Ezi ohia!
Yes, P.H is part of greater Igboland, including Asaba. Now, go and hang yourself!

Imagine folks that cook soup with toilet broom, and also derive joy in eating algae as soup, tueh!

Your massive village called ibadam is a ghetto filled with poverty stricken people and it can't be compared with P.H, so deal with it!

Shut up oloribu omo. Koni datun awon obi e, olofo didan, awon obi e masofo ni. Gbogbo ebi e masofo ni,

If you don’t stay in Ibadan, how did you know they sell on the road as if those selling in Ibadan are only indigenes oloriburuku omo. Gbogbo ebi e Makagbako ni

You can only find Ibadan indigenes in Lagos and abroad. I mean real Ibadan indigene not Ibadan wannabe like you who always claim they know Ibadan but deny they don’t live there. Awon alale ile yi oni je ko da fun e

That’s one of the problem we have in Ibadan now. Check Oyo State civil service, other refugees that i know from other south west states are in Oyo State civil service, staying in same Ibadan. Have you seen Ibadan indigenes in your state civil service ? Oloribu omo

You’ll will leave your refugee states working in Oyo State civil service and the reverse isn’t the case. Gbogbo yin masofo ni. Mention your village if it’s as develop as Ibadan now

Oloribu why you no leave Ibadan or dem tie your destiny there? Olori didan alayebaje

Stop being clever by half. What is your tribe in the phantom Middle belt ?

Yorubas are people who originated from Ile Ife and that fact is clear and established .

I'm asking for the umpteenth time , what's your tribe ? Or are you too ashamed to say it ?

Leemao . I finished from UI 2 years ago . I didn't finish many years ago . The ELDS and quota system still hold till tomorrow .

Lemme burst your bubble bro..
Adamawa , Gombe and your Eldorado Plateau states are 3 of the top 6 poorest states in Nigeria according to the NBS

I wish you all the best in your quest to partitioning the middle belt along religious lines

What has the fact that TY Danjuma buys weapons for militias got to do with his multi billion dollar investments in the ND ??
Are you dyslexic or what ?

So you are even comparing the few houses owned by the NigerDeltans with oil wells ?? Haba nah !!

I'm sure 100% of the NigerDeltans would be willing to let go of any their properties in the length and breadth of Nigeria if that would give them autonomy over their God's given oil.

[/b]I can't wait to have 2 land locked Islamic republic of Arewa side by side with Christian republic of Middle Belt [b]

That's would be potential world's biggest open refugee camp in the history of mankind

Livescores:
Oponu was there a TOTAL lockdown in the North and East?

Ogun state Lagos and the Fct were totally lockdown.

We've seen videos of people Fighting the cops for food in SA.( Arguably the most developed country in Africa)

We're seen people queueing up for food in New York and Cali ( if you need proof check Explo.rers thread)

I wouldn't be surprised if the perpetrators of crimes in Lagos and Ogun are from the potopoto republic.

[/b]I thought Lagos is a no man's land? Suddenly Lagos is now yoruba land.[b]

Nowenuse:
I just scanned through the 2nd list (of 2019 batch) and you Yorubas were given a knockout on that list

This confirms what I just said. The list is too long with over 1,000 names if not I would have counted it just as I did the previous one.
There are some pages on that list without 1 single Yoruba name



I have different figures. The last comment I made, I said the school should be 35% Yoruba, 35% Igbo, 20% SS and 10% Middlebelt/Northern christians. That makes 65-35. Check the 2nd list and u will know that I was correct.
Don't be deceived by the letter A Yoruba names that dominate the first pages of the list cos letter A is the only alphabet with Yoruba domination, by the time u get to letter C & N, u will hardly see a Yoruba name.

Abeg, Yoruba people make una go sleep nonsense.

Even if the school was 50% non Yoruba, do you know what it means for a school to loose half of it's students? Will that school not crash?
This also the same reflection all through Yoruba churches. More than half of the members are non Yorubas.

You people should really pray that Nigeria divides on Friendly terms, if not so many money making institutions in Yorubaland will die a natural death.

These are the reasons why I tell my own people that we must work together with Igbos & Nigerdeltans.
If Nigeria must divide, the 3 of us must go together and have at least a sort of Confederacy like the UK where everyone controls his/her resources and nation. We have everything to gain from each other and everything to loose from each other. But u pompous Yorubas thinking u don't need anyone because your settlers dominated Lagos and Private institutions dey catch una, body go tell una when the country divide.

