Radoillo: Nice. The online ethnic fights have always baffled me. I sometimes want to believe its all in jest. In real life, I've had the most amazing relationship with Yoruba people. My extended family has inter-married with Yorubas, and 6 of my nephews and nieces are half-Yoruba. Wats ur say about the 3 million who perished cos betrayal from our dear friends ? Do u think those souls will spare u if u ignore and put aside wat they suddered in matters like this. Seems u don't understand wat really happened. Our bossom friends saw us as pple standing in their way and wanted to seize d opportunity provided by the civil war to annihilate their powerful friends. Thank God, we survived and we are progressing. Yorubas are good pple and co-operative but we only demand apology and acknowledgement of their mistake for the sake of those lost souls 2 Likes |

500GP: HAUSA - BOKOHARAM Yoruba brain my foot....old statistics. That's the problem with yoruba people; always using old statistics. The Igbos have overtaken you guys. I'm from Cross River and we(other Nigerian tribes) know this. The Igbos lead in every educational excellence in this Country....NECO, WAEC, even simple COMMON ENTRANCE and highest amount of intellectuals in government. The Igbos intellectuals and technocrats run the government. Obasanjo a yoruba man wasn't stu$pid to surround himself with Igbo intellectuals. Yara'Adua wasn't stu$pid to surround himself with Igbo Intellectuals. Likewise Jonathan is not stu$pid to surround himself with Igbo intellectuals. Can you explain this? Yorubas are educated in mouth while Igbos are educated in deeds....you see them running things. We Cross Riverians and Akwa Ibomites love our Igbo brothers and sisters, and can't wait for a United Republic soon to happen. The building towards re-unification is taking place... https://www.nairaland.com/1469421/kalu-invests-massively-eastern-nigeria 20 Likes

