Hatred On Igbos A Wasted Effort And Time For The Yoruba by Nobody: 1:44pm On Sep 21, 2017 |
Greetings, my fellow Nairalanders. I hope this piece hit FP.OP. Now let's reason together and think about my counter views on Igbo bashing as expressed below. Before you stone the Igbos, ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo, festac, ago palaceway, ikotun, Apapa and Oshodi in Lagos. Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them? And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa. Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned. So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society. The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education, but we may be worse that the Fulanis who just roam around the bush. Why? Because we lack the entrepreneurship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8am to 5pm job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without showing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious. We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spay money like coffetti . Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income gathered for the year? The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gatherings. We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show who's God is the most miraculous. So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years. Tell me, is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoja Akintola University? Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi? Even Lagos, there is nothing to write home about it, despite all the hype. But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods, after some years they will take over and become big boys even here in Lagos and in their father land! There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and lands. True, some of them are criminals which is not different from other tribes the Yoruba and hausas! but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures away, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sundays in church wishing and praying for divine miracles. How foolish? How many yorubas are in Igbo land hustling? How many of our youths can boast of having their own house at the age of 35? Huh? as the Igbo people are meeting and strategizing on Sunday, so that they can gather money and come and buy the houses and lands owned by our Yoruba fathers. Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly. It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa Republic. Afterall, the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos? We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their can do attitude. They are lovely people and they are willing to carry you along in successful business if only we can embrace love and stop unnecessary hatred! The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris' in the North. In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos. Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society. How sad for the Yoruba Nation. ��� 28 Likes 5 Shares |

By allowing the Igbo to become millionaires on their land shows the magnanimity and openness of the Yoruba. How many yoruba or hausas have made 10% of that money from Igbo land? Is this not telling enough that no one hates Igbos? Use your head to think...( Abeg some help me with the appropriate meme biko) 12 Likes |

Campusity: Based on your logic everybody is then magnanimous as the Ibos have become millionaires everywhere from Lagos to Port Harcourt to Abuja to Kano. If it was about magnanimity as you want us to believe, why don't others own 90% of the hotels in Abuja or the building materials or eletronic shops? Or was the magnanimity extended only to the Ibos? 19 Likes 2 Shares |

PapaBrowne: Which Tribe is most widespread in Nigeria today? Tell me it's not Igbos. If you are that hated how come you are welcome in other lands and the courtesy is not reciprocal? That other tribes didn't buy hotels is immaterial. The issue is they (Igbos) persued their business interests without hindrance. 19 Likes |

You need to wean yourself off this infatuation with Yoruba. It will be very strange indeed if noYorubas responded to any of the negative comments directed at them on social media by Igbos and Nnamdi Kanu. Most Yoruba don't wake up everyday thinking about some guys selling electronics in Alaba. 15 Likes |

Well for your 411 most of them died,when they got old and replaced with young brilliant entrepreneurs, business magnates, billionaires, leaders of the business conglomerates in Africa to mention a few. Ogunlesi of Gip in us., Karl Lawal in Texas, richest black man in Texas, Femi Otedola, Adenuga, Kola Aluko, Omokore, Wale Tinubu, Ayeni, several business moguls litter Yoruba space, about 45% of the managing Directors of Nigerian banks are Yorubas, arguably about 40% of senior advocates are yorubas, ten richest Nigerian lawyers are Yoruba's, Yoruba young entrepreneurs are building armoured vehicles, Jac assembling vehicles, Obasa motors, building tabs, phones, laptops, etc real estate industry is in firm grip of yorubas,. the list is endless, so op why should any one be worried about the fries we pan out to IBOs.

Yorubas got too familiar with them, that is why they are misbehaving. Thanks to Kanu and his hate speeches, Yorubas can now see their real nature and feelings towards others.
