OnReflection: your bitterness is incurable. what's the big deal about celebrating an article that silences the scientific racism of whites? is it because IGBOS are the main case study being used to counter the white racists about blacks? your bitterness won't change a thing...am sorry for your blood pressure. 10 Likes |

OnReflection: Lol. These folks are even terrible at chest-beating...they labelled themselves as the most brilliant African race based on a flawed stat, despite Luganda speakers from Uganda topping the stat they provided. What the stat did was to show the improvements made since 2009 in the inner city schools (public schools), and that's evident in how the Yoruba kids went from 39% pass to 75% within two years, since most of the Yorubas in Lambeth live in the most disadvantaged areas (Brixton, Stockwell, and Kennington) - while the few Igbos in the borough live in better areas like Streatham, and Clapham - and they mostly attend Catholic schools. It's also evident in the performance of Ghanaian kids since there's a huge Ghanaian population in Streatham. It's just common sense and nothing to brag about. I guess it's safe to say that Ugandans are more intelligent than Nigerians - bwahahaha. I'd wager that they'll disagree with that, but that's what's on the stat they're touting for vacuous academic supremacy. Anyway, I want to see the stat for Tottenham, since there's a huge population of Igbos there. 1 Like |

Shymm3x: I'm an Igbo man and did my A levels and university stuff in the UK. So don't try to concoct stories here. The Yorubas in my class were always below my fellow Igbos intelligence-wise. Now getting back to the Lugandan issue, the Igbos performed better on average than the Lugandans. Igbos at some point, even scored a perfect 100%, which is a landmark the Lugandans have never achieved. With regards to the Yoruba scores, it only shows that the best score of the Yorubas is not even as high as the worst score of the Igbos. That is yet another story that needs further investigation. How come the best that the Yoruba can muster still falls short of the worst the Igbos can get? 11 Likes |

Take it or leave it, the igbo free-spirit and culture push them to be successful in all aspect of life has always been the driving tool to their success in life. They've always learnt to be forward thinkers and how to manipulate through obstacles to be successful. An average igboman doesn't want to be seen as a failure nor as a never-do-well. That's why he'll stay away from his family members to try and make it before returning home. Igbos are always driven by the passion to be on top and never be ruled over. That's a sound characteristic of a high-IQ'ed person. People with high intelligence do not like to be ruled over, they love their freedom and always show it everywhere. Igbos have never thought of yoruba as competition. They have never thought for once a yoruba man will outsmart them in any endeavour. That's the truth. Igbos were born to think they're superior humans. That has always made them stand out anywhere they're. When I was in primary school in the mid-90s, we had our classes from A - E, the guys that were topping the whole classes were igbos. This is not a false info. I can't start mentioning their names here, this is to show you how much the igbos compete with the yorubas in their own turf and their own educational system. In 2013, the best FUTA student was an igbo guy. So, what are we saying? There are many more records igbos still managed to drag with your yoruba brothers in the west. Your records are non-existent in the east. The igbos come to your place to drag university education with you. They top you in post-ume scores and you're forced to manage poly-technics and college of education(not that its bad). Check Unilag for instance, we can boast of 30% igbo population. Come to unizik, you can't even dare apply for the school because 1st, you think you can't match up with the competition. Igbo race still leads you and will continue to lead you. Its a cultural thing and not something you just start. Your culture affords you relax and do nothing. But the igbo culture doesn't. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

OfoIgbo: Where did you do ya A levels and which Uni did you finish from? From my own experience Yoruba and Bini folks are the smartest Nigerians I know - from nursery, to University level. The perfect score was based on how many students, what part of Lambeth council, and what type of school did they attend? Did they attend inner city schools or catholic schools? You don't expect a kid who attended Stockwell Manor (park) School where you have to dodge road mans and gang wars - to outperform someone who attended Bishop Thomas Grant School for example. Have you bothered to check where folks from the two groups mostly reside in Lambeth council and catchment areas for schools? |

