Nigerian Bar: Where Are Atiku et al?
+ +
For a long time we have been harangued by
mealy-mouthed commentators from sundry sources purporting to show that Ndiigbo have lost interest in education. Indeed, the term "igbo traders" is now employed by the Ngbati press to give the impression that Ndiigbo are a nation of illiterate businessmen with no interest in learning. The funny looking Atiku Abubakar even went further to claim (without evidence) that Northern women were more educated than the South-east!
Now we have the empirical evidence to evaluate these claims. Table one shows the final results of the Nigerian Bar Final Exams as published by the Guardian-NG.
Question 1: Which single ethnic group predominates in this list?
Answer: Igbo
Question 2: Which single ethnic group constitutes over 50% of those who made 2:1?
Answer: Igbo
Question 3: Which major ethnic group is least represented in this list?
Answer: Have a guess!
Conclusion.
If this sample is representative of
completion of tertiary education in Nigeria, then all those who squawk endlessly about falling school enrollment in Igboland should now shut up. The least these people can admit is that that Ndiigbo in addition to being well represented in commercial activities are also the predominant group in the educational sector in terms of student numbers and completion rates making them the largest and most educated ethnic group in Nigeria.
Truth is bitter. Moaning, groaning or sweeping this robust statistical evidence under the carpet will change nothing except massage the bruised ego of some very funny people somewhere who wallow in self-deceit.
Okwu agwu!
Mz Ani.

Before you buy.

Thanks for your contribution. You have raised some interesting points. I wish to comment as follows:
1. I am disappointed that you have
unilaterally moved the goal post of our discussion, analytically that is. This is typical of you guys who just barge in and prescribe solutions for Ndiigbo while ignoring your own.
First, you guys contended that Ndiigbo were no longer interested in education. Now, we have empirical data to show that Ndiigbo actually lead the educational sector in Nigeria both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Then you move on to raise worries about the future- five years etc. Please note that Imo state produced by far, the highest number of university entrants in Nigeria this year. The figure for Imo state is higher than all the 19 northern states put together, a clear built-in potential for future growth. And yet those northern figures are overwhelmingly Igbo candidates in diaspora. This trend has been maintained for many years running, so what is your point?
2. As for your suggestion that penchant for wealth and academic pursuit/performance are or should be mutually exclusive, I am underwhelmed by the strength of that logic. What are you trying to say? I cannot see for the life of me why an Igbo lawyer or doctor or teacher cannot decide to become a businessman as is the practice all over the globe. It is a matter of choice my friend unless you are one of those who admire fascism. You have not even shown that there is a dearth of Igbo doctors, engineers, lawyers etc as a result of their engagement in commercial activities or that socio-economic indicators of welfare are lower in Igboland as a consequence.
3. The rest of your logic can be ignored for the sheer convolutedness. You have just been presented with statistical evidence about
Igbo leadership in the educational sector in Nigeria. Rather than face the hear-and-now empirical data which is the frame of reference, you waffle on and raise doubts about the nature of statistical evidence, the same evidence you rely on to speculate about the future. Next you throw in the question of abandonment. How can the Igbo be accused of abandoning the education when they are leading in the same education? Now you want Igbo to continue to lead and when they do, you turn around and raise the mantra of Igbo domination! What manner of Ojuelegba logic is this?
4. I look around me in Nigeria and the
diaspora for Africans who have made and continue to make world class and contributions in the arts, literature, fibre optics, biomedical sciences, computing, fashion, sports, robotics, mathematics, medicine etc
and I see a robust Igbo representation, far above any known Nigerian group. This will continue to be so despite the number of Igbo who will engage in commerce and the pursuit of megabucks as you call it. What you should begin to accept is that the Igbo population is far more than you guys are prepared to accept. This is why Igbo lead in education and commerce are not mutually exclusive.
5. Now, what I think you should do is to quit worrying about the Igbo and start thinking about your own group whatever that is and what they can contribyute to the upliftment of mankind, to use your term. You can do so now by paying rigorous attention to the here-and-now emprical data that we presented.
Mz Ani.

