British Historian Simon Webb: Yorubas Are Behind Most Of The Scams In Britain by GreatAxeMan: 8:44pm On Apr 13, 2022 |
I've reproduced the transcript of the YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4elhOK34tk4 Something which I have noticed over the years is that Yoruba people seem to be in a class of their own in many ways. A lot of the time when people in Britain make disrespectful remarks about Africans, it is really Yorubas who have prompted them to feel that way. Part of the reason for this of course is that there's an awful lot of Nigerians living in this country now and the great majority of them are Yorubas. Now I have to say that a lot of the time they still seem different from other Africans I've known such as Zambians and Kenyans who are as rational and sensible as anything and with whom I could get along without any difficulty. With Yorubas though there always seems to be a kind of disconnect as though even when we are chatting away in English they are somehow speaking a different language to me. I don't have this problem with Ibos by the way. I think I have mentioned before that I used to have evening classes in Igbo and I've associated with quite a few Igbos. I don't know if anyone remembers Colonel Ojukwu the man who who used to be the leader of Biafra. Believe it or not he ultimately settled down in the Hackney Area of London where I used to see him. Most of the successful Africans one encounters in this country who seem to be doing all right for themselves are Yorubas. They make up many of the doctors, accountants and solicitors whose names are full of "O"and "A" and they're called things like Adeyemi or Olusanya. So too are an awful lot of staff in care homes. Yoruba kids seem to do very well at school up to a certain age in Britain. They get better GCSE results on the whole than white british pupils. However they also tend towards a lot of language delay, that is to say late speaking and they tend to be more prone to mental diseases like autism in childhood and schizophrenia in adolescence than white Europeans. This is most likely because the risk for schizophrenia generally for people from West Africa tends to be higher than for White Europeans. Of course the thing which many people most associate Nigeria with is scams and it is the Yoruba who are behind almost all of them. You are very unlikely to find a Hausa or Ibo at the back of a scam, but scams are like food and water for certain Yorubas. Being tricksy or dishonest is something which seems to run through Yoruba culture. I don't think this is a genetic thing. I'm sure there is not a stretch of DNA which codes for being scheming and devious, but on the other hand I imagine that growing up in a certain culture might do it. It almost seems to be second nature. Anybody who's ever worked with Yoruba people will know what I'm talking about here. Even when they have straightforward jobs in social care many of them seem to be up to something suspicious. They are often making secretive telephone calls or you will find that they are known by more than one name or something about their background story doesn't add up. The practice of having more than one name is very common amongst Yorubas you'll hear a Nigerian Yoruba say something along the lines of: My real name is Yetunde but at church they call me Ezekiel; or My cousin's name is Adesola and that is what some people know me as but in my passport it says that I am Obaloluwa. Seriously this is not an exaggeration as anybody who has interacted much with Yorubas will know. The other thing which many people notice with Yoruba people is a tendency towards eccentric behavior. The conduct of the average Kikuyu from Kenya is as normal as anybody else but this simply does not seem to be the case with most Yorubas. I have no idea if this is connected in some way with the tendency towards autism and schizophrenia but the fact is an awful lot of Yorubas come across as odd. I'm curious to know whether other people have observed this about Nigerians in general or Yorubas in particular. I would also be interested to know how many people when they make generalizations about Africans are basing these more upon Nigerians than any other nationality. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Fake and unreliable. Masters of hypocrisy, even the world has taken notice. It's a cultural thing. Dishonesty and backstabbing is seen as normal. Others that uphold the culture of justice and honesty are labelled as unsophisticated. Welcome the the land of Afonja. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

gwafaeziokwu: Thank God he didn't say the Yorubas are prone to schezophrenia, he attributed that to all West Africans and to spite the Yorubas, you believe him.... Maybe it's in fact the schezophrenia worrying you that makes you believe everything he said but later on, you'll say that some people are "slaves" for agreeing with what a white man said about them. 1 Like 1 Share |

Everyone knows in the world that an average afonja is a backstabbetrs, betrayall,thievee, ritualisst,derty,liarr, propagandistt,coword,Lily livered, occultistt, jujuju worshipper,and the problem with Nigeria. People erroneously thinks is iigbos that are our problem in Nigeria but is afonjas,they are the once giving information to british, and north on how to finish east/ss/se. As their face is scratch and uglee so is their heart. Thank you for these information,I know the tribalistic mode won't push it to the front page but if it's igbos he would have pushed by 3am at night. 1 Like |
