Top 10 most educated tribes in Nigeria

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.

How to Attract Girls Without Talking to Them

Finding the most beautiful and poetic phrases to spike your crush's interest isn't the easiest of tasks. But hey, we can't all be Shakespeare. And interestingly enough, most attraction between two people happens way before a single word is spoken. That's right. There are a myriad of ways to get the girl of your dreams to notice you without having to talk to her at all (well, at least at first). Check out this article to learn non-verbal tricks to attract any girl that strikes your fancy.

Part One of Three:
Projecting the Right Look

Build a wardrobe of great basics.Remember: attraction isn't a conscious decision, but it can be triggered by the right visual cues. Paying attention to certain aspects of your wardrobe can go a long way when you're trying to catch a girl's attention. Keep the following things in mind [1] , [2] :Focus on getting nice shirts and T-Shirts in preferably neutral colors (black, white, navy) without patterns.If it's sweater season, get some nice crew or V-neck ones in neutral colors such as navy, white, or black.Keep a nicer pair of shoes for special occasions, and more a casual sporty type for everyday use.Update your look with cool jeans in darker washes. Those are so versatile that they can even be worn on dates.

Pay attention to how your clothes fit.This is crucial; even if you followed all of the steps above, if your clothes are too baggy or ill-fitting you might go un-noticed. So make sure to enlist the help of a friend, or a sales associate, to help you get a second opinion on what looks best for your body-type [3] .Dress shirts. When you turn your head, the collar shouldn't turn with it. If it does, it means the shirt is too tight. The seam of your shirt should hit you right at the shoulder bone. Remember: you don't want the shirt to fit so tightly that you can see every detail of your upper body, but you also shouldn't swim in it.T-shirts. Here, too, the seam of your T-shirt should sit at your shoulder bone. Depending on your body type, you might go for a slim fit or regular fit.Pants. You don't have to opt for a slim fit, but avoid pants with pleats. They are a bit outdated and give the appearance of extra pounds on your stomach.Jeans. In general, stick to straight of slim fit jeans (even if you're hesitant at first) and avoid boot cut jeans.Visit a few stores. If you're not already pretty comfortable with fashion, going to a few clothing stores can go a long way. You'll be able to get a feel for those trends you like and for those you don't.

Wear clothes that reflect your personality. Making an effort to show you understand trends can leave a lasting impact. After all, many women do like fashion! At the same time, you should avoid piling on every fashion trend you see. Just make sure that however you update your wardrobe you still feel like it's you. Note: a gradual transition might work best for most [4] .Take a look at your current wardrobe and pick one or two aspects you feel comfortable changing right away.Incorporate something that is very you. Are you a big 49ers fan? Adding some of their color-scheme to your wardrobe might make you feel more comfortable with the transition (yes, even if those colors aren't neutral).

Start your transition. It can be quite unsettling, and even difficult, to change the way you've been dressing because it might have become part of your personality. Just remember, change can be exhilarating, too!Just do it. Sometimes, overanalyzing our style and wardrobe can delay our progress. Instead, make a timeline for the various steps involved in the transformation.Commit to changing your style. Verbalizing your decision to others can have a powerful impact on yourself and can drive you forward.Get rid of any obstacles to your wardrobe change. Just laying out your clothes the night before eliminates excuses the next morning, e.g. I had no time to coordinate my look.

Part Two of Three:
Defining Your Body Language

Be aware of how you move around.Here's the deal: the way you move your body says a lot about how secure or insecure you are. Simply being aware of this can make your movements more appealing to a girl [5] .Walk slower than you normally would, and keep your movements controlled. Such actions indicate that you're comfortable with the world and yourself.Take up some space. Lean back and stretch out your legs. Think of it as marking your territory.Be aware of your tonality. Though it's technically speaking, it's a huge part of body language. Slow down your talking speed, and maintain steady volume.

Don't be afraid to be touchy. Slow down: we don't mean that you should be inappropriate. But not being afraid to express emotions physically can signal warmth and comfort. After all, attraction is an emotional response.Pat a pal on the back.Hug or shake a friend's hand to greet them.Don't be afraid to stand a little closer to other people than you normally would.

Be mindful of your body's posture.Nothing suggests insecurity more than slouchy shoulders and an inclined head. Think about doing the following actions to adjust your posture [6] :While sitting, pull your chest forward, and roll your shoulders back. Keep your head high.Walk with your back straight, and your head up. Take measured steps, and roll your shoulders back.

Make eye contact. Don't be afraid to look around the room. You might catch her eye, in which case holding her glance for a second longer can establish a connection[7] .Keep your gaze on the horizon while walking. Doing so makes you appear more approachable and sociable.Don't be afraid to be expressive through your eyes. Widening them in surprise, or narrowing them when you're skeptical, shows that you're engaged and paying attention.Smile genuinely. If you're feeling extra confident, you could try a cocky smile.

