Lagos is yoruba land and has the highest Yoruba population anywhere. Most rich man and women of Yoruba live and do business in Lagos. So why should it be removed just cuz u can’t compete with it. After Lagos none of ur states can still measure up to Ogun states. Everywhere in Nigeria is developed by alll Nigerians.

Which Ogun? The one that have Moro that they bath once in 10 days and wash their clothes once in 6.months.... is it the Ogun that they are scooping oil from road...is it the Ogun that has Abeokuta as capital and Ota and Sagamu as 17th century cities

Which Ogun again bro

Yoruba
The Yoruba tribe comprises of, possibly, the largest ethnic groups that reside in the African subcontinent. People belonging to the Yoruba tribe mainly belong to the southwestern Nigeria and the southern Benin region.
Considered as one of the most educated tribes of Africa, the Yoruba people hold prominent positions in politics as well as the corporate sector.
In fact, the Yoruba tribe has also proved its mettle in entrepreneurship with a large number of its tribesmen running successful businesses. It is considered as one of the richest tribes in Nigeria.
The Yoruba tribe is a close-knit community. They have a strong network of connections spread throughout the continent.
They prefer looking internally within the community to fulfill their requirements and needs; thus, ensuring that the tribe prospers.
This is one of the main reasons why the Yoruba is one of the richest tribes in Nigeria. And as one of the richest tribes in Nigeria.
Nigeria is replete with rich heritage, culture, and tradition that has been preserved by every tribe, individually. Ihave listed some reasons why the richest tribe in Nigeria goes to the Yoruba and we have seen her unique qualities. While the top three tribes remain as Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo, it is difficult to say which one holds the number one position
https://tstevefisheries..com/2020/05/see-why-yoruba-tribe-are-richest-in.html?m=1

They are richest yet it is Igbo people that donated more to FG this Covid era

They are richest yet we say ten scooping palm.oil from road in Ogun

They are richest yet we saw them scooping groundnut oil in Apapa Lagos

They are richest yet we saw them hutsle and mob a bus with bread few weeks ago

They are richest yet we didn't see their so called rich individuals giving to their community like Igbo

LoL

NigerianSage:
Not again...


These low self-esteem people no dey taya ni?



smh..

Show us Abeokuta, Ado Ekiti, Oshogbo or shut it up please

doncheks:
Buhari did not remove subsidy. Covid did.
It would have been impossible for any government to pay subsidy under the given circumstances.
What we want is a free market regime in the oil sector.

You must be a Yoruba man?

Oya they the sophisticated morons should go to Ojota and protest again

KosiGee:
Even if it was, it doesn’t validate anything. Biafra can’t be achieved by scammers and dishonest people.

Uwazurike isn’t someone you can trust. He isn’t even a leader.
Any group of people feeling victimised to join UNPO. It’s funded by members and that means someone like Uwazurike will use that to deceive and extort money from vulnerable people while Ipob family under Nnamdi Kanu and his lieutenants are on the other side collecting offerings from unemployed and other vulnerable Igbos.

I wonder why people still take them serious.

forgiveness:
First of all, Ibadan is more cosmopolitan than both Jos and Kaduna.

Secondly, part of SW formed part of Abuja.

Thirdly, it was wrong in the first place for British to allocate lands to Yorubas in Jos. No Yoruba man will support and fight for land grabbing which tantamounts to injustice. Kudos to the Yorubas for given up the land.

Fourthly, every human being with his own philosophy. Yorubas philosophy is to achieve their goals and they have many ways to do that. Yorubas singlehandedly sponsored and used NADECO to fight against Abacha. Yorubas singlehandedly forced the whole country to present Yorubas as candidate in 1999. Yorubas were significant in ending the Civil war. Yorubas used press to kick PDP out of power. There's a saying that goes like this.... there are many ways to catch fish.

Hause Fulani knows the group to fear most. If you think Yorubas are cowards, good luck to you.

Before we can take you serious get back ilorin

sweetsell:
You Igbos make me laf with your endemic chest beating. When the real list is out we'll see.

