My point:
They are being praised for an Education that is an investment of the British.
Tough to say, but it is a simple fact.

A total British education system- from their KS1-3/ Year 4 to Year 12 years, GCSE, A-Levels, etc.
There is, of course, no Nigerian input in this education.
Why Nigerians are quick to claim them bemuses me. Gosh, dont you find it embarassing?

I don’t find it embarrassing because what makes you a Yoruba or Igbo is more than just geographical boundary.

They are not the first set of people that will spend all their lives in diaspora, we have several thousands of them here in USA that are American citizen who never set their foot once in Nigeria and yet they mostly identify and flaunt the Nigeria heritage.

I’ve seen your past Nairaland post and it showed that you’re just another Yoruba hater and you’re mostly saying this because you thought most of those guys are Yorubas and not Ibos.

Have a nice day.

Maybe u can now eat your words. I will say again I am Nigerian than I am British and most of those students whom I am fortunate to know through LinkedIn connection will probably say same.

But on a more serious note, taking a second look at this list and reminiscing on the history of Nigeria made me sad for some few moments.

To be honest, the afonjazees have messed up Nigeria. So when it comes to hardwork, diligence, knowledge and almost every other important positive HDIs' the Igbos and Yorubas are almost always on the top. But instead of the yorubas to merge together and develop a unified vision or mission with the Igbos in Nigeria, they chose to sabotage the Igbos and at the same time play a second fiddle to the fulanis whom they are in every way better than.

What yorubas Muslims have done to the great Yoruba nation is honestly unpardonable!!

Igbo r political novice their brains has been configured to process Yoruba as traitor .
Igbo always grab every opportunity they have to play second fiddle to Hausa ask zik,Alex Ekwueme and chinko Obi,u guys r slaves to Aboki.its not a news that u hate Yoruba or tell me why Zik and Ekwueme left the great Awo and follow aboki.we don't av Yoruba muslim s or xtians,we r one.Go away with ur divisive mentality

Na this kind news I love to hear, e dey push me to hustle more

Ride on brother, I like your great sense of history. That's the trademark of Igbos when something does not favour them. They know little or nothing about history but want people to believe their lies. My regret as a Yoruba man is that Lord Lugard wouldn't have joined us together as one country, we won't have seen all these shits. They are always bedmates with the Hausas-Fulanis during the first and second republics to the extent their forefathers rejected secession clause in our constitution then which would have made it easy for each ethnic group to go its separate way. The reason being that they wanted to overrun the Western Region at all costs.
Even the Chinese will celebrate this achievement despite their technological advancement talkless of Nigeria a developing/ underdeveloped country of today. As it is presently, China and South Korea still send millions of their students abroad for higher learning in the US and Europe. The only difference is that students of Asian origin often return home to develop and grow the economy of their countries while ours stay put because of bad governance at home. If the list has contained 80% of their tribes, it will be noise all through today but since it's the opposite, envy will rear its ugly head from them.

scholes0:


I already kind of knew from the start that your main grouse with the news is not that this achievement isn't newsworthy, but rather the composition of the achievers.

But back to your fallacious post, if you are a real student of history then you would have known that for most of Nigeria's existence starting from the first republic- Yorubas have always been in the opposition, while the Igbos and Hausa-Fulanis have always been bed partners. But the good thing is that you can't hide the truth, especially when It is glaring. Let's look at the timeline of those who have ruled Nigeria since independence


1960-1963 — Azikiwe/Balewa
1963-1966 — Azikiwe/Balewa
1967-1979 — Civil war/ Military Rule
1979-1983 — Shagari/Ekwueme
1983-1999 — Military Rule
1999-2007 — Obasanjo/Atiku
2007-2010 — Yar'Adua/Jonathan
2010-2015 — Jonathan/Sambo
2015-Date — Buhari/Osinbajo

Now look at the list and tell me when this "Yorubas playing second fiddle to the Fulanis" fable became a thing among you people? Azikiwe in fact neglected Awolowo's handshake across the Niger and instead chose to go play second fiddle as a ceremonial president to prime minister Balewa who had the real power. He also frustrated Chief Awolowo's plan to include the secession clause in the constitution.

