Why the white Missionaries described Igbos As superior Negros by Nobody: 10:06am On Apr 08, 2017 |
Have you ever wondered why in all the documentations of the colonial missionaries, the igbos were usually addressed with adjectives like " the great Igbo", "Superior race", "The Igbo empire","Igbo kingdom", "the super Negros"? and these missionaries were always full of praises for the igboman's unique nature. These are submissions by white men as at the 17th century. This make me wonder how come nobody wrote such about the so call Oyo empire, all we know about Oyo empire are self acclaimed, of which the present generation seem to have lost that legendary trait unlike the igbos who are still waxing stronger even after the defect of the civil war Nigeria tried to make us believe that igbos never had an empire just because they didnt built urban centers like it was in Ibadan and other Yoruba towns, which were a form of defensive mechanism against barbaric salvagry and inter-tribal wars. From the colonial documentations, the yorubas were described as barbarous while igbos were described as civilized despite not having built urban centers/empires as our western brothers like to claims.(i didnt make this, read the document below)
till now,evidence still prove that igbo greatness is innate and has been passed down from generation to generation. their greatness became even more obvious with the way they developed weapons and fought the civil war and also survived the after war anti igbo policies despite their properties seized,monies taken away from them and where given just 20pounds and denied federal attention. just look at them now, they are everywhere succeeding, breaking grounds/records, dominating every sector in Nigeria that doesn't have government presence. they are back to leadership in education, technology, trade and commerce,oil and gas(at the up stream level) industrialization, entertainment, sports, music,ICT, pharmaceuticals, real estate, transport....just name any sector So all these make me begin to wonder if that way the reason why Britain preferred the hausa fulani to take charge of Nigeria because they knew if they had allowed the igbos, Nigeria would by now be challenging Europe and America in trade, commerce,science, technology and development. or is it also a reason why the west doesn't want the emergence of biafra because they know igbos are the only African race that can develop themselves indigenously like the Asian tigers and if that happens, biafra will challenge a new thinking in Africa. Now lets look at some of this documents www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606203_265940620150722195618jpeg4f3d8eea0d927617038a897e4bd7efd1_jpeg_jpegceaf32e4c1a92c7bcec4254f46e42d8a www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606217_img20150902073317_jpeg895ed2c35e62f81eaaca847862a8e42a
The most recent is that igbos are now been used by world renowned scholars such as Thomas Sowell,Chanda Chisala and Peter frost to disprove white race intelligence superiority over blacks. my question is why must it be igbo and not another especially the self acclaimed sophisticated goons

