Ever wondered why anything anti igbo that appears online gets more likes and promotion but anything pro igbo gets less likes and backing?? Its simple. While the igbo youths ar busy in their shops and places of business making enough money to buy the whole internet if they so wish, the idle yoruba youths ar busy lying down at home with their phones surfing the net every minute of the day. How the hell do u think the media gave buhari their slave master an edge to win?? How many abokis sabi surf the net?? One day one day, the igbo tribe will buy off all the yoruba states and deport them to chad. Keep wasting ur lives at home waiting for ur father to die so dat u can start collecting rent while ur igbo mates ar building houses and buying off yoruba owned houses. cheesy . The yorubas hate the igbos cos they can never measure up to them in terms of striving. Igbos thrive where other tribes think its impossible. Igbos ar everywhere like the jews, u burn their shops or demolish it in the name of sanitation as a guise to lash out ur anger on them cos they did nt vote for u, they still thrive and make double what they made before. Pls u guys shouldn't even begin to compare the dirty tribe with the money making igbos. It doesn't make any sense undecided

Look at a catchup clansman calling me a Yoruba boy illiterate.

I'm sure my educated greatgrandfather had an Igbo cook those days in Lagos Island. I bet he was magnanimous enough to teach him how to speak and write English.

Even Ajayi Crowther taught the bushmen from the East how to structure their own language by constructing their primer so they can be literate.

But ajayi is creol not a yoruba sir

Creole because he identified as part of Sierra Leone's freed slave contingent.

In Ajayi Crowther's case, he was a full blooded Yoruba boy who's slave ship was intercepted at port. He was rescued and sent to Sierra Leone before being trained in Britain.

So his identity as creole is because he was resident there in freetown with returnee African slaves of which Yorubas were still a significant population.

Yes he apologized if they felt offended but he did not regret his actions because it was not informed by any tribal victimisation and it was necessary.

Now that you also know this as you've admitted above, try educate those who spread such propaganda.

Because they did not cry victimisation, they did not require it.

Please keep talking. I like how you are coming out of the closet, revealing what we had long known that the Igbo man loves his ego to be massaged. I have quoted this for future reference so as to judge people by the standards they have set themselves.

All cries of marginalization are empty and futile attempts to be rewarded without merit.

Prof Itse Sagay was right afterall.

Why are Yoruba abusive ? For the singular fact that I did not agree with your submission this is what is resulting to insults from your angle

So much maturity



But ajayi crowther is creole ...do Yoruba bear the surname crowther ....the creoles in Nigeria bear foriegn names like Macaulay , savage , Williams etc

These are not yoruba surnames


A man origin is known from his surname


Keep insulting

Bye

Why are you this daft?

You have not refuted the fact that Ajayi Crowther was born and bred in Yoruba land before being captured into slavery?

Does the adoption of a name change a man's ethnicity?

Is it not on record that his ship had even yet to sail before he was rescued by the British who then sent him to live in Sierra Leone among the creoles?

As for the creoles, the Yorubas among them even returned to Yorubaland, while some remain there in Sierra Leone retaining their Yoruba identity underneath the larger Creole identity.

So how much more a boy who departed the Yoruba shores a freeman?

It is the hurt that a Yoruba taught the Igbo how to read and write their own language. What a shame.

Seriously, I get your pain. Sorry!

Olikoye Ransome-Kuti was born in Ijebu Ode on 30 December 1927, in present-day Ogun State, Nigeria. His mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, was a prominent political campaigner and women's rights activist, and his father, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, a Protestant minister and school principal, was the first president of the Nigerian Union of Teachers.[2] His brother Fela would grow up to be a popular musician and a founder of Afrobeat, while another brother, Beko, would become an internationally-known doctor and political activist. Ransome-Kuti attended Abeokuta Grammar School, University of Ibadan and Trinity College Dublin (1948–54).[3]

Career Edit

He was a house physician at General Hospital, Lagos. He was senior lecturer at the University of Lagos from 1967-1970 and appointed Director of child health at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos and became Head of Department of Paediatrics from 1968-1976. He was Professor of Paediatrics at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos until his retirement in 1988.[4][5] He worked as senior house officer at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, and as a locum in Hammersmith Hospital in the 1960s.

In the 1980s, he joined the government of General Ibrahim Babangida as the health minister. In 1983 along with two other Nigerians, he founded one of Nigeria's largest health focused NGOs - Society for Family Health Nigeria primarily concerned with family planning and child health services at the time. In 1986, he conveyed word of Nigeria's first AIDS case, a 14-year-old girl who had been diagnosed with HIV. He was minister until 1992, when he joined the World Health Organisation as its Deputy Director-General.

He held various teaching positions, including a visiting professorship at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University's school of hygiene and public health. He wrote extensively for medical journals and publications.

He won both the Leon Bernard Foundation Prize and the Maurice Pate Award, in 1986 and in 1990 respectively.
