If we decide to do little sample sizes of research of Nigerians who gain admission to or graduate from top ivy league schools by going a Google search, you will see Igbos always somehow top the list in numbers on average of academic records been broken in the USA. http://dawntodusknews.com/6-young-nigerians-enrolled-at-harvard-law-school-as-phdjd-students/ https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.pulse.ng/communities/student/academic-champions-3-nigerian-students-who-got-admission-offer-from-8-top/2kx5jcx.amp&ved=2ahUKEwi7v_zgnvLoAhWRrZ4KHcdHCsEQFjARegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw0JbaEPMs9Prv1PErXnIkX0&cf=1&cshid=1587222072368 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.informationng.com/2018/05/nigerian-first-class-student-who-became-a-lecturer-at-24-graduates-from-harvard-in-flying-colours-photos.html/amp&ved=2ahUKEwinvLSyn_LoAhUFsp4KHauEDpw4ChAWMAN6BAgJEAE&usg=AOvVaw38bbK0NY70THWfMpJLFKnU https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://thisisafrica.me/africans-rising/dehlia-umunna-first-nigerian-professor-at-harvard-law-school/&ved=2ahUKEwi_99TBn_LoAhVSrJ4KHdeIB1s4FBAWMAl6BAgEEAE&usg=AOvVaw2PMPu9ccRJNscXsWwif3Kb https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2016/05/nigerian-ikenna-uzoije-graduates-with.html.html&ved=2ahUKEwj7tYuXoPLoAhXPup4KHfYiBXY4ChAWMAB6BAgEEAE&usg=AOvVaw2ezJeHOygPPWxVSOe81YK9 https://www.aigmediapro.tv › nigeri...

LegendHero:You have to post it, also start getting all your facts in cue based on a complete study conducted (with a accessible infometric) to convince your gullible audience here beyond every reasonable doubt that Yorubas are way ahead of Igbos in the US colleges. And please post all the websites for the 4 schools you claimed to have checked for I'll have more people help in confirming it, then we can go from there. Dude if you are going to be half-assed about stats, you should remember we don't live in Nigeria where fake stats and oluwole data takes a center stage, you of all people inspite of yourself, should know the USA has a huge database of researchers that always do feasibility studies on these conversations, right? |

LegendHero: so you checked all those schools and all the Nigerian students in the space of how long? superman! Why not post the websites for those schools 4 schools and let EVERYONE present here do justice to it? And why are you streamlining your research for just 2018-19? other academic years nko? "Moreso it is stupidity to start compiling name for 5300 universities before reaching a conclusion" well in your own words smart ass, that's exactly the fucking point! that's too broad/many a number to just rely on "sample sizes" dude that's a VERY limited metric of data to draw any cognitively plausible conclusions that Yorubas trash Igbos hands down, I thought you are good with facts and figures? Why not give me some source, study, graph, chart... Anything showing Yorubas are ahead of Igbos, much less other Nigerians in the academic indices of the top schools in the USA (now that's a more credible data researched by actual statisticians and experts)... and NOT some "sample size" hogwash theory LegendHero pulled out of his ass. |

NigerianSage: You people can fool yourselves with falsehoods here, only a half-wit who stays thousand of miles away in Nigeria with no basic understanding of the academic structure here in the USA will believe some nonsense his brother told him based on a sample-sized data as opposed to an wholistic assessment. Knock yourselves out with your ethnic supremacy wars and achievements "built like castles in the air" innuendos, when someone intelligent and honest enough to engage me is ready to dig in and do the arduous work of fact-finding, then he should tag me in a separate thread. |

LegendHero:There's speculative evidence based on an educated guess and there's pure undiluted facts culled from a balanced and more logical research. We have over 5,300 colleges in the USA that offer hundreds of degree programs over various academic years, and you have the guts to sit there and tell me about some ridiculous statistics based on your self-addled "sample size" theory bullshit, like with your level of education and exposure, how more disingenuous could you get? WE JUST TOUCHED two schools in Atlanta (and we haven't even gotten the whole facts from all the programs and previous academic years) to conclude Yorubas beat the Igbos by an average... we haven't even touched the other schools in ATL YET... like how do you even sit with a straight face and just wrap up your conclusions on just an estimate? Egbon you be real scam, I'm currently in the Nursing program for my masters here in UC San Diego, and I can confidently tell you with no tinge of deceit or bias that I've seen more Igbos in the Nursing department here (at least from the admission list for 2019-20), closely followed by Yorubas. So is that enough for me to conclude there are more Igbo students in UC San Diego than Yorubas going by you inane logic? Ok Yorubas are the winners, you have 80% of the total numbers of thousands of Nigerian students across the US colleges( state universities, private, Hbcu, Ivy league, trade schools, community colleges) in the USA. I'm done here, indulge and self-service over yourselves. |

