Yorubas voted reasonably for every major political party. They gave some to APC, and PDP and Labour and even gave consolation votes to NNPP. Why won't they thrive in Nigeria? The political sophistication of the Yoruba is light years ahead!

In the context of Nigeria, some see Yoruba 's relaxed and 'sophisticated approach as a weakness.

I personally think the Yoruba way is rooted in their philosophical and pragmatic approach to life. One such principle is: it is essential to work hard, and be ambitious, but money is not everything.

When you are pragmatic, you think more with your head than your heart.

The average Yoruba person thinks things through several times over before acting. He doesn't act first and think later. He thinks before he acts.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

The game has changed, Reno has seen that rallies don't win election.

Reno and Atiku are the biggest loser in this election. He will stay another 8yrs in Landon, for the fear of EFCC, Atiku on the other hand has had his last shot on the presidency

That is the only thing that will make them relevant in every transition program.

Yorubas are not one way traffic politically...

Advantage of education in the region.

"..In fact, if there are Nigerians that can be exonerated they are the people of the SOUTH-EAST and SOUTH-SOUTH; but the NORTH and the SOUTH-WEST are responsible for our problems today under this regime.I said it right from the beginning that Buhari is not competent and therefore cannot lead.

Now, we are crying.It was our shortsightedness. People did not behave the way they are supposed to behaved when Buhari was looking for power..."

In the words of Bruce Lee "Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves".

Clever politicians and their followers are just like water, they adjust to the object, they are not rigid and this is why outward things keep disclosing themselves! Those calling for war are simply rigid and inexperienced

Please check the voting pattern in yorubaland since 2003. It is always a spread. Every party will have good number of votes in all yorubaland. No block votes.

I am telling you. By the time they wake up, they will try to fight but it will be too late. Every region in Nigeria votes tribally on the national stage.

Ibos voted 99% for their son. PDP, APC didn't win a single state. Ibos are the biggest riggers and most tribalistic in Nigeria.

The result that came out of Anambra shows that Ibos are not ready for leadership, they don't allow diversities. The election shows the people are not liberal at all and it seem people were forced to vote against their will. I saw a video on Facebook where a group of women queued for voting and one man was using their thumb to vote, is it proper like that?

I think it’s the inherent egalitarianism that’s part of Yoruba culture/tradition. Yoruba were able to build a culture that promotes egalitarianism whilst also promoting dictatorship when it comes to relationship between youths and elders. And it just shows how sophisticated Yorubas are - due to how they’re able to create a balance between the two.

Some see it as a sign of weakness while others see it as lack of unity - but in reality, it brings checks and balances. I don’t think any candidate in Nigerian electoral history (including Awolowo) has ever won 70% of Yoruba votes (I stand to be correct tho).

That said, I still think this great attribute need to be put in check for now - due to the current realities of Nigeria. Yoruba nationalism should be the paramount thing - until there are no external threats, from other belligerent ethnic groups. Some people are hellbent on exploiting this attribute and they see it as a sign of weakness.

This man never misses the opportunity to insult Yoruba people. undecided
So, electoral theft and vote rigging is sophistication?
If we didn't see true "Omoluabl" Yorubas in action in this election which led to the defeat of Tinubu in his own backyard, maybe Reno may have a point.
Whether Reno likes it or not, this election has by far united the Yorubas with Igbos the most in the history of Nigeria.
OUOTE ME.
For the first time, really, the Yoruba voted for an Igbo presidential candidate in unprecedented numbers, and shamed their thieving brother in his own backyard. Yet Reno is here talking rubbish. undecided

Don't worry, this election is far from over because every Nigerian knows what happened.
To my Yoruba Omoluabi brothers, I say a huge thank you.
Together we shall free this country from all thieves! cool
