This happened sometime ago but is still important
This is a YouTube content creator with over 1 million subscribers
His offence was having a Nigerian passport

However Addis Ababa is a well known hub for Nigerian drug traffickers and international development experts

He was searched and when nothing the officer grabbed a pair of gloves and took him alone to a toilet he described as filthy and asked him to poop right there in front of him

Afterwards dismissed without apology

I know Nigeria will be great again one day

When that day comes let the records show what happened and let our children not forget these dark days


Ethiopia!

The land alone as at then was worth 300m. The house is worth like 500m but ali baba paid 200m. Amcon and ali baba una be thief

Clearly, we have a situation in Yorubaland where proper due diligence is no longer done by the King makers.

Once you have spent time abroad and are able to put some money down somewhere, your royal ties suddenly evaluate you to a position you don't deserve.

Sadly this is the way of the world right now. Whilst royalty in Yorubaland needs modernisation somewhat with younger, more vibrant people dragging it away from the "fetishcentric" nature, I think the wrong ones are creeping into it now.

In Yorubaland normally, bad behaviour by Kings causing deposition is punishable by death, obviously this won't be acceptable nowadays so maybe that needs to change.

There should be scope to remove this fraudster (and the Oluwo) and replace them without the ultimate penalty being paid.

has always been that way. Priests took bribes in the olden days to deny people their rightful throne. Uncles or younger brother got thrones over the first son. The current system is even worse. Oluwo of iwo was deported from the usa in 1999 yet he became king. The kingmakers are just hungry people

Lies that never happened

But South Africa is the only major African country that can be rated higher than Nigeria. So, it was uncalled for you to describe it as a shytehole.

At the rest of your post: number one: the person who earns £3K per month in the UK would most likely earn at least $6K in the US. The US has the richest set of Black people in the world. Nigerian-Americans are the richest set of Nigerian diasporans. Real estate agents and developers in Nigeria have attested that diasporans who purchase properties in Nigeria are mostly from the US and Canada. Nigerian exporters have stated that they made money selling to Europe and Asia, but made a whole lot of money selling to the US. The US economy is significantly larger, more diversified (with many hubs for various industries that offer higher salaries, not just London), and provides more economic opportunities for Black people, regardless of nationality, etc. Enter Reddit to read where young and ambitious Europeans grudgingly accept the fact that they earn more in the US than they would anywhere in Europe (aside from Switzerland). On a strictly salary basis, the US is the first place in the world to earn the highest salary for any skilled professional. Even in the UK, lawyers who work for US' companies earn more than those who work for UK companies (See below).

Your post is a coping mechanism.

well said. Only the usa can produce something like this and Ogunlesi ( even simon guobadia) . Meanwhile in the uk they are stuck with african shops, real estate agent and fake COS selling 😂😂

Do you know that as of today many yoruba raised in Lagos can't even speak Yoruba... Their parent take delight in speaking English to their kids and that means that Yoruba culture in Lagos will erode away there are many factors

Another factors is marrying non Yoruba... I also noticed that many Yoruba take delight and pride in showcasing non Yoruba wives as trophy

Well... That's another way of eroding culture in Lagos cos those kids wouldn't even be tuned to yoruba

So
1. Selling of property
2. Speaking English to modern kids of Yoruba descent
3. Marrying non yoruba
4. Relocating after selling property outside Lagos


This will make the Yoruba culture to change....places like FESTAC,LEKKI, IKOYI, AJAH, SURULERE,AGO PALACE , AGEGE PEN CINEMA...Yoruba culture isn't there or minimal

That's what will happen in future to other parts

last response to you. In 1999-2003 my dad used to take us to a mister biggs in festac . The whole stretch of amuwo odofin was a single road and swap. No houses there. No one stopped Yorubas from populating it. What was the culture there? Same for ajah axis ( ojomu kingdom) before vgc and chevron. Its called development. If you go to those places the so called settlers can speak Yoruba. Yoruba language is even the face of afrobeats and igbo/ akwa ibom/delta artists even use it. You go to any market in Lagos- yoruba is the language of trade. Igbos in alaba are speaking Yoruba too. So go and rest with your imaginary fears

This man na my former boss. E hard me to criticize him. But this is BS😪

christopher123:
how many of us will still be alone in the next 99yrs ...

