Yoruba people followed Awolowo who delivered so many achievements and so many Firsts in Africa and Nigeria.
Yoruba people followed Tinubu who wrestled away Yoruba land from the corrupt and incompetent PDP. Today, Tinubu's men are the best performing governors and states in Nigeria, at lease his pick in Lagos is the most productive leader in the history of Nigeria.
On the other hand, the tribal leader ibo people followed blindly if I should day led them to a dead on arrival war that necessitated millions needless deaths.
The same tribal leader eventually left them for dead on the battle field to have a good time in Ivory Coast.
Till this very second, Yoruba land is still the Number 1 dream destination for ibo people for obvious reasons.
Ibo people should sometimes say thanks to the same tribal Yoruba leaders for making Yoruba land a welcoming, productive and conducive place for ibo people to to thrive and earn their daily bread from.

The only place that use to be the apple in other nigerians eyes from other regions is lagos because it was the federal capital of nigeria and presently the federal commercial.It was developed with the early booming oil wealth of nigeria by enterprising nigerians from all the nook and crannies of the nation.The yorubas were able to lay hold of the chairmanship of most the multinationals because they are supposedly the indigenous people of the land and companies always find it easy keeping control of their activities by making the indigenous people figure heads. Aside from that,ordinary enterprising people on the streets of lagos that keeps it buoyant are mainly non yorubas and that is always very vivid during festivities like christmas when the igbos and others travels home.Everything shuts down and lagos becomes a SEMI ghost town.

Ojo madueke is a bush man that is been deceived by oyinbo language like most folks of his generation,the generation of lazy intellectuals and irrational academicians.If he actually understand what sophistication means,he wont use the word to describe any tribe in a primitive nigeria where prolific rogues like tinubu rules the roost.A lawless society.

Gbawe2:


Shut up and take a good look at your hateful image in the mirror for once !!! Why is it exclusively you Igbos who are now trying to discredit Madueke because he said something which many have stated about the Yorubas universally? Why are the Hausas, Fulani,Kanuris, Ijaws et al not in dissent when anything positive is stated about the Yorubas yet it is you people who are always fundamentally pained to the extent you wade in with your hateful and bitter comments when you can just ignore the topic and move on?

Furthermore, you guys have nauseatingly perfected the art of hating and vilifying the leaders of others 24/7 whereas you never say anything about the numerous bigots,crooks and thieves you parade as leaders. People like you are the biggest hypocrite walking the earth. Go and blame your hateful forebears who chose to keep the hate against others alive, through one-sided and vile indoctrination, rather than coming here daily to make a fool of yourself. I just feel sorry for people like you because it is obvious you just act and talk senselessly and aberrantly, in opposition to everyone else, without even pausing to think why you do such.

barcanista: There is something called Cowardice

tit: Excellent speech by Ojo Maduekwe.
The Yoruba are sophisticated in culture and politics.

heavenmade: it is not cowardice. In the words of the Nigerian Military,it is termed "tactical retreat"

Ohamadike42: Saying that Igbos are envious of yoruba is fallacy and uncalled for, why should we be envious of yorba? What did u achieve that Igbos has not achieved? I think its the other way round.

Dreambeat: @OP,his name is Ojo MADUEKWE.

heavenmade: how do u mean? Does that make him a Yoruba man or what?

arresa:


This is a lie on your part simply because they ibos are all over Yoruba land from Lagos all the way to Osun. There are ibo communities and enclaves all over Yoruba land with their Eze Anozie just settled a 17 years long Ibo leadership tussle in Ibadan with a court order..

There are too many ibo communities and too many Eze in Ogun state that the state had to step in to bar them from using the Eze title in Ogun state..

suregurl: i lyk my race

musicwriter: This's absolutely correct!.

I read a book on pre-colonial Africa that suggested what this report said but I wasn't sure so I decided to conduct my own research few months ago to prove or disprove it. Note that the research is part of a wider project that I'm currently working on how to lay the foundation for teaching sciences in African schools in our native dialects and I'v been conducting several research works online and offline. I made some of the reseach right here on Nairaland. The research is found on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1820035/simple-test-africans-only

In the above reseach I simply asked Nairalanders to name "parts of the body" in their native languqge. Believe me, only a Yoruba man was able to do that!.

Unfortunately, some of us that throws up intellectual topics or debates don't get heard on this forum but loud mouths and people who have no real value to offer always manage to have their topics on the front page.

If Africa was to be destroyed culturally, the Yorubas, Hausas, some tribes in Gabon or near that southern basin, a part of Ghana, some tribes in Benin republic near Quiddah and some part east Africa that speak Swahili may be the only real Africans left.

Yes, the Yorubas are one of the most culturally advanced tribes not only in Nigeria but in Africa!. This's based on facts from my own reseach not sentiments. If you doubt it then solve that simple test above.

I'm an Igbo man for your information.

OdenigboAroli: But when Uncle Jona said Anambra is the brain box of Nigeria the thread went up to 100 pages of Yoloba moaning and grinning....lol

ba7man: There are "facts" and there are "personal opinions".

"Yorubas are the most sophisticated ethnicity in Nigeria". FACT.

If you disagree, mention the ethnicity you deem worthy then. Igbo?? Hausa?? Fulani??

"Anambra is the brainbox if Nigeria". PERSONAL OPINION.

An environment is the sum total of the mental effort of the inhabitants within it. Look again at Anambra and tell me that's where the best brains are located in this Country.

Lucasbalo: Nigerians unite, there is no room for tribalism if u want nigeria to move forward. This worthless politicians are taking advantage of the tribal division to run the country down to the pit of hell.

eluquenson: Yoruba people are the real elite of this nation, they are liberal, educated to the core & social.

heavenmade: In a speech at the Afenifere Renewal Group in Ottawa,Ojo maduekwe confessed that the yorubas are the most advanced in Nigeria.He said "This does not diminish my Igboness,the Yoruba is The most Sophisticated ethnic group in Nigeria." He further said "Rather than confront the yorubas,others should learn from their sophistry"

Yoruba are the ones who fought for independence from Britain best but can't fight for independence from Nigeria.
Pathetic
