Trio of the greatest mathematicians of Nigerian descent:
.Professor Chike Obi
Prof Ezeilo
Prof Adegoke Olubummo

These are our world acclaimed mathematicians.
Igbo students do far better than other black immigrants abroad.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Igbos are officially the most brilliant blacks. Producing global personalities unparalleled by any Nigerian group
I rest my case.
To the clown wishing , everybody had the same IQ level, lol. Its not a coincidence Igbos fly with high cutoffs here , cutoffs that will suffocate every other tribe into oblivion; and over there abroad, come out tops more than others.

Deal with that. Case closed

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Misleading? No be scientists do my own analysis too? If Yoruba led in those IQ stuff, you wouldn't bring up your sell consolation link.
Let me even come up with more.

Aigbofa:
Advanced races everywhere did not have to eat each other at any point in their history, instead they built empires.
Hehehehe, they didn't have to fight armored tanks with cudgels either.

CANADA - BLACKBERRY

USA - IPHONE, CHEVROLET

CHINA - ELECTRONICS , TECHNOLOGY


AFRICA - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

NIGERIA/YORUBA-SOLO PHONE.

IBO - ?

YourNemesis:
By the coming Monday, yet another Ibo will come here and create another thread with this same useless topic...
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Okay if Igbos are what you claim they are, WHAT WERE THEIR AFRICAN ACHIEVEMENTS AS A PEOPLE ON THEIR OWN, IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT compared to other great African ethnic groups?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Groups like the famous Igbo tribe, which has contributed much genetically to the African American blacks, are well known to be high academic achievers within Nigeria. In fact, their performance seems to be at least as high as the “model minority” Chinese and Indians in the UK, as seen when some recent African immigrants are divided into languages spoken at home (which also indicates that these are not multigenerational descendants but children of recent immigrants).


Africans speaking Luganda and Krio did better than the Chinese students in 2011.
The igbo were even more impressive given their much bigger numbers (and their consistently high performance over the years, gaining a 100 percent pass rate in 2009!). The superior Igbo achievement on GCSEs is not new and has been noted in studies that came before the recent media discovery of African performance. A 2007 report on “case study” model schools in Lambeth also included a rare disclosure of specified Igbo performance (recorded as Ibo in the table below) and it confirms that Igbos have been performing exceptionally well for a long time (5 + A*-C GCSEs); in fact, it is difficult to find a time when they ever performed below British whites.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
I said it was woeful cos none of your points were true. Which history? You were never better than any group. Check your first unis, who were the first VCs? Most senior lecturers then were Igbos. Let's not open that page pls.

What of now, look at cutoffs, enrollment rates, The Millennium development goals across the geopolitical zones, performance of students.
Igbos take the lead in academics pls.

Did you say technology?
Only Igbo technologies and crafts are exported out of Nigeria as we speak , Aba made shoes, bags, belt, nnewi made spare parts, lubricants and even cars have passed the shores of Nigeria.
That is technology by indigent Nigerians .

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Yoruba never led anything anywhere in the continent and globally. In nigeria, yorubas only had GEOGRAPHICAL HEADSTART cos yorubaland is close to the seat of colonialists, lagos.

We are even talking of iq , igbos have been rated highest in the continent both from national and international sources. Even the national cutoff marks say a lot .Enrollment rate? Highest number of professors?
All the points you were trying to raise , albeit woefully, were of the past , I get am before no be property.
Overtaking is allowed.

enlightenedmind:
Your comment makes me ashamed to be African. Why would you proud that your people are getting married to the very people that murdered and enslaved your entire generation. And still continues to oppress u. Why would anyone in Africa today want to marry any white man. They are incapable of truth, only attracted by wealth and are only concerned with gathering wealth even if it means eradicating the entire human race. Morally deprived.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Baseless assumptions

OFFICIAL336:
But will prefer to dry a fellow human being. #RitualCapitalofAfrica

kettykings:
If only igbos can stop the dilution of their blood with tribes that hate them, they would be an unstoppable Race like the jews

InyinyaAgbaOku:
As far as IQ studies are concerned, Igbos trounce all Africans.
Yoruba's can never beat Igbos in anything good from academics to football.

Igbos, Most Brilliant Black Africa Race –US Report

A United States academic report for 2015 has suggested that the Igbo of South Eastern Nigeria are the most brilliant black Africa race.

According to the report: “a search through the promotional materials of school for a black student – all schools and colleges would always show some black faces in their promotional materials if they have any – reveals that they have had at least one black student, and it was, unsurprisingly, a Nigerian Igbo.”



This is just as two teenage Nigerian high school students, Harold Ekeh and Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, have broken a record of being accepted by eight Ivy League schools in the United States. Ekeh is a 17-year-old senior student at Elmont Memorial High School, Long Island while Uwamanzu- Nna is a high-school student from Long Island, New York. Schools within the Ivy League are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University.

However, the feat, according to two online news portals, NBC News and MSN, revealed that both teenagers are faced with “a big decision to make soon.” For instance, Ekeh was granted admission by 13 universities, including all the eight Ivy League schools.

The NBC News reported that Ekeh is faced with the dilemma of whittling down his college prospects, having applied to 13 colleges, with the hope to “maybe” get into Stony Brook University, about an hour east of his home in Elmont, Long Island.

But, in recent weeks, the cascade of reply letters started pouring in: Harvard. Yes. Yale. Yes. Princeton. Yes. Not only did he get accepted to all of the schools he applied to, those include all eight Ivy League institutions. Speaking with NBC News, Ekeh said: “It’s very, like, stunning.