[/color][color=#006600][color=#006600][/ce author=tonychristopher]By 2030, Yorubas will become minority in Nigeria and even in South west as Igbos and Hausas have taken over all the business opportunities because the acclaimed native (Yoruba) are NATURALLY very lazy to their bones". Its always sad when an entire tribe receives insult or their character unearthed due to the insanity of one individual whotechnologiesclaimed to be their son, but might be fathered by unknown hired Niger Soldier during the Nigerian - Biafra civil war. When Lagos was the capital of Nigeria Hausa/Fulani and igbos invested hugely in Lagos city. After the shift of Lagos as capital of Nigeria to Abuja, they took over the economy of Lagos from the British. From onset, Yorubas were only busy dancing Owanbe in the streets of Lagos and Ibadan. Till date, their lazy bones couldn't allow them invest and assist the boost of Nigeria's economy. Hausa and Igbos took over South west economy from British not from yorubas and its never by force or with arms but by economic skills and strategies built through progressive business mind. The Simple fact is that, they took over the economy because majority of yorubas are very lazy and few educated ones among them only want a white collor job where they will be accountants or useless lawyer for the Hausa and igbo rich men. Let us specifically give some of these ignorant Yorubas commons sense analogue and idea about Igbos economic dominance and Hausa business and agricultural progresses. Igbos did not see Yorubas in Benin republic to dominate the market there, Igbos did not see Yorubas in Togo to dominate economy there, Igbos did not see Yorubas in Ghana to dominate economy there, Igbos did not see Yorubas in Ivory Coast to dominate economy there, eithier did Hausa see Yoruba before dominating Saudi Arabia, Niger and other part of the continent with their agricultural products and trades. Igbos did not see Yorubas in Nairobi Kenya before displacing Indians there to dominate their economy, Igbos did not see Yorubas in China to dominate all the shopping malls at Guangxillu in Guangzhuo China. Hausa did not see Yoruba before dominating Money Exchange trade and gold businesses. This list may be endless. Igbos and Hausas/Fulani are very hard working Nigerians. QUESTIONS In what trade or fields are Yorubas famous?. What are their contribution to Nigeria economically?. Average yoruba in Lagos state is a street taut or thug. Majority of dirty houses in Lagos are owned, and occupied by Yorubas. Big masions or companies in Lagos were own by Igbos and Hausa. RESEARCH RESULT by Independent body; 74 percent of investment in Lagos are own by Igbos. 5 percent by Hausa/Fulani, 15 percent by Foreigners(Non-Nigerians), 5 percent by other Nigerians(Non Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba), 1 percent by Yorubas (which include Mike Adenuga). Igbos and Hausa are not only living in Lagos. Igbos live in the east, in the north. Hausas live in the east, west and north like any igbo. Yorubas are very few in other part of the country. Their laziness never allow them go far. Of course, they can't go to Kano, Port Harcourt or Enugu to do Alaye job. The problem here is that Igbos migrate more than others and they are been tagged criminals even caught Yoruba criminals most times claim Igbo. Igbo are followed by Hausa, but Yorubas never migrate like them to have experience and see things for themselves. That's why Hausa and Igbos can make better united Nigeria. Though few Hausas can speak Igbo and Yoruba language, but majority of igbos speaks both Hausa and Yoruba very fluently. While Yorubas hardly speak both. In some cases, very few yorubas in Military service speaks unclear Hausa language. The true is the good migration among Nigerians and doing business or trading improves our nationality, unity and languages. It boost our economy too, but Lazy bones don't. They sit tight at home and gossips. As America, Asia are dominated by Igbos, so as Saudi Arabia is dominated by Hausa, and they are all doing businesses there, and doing them well. They invest every where and in Nigeria. UK is dominated by lazy Yorubas who do nothing there but claimed schooling while majority are just mere taxi drivers or plate and car washers for Westerner. When they can't feed their families with good job, they go on trafficking cocaine or coming back to Lagos where they will join their brothers on Area boys business collecting money or begging money from Hausa and igbo productive people. As Hausas are interested in politics, so as Yorubas but the difference is that Hausas still do their businesses and farming; feeding the nation day and night, the Yorubas do nothing but follow politicians up and down and hang in the street of lagos for Agboro job. Their youths are always going around waiting when an Igbo or Hausa will buy Land or build house for them to walk with their lazy bones for what they call "Alaye. Fee". Which is more of begging or silly claim to be owners of the land. Yorubas sell of there lands but leaves inside Lagoon or Canann where water flush them and there families away during raining seasons. They leave most in very smelling dirty places and most times their toilets is inside their cooking pots. The igbos have left politics since 1967 and now only interested in boosting Nigerians economy with their wealth of experiences in trade, education, technology and science. Since we welcomed Democracy in Nigeria, they have not been politically wise or interested in politics. If we know the igbos in Education, Trade, business, science and technology, and then know the Hausa/Fulanis in Trade, business, and agriculture, what can we say of the Yorubas? I bet Agboro, Owambe, taxi driver, bus conductors, tax collector and Alaye beggers(Area boys). Most of my Niger friends who are doing businesses in Lagos complain how these Yoruba tauts disturb them daily. They even sometimes attack some of the Niger boys doing Security works in Lagos. Ahmad from Niger told me how these guys disturbed his other Niger friend selling Suya. They come every evening to eat his Suya forcefully and sometimes beats him if he do complain. He told me that his friend was provoked, then he planned for them one day. One evening these Yoruba boys came with their girl friends, forcefully eating his Suya worth 10,000 naira again, unfortunately, the Suya have been poised with Sleeping drug. So after sitting and eating while shouting, they all slept there, hopelessly till 1am. The four girls where gang Molested severally till 4am by Niger boys who joined their brothers and the five boys were killed. And these Niger boys disappeared from Lagos back to their country. Later, All Niger and Hausa within that street became target by the friends of these vicitims. Businesses were closed for two weeks in that street because of this and police keep patroling to maintain peace and order. This is how we are loosing citizens and killing businesses. Yorubas must learn to address tautism, criminality, tribalism, thuggry, and laziness among their people. NOTE: Not all Yorubas are lazy, down to their bone marrows, some are hard working, sincere and nice, though 90% majority in their huge numbers are very lazy and are touts in all major streets in Nigeria. I have many good Yorubas who are nice people and work in good places.[/quote] Stop being myopic.Is trade and commerce the only sector we have in Nigeria or all ovet the continent? For your information, trade and commerce requires no skills (which is what majority if you guys are known for), majority of Yoruba's don't have flair for all these short term business, we go for the long term and the real legit businesses, like real estates, oil and gas, telecoms, science and technology. We improve lifes and strife to improve on things that have been like botany( finding herbs that can be a panacea to all forms of ailment). This life is not a one way traffic, it's by division of labour... not seeing majority of yorubas in the buying and selling sector doesn't mean our presence isn't felt in other sectors. For your information, everyone and every tribes has their area of speciality, like the Asians for the technology know-how and the blacks as athletes, so is within Nigeria and other countries. That is why we are needed to work hand-in-hand to uplift the standard of living of all men. 8 Likes |

NIGERIA IS THE FOURTH COCOA PRODUCER IN Ngeria is or was? well in anycase I strongly believe your political harlot elites have used their unpopular influences over your minds towards believing that fantasy of you westerners still veing cocoa lords. HAV u ever seen a cart load of Cocoa in any market in Nigeria let alone pronouncing its international presence in the last decade. cocoa farming in nigeria is going into extinction and that accounts for the rapid dominance of thuggery and touting among yoruba folks. this present day touts used to be the cocoa farmers and farmers' offsrings.
