Indeed. We don't chestbeat or make redundant noise, driven by inferiority complex, like IPOBians.
Yet I think Yorubas can do more and encourage each other to greater heights. This begins with us familiarizing ourselves with the greatness of Yorubas home and abroad.
We still have Yorubas who go online to ignorantly sing the praises of Igbos because they have been brainwashed by the empty chestbeating insecure Igbos, forever envious of the Yorubas, flood cyberspace with.
A lot of Yorubas need to educate themselves and stop wallowing in ignorance. We do not brag and remain modest but the factual truth is that no other Nigerian or African ethnic group is individually, not nationally I clarify, close to Yorubas across all aspect of human endeavours from entertainment to literature, professional excellence, culture, religious sophistication/tolerance, artistic expression, business/trading acumen, diasporan greatness etal. You are point bro. Time for political correctness is over. Yoruba need to see Nigeria for what it is. A country where everyone takes as much as they can take. Our politics and business should be Yoruba centric. We should as a matter of fact only vote Yoruba centric politicians to position and get as much as we can get from the center before the country finally crumbles. 2 Likes |

I bring to you the names of both serving and former member of parliament (MPs), Mayors, and Councillors of British-Nigerian origin in the UK.
Nigeria is a country blessed with abundant human resources and that manifested in the fact that our people always achieve excellence both home and abroad and our resourcefulness have distinguished us among peoples of other descents.
There are currently over 90+ elected politicians of Nigerian origin sitting in various position in the United Kingdom. One thing to also note is that whenever they elect them Mayors, Nigeria-Britons are always the first of such black people appointments to have taken place.
Note: This list is updated up till 2018. So there might have been some few elected Nigerians after 2018 that are not captured in the list.

Even your fellow Igbos with more brainpower than you never condemned the list because I know they would have done their due diligence to verify the names. By the way, why did you call it balderdash?

British-Nigerians have finally dug into the political space. Nigerian-Americans too are loading fast from ground-zero! British-Nigerians have been doing this from way back in the UK. We can’t have that much Nigerians making headway in the USA because they have their own indigenous African American people and we have to compete with them for the slot. In the UK, for every 10 black man making wave, you should know there will be at least 3+ Nigerians there. 1 Like |

True.
If they can't help us in Nigeria, why do we spend time celebrating them? What's even worse is when we get tribal: "Igbo Amaka" here, "omoluabi" there. At the end of the day, dem no send us from here to there. They are all focused on serving their new found nations.
Let them help us dismantle this hopeless structure in Nigeria (at least restructuring according to the independence plan) by getting their new nations to apply pressure on our government. |

Nigerians in u.k. have the highest black rate of crime. One thing I have noticed about we Nigerians will like praising ourselves but we are illiterate good to you and say you are in Nigeria and see who gives you a job today. You will be sure that Somalia will be employed before you. We never want to hear the truth right there will tell ourselves life and praising ourselves for doing the wrong things. See the amount of Nigerians in British prisons and you will be short. Only think Nigerians do in UK and America vote for criminals and follow criminals.

Most Nigerians in UK change their surnames and say they are from other African countries it is now happening in America This is fallacy of hasty generalization. Here in the USA, I don’t see any Nigerian changing their names because of any rubbish. True, we have some issues with our country image but it’s not up to the extent that you now get ashamed of saying you’re Nigerian. Even most times, it gives you a better rep claiming Nigerians coz people know of our successes, music, and etc. Let me tell you, in corporate America, Nigerians are termed brilliant and if you work in big companies you will know that they hold us in high regard compared to other continental Africans in terms of smartness. We are better than most other black people on average. What about universities? I’m telling you this as first hand info of what I’ve witnessed and the self-evident truth. For every continental African making waves in the universities, you will see Nigerian repping most time at the top. Now back to the UK prison that you spoke about, below is the data from the British prison. You can see that Nigeria is not even the highest black nation with the highest prisoner like you said. Can you even see we are 9th on the list and Somalia with lesser population than us is above us? Where are you getting all your roforofo talks from self? So because you’re Nigerian which gives you more consciousness of Nigerians over there and their lifestyle does not mean that they are the only one in the majority doing wrong. Although the data is just for foreign prisoners, but we can infer the other category of prisoners from it too. https://solitarywatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/UK-Prison-Population-Statistics.pdf