It’s like getting hit with a brick, honestly. When you see congratulations, you’re like, wow your hard work has paid off, definitely.” The straight-A student has accomplished the rare feat of getting into all of the nation’s Ivy schools, crediting his parents’ work ethic for setting an example and a desire to strive in his adopted homeland after emigrating from Nigeria 10 years ago.

“I find that I’m very over-involved,” Ekeh said, counting advanced placement classes and extracurricular activities, such as science research, school plays and being editor-inchief of his school newspaper, as filling up his time. Ekeh, who scored a 2270 out of 2400 on his SATs, said: “I do have conflicts that maybe I’ll have this programme at the same time as I have another programme and so it’s hard to choose which one to be involved in.

I expected to maybe get into Stony Brook, a couple of other safeties, just based upon the SAT and the GPA, but I was still never certain of anything. There are so many variables taken into consideration in college admissions, so I was never certain of anything at any point.”

Ekeh, one of five brothers, said he wants to study biochemistry and become a neurosurgeon. He is inspired by his grandmother, who began showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s when he was 11. He wants to find a cure. “There are so many researchers working for Alzheimer’s disease right now and many neurogenic disorders that definitely a cure can be found soon,” he said.

As for where he is going to college, he isn’t quite sure, but would like to stay close to family. “I am leaning towards Columbia right now because I’d like to stay in New York City for I guess the rest of my career and work at Mt. Sinai,” Ekeh said, adding that America has given his family a life they might never have had in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Uwamanzu- Nna, who also had found herself in the same situation, told MSN News that she has a big decision to make soon. The Elmont High School valedictorian, who was accepted into all the eight Ivy League schools, also gained admission into Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University and Rensse
Polytechnic Institute.

Uwamanzu-Nna is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, who said her parents instilled in her the value of education. “Though I was born here in America, I visited Nigeria many times. And I’ve seen that my cousins don’t have the same opportunities that I have.

So, definitely, whatever I do, I want to make sure that it has an impact on Nigeria,” she said. She also said her own tenacity and persistence helped shape her into becoming a great student. But as with a lot of students, she did face hardships with some classes.

“I struggled with numerous classes in the past. But I guess what allowed me to be successful, ultimately, in those classes, is my persistence and my tenacity,” she said. Though Uwamanzu- Nna hasn’t decided on which college to attend, having scored a GPA of 101.6, and with a recent invitation to the White House Science Fair, reports indicated that there’s no doubt that she would continue her academic excellence.

The report that suggested the outstanding academic performance of the Igbo revealed that if only environmental factors were responsible for the different Intelligence Quotients (IQs) of different populations, the world may expect to find some countries where Africans had higher IQs than Europeans.

The report cited empirical backup using theories propounded by eminent scholars such as Richard Lynn, a British Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster and Arthur Jensen, who was a professor of educational psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.

The report’s findings also revealed that while the fact remains that black immigrants to the U.S have shown achievements that were superior to native black Americans, studies had also shown that it had been a phenomenon studied since the 1970s at the least.

Using Lynn theory, who was also an assistant editor of the controversial journal Mankind Quarterly, who is known for his views on racial, ethnic and national differences in intelligence, the report revealed that: “Failure to find a single country where this is the case points to the presence of a strong genetic factor.”

For Jensen, the report said: “Regression would explain why Black children born to high IQ, wealthy Black parents have test scores two to four points lower than do White children born to low IQ, poor White parents.” The report also stated that at first, it was just the Caribbean blacks who were a subject of this unexpected outcome.

As black Africans kept immigrating into the U.S, they showed even higher levels of achievement than the native blacks. Many scholars theorised on the reasons for these differences, from Thomas Sowell’s proposal that this disproved the validity of discrimination against native blacks as an explanation for their underachievement (Sowell, 1978), to other scholars who suggested that these immigrants were just the most highly driven members of their home countries as evidenced by their willingness to migrate to a foreign country (Butcher, 1990).

What most of these theories failed to predict was that the children of these immigrants would also show exceptional achievements, especially academically. It is only in recent years, as the immigrants have stayed long enough to produce a sufficiently high number of offspring, that it had been observed that they are over-represented among high academic achievers, especially when compared to native blacks, particularly at very elite institutions.

What has been missed in the IQ debate is the full logical implication of these achievements: they have effectively nullified any arguments for a racial evolutionary explanation of the well-known IQ test score gap between blacks and whites.

Even more fatal for the racial hereditarian side of the debate has been the corroborating data of school children performance in the UK, particularly when the black Africans are divided into their respective nationalities and tribal ethnicities.

Arthur Jensen gave at least two empirical tests that could potentially falsify his thesis of a race based genetic explanation for the black-white IQ gap.

You guys post pictures of the rural areas in Enugu and urban areas in Ibadan and then start comparing, it's a pity that your urban areas can only beat rural areas in Enugu. I live in Enugu and believe me, I haven't seen those brown roofs before. Any person that says Enugu is not fine is actually delusional or dying in tribal sentiments.

The Pics you are posting will make some Users deactivate their accounts or change their Monikers!

They couldn't believe what they are seeing.... and they are like; is this Lagos or Ibadan?! Seems the Poster is showing us the aerial view of Ikeja! But we are only used to seeing Old Structures! So Ibadan is beautiful like this?!

But I am seeing no brown Roofs in the Pictures?! Or do I need to wear my glasses?
