Jisunpack:tolerance is different from civilization. Yoruba land is mixed religiously and recently there's beginning to be an upsurge of religious issues. Hausa Moslems are terrorists so I don't support giving them free hand anywhere. When Onitsha became too hot for Hausa traders, we accepted them enmass into Asaba and other Delta cities but if I were to be in power, I wouldn't try such |

okeyfineboy: You should be the one to bring the proof of this your assertion.Everybody knows that Ekiti and Ondo states have the highest numbers of profs both home and abroad.If you want to disprove this,give a verifiable link,screenshots etc.Yorubas are the most educated Nigerians home and abroad followed by the Igbos ...higher institution wise. |

okeyfineboy: You are really funny.This is an opinion of somebody like you without proof. Read it... Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence? Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled “Dwindling Oil Revenue: What Next for Nigeria?” posited that today, despite the pitiful state of unemployment in Nigeria, ironically, the nation is still rated as the third destination of investors and one of the fastest-growing economy in the world. Raji noted that Nigeria is a golden land of numerous opportunities for those who are resourceful, ingenious, creative, innovative, inventive, groundbreaking, enterprising, hardworking, focused, visionary and, most significantly, disciplined. Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today. I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth. The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities. The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos. More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas. Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners. The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops. Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths. Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity. I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease. Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively. In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013. The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D’Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself. Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son’s expected defeat. Victorious Buhari’s teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman. In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.

somegirl1:u see,common knowledge.no ref. needed,biafra was declared in may 1967.even some schoolchildren know this.atleast it was in the paper this year.everyone except u knows that victor was released from jail that month.so the biafran after declaring their republic just folded their arms and didnt prepare?remember they attacked first.all this without planning?u dont seem to know ur own history enough.now what is it they say about those who dont know history?they are condemned by it.ciao |

obaaderemi: I stated that he died two months into the war, which you attempted to counter. The war started in July 1967. This was your response: obaaderemi:Now you are trying to backtrack. Where are your references that point to Banjo having been the inventor or designer of the Biafran weapons? Stop trying to avoid the question. 1 Like |

List of states with the most civilized citizens in Nigeria. The word "Citizen" as used here doesn't mean only the indigines of the state are referred to, but also people who migrated to the state and living there presently. Sorry pls mine is just a few questions. 1. How did your arrive at your results? 2. When, where and how was the research conducted? 3. What were the parameters to evaluate the results if your research that produced this table? 4. Has the poster being to all this states to analyse for himself or this table simply a baseless conclusion? |

obaaderemi: Your source is a yoruba man? Really? One minute you people deny that such inventions ever existed, the next minute you downplay their effectiveness and if you must accept that they existed and were effective, you attempt to steal the glory. I will need another source for this information. Preferably the publication Adetowun Ogunsheye referenced, unless he gave an eye witness account.

obaaderemi:The emboldened is disputable given that what you posted in not just speculation but nonsense. There were several other engineers and scientists in the Biafran army. Some of whom have been credited with inventing the Ogbunigwe, arguably the most remarkable weapon created by Biafra. How then can you conclude that Banjo designed the weapons just because he had a degree in mechanical engineering? 1 Like |
