Chimpazine you are finished! 
Did you check the statistics of states revenue in 2008? Lagos State single-handedly generates 1.05 billion dollars and follow by Kaduna State with roughly 280 million dollars. Then, all our eight States except Ekiti State generated more than 10 billion nairas. All your Aba "Japan of Africa,"  Enugu State "Dubai of Africa," Onitsha "London of Africa" disapeared. Only just one state generated 10 billion nairas. That's why I called your region moochers of the nation.[color=#006600][/color]

I will help to list numerous things Oduduwa people have done, please would you reciprocate me what your tribe has done for Nigeria?

Stupid native doctor. You jass has affected your brain and you are now running mad, but you don't know it.

Who cares if Bola Tinubu is Igbo or from Niger Republic? Blowing your brains out with your fetish concoctions will not change the fact that [size=14pt]Tinubu is a convicted drug pusher[/size]. Period!

Abi your jass dey do you like drugs?

This is to all ibos to read and digest for me

To let you convince beyond a reasonable doubt that Yoruba’s superiority to Igbos is not by accident; and it’s a corollary which started during the time of our fore fathers. When you are culturally inferior that doesn’t speak enough volume about you?   
Then, I said if those facts are not enough, I would show the achievements of Oduduwa traits before modernity.

1) They formed the language with largest number of Idioms, proverbs. The number of consonants and vowels is more than the ones in English Language. Also the language with most stress and accent marks more than Spanish and French! Prove me wrong?
2) Yorubas were the first to urbanize. (Built strong structure with mud bricks, while your troglodytic people still living in the caves).
3) Due to early urbanity, they produced woven fabric (Aso ofi or Aso oke) through warp-and-waft method, while many cultures practiced walked butt-naked or sometimes with banana leafs wrapped around private parts.
4) They discovered the first (almighty formulae to solve puzzles) which is called Ifa Divination (which still continues all around the globe).
5) After Sumerians people of river Nile (which flows backward) they were the second to carved out canoes; and the first to travel across Atlantic ocean down to North America.  Christopher Columbus got to America 1449 (by the time they had the first National census in Luxemburg, Germany) and one of the warriors in Chinese dynasty said, he had sailed down there seven decades before Americans; with all that being said, they found a trace of trades between native Americans and Africans, with the astonishing life-size head of Obatala’s sculpture erected in America (which through carbon dating test, dates back to 709BC).
6) Discovered the medicine that puts Yorubas on the map up to date as the only tribe in the world with highest rate of twins birth or multiple birth.
According to archeologists' record, Yorubas had the highest rate of art and culture artifacts and relics in Africa besides Egytp. Including the headless scupture of NOK headless fertile woman. Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, the greatest modern sculptor and carver of all time, called the NOK headless relic sculpture (one of a kind and genius of African arts.
7) They made the first bassuka Local guns to curb internecine wars
They built the first organized society with a complex king, chief and warrior's clans.
9) The artifacts and relics they left behind made IFE arts to top the life in Africa
10) As the toll of modernity takes ancient cultures to the brink of extinction, Yoruba idols keep resuscitating all around the world.
11) The made the first significant drums (bata and Kudi), these drums still top the list of African drums. During the slavery, these beating drums were banned in America; they were beaten with connotations that made slaves formed rebellion against their masters. This why five Yorubas top the list of drummers of all time all around the world. Tony Oladipo Allen was among them. He had beaten drums for Fela Anikulapo and Victor Olaiya with numerous white bands around the world.
12) the cowries their first money for trade and barter before foreign intrusion, which later used to make decoration of gods; still survived up to date.
13) Oranmiyan staff erected in Ife long before discovery of North America, formed the prototype for a national monument in Washington DC. Oranmiyan used his staff to commemorate his warriors, USA uses “NM” to salute its falling heroes or solders.
14) The beads of old ages still valuable
15) Through their unique grout and chants (they influenced Jazz, Blues and Hip Hop).
16) Then, [b]due to their genius in their tim[/b]e, they imbibed in us the best legacy, which I called innate knowledge.
This is why Yorubas stand out everywhere around the world in Education!

@ Chisco or Chimpanzine




Thank you , but you got to know that Yoruba people made Nigeria what it is today.