LegendHero:
Bro, I don't talk without proof and I always like to maintain my integrity.

I have been showing you proof to back all my statements while you have been manufacturing statistics and fabricating facts since yesterday. You have no source to all your claims.

@the bolded, Below is the Ibadan might I was talking about. The colonialist described it as the Most Genuinely African city. They even went as far as acknoledging that Ibadan was build solely by the Yorubas without any colonial influence.

First Picture: The Guardian, 16 Aug 1893. They described Ibadan as the "London of Negroland" Do you hear that?

Second Picture: The Guardian, 20 Jan 1913. They described Lagos as Bombay of Africa and went further to talk about great native cities scattered about in Western Nigeria (Ibadan are part of those cities).

Third Picture: New York Times, 25 Dec 1970. Ibadan was described as the Most Genuinely African city built by the Yorubas without colonial influence. They went to say it distinguished itself from other African countries that was majorly planned by the colonialists.

Where the bleep is Kano in all this?

I am still looking for the last journal of 1870 in my archive. When I see that, I will post that too.

Nowenuse:
From the first list.
161 out of 392. 41% of the students had at least one Yoruba name or one Yoruba Muslim name.

This admission was for 2010. I have seen this list before cos a friend of mine got admission this year in this exact last batch (4) and I can see his name here. My senior bro also applied for admission this year, but he got it the next year.

That childhood friend of mine has a Yoruba name but he is actually from Edo state, his mother is Esan and his father is from Akoko-Edo, but I counted him as a Yoruba cos he has a Yoruba name.
So plus or minus margins of error.

So between me and you guys now who was correct? . Yoruba students cannot outnumber non-Yorubas in SW private Universities and I stand my ground on that.

You can do the counting for yourself if u don't trust mine, but pls watch the names very well ooo, many Edo, Urhobo & Itsekiri names sound and appear as Yoruba names, if u are not exposed to these names like someone like me who spent most of my life in Delta/Edo, u will count these names as Yoruba names.

You were actually deceived by the first array of Yoruba names starting with letter A ..... But by the time you go to letter C and N where Igbos dominate, u get a knockout

Cc Myobjective, Legendhero, Ayekotoo, Goke7, Metaphysical Omonnakoda

And mind you, at the beginning of these Private schools, Yorubas tend to have a higher percentage than they have later on cos the school is in their land and they get to know about it and trust it more. It takes some more time for others to trust the school and get used to it.
My brother got his admission in 2011 and the non Yorubas increased in number than the Yorubas based on my counting. It was a 65-35 during his time.

As of now, I doubt if Yorubas will have 30% compared with non Yorubas in Covenant cos the school is now more popular and many Middlebelt, SS and SE parents are willing to send their wards hundreds of km to Lagos.

Ayekotoo:
Nasco group that has her industries scattered across the southwest.

Goke7:
omo they wreck festac no be small just because it was under the purview of FG.

The igbos need the SW more, despite am yoruba, iserved in osun and i know how the igbo corpers confess to some of us yorubas in secret how food and so many other things were more accessible and affordable than their home towns, so many of them stayed back in osogbo for that matter till today. [/b]I met a guy then as far back as 2006 when i served who had been living in osogbo 10 years after he served doing computer business and even married a yoruba girl.[b] The ones making noise on nairaland are just ignorant folks who don't want to admit their undying love for yorubaland.

The Igbos need us more than we need them, simple

7lives:
At 3k, education is already free, how much is WAEC fee?.
My problem with nonsense thats going on in other SW states, especially people with backward state of minds like Ibadan folks, is that women who married senseless men, who can't pay 3k as school fees for their children, will now enter bus to come and do gbanjo bussiness in Lagos.
They constitute themselves into nuisance all over the place, laying curses on LASG task force, for insisting that roads must be free for tax payers, to go about their business as time is money.
Meanwhile their useless born throway children are all over the place in Lagos, constituting nuisance as omo ita.
Now omo kesari, awawa, million boys and other products of irresponsible fathers, will not allow hardworking Lagosians to sleep, abi ko fe da fun awon afofungbemu baba ati iya yin ni Ibadan yen ni?

