Number 1 is wrong. Yorubas are artisans by nature not traders, Yorubas will trive in an industrialized environment.
They are city dwellers too.
A Yoruba guy will rather stay in his village than relocate to an Igbo or Hausa village. There are alot of Yorubas in Portharcourt and Warri.

EmekaA125:
SouthEast is 99% indigenous and 1% of other tribes. The Yorubas should explore South-East as Igbos explored SouthWest.

sekundosekundo:


Your advancement is like Lagos State IGR it doesn't reflect in your pockets.

Johnjustice:
It's because of poverty in east, you and hausas come from a poverty stricken region, you have to leave for southwest or die. Yorubas have Lagos, why will they go to your poverty stricken cannibal land. Igbos need yorubas, yorubas don't need igbos.

LocalStandard1:

Okay, my prehistoric Lagosian.

Johnjustice:

Explore a barren, desolate land?

You guys run from South east to southwest to survive, period. Stop talking nonsense.

EmekaA125:

So your people smuggled their scratched faced afonja face to hawk agbo, jedi-jedi and tailor work in a barren, desolate land ?? Na the green algae ewedu soup dey affect ur reasoning. Mugu

LocalStandard1:
I am going to give my unapologetic, unbiased opinion about this topic of discuss based on my knowledge and observations about human interactions and relationships. I'll be brief.

Let me start with this personal example, experience.

Some years ago when I got registered in the gym I entered and saw what caused me to be afraid, intimidated and doubtful if I can even do it at all. I saw big and muscular guys in the gym lifting big and unimaginable weights, I was demoralized and thought of quitting many times over.
But my mind is stronger than my body and I refused to stop, refused to be intimated and daunted by the negative criticisms. Today every gym I go I am soon called "heavyweights", people sit and watch in amazement when I hit the gym.

1.| The first reason there aren't many South Westerners in the East is cause many are afraid to compete with the Igbos and are already intimidated by the high hustle spirit of these other people. They subconsciously ask, "if these people can come to my town and outdo me do I even stand a chance in theirs?"

Just like me some years ago in the gym, they are afraid of competition and are intimidated by the high hustling spirit. But Unlike me, they never even try.

2.| This second reason is one I tried to talk about some time ago with a video reference from Thomas Sowell from YouTube. Unlike the Igbos and even to a small extent the Hausas, the South West are not into the practice of the MIDDLE-MEN system of wealth building and accumulation. And I dare say there are more Hausas in the South East and South South than there are the South Westerners.

You have to be ready and willing to leave your comfort zone and start new and fresh in an unknown place to succeed in this kind of system. The Igbos and to an extent the Hausas can, not very much the Yorubas.

I talked with a Muslim lady who did her NYSC service in Enugu State. She and family were doubted of her going to serve there but after it all she said she made a lot of friends and even after she returned they still keep in touch and would have visited them but what would she say to family she's going to do there again?

Maybe all it takes is a little courage to take a leap out and about. But at the end of the day "LANDLORD TRAVEL AND SEE"!

NOTE: I am not Igbo and have never been there, by the way.

LocalStandard1:


Yes, I hear they like and marry the South East women a lot. More than I can say about myself.

Don't just go there only when it's time to marry, go there also to succeed and find new grounds. Dominate the earth my South Western brothers.

LocalStandard1:


You wanted to dispute what I said but ended confirming all my points in shorter sentences.

Why Did You Think The SE migrated westward?
Because of lack of opportunities in the SE.

You people lie too much, just accept, your region is poor, you come to Lagos to escape poverty.

Johnjustice:
It's because of poverty in east, you and hausas come from a poverty stricken region, you have to leave for southwest or die. Yorubas have Lagos, why will they go to your poverty stricken cannibal land. Igbos need yorubas, yorubas don't need igbos.

Tinubuwins2023e:
Rubbish talk. SE is a dead state where people can hardly succeed. Who goes to such place

Johnjustice:

No Yoruba man in South east, but millions of you are in South West, you people are slaves to Yoruba, bow to your masters. It's the poor man that goes up and down like a hungry dog. Why will a Yoruba man leave a flourishing land to go stay in your cannibal, terrorists, poverty stricken Igbo land?

Very Very rubbish talk

Yoruba will rather pack bag and go to london not the East. We every go to the North to do business.

Igbo s have no good character that’s why people are careful with them

MuchAdo:
Why don't we have as many Britons in Nigeria as we have Nigerians in the UK

LocalStandard1:


Hausas and a host of others do. But you wouldn't know cause you're cozy and comfortable under mummy' wrapper in Daddy's father's compound. When and if you finally are ready to be a man and f*ck out that village you're in you'll know. Right, Bamidele?

EmekaA125:

Because Igbos say no to agbero intimation in Lagos right?? Cry from now till tomorrow, Igbos no send ya papa. Leave Ibarakpa and Okitikpukpa and travel alaye.
