See wetin hatred don turn some people into.. if truly you’re educated the education should reflect in your way of life.. the same delusional set of people.. the ones who lack cultural diversity. The ill-informed ones without cultural norms and values.. the ones with lack of rules of engagement.. na wa o
Why must Igbos have cultural diversity when it's largely homogeneous? Do Yorubas have cultural diversity? Do Ibibios or Ijaws or Jukuns have cultural diversity? Why Igbos?

This is exactly reason particular tribe from South West hate great Igbos with passion because they are far behind great Igbos in all ramifications

The ultimate question is why is Fulani ( the second Lowest in the country ) the one controlling the government and the rest of the country ?
Because Fulani-loyal military dictators restructured Nigeria politically through proliferation of excess number of states and local government areas in Fulani-controlled northern region of Nigeria.

One northern region got 20 new federating units (states), while the two southern regions got only 17 new federating units (states).
A presidential candidate needs to win 25% of votes in 2/3 of the number of states in Nigeria, according to the constitution supervised by the same northern military dictators.

On independence day in 1960, three regions - north, east and West regions formed independent country, Nigeria.

Creation of states in Nigeria by northern military dictators is a HUGE FRAUD. Fortunately for the Fulani, most of the people in southern regions of Nigeria don't understand the enormity of the fraud, as the southerners wrongly believe that land mass or population figures is a yardstick used for creation of new federating units in a country formed by different regions.

Direct this your question to British that handed power to them after Independence or Yorubas that allows themselves to be used as willing tools and North Central that is conquered people okay

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.
Suddenly you don't need this beautiful Statistics because favours great Igbos as usual but if it's the one against Igbos you and your type will carry it for head.
You people have not seen anything cos the more you people hate great Igbos the more they excel

Yorubaaas? Lol. Whenever the people of the southeast ask for additional number of states merited, the Yoruba will say Niger State alone is larger than the area of all the states of the southeast added together. So, why should the people of the southeast ask for additional states? Ridiculous statement. They don't understand that land mass or population figures is not a yardstick to create new federating units like states or regions in a country formed by different regions. The states were proliferated in northern Nigeria to suck proceeds from crude oil to the north, as well as consign absolute Political power to the Fulani-led northern region.

5 Ijaw β€” 33%
6 Tiv β€” 19%
7 Hausa β€” 11%
8 Kanuri β€” 10%
9 Fulani β€” 6%
10 Other Ethnicities β€” 22%

Children from Igbo households recorded the highest level of foundational reading skills (58%), followed closely by Edo (57%) and Yoruba (51%). In contrast, Fulani (6%) and Kanuri (10%) children recorded the lowest levels.

NB: In the MICS module, foundational reading skills refer to the expected learning outcomes in basic reading and comprehension for children in Grades 2 and 3. These skills were assessed among children aged 7–14 years.

Trustyourself:
If you say "come", a Yoruba child won't understand unless you say "wa"

How come they even got up to 51%?
I wonder o. Yet, when you hear of Nigerians doing wonders academically all over the world they are often Yoruba.
Something is wrong with your 419 statistics.

Ideally that is what it should be. But even with that, there still will be divisions if we as a people don’t address the issue of what someone called β€œprimordial sentiments β€œ. There’s strength in number, that’s why Russia, china and USA are all world powers. And India, is coming up too.
Nope..

Those countries you mentioned have one thing in common... they invested heavily in Engineering and Medicine...

There's strength in the number of ENGINEERS and MEDICAL PERSONNEL a country has and spends it money on and appreciates..

There will always be divisions, but if we don't address investments in Engineering and Medicine.. it will continue to get worse..

There's NO strength in having a large number of OLODOS...

I am very sure that I am more Igbo than you, but that doesn’t make me a bigot or narrow minded. We are here talking about the advancement of our race, you are here talking about β€œtribe”. Go to Rivers state and count the number of ethnic groups there…and all these people are basically same , just separated by β€œcultures β€œ practiced by some ancestors that didn’t know better and handed down to them. Look down and read what a great son of Igbo land once said.

Upon all the sit at home. Nigerian man from Igbo Extraction is always best at anything they lay their hands. But the only issue is when they are done with Bsc, Msc and Phd Igbo enrolment is less compared to others ethnicity. Not Evidence based though

Statisense is a road side pseudo organization without credentials.
Since you rely on them, ask them to show the source of the data - the raw data and let others perform statistical analysis on the data.

Statisense is not a credible source of statistical analysis.

yoruba 60m, edo 2-3m. Stats does not always tell the full story
But a sample of 200 Yoruba and 200 Edo kids in similar socio-economic circumstances, should be broadly representative. Irrespective of overall population of each ethnicity.
You can compare health indices, poverty, GNI per capita and others in tiny Andora or Monaco to massive India or China. There are reliable statistical tools to use.

However, if you were to sample a mix of Ekiti and Ondo state kids, it would be quite close to Edo/Igbo figure. I know this because I know both areas (Edo and Ondo) very well from experience.
Many of us knew this decades ago. But politics and tribalism muddy everything in 9ja.

By the way, Edo is about 5.25 to 6 million.

I guesa you live in Lagos....that could have informed your fallacy of generalization

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!

codemaniacs:
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 warhuh
the coup carried out by igbos against the northern people, and then installing Ironsi, where he started promoting igbos to higher ranks in the army, promoting igbos in other sectors while demoting notherners and yorubas, why didnt you mentioned them? You didn't mentioned all the injustice committed by igbos against the northern people that instigated the civil war, you think we don't know? Abegi
Re: The Most Educated Children In Nigeria By Ethnicity - StatiSense by Skj13777: 6:55am On Jul 04
This statistics is idiotic. Edo is 1 state besides Ibo consists of more than 1 state and same as Yoruba . How then is it possible for Ibo to have highest percentages over edo. It is mathematically unlikely.
