Again, I just want to be frank and objective. I be yoruba man
I honestly don't believe yoruba have any fantastic record, Emeagwali one of the world's foremost scientist and computer genius is Igbo, Bath Nnaji top 2 robotics expert in the world is igbo, the list is endless. Igbos are very hardworking and highly focused, many of them occupying enviable professorial seats in top US schools, many of them in Top investment banks etc. What ever steroetypes be people associate with igbos is not peculiar to them, no man is an island on oits own.
Until we begin to see the best in each other, Nigeria will continue to retrogress, again no one is better than the other, let Yaradua sort out ND issues once an for all and not make flimsy excuses. Activities of militant in the ND is not peculiar to NDs alone, dig into history and see what Irish IRAs did to england, it is only shows reaction to marginalisation and neglect, at least 10 -15 years before now we did not have such unrest and militancy.
Let govt spend money on education NDs, build good roads, make the extra effort to develop the region where we get 90% of our revenue. More importantly let govt accept that they have been unjust to these people
Until govt does what is right, oil production may eventually stop.
Nigeria will be great again, let all be fair, let all be just, let us not embrace prejudice, None is better than the other, the best of yoruba, hausa, ND, igbo etc can only make the best of naija
Peace

Looks like I've missed out on this one. But I'll still try and chip in something.
All of the Godforsaken people of the Northern and Western part of this country should cower their heads in shame. I will come back to deal with all you lot who turned this greatly blessed country into a greatly impoverished one! Lousy lazy lot!,

why do we complain when white people racist against us,when you and i know that tribalism is also the same thing as racism.I think Nigeria number one problem is tribalism and not corruption. We are all Nigerians, no tribe is more superior than the other. I am Yoruba, I agree that Yorubas and Hausas have a domineering spirit, yorubas are arrogant and they know better than anyone else.
I also do not agree that Yorubas are more educated, that was in the past, I don't have accurate statistics so will not go into that, I hate sentiments and i like to be objectives, basing statements on fact.
Yorubas think the whole of Nigeria revolves round them, Govt should face up to the realities ND problems and solve it, rather they make excuses and shift blames.
Guys let us go and research about other oil producing countires (at least the ones whose govts are functioning well) ND indigines needs to be given preference, thats how it is world over,
Forget about the rubish about them not being educated, I graduated with loads of niger deltans with good 2;1 degree in engineering, yet they did not get any special prefrence.
My post seeks to admonish nigerians to to slag each other off, none is better than the other, work hard, get a descent education and let govt do more tobring more opportunties for ND people
Yorubas and hausas are no better, I am no better than anyone, life is about opportunities, govt shoud strive to spread equal opportunties.
Nigeria will be great, we are one, lets act as one.
You are a true Nigerian and this country will be a great nation if only we have 10 people like you,God bless. |

The problem is not Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Tiv, Ijaw etc it is the fault of a group of people from different parts of the country, despite all the "tribalism cards" being played by them, anybody who can read between the lines will notice that when they are exploiting the general populace they will be silent, it is only when they have been sidelined by their fellow thieves/oligarchs that they will go to their people and stir them up using tribalistic sentiments.

for GOD sake can some one mention just one name of a northerner that is in control of an oil company in Nigeria, the truth is that the Yoruba's are the ones in charge, they are selfish and greedy, the igbos and the Hausa still have a very long way to go in occupying key positions in the private sectors of the Nigerian economy

Why is it that most of the traders in Alaba are Igbos ?
Why is it that most of the money changers in Nigeria are Hausas?
Why is it that most of the Cow sellers are moslems ?
Why is it that most of the area boys in lagos are Yoruba ?
Why is it that most of the blind,lame,cripple beggars are from the north ?
Why is it that God made them male and female ?
The Whys are endless, and the answers also