In education, they are leading!
They built the first primary, secondary and university in Nigeria
Ondo state has the largest number of primary schools (920) and Secondary schools (220)
Ekiti State has the largest number of professors in Nigeria
The only two competative institutions are located in SW.    

In politics,
1) They had the first polical party in history of Nigeria (Nigerian National Democratic Party) (NNDP), founded by Herbert Macaulay the grandson of Bichop Ajayi Crowther.
2) The second political (National Youth Movement (NYM)) this party was underdog in 1938 and upset NNDP.
3) National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) founded by the same Herbert Macaulay in 1944 at the age of 79 and due to his ailing health reliquished the mantle to Dr. Azikwue.
But alot of Igbos don't even know about the history of NCNC, because they grew around it, they thought it was created by Igbos. They even boosted that NCNC won more seats in Western region that AG. Since NCNC was created by Yoruba man, that was why the Yoruba moguls like M.K.O. Abiola and co poured Billions in the party to go against Pa Awolowo's AG. Then, Awolowo told Abiola that he would not get there too.       Herbert Macaulay's family had so much histories that have one way or the other impacted Nigeria.
Herbert Macaulay's father built the first secondary school in the whole Nigeria
Herbert Macaulay's grand father,  Bichop Ajayi Crowther, the first African bichop
Herbert Macaulay', the first Nigeria Engineer, he also single-handedly kicked the British out of Lagos and Nigeria. He was the first Nigerian to contest elections with British government in Nigeria and won three times back-to-back in Lagos.

In culture

Ife arts are the most sophitiscated relic to ever come out of Africa.

In religion
The first and foremost religion ever known to mankind ORISHA, we Yoruba created it, it's a prototype for other religions like Islam, Christianity and Buddishism.
We created Ifa (Oracle) which Greeks, CHinese, India and e.t.c.wanted to steal from us. Yoruba Ifa divination odu is the most complete in the world it has 256, Chinese's I-chang only has 8 and Greek radian has just 4.
I called Yoruba Ifa, the father of modern computer.     Yoruba Orisha religion, it's the only religion that came out of Africa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_religion

Why Igbo people are claiming they are Catholics and doing mua mua kissing under pope and also playing third world country fiddle under pope. We Yoruba people created our own Christian religion called "Aladura." They have spread all around the world.
1. Christ Apostolic Church

2. Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim

3. Church of the Lord (Aladura)

4. Celestial Church of Christ

After all these churches in the same 19 century some other Yoruba founders surfaced again and spread christianity all around the world. Deeper life church founded by Pastor Kumuyi is the third most populous church in the world. Then, redeem (RCCG) is there too.

Tell me what church in history has Igbos founded that made it to the world?

Dis thread is not meant for ethnic abusement, But with what i notice abt d first statement i.e (BabaPupa)what the Guy said isn't Bad, For some guys that bring in the issue of Tinubu,pray u should make it in life as tinubu has made it, I believe one thing, u will hate someone for what he does that is similar for what u too does, And can anybody stand boldely and said he has not steal or play runs in his Life? U are all Mad, As for the Igbo's, u guys are the most worthless and hopeless creatures i have ever seen, Imagine, lagos was ranked the Richest in west africa, and the richest in Nigeria, lagos make abt 10-58.9 Billion Dollar monthly withoout Selling any Natural resourses and u fool can even stand up and say Rivers, to hell with Rivers and all Igbo, Fools

latch:

I really don't know why young guys should still be bringing up all them tribal hostilities, its about time we leave all that for our parents to (in Gods time), pass away with.

Having said that;
@okokomeji ,  i know you put in a lot of effort into your write up. I'm really not interested in verifying them, nor digging up what ibos have done. My simple answer to you is this: the Greek, Arabs, etc invented a whole load of stuff way back in history, does that now make them more advanced than, say the United States? or havent you heard the saying: "I get am before no be property"

I really hope that you don't go around basking in some utopian belief that your superior to all ibos, cos as far as I'm concerned, an extreemly thin line stops me putting you in the same class with akigbemaru.

Having said that ,

@akigbemaru ,  what you wrote earlier is simply one of the most ignorant things I have read on this forum. If thats what and how you really think, I'm actually shocked you have the ability to get yourself online. One could become dumber by simply listening to you.

May God have mercy on your soul.