SonOfEl: Hatred and bitterness for Igbos? Au contraire, nothing could be further from the truth. What I do loathe, however, is any inherent bias which makes the truth malleable. When an Igbo Professor who claims to have discovered the cure for aids, thereby exposing UNIBEN to ridicule, gets called out - it has to be 'hatred and bitterness'. When Emeagwali's exaggerated falsehood gets torn to shreds, it also has to be 'hatred and bitterness'. If it hurts so much to have certain unproven claims and unearned accolades dismissed by objective commentators, then keep them to yourself. I am not here to massage egos and cajole those who so easily default to a state of unreason. I call things as I see them. 1 Like |

Shymm3x: I won't even begrudge the Igbo, the Lugandans, the Krios, or any other group for their well earned achievements. The problem here is not the limited report itself, which is perfectly clear on the results it advances, but with reprobates whose stock-in-trade is ethnic jingoism. |

OnReflection: @ excerpt in bold - that's the crux of the matter, and it's problematic. The jingoism defeated the purpose of the stat and the radical improvements being made in inner city schools. And rather than focus on what the government is doing to bridge the gap between disadvantaged ethnic minorities, in messed up catchment areas - where the schools used to be utterly terrible - and folks from better areas with access to better schools, these folks are using it as a premise for ethnic supremacy and that's troubling. I'm not even defending Yorubas here - I did the same on a next thread in the family section a few weeks ago when folks were posting ridiculous stats to show that black African kids in the UK are superior to Caribbean kids, without considering a lot of factors. At the end of the day, black folks are still at the bottom of the totem pole of everything and a lot of factors play into that. |

Shymm3x: Exactimo Shymm3x. From playing up some synergy with the people of Israel, to ideas about keeping the bloodline pure, this thread has featured some of the most invidious arguments I have read in a long time. Now if such bigoted rants were merely confined to a small section of NL, perhaps one could overlook them altogether. Problem is; they are not!

OnReflection: man with all the long epistle you have written on almost all page just goes to prove how envious you are of the IGBO people success, why didn't you spend much time disapproving that (result)of the Chinese, indians or the other African people who a lot better than your tribe the luganda but you find it so convenient challenging our own report because it put the igbos ahead of you lads. This is not about chest pumping or beating or what ever you call it, but its clear to all unbiased mind that the igbos are far superior being in Nigeria to any other tribe, that's why there so much envy in any part of Nigeria the igbos settle. please don't hang your self on a report that took thousands of man hour resarch to come to an unfortunate conclusion that proves what we already know in Nigeria to be true that Igbo are the best in everything the lay there hand on. 8 Likes 1 Share |

OnReflection: Sir, I'm sorry I had to stray a bit to get in my MythBuster mode - just to expose the lies. A lie travels far and wide before the truth, and it's always better to castrate it, before it develops wings. I'm not really a fan of ethnic jingoism - I learnt that habit on this forum, due to how annoying these folks can get sometimes. Just a service to humanity. That said - I believe these folks suffer from a bad combo of lack of exposure and post traumatic stress disorder, hence the need to always blow a non-existent trumpet and an urge to always align with the most racist country on the planet, in Israel. I've never seen a group, especially among black folks, who lack self-pride like these folks. I guess it has to do with being empty - and like they say: an empty barrel makes the loudest noise. I just don't understand these folks...trying to decipher their mentality is like trying to find the lost Kingdom of Atlantis. An exercise in futility. 1 Like |

Shymm3x:Igbos stink up the place? And who dosen't stink up the place? yorubas, the ancient binis? You must be living in the time of the oyo kingdom. The yorubas in Nigeria cannot even lay claim to any educational advantage over the igbos in Nigeria let alone the diaspora. Every igbo state consistently outperform its yoruba conterpart in educational enrollment in Nigeria. The unity school cut-offs which is relatively a measure of relative IQ has the igbo states leading. The presidential post -graduate scholarship schemes for first class students has igbos adequately over-represented. Choke on your past glory of the 19th century, that is all you have. 10 Likes |