Just for the records there are 5,300 colleges in the USA... let that sink it, Nigerians are the most educated demography in the entire USA according to recent research, there's no ethnic breakdown available for these Nigerians in question as at yet, but logically we can conclude Igbos, Yorubas and other Southerners will dominate the list cause these ethnic groups are the largest immigrants in the USA. So how LegendHero came to his conclusions is not only indicting to facts, but it truncates and mocks the credibility and basis of making an ideal breakdown of Nigerian students across the USA with access to all the commencement and convocation records based on their ethnic groupings across the colleges in the USA. This clown just went through the graduate programs for Georgia state University for 2018-19 academic years for Fall to Spring semesters, saw more Yoruba names in the graduation lists, and then rushed to Nairaland to shoehorn his dumb brothers who just wanted to hear the "Yorubas beat Igbos hands down" announcement even with inconclusive facts from a huge collection of database yet untouched, I wish more US residents ( I don't even care about their ethnicity) on Nairaland who have lived long enough in the US and understand the academic structure here can come to these thread now to give a more balanced assessment of facts... LegendHero I'm truly disappointed in you bro, you're a fucking pathetic scam, and to think that I gave you some credit for been truthful and been all about the facts and not the sentiments? I'll have to get more US residents and students involved in these thread, what a waste of my time. 2 Likes |

LegendHero: So you deduced this from just two schools in the whole of Atlanta? , POST THE WHOLE STATS now, how many colleges are in Atlanta for starters dude? You have 85 colleges in ATL alone that have different programs, we haven't even checked out the Hbcu colleges that are abundantly present in ATL, we haven't even defined a full data from the Georgia Technical Institute and GSU metric of graduates from all the academic catalogs yet, we haven't use touched a quarter of all the schools in your state, needless to mention the entire colleges in the USA? How disingenuous and disgusting of you to conclude Yorubas top the Igbos, have we even analyzed the admission and graduation index of thousands of Nigerians enrolled across the US colleges, have we researched the Ivy league schools, trade schools, community colleges, grad schools, doctorate programs for all the available fields yet? LegendHero, if you are going to lie and conjure your own jaundiced/ridiculous facts devoid of any credible metrics, just to get your brothers to self-service themselves with the false delusions that Yorubas top Igbos in the academic indices here in the USA, then I'm done with these pointless thread, since in your own world of facts or lack thereof, you know better than rushing to some idiotic conclusions just to pander to some false narrative.

Ok I'm sure I'm not communicating with uneducated dunce here (hopefully). To compile a broad list of data on Nigerian students in a state alone in the USA (not even across the entire US states) is very HARD. For one the academic structure in the USA is far different from that of Nigeria where it might be relatively easier to access the biostatistics of students in various institutions. For Atlanta alone there are about 84 colleges and universities with different degree programs, and we haven't even scratched the surface yet cause we have to look through different academic years, degree programs, community College, trade schools, undergraduate, HBCU's, graduate, doctorate programs etc and then identify and streamline all the Nigerian names among hundreds of lists for each programs/academic years etc... Stuff like this will definitely take days to compile, and we are not even getting started yet. We never even touch other states, so there's ABSOLUTELY no way anyone will honestly conclude Yorubas beat Igbos in education across the United States colleges until a total bio-metric of Nigerian students in the US from a specific academic year till date is accurately defined, and then we can break down the ethnic groups based on the highest to lowest. I'm sure I'm not talking to illiterates (even LegendHero himself will know what I'm talking about here cause he stays in the USA). Meanwhile I'm back to rounding up my list for Georgia Institute of technology, will take half a day to preen all the names for the different academic years/programs. 1 Like |
