choice. I mean a right leader.

You can't say that when for a long time now, you kept trying few set of people from one or two regions, you swear that no matter how good some are , they cannot be in charge. So don't draw that conclusion yet .

That is the wayo we are talking about

It’s a normal thing for una eye to brag abi as e be say ba una trademark be that. But for real you guys are just ill-informed

I share the same sentiment with you, been from Anambra but born and raised in Benin I always tell people that the only state that can compete with Anambra when it comes to education in basic and post basic education is Edo and delta state

Besides Rwanda, which other black country is thriving? And how big is Rwanda?

What's wrong with dividing the country? Some people are holding others back......divide it let's develop at our different paces.

When it comes to education and brilliance, give it to the South East. Especially Anambra . That one is not in contention, at least, up till now.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Nigeria government jettison Merit and introduced quota system to avoid igbo dominance in all sectors

Only the ibos can save this Nigeria. It is clear

Where is the special centre crew?

OKKO:
Are you sure there will be no court order to swap the results? Nigeria is getting scarier by the day.

Igbo Amaka...😁😁

But these people are building on the foundation laid by Mr Peter Obi. His administration changed and upgraded the academic performance of the students in Anambra State. And the subsequent administrations which Soludo is one of them continued with his format.

You're right. No one is dragging it with us. We no get competition.

Don't forget to drink sniper when we replicate same in waec and jamb.

Y'all talk to much. This una pride, ego, and arrogance wouldn't allow you to be tolerated in a sane society. You can't have this kind of attitude and you'll say you want to rule in a country with diverse faith, culture, language etc. You'll be view as a threat.
There's no time even before this present political tension that you southeast people have this kind of mentality. You celebrate your wins to spite others...you use your 'little ' possession to spite others. In a place you're accommodated, you'll be feeling pompous and doing as if you're doing your host a favour. Y'all need to get this act out of your system. You inherit this trait from generation to generation, and it's destructive. Yet you'll end up cry tribalism, marginalization, bigotry etc.
I do say this; if other major tribes have been paying you back on your own coin,you'll have stop this nonsense way back.

No other schools from other regions participated. It’s specifically for the South East, so WHY that sensational headline?

Funny enough, the competition is for schools in the South East ALONE.

It is not recognized or organized by the FG. It is private only. The states in the SE on gave recognition after the competition has ended

Inspiration2017:
Deductions from the Report

1. A Historic but Carefully Hedged Claim

THE HEADLINE ANNOUNCES A "CLEAN SWEEP" BY SOUTH-EAST SCHOOLS, BUT THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE QUIETLY UNDERMINES ITS OWN CONFIDENCE. The phrase "while the full official breakdown of all winning schools in the 2026 national finals is yet to be publicly released" is a significant caveat — it means the central claim of the story is unverified at the time of publication. The article is reporting a result before the results are officially out, which raises questions about sourcing and journalistic rigour.

2. Scale of the Competition Lends Weight to the Achievement

WITH OVER 10,000 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING NATIONALLY, A TOTAL SWEEP ACROSS ALL CATEGORIES — IF CONFIRMED — WOULD INDEED BE EXTRAORDINARY. The sheer size of the competition pool means the South-East's performance cannot be casually dismissed as luck or small-sample fluke. If the claim holds up, it deserves serious analytical attention.

3. Named Institutions Are Regional, Not National Winners

THE SCHOOLS SPECIFICALLY CITED — DIAMOND SPECIAL COLLEGE AND DIVINE RAYS BRITISH SCHOOL — ARE FRAMED CAREFULLY. Diamond Special College "clinched the primary category in a major 2026 regional mathematics olympiad," not the national competition. Divine Rays is described as a "previously documented" national winner, not a 2026 winner. In other words, neither school is being named as a confirmed 2026 national finalist. The article uses associated prestige to imply a national result it cannot yet confirm.

4. The South-East's Academic Culture Is Structurally Significant

REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS SPECIFIC COMPETITION, THE ARTICLE POINTS TO SOMETHING REAL AND WELL-DOCUMENTED. The South-East geopolitical zone — particularly Anambra, Imo, and Enugu states — has historically placed exceptional emphasis on formal education, academic competition, and STEM achievement. The Igbo cultural value placed on educational attainment, the density of private and mission schools in the region, and long-standing competitive training traditions all support the claim that South-East dominance in national academic competitions is pattern-based, not accidental.

5. Institutional Collaboration Gives the Competition Legitimacy

THE JOINT ORGANISATION BY NIGERIAN TULIP INTERNATIONAL COLLEGES AND THE NATIONAL MATHEMATICAL CENTRE LENDS CREDIBILITY TO THE COMPETITION'S FRAMEWORK. This is not an informal or loosely structured event — it carries federal institutional backing, which means results, when officially released, will carry meaningful national weight.

6. The Article May Be Partly Anticipatory or Promotional

THE OVERALL STRUCTURE — MAKING A SWEEPING CLAIM, NAMING REGIONAL SCHOOLS POSITIVELY, ATTRIBUTING DOMINANCE TO SYSTEMIC FACTORS, THEN ADMITTING OFFICIAL RESULTS ARE UNAVAILABLE — FOLLOWS A PATTERN MORE CONSISTENT WITH REGIONAL PRIDE JOURNALISM OR EARLY PROMOTIONAL REPORTING THAN CONFIRMED INVESTIGATIVE COVERAGE. The author "ariesbull" and the 1:46am timestamp suggest this may be an online forum post or blog-style article rather than a vetted newspaper report.

7. A Broader Implication for Nigeria's Education Policy

IF THE SOUTH-EAST'S PERFORMANCE IS AS DOMINANT AS CLAIMED, IT RAISES A LEGITIMATE POLICY QUESTION. What are other geopolitical zones — particularly the North-East and North-West, which consistently trail in educational indices — doing differently, and what structural interventions could close the gap? The report, intentionally or not, frames the South-East as a model rather than simply a winner.

---

SUMMARY VERDICT: The report contains a credible and culturally grounded argument about South-East academic strength, but it is built on an unconfirmed result. It should be read as a strong early indicator or regional celebration piece rather than a verified national record. The deductions it supports are real; the specific claim it makes is still pending official confirmation.

That's why we need our BIAFRA. We don't belong this this shitty country! This ba"stard contraption is inhibiting our excellence! BIAFRA will come!

Borrow2222:
Where selection is based on merit and not nepotism or tribalism, SE will always win.

This is largely true. Thomas Sowell noted this. In most meritocratic competitions in the country, Igbos tend to outperform other groups.
