Whats the business of Forbes with thosw who stole what? And isnt that the reason why they try to research and verify everything before adding anyone to the list?

I would be dumb to doubt a verified and reliable list like forbes while trying to believe a random unknown person like u


Simply put, the reason why there isnt any Igbo on that list is cause they hate and envy them....that should make u sleep well at night

MXrep:

You be real Ode. So going to Lagos is civilization? I thought it's a sign of people's land being unproductive? Confused mugu. What do we need Lagos for in those days? The British were already here since 1840s and Onitsha was thriving with a British River port. The only thing that brought us to Lagos was almagamation, that was when Lagos had advantage as capital and people moved there. And we arrive before yorubas (apart from indegenous villagers)
From data below, Igbos started migrating to Lagos in 1911 (Aro Confederacy which controlled Igboland was defeated by British in 1902) while yorubas started migrating to Lagos in 1931.
You must be daft by using migration to Lagos as a yardstick for civilization. Do you think Lagos was better than places like Calabar and Onitsha before the amalgamation?

The same Lagos that Yorubas exported slaves from for hundreds of years is what they migrated to in 1931?

Or the same coastal city from which they imported weapons for the Yoruba wars?

🤣

Also you compare Lagos to Calabar or Onitsha?
🤣

You should start comedy!

You realise Lagos alone, was made a Colony.
For Britain to think it worthy of being a stand alone entity shows it was not a jungle like you so desperately claim.

This is Olaiya house, built in 1855.
There were also many buildings like this in that Lagos.

Mind you the British came after.

...and they only took Lagos after a Naval bombardment with Warships.

You only use that much firepower when your enemy is worthy.

Go and check the statistics right before independence n stop capping nonsense here
The igbos were not just ahead in education, they were ahead in everything in Nigeria…
Education, commerce, military, finance, government, politics , entertainment,sports etc. The eastern region was termed as the fastest developing region in the world ….
For your info Awolowo introduced free education for Yorubas, to challenge Igbo dominance in that field.
No wonder the popular slogan then "the fear of the igbos “

There you go again...
🤣

Your region was not ahead in anything.
How many secondary schools were in Igboland to start with?
Not to talk of Higher Institutions.

You lot keep concocting lies to suit your narrative.
If you were ahead, you won't keep fleeing your backward region.

Awolowo gave free education to catch up with who?
🤣

I am sure he started WNTV and built Cocoa House to catch up with Igbos too.
Clown!

...and so you know, nobody fears Igbos.
Not in Nigeria, not anywhere in the World.

Deluded lot!

caracas:

I graduated from the university of Lagos and I can tell you authoritatively that igbos have a very huge population there. Same thing in UI N OAU….

🤣

You compare a people that organized themselves into a Kingdom that ran through several countries to yours-- that lived like cavemen until the British came?

🤣

So let's measure dicks a little bit.

First Nigerian Dr-- William Davies 1858

First Nigerian Lawyer-- Sapara Williams 1879

First Nigerian Engineer- Hebert Macaulay 1893

First Nigerian Chatered Accountant-- Akintola Williams 1949

First Architect-- Michael Onafowokan 1952

First Nigerian Female Dr-- Agnes Savage 1929

First Chief Nursing Officer-- Abeni Pratt

I am sure you know Ajayi Crowther since you mentioned him already.

I can give you many more names if you wish?
🤣

About Olaudah Equiano, not sure what you have to brag about it.
He was captured, he was taught to read and write... and he had an exciting life.
I would belive there were quite a few more like him, who ended up the same way.
Besides he never came back?
He was an outlier and not the norm

The only reason you know about him is because he wrote a memoir.
There must havr been others who didn't write, so...?

How can you then claim he was the first person of Nigerian extraction to be educated?
You realise the Hausa-Fulani have been reading and writing in Arabic for centuries before this?

If you want to pick and choose, to brag about professors.
You can quickly go through this list.


Also Iyalodes and Iyalojas have been activists for centuries even befor Mama Fela.
It has never been new to us.

