10 Most Educated Tribes In Nigeria by Henryjr(m): 9:29am On Nov 23, 2018 |
With over 370 tribes in Nigeria, it is hard to judge which community has the biggest number of educated people. The government does not count and report such statistics. Still, it is so interesting to know what is the most educated tribe in Nigeria, isn’t it? Educated tribes in Nigeria We have created a list that doesn’t have a specific order. These are just 10 tribes that come from all over Nigeria. Once again, this is just our ideas and we hope that our readers can offer their own views regarding the most educated state in Nigeria and the most educated people. Igbo This community is one of the biggest in Nigeria. There are many farmers and traders among Igbo people. It is believed that this tribe is very educated. By the way, many representatives of this tribe love to gain new knowledge, self-develop and implement creative business ideas into life. Yes, Igbos have many businesspersons among them. There are even sayings that there is nothing good in places where you don’t meet Igbo businessmen. Yoruba This tribe is also one of the biggest in the country. Many of its representatives get high job positions, become professors, and reach other educational heights. Yoruba people often become top managers and lead the companies. Hausa This ethnic group is also one of the largest in Nigeria along with Yoruba and Igbo. This community prefers the life in villages and small towns as well as rural areas. Hausa who live in big cities are educated. They like to explore new spheres and they are good at planning. Many representatives of this tribe are good entrepreneurs. Those members who live in rural territories get a lower level of education. Most of these people cannot read or write and have to work in agriculture or stay unemployed. Urhobo The tribe mostly lives in the Niger Delta area. Just like many other modern communities, Urhobo people follow the trend and gain their education. Many families have their own professors. Edo These people like to migrate. They often go overseas searching for better life. Being highly civilized, they also get a good level of education. Ijaw This Nigerian tribe has many educated people. This is why we have added it to our list of the citizens who are schooled and continue to get knowledge, self-improve, and develop throughout their lives. Itsekiri The community lives in the same areas as Urhobo people. Representatives from Itsekiri tribe also do their best to get an education. If the family leader is not educated, he makes sure his kids would gain the knowledge in different spheres of life. Isoko This tribe doesn’t have as many people as other majority communities from Nigeria. Still, it is known that the representatives of Isoko community do get an education and deserve their place on our list. Calabar Many of us like the interesting intonation you can hear when a Calabar person speaks. This tribe is educated. You can watch Nollywood movies to understand this. Ibibio Is this tribe schooled? Like many other communities, Ibibios also get their education and many of the members know a lot. Many individuals of hundreds of Nigerian tribes do get an education too This includes the Nupe people, Ndoro, Igalla, Jaku, Kamo, and many other communities we haven’t listed. Source: legit.ng |

I was expecting my Ijaw to be nothing lower than 4th in the rating. If it's by per percentage of population, Hausa won't have been anywhere near us. 4 Likes |

Auladimeji1:do u have a data contrary to the opinion there? Or is it another dick measuring beer palour gra gra? The fact that many yoruba men still marry more than one wife in this day and age shows that u are still largely like northerners. Christianity and western culture is so rampant in the east that u shouldnt really doubt this opinion. Islam which is still conservative is high in west which means less women will go to school there 7 Likes |

Henryjr: Your write-up is trash if it was actually written in this order (that is, from most educated to least educated). I am from Delta and I can talk about Deltans. Based on ratio (that is, number of literates vs total population), the Ijaws are the least educated whereas, Itsekiris are the most educated. In case you don't know, Itsekiri is notable for producing Nigeria's first graduate and ultimately, West Africa's. HRM Olu Antonio Dom Domingos, that's why there is a school in Warri called Dom Domingos. Also, Itsekiris were the first to establish contact with White men. Get your facts right. |

Educated or not, is that solving Nigeria issues? So, no need arguing unreasonably. |
Re: 10 Most Educated Tribes In Nigeria by DaFlash: 5:12pm On Nov 23, 2018 |
Useless thread Fulani are the most educated tribe because they have being ruling over Nigeria systematically since beginning of time. The rest are half baked educated tribe. |
Re: 10 Most Educated Tribes In Nigeria by Henryjr(m): 5:31pm On Nov 23, 2018 |
Datazone:I presume you didn't read the bottom line. I didn't write this, I only shared the information. Talking about the ijaws, always remember that delta state ijaw is just a fraction n constitute less than 20% of the ijaw population. To tell u that Hausas are more educated than the ijaws alone should make it clear to your understanding that the analysis is not based on per percentage of the tribe's population. Talking about Dom Domingo's school, that predates our existence. But for a fact, I was a student of COE warri at Edjeba, and usually goes there(Dom Domingo) to play ball. |

With all due respect Igbo is number 2 , However, the Igbos with opportunities are over achievers especially is US and Lagos, they are pacesetters. #UpIgbo #UpYoruba #UpNigeria |

Gloriawinning:lol. Igbos are number 1. And i didnt it even hear it 1st from this list. I watched a 1968 documentry of biafran war made by bbc. The white commentator said that igbos were among the most backward tribe when the british came...but that they embraced education and by 1960 were the most advanced tribe in nigeria. It also said that war time biafra was the best run west african country. Check the documentary on youtube. Its up to 40 mins long 1 Like |

Re: 10 Most Educated Tribes In Nigeria by Henryjr(m): 8:30am On Nov 24, 2018 |
asuustrike1:just be informed that qualitative analysis based on known methods such as expert opinion, survey and Delphi methods are always liable to biases. But to an extent, it can also give a clue about what's been studied and observed. Even quantitative analysis in statistics are prone to biases since they are done by humans. A particular statistician can inflate the figures for political reasons. |
Re: 10 Most Educated Tribes In Nigeria by Henryjr(m): 8:33am On Nov 24, 2018 |
AllahOniJibiti:Unfortunately, the figures u displayed are not depicting anything contrary to what the post says. Always remember that the tribes with higher population have advantage over minor tribes, since it wasn't done based on per percentage of the population. |
