Shine It: As am ND man and on behalf of Naija youths

I hereby declare Eze Ikengawo the

gburugburu of the Yoruba people.

FreeGlobe:
Absolute nonsense, all the yorubas championing anti Jonathan campaign are totally corrupt and failed leaders. If they are sincere as you said why did they keep shut during obasanjo's 8 years

Femolacaster: .
Gbawe! I always like your posts.

Ikengawo: The ignorance on this thread is record breaking



Igbos are ambitious, nobody will take that from them but it's almost impossible to convince them what they own is better than what they can possiby own or have and that's what leads to their desperate nature.

Yorubas are fearful, nobody will take that from them either. A yoruba person is not going to risk what he has, even if it's very little, no matter the reward and don't typically think outside of what's theres. Many yorubas don't know there was a civil war in Nigeria.

Dude, you are a loser. Pure and simple. So Igbos are "ambitious supermen" while Yorubas are "unambitious and fearful" individuals with no ability? You are just another indoctrinated cretin and loser who can only relate to life thinking he is some 'superman' , with all the good qualities man can be endowed with, while others are 'mumus' he can ascribe all manners of inferior/bad qualities to. The sad thing is that reality never bears out the lies you devilishly dishonest people tell to put down the Yorubas and exalt yourself.

What is happening in Ghana right now is virtually what we have in Lagos and elsewhere. See the article below and explain to the forum why a "fearful" people with "no ambition" go all the way to Ghana to be good role models beneficial to society and captains of organised business. You should give a good explanation for what we read below or stand discredited forever.

Yet, I can predict you and your idiotic co-travellers, always into mindless character assassination against the Yorubas, will have nothing logical, scientific or fact-based to contribute because you have been indoctrinated to the extent your own mindset revolves around the concept you own everything merely because of how you are more committed to market/sole trading than others. You better raise your own children differently to respect others because I find it disgusting how people like you swallow lies about others and then live your lives telling those lies to yourself and others. You will always make enemies of everyone, even very liberal and open-minded folks who defend the rights of everyone, doing such and box yourself into an isolated corner of revilement.

It is as if you cannot take in oxygen if you do not put down others with lies while ascribing ludicrously flattering supremacist qualities to yourselves no one can establish with cold facts and in relation to on-ground reality. I know Ghana as well as any Nigerian can. What is written below is virtually the same in other sectors whether property development or franchised restaurant chains. The Yorubas, far from being "fearful" as you claim, are always present in organised, big, formal business because they are good managers of men and materials with a tolerant and inclusive 'live and let live' fairness.

You are simply another empty braggart with a petty-trader mentality. If you do not see Yorubas in Makola and Kaneshie Market tussling with Ghanaians for stalls, it does not mean Yorubas are "fearful" or that you are fearless supermen "owners of Ghana" because of petty trading alone. It simply means we have different focus and business interest. Fools like you should learn to note the difference so you can better your lives instead of going around lying you are better than others when the world sees you have so many deficiencies and are not special at all plus no different to an empty braggart loser overcompensating for failure.

While you do your 'homework' call our Ghanaians brethren in to ask them which is more beneficial to them between , for example, tax-paying Chicken republic with the average branch employing up to 30 Ghanaians working shift and a Makola Nigerian sole-trader who operates at an end where Ghanaians are squeezed out with the Government also not benefiting in the way of taxes, increased employment for Ghanaians etc. Go and learn why Ghana wants incoming businesses to employ a minimum number of Ghanaians to note what is appreciated in organised society instead of talking like a bushman who thinks petty/market/sole trading is everything everyone and every corner of the world must be judged by.

jenbost: I am not from south west but it is very important to know that the people are highly sophisticated. their ideology is good for our nascent democracy. GEF would not have been the president without the support of this tribe but he disappointed them in the area of good governance and that's why they are against him. if the president change overleaf, Yoruba will be the first to sing his praise song.

simpleseyi:

Yorubas were the main opposition during Obasanjo's rule . It seems you were not born then because there are many toddlers on Nairaland; if not you will remember that Tinubu fought Obasanjo to a stand still, you should also recall that Yorubas lead several protests against the Obasanjo's unfortunate government. We did not want Obasanjo then and we never voted for him. Obasanjo got to power through South-East, South-South and North's vote. Yorubas voted for Chief Olu Falae, Obasanjo even lost in the polling booth opposite his house. We did not want Obasanjo then because we knew that he was/is a nonentity just as Jonathan and Dame Sheppopotamus are another set of nonentities.

No bi only sophisticated, make we hear word.
Tell me one single Yoruba Leader that is better than Jonathan.

FreeGlobe:
You people are just deluding yourselves in the name of deceiving others. Fact is yorubas are tribalistically deceitful.The yorubas massively voted Obasanjo in his 2nd tenure after earlier rejecting him for Olu Falae during his first outing the same way they didn't vote Abiola initially but are now taking credit for his failed bid. While Igbos were drumming against obasanjo's third therm bid with the north (thanks to Atiku and Ken Nnamani), the yorubas again were loudly silent. what a people.

delvinmaya: @gbawe, really i had a tirade planned for ikenga(who), but reading your post, i realized that you are right. thank you for sparing me the agony of typing a reply, as for @sincere9jerian, really disappointed. goes to show your objectivity is used only when it pays you, cos i just had a change of mind about you. for ikenga(who), get a life,you brain shriveled muppet

Orlando Owoh:
Foolish question.