It is not chest beating it's a reality....in the southern Nigeria, Yoruba states are the most backward... The facts are there...even minorities are better than you guys

Don't bring Lagos! Lagos is developed by all Nigerians the way Abuja is developed by all nigerians

Find me Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Oyo , Ekiti

jacksonkennedy:
you have a point. I think our people are no longer taking education serious like in the time of our fathers. Igbos have overtaken us there.
We need an educational revolution like in the 50s again

trust me , Yoruba youths don't need education, where there are touts as a role model , one even said that NURTW should be studied as a course in Unilaag , a region we have retired touts as governors and a political godfather with funny history while some MC is now the new political kingpin

Have you ever witnessed the NURTW elections in Yoruba land...it's a big affair

BeautifulMind2:
Human development index for states you see online is fake NBS is yet to release the list

Its now fake....we know that Yoruba states are backward....that is the truth

kingreign:
What's the noise all about?
Better calm down, it's a new month and the day is still young.

is it you .... I totally understand your positio
But the truth is that every car fanatic will tell you that ..never compare European brands with Asia especially Benz, BMW, Aston Martin, Royce , Fiat , citreon with any Japanese model....

Please don't do that ..in auto world it is like a blasphemy... It's like saying comodo lizard is stronger than a Gator....


Lexus is just a rebadged Toyota with more plastics while infinity is just Nissan with a different logo

Praxtech:
I don't agree. I use top-notch synthetic Total Quartz 9000 or LiquiMoly.

He can use it if it works for him...I use mobil ... I ensure it's original

Lexus isn't a true definition of luxury...it's a rehabilitated Toyota naaaa

While Infinity is that of Nissan

Talk luxury all Benz , BMW and who compared y
European cars with Japanese

From engine ruggedization to design ... Europe takes is all

OgbeniOptional:
Corolla get running cost? I only buy fuel and change oil on it. Hardly develop fault. That's why I mentioned how much I can afford from my monthly salary on the Benz. I should abort the mission? @Lexusgs430

30-40k monthly on a car is too much, you don't fix car everyday



Go for it....Benz is a rugged engine you can drive the engine almost a year without issues and just service your car once a year....good to go

For records

Moneywomen17:
ogbeni u get eyes ur brother is the one arguing with sentiments and ignoring facts. If u get brain why not go over the stats urself and see that overall Yoruba gain more admission to college than their ibo counterparts.

I don't think I am your ogbeni and I don't also think I am having conversations with you...

Thank you

BoboNkiti19:
I like how the Igbos are PRESENTING stats to SUBSTANTIATE their facts. Why the afonja clowns are consoling themselves with the usual "we've busted them" nonsense rebuttal. If you are certain you are leading Igbos in the fields of Law, medicine, Engineering, arts/literature etc then post the stats to prove that! we're not interested in admission rates and all that rubbish, give us the index of performance between both regions in the aforementioned fields over the past 7 years. Otherwise STFU and stop boring is with the rants of been the most educated and all that already debunked clichés, the whole conversation is getting stale and repetitive already.

That is how arguments are made, stats, references and citations ...but they are bringing sentimentalism....

Trust me , Awolowo free education was quantitative and in vain !

wizzakosh:
See Dundee, with your egregious English, you want to tell someone that is far ahead of you. Father of African literature my foot. Go and tell that to the international body that gave award to wole.

I am sorry I can't help your frustrations...

These signs might be silent in nature like the sudden appearance of a fancy office properly designated as the Awka Capital Development Authority (ACDA), or loud like the pulling down of the structure at Aroma Junction and the huge construction efforts going on there to lay the foundation of a fancy flyover and a tunnel that will change the landscape of the town. The truth though is that no matter the nature of these signs, it can no longer be denied that Awka, the capital city of one of Nigeria’s frontline states is on the cusp of change.

For years, Awka stood out as a metaphor for all that could possibly go wrong with Anambra. After 23 years of playing host to the government of the most illustrious people in black Africa, Awka was reluctant to shed its overcast outlook of a semi urban town with a mishmash of mostly residential buildings jutting out of green areas and no hint of a distinct skyline. Awka had no promise of ever transmuting to urbanity, no obvious aspirations to greatness.

