YORUBAs are not hardworking but in all spheres of human endeavor, including those in which physical hardwork is required, one encounters YORUBA using the brain instead of brute. I call this SMARTWORKING.

So who is a smartworker?

Here is what Rashid Ahmad said.

A Hard worker may be the person who is spending long hours at the desk, actually working hard or hardly working? May be without any specific goal and is he/she actually getting more stuff done in those extra hours is also not clear? Or is he/she simply taking longer time to do something, which could be done in a much lesser time means no time limit sets etc.

A Smart worker is a person who works to accomplish SMART Goals-

S- Specific

M- Measurable

A- Attainable

R- Result Oriented 

T- Time Bound

A Smart worker knows what to do, how to do, when to do and where to do efforts to accomplish the tasks.

This is backed up at the different points of contact with YORUBA. They have an innate (inborn) response to strategize and derive means from which specific tasks are followed to achieve goals. One sees this in the individual, family, compound, community, local govt, constituency, state and as well their entire region. It is visible in the executive sitting on the chairmanship of a board or the tout at the motor park, one can even see evidence of smartness in the unemployed omo onile who strategically devised a way to live through unregulated taxing system called egunje.

We need the smartness of Yoruba at the National level to move Nigeria forward.
