Even the quality of education in south east is on another level.
I told somebody that it would be difficult for people who attended school in other regions to compete with south east People.

Igbos generally has always been an enlightened set of people right from the onset

The ultimate question is why is Fulani ( the second Lowest in the country ) the one controlling the government and the rest of the country ?

A thread for them to disgrace themselves
Re: The Most Educated Children In Nigeria By Ethnicity - StatiSense by Arostar2023:
I wonder the basis for these statistics? Africa doesn’t need this at a time like this. Other races have already moved on from tribalism et al. In Canada, for instance, once you are white , you are white, it doesn’t matter whether you’re polish , German or British. All these shenanigans are counter productive. Yesterday, it was someone proposing his ethnic attire for NYSC, tomorrow who knows what else.
