Yorubas produced semo, pounded yam and amala lol

Ereolamide:
Even nollywood that igbos claim they started o( which is a blatant lie anyways) is now dominated by Yoruba(even the english speaking movies) while we've ours on lock.

The longest comedy series broadcasted over west Africa was conceived and still produced by wale adenuga

The highest grossing movies in Nigeria are Yorubas brainchild(talk about afolayan and ayo makun)
The best movie producers, actors and actresses in africa are Yorubas check amvca awards list.

Let's not even talk of the music industry.

OreMI22:
Nobody needs to be in doubt that the north wants to status quo to continue so that they will continue to cheat at everybody's expense.

The truth is that the north does not have the ability to stop us from living freely in our own land. So, no matter what they say or not, we will forcefully manage our own affairs because they will never accept to any fair or just arrangement.

coptic:


Diversity is a strength everywhere, whether in the workplace or societal settings.

A heterogeneous group is better at handling a range of complex challenges than a homogeneous one is. Our larger diversity of backgrounds, skills, histories, and talents make us better equipped to deal with difficult and unpredictable problems.

For instance, the Yorubas are good at education, technology, finance and entertainment. The Igbos are good at business and football. The middlebelt is good at farming. The Fulanis are good at cattle rearing. Not forgetting the mineral deposits in the Niger Delta and their educational levels. The Hausas are good at trading and traditional medicine. That's something. On the other hand, a homogeneous group is similar in a lot of ways. So you often find that they largely tend to have similar strengths and weaknesses.

Look at America and you would see the potentials of a diverse group.

It's just that in Nigeria, we have failed to realise even the smallest of our promise.

we need that age barrier clause in our constitution, imagine some idiots have already launched the buhari2019 campaign in the southwest.

Efewestern:


If you say so, but I think you should respect their decision, the op an itsekiri man acknowledged the fact that itsekiri is a dialect of Yoruba, he even said his ancestors migrated from ijebu, truth is that you can't separate itsekiri from Yoruba when it comes to language, but they choose a new identity. let us not fight over this.

@deedeee3 I doubt if you have ever met with any itsekiri man b4, see the way you they throw jab give itsekiri people, some itsekiri's are pro Yoruba have met some even Here on nairaland e. g asaimaigho is pro Yoruba, while some are pro ND, so it's left for them to decide if they want to belong to oduduwa or not

Opiletool:

Supported

excanny:


Sadly for you, they are. Just that their own dialect is now corrupted than mainstream Yoruba. It written all over them that over-Yoruba dey worry them.

AworiLagosian:


This guy you are just a shameless Igbo troll pretending to be Yoruba.
That was the same way you were also trolling in that thread about Kogi Yorubas wanting to re-unite with the West.

What exactly is your problem?

Iphone7SPlus:


Kini wahala e?
For your info, if Itsekiri won't join Oduduwa republic, consider us in Ondo South senatorial district out.
We are joining Niger Delta republic too.

It is like you Oyo people think being Yoruba is all about you.

Naijareward:


Thats why we are not one Nigeria.....

Why cant we foucus on one language if we are one. Lets Dump English and use one native language...

kn23h:


I agree.
Sugbon ti awon Itshekiri so pe won fe join Yorubaland, kini a fe so?

kn23h:


So you're Yoruba? O lucky gan o. I gotz one hot reply for you, but mo ti delete e.

OAUTemitayo:
Am inquisitive a lot.
Moreover I have a big project I want to do in the nearest future. Knowledge of Itsekiri will be an added advantage

AkinPhysicist:


Its more complicated than that but I agree. Itshekiris are now a distinct group.

kn23h:

Who is us? Je ki n mo ki n to da e lohun daaaaada.

OROSUNBOLB:

OAUTemitayo:
I know the numbers. So many words there are familiar with Yoruba so I understand them immediately.
I must learn Itsekiri.

zombieHUNTER:
You don't need anybody to tell you that Nigeria is a failed state..
The citizens are the cause of it
They watch and fight each other along religious and ethnic lines while the elites are in unison looting the country dry with reckless abandon
They country is on auto pilot
It's heading for the hills
And the incapacitated man at the helm have refused to relinquish power
Do you believe that there are still citizens who go about defending Buhari based on religious and tribal sentiments

attackgat:
The only people afraid of referendum are Yorubas and the Northerners.

AshiwajuFoward:


Smh. Guy, is that how much you hate the Okuns?? I wanna believe that you don't have comprehension problem, coz this thread is about the umbrella Okun socio-cultural group saying that they want exactly what you are saying is too late for them. Dude, you're not even one of them, yet you're talking crap like you know what's best for them. Na wah for you o.

You even derided them earlier by calling their part of the state underdeveloped, yet you don't want them to reunite with their brothers in other to better their lot. So obviously you enjoy their second-class and underdeveloped status so that you people can continue to marginalize them. But guess what? You are a joker. You don already fail coz they will be reunited with their kith and kin, and you will be alive to witness it. #Real talk. #Enemy of progress.

Viergeachar:
@AshiwajuForward and dee02

Let's all learn how to disagree to agree.

We can all converge at a middle ground.

Restructuring is the way forward.

Yorubas were enmeshed in a bitter civil war for decades until colonialists took over all our territories.

How are we sure we wont tow that path once again when we become fully independent and there are more common enemies?

Let us make the best of Nigeria.