On the issue of Southern Unity, did you know that Chief Awolowo picked an Igbo running mate. Yet, the Igbo voted en masse for Shagari, an illiterate Northerner to spite Awolowo and the Yoruba. In fact, the Igbo wanted Abacha to continue ruling, matter of fact, the [Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha (YEAA)] campaign was led by an Igbo man, by the name Daniel Kanu. They even voted against Abiola who had wide acceptance across the board in Nigeria, including huge swathes of the North, and instead chose to support Tofa the Northern candidate whose collabo partner was an Igbo vice by the name Sylvester Ugoh who also happened to be the defunct governor of the central Bank of Biafra (shame). Abiola won in only 1 out of the then 4 Eastern states

—The Igbo had no problem with collaborating with the North when they supported Atiku and Peter Obi or in all previous occasions. They only have issues with Northern collaboration when they aren't the bedmates and someone else is doing the 'collaborating'

lol.. useless and godforsaken igbo tribe in pains over this thread.. No wonder ghanaians are dealing with your hairy asses in their country
Cursed people with no history

Oga, I'm not belittling anything. I'm happy with the news, but I'm just saying it's not something that calls for a nationwide celebration. Celebrating this kind of news makes us even look less serious.

So you're telling me that if say 20 Chinese students or even South African students got admission into a UK Ivy league, while none of their schools is in the top 1000 colleges that these countries will pop Champaign?

Listen, there's something called national pride, and believe me whenever I hear Nigerians talk, I don't get to see that. Infact, if anything, I see the opposite of it.

At this stage, what a nation that had its independence since 1960 should be celebrating is that her citizen got admission in a UK top school. Are you kidding me?? While countries that birthed many years after us are celebrating having schools that run exchange programs with top schools in UK and US.

To be honest, I love this news. But it kinda makes me sick when the west throws garbage at us and we start rejoicing over it. Does that make sense??

Makes sense. Reason is bad leadership here has failed this country in terms of collective success. So, the alternative is individual success and celebration. You can see it in our daily lives. We power our houses ourselves, give ourselves jobs and secure ourselves. These are some of the reasons people think individually here.

Gracchus:
[/s][s]Rubbish!!! Get this straight, Yorubas and igbos have nothing in common, and as such cannot and will never do anything together. To even think you want us to have something to do with people trying to sow religious discord amongst we Yorubas like you just exhibited in your post makes you a big fool. God punish you and whatever tribe you come from mootherfucker!

That is certainly not representative of the Imperial and Durham students that I know.

NB: It is a bit unwise and childish putting your ID card on a public forum. That’s some emotional reaction there— emotions will only get you in trouble. There are no tangible benefits you get from winning or loosing an argument on a public forum where anonymity is the protocol. Trust me, no tangible benefits.

You are hilarious. You saw my posts and ignore the ones where I was praising and carrying Anthony Olufemi Joshua on my head?
You remind me of Hell Ruffy AKA El Rufai.

Oga, I have said this for every human with a Nigerian-sounding name that achieves something abroad and is then hailed in Nigeria. As if the investment was done by Nigeria.
I find that embarassing.
If this post had praised their Yoruba or Igbo heritage, I will have no problems with that.
But praising Nigeria, when Nigeria has done nothing for these ones? That is clearly dishonest.

About the bolded. Go through this thread and start reading from page 72.

Also if you’re truly educated, you’ll clearly see from my first post that I spoke about sample size. We can’t map all the universities in the USA coz that’s rubbish.

What we did is going through the graduation lists of some selected schools and counting the students in those list. I don’t like too much stories, just read the thread below from page 72 to follow the event.

