A lot of Nigerians lack cultural intelligence.

Based on some comments on this thread and on social media, it’s a shame majority of Nigerians don't know what they really want. You can't cherry pick some part of military and democratic rule when it suits. No matter the crime, the democratic constitution must be maintained or you'll have a constitutional crisis.

The northeners are trembling because of Ibadan summit. My hope is that SW leaders stick to their guns as the northerners are not willing to give up the feeding bottle without a fight or threat. Enough of status quo.

Now you are talking.

This is definitely cringe worthy. Why are you holding rally in support of a tribalisitc president?

okway2:



This is the same person. When you're done embarrassing yourself, I'll ask the mod to clean up the thread.

This is the kind of odesins Dollyak and her "I am Yoruba by the way" crew drags to this thread.

Listen simpleton, stay out of my mentions. I don't debate with low lives like yourself. Knock yourself out.

shukuokukobambi:


Ah I know. Only Lagos counts in Yoruba land. I think I've heard some pigs and idiots say something very similar. This is why threads like this and the Ibadan thread must be kept alive so that young Yoruba will know Lagos isn't our only asset. There's brains, brawn and even geographic assets.

I used to think like you some 3 years ago until I saw the rabid hate on us from the powder sellers. Then I discovered how empty their boasts and braggadocio was and I threw all gentility to the winds. We are better than them and will forever be. If this is childish pride, I can't help it

If you truly mean what you say about more pressing issues to discuss, start those threads and we'll be there to contribute as much as we can.

I must admit, it's really disheartening to see so much hatred from the Igbos. It is what it is and the response here is understandable.
To address your comment. No, Lagos isn't the only place that counts in SW, but its the only state whose development compared to others state isn't contentious. So Lagos was merely an example.
My comment was more of a bigger picture, if you know what i mean. With respect to your last paragraph I am going to work on it.

I read online that ekiti and ondo used to dominate the waec results. What happened?

All the best shukuokukobambi

laudate:

Madam, I could say the same for you, as you are the one repeating the same question over and over again, even though the answers have been explained to you clearly. Nothing within this thread connotes that anyone is 'beating a dead horse,' as you blithely put it. Maybe you are seeing things that don't exist online, who knows?

Lol. This is now going round in circle. Ciao and my best wishes of course.

Anyways, you guys should continue.

laudate:

The aim has been explained to you over and over again on this thread. So why do you keep repeating the same question? I may not be Yoruba, but I can easily spot the reason for the thread a mile off. It was created to set the records straight. Okay, let me say this slowly and I hope you will get it this time - the thread was created to show that the people of the Southwest (and their kin in the NC) are accomplished achievers in every sector of the economy, who have contributed meaningfully to all spheres of life within this country, and beyond. They can hold their own anywhere, and have excelled in many parts of the world. Get it? Another thread can be opened by your good self, to discuss any other issue which you feel holds more importance, than this one. Hope that helps...

Comprehension doesnt appear to be your biggest strength. Have you ever heard of beating a dead horse? Okay, Yorubas are great and?
Let me ask you a question, if someone were to compare Lagos to any other states in Nigeria would you guys had put so much effort to prove them wrong?
The answer is no, as it's self evident. Now go chew on that.

okway2:


The "I am Yoruba, by the way" crew who offers nothing significant for Yoruba interest, growth and discussion on this forum.

They only crawl out of their holes when passionate Yorubas make an effort to paint Yorubas in a good light.

You won't find them on anti-Yoruba threads fighting for Yoruba image. No, not at all.

They claim to know what's going on outside of this forum and that there are bigger issues, but me thinks they're just the Yoruba coons, niggers and house nigger or whatever they call themselves.

This thing was also on the Ibadan thread crying about the pictures, but did she contribute anything of substance, no.

There is a mature and balanced response as displayed by okuntanla (though I still disagree on the premise behind the continuance of this thread)and then there is yours. Ignoring my post history for a second, I love how you could confidently conclude my contributions toward Yoruba land.

Btw, I applauds all the achievers on this thread. Nevertheless, you can't wish away the hard truth.

Basic123:

The pseudo-yoruba wailing just showed that this thread and that of Ibadan are achieving their aims.Its giving those ewedu picture posters serious headache!

What aim is this thread achieving if I might ask? It's pretty conclusive how anyone who doesn't think in one dimensional ways as you lots are being categorised as pseudo Yoruba.
Perhaps, If you had bother to look at my post history you wouldn't have made such a stupid hasty conclusion. Simpleton.
You guys should continue beating a dead horse while the real issue state at you in the face.

This thread is a spectacular failure. The hypocrisy of Nigerian men is nauseous.

OkutaNla:


Your confusion is understandable yet grossly misguided miss, considering that you're of Yoruba+Igbo parentage therefore I can see why you'll be feeling conflicted about which side to identify with. But you are dead wrong. Your Igbo brothers actually triggered the creation of this thread, when in their usual chest-beating fashion created a thread running down Yorubas, claiming to 'dominate' everything in Yorubaland, blah blah blah. This thread is for record-setting purposes and it's going nowhere.

Firstly, open-mindedness is a virtue. In that vein, I am not sure how my comment showed a conflict of interest or bias. Projecting much?

I am aware of the context behind this thread and this doesn't justify the never ending comments being churned out of this thread. It has now gone beyond reinforcement of superiority into a self-serving nonsense. Anyways, the first 100 pages had already dealt the 'much necessary blow' to dispel any myth (from a perspective of Yoruba) projected in the other thread.

