thecommunist:

The whole of Nigeria has only a single nobel laureate, and that is found among the yorubas, so please stop being ignorant. And about the number of professors not being indicators of intelligence, it is noteworthy that most yoruba professors became professors before most universities in Nigeria ever dreamt of offering post graduate programs..meaning that they became professor outside Nigeria, so please stop inferring that it may be easier to become a professor in south western universities,or that being a professor is not an indicator of intelligence. (una wan dey drag intelligence with us again? afterall we no deny nor drag business acumen with the ibos neither did we drag cattle rearing with the hausas).
Moreover, we all have an ideas of what it takes to be a professor in the south south . GEJ is a PHD holder and his anecdotes speaks volumes(and that is the perquisite for being a professor) so i can imagine how professors from south south will be like.
Furthermore, you say a typical yoruba man is a coward because he is never comfortable and always looks over his shoulders when he is outside the southwest, well, you need to get some education yourself because what you just described is called being cautious or suspicious or mistrusting not cowardice...and you should ask yourself why is the yoruba man always cautious and suspicious of you? the answer is because you are not trustworthy!
"Respect does not have to be selective" you say? how convenient of you to say! instead of teaching and correcting your youngsters you are here demanding respect from a people whose elders you are not ready to respect. na wah for you o.
lock that ur dirty mouth.

I was opportuned to study in the west, I had yorubas as my closest friends and room mates, even in my service, I have them as room mates and they are actually the neatest people I have known... But I must say they are endowed with backside grin, they are brilliant and like lots of palm oil and pepper in their food. I love yorubas

I hate generalizing but there are stuffs that I see that I find nauseating and its

1: Using hand and water to clean annus after toilet ..what happened to toilet rolls

2: Its the act of cooking with brooms ..that I find nauseating ..that is why I have not been able to taste ewedu soup honestly ...I have seen them mashing it

3: Next is eating amala and that same ewedu in same plate . It make me wanna puke

4: Then farting

But I believe that some are different cos I have met some really decent and quiet Yoruba dude like my friend Segun

Not all Yoruba are dirty and I know few are neat

In term of neatness I give it to efik
I will reply you one after the other..

1 you mean to tell me you've been to every household in Nigeria and know what everybody uses to clean up their as.ss? Please do tell me oo. FYI, Arabs do that do

2 Try and educate yourself. Those 'brooms' as you call it have never been used to sweep the floor. It is made for that sole purpose. Nobody is begging you to eat ewedu, we can manage it all. FYI, the same way you cannot eat it is the same way I might puke if I taste some Igbo food. So yeah, nobody cares.

3: Seriously, how is that your business Lmao. Wonders shall never end. Last I heard, it is our tradition and nobody begged you to like it. The same way you people eat that goat thingy inside mortars is really disgusting.

4: Lmaooooo!! cheesy So you don't fart? Please tell me more. I never knew Yoruba people are the only people that fart in the universe.

All in all, get out of your hood and experience life. Cos its obvious you're myopic and you see your neighborhood as the whole world.

Re: Top 10 Misconceptions About The Yoruba Tribe by sidecheek(f): 1:26am On Feb 06, 2015
First off, I'm sure it mostly the igbos that'd be spewing this¿but back to te matter¿
*Yoruba Men Love Women: and So¿ so they should be loving men? The only major thing I know tat stops the igbos from marrying plenty wives is Religion¿ scratch that and you'd see those 'aki oyibo' heads with 'oke' looking bodies¿
*Yoruba Women are promiscuous: biko bia! Jut because when asked you'd say, "M di m n'ụlọ" does not make an igbo woman any better. Na for dat place dem dey comot go meet Chijoke for eem shop, shop natural akpu before going home.¿ Promiscuity is in the mind and I don't see why it should be made into a label.¿ If I'm promiscuous, even if I from aba-ngwa come dey live for seminary, bishops go hear wen!
*Yoruba People from Ijebu are Stingy: this has been a saying for a while, I have never experienced it¿ Ijebu is wide though, in this context.¿ But, niggas from odogbolu and ososa dem get gum for hand¿ Just like dem owerri brothers and ikot-ekpene sisters¿
*Yoruba Person marry more than one wife: nedu just married His third wive last week and he keeps claiming that he is a true Owerri man! Maybe una argument go be say cos eem don dey live away from him town¿ As for Hassan, it's more of tradition and they'd rather marry more than sneak around with a mistresses.¿ Dey r bad market!
*Yoruba are dirty: it ad better not be coming from a hair-infested chin and cet of A muscled enugu girl.¿ If that isn't dirty on its own then I don't know what is¿ Yoruba like to impress and show off.¿ Dirty and show-off doesn't come together in a sentence¿
*Yoruba men are lazy and depend on their wife : this part I agree with.¿ Most are a bunc of lazy niggas with egos d size of killomajaro and pockets lighter than feather¿ Na so dem go siddon for house dey command for food when dem no put eem money down! Lazy faggits¿
*Yoruba Men are drunkards: dem no well¿ Wey be say una dey collect beer for bride price join and correct palmie, ddey say sumone b drunkard¿ Taaaaa! We're nwayo there!! Before I vex finish! grin
*Yoruba Men are not bold: they are few of them that are and it's dependent on their persons¿ Being lousy isn't boldness¿ Na me dey hia mentality is.¿ Just razz and plain old annoying¿ Dem kachis dem sabi do that ting wella¿
*Bride Price in Yoruba is the Cheapest: na Goat una wan sell or fish? Shuo!! No be d reason why una dey born 9 children's dey give half education to end up as apprentice for Tochie for lagos? Because d money for marry don build house, na¡¿ To elope get belle sure pass na or...do the other ones na. grin
*Yoruba People are too fetish: says dem nollywood blockbusters with ogwu-egwus.¿ Yeye

paulavon:
It is a misconception that the Yorubas are the most intelligent in the country,there are more intelligent people in Edo and Delta.

There is no denying the fact that most yorubas are cowards and very timid. They do not feel safe outside south-west.

It is a misconception also that they are very respectful,they mainly show respect to their folks and people they know.You cannot see a yoruba person lieing down to greet an elder from another tribe.
dats where u ar getting it wrong.. wat is d essence of prostrating fr sm1 wu doesn't appreciate it?.. sm1 wu thinks a gud handshake is beta... so, wen u get to Rome, behave like romans... I giv respect to whom respect is due tho. and if we don't feel safe outside S/W if because our brodas has made it so, u feel safe in d S/W because u kno there's relative peace.. if d north was peaceful, no 1 will b scared if posted ova there fr youth service.

Other tribes are dirty BUT Yorubas are VERY VERY DIRTY, from Lawanson to Lagos Island to Mushin to Ibadan, I will give them 80% for being dirty.

It is only in yoruba in EKO that u will find a woman that bears 6 children for 6 different men
(Note- all these might have been influenced by the old ways or character, maybe this generation will change all the misconceptions about their tribe since they are now inter-marriages that come with changes)