Do you know if the society will change by then and with the way this is happening...I doubt in the next 99yrs if the language and culture of Lagos would not change

what is lagos culture? 150 years ago. It was yoruba, saro/aguda( returnee slaves), British colonialist etc. majority of the deltans, igbos, Hausas in lagos can speak yoruba. When there is oro do other tribes not comply? The kingships are still held by Yorubas. Many settlers in Lagos have gone back to their own towns/villages to take royal positions etc.

Come 100 years nothing wil change

Because of 30k stipends some people will defend nonsense. Imagine California governor going to Washington to wave trump off

Mumu talk. They didn’t sell it . All lands on lagos are under 99 years lease. In every country there is a commercial hub which most is bought over by non indigenes or rich people in the country. Make una rest

Sowore the rascal at what point will you grow up and stop this fake activism. I blame macartur and ford foundation for supporting this cashivist

Guy facts don't lie.. Social media hype has made united states look so better but up there are facts.

I don't even want to mention

1. Security or lives.

2. Social Welfare

3. Education

4. Crime rate

And so on...

Believe it or not, United States nah hype.

console yourself all you want. Even uk citizens know their country is no match for USA. Manage your 35k a year salary in your socialist UK with tiny homes.
Lived in uk for 3 years by the way over 20 years ago

20 trillion economy vs 4 trillion economy lol. Usa that encourages entrepreneurship and chances of earning over 100k are very high. When compared to the dying UK where most Nigerian immigrants earn less than 40k a year 😂

Divorcee dey give marital advice? This is 2025 women no go gree this kind talk

These people deserve death penalty because they are indirectly killing people

omoredia:

lanresz:
The issue is that we can all talk about what we face. There is no where on earth that is perfect.
Canada lost 66,000 jobs in August and unemployment rate increased to 7.1%. That's a reality and people need to voice it out. It doesn't mean that some people are not finding jobs but the number of people who lost job is more than those who find job. People need to be aware of such developments.

this is IRCC on Twitter posting this. But if an immigrant like us tells someone its not currently worth it/ easy to get we will be labelled as haters who want to burn the bridges 🤣🤣

NuCypher:
Bro, you are not alone in your "wondering". It's not only baffling, it is also weird. Naturally, one would think that on such a thread, where pretty much every single person got into Canada through its near open-border policies, people would be a lot more welcoming and accommodating. It's truly shocking to find that the near reverse is the case. I find no other explanations besides the classic pulling down the bridge after crossing, or worse, internal frustrations with Canada such that restricting opportunities become the go-to solution for these folks. For the first case, you have people who no longer share the sufferings of their fellow brown and black folks, having managed to overcome some of these sufferings themselves. They no longer feel in touch with most of their own people, squarely because they now live in some measure of comfort. In that case, it's just selfishness or perhaps lack of empathy, something not that far from the self-absorbed man. For the second case, I'd like to believe it's just their failure speaking. They are unable to make the country work for them, regardless how hard they've tried. The solution then, must be pulling down the bridge and barring any more immigrant from sharing in the bread that, to them, doesn't appear enough to go around. Whatever the case, these are two scenarios that paint a self-consumed, apathetic population that does not represent the true Canadian ideal of warmth, openness and accommodation. It's just crazy. One of the more reasons I can't take this thread that seriously any more.

in summary we should keep deceiving/ window dressing the current situation in Canada? I for one warned people to stop using student visa to come in when students were going 6 -9 months without a job and PR no longer reachable. For the permanent residency that most of us came in with its also no longer straight forward and achievable like it was 3 years ago. None of us here were responsible for the drastic changes. The unemployment situation was the major driver. Anyone that has made up their mind to come to Canada will still come regardless of what ever they read here.

Egun is yoruba

they have their own language and culture. Moved from present day togo benin to badagry during the Dahomey wars of the 17th century 😩

Fake. The glasses are the same

Penguin2:
President - Yoruba

IGP- Yoruba

Force Spokesman - Yoruba.

A clear break from tradition where IGPs appoint officers outside their region to make for balance. But we have irredentists who don’t care.

A government of the Yoruba, for the Yoruba and for the Yoruba.

hundeyin is Egun not Yoruba. They are minority tribes based in badagry