Subject: Re: [quincynet] Nigerian Bar: Where Are Atiku et al?
Hi Ummunaa,
I could not help but laugh at your attempt to portray the Igbos as educated
folks! There is no doubt that the Igbos are quite educated. The fear being
expressed by Igbos at home has nothing to do with the current status of
educational performance by the Igbos but the future of education in the
South East. I have quite a number of friends from the Southeast but I
respect their penchant for wealth and the vigor with which it is pursued.
You referred to the recent Bar exams and this raises some questions: Are you
sure the Igbos will be able to keep this 'superlative' performance in the
next five years? How many of the super attorneys will end up in the great
Onitsha market instead of aspiring to the Olympian heights of the
profession--Senior Advocates of Nigeria(SAN)? These deflections and
abandonment of professional practice cut across all professions. Even for
medical degree is considered more for its economic value than the rare
opportunity for excellence and upliftment of the humankind. These are the
fears of the real Igbos who are not beclouded by ethnicity or regionalism
but the actual growth and development of their kins and kilts. Statistics do
not lie. It tells what you want to hear. Your statistics would have been
more helpful if you have shown the performance(decline or growth) in the
last five years and conclude by projecting into the future. The road to fame
and honour is not only in Naira and kobo but could be in professional
fulfillment. I think this is the message for the Igbo young men. My worry is
that the Igbo genius who may make a breakthrough in Medicine, Engineering or
the Physical Sciences may abandon this rare chance from God to seek
megabucks. Honour and comfort lies also in education/academics if you can
channel equivalent energy and perhaps patience in this vocation. You may not
be a millionnaire at 20. We want to see more Pius Okigbos, Chinua Achebes
and the young, articulate and erudite Cardiac surgeon at UNTH. This is the
hope of the Igbos at home and the concerns of other Nigerians. It is not
meant to slight the Igbos. And remember the LL.B is a first degree; not much
glamour any more to the average Nigerian family! Are you surprised?
Kind regards.

bid to improve our society which for Ndiigbo is a public affair, too many outsiders with hidden and hostile agenda barge in and start prescribing solutions for us while simultaneously preserving their own decrepit,
gerontocratic, closed and atrophied systems. Therefore what has often taken off as introspective self-analysis end up as Igbo bashing with all-comers joining in to vandalise the image of a robust but peace-loving people.
This is what has happened in this education thing. Here, what anti-Igbo commentators have
chosen to amplify is a concern originally raised by Ndiigbo themselves about the low level of participation in school structures among males in parts of Anambra State, a phenomenon which is not far removed from
questions of occupational specialisation among segments of Igbo society. Similar concerns have been raised about male education even in Britain, but in Nigeria, some funny people prefer to paper over cracks in their
own countries (e.g. almajiri phenomenon in the north, areaboys in the west) while proselytesing about Igbo society. In-house reflections about male education, this is what some areboy hacks have latched on to
squawk endlessly about education in Igboland, especially as they could not explain Igbo success in commerce. Indeed at the root of the present hysteria is the manipulation of census figure in Nigeria. Having been deceived by falsified Igbo population figures for a long time, people are now bewildered to see
massive Igbo presence which has shown itself in commerce and education simultaneously as well as in urban structures in places like Kano and Lagos. People ought to wake up to the simple fact that the Igbo are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria with large and diverse population enough to maintain a credible lead in several spheres of life especially where competition and merit are permitted to flourish. Now, to your points.
1. You have now accepted the leadership of the Igbo in the educational sector in Nigeria. That is good. Now what you are concerned about or contesting is the ability of Ndiigbo to sustain their performance in the future. This represents a major shift away from your earlier position of accepting the pot-pourri of lies
presented by the Ojuelegba press and sold to the gullible public. You must now admit in the face of overwhelming evidence that the carefully manipulated image of the illiterate Igbo trader is a myth.
2. I still find your logic perplexing, fuzzy and uncanny. First you rejected robust statistical evidence which challenged your preconceived ideas about Igbo participation in the educational sector. Next you raise
worries about the future based on the same statistical evidence. And now you have pulled out mere anecdotal evidence i.e. your own subjective observations about trainee doctors in one hospital, LUTH, and drawn a wholly inappropriate conclusion about the future direction of education in Nigeria. I do not know what you do but please note that there is such a thing as hierarchy of evidence and anecdotes or opinions no matter how strongly held can never be accepted as a valid way of summarising the level of knowledge about
education in Nigeria. You have seen and heard that Imo state alone has been producing more university entrants than the 19 northern states put together and yet you counter with anecdotes about northern trainees at LUTH. Pray where the hell do those trainees originate from? What about all the other teaching hospitals?
3. With respect to school enrolment, it is interesting to note that what is at issue in Igboland is not a decline in school enrolment in absolute terms but male enrolment. These categories are not the same and if the issue is about production of future manpower, then rising female enrolment raises a few questions (a) what is the difference between an Igbo male and female doctor, lawyer etc?(b) what is the comparative figure for male enrolment in other non-Igbo areas? (c) in what part of Igboland is male enrolment declining- Igbo Akiri (Edo), Aniocha (Anambra), Onueke(Benue), Ohaukwu(Ebonyi), Asa(Abia), Obigbo(Rivers),
Okpanam(Delta), Ohaji (Imo), Nkanu (Enugu), Ndokki (Akwa Ibom), or Igboland as a whole? With respect to the first question, I know a few friends who preferred to be examined by female Igbo doctors because of their thorough and caring nature, so if in future, Igbo produce more female doctors, then what? With respect to the second question, statements about male enrolment in Igboland is utterly useless unless comparative figures can be produced for other areas. And third, please note that decline in male enrolment may be
localised to say Anambra state or sections of it which though important does not still add up to Igboland.
4. More fundamentally, the views of Mr Atiku and people like you actually raise some central questions about the workability of Nigeria as a single state. Why? Precisely because neither you, Atiku nor anyone else shedding crocodile tears about Igbo male enrolment has taken into account the position of women in Igbo society as compared to say Hausa women. It is true that in Mr Atiku's country women are married off at the age of 13 to some rich alhajis where they are locked away in little concentration camps with the sign ba shega (no entry) at the door. It is equally true that in Edo State and other areas young women are bred and sent off to Italy to earn money by prostitution. But the position of women in Igboland is rather different in that women have traditionally been empowered to take on high status roles including those of doctors, lawyers, teachers etc. For example, Igbo women were the first to challenge colonial paternalism, taxation
without representation etc thereby forcing a fundamental reassessment of colonial rule in Africa (cf. Aba Women's War, 1929). During the Biafran war (1967-70) Igbo women donned their combat fatigues and joined the men in the trenches (video footages available). In a recent interview, Gen. Ojukwu informed us
that when Biafran scientists developed a new weapon system, two Biafran girls volunteered to test it etc. It is ridiculous to impose Hausaman s view about his woman on Igbo people and vice versa. So clearly increasing female enrolment which portends disaster for Mr Atiku and other chauvinists in Hausaland and
elsewhere is perfectly normal for Igbo people. Therefore, if Nigeria must remain a single state, these attitudinal and other variations among the constituent nations must be recognised and accounted for by public policy.
4. Finally, you started this discussion with doubts about Igbo representation in the educational sector. Then you cast doubts about the value of LL.B degrees when you saw a clear Igbo lead thereby betraying a loathsome attitude which lurks just behind the surface of your writing. Next you changed tact and claimed that the graduates would not practice anyway until your attention was drawn to the question of individual autonomy and choice. Then you turned around and pointed at northern trainees at LUTH which turns out to be candidates for the same first degree which you earlier dismissed to be worthless in Nigeria! Throughout you have continually moved the goal post to suit your agenda which I suspect is to prune down Igbo achievements to a level that match your fantasy, using school enrolment as a convenient mask. You have relied merely on anecdotes and low quality data, showing interest in statistical evidence only where they c!
!
onfirm your preconceived notions. Let me remind you that there are over 15 universities and numerous other tertiary institutions in the Igbo culture area and there are thousands of primary and secondary schools of all shapes and descriptions (unlike in some places) and if you can convince me that the students of those institutions are overwhelmingly female, non- Igbo or ghosts, I will believe your dire predictions. If not, wake up and smell the coffee: the Igbo are the largest single group in Nigeria and the most educated too. The Igbo population is large and diverse enough to maintain a lead in both commerce and education in Nigeria for the foreseeable future. And whenever there is any international honour to be claimed for Nigeria whether in computing, arts, fibre optics, fashion, medicine, sports, biomedical sciences, literature, mathematics, engineering etc, Ndiigbo (both male and female) will maintain a robust and imposing
presence.
Hoo haa!