Gbawe:

My guy, Yorubas and morally upright Nairalanders should abandon and ignore these sort of threads in future. Let these lunatic haters and deluded chest-beaters discuss amongst themselves as mad people do. Is there anywhere in Nigeria today where people, including the hateful elements commenting here, live more peacefully, securely and progressively today than the SW? It shows you the special brand of hatred these people operate with when they take to the net portraying those who accommodate them tolerantly and graciously as the "worst things under the Sun" over and over again.

Why would any Yoruba person want to indulge such hatred? This Ikengawo is one of the worst here as an example of a worthless and lying piece of trash comparable to the most prejudicial nuisance anyone can encounter anywhere. He deserves no audience from the people he hates same as no proud black man will be at a klu klux klan rally seeking to prove anything to the hateful lost souls gathered there.

Ikengawo: lol at sophistication.

The SW functions as so. Nobody wants anyone to be seen as bigger than them. It's very true that if the yoruba are given power, they will turn against whom ever the yoruba in power is unanimously. They don't like seeing the advancement of people like them and the more like them you are the more uncomfortable they are with your success.

This is why the focus is on Igbos and not Fulanis or Hausas. They would rather the Fulani and Hausa succeed because they are strange and distant. If Igbos and Ijaws start to shine they will feel insecure and begin attacking.

The hard part about this mentality is they themselves are too afraid to be the change they want to see. They won't start something, they will do it after someone else has done it and proved it can be done, but when it's time to celebrate they will claim that they did the entire thing themselves and did it the best with no objective means of showing this.


Instead of Ekiti or Osun leading Imo, Anambra, Abia and Delta in education, they will simply say they are the 'most educated tribe' and begin attacking the states that are leading.

Instead of producing their own Achebe, they will write 150 articles trying to breakdown his character despite the fact that he's one of the only africans that have not only outdone the continent, but the rest of the human race that are in his field.


They will also start propping false 'competition' against the person that's 'winning'.

suddenly Dbanj sells as many records and draws the crowd that Psquare does
suddenly Omotola is equal in pay popularity and importance to the movie industry as Genevive Nnaji
suddenly Tinubu is equal to PDP in influence and power despite the fact that he could only deliver 1 state in the federal election, and lost Ondo state to an igbo man headed party that was tried of tribal politics.
suddenly Ibadan is Enugu
suddenly, realizing the entire region is a slum, they're all from Lagos and nobody else can be a Lagosian despite the fact that the governor is from Ekiti and the state has had 2 igbo governors a bini and up to 4 northerners.
suddenly Nollywood is 'igbo' and Yorubawood(?) is equal to it.
instead of being accomdating, they'll claim it
instead of being sophisticated, they'll claim it
instead of being industrious, they'll claim it.



this is crab in a bucket mentality. If you put a group of crabs in one bucket, and one starts to climb out, the rest of the crabs will pull him down.

Believe me, I have an equally extensive list of things i like about the yoruba and I respect them as a people and culture immensely, but im constantly disappointed but their crabs in a bucket mentality and obnoxious belief that other southerners are the enemy. I wouldn't be this critical if i didn't respect them but how is a person supposed to respect a group of people who see the massacre of igbos in biafra by northerners and feel that this was a good thing? or a funny thing?

again it's very easy for the rest of nigeria to see where the problem is coming from.

Wily1Wily:
ok, thank u.
Jonathan is then better than Yoruba Leaders,

Ewarrior: Gbawe has said it all. I'm out!

Orlando Owoh:
A departmental exco in any of the federal universities in the SW is better than him.

Ikengawo: Yorubas have followed Boko Haram and Buhari's CPC who's thugs massacred youth corpers because they lost an election by which their candidate spoke only Hausa believing this his people are entitled to Nigeria as their personal property. They are now following Atiku, who is the first man in human history to become a billionaire working as an airport employee.

I can understand wanting to follow Fashola who is a great man and great transformer and leader. I can even understand wanting to follow Tinubu because he united your people. But Fashola hasn't been visceral towards GEJ. He has little bad to say about the federal government. He has requested state police, a stronger fight against corruption and decentralizing powers. That all makes perfect sense. Amaechi, Peter Obi, Oshiomole, Akpabio, Mimiko, Rochas, and Imoke have all asked for the same. you

But when you start asking FG to pay boko haram, for GEJ not to run in 2015 which is his right as a citizen, calling his wife a hippo, calling him a drunkard, cheering when igbos are killed, supporting the party of Yerima and the Abacha family (ANPP) voting yes for child marriage, supporting the party that massacred youth corpers (CPC), attempting the defame prominent igbos like Bianca by spreading rumors about their sex life, cheering for the death of Chinua Achebe who committed no crime against the yoruba other than saying Awolowo was advocating the advancement of yorubas over others (which you all know is true), cheering for efforts to frustrate igbo businessmen in Lagos, and joining ranks with Boko Haram/supplying weapons and your sons, it is easy for the rest of southern nigeria to realize that the only enemy they have in Nigeria is the 'SW', and that there's nothing objective about their 'opposition' other than the fact that it's based on and born in the advancement of hatred and envy.
