You run enmasse to SW due to its evonomic viability abd leave your region - we know why. Out of thinking you're smart, you're asking that we move to a fallow land you lot abandon daily?

QuotaSystem:
Yet ibos crammed like sardines (with attachment) still troop into Kano in their escape buses e.g. Young Shall Grow, ABC, Chisco etc. on a daily basis to come and hawk expired and fake drugs

Yanmiri's are the igwes of self delusion

[s]thats why your lazy bottoms resort to living on peanuts from fg to survive, while majority venture into rituals, robbery, drugs, touts and the consequent rise in rape capes in your sophisticated rusted zink region. [/s]These people you mock are strugling citizens and travling to areas where one can make a legitmate live means cannever be crime.

If so then why insult and deride the regions they are going to struggle in? I guess you didn't read the nonsense the boy posted.

ichoku:
Of course you are turning it into economic unviability. The truth you guys confuse yourselves a lot about the West's viability. The North and the East are far more viable than the West in terms of making money. The only drawback to the North is religious extremism. The same religious extremis and then tribal extremism is gradually creeping into the West. And gradually Igbos and other Nigerians are becoming reluctant to invest in the West. In the next 30 years this will explode. The truth is that most rich Igbos made their money in the North and the East; Onitsha, Kano, Aba were where Igbo wealth was created. Wealth created in these places were then taken to Lagos, the so-called West. If the West is so viable mention one Igbo or Yoruba in Oshogbo, Ibadan, Ado Ekiti, Akure who is rich enough to challenge the richest trader in Aba or Onitsha or even Kano. Forget Lagos. The story of Abuja has shown us why Lagos is what it is. Tomorrow the Gwari will come out and praise themselves for achievements in Abuja. Let's check list of richest Igbo men and see where they made their money. Here I go:

(1) Ibeto - Nnewi
(2) Orji Uzor Kalu- Maiduguri
(3) Chisco Transport Owner - Onitsha
(4) Emeka Offor - Onitsha
(5) Umu Igbo please add yours

Delusion out of emotion is a problem for Igbo.

And the richest man in Africa's investment is all over the SW.

And cretinous elements like you are rushing to the west clogging up the Alabas, the Ladipos and the Oyingbos.

And your richest ever, Ojukwu's investment was in the SWest.

And the first point of call of investments for foreign companies is the SWest

Yet, the North and East are much more viable.

Yibhoes, in the face of obvious facts, let emotions drive their thoughts.

Sir, you're one sick cnu.t

You will be needing to see a psychiatrist sooner than you thought. Something is amiss and I do hope you figure it out as soon as possible in order to seek relevant help.

Like I mentioned earlier in other threads, sit tight and watch your children and their own children pay rent to the "Yibhoes" in your own veery remote locality. For now, rant all you may

And you'll sit tight and watch your children and their own children pay taxes to the Yoruba, get flogged by the Yoruba, get deported to the bia-gully-fra in large numbers by the Yoruba, get their 2 by 2 stalls locked up by the Yoruba, kiss their presidential ambition goodbye, re-count how their biafra warriors were murdered in large numbers by the 'coward' Yoruba - shall I go on?

Debola, things are not what they seem. You guys usually felt every part of the East is a jungle swallowing everything your junk newspapers sold you. You beat your chest about being the most educated and developed part of nigeria, until the internet came and boom, Waec,.neco, and the jambs recorded jolted you into reality. Then the pictures of enugu, onitsha, owerri, aba made brown oshogbo, abeokuta and oyo look like refugee camps....like you guys just suffered a war recently.

One would think with the East's acclaimed beauty and development, these cretins from the East will stay put and develop it further but the reality on ground is different. West is miles ahead, na why una dey troop out daily.

LOOK WHO IS GOING TO SCHOOL IN NIGERIA:
THE STATISTICS MAY SURPRISE YOU
Ikechukwu Agbor Tuesday, February 10, 2009

"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence". --John Adam's (1735 - 1826) argument as he defended soldiers in the Boston Massacre trials in December 1770.

In every conceivable hamlet in Nigeria and most of Africa are men and women from the South-East who toil to make ends meet, and because of their sheer number, the press in Nigeria has continued to assert, albeit wrongly that the South-Easterners have abandoned education.

Why is that so?

Come along with me as we meander through the maze, bare the facts and bust the myth of who is in school and who is not.


We will begin by consulting JAMB, culling figures from UME admissions in the years 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, and then crunching the numbers and provide the statistics.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/129671_chart1_jpg9400f3fc1292afce7e9255bbcbb7afcd

Fig.1. Total Admissions for the six year period for the six geo-political zones


It is noteworthy that the South-West lags behind among the three zones that comprise the South, and so for the purposes of this presentation, I will limit the study to the three Southern zones as the Northern zones have historically lagged behind their Southern counterparts.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/129672_chart2_jpga0a3b889691a453e4a152380b413c374
Fig.2. Admissions for South-East, South-West and South-South


From the above, it can thus be established that the South-East has more of her young men and women admitted to Nigerian universities than either the South-West or the South-South; "quota" system not withstanding. The South-South has been next to the South-East in the number of university admissions in all the years except 2006 and 2007 when South-West made a nominal gain. Within the South-South, it is interesting to note that Delta State is tops, and no attempt will be made on the part of the author to divvy up the South-South for the purposes of this presentation in spite of the fact that Delta and Rivers States have more of their young men and women admitted than Kwara and Kogi put together, so no numbers will be appropriated from the South-South into South-East, in as much as in the same token no remnants of Kogi and Kwara States will be consigned into the South-West.


