This often-repeated claim of Igbo educational superiority in Nigeria's First Republic has been perpetuated more through repetition than through the support of historical evidence. One of the people that gave vent to this claim was James Coleman.
Igbos we’re getting educated at a very fast pace that made Igbos eligible to be hired across civil service. It was NEVER A MATTER OF DOMINANCE. It was competence.
This is why MERITOCRACY WAS DESTROYED IN NIGERIA. The destruction of meritocracy in Nigeria is linked to Igbophobia

The fight of Chief Obafemi Awolowo was not limited to the issue of Lagos. The creation of a middle belt state and the Ilorin/Kabba merger & integration into western region were also part of his agitations. Zik, as usual, worked with NPC to thwart both.
On November 26, 1953 S.L. Akintola & Arthur Prest openly defended the comments of Awolowo as regards to defense of Lagos and stopping any action by the British and their internal collaborators in the NCNC led by Zik to permanently balkanize Lagos from Yorùbáland.

In 1966, Igbo nationalist soldiers heard the cries of the masses & decided to be the saviour by organising a coup. When in fact, there was no crises in the Eastern region.
The main crises then was "operation wetie" in the West.
