Wee u keep kwayet!
How many times will we tell u bigots ultra-bigots dt Yorubas don't do all these religious issh!

The average yoruba family have both christians and muslims in his lineage.

We nor dey 'sleep face d same direction' like una.

Nwokem, face front biko!

franchasofficia:
Majority of Yorubas are good; they have good conscience, but a minority of Yorubas who happens to come from the Yoruba Muslims have a natural hatred for Igbos just because Igbos refused to accept Islam as a religion, so they have been working tirelessly with Hausa-Fulani Muslim Jihadists to make sure Southeast burns to ashes, and to ensure Igbos are completely sidelined in national politics.




What they don't know is that Igbos are bigger than their adversaries and are ready to face their enemies squarely without pretense till we destroy them completely and force whoever is left amongst them to seek for peace.



Unfortunately, the voice of the few wicked Yoruba Muslims who hate Igbos seems to be the loudest amongst Yorubas, thereby making it look like all Yorubas are against Igbos whereas it is just some few inconsequential Yoruba Muslims working together with Hausa-Fulani power brokers to cause Igbos harm in Nigeria, they must fail, nothing last forever, nothing

And maybe 15 to 30 percent of SE population is non Igbo. No zone is more mixed than the other because populations of ethnic groups are specialized in different occupations needed in all the zones.

Yorubas are not having problem with Nigeria, why will they wish for breakup?

They want Yoruba to join them in their senseless war na.

I support this your comment,it is correctly written, Nigeria would have divided if not for Yoruba, I am a Yoruba guy,we didn't hate Igbo people but Igbo people always love to play victim or instigate hatred,had it mean some of our leader in southwest are not selfish, they know the easiest way to go about the disintegration of the country, we benefited nothing being a Nigeria, and each tribe can stand the test of time to stay alone,my cent is,let there be peace even if the separation is not possible yet, spilling of blood will amount to nothing.

Lagos is part of Oduduwa Republic.
Oil money from the old Eastern region was used to build most of Lagos infrastructures.
If 1/100th of the marginalisation of Igbo land by Nigeria's government since 1970 was metted against the Yoruba land, Oduduwa Republic would have been in existence long before now.
Don't mind the legislator Kalu foaming in his mouth seeking for recognition through Yoruba and Igbo names dropping.

South south! What has south south got to do with this?

You think if Nigeria is going to break, they are going to ask you to take what you want, south south is breaking too, as a matter of fact the country will be broken to 5 different countries,

South south
South East
North Central
South West
North
Thank you. Some of us know where the country will be at the end of the day and it is Just a matter of time.
The country will be disintegrated into five different entities with minor adjustments of border here and there.
It Just matter of time.

I have travelled and all I know is that the SE is as mixed as other zones despite that it has no highbrow city like other zones. If Igbos sell spare parts in Ilesa, you find Ilesa people as small scale transporters in Onitsha and as artisans. No group is making more money than the other, you stay afloat and prosper according to luck, planning and foresight. A transporter with a couple of taxis can make money, so also a spare parts dealer. Any of the two markets can get saturated but you have to face the one you know. PH as a city has more SW people than SE Igbos. Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc are all over the country hustling, why then do people think any group may be at a disadvantage if the country breaks up or that Igbos are more dispersed?. Igbos don't travel more than Yoruba whether in Europe, North America or within Nigeria but they do more trading on the overall but what about Yoruba big businesses like Glo etc? ECOWAS is visa free for citizens of member nations and breakup which is the best way forward for the country is more for security reasons than any other. It is after security that we now can talk of prosperity. If the country is not broken up, then they should give state on demand and approve state police then set up a unicameral legislature in which the money you pay up determines your number of seats

May God heal Igboland.

So much obscene blood letting, unprecedented self hate-inflicted political and economic sabotage with so so much work to do yet so many hate-filled and bigoted Igbo online and offline misplace their priorities by poking their noses into Yorubaland affairs/local politics and hating on the Yoruba their host , one of the 3 super majority tribes of Hausa,Yoruba and Fulani in Nigeria.

Kalu is reminding you today that the Igbo have bigger problems that need the attention of you his fellow Igbo, makes no sense to him that you waste your time and dissipate bad energy hating on the Yoruba who are already far ahead of the Igbo and making phenomenal progress instead of collaborating and learning from the Yoruba.

