This is a good development

A clear message to businesses. You are welcome to do business in Nigeria but it should not be about profit making alone. You must provide the services that your subscribers and customers pay for.

What MTN cannot try in SA or Kenya, they do in Nigeria because successive administrations have never held them to account.

This Buhari's administration has been damn too slow but the actions are well thought out and targeted.

Another thread full of assumptions, conspiracy theories and unsubstantiated innuendos

Do you have any evidence for all these accusations you have made against the PMB and APC?

If you have any evidence, can you pass them to the relevant authorities or provide it on this forum or any social media outlet.

I know what the problem is, you are scared almost to the case of defecating on yourself, you can see the handwriting on the wall. All your political predictions have failed to occur.

You know that Rivers people will now honor the Gentleman arrangement that ensures that there is power-sharing between the vested interests in the state.

You know Wike will lose the elections and it scares you that the PDP you now belong to is imploding before your eyes

You are from Okrika, stop making noise online. Go and campaign for Wike in your village instead of writing nonsense on NL.

modath:
Ileke, you don't get the gist, iyalode's fear I have it too, I'd like my kids to watch yoruba movies so as tto be grounded in the language like their parents...... Unfortunately, its the Oshodi area boys that have their praises sang in virtually 3 of 5 movies these days with some even giving them cameo roles....

Some youths on the other hand are budding olamide, lik kesh or reminisce with zero talents to back it up!!

We have a perfect mixture of the good, the bad ,the ugly & the downright horrible!!!

Absolutely!

But can you tell me any ethnic/tribal group or race on this planet that does not have that composition that you have aptly described?

At the end of the day we are social animals and our behavior, outlook in life and how we decide to interact with fellow human beings is 'largely' determined by environmental factors. You could make an argument that some behavioral patterns are innate, which of course is correct in some cases.

My take on this is that there are factors that differentiate societies. While I agree that some of the characters that you have identified should not be role models for Yoruba children and youths, I will rather look at it from an holistic perspective. Unless I am mistaken, the average Yoruba family still has that Awolowo inspired thirst for knowledge and desire to dominate Nigeria intellectually, we are socially inclined and as a collective, decent human beings.

I think the main issue is the percentage of people that fall into the categories that you have highlighted. I am 100% sure that the majority of Yorubas are good people, accommodating and unbelievably determined.

Personally, I am not worried about the future Yoruba generations. We have that foundation and no matter how much we stray, we always come back to the fundamentals of Yoruba tradition of respect, humanity and industry.

@ Thread

I will like to thank the OP for starting this thread. Well overdue. And as we can all notice, the quality of debates and discussion is unparalleled. Unsurprisingly!

Bollinger:
Lol.. . .you are very correct about that. In a county of millions of yorubas "several" are doing well. Several. Lol

The opportunities are so limited that only several do well. La oju e ko ri nkan to sele ni ilu e.

Several can mean anything. It is subjective. Olodo

It could be several millions

Igbo, You cannot deceive me with that Yoruba u are writing

teewhydope:
All i know is if you don't watch the ad video to a specific length or complete d advertiser won't get Paid...

Not true

Go and do your research pls

good for him

Bollinger:
[s]Keep deceiving yourself. They don't know you or want to be associated with you. They were brought up in a sane society which afforded them the opportunity to reach their full potential. Do you think if they lived in a phucked up environment like Nigeria where power generation is a full time problem, do you think they would be able attain the level they are right now? their allegiance is to the society they live in, not some jacked up country like Nigeria. I should know.[/s]

Mumu

Maybe you should go and watch their youtube videos

They project their Yoruba background and heritage without any shame.

There are several Yorubas living in Nigeria and doing very well too.

I know u are very very sad because this news is about Yorubas. Go and swallow Otapiapia if you feel so bad

redcliff:
I am sure you did not read the thread "what is wrong with the nigerian youth"actually, you and your ilks are everything wrong with the nigerian youth!

bla bla bla

I know you are angry

Dont worry Igbo drug news will soon hit FP

maum:
Well done then. Congratulations! That's what you want right?

