You are right. Yorubas are good in rituals. That is why they built okija shrine. They also stationed one of their men, Clifford orji (a Yoruba man) in Lagos to sell human parts. Last time I checked Clifford orji is a Yoruba name..…....thoughtless flaaaatheads.

D most fetish people in nigeria are d yoruba pipo. They top d charts n they know it, it's even a family tin, a man introduces his children to it.

Don't mind us. Our home is sweet; that is why we cannot settle down so much in strange lands. I mean, what is the point in wandering about like a derelict osu when you have everything needed for development right at your finger tip? It is senseless and steupid.

And you don't need to move your entire life and entire family to a a place in order to conquer. I mean, obj, awolowo, tinubu all conquered Nigeria without leaving the southwest. It is not by muscle or by loud chest-beating. It is by brain sense. I mean the kind of brain sense that awolowo displayed to conquer Biafra and the kind of brain sense that tinubu displayed to send gej to otuoke. I'm sure you understand me now. wink wink


D 3 men u listed are a group of sabo. Confirmed...even obj

Dis is d greatest mistake that pipo who live in sw n never step out keeps making...

Somewhat right but 60s? NO. Igbos led in education and occupation of most government and private leadership positions prior to the war...this was the primary cause of the war interpreted as "Igbo Domination". 70s, 80s and early 90s? YES. Why? They; the yorubas capitalized on the war and the damage done to the Igbos; this was part of the reason Awolowo pulled out of the supposed secession plan with Ojukwu..he felt if Igbos were crippled economically and socially by the war, the Yorubas will benefit. That's exactly what happened! However the Igbos have taken over from Late 90s till now with incredible high margin. ALL STATISTICS SAY SO...NOT ME!

Yorubas have always imbibed this "false illusion" of being the the most educated; I called it "false illusion" because it was never based on real merit and staunch competition. Why? The people who occupied that position before them; the Igbos, were crippled by the war, so in a real sense, the yorubas had no staunch competition. They just cruised around thinking they are the most educated. This also explains why the real owners of that position have since reclaimed it.

The analogy I routinely use to explain the aforementioned is: you can liken this to two runners in a race; one yoruba/contender and the other Igbo/a champion. At the sound of the gun, the umpire takes the sounding gun rather than sound it, he shoots the Igbo runner in the leg and then says run. The yoruba sped off and kept running while the Igbo who was injured by the gun-shot struggled intensely to get hold of his footing let alone run. As the Igbo struggled; limping in pain and bleeding profusely, the yoruba kept running without acknowledgement of his wounded rival; thinking he was the faster runner. To his surprise and far worse his chagrin, over time the Igbo who was limping was able to regain his wounded leg back and soon eclipsed him. The yoruba couldn't come to terms as to how the injured Igbo could have eclipsed him. He continue to maintain he is the better runner. On the other hand, the Igbo runner is saying; I'm the better runner, I was the better runner/a champion prior to this race; the gun-shot wound or "the war" if you leave out the analogy did slow me down but never could stop me!