The South-East and the South-West have far more homogeneity within the population that occupies its geographic space due to language. It is also noteworthy that there is a presence of Ijaw in the South-West but still my subsequent comparison will be solely confined to only the South-West and the South-East.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/129673_chart3_jpge2d327e790b9ada584954b99a32d1fb8
Fig.3. Male / Female admissions in the South-East


It can be seen from the above that it was only in 2004 that the number of women surpassed the men by a miniscule number. Also note the spikes in 2003 and 2004; I am not sure whether to attribute that to the number of universities under the wing of JAMB or to some other factors. The spike is also apparent when South-East is compared to both South-West and South-South (See Fig.4). It is also noteworthy that the South-East women have continued to keep pace with their male counterparts. To make a blanket statement that the South-East has abandoned education is totally false; that there are a number of men who are gainfully employed either as artisans or traders only goes to show that the South-East population has always been underestimated.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/129674_chart4_jpg4bd59914ab8905c5f78b58950813ade3
Fig.4. South-East and South-West total admissions


It is discernible that in the years from 2002 until 2007, the South-East has continued to lead the South-West in university admissions. The South-East bested the South-West in terms of number of admissions in both genders also. As to the spikes in 2003 and 2004, my best bet would be that in the subsequent years, JAMB divested from the number of universities under its wing. (See also Fig.3.)
www.nairaland.com/attachments/129675_chart5_jpgb7a32d8a5caa1bf12fa5e031ed6de980

Fig.5. South-East and South-West admissions for males


We can glean from the above chart that there are more Southeast males in the universities than their counterparts in the Southwest. In 2005 ad 2006 the numbers essentially remained the same for each zone.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/129676_chart6_jpgba35da0c97a3739577e4f82298472ca4
Fig.6. South-East and South-West female admissions


From the above, there are more South-East females in the universities than their SW female counterparts.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/129677_chart7_jpg6e9fcdcc9d9025b4e13b9143fd29248c
Fig.7. South-East Female and South-West Male admissions for six years



From the above, there are more S females in the universities than SW males.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/129678_chart8_jpg6efe076d1caeaecc3f3c3b8b60f14b2f

Fig.8. South-East Male and South-West female admissions for six years



From the above there are more SE males in the universities than SW females

www.nairaland.com/attachments/129679_chart9_jpg94caaa4be826166e9f4f759f7198bb2c

Fig.9. South-East and South-West male and female admissions for six years





From the above, among all genders, SE males lead the SE females barely, who in turn lead the SW males. The SW females are fewer in number of admissions than all others.

We can deduct from the above bar charts as follows:


From fig.1: among the six geo-political zones for six years admissions from 2002 through 2007, the SE leads followed by SS, then SW, NC, NW while NE bottomed out.

Fig.2: The SE leads the three zones in the south

Fig.3: Total male admissions in the SE is more than the female admissions for the six year period

Fig.4: SE leads SW in total admissions for six years in a row

Fig.5: SE males lead their SW counterparts in admissions for six years in row

Fig.6: SE females lead their SW counterparts in admissions for six years in a row

Fig.7: SE females lead SW males in admissions for six years in a row

Fig.8: SE males lead SW females in admissions for six years in a row

Fig.9: In all genders, SE males are tops, followed by SE females, then SW males, while S females bottomed out

In conclusion, if we add up the number of young men and women who are admitted into Nigeria universities together with the South-East men and women who are in the remotest conceivable hamlets of every state in Nigeria, and the rest in the West African sub-region and other parts of Africa, who are wrongly accused of having abandoned higher education while there South-East peers hold their own, it makes me to still demand to know how many we really are; the Nigerian state continues to spew out spurious population censuses.

Finally, if the South-East has more people in the universities when there is no reason other than that they have more candidates applying for same, it would be right and appropriately so to postulate that it in terms of population, there are more people in the South-East than either in the South-West or the South-South.

So the next time they tell you that South-East males have abandoned school, point the statistics in their face. And more poignantly ask them: O bu anyi anaghi eme ofuma; anyi oga egburu unu onwe anyi? (Aren't we doing well already; do we commit suicide for you all?)

But wait, in the next segment when the 2006 population census will be analyzed, the reader will be in for more shocker; the 2006 population census has Oyo State as the most populated State in the South-West outside Lagos, with a population of 5,591,581, while the most populated state in the South-East is Anambra State with a total population of 4,182,032. However in 2007 JAMB admissions, Anambra State recorded a total of 8,725 in admissions while Oyo State had 3,788….I am crunching the numbers.

and hausas/fulanis are born lovers i guess, even the love in their heart is so big that God had to give them extra space. . With all the lives that have wasted and sent to the beyond all in the name of boko haram, fulani herdsmen/indigenes clash and other riots. You love the yorubas but yet u kidnap and even kill them too. The Ibos are just realist, they known the One Nigeria is just a facade. I would rather sleep with the devil on the same bed than an angel i do not know.

Ucheosefoh:
Yorubas are too poor and lazy to develop another man's land make them change the rusted zincs in their cities first before looking for where to develop

Rolings:


Ibos and their obsession with rusted roofs of Yoruba cities is it because the oldest cities in the east was destroyed during the war? Mind you the south west is the most economically viable region in Nigeria that's another reason for you to hate yorubaland but like someone in this thread noted no philosopher can explain the aba made logic of ibos trooping to other regions and "Claiming to develop " those region while abandoning their own region, even Israel that they claim they originate from is developed so why not igboland? #Foodforthoughtforibos