Secession at the moment is not an Igbo agenda. MNK and his group are on their own. Ndi Igbo have a huge stake in Nigeria project that is why you can never see any Igbo elite talking about Biafra. Biafra agenda is no agenda for ndi Igbo. Igbo leaders have Just told you one of their agenda.

Swear on your Mother's life you never supported Biafra?

You have not provided data for state of origins of all medical students admitted by all the medical schools in Nigeria...your focus on SE enrollment alone which still does not justify your claim.

Until you do so you have no argument

This is the last time I will reply until you provide the data

That's bullshit!
🤣

You provide your fake data.

I went to medical school in South West Nigeria.
My Siblings and some in-laws too.
All in different Universities.

I can count how many Igbos we had.

So your concocted narrative holds no water.
It is just plain hogwash.

Some years back Igbinedion was admitting up to 1000 students into Medicine.
Imagine Edo state now bragging about it?

Just amusing!
🤣

No wonder your medical schools are poor.
Quantity, but no quality.

SpatialKing:


You still haven't proved any point

Those numbers are not captured from the South East only...

You have not provided data for state of origins of all medical students admitted by all the medical schools in Nigeria...your focus on SE enrollment alone still does not justify your claim.

Like said go to Kebbi or Zamfara medical schools you still find more SE students than any other southerners

The indices didn't measure quality of Medical education instead number of medical students by region so you are going off point already...

The fact still remains
SE has more medical Students Spread across all the medical schools in Nigeria...

That is a lie?

What spread are you talking about?

I can count on my fingers and toes, how many classmates where Igbo.
...Out of a class of above 250.

Same with my sister who schooled and did her Residency in 2 different Teaching Hospitals.

I have 4 other siblings too including my Parents and they had no such spread.

I also served in the North and was in a few Teaching Hospitals there.
Igbos did not populate anywhere.

I have friends that trained in the North and they were mostly Yoruba Muslims.

Stop lying oga.
You twist any narrative to buttress your delusions of grandeur.


It is very evident your schools admit above the required quota.
No be today.

SpatialKing:


An average Yoruba student will rather wait and keep retrying to attend OAU, UI, Unilag and other south west universities like his/her parents and grand parents did than attend any university outside south east....

How many Yorubas are willing to go to Kebbi to study Medicine?

And you saying is because of overbloated because of overadmission (beyond quota) by SE med Sch..
Shows how ignorantt and naive you are when it comes to the strict regulations around intake and grad from medical schools by the regulatory bodies..

Moreover, if is easy to overbloated the North would've done that since...

Please accept it in good faith data is data the south east region is leading.. Commend the south east education system for a job well done

South West students should leave OAU and UI medical schools go to other regions to school... Also your government should work on reducing the number of out school children in region...

Peace ✌️

Oga, no Yoruba is willing to go to the East for University.

I personally only know one Yoruba Dr that finished from UNN... and I know lots lf Drs.

Yorubas, however, particularly the Muslims are willing to go up North.
I repeat, asides UNN, there are no other reputable Universities in the East, so why will any sane person leave an OAU or UI or Covenant or ABUAD for there?

Don't you get it?

They would rather go to ABU or UNIMAID or UDUS

Also, so you know, medical education in the East is generally inferior to the South West.

I know people who have complained of not being able to do basic tests when they trained there.
Even the Teaching Hospitals dod not have CT Scans...
( I am not willing to give you screenshots from a private group I belong to, to prove this).

So what are they teaching.

Besides, how can Imo state with few medical (and deficient) medical schools admit more medical students than states with more and better established medical schools.

The joke is on you!

This paper published a few years back was talking about your people.
🤣

Keep deceiving yourselves.

caracas:

You just proved his point.
Thought you were going to counter his claims with statistics of highest in universities, secondary schools , n other institutions of education.was hoping for current or at least most recent indicators but no you had to go back to when yorubas were leading. Yes we know there was a time the yorubas overtook the igbos n that was after the war but clearly the igbos have recovered n has over taken the yorubas.
Number of professors does not reflect how educated a region is cos just a minor percentage of educated people end up as professors…..

