Africans that travel to Europe legally are highly educated. Majority of immigrants in E:urope are highly educated.

You have to understand that diversity is great. the biggest economies in the world are full of diverse people. new york, london etc. of course there will be losers which is part of the indigenous populations who are poor but you have to understand that all these people bring the wealth from their region to the SW too. look at dangote ? built the biggest world refinery in the SW, look at the guy who owns landmark ? got a loan of 100 million dollars and came to build it in SW, etc etc and so these people bring their brightest and rich people to SW and this moneys goes to the coffers of the SW government when their businesses are taxed etc. thats why the SW is prosperous. people who dont diversify are poor because they are left with only their local population and no one is bringing new moneys into the place. so we take the good with the bad. e money comes to blow all his money in the SW, burna boy, timaya etc all spend their money in the SW. it is these money that are in circulation.

You can live in a country and be homogeneous

Spain, russia, Belgium, Switzerland are all doing it.

Countries or region within a country

abbey621:


When you argue you have to consider what we call mathematical average, can you define highly educated? Because in the 90s, WAEC was good enough, in the early 2000s , Bachelor's degree was good enough but nowadays even with your Masters you are considered just educated and not highly educated. The competition has gone beyond what most of us who migrate from Africa can phantom, for example in my field, you're not taken seriously even with your Masters, you need certifications upon certifications and some reputable companies on your CV/Resume.

Crofton:


This is impossible, each ethnic group in Nigeria can't have a country .

There is Homogeneity of ideology, maybe it should not always be about ethnic group or religious affiliation, but the general accepted ideology of the people or group can determine if they can co-exist .

For instance, the Hausa-fulani have become so culturally entangled that they have similar political and religious ideology sufficient enough for them to co-exist without tensions and distrust despite Nnamdi Kanu's recent attempts at division .

Now you're beating around the bush... It's of no use to continue replying you.

Explain what?

No other religion apart from christianity mostly catholic, Anglican, orthodox is given freedom of free practice in Igbo land.

thebosstrevor1:
If they praise you for your ethnic diversity know that one day, they are coming to take what is yours.

Diversity is a killer and a stealer. What diversity does is to take the opportunity meant for natives and give it to non indigenes, then you and non natives start fighting for resources and opportunities in your own land leading to ethnic tensions.

Those that praise the south west for diversity will never allow it in their land, go to their universities and ministries, only natives works there.

They preach diversity when they want to take what is meant for you and then preach you are not from here when you go to their own land to seek opportunity.

femixx:


That is where you veered off the lane of reason, Yoruba identity not strong? Do not repeat that line again for sanity sake.

thebosstrevor1:


Diversity does not bring any peace.

It brings competition for scared resources, ethnic tension, high crime rate, cultural shock and enmity.

If you know you know.

Yeah, there are advantages but the disadvantages is more than the advantage.

Countries where diversity is preached have lot of racial tension and discrimination.

candidtalk:


Lol. Someone is in pain. Are you going to deny that Igbos are hateful, tribalistic and highly intolerant?

Or you want me to dig up the thread where Igbos encouraged Jonathan, after he became substantive President, to be mean to Yorubas, "punish" them and scheme them out of relevance?

I deliberately mentioned IPOB because hate never allows you Igbos to grow or let go of your dislike for others.

Jonathan you so much wanted to be your 'koboko' to whip the Yorubas is now the one actually praising the Yorubas as exemplary and an ethnic group the entire Nigeria should take lessons from.

I am 100% sure Jonathan now regrets his dalliance with the hateful Igbos, like Stella Oduah etal, who made him become the enemies of the Yorubas he is praising today.

See the shame and disgrace of Igbos in the link below yourself to know it would not kill you Igbos, if you have any decency in you at all, to apologize for your awful ways and try to make amends.

melzabull:
shut up

Traditionalists is the second largest religion in the south east and no one gives a damn about the adherents including those who believe in marine world

Just in case it's islam you have in mind, we abhor islam and there's no way we're allowing it to thrive in any part of igbo land. Every other religion is welcime

PeachtreeReside:
I can't stop laughing at the comments though....


Is there one thing you tribal e-warriors would agree on ??




These hatred you keep bantering is leading to bad blood offline .....




The Igbos can't stand when the South Western are praised.

The Yorubas too are waiting to yap the South Easterns when they have negative news .



Can't we stop these childishness


Your.kids will ask you what you were doing when your mates were collaborating on wealth making.



Your search will come.up with fighting e-wars and e-battles that didn't translate to any major achievements.


Kids, stop these churlish behaviour already.

NOETHNICITY:
just imagine how you brag about religious intolerance
What's the difference between you and alkaeda peeps

nzeobi:
The SW is divided roughly between the two major religions so none can actually bully or intimidate the other.

Most regions in the south are tolerant, in the East Catholics and non Catholics are treated equally too

Boudiccao:


On this thread, Igbos didn't say a word about what Jonathan said but Yorubas already started off their post by insulting Igbos. It has always been like this on nairaland. Igbos would want to keep away from what doesn't put food on their table but be sure to find an idiot mentioning them.

thebosstrevor1:


We are all diverse but there is what is called identity.

In the north, there are different tribes but we know our identity is Hausa or fulani etc and we protect that identity.

Likewise in yoruba land, their are different tribes but the identity is Yoruba.

Protecting your people and making sure they get opportunities is called self preservation, your people first before others, if you don't do that, in due time either your people go hungry and die off or they get wiped out by stronger tribes.

Dont even bring east here, the east is one of the most intolerant region in africa i guess its due to the OSU caste culture, you people hate Muslims, is that how the west hate muslims? Look at what you people are doing to the few Igbo muslims.

candidtalk:


Abeg shut up and stop playing victim. If you leave the Yorubas alone, rather than try and denigrate them daily before the world, then the Yorubas would not have your time.

As GEJ surmised, Yorubas are religiously and ethnically tolerant. We have no time to hate, undermine or sabotage anyone. Such is not in our nature and that is why you do well in our land yet you can never be gracious towards your host be it in Lagos, Accra, Joburg or Nairobi.

What we don't appreciate is ingrate behaviour most especially from Igbos we accommodate and elevate in our land only to be paid back with enmity and nonstop bad belle.

Trust me, my behaviour here is deliberate. It is to teach Igbos the offensiveness of what you do to others by giving you a dose of your own hateful medicine.

candidtalk:


Anybody who uses nairaland for reference would have no problem concluding Igbos are egotistical and pathological liars with the way blatant lies just roll off their tongues.

The Igbos, over 7 decades, have never evolved or gotten better as a people because they can never admit the truth to themselves about what is wrong with their own orientation, mindset and attitudinal obsession with hating and blaming others for everything.

Imagine Igbos now trying to paint themselves as tolerant just because they can't accept that GEJ praised Yorubas as exemplarily tolerant.

ntyce:


That's not true..

Look at what advanced countries like Canada and USA did through diversity lottery..

Diversity brings about development, it opens your heart and mind to varieties.

And as they say, variety is the spice of life

BosseJ:
GEJ is spot on. He's not saying Yorubas are perfect but just that they have succeeded the best out of other regions to manage their diversity to foster relative peace, harmony, and development. Other sections of the country can study and learn their success formula.

codemaniacs:


You're wrong.

They make their riches from Yorubas patronizing their businesses, same with D:angote.

The good thing is some of the money they make stay in the SW.

Yorubas have the highest purchasing power and consumers in Nigeria.