I think the major thing built in Lagos with oil money is the Thirdmainland bridge but Abidjan is now the best city in West Africa. How then has Nigeria helped Lagos?. Today Lagos is the only state that can fund its budget without fg allocations and other states could have done it too and it is not too late. Enugu should have been developed to be at par with Kaduna and Ibadan since all were regional capitals but it was PH that took the spot in the East

I am interested in this and thank you for the information.

Why with a higher GDP, are people from those states found all over Yorubaland, and I don't mean major towns and cities?

By the way, I am very happy for Igbo's to be all over Yorubaland so my question is not from a position of bigotry.

Why are there very few Yorùbá's found in these SE states with higher GDP's? Yorùbá's will travel, not as much as Igbos admittedly, to seek a better life for their families. Hence they are quite a few in Abidjan for example. They used to be in Accra and even Kumasi too.

I genuinely am interested in an answer as to why Yorùbá's, and other tribes for that matter, don't flock to the higher GDP states in Igboland.

That bridge is the major thing. FCT did not extend farther than Apongbon but Nigeria has proved a setback not only for Lagos but for everybody and it may continue getting worse. Without Nigeria, a better bridge would have been built

States in Nigeria have GDP according to population and all zones are mixed largely to the same extent. There are Yorubas in the SE doing the businesses, professions and trades they specialize in just like Hausas are there too

Lagos has always had non-Yoruba visitors and they live in peace with their Yoruba hosts until your likes came and wanted to sow resentment in the hearts of your warm and accommodating Yoruba hosts.

The population of Lagos Colony was analysed into 'Yoruba' and 'Non-Yoruba' tribes in the colonial era :

1. Eko tribe had fallen from 57% in 1872 to 23.6% 20 years later.
2. Popo or Egun tribe was 15.85%,

3. Other Yoruba groups
Oyo - 11.6%
Ijebu - 11.01%
Awori - 9.26%
Egba - 6.05%
Ijesha - 4.32%
Egbado - 3.63%
Ekiti/Efon people - 1.76%

4. Non-Yoruba groups
Nupe/Tapa - 1.86%
Hausa - 1.86%
The Kru - 1.37%.

Do you realise that you came late to Lagos? Just live in peace and respect your Yoruba host. Stay out of Yorubaland local politics. This is what anyone who is wise and wants to make it in Lagos do. shikena
Mr man,i dont need to prove shit to u.D fact that u bliev that anyone who says yoruba people in lagos are xtremely tribalistic is an Igbo means u really cannot reason without tribal sentiments .i wont waste my time.

I have to disagree that "all zones are mixed". There are probably more Igbo's in Ibadan than there are Yorùbá's all over the South Eastern zone in its entirety.

Even with the population proviso you stated, seems clear to me that the percentage of Igbó's in SW is more than Yorùbá's in S of the overall total for each region.

Anyway, nutin spoil. Aside from Obidients, we all want the same thing and are happy to live and let live.

I'll start by saying there are hundreds of thousands of Yorubas in Anambra alone the Yoruba community here is huge nobody makes noise about it even they have obas Yorubas in Awka most of the EEDC and tech guys here are Yorubas majority of the guys in orient refinery ,seplat and other huge firms here are yorubas most of them do have assets here too no body disturb them Infact there have never been a time Igbos attacked Yorubas

even me sef all the pastors brought in my
church branche have been Yorubas we so much honour them here like no one discriminate them

As for we Igbos;

Igbos are cosmopolitans anywhere we find ourselves we don't discriminate that no here is isn't igbo land so we won't invest to make money from there . And it's deeply rooted in our culture one of the most powerful Igbo gods is Ala ,ana , Ani, Ali depending on the dialect of Igbo one speaks which is " land " we believe if we bless the land we come by investing in it, we'll progress there. The place dragging Igbos westward isn't Ogun, Osun or Oyo but Lagos which is the economic hub of not just Nigeria but Africa due to its history as center of national cohesion and economic center.

Every other neighbouring states like Ogun are just getting the dividend of being closer to Lagos just like Asaba is enjoying from Onitsha


The style we Igbos have use that has worked for us is the triangular style .

One business at North (Kano)

One business at West (Lagos)


One in the east ( Onitsha or Aba)

So yes Igbos do set up their businesses in Lagos majorly to tap into it economic strength and population for trade. There's absolutely nothing wrong in taking advantage of economic capability of a State it doesn't necessarily mean you're poorer it mean you're smart so gbon ? grin

I have said it countless times if west think they're as economically viable as they they think why isn't there other states doing well there apart from Lagos ?
which is obviously a collective input of all Nigerians