This is in stark contrast to the well-known industrious nature of Awka indigenes whose ancestors are famous in all of Igboland for their prowess in metallurgical productions and blacksmithry. Meanwhile, right across the Niger in neighboring Delta State, Asaba , a town that became an administrative seat at the same time as Awka is in full bloom.

As successive administrations came and went without any landmarks, inhabitants of the town lost all hopes of any real modern changes in the landscape. So many conspiracy theories were woven to explain the seemingly endless neglect of Awka by different administrations. Some people blamed Awka’s increasingly sorry state on the reluctance of the indigenes to work in harmony with any government.

Others argues that they are reluctant to cede their lands for developmental purposes. But the opposing views argue that it was the government that failed to demonstrate good faith by assuring the indigenes of a compensation package that is commensurate to the land they were willing to cede. Whatever was the true account, the outcome was a damning verdict on Awka. It remained trapped in its utter lack of ambition – an avoidable stillbirth.

The irony here is that while Awka stagnated, the rest of Anambra bloomed - especially the smaller towns. APGA leadership under former Governor Peter Obi, transformed the state to such a great extent that traveling around, the first time visitor would be hard-pressed to believe that he is not moving around in one sprawling city but a maze of urbanizing communities with the familiar feel of a city.

The impressive network of good roads that link up towns in Anambra State to each other can compare to any such efforts in any part of the world. But this picture contrasts sharply with the stark, threadbare reality of Awka. Again, we may never fully know why. It will take a lot of prying to riffle through the thick swelter of conspiracy theories cited above to unearth the facts.

Happily, that was the case until Chief Willie Obiano was sworn in six months ago. As is typical of leaders who are concerned about their place in history, Chief Obiano’s discontent with the deplorable state of Awka began to show long before he was sworn in. In his Inaugural Speech,Obiano was emphatic about his dream of a fitting capital city for NdiAnambra. In a very passionate voice, he had assured NdiAnambra that“your clamour for a Capital City that fully reflects the essence of our people will be addressed by my administration. We shall re-design and remodel Awka to meet the structural and aesthetic requirements of a 21st Century city that we can all be proud of.”

Six months down the road, no one is in doubt that Obianohas demonstrated his resolve to be the change he preaches. A few weeks after his inauguration, the governor had felt deeply dissatisfied with the near-pristine state of Awka. He had assembled some of the state’s most distinguished town planners, engineers and architects to work together as the new Board of the Awka Capital Development Authority and named ChikeEgwuatu, a renowned architect and an indigene of Awka as the Chairman of the board. Egwuatu is known to have done a great job as the coordinating consultant for the Federal Capital Development Authority back in 2004.

Setting the task for the 9-man Board, Chief Obiano showed them a picture of pre-transformation Dubai and a photograph of Dubai 13 years after transformation. He assured them that if the Arabs could turn a desert into a paradise, then, Ndi Anambra with all their gifts and talents could match or surpass that feat. He therefore charged them to dig deep into themselves and deploy their ingenuity create extra-ordinary designs that would stand Awka out among its peers.

Now, what is most fascinating about Awka is that long before the Awka Capital Development Authority Board could even produce the first draft of their designs, the town has commenced a gradual shedding of its old, bedraggled outlook. The massive work that is going on simultaneously in the locations designated for the three flyovers that governor Obiano had promised to build in Aroma, Amawbia and Kwata Junctions in the capital has turned Awka into a huge construction site. Yes, in six months, Willie Obiano has given Awka the look of a town in transmutation – the look it should have worn about 20 years ago when it assumed the status of the capital of an illustrious people.

In areas where construction is not going on, Awka is fast getting familiar with its new skin – the street light sparkle into the night and more often than not, there is vehicular traffic to contend with at some major intersections. Work is progressing at a frenetic pace at the newly designated Three Arms Zone that will host all the organs of government. Sited on the rolling hills of AguAwka, the Three Arms Zone looks majestically down on vast plain of splendid greenery, offering a breathtaking view that will tickle the senses of any tourist on completion.