UK: Igbo Nigeria Academic Performance Destroys The Myth Of Black Low IQ Source: Raising the Achievement of Black African Pupils: Good Practice in Schools A couple of years after that news and more stories of black and other minority progress on GCSEs, GL Assessment, an independent testing organization, published results of their Cognitive Assessment Tests (CAT), indicating the performance of different ethnic groups. The CAT, though given to children at age 11, is highly correlated with GCSE results at age 16. The CAT results confirmed what the GCSEs had shown: that black Africans were catching up with British whites, and this sparked even more panic in the IQ-human biodiversity blogosphere. Nigeria and Igbo academic supremacy in Britain Although the Chinese and Indians are still very conspicuously above even the best African nationalities, their superiority disappears when the Nigerian and other groups are broken down even further according to their different tribal ethnicities. Groups like the famous Igbo tribe, which has contributed much genetically to the African American blacks, are well known to be high academic achievers within Nigeria. In fact, their performance seems to be at least as high as the “model minority” Chinese and Indians in the UK, as seen when some recent African immigrants are divided into languages spoken at home (which also indicates that these are not multigenerational descendants but children of recent immigrants). Africans speaking Luganda and Krio did better than the Chinese students in 2011. The igbo were even more impressive given their much bigger numbers (and their consistently high performance over the years, gaining a 100 percent pass rate in 2009!). The superior Igbo achievement on GCSEs is not new and has been noted in studies that came before the recent media discovery of African performance. A 2007 report on “case study” model schools in Lambeth also included a rare disclosure of specified Igbo performance (recorded as Ibo in the table below) and it confirms that Igbos have been performing exceptionally well for a long time (5 + A*-C GCSEs); in fact, it is difficult to find a time when they ever performed below British whites. The Chinese and Indian levels of Free School Meals are even lower than the Ghanaian and Nigerian pupils when the Africa segment is broken down into nationalities. If these Nigerian groups really performed so well under the years in question when the media started catching the news, one would expect some names of their students to be reported in the news among the best performing students in the country. Statistically, if girls outperformed boys and Igbos outperformed other ethnic groups in 2010, one would expect an igbo girl to be among the top performers in the country. In fact, according to a Daily Mail report on the GCSE results of 2010, the best student in the whole country was indeed a Nigerian girl, Chidera Ota. A check on Nigerian names confirms that she is of Igbo descent. Ota scored 15 A*s, higher than any Chinese, Indian or white student, and higher than any student from prestigious elite schools like Eton College (she was at a state funded selective high school for girls). To put it into perspective, these results mean that the children of black Africans (or at least West Africans) are not only not scoring below the scores of low-IQ poor white children, as Jensen’s calculations would predict, they are even able to score above children of elite whites too (who go to Eton college etc). What are the chances of a girl from a small minority group of immigrants whose home country is 2 standard deviations below the host country’s mean IQ achieving the best academic results in the host country? If the average IQ of SubSaharan African adults is equal to 11 year old Europeans, as their IQ scores estimate (Rushton, 2004), what are the chances that an African child of such adults would ever beat all European children in academic achievement? Had the low phenotypic IQ of black Africans truly been biologically caused even to some degree, such feats should be as rare as having the fastest 100 meters runner in the world coming from the slowest running ethnicity in the world. In short, what are the chances of say, an Indian immigrant to Jamaica winning the national 100 meters sprint? Even more incredible, what are the chances that the children of such “super-selected” Indian immigrant athletes would also (on average and on top) beat the children of native Jamaicans and other immigrants known for their superior athleticism? The academic performance of the African students in the UK is even more remarkable when the well-known fact of higher black involvement in sport and athletics (at any level) is taken into account. Whereas Chinese and Indian students are not exactly expected to lead their schools or colleges to winning athletic championships, many black students are actively involved in athletics even when they have a strong academic focus. For example, a check on the Cambridge web site reveals that Chidera Ota, the UK’s best GCSE student in her cohort, was also the fastest runner in the girls 100 and 200 meters team for Cambridge (she qualified to Cambridge’s premed program after subsequently achieving straight A’s on her A-levels). Since she could not have just become a fast runner in college, it means that she achieved her academic performance in high school while being very active in athletics. It is quite plausible that the higher athletic commitments of black African students probably hinders them from achieving even further than they do in academics; it is especially difficult to develop a deep mastery of a specific academic field since this requires much more intensive focus and time commitments. On the other hand, it is also difficult for them to suppress their natural athletic (or artistic) gifts and interests for an unbalanced academic existence. http://afripol.org/afripol/item/1813-uk-nigerian-academic-performance-in-destroys-the-myth-of-black-low-iq.html PIC 1 & 2 Source: Raising the Achievement of Black African Pupils: Good Practice in Schools https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/rsu/sites/lambeth.gov.uk.rsu/files/Raising_the_Achievement_of_Black_African_Pupils-Good_Practice_in_Schools_2013.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwiq2Ly9gJTTAhVmKcAKHef0BS8QFggcMAA&usg=AFQjCNHEUglRQ_S1KQIF7OZQoem5ceKjZw 8 Likes 2 Shares

Now my challenge to all you haters who like to deride igbo greatness out of envy to list out from historical documentations where they theselves have been acknowledged to have done the extra ordinary, or they have been praised by a neutral party(white man) as been great,superior or what so ever. we are tired of people claiming to be sophisticated and civilized with nothing, i mean, nothing to show for it. The worst is when a people live on the glory their fathers and yet the present generation cannot replicate the greatness of their ancestor. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Their great ancestor built great cities as what they pride now as their heritage/brown roof. Fine, lets agree and praise their ancestors for their hard work and a job well done. what of the present generation? what are they doing to reduce the wave of hunger, unemployment,laziness and hooliganism that has ravage their towns Respect to all the hardworking yorubas. The mike adenugas,otedolas,oba otundeku,seun etc but i think the culture of depending on the central government/helper (herdsMentality) and that annoying sense of entitlement has to be revisited, cos it is doing them no good. Again the igbos have been ancient traders, with the advent of colonialism and white collar jobs, they never abandoned their trade. that is why you see they have a very large and domineering presence in the informal sector and they have specialized in all sort of trade but my western neighbor who are farmers abandoned farming for white collar jobs. Everybody wants to go to school but not all want to farm, infact that is the beginning of the decline of the Yoruba economy and the rise of laziness and unemployment 21 Likes 5 Shares |

apcisevil: Do you think that they don't know that Igbos are great people?, they are only attacking us here just to console themselves but deep inside them, they knows the truth. The greatness and prosperity of Igbos makes some people from other tribes in Nigeria to go as far as changing their names to Igbo names just to see if the name will make a way for them. And this is the reason why you see so many drug barons bearing Igbo names even here in UAE. 11 Likes 3 Shares |
