Dele Momodu, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), praised the Igbos as the most brilliant people on earth during an Instagram Live session on Monday, July 8. This statement was made in response to a fan's question about the state of Nigerians in the southeast.
Momodu compared Nigerians of southeast origin (Igbos) to the Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, and Indians, highlighting their exceptional abilities.
The veteran journalist also mentioned that if he were president, he would establish a Silicon Valley in the Eastern part of the country to mirror the renowned global center for high technology and innovation.
“I have always said the Igbo are among the most brilliant people on earth. Most of the Igbos can be compared to Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, and Indians all rolled into one, and that is the truth,” he stated.
He further said, “If I were the president of Nigeria, I would rush quickly to the Eastern part of Nigeria and start a Silicon Valley — it is not rocket science. With the Igbo in two or three years, there will be a technological revolution in Nigeria. They will be able to build their airplane. They will be able to produce their vehicles, they are already doing it.”
