Afonjas dragging feet with Igbos as if Igbos are their mate. They were up all night yesterday searching, searching, searching for a yorubaa who was accepted to ALL IVY league schools, they couldn't find one, so they had to go with this with mostly non Ivy schools. Afonjas...get the difference between the Igbo performers 3 yrs in a row accepted into ALL IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS not one or two as this beautiful young lady.

Afonjas stop dragging feet with Igbos, they are not your mate! If you are man enough to challenge Igbos, agree to separation as confident Igbos are demanding, between God and man, you will know what Igbos are made of...What Israel is doing to arab nations will be a child's play to what Biafraa will do to Oduo Republic and Arewa. Any attempt to misbehave, we will strike your coneheads with Biafraa made weapons back to Togo and Benin Republic. Don't hide under evil, wicked One Nigeria where Igbos are marginalized to drag feet with Igbos.

YonkijiSappo:


catch up my ass.
We outperform you in the UK, Even with a much larger sample size.
lol,y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Fulmigati:

When the truth hurts, the next stage is denial to cope. You'll be alright

Fulmigati:

It matters little. Btw, why didn't you post the complete last paragraph in that report? It mentioned a disadvantage faced by Igbos and you conveniently cut it off . Still we were dusting you guys in previous years.

Obamaofusa:
Everybody knows Igbos are trying but not in the league of Yorubas who are up there educationally home and abroad!They have people who had consistently broken world record which no African has done by scoring 5 point perfect scores,having about four youngest phd holders in the world!Igbos do not even near the yorubas in all these!You only have 3 people entering all Ivy schools which I know yorubas will cancel very soon because of their versatility!Too many laurels in the kitty of the yorubas for them to be compared with the Igbos!

YonkijiSappo:


which disadvantage?
Aren't we comparing brains again? Abi are the Igbos in Nigeria a different specie from those in china? You aren't even addressing all my salient points, just talking rubbish. In what world does one compare a sample of 100 to 900 students? for the sake of statistics , it might be acceptable, but it actually isn't/

Fulmigati:

Read the last line of the report you posted or atleast provide a link to the nairaland thread you got it from.

igwebuike01:
Remove this nonsense consolation thread by afonjas, she was not accepted by ALL IVY LEAGUE. so this is not news

Fulmigati:

You people only sabi lies and propaganda Igbos are way ahead in every educational data reported. These are facts.

Obamaofusa:
We are talking about the real thing.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Why will they cry when they have produced more than that?

Kenshiiii:
Wow!! 14 schools including Harvard, Princeton, University of Chicago, Duke, Cornell and Stanford! That's a lot. Aji se bi Oyo la n ri, awa o kin se egbe baba enikan

Yet! this is small fry to us . I saw some people from the land of the rising Mark Nsukabags sharing Gala/fanyogo on some threads few days back mentioning Yoruba all over the place lol. Lmaooo they actually think Yorubas are competing with them

Kiiiiids, call us the day you produce a Nobel and 10 Grammy award winners then we can talk. Y'all still beneath us. Facts! Please don't get carried away . Applying to all Ivy league schools is a choice. It's not necessary when you are sure of getting into the one you applied to

BetaThings:


What do you guys actually gain from this internet rivalry
Celebrate the success of the Nigerian who incidentally would never work in Nigeria and move on

Hundreds of children have perished and more are still in danger across the country and you guys don't challenge the government about that
Ponder - some of the children that are dying might the first for some families after more than 12 years of marriage
Some Nigerians who are equally good would not have the opportunity to complete UTME form

We should not be wasting our time on stuff like this or BBN if we truly desire a bright future for Nigeria
We should focus the attention of the government on
- protecting the lives of Nigerians, especially the babies; it is not enough to defeat Boko Haram
- Nigerians living here should have the opportunities to receive high quality education; people who finish sec school in Nigeria don't get these multiple offers

Meanwhile I congrat the two - Ifeoma and Olawunmi - for their success
I can use them to confront whites who believe thy are the only ones who matter
At home, no!

Obamaofusa:
They will cry because they do not have four youngest phd holders in the world like the Yorubas,they do not have people who had consistently broken the world record of having 5.ocgp home and abroad etc.What you have are just 3 people who had been called to all 8 Ivy schools and a Yoruba girl just got called by about 16 universities including 6 IVY schools,if she had put in for the remaining 2,she would have gotten called by all of them because when you get called up by Harvard then the others follow suit.She beats all the three because she was called by 14 universities!WOW!!!!!

YonkijiSappo:
Hahaha, some people are dying of hate o! see them all above and below me ooo!
6 Ivy list schools and other top notch Universities such as the University of Chicago on her list , but to them, those are all still "mushroom schools", simply because the girl in question does not have huge 'yam legs' and a hairy upper lip.

Una go cry tire today.

Customer80:

Just give me the equivalent of okonjo iweala former World Bank MD
Sandy Okoro World Bank Solicitor

I don't need a soothsayer to know these clowns are from the land of the rising Mark Nsukabags . Clowns that don't know Stanford, Duke, Cornell, Harvard and Princeton are all Ivy league schools. Not like we were expecting anything different from y'all tho. E dey una body .You people should just do fast..

InyinyaAgbaOku:


You got it all wrong.
The Igbo teens have been admitted to all IVY LEAGUE Plus others, some reach up to 20 in total.
It's just that in USA, Ivy League matters, so it becomes the crux of the matter. Africans don't apply to only Ivy leagues.
Otherwise, go to YouTube and watch the interviews of the Igbo teens, theirs surpass 14. You got 5 Ivy League from one student, igbos have 8 Ivy from 4 students.
No comparison.

As for educational exploits, biko, leave it for Igbos. If we start talking, we won't finish.
Just manage your 5 Ivy League student.

What else? 3 out of the four Igbo stars are proud Nigerians from their speeches.
Yours probably don't even want your association

TheVictorious:


Okay true, but I think there are some yoruba ones I'm forgetting to account for. pls help.

Obamaofusa:


Why have the Igbos not ever been able to make any educational mark in Nigeria and Africa like the Yorubas.They should prove themselves worthy not been stagnant in USA as if they are doing a kind of EXPO like their miracle centres WAEC results


Yorubas have made it in Nigeria,Africa,Russia,USA all over the world etc

Igbos will do anything to be at par with their Yoruba seniors.

Godprotectigbo5:



i like d way u dey break ur words to them

InyinyaAgbaOku:


How they want to compare this to Igbo serial ones is ridiculous to them.
Africans dont apply to only Ivy leagues. They are too expensive, they do so hoping to get scholarships from any of them.
Otherwise, those Igbos actually applied and got admitted to non Ivies.
I didn't even see MIT in their own, it's not Ivy League but it's prestigious.
All igbo teens have MIT.

What they posted here is nothing special, just a vigorous Google Search. It's so common among igbos and Americans that CNN doesn't give a damn.
CNN only steps in when you get all 8ivy leagues and others.

Obamaofusa:


Why have the Igbos not ever been able to make much educational mark in Nigeria (except their dubious WAEC miracle centres thingy) and Africa like the Yorubas.They should prove themselves worthy not been stagnant in USA as if they are doing a kind of EXPO like their miracle centres WAEC results thing


Yorubas have made it in Nigeria,Africa,Russia,USA all over the world etc

Igbos will do anything to be at par with their Yoruba seniors.

when it come to education in africa igbos are boss

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Aside running down Leventis, UAC, early banks, railway, aviation industry, civil service, in the 80s and 90s, which mark has yoruba made in Nigeria ?
