Good Observation!

igwebuike01:

Five SE state states among the top ten. They had to stretch it to 12 so that more SW states can enter

Dey console yourself!

lawani:
By waec reg stats of 2019, SW is two times the SE in population if we assume the population of children is proportional to the total population
In 2021 it shows SW being 2.1 times the SE.
By out of school children, it shows the SW to be around 2.9 times of the SE in population
If you check the enrolment by gender in waec results as published, you will notice that more Igbo girls sit for the exam than Igbo boys and the difference is significant. It is the opposite in Hausa land. So that explains some of the out of school kids in the East. However the only state in the south classified as ELDS is Ebonyi state Educationally less developed State but Ebonyi may be comparable to Ekiti or less in effect. Some of the kids missing in action in the east are obviously apprentices in the west and north. So they add to the number in the west but the total number of Igbo masters in the west with apprentice might be maybe two hundred thousand who have uneducated kids under them if up to that, so the addition to SW underage kids by SE people may be a maximum of 100k if up to that and there will be some sw kids in the east as well but it does not reflect in the waec enrollment by gender table published by waec since the ratio of boys to girls registering in the SW is like one to one. Therefore since a report suggests sw is 2.1 times of the SE and another suggests 2.9 and we know that some SE kids are missing there then we can say the SW is around 2.5 to 2.8 times of the SE in population and on a per Capita basis the SE may be said to now be more serious with education than the SW but by only a bit because 2.8 times of 390k is not up to 1.19 million. Even in Ilesa now there are kids who don't go to school not to talk of other places. It can be explained by saying whatever is affecting the Muslim north is also bound to affect the Yoruba to a certain extent but that is no excuse. However no SW state or any southern state at all is classified alongside Ebonyi as ELDS.
Conclusion
A higher percentage of Igbo boys than Yoruba boys are not going to school
A higher percentage of Yoruba children in general than Igbo children are not going to school
The population of the SW is anything from 2.5 to 3 times that of the SE and the level of education is more or less at par.

Totally agree with u! The Igboman’s regret is the PARADISE LOST in Biafra’s non-survival as an independent nation. China, the most consequential nation in 21st century, would be racing to catch up with Biafra.

Racoon:
This is even with the sit-@-home wahala though not an acceptable trend. Despite all the self-created and inflicted problems of the Nigerian state against the SE region( including the over exaggerated insecurity situation), the region is still responsible for the most nerve-wrecking outstanding academic feats ever broken by any ethnic group in this nation.

This is a region whose entire land was blown to smithereens in a self hate genocidal war. Yet the protegees of their forefathers rose from the ashes to dominate the Nigerian education, commerce, transportation, health, occupying high politico-military positions in the US, UK, Canada and other nations across the world.

And what has happened to the contraption they foisted on us with a fraudulent constitution? This is 63 yesrs of failed Nationhood with no light under the tunnel or in sight. The fraudulent 2023 election really exposed the Nigerian state hatred for alaigbo. Now the rest of history.

It is a monumental blessing being a SE. It is a blessing being from alaigbo. Ala nkea Chineke goziri agozi. Ebe ndi ma Ihe. Chineke ga na zaputa ummuneya. Abeg umunnem, toonu Chineke anyi. Proudly onye dot. Udo di. Peace!

Totally agree with u!

mrvitalis:

Lol after subsidy removal? Lmaooo APC propaganda

We are paying more subsidy now than we have ever paid... And we are also paying more for petrol now than we have ever paid

Divide those allocation by the exchange rate the u know states are getting far less

For the unfortunate people quoting me to talk rubbish here it is

Nigeria sells crude and earns in dollars that the bulk of revenue

This dollar was sold at official rate to Cbn thats 450 per dollar

Now naira has devalued official rate is 1500 which is over 3 times the previous rate.. Plus we supposedly stopped playing over 1 trillion per month in subsidy

So the revenue should be 3 to 4 times the figures before may 29ths if we actually removed subsidy

It's not rocket science

Totally agree with u!

