You see one of the reasons why I believe the yourunbass are the most foolish and uneducated people in the world. You provided names of people whom you claim have achieved one thing or the other, without providing the links to prove your assertions. What kind of school did you attend? To make a claim without evidence is a crime and that's is why world wide people associate you (youlubass) with laziness, dirt, cowardice, and diabolism. If any Igbo person had created this thread trust his ingenuity, every person listed in his list will be properly referenced. Some of the names you provided don't even exist. Please next time try to be a bit mature and Intelligent, so that people can take you serious. Goat! 4 Likes 1 Share |

I honestly can't see any achievements here apart from gazillion of high flying individuals who made themselves proud, while the Yoruba nation/race is still under colonial servitude and perpetual underdevelopment. The last Yoruba achievement was the great Oyo empire, and great Ife civilisation before that. However, since then, Yorubas haven't achieved anything of note. When we build a thriving Yoruba country that can break the yoke of the black African curse, then we'll become achievers. Kudos to these folks and their families though. 5 Likes |

110% right! Just can't wait for them to leave for their biafra, but the problem is, they are not really interested in leaving Nigeria, they just want to arm-twist the govt for appointments and projects. Ibos know they can get their biafra if they really want it, but since they don't want it, let them keep making noise, we just have to keep dealing with their cheap blackmail whenever possible. coolitempa: |
