You won't see Yorubas trolling the thread with boasts, provoking other ethnic groups but if this were a Biafran we all know how many foolish boasts we would read from clannish ignoramuses.

Yorubas are reasonable people who contribute positively as aliens in other climes and are accommodating to strangers. We don't go about telling our hosts that their land is "no man's land".

I am proud to be Yoruba.

Northerners only claim usefulness in Nigeria,
Its only in Nigeria that u wud see a president put more northerners in his cabinet because to his flawed thinking northerners are more qualified and capable than Nigerians, but on a neutral ground away from Nigeria this people has never achieved anything.
Let them keep deceiving themselves.

Stop exposing your ignorance and acquiescing lunacy for public amusement. You know nothing about northerners and their migration culture. Northerners aren't in the habit of travelling abroad for greener pastures like other parts of Nigeria. They only holiday abroad and study and move back to their enclave to give back to the society what they've learned abroad.

It's nothing of pride or exulting for us to celebrate when a Nigerian attain such strides in the diaspora. Our best minds are being nipped from us by a society that doesn't wish us well and are only interested in depriving us of our astute academicians and here we're ignorantly gloating about it.

Even trying to berate northerners who have resisted in becoming slaves and second class bourgeois to these economic and academic terrorists who never wish Africans well is the height of silliness.

Shameless black apes searching the whole world for African "glory". The same man moved 5000km to become an elected official in a completely different country but he can not move 500km within his own country to become an elected official. Shame on the black ape!

In the last 17 years, southern people ruled the country for more than 13 years of it.

Southern people that ruled were also bad "leaders".

History was made in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, South-East London after a Nigerian man became the first elected African mayor of the community.
59-year-old Nigerian born Mayor Olugbenga Babatola, who has lived in the UK for decades, had previously served as a councillor in the Greenwich district - a position to which he was elected in 2014 for his inspirational leadership style.
In 2015, he became the first African to be elected as deputy Mayor and served alongside current Mayor, Norman Adam.

Babatola will be inaugurated into office as the first African Mayor of Greenwich on May 25, 2016.
"Looking around Royal Greenwich there's much to be proud of. The physical regeneration of our community continues apace, while there are many developments in our economic, social and community life," Council leader Denise Hyland said.
"I was determined that we should open the inauguration ceremony to more local people to reflect on the role our community plays in achieving the successes we have enjoyed over the past year. It is also a way to welcome Cllr Babatola to his new role as Mayor, and to thank Cllr Adams for his hard work and service during his tenure," she added.
The mayor is elected by council members at an annual meeting and the position is held for a year. He or she is the first citizen of the Royal Borough and acts as an ambassador at public affairs and at civic and ceremonial events

Is this not something like the "Eze ndi Igbo of Agege" in Lagos. As far as I know, London has just one mayor. That blond haired guy called Boris....

Anyway, congratulations to this 'mayor' of Peckham.

If everybody run to make Nigeria a heaven on earth. Who will do it for us? The place we all run to (abroad), if they had done same like us by running from their responsibilties of making the country a heaven on earth. Can we be bold enought to go there now? Still on still, there can never be another place better than home.