SUPERPACK:
Don't mind them. They will count all south south appointments as igbos to spite the igbos. But when Ipob claims that south south is part of igboland they will all start saying it is not. That they are Niger Delta

Ha ha!

Ofunaofu:
After just nine months in office, the Tinubu regime is already becoming the most corrupt government in the history of this country. 

Awesome!

ojasweb:
In 2014, i joined Fiverr to work as a freelance blog post writer, and after some months, i decided to switch to Google ads manager since at the time, Google ads manager are very few on Fiverr.

Within a few days of creating my Google ads gig on Fiverr, i got my first order from someone in Canada.

Luckily enough for me, this person has never used Google ads before at the time, so he doesn't have much expectations.

He wanted to give it a try to know if it will be profitable for him to continue using it.

He proceeded by creating his AdWords account and submitted the details for me to start the work.

I got everything setup within some minutes and the ads started running that same day.

Within a week, the client started seeing some patronage in his physical store in Manitoba, Canada. By the way, he owns a computer repairs business and looking for more patronage.

With the improvement in patronage as reported by the client, i feel much relieved and develop even stronger interest in mastering Google ads.

How market today?

Sirniyeh:

...
When we talk of intelligence, Yoruba people are to be reckon with in this Nigeria. Yoruba Intelligence superceeds all other ethnic groups. The succeess ascribed to Gowon was influenced by Awo.
Gowon was a young boy of 29, even single when became head of state but had lots of achievements.
Many of you witnessed the prudence of OBJ in ruling Nigeria. Compare to GEJ now.......all na story!
For this reason western region is more developed than any other region. Without yorubas, there cant be Nigeria because the economic power of the nation is in the hand of yoruba.
Igbos are just followers and GEJ happens to be a disgrace to them all

Ha ha!

Ashleydolls:
What is this one saying? If possible, do you think we'll want to be recognized with your tribe? You people are a big disgrace to Nigeria in the international face. Nigeria was declared 4th most dangerous place to live in all because of the animalistic behavior of your people ranging from boko haram to fulani herdsmen. Better get a life and stop spitting thrash.

You hit the nail on the head!

kettykin:
Those same troops that stopped biafra at ore did little or nothing besides shedding tears when it mattered most, when the field Marshall of yoruba land, the Aare ona kakanfo ,Obasanjo, Oladipo Diya, and other yoruba generals were hounded, arrested like teenagers ,condemned to death by hanging and kept in custody.

The comments here by some people show a one sided and pathetic reasoning where the same people who are yoruba first before becoming nigeria now choose to die for nigeria first and do nothing for the yoruba race

OLODO RABATA! U death with Biafrans fighting for liberation from Fulani-enslaved One Nigeria instead of dealing with Arewa North to free Yoruba from this fraud called One Nigeria. No sense at all!

The Yoruba solders were the headache of the Biafran solders during the civil war, we dealt with them so much they were defeated on all front led by Yoruba solders.

It is understandable they hate us so much knowing the Yorubas are more tactical and efficient when it comes to action

Read the Captain Iluyomade's interview and u will realize that Yorubas are indeed COWARDS

https://thenationonlineng.net/we-were-least-prepared-for-war-when-biafran-soldiers-attacked-my-command-in-ore-major-iluyomade/

nobaga:
Twist it anyway you want. Which Yoruba were in position or put in the position to command troops as Diya explained?

Ask Ironsi how powerless he was and what happened to him after Igbo coup, when he left Danjuma in charge of his security.

Only a fool without troops would even try or plan a couple.

When Black Scorpion Adekunle was left in charge of troops what happened?

When Obasanjo was left in charge of troops what happened?

When Captain Iluyomade was left in charge of a few soldiers in Ore, he form rag-tag soldiers from hunters and any volunteers to wipe our battalions of Biafran Army.

Underestimate Yoruba tolerance and accommodation at your own peril.

OLODO RABATA!

How did Ojukwu & Kanu abandon their Igbo people?

Raf4:


But the only known cowards in the history of Nigeria are odumegwu Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu (both ndigbos) who abandoned their Igbo people and ran away from the war front. Can you mention a single Yoruba male or female who ever displayed these attributes?