What did you want when you created this thread?

Dont worry, Igbo news will soon hit FP, it is weekend, NDLEA will be busy at the airports.

The richest Nigerian on YouTube is Jason Njoku of iROKO TV and he is not Yoruba.[/size]

Evidence?

And do you have to write in those big fonts?

It does not make your point any more valid

At your age, you should know this

151487made:
Are they yeeboos

Did you read the title of the thread?

Does it have anything to do with drugs or 419?

So how can it be yeebos?

Nice to have some Nigerians representing the country positively

Immediately I saw the headlines on BBC, I didnt even bother to check the names.

Yorubas are always making Nigeria proud.

The UK's most influential YouTube creators have been named in a top 10 list produced for the BBC. How do self-made stars like these become famous around the world? And are they taking over from traditional celebrities?


Tubular Labs has created a list of the top 10 most influential UK creators for the BBC.

At the very top is Olajide "JJ" Olatunji, who dropped out of college, but has made $4.5m (£2.9m) in the past year, according to a Forbes list of the world's highest-paid YouTube stars.

The 22-year-old, from Watford, has more than 10 million subscribers on his KSI YouTube channel and a "social reach" of 17.4 million when other social media platforms are taken into account.

He is best known for filming himself playing computer games while commentating on them, but he also makes comedy videos and more typical vlogs.

His vlogs include one where he decided to dye his hair blond and another in which he filmed himself for a week to give his viewers a chance to see what he does when he's not posting YouTube videos.

KSI's brother Deji Olatunji, known as ComedyShortsGamer, is in second place on the list.

His videos appear to concentrate more on comedy than gaming, with one of his most popular being a prank where he told his mother he had made a girl pregnant.

Igbo people just dey make me laugh I swear

The level of desperation and attention seeking is just unreal

One Shinedu or Shineye sat down somewhere and named himself Mr Bode Abodunrin

The article is baseless, lacks any credibility and just wishful Igbo thinking. No figures for this imaginary contribution apart from the 80% he came up with after drinking onitcha palm wine

Igbo and chest beating are like twins

Naijiant:
Are you sure you can read?

You and all the fake news you post on NL

Don't you have money to do proper ads for your useless blog?

And you just changed the OP after I asked u

Another illiterate Igbo man

Is Harman the Foreign Minister or an opposition MP?

And this OP has a blog based in the UK. You can take a low life from the gutter but you can take the gutter from him

Firefire:
You know me very well, please check my post history, I support any move against corruption and corrupt individual not like the way your coven members celebrate corrupted elements.

But let say the truth... Can you mention any achievement of Buhary since May 29th on the aspect of fighting corruption ?

Thank you.

Your English is corrupt

Mr noisemaker

What exactly is your fascination with gays? There is no day on NL that u don't use that word.

Where you molested by Fulani men? I will advise you to go for counselling before your past destroys you

SeverusSnape:
Exactly!... I see that 'gay right' materializing.

None of my business though. *shrugs*

phreakabit:
[size=18pt]Funny!!!
Whats funnier is the desperate act of scandal-mongering and Igbo slandering by the mods
So because of the fact that a Yoruba man got arrested for possessing narcotics, a revenge thread had to be created?. . .
Here is the fun part. This same thread made front page on the 24 of September see link below,
I guess the thread was so good they had to bring it back! This is what happens when you make dimwits coordinators
WELL DONE MOD good dog!


https://www.nairaland.com/2622507/student-caught-lagos-airport-10.255kg[/size]

Rubbish

The Yoruba one that got to the FP yesterday has been on the front page two times before

Is it the mods fault that 9 out of 10 times it will be Igbos smuggling drugs??

L

wyqay:
I don't think their is any tribe difference when it comes to crime.

