Nigerians outperform every race in the US. That should tell us something

Where did you place the Chinese, Koreans, Indians and Japanese.

As per the Nigerians doing well in the US we have some of our best brains outside the country, and we are among the brightest among our race

SonofElElyonRet:

That's orientation not IQ. It's deliberate. Not that they don't know it's wrong. It's just an attitude of impunity. Wrong in every way but that's not what IQ is all about..

Dude, orientation will always affect the IQ level of an individual no matter how you look at it. Orientation usually requires transfer of knowledge and behaviour in ways and patterns that help the lower party gain understanding to become better versions of themselves.

Anyone who has a bad or no orientation can never be smart up to the level of achieving a globally acceptable average IQ level and will always be left out or denied certain privileges that society or the universe makes available.

This is why Nigerians have missed out on a lot of opportunities that they ought to have taken advantage of several years or decades ago.

An example is the removal of petrol subsidy saga in 2012 which if accepted at that time rather than kick the can down the road would have seen the economy overcome the challenges it faces today.

Orientation and IQ levels are not mutually exclusive. One could be seen as a subset of the other whichever way you look at them.

Agbalowomeri:

Yes they do outperform in those society because they find themselves in societies where the mean population has a globally acceptable average IQ level.

I addition to that, the cost of consequences to actions that depict a low IQ level are higher with punishment for terrible ones in those societies.

You must also note that those outliers in those societies are usually outliers in the Nigerian society as well though shadowed by the mean population who dwell in that low IQ phase.

Papa Emma has said the same in his earlier post. Our society doesn't seem to want to appreciate people who follow the rules and have good or high standards except it provides some rewards to those with that low IQ mentality.

This!!

SonofElElyonRet:

I disagree.

Well, you don't need to agree to it.

How do you improve the IQs of persons when you don't get them acquainted with the requisite knowledge and proper orientation like it is being done in schools and communal associations at an earlier age.

Orientation is usually done to enable you accelerate your norms and attitude with the behavioural patterns and norms within a society you are within.

This occurs within our schools, workplace, clubs and associations, etc. These things affect the standard of living everywhere whichever way you look at it.

If you took the people currently residing in Nicon Town,Lekki and placed them in Alagbado, they will transform Alagbado to be similar to their former place of residence with significantly improved living conditions over time.

However, if you took the curent residents of Alagbado and placed them in Nicon Town, the place will become a glorified Oshodi or Alagbado with lower standards of living conditions over time.

This is clearly evident in places like Surulere, Aguda, FESTAC, Satellite Town, Apapa, Agbara Estate, etc. The influence of people with lower IQs decimated the conditions of living and infrastructure in those places to unimaginable levels.

When accountability and corporate governance are aberration in most Nigerian owned faith based organizations, even though the people who brought these foreign faiths to us are accountable to their members, how can we then expect accountability from our political leaders

There is a trending story of a faith merchant that is currently selling super natural T shirts that will bring good luck, protection and prosperity to people who buy and wear the anointed T shirts, yet we have doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants, professors and other highly educated people falling for this scam.

Who did this to Nigerians.

And the JEWS

And the JEWS

Very sorry, I omitted the Jews. Considering their population, I think they should have the highest population density of intelligent people.

Communicating live from the street regarding the topic under consideration, here are my observations as follows:

Common sense is very rare among Nigerian youths most especially, the most annoying part is the ones that went to school lack the expected common sense, most cannot do the right thing outside given instructions, they will messed everything up for you.

Another thing is laziness to read, if you want to keep something long enough without stress, keep it in a book and nothing will happen to it.
People that don't want to read, how will the person be smart? I have tried to keep some money in a book and keep it around at least 50 university students for more than two months and my money was still intact.

Average Nigeria youths is so dumb that to believe being rich automatically means you are the smartest no matter where you get the money.

A society where people with low IQ leads and the smart ones follows.

Sunday igbowo calling for revolution and the supposed smart ones following was the joke of that year.

Imagine portable making mockery of the educated ones, in a same environment, is portable supposed to make a dime.