And how did he end?

ElSudani:


Yoruba people are not made for war except his name was Benjamin Adekunle. The only meaningful expedition of the Biafrans was led by a Yoruba man, Victor Banjo.

Peter Obi is a billionaire and is not affected by the hunger in Nigeria. The real losers are the IDIOTS who voted for APC in the last 8 years and lamenting. Una no get sense!

BlowYourMind:
Losing election can be devastating, Peter girigory Obi people are still aggressive, grieving and mourning the shameful defeat of Peter obi

I disagree!

Strafudeen:
A good man who played a bad role.
Wasted space.

Expected to have a better time to make impact , and lost the actual time God gave him to make impact.

I wish you enough time for reflection on your contributions to the present trouble your nation is facing.

Nonetheless, happy birthday sir.

I remember they called us WAILING WAILERS

michlins:
When many were shouting,folks called them wailers and suffering from effects of loss of the election.


Truth is coming out and we don't yet have idea the insane amount of damage APC and Buhari has put Nigeria into.


I wish Tinubu all the best cause he needs it if Nigeria is going to survive. Nigerians look up to you Mr President

Igbos will never rule Nigeria & Obi will never be president

MasterJayJay:
If Obi talks about how insecurity is affecting the price of food, the vultures of Tinubulation will gather to insult him.

gidgiddy:
Barth Nnaji, the proponent of Geometric Power, Aba, has revealed why he resigned as Minister of power during the Jonathan administration. Speaking to BBC Igbo, Nnaji said he resigned over what happened during the privatisation process. According to him, he had insisted that all DISCOS must have two things, technical expertise and financial independence to operate, so as to weed out those who wanted to use Privatisation to make quick money. However, enormous pressure was put on him to change this policy and he could see that harm might be done to him if he didn't, so he resigned. He regretted that after he left, many of the DISCOS eventually failed due to lack of technical expertise, and the banks they borrowed money from took over the assets

When asked if he was once offered a bribe of a Prado Jeep, Bart Nnaji laughed and said that he had already invested 500 million Dollars in Geometrics before he became Minister and that if he wanted to buy 100 Prado Jeeps today, he could do it.

He also said that Geometric Power was initially supposed to start in 2013 but court battles delayed the Project by 10 years. He also revealed that unlike other Power companies, the power generated by Geometric power would not go to the national grid, but go to Aba and 9 other local governments in Abia state as a start.

Eastern Nigeria- A Lost Paradise!

Nigeriabiafra80:

OLODO RABATA!
Q1) When did the war start?
Q2) when did Ojukwu march into Yorubaland?
Q3) Was Yorubaland of 1967 an independent country or part & parcel of Nigeria?

OPCNAIRALAND:


Awolowo was not pro-any side. He was fair and neutral.
What changed was Ojukwu marching boots and guns into Yorubaland. That's a no-no for Awo! That's when Yorubas launched assault towards Iboland.

Too late!

hmm, this must be a dirty secret...

A minister making recommendation to the panel.

quote author=sheyguy post=9644791]
if there were any left why didn't the ibos come out with evidence like AWO requested ? ? ? They culd av kept them as evidence of injustice but . . . . . .
Ur point even sounds weaker when we consider the fact that AWO did not make recommendations to the panel that came up with the 20 pounds policy.
Like i said earlier ibo will still look for excuses. Too bad

YES O!

The father of resource control. Great man

Gbam!

gidgiddy:


Of course Ironsi could have used decree to change resource control like Gowon later did, but Ironsi did not. What is important to note is that the 4 Regions Ironsi met when he came in were still there when he died

Also is the fact that Ironsi did not tamper with the revenue sharing formular and fiscal arrangements agreed at independence

A lot of people like to trumpet "unification deceee" but the only thing the decree unified was the civil service

Nigeria is on a death spiral!

sarrki:


Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and human rights activist, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has told President Muhammadu Buhari to divide the country into eight regional structures.

Agbakoba, one of the greatest heroes of democracy in Nigeria, noted that there are so many unclear issues in Nigeria about how people of the country want to organize themselves and how they want to live together.


