Dude, slow your roll. Yorubas don't have the best results WTF, Igbos don't have the best results, every group has people who do well. The only ethnic group that consistently doesn't have good results is Hausa

And Onyiiboy, every ethnic group has indigenes that have achieved. Soyinka is the only one who's got a Nobel Prize for literature, so I don't see how you can claim Chinua Achebe is proof that yours is the best literature. Look at the names of all the Nigerians who've written world famous novels and an overwhelming number of them are not Igbo.

I can go through all your points. Nollywood sef, all those Amata, Ejiro them are not Igbo. And they were the force behind Nollywood. In fact, its the stupid Igbo marketters that are destroying things now.

The rest about being most interesting, most intelligent etc etc is all FALSE.

Ok, lets start off with the assumption that his statement is bigoted in nature. You responded in kind. What does that make you?

my point is ...if anybody is going to be first...best believe it is the Yorubas...but in the interest of peace in NR...i am going to ignore your post and make believe we all have equal accomplishments.

There's always one conspiracy theory or another about how everyone hates your dumb asses.

Everyone knows you are a greedy, selfish lot (I before Others didn't come out of no where).

Idiotic fools now dey claim Jewish lineage. Like are you freaking kidding me?

If you hear the word 'bia' in another language, even if it means tree, that is proof that both cultures are connected.

Seriously, get over yourselves o.

YA'LL ARE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE IGBO'S ARE SMART/INTELLIGENT PEOPLE.. AND WE'RE ALSO PHYSICALY STRONGER THAN THE REST...

AND THEY DONT CLAIM JEWISH LINEAGE YOU FOOL.. THEY JUST CALL IGBO'S THE JEWS OF AFRICA.. YOU STUPID FOOL..

I'm not saying that other folks haven't done anything...i'm just correcting your statement that there's nothing that my folks have accomplished....Soyinka winning the Nobel prize DOES NOT take away from Things Fall Apart being the most recognizable African novel on the planet. Amata and Ejiro not being Igbo doesn't take away from Nkem Owoh, Jim Ike, and the rest of the folks holding it down. And the "interesting" or "intelligent" parts are just a matter of opinion
