Saudi Authorities are set to execute over 20 Nigerians for drug trafficking ,and over 90% of them are Yoruba's.This should make all Yoruba leaders drop their head in shame and weep bitterly for failing the Yoruba nation. All living past and present governors, commissioners, ambassadors, former and present MDs of financial institutions of Yoruba extraction , All general overseers , imam, ustaz etc should feel embarrassed about this unfortunate incident. We as Yoruba's need to do some soul searching and ask ourselves hard question about how we got here.

Those of us that went to school in the 70s ,80s are taught to rely on honest and hardwork to get to lofty heights in our careers. We will remember such ryhmes as ' Mura si ise ore mi, ise la fi ndi eni giga' etc. We are made to memorise it and recite it during assembly both at primary and secondary schools. So, where did we go wrong. We are very proud and conscientious people. Children that were identified not to have affinity for higher education were enrolled to learn skills and there was dignity in labour.

Yoruba nations led in all sphere of education. First woman to drive car, first university in west Africa etc. But these days no Yoruba state comes within the 1st ten states in WAEC exams. I am surprised that governors of Yoruba states did not feel challenged by that and design a wholistic approach to regain top position in the committee of states in Nigeria. All technical schools , teacher training colleges are all but comatose and Yoruba leaders are not bothered.

I expect all leaders of thought in all spheres including traditional rulers to brainstorm and come up with empowerment programmes to develop our youth , address the rot in our educational system, lobby the center to attract human capital development programmes to help the youths hone their skills and raise hope towards engagement in honest activities.

All churches and mosques should immediately begin preaching messages of values that have made us the pride of the nation in time past, I also expect them to also get involved in empowerment programmes in their various churches and mosques however little. All citizen should hold our political leaders accountable and pressurise them to focus on real development. Enough of stomach infrastructure. This is what is driving our youth towards drug peddling, kidnapping and other social vices.

We should also honour those who have excelled by dint of hard work and enterprise no matter their age and political leaning instead of reserving merit awards to only civil servants and political leaders. YORUBA RONU O.

This is interesting, how the mighty has fallen.

They are busy jerking off on Igbo thread not knowing that many of their drug barrons are about to hit the gallow in far East.

They sophisticated ones are too busy with 2023..
They don't care if the whole of west is caught and beheaded..

As long as igboman is interested... anything else can go to hell.

Every drug pusher in Saudi Arabia is a yoruba moslem and every yoruba moslem travelling to Saudi Arabia is a potential drug-pusher.

#FACT

I am sure Yorubas would not be happy with this stereotype but they were busy stereotyping Ndi Igbo because of few foolish ones

Op you are wasting your time. You might as well be talking to stones.

If you want to get their attention, make the topic about igbos.

Those Poor souls are doomed. RIP

Op, make the headline Igbo, so they can come and read it,If not they not coming.

Is only Igbo topic that gives them joy.

OP, change the title to "20 Igbos to be executed for drug offense in Saudi Arabia." You will see how they will pack like wolves and enter. If it's anything Yorubas, they are not interested. Yorubas like to hide their flaws, rather than discuss it and solve it. This was how the Yoruba struggling in WAEC was hidden for years. If you open a thread about it, the modss will hide it. I kept telling them since 2011, hiding this will not help you, rather 5-7 yrs from now, Yorubas will be battling for 30th position in WAEC with Zamfara; which is happening now.

For a second there thought you were gonna say ‘Yorubas need a deep sea port’!

A lot of the anti-Igbo posts on here are done by core northern muslims with Yoruba monikers! They do this to keep the south divided and to ensure any response to their posts are deflected towards Yoruba while they escape unscathed!
