Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Igbos are the most brilliant people on earth.
He made this known in an Instagram Live session on Monday, July 8 in response to a question that was posed by a fan on the state of Nigerians in the southeast.
According to him, Nigerians of southeast extraction can be compared to the Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, and Indians all rolled into one.
The veteran journalist also stated that if he were president, he would have started a Silicon Valley in the Eastern part of the country to mirror Silicon Valley, the 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 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."