Number of Professors does not reflect education?

wiseoneking:
is not a matter of crying here on nairaland, SE dominates all their 5 states and still have maximum metit in all federal universities and private universities in Nigeria. As I said, UNILAG, OAU etc has at least 15 to 30% of their students from SE. This is under Merit list meaning the 15to 20% top scorers of admitted students. As you say, no other proper universities aside of UNN, okay, that said, they will definitely rule your states where there are proper universities.may be that's while the three premier universities and institutions : Yaba tech, unilag, ui are all pioneered by Igbo vc’s,

Presently, covenant university se population would soon be more than the people of that region. There are more higher institutions in sw but Igbos are trouping there and soon will. …,,,,?

The difference here is that the Igbos are 97% in charge in their region due to high competition and they are taken seizable percentage in every other region esp sw and ss. They reduced that of the ne and nw due to banditry and are strong in nc.

Other true federalism and merit, 40% of SW universities and 80% northern uni would have been of SE ORIGIN.

Stop digging up imagined stats from your lala land.

The reason Igbos 'dominate' your region is because nobody wants to come there.

Simple.

Also, it seems nobody can win with you guys.
If they do not allow you somewhere else based on merit, you scream nepotism.

When they allow you, you brag about how you are going to dominate others.

What a mindset!

So Federal and Private Universities in the South West are now to blame for allowing people deserving of admission to get it?
Won't you start bleating again if they don't?

Also, it is a big lie that your kin make up 30% of the admission in the Univerisities you mentioned.

I schooled in one of them, so you know.
...and in no time are you dominating shit!

wiseoneking:
That's under merit for SE students admission in sw schools. While she universities are highly competitive with more qualified students, they tend to look for admission in sw and northern universities where they are able to be admitted under merit. Their sw counter rarely apply se universities because of fear of competition. Remember those Sch you mentioned are federal and private uni. The day sw uni will open up on merit, they will see influx of se students dominating in their state universities. Igbos are naturally born to take advantage of their opportunities with both hands.

Give me one reason why a South-Westerner would want to go to the East to school?

Just one!

Asides UNN, is there any other proper Uni?
So what are you bragging about?

Besides, your kin fighting tooth-and-nail to come school in the West are not fleeing any dumb competition...
They know where the best schools are.

Stop chatting shit!

lozanni:


I will not exchange words with an uncouth fellow like you. Mere arguments, you immediately descend to your primordial nature.

I have medical friends who attended OAU and they told me about admission policy for medical students at the university at that time; its possible that things have changed over time at the institution.

I will like to know which higher institution you attended.

What was the admission policy?
No dey lie oga!

lozanni:


All you have written is based on hearsay.
I know UNN, like OAU, admits a lot of medical students, but use the 2nd MB exams to weed the number to those who truly deserve to study medicine and surgery. Also, standards were also very high back then when I was at UNN as I knew some medical students who had to change to other courses of study as they could not pass the 2nd MB exams, even though they had parents who were lecturers in the Medical faculty.
So what you are saying about getting admitted with a score of 200 to study medicine at UNN is an absolute fallacy.
UNN graduates call themselves Lions and Lionesses because they know the worth of certificates they were awarded and this cannot be rubbished by unsubstantiated allegations of tale bearers.

OAU has never admitted 500 medical students!

Never!

Stop the cap please!

Kingbuhari:
Stooooopid people Awolowo managed gave education will come now and say, how many of them will graduate, why South West produces most of the doctors bla bla bla .. even will not allow them to admit, the region they deprived everything are thriving while them are going down down down to the sewage... Minus Awolowo, North will pass them in literacy rating

You realise the South West already had Drs from the mid 1800s?

You are a joke!

showlove911:
These numbers does not reflect the true statistics.

In FMC abakaliki, Ebonyi state where I work, the number of medical students exceeds 300. I mean one level(like 300L). Now 99% of the students are actually igbos.

My neighbor, a nursing student, their class is well over 500 (just 4th year). I once helped my landlord to do exam invigilation of law students, 100L. It took 3 big halls to continue them. 98% igbos.

We don't have or keep data in this country and its sad.

You realise NUC gives each University a quota for admission and graduation?

Bragging about fraudulent activities going on shows you know little about the system.
