60% are Yoruba! Fact!

When you're on top of your "food-chain", who dem born well to challenge you?

Is there anything positively great in this nation not dominated by the Yorubas?

DamnnNiggarr:
Damn Niggarr!

I don't know much about Igbo but I asked my girl she said that Igbo doesn't have Nwando as surname.

She also said its an all girl's name and doesn't even come close to being a surname.

She said the name is peculiar to Anambra people.

But then, I know about that Dr Nwando even before now.

ugotex85:
Stop being childish. 5 out 10 of them are Yoruba, one is an Igbo married to a Yoruba. [s]So it's a 50-50 between Igbos and Yorubas[/s]. But why evoking the tribal sentiments?

Davash222:
Are there no medical practitioners in the North? Are they restricted from practising in US? Or is it Haram to practise in US Asking for my neighbor, sha.

Though from the image you posted,
Her name is Nwando and her surname is Achebe as in Chinua Achebe.

She may be Chinua Achebe's relative or possibly his daughter.

There are local champions that if these were to come by appointments rather than merit you do only be seeing the Abubakar's and Mohammeds on that list.
Rather than allow the brilliant minds this country is blessed with to take the lead in powering her to greatness they block the way by standing at the front and leading nowhere. Insisting power belongs to them.
Their born to rule and entitlement mentality has remained the bane of our development.