The senior lawyer told reporters at the weekend that insecurity and other serious issues facing the country “can’t [be] fully arrested,” if the central government remains so strong as it is now.

He added that, “This is because community policing or state policing is a tactical tool to deal with the problem, but the strategic tool is the bigger question of the national question.

“There are so many unclear issues in Nigeria about how we want to organize ourselves, how we want to live together, this is what some people have called the restructuring question, some call it the national question, but I call it devolution of powers question.


“Whatever it’s called that is the central issue that needs resolution so that even if you use tactical tools like community policing, but the bigger issue remains then I don’t know if we can resolve it.

“What Nigeria needs is space, there are diverse ethnicities and they are living in such close proximity that one ethnic community is in the face of the other with counter-cultures, counter-religious beliefs and that is not healthy. Even in America in spite of all their advanced democracy, they take care of diversities.

“So, I think if I were to advise the president, for instance, the first thing to do is create space…,identify the ethnic regionalities, create eight big blocs, even though we have 6 to make it 8.


“And then I will give them the power to do things at their own local level, it’s called the principle of subsidiarity; let them work at their own local level. Subsidiarity is where people engage themselves at the local level such that you find in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England.

“Part of the challenge they had when they were living closely was to create an act of settlement of 1705, that was when peace began to come and each of the regions recognized themselves.

“They all had their own prime ministers and they call them first ministers, so the prime minister of the UK is the one we see internationally, but on local matters like school, refuse collection, education, agriculture, employment, health issues, it’s local.



“So, imagine where eight of the regional structures in Nigeria were fending for themselves at their local level and not depending on federal allocation from Abuja, things will be different.

“Immediately they will take control of what is around them, they will create state police, they will create the relevant security apparatus to deal with any threat, therefore, you don’t need one Chief of Army Staff, and they don’t need one Inspector General of Police to be running around entire Nigeria.

“For instance…say in the South-south region, they will have all the relevant apparatuses to deal with whatever situation that they need to survive as a region.



“They could have courts; they might like to have a Supreme Court of the South-south where cases end in the Supreme Court of the South-south, so they do not have to go to the Supreme Court of Nigeria because the Supreme Court of Nigeria has no business dealing with issues arising from there.

“That is the kind of space I think that should be paramount in the issue concerning where Nigeria is heading to.

“Because that discussion is not on the table, all these ethnic issues flare up as major national insecurity challenge. So, that is what I will do or suggest if I had the opportunity to advise on it. The Federal Government is too strong.



“The Federal Government is actually not a Federal Government, ours is a unitary government because the states have no power on the legislative list so there are 68 items on the Exclusive List and as the name implies in Exclusive List only the Federal Government handles it.

“There is 30 on the Concurrent List, concurrent is between the federal and the state to legislate, but if the Federal Government legislates then pursuant to what is called the doctrine of covering the field the state is not allowed to do anything. In other words, the states have no legislative authority, that creates a problem.

“Why should the Federal Government be dealing with Universal Basic Education for primary schools? What is the Federal Government responsibility with that? I don’t understand.



“What is the Federal Government responsibility with setting up a JAMB process so that you equalize educational activities, but if my grandchild from Anambra scores 282, but my friend’s grandson from Zamfara scores 100, my friend’s grandson gets into the university, but my own does not get in. Why don’t you simply say ….look each region can just organize itself and take your examination?

“So, it is this centrifugal federalism, that means federalism that has a pyramid that has only one leader that is our problem.

“We just have to blast the structures and allow regional leaders as we had under the 1960 Constitution. So, when you have regional leaders you will have people who will like to play regional politics or regional law.

“There is no reason, for instance, in my own profession the eight regions I propose should not be awarding SAN to their best lawyers. Why must it only be Abuja? In the UK, the SAN in England is different from the SAN in Scotland.

“So, the formula that worked for Nigeria was to recognize the differences and I think the best example of the agreements that we can apply is the Aburi Accord.

“The Aburi Accord recognized that Nigeria’s problems were as a result of our diversity not being well managed. We need to manage our diversity that is the way we can move forward