Goke7:
the guy is only trying to hype his people, nothing more. He knows the truth but as usual they always hype their own heritage to level up. He was trying to compare Ibadan and Jos before he dropped it and jump to kaduna, then he picked up the illorin own to try and disparage yorubas, he will continue to dance around to feel good about himself which is understandable

The greatness of the yorubas is there for the whole word to see. Its just up to us to defend our own heritage by countering the lies these fellows spew especially in a faceless forum like this.

Nowenuse:
You Southerners have become heavily urban over the years. How many Southerners will be willing to go back to crude farming right now? Unless it is mechanized farming.
And unless you Yorubas get your own country, I don't see anyone in Yorubaland investing in Mechanized agriculture when the North is still there.

See bros, unless your future Oodua country's govt is desperately interested in investing in Agriculture against all odds, otherwise it will be futile. Cos think of it, Northern agriculture which will always be next door will always be cheaper than Yorubaland agriculture. Cos we have the vast, larger swathes of cheaper fertile land compared to you guys, we also have cheaper labour.

The average Yoruba youth has been captured by the glamour of Western lifestyle and everyone wants to blow and drive a Benz, that's why if it is not Yahoo or Runs. Forget if for the average Yoruba youth.

Nowenuse:
There is a strong belief on the sabotage of Eastern ports in favour of Lagos ports. I really can't say who is to blame for it. And I don't wish to tow this line of argument.


Of course, Kano has a high population, nobody is arguing that. What we are asking of is the quality of human beings living there.
Why should u compare a people who are predominantly illiterates to those who are predominantly literates?

myobjective:
I don't care how the Hausa-Fulani views the Yoruba. In fact, I consider Yoruba to be a superior ethnic group, hence look the hugely illiterate northerners with disdain.

I still maintain my stand, [/b]there is no way the middle belt and southern Christians will dominate Yoruba in any university in the south-west. No way, my guy.[b]

Even the school in the middle belt have Yoruba in huge number no to talk schools in the southwest. A university like Fut Minna has Yoruba as the majority despite being located in Niger state (north-central).

Forget stories, Yoruba values and invest in education more than any ethnic group In Nigeria.
GBAM!!!!

Goke7:
most folks are just ignorant, so true that a lot of farming goes on along that oyo-ogbomoso-Ilorin corridor which I have seen. Truth is the SW states outside Lagos have been grossly under reported and underrated. No thanks too to the ignoramus on nairaland who come here to spew lies.

Covidodo:
This is an addition to your reply to the guy bro
Beans too..
[/b]But wait , aren't we eating before Nigeria in 1914 [b]

Somalia would be better than Arewa republic when shit hits the fan .
It would be easier for an elephant to pass through the eye of a needle than getting his utopian Middle belt republic and that's a fact

Imagine a lowly minority from the poorest region in Nigeria trying to disparage the great Yorubas

Goke7:
The industries in Lagos are the ones bringing the huge IGR and value to the state and not the corner corner shops bruv

Nowenuse:
The only thing u get from the North is Beef & Onions? Well, I hope u meant only CORE-NORTH?

Middlebelt & Core north jointly provides u with Sweet Potatoes, Groundnuts & Tomatoes. Or do u produce Tomatoes in Oyo state?

Middlebelt exclusively provides u with [/b]Corn & Irish potatoes. And Guinea corn for Akamu.

Then all the other vegetables like Carrots, Cucumbers, Water melons[b], Lettuces, Cabages, Grean peas, Green pepper, Ginger, do u people farm these things? How about Oranges that are 90% from Benue?

Besides for u to think that most of the Yams consumed by Yorubas is farmed in the SW shows how delusional you are.

Plantains & Bananas are the only foodcrop you Yorubas dominate in Nigeria.

Nowenuse:
All the Lebanese & Indians in Lagos put together, are they up to 100k?

And do you think u will feel comfortable if 35% of the people in Lagos are Indians & Lebanese?
People who despise and look down on blacks?

Go to Nairobi, Dar es Salam and these east African cities where Indians were settled by the colonial masters and see the high level of discrimination and segregation blacks endure in their own motherland.
Can you intermarry and integrate with these Indians & Lebanese like the way you people do with Igbos?
You think say na clear eye make Idi Amin pursue Indians commot for Uganda ba?



