Gives not actual information about the general standard of living.

It's no secret that igbos before the war occupied top positions in government just like the fulani's of today but that is not in anyway representative of the general living standards of igbos or fulani's..........the north has more billionaires but dangote's wealth isn't representative of the general standard of living in the north. The author of this book obviously wanted to paint the igbos in a very positive light......but since we're all wankking off to the "white man's" report below is a colonial report on the ethic make up prisons.... showing that igbos were predominantly jail birds, note that crime rates are usually higher amongst poor individuals, e.g black americans.

It could also mean that Igbos were less tolerant to crime and were more likely to report a crime than other ethnicities hence had more criminal elements incarcerated.

Little wonder the EASTERN region was the most peaceful region in Nigeria post independence leading up to Biafra war and remained the most peaceful region post 1999 until the Python dance and now UGM.

Number of people in prison doesn't necessarily represent crime rate. It could represent a better effective community policing capable of riding the society of criminal elements very quick and maintaining a relatively more peaceful region than others whose community policing is defective or culture is more tolerant of letting criminal elements stay free

Chew on this.

I don't chew on bullshit......for a tribe that celebrates and gives chieftaincy titles to drug barons I find your excuse utterly fanciful and hilarious.

akata men are in american prisons because they were less tolerant to crime and were more likely to report a crime than other ethnicities and have the criminal elements incarcerated

You have a known drug Baron as your political Jagaban. You all bow down to him despite his dirty past, yet you have temerity to talk about Igbos who stone criminal elements like Ekweremmadu for feeding fat on public funds while people suffer in penury.

If we have Biafra, Ekweremmadu would be in Prison, if you have Odua, Tinubu would be a God.
And you wonder why our prisons had more people in them than yours?

The facts currently visible shows that unlike the bullshit you wrote, igbos are drug peddling crime apologists with the highest drug pushers and criminals in Nigeria......we see how you guys celebrate crime. Stop bullshittin yourself.

Well, so far as you are not doing the drug peddling in our land, we can't stop you.
It's the duty of the countries they are domiciled in that has that obligation.

But in Yoruba land, a drug lord is a political point one well honoured by all and sundry, so bad that they think the whole country should accept a drug Baron as a president.

All available Stats show that SE has the lowest crime rate in Nigeria.

I applauded u yesterday when u gave a detailed analysis of how to fight a war n your presented your analysis like a reasonable man should but here u are showing us how selectively reasonable u could be.

U brought the white man analysis of how u are the best to massage your ego n that of your tribesmen something we can relate to inferiority complex or unnecessary validation from people who don't care about u but when u were countered n presented with another white man analysis who paint u black,u are here trying to change the narrative n give excuses for yourself.

If your presentation is anything to go by that also justifies the fact that u are criminals too,since u so much love the white man validation.

U Igbos have something in common n I notice it's everyone of u,when a narrative favours u,u defend it to high heaven but when d table turns u lament.

An Igbo guy said Nnamdi Kanu is d only man in the world who has never lied n everything he said is truth n must b swallowed hook line n sinker.I told the guy Nnamdi Kanu also said 99.9% of Igbo women are prostitutes which include his mom n every Igbo lady we know n the guy started insulting me.

That's d hypocrisy of all Igbos,say yes when it favous u but scatter everything when tables turn

You're not guilty of a crime until you're proven guilty by a court and appropriately sentenced for it, until tinubu is convicted and sentenced then he's still better than kuje alumni's like ozur kalu and the likes......not my business if a few Ipob thugs are harassing their leaders in germany.

How exactly does number of prisoners of Igbo origin paint Igbo bad?

Are you okay at all?

The number of Igbo prisoners only represent the number of criminal caught. It can mean the East had a better policing than other regions whose system were poor and so couldn't rid their society of criminal elements.

Stats is one thing, interpretation is another thing.
You want to give the stat a negative interpretation while I gave it a rational positive interpretation. What is wrong with that?

Anenih the famous criminal was not Igbo, Oyenusi was not Igbo, Shina Rambo wasn't Igbo.
These were the three most notorious criminals in Nigerian history that received most media coverage.

You are the one with the hypocrisy.

You even have a drug lord as former senator, and thanks to Ambode, we know that his successor is a drug addict/lord too.

Ironsi reminds me a bit of Zik and GEJ!

Lol
Ironsi was worse than those two..
The whole mess we find ourselves in today was his fault.
This guy was warned by senior igbo officers of an impending coup! Many times! But he will refer the officers to Gowon, who will later hide the issue. Appointed northern officers as his guards in the name of one Nigeria! Very very naive character! People blame Nzeogwu and Ojukwu a lot but the main culprit is Ironsi.

Paul Anber's essay "Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos" published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. See pp 171-172 for excerpt:


" '' A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 10.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education.

Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 1,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 68,220 individual members, the west 5,776, and the north a mere 2,407." ''... His source was the Annual Abstract of Statistics ( Federal Office of Statistics, Lagos, 1965
