"Yoruba Tribesmen Are The Most Sophisticated Citizens"- Lord Harcourt. by nisai: 12:45pm On Jun 17, 2017
As a matter of fact, here is a direct quote from Lord Harcourt, the then Secretary of the Colonies who in 1913 said “we have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the economy.

“The promising youth …is about to effect an alliance with a Southern lady of means (referring to Southern Nigeria). Time Magazine in March 1963 wrote of Nigeria thus “the country numbered some 250 tribes and languages, three principal religions (Moslem. Christian, animist), and three big, traditionally hostile regions: the feudal, Moslem North, which claims half the entire population of Nigeria; the East, dominated by the astute, industrious Ibo tribes; and the West, richest and most advanced of all three, whose Yoruba tribesmen are Nigeria’s most sophisticated citizens.”

Sophistication indeed = dragging Nigeria backwards, and responsible for every problem in Nigeria since 1960. Today, your sophistication gave us Buhari, a calamity on Nigeria and Nigerians. You have no shame, if this were Babylonian era, you will dragged outside in public and stoned with boulder rocks!

Industrious cum CRIMINAL MINDED INITIATED INDUCTEES that gave Nigeria AGUIYI IRONSI, —SHEHU SHAGARI – To A COWARDLY PROFESSOR HUMPHREY NWOSU, WHO COULD NOT DECLARE THE WINNER OF JUNE 12 ELECTION 1993....They are not the ones that even made “JONA the PRETENDER", won his THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL VICTORY,INSTEAD, IT WAS THE MINORITY VOTE THAT DELIVERED AND THE WEST . The industrious people that make money making through Dubious importation of substandard drugs, furniture n fittings etc to the country at the detriment of the whole nation.

Yoruba don't claim innocence because we do have bad eggs but the GOOD ONES ARE IN THE MAJORITY. THE WEST SIDE—THE “WETTIE" SIDE —WISE SIDE — WORKING SIDE—WINNER SIDE

Mr Ojo Madueke who is Nigeria's Ambassador to Canada has recently asserted that the Yorubas are the most enlightened, knowledgeable and experienced people in all the tribes of Nigeria.


Mr. Madueke, explained that although his expression contradicts his ''Igboness'', it has been a phenomenon that Nigeria benefits immensely only when the Yoruba are fully involved in governance, adding that as a former officer of the Biafra army, he knew what he was talking about.

Even prominent ibo man no fit dispute the same fact.

Is it my fault that some adults cannot deal with trivial issue? Should I refrain from starting a topic because it will not go down well with some people? Why should the mention of Yoruba or Igbo to seek opinion concerning a matter be understood to 'fanning the embers of ethnic and tribal wahala?
