the Igbos are giving them a sleepless night.. Shameless commodity of no marketable value like you should just go and hug the transformer.. IGBOS- we are indeed A GREAT TRIBE.

Illiterate bonobo stuck in a village, hopefully, when you get ya Biafra, folks will be allowed to comment without you insecure and sensitive fvckers catching feelings about everything with more drama than a prima donna.

If you're indeed "great" you definitely won't have to blow ya trumpet everywhere crying about everything just to get noticed like folks with attention deficit syndrome.

Just get the phuck out of my face, obnoxious turd.

Its unfortunate that certain ethnic groups in Naija believe that they represent d best
brains
of the country esp the ones from the SE. If anyplace even d pit of hell looks more comfortable to you than
ur country of origin, then u have no option other than to survive by developing your adopted country. In an attempt to develop and survive, hardened members of the lot are left to do it either for good or bad- in most cases my brethren resort to doing it d hard way, earning d country a bad image in d eyes of d world. Nigerians are d most hated and scorned in d world because of d activities of these limited few who are predominantly from that extraction. The few that are celebrated tday that are making waves abroad have equal match in brilliant Nigerians that chose to stay here and could be plucked from across d breadth and width of the country in all the nooks and cranies of this great country (hausas, Yorubas and igbos) plus including other tribes as well.

Lool. Just letting you revel in ya grandiose delusions.

If I were to post a comprehensive list of mediocre Nigerian academics in the West - ya folks won't even make 20% of the list.

And on a list of distinguished ones, ya folks won't make 10% of the list.

Anyone who's familiar with Nigerian academics in diaspora won't even dare argue that.

But I don't have time for time wasters.

Damn these self acclaimed Jews!!! Lots of them in my set got scholarship to study in Poland, but they refused to go to classes. They were claiming they came to Europe to make money. Dumbasses like them don't even know how to make use of great opportunities. While almost all the Yorubas were not on scholarship, but we still went to school.

I don't even have time for these people - they can keep reveling in their own grandiose delusions, as long as it makes them sleep well at night.

I just posted based on the CVs I saw there, and these mofos started catching feelings, like WTF? A nyggah can't even say something without them crying.

That was the same way another one who happens to be a mod was trying to re-write the history of Haitian revolution today, till I had to put him in check and corrected the nonsense. Do whatever you do, but stop messing up history and other things, to suit ya fantasies. Some things are bigger than you and ya delusions - don't touch them.

I'm sorry, Mr. Dunderhead, I don't do illiterate-speak.

I just speak based on reality, and if it's about listing just anyone in a backwater University, then you should be able to list at least a thousand of them with ease.

I was expecting distinguished academics, top of the pops, not just anyone.

Based on this list - even Sierra Leone should be able to produce a far better list than this one.

Like I said earlier: only two (or maybe three) of them are distinguished academics. Thank me, later.

In as much as it pains me, this is the truth.