Be deceiving yourself

Igbos are masters when it comes to drug smuggling

95% of people caught at Nigerian airports for drugs are Igbos

Another jobless illegal immigrant in the UK opening useless threads. Smh for the OP

Another first hand account that confirms Igbo cannibalism and wickedness

The writer witnessed the butchering of his uncle and he was then dismembered and his body parts sold in a Biafra market.

Interesting......

The murders and atrocities committed by biafran soldiers confirms the lies by Igbos that they were only defending themselves against aggression from Northern Nigeria. The real cause of the war was Igbo greed and an attempt to gain access to oil in the Niger Delta. As soon as Gowon created Rivers State and removed it from the former eastern region, Ojukwu went mad

This is the same strategy that Igbos are using today with their fake love for the SS.

Nonsense

These guys will die over Tinubu matter

The envy for the man is just too intense.

A lot of these old men are not fulfilled until they mention Tinubus name.

Free publicity for the Jagaban everywhere

OnReflection:
The original report on attainment in UK schools is fine @omonnakoda. It is the willful distortion of facts by @OP that is blatantly dishonest.
Look at the usual band of NL urchins jerk..ing off to claims of racial superiority. Not fully satisfied with standing the logic on its head, they've now taken to distorting history with claims that reside in the realms of phantasm.

How is it fine?

How were they able to determine which student comes from Yoruba, Ibo background? Did the students or their parents fill out a questionnaire? Were they interviewed? Or did they make conclusions based on their names?

Can the OP give us a link to the actual journal this research was published in??

Mynd44:
I can see you have called your friends to come help you as with most of you here who cannot hold your own but rely on strength in numbers.

Let me give you a pointer, NL does not work like this. When you "tag" too many people, they will not be notified of the mention. They will only see it if/when they run a search but of course you people don't know.

Barcanista is an illiterate

socialmediaman:
I think your specific problem appears to be doing research without applying common sense, though you are known to intentionally twist facts with deceptive intent.

Now, how do you expect me to be arguing this issue like I was in kindergarten? If the target of the robbery is a close person to the president who is in possession of security documents on the fight against insurgency, tell me why in the world the DSS shouldnt take over the robbery investigation? And what moral rights do you have as a citizen to question their involvement in matters which border on state security based on the sensitivity or magnitude?

He is just an illiterate. That is all

barcanista:
Reception? Hahaha where is he coming from? Amaechi will always find a way to make media headline

You can go and swallow poison if it hurts you so much

This is just a taste of things to come.

jlinkd78:
It is becoming very clear dat Olisa Metuh is far more intelligent and articulate as a spokesman than Lai Mohammed.

He presents his arguement with sound logic, verifiable facts, on d point questions and above all good balance of grammar vis-a-vis rule of concord/proximity devoid of insults, character bashing and pettiness.

On d oda hand, Mr Mohammed tells a lot of lies or better put half truths, very confrontational , arrogant and logic filled with innuendos. I just wonder how come d 'lai' in his name has exposed him to much 'lies'. Watch out for his response to this constructive criticism on him by Metuh and see how he will 'cleverly' avoid d burning issues. U can be sure Mr Mohammed like most of us including me never knew d DSS wasnt d equivalent of CIA but rather d FBI. Metuh has in one piece told d APC spokesman dat d tutorial shd b d oda way with him Metuh d tutor and Mohammed d tutee. If we all accept we learn everyday, apologise when we err and learn to thank n appreciate others then this country will be a lot better for us all. Mr Mohammed over to ur answer which am sure will be filled with hate rhetorics. Metuh has created a verb out of 'lai' with d past tense being 'lai-ed' without even seeming insulting but has no doubt passed a message.

In a statement released on Saturday, Olisa Metuh, the PDP
spokesman, described APC as “a party of shameless and
desperate liars”, saying that the spate of lies churned out by
the APC and its spokesperson in the desperation to
suppress the truth is not only reprehensible but also
symptomatic of lack of character.

Really??