Perhaps nothing can be more indicative of Awka’s strong aspiration to emerge from the cocoon of its old, quiescent self than the amazing return of nightlife. In chasing kidnappers and violent criminals out of Anambra State, Willie Obiano has unwittingly opened the floodgates of a city lifestyle that was hitherto inconceivable in Awka. Like all go-go cities, Friday night comes wrapped in a rainbow for most residents of Awka. There is a certain libertine spirit that holds sway on Friday nights that shows Awka’s extra-ordinary abundance of beautiful women.

A walk between the famous UNIZIK Junction and Aroma Junction in the early evening offers a rare peek into Awka’s treasure trove of delectable ladies. A typical Friday night begins slowly at the many bars that dot the landscape stretching from High Tension to UNIZIK Junction where night crawlers set the mood for the rest of the night with large glasses of beer. Close to midnight, the clubs explode into panoply of colours, inviting revelers from all corners with their assorted lights. Clubs like Gaga, Lounge 24 and Cofi hold things down like their contemporaries elsewhere in the world.

A friend who went on a recent night out was surprised to see that Cofi was packed so full that there was not enough space for people to dance freely. He stepped out in frustration and saw a long queue of flashy cars packed with fun-lovers heading to the same club. The open bars are just as busy with people thronging popular spots where delicious barbecued fish sizzle on the fire. Hotels in Awka are usually out of space on weekends as fun-lovers storm the town from neighbouring Onitsha and Nnewi to indulge in Awka’s new found freedom and assorted pleasurable offerings.

The population is also boosted by indigenes visiting from all over the world who now feel safe enough to come home to marry and be given out in marriage and to participate in major cultural festivals like Ofala, IguAro, Nwafor, IriJi, Afiolu and a host of others. It is now common place for people to sit out in their gardens and relish the taste of Oh-Mpa (Hero) or any of their favourite beer and take a long drag at their cigarettes and exhale in the open air of Awka’s new freedom. The fear of kidnappers and armed robbers that had denied the people the joys of re-uniting with their families and communities at such moments has ended with Obiano’s clinical approach to crime-fighting.

In all, the changing face of Awka is a fascinating narrative that underscores the constancy of motion; the fact that everything eventually changes with time. But it is also a story of courage and determination – a testimony that when leadership is focused, resolute and committed, no challenge is insurmountable. Above all, it is the story of Willie Obiano’s six months in office as the governor of Anambra State.

Moneywomen17:
do u know what facts means let me help u below. Cuz according to jamb stats for the past 9 years more Yoruba are admitted into university more than ibo. That’s actual facts. When we talk about even professors in Nigeria. Yoruba is still number 1. And in the best university in the country.

Support your argument with references ....

Ifebazz:
Oh thanks a lot. Which particular specification of Mobil 1, 5w 30 or something else?

You can use mobil 1 or this... I use this... Mobil 1 is for newer engine and 2006 model car will need an oil with a bit higher viscosity

This the one I have been using and it is serving me... Mobil 1 is lighter and it's for cars less than 5 years ...

Thanks bro .... It was an oversight

Ifebazz:
No, I am not doing any comparisons, I was just saying it would be a little unfair to judge Audi cars based on Benin City.

ok

Ifebazz:
The Audi you usually see in Benin are Audi 80, which of cause, is basically used for transportation and not necessarily a luxury car. You can't really judge Audi brands based on that.

If you want us to compare luxury then we can compare AMG, Brabus or maybach with the best of Audi

Right ?

Ifebazz:
Please dear MB experts, which engine oil should I use for my 2006 C280?
Which is best and what are the alternatives? Thank you guys.

I recommend mobil 1 or the other mobil because it's a 2006 year and it's 14 years old... But either mobil 1 or the other mobil .. ensure that you buy it at mobil stations and as for your gear, use star oil (Mercedes oil )

Ifebazz:
The Audi you usually see in Benin are Audi 80, which of cause, is basically used for transportation and not necessarily a luxury car. You can't really judge Audi brands based on that.

We are taking about Audi wether na 80 or 40 ... Na Audi