Ode, before you start shouting yorubas dominating the list, just know that the list is not a complete picture of the number of students from Nigeria admitted to UK ivy League, it's just a serialised list - mentioned only few names that suits the fantasy of the writer.

But as usual and as expected a complete list that is not serialised which is the jamb list was dominated by the IGBOS. Forget it, there should be no comparison between Igbos and Yorubas on anything positive in Nigeria.

I don’t know how I missed this comment. If I had known you are another hateful Ibo, I wouldn’t have dignified you with a sensible reply.

I had this kind of argument with one Ibo guy (Tobrasky) before about sampling number of Nigerians in USA universities that are Yoruba and Igbos. When he saw the result of the sampling we both did together, he had no choice than to accept the Yorubas are more than the Igbos in USA universities based on our sampling size.

Go to this thread below, starting from page 72.
https://www.nairaland.com/5788620/what-does-west-produce-compares/72

You will just wound yourself by thinking you can compare the number of Yorubas student in the UK with the Igbos. Either in UK top schools or lower schools, it is incomparable.

Lastly, about the Jamb top 10 students, I think we are both seeing a different list because if you are making reference to that list up there, the Yorubas are 6 on the list out of 13 candidates. Igbos in that list are not up to 4. Also, almost 90% of the schools those candidate chose are domiciled in the SW.

I don’t want to go down this path of stupid comparison today but I just think I should set the record straight with you.

I withnessed the argument that day. They guy really became humble in the end.

GTkester:
^^^^,

First, you should be ashamed that a list with 10 students, has the first and second students all Igbos and no other tribe. That shows respect!!.

Second, you've shown the notoriety attached with your lying people, which is that you guys are good at spinning. That list has only 3 yorubas (non tied) in it, and I'm sure if JAMB was to release their first 100 students, Igbos again will be topping the chart undisputably.

Lastly, you've also exposed your half baked knowledge which is also notorious with your people. There's not a single data any where in the world that has a list of all the igbos and Yorubas students in foreign universities - except a list conjured up from your sorry ass. So how you were able to compare the number of Yoruba vs Igbo students is at best comical. But I'm not surprise, because you guys are just dumb liars.

My brother, you are displaying your stupidity here and you don't even know.

All I see in your insipid epistle is just normal wailing that people know you people with.

Really, you have point and i agree with you. Although, we should be glad Nigerians in diaspora are doing well but it would be more gladsome if Nigerians domiciled at home makes their marks on the world right from here. Just like Okocha and KANU were home grown but good enough to make their marks on the footballing world as against John Fashanu coming back to claim Nigeria.

Mehn, Nigeria, weve got a long way. So Nigerians getting admitted into Warwick, Cambridge, univs is now what a whole country will be celebrating, Even when none of our universities are in the top 1000 globally.

Chai, we can do better.

Not true.
The world is global, where our children go to University is irrelevant so long as we create the conditions that enable them to thrive when/if they return. What is at issue is that there is nothing wrong with our DNA, we have nothing to be inferior about. Pound for pound or kg for kg we are as good as anyone anywhere. The fact that the school is run by a Niverian administrator on a budget that is a fraction that available to schools like Eton, Charterhouse, Harrow, Winchester and Shrewsbury is worthy of appreciation.

Let us never allow our natural cynicism over all things Nigerian masquerade itself as sound logic.

Abeg let us wheel out for the drums for these guys and girls. People who have not been through it do not understand how hard it is to break through the institutional racism surrounding Oxbridge and the "Stone" Universities like Durham and St Andrews.

You are a first-class hypocrite. If truly you are angry at the current state of affairs in Nigeria, that anger should be directed at your Igbo politicians of the first Republic (especially Azikiwe and Okpara) and indeed subsequent ones that chose the North over the West, and repeatedly rejected Awolowo and the West's overture/advances towards forming a political alliance for the purpose of moving Nigeria forward.

This is a great evidence to destroy these people lies.
