When Yorubas Travel We Dont Do Interstate, We Go International by vicadex07(m): 11:10pm On Sep 03, 2015 |
There is a recently trending fad all over nairaland now that the ibos use in consoling themselves that Yorubas don't go out of their enclave in the southwest and as such, are less exposed. I usually reel out in laughter at their folly. Yorubas dont usually do interstate because we believe our region to be better than any other in Nigeria unlike some people that sees the southwest especially Lagos as their own London. To give a few instances, there are lot of countries in south America where Yoruba culture and Language are most prominent, heck they even celebrate our festivals and revere our kings like the alaafin of Oyo for instance. What about benin republic, togo, ghana, south africa etc. In Benin republic for instance, you will find large communities of Yoruba speakers both of indegenous origins and those from Nigeria too. Even their president is of Yoruba descent. Even spain, all the way in Europe isn't left out. http://www.mynewswatchtimesng.com/yoruba-culture-gets-boost-spain/ Don't even let me talk about the UK scenario. Now law enforcement in Uk are trying to employ Yoruba speaking individuals in Uk cos of the sheer magnitude of Yoruba immigrants in the country. We are found everywhere all over the world and we live all over as prominent citizens respective of our hosts and we go about it quietly without chest beating. This are just few mentions just from my observations and not even a comprehensive analysis. 33 Likes 3 Shares |

meforyou1: Lol. Wey the data wey you take arrive at that fallacy that igbos are more than Yorubas in the U.K ? You high or something? Peckham na Yoruba colony and you dey here dey talk out of your anus. Shey na for LA, NY, Maryland/D.C/Virginia tristate area, abi for Houston, Chicago and ATL igbos plenty pass Yorubas in the U.S? The only parts of the world where there are more igbos than Yorubas are China, Indonesia, Gabon, and maybe Thailand. And we know that's thanks to the drug trade you all dominate. The SE is only attractive to folks who intend to trade coz the only thing you all can boast of over there is having the biggest markets for trading. Alas, we all can't be traders. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

In that same fruitful land of yours You pay rent to papa emeka, you go to the market and still beg ugochukwu to sale for a cheaper rate to you, you beg odinaka to help offload the goods in his container to a warehouse, my question is this, why is it that someone chased by whatever from his erosion village still comes to your dubai states and make you his servant?? its laziness, yes laziness. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

vicadex07:not to be disrespectful to your. Tribe but the country in south america you are talking about is brazil.....the yorubas there were there as a result of slave trade not necessarily because the yorubas travel a lot.......I think the UK and ireland are the countries were the yorubas have a sizeable population compared to the igbos.....in SA, igbos are more,togo,cameroun,angola,ghana igbos are more than the yorubas........in the US, I doubt if the yourubas are more because texas has a very huge population of igbos.......igbos are in germany,china,taiwan,malaysia.....back in the days, igbos were headed in the direction of holland and belgium but I doubt if they still go there en mass.....they prefer asia particularly for business cause of cheap labour and production.......these are the ones I know.......maybe there are others.....but most importantly, igbos are the largest population second to the indigenous population of most states in Nigeria..........whether the yorubas feel theirs is the best is not the issue, but to the fact that right before the war and even after, igbos have always been people who move a lot...... Least I forget, igbos have a sizeable population in israel........I know a couple of dudes there.......I know the igbos brag which I see nothing wrong with that might be excessive at times, but when they say they travel more than the yorubas, its not about chest beating, its about facts....am not a tribal dude. And I don't need any insult. Just stated the obvious.....but if you as a yoruba person disapproves, we could start with Nigeria. From the first to the last states then when through, we go and check african states if not enough then we go international........... 29 Likes 4 Shares |

They don't travel indeed but we know the people who are defacing the roads of Abuja and port Harcourt with rickety scraps in the name of taxi driving or how about the fake automechanics who litre Abuja and other northern states where they fool ignorant car owners in the name of repair and service of cars.
