Ehn, the narrative dey sweet for mouth, but make we no lie to ourselves.

Illiteracy no get tribe, na just the situation wey dey affect everybody.

Meanwhile, some people fit dey argue say na the Igbos wey no sabi book, but we all know say na the same way dem dey shine for business, dem dey shine for education too.

Na wah, if una no fit reason am well, e go just be like say una dey throway stones for glass house.

Abeg, make we focus on better things wey go lift all our pikin dem up instead of dragging tribe matter like say na competition.

It has been like this since 1914. It was just misrepresentation and propaganda that they used to portray some region as best educated. My observation

Now you have to look at the level of illiteracy!

An illiterate from the East cannot even match his counterpart from the West. He is unexposed, unenlightened, and even archaic to modern norms. Double with his accent that identifies him anywhere he goes.

Illiteracy got levels!

It’s clear that this question is just another attempt to drag down the reputation of hardworking people. The ignorance is truly staggering, and it seems some are just looking for a reason to stir up trouble.

They have started another stupid thread to create tribal jabs.

Is this the right thing to discuss at this point? Is this important at this moment?

Igbo people always like to brag about their education, but these stats don't lie. They need to step up and stop thinking they are better than others. It's clear the numbers show a different story.

Statisense with their nonsense stats... Nah percentage of men wey dey fvck their wives well well remain wey dem go post, nonsense

Yorubas always lagging Igbos

Please read the book below. You won't be disappointed.

This data just proves the obvious. Igbos love to brag about their intelligence, but when it comes to actual results, they are lagging behind. Instead of crying foul, maybe it's time to reflect on their educational priorities. No amount of noise can cover the truth. Time to step up!

who was that

A visit to ijebu says it all.

Mtchwwwwww

From the comments above
Many don't even understand the statistical data presented.

Yoruba lagging behind the great igbos

It's funny how the narrative always shifts to blame one tribe or the other. Illiteracy isn't limited to any one group; it's a nationwide issue. But let's be honest, some people are just too proud to admit that their own regions have serious educational gaps. The focus should be on fixing the system rather than pointing fingers. The reality is, while some Yoruba and Igbo are thriving, there are still pockets of ignorance in both tribes. Instead of playing this blame game, how about we all come together to uplift our youth? But then again, some would rather stay stuck in their tribal wars than face the truth.

So, kanuri children solve maths pass Yoruba and Igbo kids?

As they have high percentage of teens that can't read/write. How are they good in maths? Is the calculation done on paper or orally?

Asume they did it by number i will understand as they're among minority, but it's base on percentage

Per the emboldened; You and who exactly did you mean by “We All Know” ?

In what business exactly are your people shining with their 2 by 2 shops at Ladipo & Alaba markets?

Yes! They’re shining in their Cocaine-Trafficking, Kidnapping, Armed-Robbery, Baby Factory, Human Trafficking & Ritual businesses.

And their children too are shining in Education like the manner in which “Mmesoma Joy Ejikeme” falsified her JAMB result - while all your elders from your region lined up shamelessly to defend her and even awarded her scholarship until JAMB posted her forged result on the internet for whole World to see.

You people will just pull out baseless assertions from your filthy anuses, thinking everybody in Nigeria are morons like all the people in your villages.

The Importance of Embracing Education in All Nigerian Regions

Education is a fundamental pillar for the growth and development of any nation. For Nigeria, a country with diverse regions and vast potential, the embrace of education across all regions is particularly critical. This report outlines the reasons why every region in Nigeria must prioritize and embrace education.
1. Economic Development
Boosts Economic Growth

Education equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to participate effectively in the economy. Educated citizens are more likely to engage in entrepreneurial activities, secure better-paying jobs, and contribute to the nation’s GDP. By prioritizing education, Nigerian regions can enhance their economic development and reduce poverty.
Promotes Innovation and Technological Advancement

A well-educated population is essential for innovation and technological progress. Education fosters critical thinking and creativity, which are crucial for developing new technologies and improving existing ones. Nigerian regions that invest in education can become hubs of innovation, driving the country’s technological advancement.
2. Social Progress
Improves Health and Well-being

Education has a direct impact on health outcomes. Educated individuals are more likely to make informed health choices, leading to better overall health and well-being. They are also more likely to understand and access healthcare services, resulting in lower mortality rates and improved quality of life.
Reduces Inequality

Education is a powerful tool for reducing social and economic inequalities. It provides individuals from all backgrounds with the opportunity to improve their socio-economic status. By ensuring access to quality education in all regions, Nigeria can work towards a more equitable society.
3. Political Stability and Good Governance
Enhances Civic Participation

Educated citizens are more likely to participate in the political process and advocate for their rights. They are better informed about their civic duties and responsibilities, leading to increased voter turnout and engagement in democratic processes. This fosters a culture of accountability and transparency in governance.
Promotes Peace and Security

Education can play a crucial role in promoting peace and security. It helps to reduce crime rates and prevent conflicts by providing individuals with alternative pathways to success. Regions with higher levels of education are more likely to experience social cohesion and stability.
4. Cultural Enrichment and Preservation
Fosters Cultural Awareness and Understanding

Education promotes cultural awareness and understanding among different ethnic groups. It encourages respect for diversity and helps to bridge cultural divides. By embracing education, Nigerian regions can preserve their unique cultural heritage while fostering national unity.
Promotes National Identity

An educated population is better equipped to appreciate and contribute to the country’s cultural and historical narrative. Education can instill a sense of pride and national identity, which is essential for building a cohesive and harmonious society.
5. Environmental Sustainability
Encourages Sustainable Practices

Education raises awareness about environmental issues and promotes sustainable practices. Educated individuals are more likely to engage in activities that protect the environment and support sustainable development. By prioritizing education, Nigerian regions can contribute to the global effort to combat climate change and preserve natural resources.
Conclusion

Embracing education in all Nigerian regions is essential for the country’s overall development and prosperity. Education drives economic growth, promotes social progress, enhances political stability, enriches cultural heritage, and supports environmental sustainability. By investing in education and ensuring access to quality education for all citizens, Nigeria can unlock its full potential and build a brighter future for generations to come.

I don't know where you got this stupid information.
According to UNESCO and other RELEVANT Organizations. The Yoruba people are the most literate and educated in Nigeria.
We should start with the numbers of institutions.

I can't imagine people with densed accent, and leaves round their bossom have reasonable number of literates.

See the chart below and rid yourself of ignorance.

Philipponzaghi:
Igbo people always like to brag about their education, but these stats don't lie. They need to step up and stop thinking they are better than others. It's clear the numbers show a different story.

Shut up your mouth.. You just keep proving them right.. READ THE ABOVE STATISTICS AGAIN.. but this time, SLOWLY..

you are still proving me right....we are talking of recent and you are bringing 2018 graph! that is literacy!

Is it that you cannot interpret statistical figures or what? This is because the statistical figures presented shows that the Igbos are doing better than the other two major tribes on the indices measured.

You guys are masters in the craft of changing narratives sha.

Stop comparing igbos with happy slave aka yoruba coward

Ronu brown-roof inhabiters are the worst

modern definition of illiteracy is not ability to read and write is ability to learn unlearn and relearn, I put it to you OP that you are an illiterate for posting this tribal post.

gfelo:

And I put it to you that you are an illiterate for refusing to extrapolate data from a general stats that will help you in planning regional education policies

Yorubas looking at the stats up there and still calling out Igbo shows that education is luxury in the SW
