uselessgoat: Lol. I find the inclination of some Yorubas to hold on to past glory as basis for 'greatness' quite laughable. Being the first to be exposed to the European civilization should never be your basis of being great. If you take pride in being the 'first' to meet the white civilization, in other words, you think of your native civilization as inferior and the European civilization as superior, hence the inclination to celebrate your 'greatness' by being the 'first' to meet the white man. This is utterly poor logic to say the least. During my secondary school days, there was this statement my friends and I used to say, that coming first is easy but maintaining the first position is where it becomes difficult. Because we all used to compete for the first position back in my secondary school. Looking at that statement, it holds true in the outside world today. The moment you lead in an endeavour, due to stiff competition in the world, there are other competitors trying to get to where you are or overtake you. Staying ahead of the competition (maintaining your first position) becomes harder than getting there in the first place. Also, your statement is as false as it can get. In today's scheme of affairs, everyone knows that is totally false. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Raydos: Thanks to Nigeria's oil blocs and favourable government policies and practices. I bet you never cared to find out the source of her wealth and how she became world's richest black woman other than the fact that she is Yoruba. Oil prices and sales are diminishing with no returns (reminds me of the law of diminishing returns in Economics) at an exponential rate. Would you care to observe what happens to her net worth and value based mainly on oil sales and produce as this trend continues? Maybe the Forbes richest list of 2016 may contain different new names altogether. 1 Like |

Olabestonic001: Look at this Yoruba fool. Igbos have to remind you of their achievements because Yoruba tribalism blinds the Yoruba from seeing and appreciating Ndi Igbo. The mere mention of the word Igbo gets every Nigerian interested. Long before we were born, or at least before I was born, a bewildered BBC reported asked the Hausa/Fulani bigot called Ahmadu Bello why Northerners seem obsessed with Igbos, he couldn't give an intelligent answer, he said some rubbish about Igbos being the sort of people that want to dominate everywhere they go. All he could've said was the the Hausa and Yoruba are jealous of the Igbo. In 1966, the jealous got out of hand and ended in the barbaric 1966 anti Igbo pogrom after which Igbos rejected Nigeria and fought gallantly for their dignity against a combined forces of U.K., U.S. & Russian supported Nigerian military. Yet, our people were able to hold that army off for over 2 years! Nigeria can't even survive small illiterate Hausa Boko Haram terrorists. In case you don't know why an Igbo man riding a bicycle in the village can say that he is the greatest, I'll educate you, it's because the Igbo is taught from birth that he is an independent person who is equal to all regardless of his status in society. The man on the bicycle might be a palm wine tapper but he works hard and provides for his family so just because your father is rich or even the King doesn't mean you are better than him! That's the difference between us and the rest. An Igbo is not held back by his status at birth, an Igbo is full of self believe and ambition while the Hausa and Yoruba bow before some old men as if those men are God. The Yoruba is lazy and submissive so he can never be like the Igbo, the Hausa is submissive and dull so he can never be like the Igbo. You come here and say your Igbo woman told you whatever rubbish you wrote, perhaps it's time we ban marriage between our beautiful Igbo women and cheating Yoruba men. Stick to your women and leave ours alone since you Yoruba are the biggest tribalists in Nigeria. Your bigoted leader Awolowo is the father or tribalism! 3 Likes |

oboy3:I will be very glad if u can Google fela.... I don't nid to argue with you. There is no way u will discuss Nigerian politics or military regime in Nigeria without mentioning Olufela especially in 70s and 80. My landlord in cross river where served can sing fela's song from A to z, British govt even fear his thought, Ankrah, formal military leader of Ghana called him "president of the poor" ur cousin nd those u asked abt fela over there in the east might probably secondary school children or born in 1995 upward or not conversant with Nigerian politics 1 Like 1 Share |

bigfrancis21:Good points. But you and your likes must stop deceiving yourselves, there is nothing like past glory. The Yorubas still have their glory with them, till date it exists. Being first(s) is something, the records can never be broken, and they are infinitely motivating. WE ALWAYS SET THE PACE. 1 Like |

The Igbo's are still handicap were Yoruba people are in many diverse areas. We the yorubas must not be arqueing with the the over jealous Igbos. Ask them how many of their state has the best university in Nigeria talk less of Africa. How UI is ranked among the best university in Africa and in the whole globe. They still have the time to argue with us foolish tribe on earth. Our state is like small London to them which means that without us they can't achieve anything. And if not for our university most of there professor wouldn't had been anything . Yorubas are still climbing academic ladder to get to the peak level of excellence till now. They are dying to gain admission to out prestigious University. They don't allow us to enjoy our land Lagos. They like ritual like bad. In fact, all igbo people must leave Lagos and use their business sense to build their state. 1 Like |

[s][/s] Yorubas are not greater than Igbos. Yorubas are just pace setters then Igbos carry the baton from you and lead. Yorubas rely on past glories. |
