Congratulations to Igbos for this.

because in 1966 certain SE soldiers and leaders who had zero knowledge of economics could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and due to their superiority complex and mindset to always dominate non-SE people they ignorantly chose to destroy the regionalism that would have made every SE person filthy rich and start a civil war..

Biafla was a war used by wyte people to impoverish the SE region and turn SE people eyes away from the oil.

it is crude oil that controls the country...

oh! so ojukwu was a white man? I didn't know all these while 🤣🤣🤣 and na people wey them talk say dey intelligent be this 🤣🤣🤣

Now, the simple question is, is the crude oil found in the northern part of the country?

Akalia:
Igbo are tth smartest ethic group in Nigeria when it comes to formal education.

Lol

helinues:
Edo above Yoruba as how? Who conducted the survey?

Is it because edo folks are not loud like your ibo brothers? Lol trust me there is a WHOOOOLE lot you guys don't know about edo state and her people.

Bossman:
Does everything in Nigeria need to be divided along Ethnic Or Tribal lines? This lack of homogeneity (One Nigeria) is one of the main reasons this country will not progress.

To an average Nigerian, everything is competition....

These people always coming up with ideas to cause tribal divide. As if they have done anything to improve education generally.

Ebira and Nupe . The list not complete

It's called demographics data analysis, you can't just dismiss ethic and cultural heritage in a whiff of wokeness.

This is not about wokeness or any other nonsense like it, it’s about moving forward. You can’t reinvent the wheel or go back to the stone ages because your ancestors were there. No group of people ever developed being so fragmented in culture and so on as Africa.

Your headline is wrong, most educated, most brilliant, which one? Most educated should be by population and igbo can't be the first on that list, majority of them are in nWa market , and when you talk of children, No children is educated , they're in the process of getting educated, if you talk of brilliant, I can tell you the few fulani who go to school are most brilliant. You can only judge adult educated

Kudos to the Igbos here but these are children that may not go to school again because of petty trading Igbos are known for and which one be Edo tribe again?
Yorubas still have the highest number of Professors in Nigeria,so they are still the most educated.
They have 3 times the number of Professors Igbos
have.

Let the ethic war begin now

They can't subjugate their master. They can only deny for a while. Igbos to the world.

As I said, you can't dismiss ethnocultural heritage And the reality of diversity.

that's the point...

the different tribes in the eastern still have some form main power over the rest of Nigeria due to the crude oil..

igbos did not take advantage of their proximity to the crude oil and partner with the minorities and make the eastern region very rich, they instead chose to try and dominate others especially outside the eastern Nigeria...

You are deceiving yourself with this motor park statistics.

Igbos know themselves that many of their children within the age gap cannot read. SW is number 1 on the list . Yorubas are crazy about education unlike in the SE where many Igbos will not come to school because it is Eke or Orie market day!

oh! so ojukwu was a white man? I didn't know all these while 🤣🤣🤣 and na people wey them talk say dey intelligent be this 🤣🤣🤣

before the war, northern premier and western premier both sacked the VCs of the universities in their who were igbos.

northern and western premier were sacking igbos and replacing them with indigenes and this angered the igbos and wyte people took advantage of this and convinced the igbos to start a war and eventually led to the civil war which was fought with wyte people weapons and funded by wyte people...

why would a group of people ignore crude oil that made U:S:A rich in the 1800s and choose to start a war

colossus91:
Lol i absolutely disagree. Yes i
We igbos are very intelligent but the standard number of schools in the east can never match the omes in lagos for instance. Make we accept the one wey dem give us atleast!

See Fulani claiming Igbo.

Isn't Edo a State? How does it rank as an ethnic group?

Universities , Polytechnics and college of education

Yeye my village old woman dey cap pidgin like garri come yoruba village come see primary one drop out teacher dey communicate in Yoruba no be say them even dey street smart... You dey play with Edo?

No. You stated "it is crude oil that controls the country", so what did/does that have to do with the North?

How come the SS, where most of the crude is found, are not controlling the country, since " it is the crude oil controls the country"?

Macphenson:
Why always Igbos?
Even the quality of education is 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.

So why are they finding it difficult to write their names and amount in words on receipt ? Or are they talking about pidgin or local language? They should take statistics from public schools and not private schools to know the correct answer.

Boss, I'm pretty sure you're feeling kinky about the stats shown. I lived in SE for long enough to know the results don't tell what's on ground!!
I don't know if attending school means educated...if na so, then stats may be right

victoryenergy:
Ibibios are the fourth largest tribe in Nigeria, but so many Nigerians won't agree.

Are you sure they're more than the Fulani? Tiv? Igala? Ijaw?

You just confirmed my questioning

I can tell you categorically that as long as you are stuck in what you called ethnocultural heritage whatever, you ain’t going anywhere…yesterday it was about some people who subtly wanted adire and Ankara for NYSC, tomorrow it would be something else.

They are the ones whose crude oil is used to fund daily operations of all 36 states in Nigeria so they indirectly "still have some form main power over the rest of Nigeria "

for Nigeria to go anywhere, every tribe has to invest in their states of origin.

Nigeria cannot progress equally, some ethnic nations will be more advanced than others because their own people re-invest into their ethnic nations within Nigeria.
Nigeria cannot progress until all ethnic nations within Nigeria develop their own ethnic territory.

They will soon come to discredit this statistics.
Bitter hateful beings

they will say those children are able to read because of miracle centers