Part Three of Three:
Focusing Your Attention

Look rested and put-together. If you're tired or had long night, it will show the next day. Take pre-cautions to always look fresh and rested, and make sure you look, well, clean [8] .Be sure your eyes are clear and white. Use eyedrops to get rid of the redness. Your eyes will look more awake and clear within seconds.Take care of your finger nails. Keep them short and clean.If your hair is buzzed, you might not have to do anything. But if it's longer, make sure it looks styled and clean.Take care not to go overboard with cologne. Some women might not like cologne at all, or they could be very sensitive to strong scents.

Be aware of your environment. Different locations will require different attire. Especially if you've got your eye on someone. How you dress when you're going to a club should be very different than if you're going to the library [9] . Let's take a look.If you're going to a club, stand out by dressing in a more casual way. Every other guy there will probably be very dressed up. If you're not, you'll automatically project ease.Note: we're not suggesting you wear your ratty gym shorts. Think a cool pair of jeans and a nice T-Shirt.If you're going the library, chances are every guy there will be in their ratty gym shorts. This is a great opportunity to go in looking put together.

Have a task at hand. Showing that you're a focused guy can be a very attractive trait as it signals commitment. Plus, it gives her the opportunity to observe your mannerisms from a safe distance [10] .If you're in the right environment, and you play an instrument, do it! What girl doesn't love a musician.Going to a coffee shop? Bring a nice briefcase with your laptop in it, and dress business casual. Signaling that you're there to get work done can come across as determined and focused.

Pay attention to the people around you.Whatever environment you're in, if you're talking to people make sure you're active in the interaction. It's not just polite to them, but will also signal that you're capable of paying attention to the people in your life[11] .Use head-nodding to confirm you're hearing what the people in your group are saying.Periodically shift your center of focus by looking around to the other people in the group.Don't take out your phone while someone is speaking. This signals disinterest and rudeness.

Police In Florida Arrest 11-Year-Old Girl Who Wrote A Note Threatening To Shoot Kids & Teachers In Her School.

A 6th grader has reportedly been apprehended for writing a note that contained a threat to commit a school shooting – the pupil is from Davie, Florida which is close to Parkland, Florida.

Adding to the tragedy and fear surrounding the Florida community, and the country as a whole, the news comes only a day after the tragic school shooting by a 19-year-old male killing 17 people.

The girl claims another student forced her to place the note under the office door to the assistant principal and according to the police report, the 11-year-old can be seen on a surveillance video placing the handwritten under the door.

The student has produced a written confession after being confronted by authorities who say the girl was visually upset and crying as she was being questioned.

In the confession, the student claims that another girl threatened to have another friend fight her. Under physical threat, the writer of the threat was pressured by the girl to place it under the assistant principal’s door.

The student was taken into custody by Davie police and put in the Broward Juvenile Assesment Center. Her identity is being withheld because of her age as she is still a minor.

SHOW THE LIGHT; BEAM FELIX IDIGA

For the last couple of years, The Mo Ibrahim Foundation which annually confers the most outstanding leader award to African leaders who have distinguished themselves in the art of leadership, has refused to confer the award on any of the present African leaders reason as cited by the foundation is that none of them is worthy. But, does this translate that they're dearths of leaders in African? Read on. 

It's true that leadership in Africa is currently being led by those whom politicial profiteering has become an unquenchable vision- Men whose drive is their personal enrichment; the prosperity of the nation becomes a lesser issue to that of themselves. It's also true, that Africa has obscured their best men from assuming leadership positions. Men who have created wealth and jobs for their communities without being in an elective leadership position. Men whose fecundity is unquestionable and whose loyalty lies always with the people. Men to whom leadership is natural have been edged out of leadership positions by nitwits and scrupulous elements in the society

Chief, Felix Idiga is one such man. Chief Felix Idiga is the Chief Executive Officer of JAFAC Group an indigenous group he founded in the 80's when must of his mates were still seeking government patronage and singlehandedly built the group to become one of the highest employer of Labour in Nigeria with little government support. Chief Felix Idiga is a visionary whose love for economic emancipation of the African continent is unmatched. He understands that leadership is both an art and a gift conferred by the almighty- reason why he sees the service to his people like a holy injunction.

Chief Felix Idiga is a leaders leader. A principled and effusive leader who constantly keeps a vigil in search of solutions for his people. He understands that leadership is a rent we must pay to our community for birthing us. He perfectly knows that leadership is all about the people- that's why without being in an elective leadership position, he has done more for his people than those in government. Like Felix himself will say " Praise be to God always for giving us the grace of being able to do his works"

If Africa must rise above it present darkness, she must allow the lights of men such as Felix Idiga beam to illuminate all corners of our community and create prosperity. The antecedent of Chief Felix Idiga foretell an exceptional leader, a philanthropic leader who will go any length to alleviate the suffering of his people. It's said that the taste of the corn is in it pudding. Chief Felix Idiga who has shown excellence in community development must be allowed to come forward and take up leadership positions. 

With men like Felix Idiga in leadership positions, I'm certain that our community will be better for it. We have a moral duty to cajole and plead with natural born leaders like Felix Idiga to take up leadership positions, only then can we expect growth and prosperity in our society.