> Igbo leadership in the educational sector in Nigeria. Rather than face the hear-and-now empirical data which is the frame of reference, you waffle on and raise doubts about the nature of statistical evidence, the same evidence you rely on to speculate about the future. Next you throw in the question of abandonment. How can the Igbo be accused of abandoning the education when they are leading in the same education? Now you want Igbo to continue to lead and when they do, you turn around and raise the mantra of Igbo domination! What manner of Ojuelegba logic is this?
>
I don't wanna get deep into the discussion now. However, I would like to make one or two points to the above statements of yours.
First, your statistic covers just one single profession and mind you, there are hundreds if not thousand other professions too.
Like the other guy rightly wrote, your statististic is just too raw. If the advanced world have based arguements on such raw statistics, they would not be where they are today, where I assume you want your people to reach and even surpass.
What education do you have? Merely mentioning those who have an upper or a lower 2nd class says little about the actual performance and quality of study indeed. I think the practice field is the better judge for that really.
Let's see how you've dominated education, get more and insightful informations. Your covering of one field among many is not representative enough.
BTW, you wrote somewhere that the Igbos have supplied by far more elites than all other groups in Nigerian in different fields in the diaspora. On which statistcal background do you base your arguement? Have you done headcount of all Nigerians abroad? Well, my friend, I know of lot's of Nigerian who are doing incredibly well but who remain modest. You got to get the statistical figure of Nigerians living abroad with their profession, earnings (monetary and non-monetary) listed.
Have a G'day like the Aussies would say!