In the midst of challenges currently being faced by the great Yoruba nation, the energy and the number of comments shows a wrong priority IMO. There are simply more pressing issues that warrant the energies I am currently seeing on this thread. Each to their own I guess.

Smh, another example is this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/3941777/ibadan-pictures-development-fastest-growing/32#59950230

Nothing makes me more angry on nl than this thread and I can only hope this overrated self serving thread dies a violent death (sia hyperbole )by getting deleted. It has serve its purpose and is worn out. You could argue over the 'superiority' of Yoruba as an ethnic group over other Nigerians, but how does Yorubas compares to other Africans let alone other ethnic groups from other non African countries.

Did y'all see the latest report about the educational standard in South West? What about GINI, HDI, growth forecast? These are what matters and not a celebration of a select few.
Anyways, Ignorance is a form of slavery. Wisdom begins with an awareness of ignorance. And although it is a fact that education is costly, ignorance is the only thing that is even costlier than education. The sooner Yoruba leaders realise this the better.

More than 80% UK A- level students achieved a minimum c+ in all subjects. How does that compares to the average Yoruba students (The future of Yoruba race)?

Perspective is needed ladies and gents.

Rants over.

sarrki:
I kind of agree

Same youths that produced Gani Adams, Evans FFK,Asari dokubo, Nnamdi KANU and shekau to mentioned but few

Same youth that produced you more like. You lots deserve your leaders. *Raise a toast* to more politician stealing and hunger for the gullible masses.

okway:
P&G Nigeria has an office located in Lagos two manufacturing sites located in Ibadan, Oyo State, Agbara, and Ogun State.

Does anyone have images for P&G building in Ibadan?

Oxtonguy eastwalk







lol Ibo flat head. So envious

Look at my post history and come back with a more intelligent reply. IPOB flat head indeed. Perspectives man.

Majority of these pictures has been recycled from previous topics. Anyways, what is the poverty and the literacy rate in Ibadan? I am more concern about that than a selective glorified pictures which aren't impressive in the first place.

Btw, majority of nigerian houses are boring and generic.

Yoruba leaders are so weak, short sighted and selfish. The sophisticated slogan is merely a face saving excuse.
Btw, this also applies to all southern governors.

The concern should be how to train the students to meet the cut of marks rather than the other way round. The cut-off mark is too low in the first place at 50% (200ish).

I love this. I love the foresight of this group.

loool.... A battery-reliant electric car can use more power than all your televisions, computers, air conditioning and swimming pool pumps in the home combined. What are the incentives for consumers? becuase considering the electricity prices in Nigeria couple with the load demand, there really is no cost-benefit to using this. The electric car may seem viable in countries who do not suffer frequent power outages or even load-shedding for that matter., but not in Nigeria.

JeffreyJamez:


...and why is That?

There’s a sort of Inception-style issue with your statement.
I often find one of the qualities of rape apologist is to use men's plight as a red herring during any debate about women's sufferings.

In view of this, your statement does not show you in a good light.

JeffreyJamez:


.....and who is this worm? If you can't understand basic sarcasm get yourself out of my mentions.

Sarcasm, whatever the intention is out of place in this discussion.

Bolustical:

If not for the fact that you're daft, you would know that everyone is entitled to his political opinions. So quit weed smoking.

Firstly, the narrative everyone is entitled to a political opinion is a logical fallacy, as it fails to establish whether or not the this opinion is true or false.
Which lead me to the second point. All opinion are subject to criticism the moment you post send. Thirdly, no where did I stop him from expressing his opinion nor did I attack him for it.

Now, you are proper daft because not only is irony lost on you, comprehension isn't your strongest suit either. Simpleton, keep it moving and don't let me smack you intellectually.

Bolustical:
[s][/s]

So he is not entitled to his political opinions again. He should quit talking coz he didn't do what you expected-insult the president.

Which lie and propaganda is greater than that of Nnamdi Kanu who claimed Igbos are Jews only to be busted later? Tell me

You are not very bright are you? Who gives a damn about nnamdi kanu, do I look like iPod to you? Address the points and stop using ipod as a moral reference to justify this dishonest government.

I am partisan, so I call it as I see it. Anyways, your comment shows you don't have the capacity to debate about this government. keep it moving.

Lalasticlala

lightblazingnow:
Amazingly!!!¡!!!!!!


If there is truly love in our blood which of course there is, all these brouhaha won't affect our feelings

But mind you, these pictures will generate a huge discourse within the populace...

People, let us love one another and pray for one another that we may healed.

Our world is dying and it would need our collective efforts to make it a better place.

Injury for one is injury for all..!!!!!!!

Quit this idealistic talk and virtue signalling. Fact remains this government has been divisive, hypocritical dishonest and most of all wasteful.
Nigerians have the right to hold their leaders to account without being accused of hatred. Majority of citizens don't have access to world class healthcare and facilities like the elites.

With the amount of lies and propaganda you'll mistake Nigeria for North Korea.

These guys are obviously the big boys in igbo land. They are obviously protecting their interest which I would imagine is substantial enough to warrant such a move.

Again, one of many reasons why Nigeria is unsafe.

Fair play, Northeners surely loves their president. In a sane country he would have been forced to step down.

Isn't it curious how they are more worried about a revert to regionalism than the progress of the country.
Nothing is genuine about this country.
