who told you that you are the most educated tribe in naija? I respect yorubas and have them as friends too, but am always careful with them, cos always buy ontop ur head.
they are, cuz they Brought education to Nigeria, abd the best university in Nigeria is even in the West (oau).. Don't get me wrong, igbos too are very educated and might even surpass the yorubas in terms of education. .. bt for now, it's the yorubas.... The igbos are better in creativity and entrepreneurship.. I'm not supporting one against the other or being tribalistic... . We need each other #

Keep deceiving yourself. You made an inflammatory statement, you got served and you are claiming you were tryna prove a point. The word "Many" is offensive and highly dubious.

Next time, know your intentions before posting. And retain the 60% of your igbo friends, they will be handy throughout your lifespan on this beautiful earth.
Hi Ugly Betty, caracta doesn't get served.

Engage me in a reasonable conversation when you get your brain from where you kept it. Till then...toddlescheesy

Yw...60% wao! U sure live up to your moniker..lol. Yes u are absolutely right. The change is about us. We always put tribe and religion before reason. Nigerians are actually good people but the division on so many lines is hindering our collective progress as a Nation. One thing iv discovered by association is that we are basically the same (talking of the average Nigerian). I have friends from evry part of the country and we relate very well despite our ethnic and religious differences. Formal Education and exposure should equip us to let go of whatever happened in the past and learn to accept each other as man and woman first before colour, race, religion and other distractions set in.

Caracta, u r very reasonable and u r not afraid to speak ur mind. Invaluable traits.
Quit patronizing her bro, she erred in her first post, though she is entitled to her opinion which I believe if spoken constructively won't arouse bitter reactions

This is not entirely false. Many people from Anambra are uneducated, illiterate traders who have no desire for education or acquiring knowledge, a rather disgraceful state of play.
The op didnt say all Igbos are educated. Every society has 'many' uneducated pple.

It's really unnecessary just as I pointed out. When people say good or bad things about me or my tribe...they must definitely have a reason. I try to find out the reason and also find a way to get better. That's how life should be rather than judge and crucify them. Everybody cannot like you or your tribe or your religion or your social values. We are where we are today because we place priorities on petty and irrelevant things.
Your life is petty and irrelevant cos everything is petty and irrelevant..

If someone didn't play with petty and irrelevant things the advancement you see in the 21st century wouldn't have happened..

Constructively? Hmmmm. Good one.

Do you mind helping out since you were a part of my experience?

If I am entitled to my opinion, why are you pained? Did you see me call you names over your own comment?...that's because you are entitled to it. Common sense!

Now stop interrupting my blushing session!

statistics over the years has proven that we are ahead of your people educationally, just ask waec,jamb etc not that retrogressive opon imo that made oshun shildren took 24th position in waec, Imagine people that star

ted allover in 1970 after the so called uncivil war are ahead of you, Imagine a yorlluba man or woman saying that Igbos are dirty? shaking my head for you.
Truth is bitter. besides, I don't need you to agree with me. moreover I remember helping one of your brother to write his name. are you surprise? I am too. ability to speak pidgin English does not guarantee that the person passed through the 4 walls

Medicine after death.

Like I said, personal experiences...many, not few. It happened today sef, I lost out because I wasn't recognized as 'our sister'. The man didn't even mince words when he told me I wasn't igbo...he thought I was one initially probably because of my friends. Even on NL...oh the pure undiluted hate.

Annoying because, it's totally unnecessary and un-called for. Luther said don't judge people by the colour of their skin, I say we shouldn't judge people by their roots.

Nuff said.

I'm sleepy. You guys have bored me to sleep sad

Now that's annoying. tongue

Big fat lie
kslay28:
YORUBA'S are the most triabalistic human beings on planet earth. In 2013 i was employed in a multinational company at Ikeja by a South African expatriate. Due to my academic background, I wyas placed on the rank of a PM (Process Manager). i was the only Igbo in the mist of over 11 Yoruba people on the rank of a PM. I lost the job immediately the South African was transferred to Ibadan. My only 'interpreter' a yoruba IT student kept telling me the nasty things they were discussing about me. The Yoruba's really frustrated my life then ehnn.. even when i tried to be loyal and humble as a dove, they made sure i was kicked out and replaced by another Yoruba. But i hold no grudge against any ethnic group or human in Nigeria.

lol i don't have the strength to argue sir. ... Obviously you're being biarse.... Is it only waec and jamb statistics that can be used to judge the educational strength of both ethnic groups? And how many of them use their head pass? grin
