In your decrepit mind, Yorubas are aversed to doing business, right?


No wonder the biggest business men in Northern Nigeria, and indeed in the whole of Nigeria, are of the Igbo extraction. cool

Whatever floats your boat mate!

It is a bit sad. No wonder any time there is wahala Northerner wants to turn 'em into suya meat.

As I've said earlier, arrogance is a terrible disease. And in a place like Nigeria, dangerous too

Sometime ago, you said you are from Kukawa LGA in Borno state, I can't be precise now. In that Kukawa, how many Yorubas do you see compared to Ndigbo. In Borno, you have Yorubas who are mostly civil servants while Ndigbo are in business as well as  in civil service all over the state and other regions. Do not take away this gospel truth.

ha ba andre i do not go around asking people what ethnic group they are from

but from their names and dress sense i can tell if he is igbo or northerner/yoruba

now i am speculating that the population of yorubas are more than igbo becuase of various reasons

1.) they have muslim names
2.) they have 2 states in the north
3.) most doctors in the north are mostly of yoruba/hausa extract
4.) in densely populated markets they sell clothes eg lace etc

also igbo are easlier from their names

1.) specialist
2.) civil servant
3.)traders
4.) some are even surgeons and co

so it all depends on the point of view

That was funny. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Seriously, living in Nigeria, you'd think there were only two ethnic groups, Yorubas and the Hausas. But, on NL, it is as if Igbos are the only people in Nigeria.  And its mostly from people who have no idea what they are talking about, unfortunately.

HABA, WHY DO YOU PEOPLE LIE JUST TO PROVE A POINT?

HOW CAN ANYBODY SAY YORUBA ARE MORE IN THE NORTH THAN IGBOS, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN KADUNA AND MY FATHER OWN A SCHOOL AND HOTELS IN KADUNA(MY FAMILY IS VERY INFLUENTIAL IN THE NORTH, WE EVEN SPECK HAUSA THAN IGBO). THEIR ARE WAY MORE IGBOS THAN YORUBA IN THE NORTH, INFACT IN KADUNA THE ONLY PLACE YOU WOULD SEE A LOT OF YORUBAS ARE IN A REMOTE AREA IN KAKURI(STILL IGBOS OUT NUMBER THEM THEIR). EVERYWHERE IN THE NORTH IGBOS OUT NUMBER THE YORUBA INCLUDING JOS, THE REASON WHY PEOPLE MIGHT THINK ITS EVEN IN JOS IS BECAUSE MOST IGBOS STAY IN THE SUBURBAN AREA(BECAUSE OVER TIME THEY HAVE MADE MONEY AND MOVED FROM THE CROWNED AREA TO THE RICH AND QUIT NEIGHBORHOOD JUST LIKE ROCHAS OKOROCHA WHO MADE HIS MONEY IN JOS).

bros, just because you see a man who you think to be fulani, kanuri, or hausa does not mean he is any of the above

he might be a northern yoruba

he his name might be IBRAHIM MOHAMMED etc and dress like an hausa/fulani

he might even be speaking hausa but ask he might still be yoruba or nupe or even igala

we are not aguring about the igbo population which we all know is large

but we are saying the yorubas int he north are more than the igbo

Are you insinuating that Yoruba are turncoats? From the “suya meat” comment by ekt_bear and your post, it is safe to conclude Yoruba had hands in the murder of Igbo and other ethnicities of the south in northern region.

Anyway, I do not need your utterances to realize it.

no i am not saying anything as such

all i am saying is that a yoruba man with such atributes can escape from a riot

you also have to remember that northerners are killed as well in such riots

so it is best we avoid them in all cases

Alj Uche,
Leave them, they will keep arguing with you because they are not interested in understanding what you are saying. and didn't remember that the yorubas are both xtains and Muslims. so how would you recognize a Yoruba Muslim in the north?? they might not be Hausa as most of you guys think

SMH

if you can not listen to the voice of reasoning here then i am sorry for you

when you said you lived in kaduna for years and so on, was it only igbos you noticed

did you not notice hausa/fulani kanuri igala, nupe people

now in the hausa fulani kanuri you saw, there are yorubas in the mist of them but you and i can not know until they tell us there identity

unless you are claiming that igbos are more than fulanis in the north now

well are you ?
Re: Yoruba The Golden Bride Of Nigerian Politics by pcmadu(m): 12:13am On Apr 09, 2011
^^^^^
their are other tribes but its very easy to knw the different, except you want to say the hausa/fulani are foolish not be able to differentiate their own ppl,

by the way when yoruba man speck hausa its very funny(most hausa ppl always laugh at them) which you should also knw.

I surly knw the diff between Hausa man from yoruba,  if you dont knw, hausa ppl dont consider yoruba muslim as real muslim-- the kill them as well during any violent and thats a FACT

I am an Mbaise man and trust me i knw the diff when a see my fellow Mbano, Owerri Okigwa or Orlu man(note that we are all neighbors in Imo State). The same apply to the hausa,  sokoto man speck differently from a kano man

Tell me where you are from so i can knw if u are really from where u clam you are,  i am out to put you to shame

You are not an hause/fulani man because those ppl are very proud of their heritage and culture as the igbos, they would never clam what they are not
Re: Yoruba The Golden Bride Of Nigerian Politics by redsun(m): 12:25am On Apr 09, 2011
But it is quite a glorious thing that d igbos are not ''majorly ''and officially playing part in d systematic destruction of a what is suppose to be a union. Who is proud of being barbaric and unproductive?

It's because they're not opportune to. I believe Igbos have been clamoring to be part of that majority of "being barbaric and unproductive".

I guess the Yorubas are supposed to feel hurt at this "revelation" an Igboman conjured out of his azz nuts.

How is the revelation that Hausas-Fulanis laughing at Yoruba "accent" (from your ) an important aspect of the thread?

There are so many religions in Yorubaland for example: Guru Masharaji fellowers, Grail Message, Eckenker, Hare Krishna, Islam, Christianity, Ifa etc. Nevertherless, a Yoruba is a Yoruba. Even if he goes to the Mosque with Hausas, that does not make him Hausa. The difference is very clear.