Seriously, Igbos to me are so much obsessed with leaving their homelands. I myself don't understand why.

If not for the high immigration of Idomas & Igalas into Abuja that have countered Igbo immigration, Abuja would have been dominantly Igbo by now.

Well, I think it could be cos their land is very small, hence creating strong scarcity of land and expensiveness. Thereby a higher cost of living and stronger competition.
Igbos also have a strong Culture of competition. This could also be the reason many of them flee their homelands.

Go to Kaduna city south and see the way Igbos are buying lands there.

ProudDick:
And they all have 60% ibos. You need to read newspapers more.

Goke7:
Lagos is an international city and you guys know it, if the igbos leave, it will only make more room for the indians, chinese, lebanese and other asians who are even more business savvy than the igbos and will only make Lagos look more international. The igbos are the ones who need Lagos more than Lagos need them.

Nowenuse:
Igbos are overwhelmingly Catholic/Anglican, however, currently they are something like 65% and 35% Pentecostal.
In the past, Pentecostals would be like 15% in Igbo land.
Many of their younger people, especially those who migrate out of Igbo land are leaving Catholicism to Pentecostalism.

So pls, Igbos are now a significant number in Pentecostalism. Check Dunamis & Salvation ministries (biggest Pentecostal brands in the Middlebelt & SS) and u will see that Igbos make up like 35% of both churches. Especially the Delta & Rivers Igbos (these ones are not strongly Catholic like those in the SE).

Yes, Orthodox Churches of SUM origin like ECWA, COCIN, CRCN, EYN e.t.c dominate the Middlebelt & the north with like 70%. However, we also have many Pentecostal converts too just like the Igbos and the numbers keep growing everyday. We also have a strong native Baptist, Seventh day Adventist & even White garment population.

And mind you, not only Pentecostal members attend Pentecostal based universities. As long as they are Christian schools, all middle-class christians prefer them for their wards.


Yes, there are international students in Covenant, but what are their percentages? Like 0.5%. My brother went there and I asked him these questions.
As for abroad based Nigerians who come to covenant universitiy, it's almost same percentage between Yorubas & Non-Yorubas and many of these abroad based Nigerians actually get expelled cos they cannot keep up with the strict religious doctrines in the school.


See bros, I was in Tafawa Balewa town in Bauchi some months ago and the town felt a little bit dry to me, considering it's size.
You just know something is missing there.
Hausa fulanis were evicted from that town by Sayawa natives 9 years ago and that was the reason for that emptiness.
Hausa fulanis are an enterprising people unlike we Middlebelt tribes and when they left, the vibes of that place was no longer there.

You and me know that you Yorubas are also not as enterprising as Igbos. [/b] If Igbos leave Lagos, it's not as if Lagos will completely die, no! But it will loose it's appeal, it's vibes, it's cosmopolitanism. Capital ownership & Consumer population will reduce.
I just don't know to explain this for u to get, until u have experienced something like this u won't get what I'm saying.

And who will replace Igbos if they leave Lagos? Hausa fulanis? Beninoise? Togolese?

See, Settlers actually give every cosmopolitan city a certain vibes that won't be there. [b]

Jos would have been as cosmopolitan as Kaduna, but many settlers fled Jos due to the repeated crisis. When I was in Kaduna recently, men it felt like I was in the South. The city was just very cosmopolitan, unlike Jos where natives outnumber settlers everywhere (except for Hausa areas).

Lagos would be like Ibadan if Igbos leave. If Nigerdeltans & Middlebelters also leave, it will be like Ogbomosho, Osogbo or Iwo.

LegendHero:
I tire o my brother. Every success story of Yoruba is always attributed to Lagos by these guys while they neglect the contribution of other Yoruba states as negligible. Most of the Yorubas educational prowess is concentrated in other states and Lagos only had few percentage of the share.

Most Yoruba best public universities, Private Universities, state with highest Professors, Educational Intellectuals, etc. are mainly out of Lagos.

Ogun state alone has high number of Uni than Lasgidi, Proffesors are mainly Ekiti, best universities in UI & OAU, Even Osun state get high number of institution and etc.

But these guys keep shouting Lag, lag lag everytime.

Which east? We don't even need you for anything in Yorubaland. Go and your little space will be occupied the next second.
