Self promotion propaganda that will get you no where. Where you got the fact of being more in number than the Igbo is still a mystre as Nigeria's silly census figures can not be relied upon. Igbo are the majority of all the Nigerian ethnic groups going by the facts of their numbers living in all over Nigeria (Lagos where they are more than half of the total Lagos population) and outside of Nigeria where they number in millions. Where you got the most educated is still unknown cause by the last time everyone checked with backed up statistics from WAEC and JAMB boards, Igbos are the most educated in Nigeria with the highest cut off marks. Most educated based on PURE facts and not emotions and propaganda. 4 Likes |

To be realistic what has "successful tribe" brought to your region? We need to stop being cowards and face reality. First, why do every tribe underate yoruba? to the extent that Igbo saying Lagos is no “man's land“. Can they say to the hausas that Kano is a no man's land? They would have been another pogrom. Your region have great men but with faint heart. I heard one Igbo guy saying what is Yoruba name for Lagos, so because Lagos doesn't have Yoruba name (which I font know) that makes it becomes a no man's land right? If i may ask, what is the local dialect name of Plateau, Taraba, Kaduna.. Just to name few. When Osama attack White house America respond with full military force. When Hamas launch rocket Israel Israel respond immediately. That is why they are super power today. Wake up Yoruba you should not be cowards, you should show them you are all Benjamin Adekunle. 2 Likes

Stop beating your own drum . The homeland is stuck in a time warp. We have been ready for a knowledge based economy since 1960 but we are being held back by a dysfunctional natural resource economy ever since . Oodua states has bled and is still bleeding so much human resources that you will cry . There is absolutely no major global corp e.g the English speaking fortune 400 companies, that you will not find omoluabis in technical , administrative or operations department. This is before we start talking about the public service. I am not talking first generation omoluabis here . I am not including their children at all, neither am I talking about the usual suspects like professors and doctors. I am talking about the typical seyi or tunde from shomolu who struggled to get a visa. The west has basically vacuumed up de cream de la cream of our intelligentsia. 1 Like |