Seriously a lot of work is needed in Nigeria, I believed we can do better.

emmanuelewumi:

Oga Emma, you have said it all o! The focus on accountability and corporate governance are key to the sustainability of any association or society.

I have always held the view that if the prosperity message was substituted with firm teachings on ethics, morals, diligent work, accountability and proper governance and being taught sincerely in our religious communities as a prerequisite to getting to heaven, we would gradually see the difference in our communities within a short period of time.

Or a society where Silver Bird gave Peller the award of the most powerful influencer and content creator.


That should give you an idea of the type of country we have and the future of the country

It's funny to even know that the Silverbird man called himself the common sense senator. 😂

I even think that the award recipient guy and his cult followers are being supported strongly by some persons to fry and damage the brain cells of our teenagers and young adults.

The damage that guy and his cult follwership have done to our society is just at the incubation stage and not fully manifested o!

RodgersAkpafu:


Classic case of anti intellectualism
That's what you are exhibiting here

And I am not surprised
And when research is conducted suggesting lower IQ among Nigerian (and african people)
You will be revolting

It's what yall exhibit everyday
"I get money"
"Money na water"
"School na scam"
"I'll employ first class and make em my driver"

All reminiscent of a failed, dumb society

The massive economic development happening in China is not being championed by degree holders

We have what we call functional and pragmatic education.

John Dewey did enough on this in his research works on the Sociology of Education

That award should have been given to deserving motivators like Tunde Onakoya (Chess to Slum guy) rather than the Peller guy. It is shocking to know that he has made his partner to forget her project of promoting AI and and encouraged her to submit to his idiocracy community and their behavioural patterns. 🙄

It has been a wonderful experience discussing other topics today.

Will go back discussing stocks tomorrow.

Let's stop the exaggeration and empty boastful talks

The US had been built by some other race before Nigerians flocking there going there for greener pastures.
Where do you put the Jews, Asians, Indians etc. that had been achieving back-to-back landmark success in US?

SonofElElyonRet:

This thread is currently hot now. Make dem no go talk say bright mind like you no get IQ

Na money I dey find, nothing concern me and IQ.
Abi you don ever hear dangote, elumelu, otedola etc dey talk about IQ? Na only poor man dey think that side.
Rich man go employ that High IQ guy and pay him peanuts to make millions for the bigman

This is the reason why I said Nigerians that are outliers in such societies can not eliminate the fact that the presence of the globally acceptable IQ levels from the Jews, Asians, British and Americans helped those Nigerians to step up their game in host societies.

NettyNelly:


I agree with you. Your numbers are correct.

My point is that you can't use past 5 yrs performance to forecast the next 3-5 years. You have to look at the 3 factors that fueled that type of growth in the past, and discount for it In your projection cause this may no longer be the case.

In Being Paranoid, Management trying to diversify to other areas (hospitality, Logistics etc) will tell you they're looking for growth in other areas. There's limit to how far they could grow depending on price increases alone. And this worries me a bit.

I agree completely with you.The magin is going to be flat for reasonable time..Air travelling is becoming expensive and a lot of flight cancellation is happening on daily basis..The stock price has gained enough for early comers...na chaff remain. Without serious diversifying. The existing business has reached her peak for now. .If you are going in at this price na dividend you go just dey enjoy because of high pay out

Don't ever underestimate the IQ, Emotional intelligence quotient and business acumen of the those guys.


It takes a high level of intelligence to integrate and synthesize the knowledge, experience,intelligence and wisdom of smart and highly educated employees in order to achieve your business goals and create sustainable wealth

The degree is only being considered because of the decadence in the standard of education in our society. Within a society of globally accepted average IQs, a high school diploma is enough to get you to be skillful enough to make a change in any society.

You don't need a first degree to learn about sales, trading (whether financial or physical markets), discipline, ethics, hard work, proper governance, etc.

As a matter of fact experience is what matters rather than the degree. The degrees are usually used by people who want to act as gatekeepers to certain areas within any society.

A lot of professionals in developed countries learn courses that improve their skills not focusing on degrees that are becoming obsolete as the years run by but still being used as gatekeepers in the underdeveloped economies.
