Although every advantages lies on the side of the the great yorubas such as first contact with europeans cum early education, sea ports, lagos been the capital, taking over of virtually all the sector of economy after the Biafran war but am seeing the igbos competing even far better today in all spheres is making me to think igbos are ahead after.
