IbosEnvyYorubas:
They can't! They even tried to force the government's hand, but people are smarter than that.

Imagine, buying products from aba or onitsha, the dirtiest city in the world. Iyama!

Ibos are too deceitful.

My colleague who is IBO by the way, forced me to follow him to aba, since he heard tales of their famed genius, the guy grew up in Lagos by the way, when we got to the shoe section, you'd ashamed of ibo, come and see nails in shoes, irregular odd colored threadings, shiny brittle leathers, ugly igbotic buckles, pedants and hooks, the guy dragged me out so we could return home immediately.

Yorubas shouldn't believe that aba is peculiar in anyway when it comes to manufacturing, if you've time to spare take a trip to aba visit the so-called ariaria international market, you'll be shocked at the mediocre products in the dirty market, go to a-line and see the stupid clothes they proclaim to be of international standard- pure, unadulterated poo, go to the shoe section, ugly shoes that'll make your flesh cringe are the wares displayed in their shops, from school bags, pouches, everything these flatheadds lay their hands on is shitty.

I laugh when they hoodwink Nigerians with their aba technology/manufacturing lies.

Lol....

Am I correct?

If you look at my body physique you will think that I have money.
I had problems and that was why I had no money to pay her. I had a very serious financial problem.”

I hope you won't blame others like your forbears did over
the consequences of their Ebe na ukwa song and the bread label jokes about the death of the sarduana.

But I thought Igbos said weren't affected by economic recession.

Igbos are natural traders endowed with mighty trade acumen, the police should let her go she was just using her child to hone her trade-by-barter skills.

The fool didn't put the ring properly into the lizards mouth.

Idiot boy

Dalek:
thank you o, they think the world still revolves around leather and fabricators. this is 2017 the world is all about ICT and Service industry not shoe makers

The funny part of it all is that we've better qualified fabricators and artisans in Yorubaland but its not something we should be boasting off, heck, we are bigger than that.

Guys stop wasting your time with these Igbo imbeciles, they believe having thousands of metal fabricators, welders, making vegetable grinders and cassava peelers in a locale makes an industrial park.

It's only Igbo's that boast of ten thousands tailors, shoemakers and bag makers; generations of mediocre artisans producing substandard articles as a sign of industrial greatness.

Nwakaumu:
Lamentation of a frustrated yoruba man.So after ranting you ve now unwitingly accepted the the truth that igbos dominate you in business.typical yoruaba ostrich mentality-suffering and smiling.

I agree, Igbo women dominate the ashewo business in Nigeria, Yoruba women will rather be CEO, entrepreneurs than trade their pussy for money.

I believe we Yorubas still have a lot to do, call me a tribalist, bigot, I don't give a fvck.

We've to take total control of the trading in our region, we shouldn't allow these ungrateful, boastful leeches to have a footing in our land.

These flatheaded vermins stifle strangers in their region and boast of group economics, our commerce no matter how trifle they are should be in our possession.

Let the money circulate within Yorubas, let it trickle from the billionaires - millionaires - rich - average.

This is exactly these bastards mean when they profess to dominate our economy: making substandard products, trading and importation.

I hate people that talk about the indivisibility of Nigeria.

laudate:
Guy, I don't know why some people keep wailing that you Yorubas are not seeking to break away from Nigeria. Did you guys pay them to lament on your behalf? How does the Yoruba remaining in Nigeria prevent the Biafrans from getting their own republic? Dem tie una together? Or does it mean that if the Yorubas do not leave Nigeria, the Igbo cannot get their Biafra? I don't get it, o!

Igbos are our children, they need papa reassurance that all will be well before they embark on any journey, the last time they refused to receive our prayers we all knew how it ended, we're used to their sobs.

Jokings apart, Igbos keep wondering how Yorubas are faring well in Nigeria while they suffer, that's the cause of their perpetual lamentation, we've to recommend thirty morsels of amala and a bowl of ewedu to calm their frayed nerves.

laudate:
You are very funny, honestly! You are showing us pictures of table water and canned fruit juice. Do you know how many companies produce these things in the Southwest and the North? Do you think this is a joking matter?

Lol, the kid also posted memory cards as Igbo inventions.

pazienza:
Lol! What safety?
I don't engage in such threads like this. Only ones involved in hastening Igbo separation from Arewa-Oduanistanis interests me.

The only savage rebuttal would be Yoruba main stream agitating for Odua nation where they can enjoy the online existing businesses and productions you are listing here, for themselves only, and not have to share it with others in a parasitic union.

This isn't happening, and we know why.

Better make a clear confession that you need our help to get your Biafra, because we know your destinies ain't fulfilled without Yoruba getting involved.

The businesses and companies listed above aren't your normal akpu and ugwu Nigeria Ltd, these are international, trusted and tested brands that will stand the test even when Nigeria breaks up, these are ideas that takes real brainpower to invent and we know Igbo mental capabilities is mostly limited to trading in 2×2 shops.

pazienza:
I'm Igbo, I had seen this topic for days, and never even opened it for once, until a Yoruba poster here tagged me .

Actually , I thought this was a gloating topic opened by a misguided Igbo to mock Yorubas, I'm not a supporter of that, so I avoided the thread like plaque, can't be drawn into fruitless exchange with Yorubas on account of a misguided Igbo topic.

Even when I posted my first reply here, I still thought the topic was opened by an Igbo, so I didn't care to even read the opening post. You can imagine my surprise when I summoned courage to read the opening thread to discover that the thread was actually a chest beating thread opened by a Yoruba person

It changed the whole perspective for me, and I had to modify my first post.

You're as flat headed as they come.

This thread is a reply to the chest beating thread your gorilla of a brother opened to taunt Yorubas; a savage rebuttal because we don't engage in such nonsense with your dim witted siblings, when we do, like we're doing presently, y'all flatheadfs scuttle for safety.

Fvck love and any perceived affectation between Igbos and Yorubas.

Be ready to convert the likes you get from your hateful comments on Yorubas on nairaland into some protective shields or armaments.

Newsflash: the hate is mutual

pazienza:
Topic doesn't make sense to me.

Could care less about what Yorubas produce or don't produce, as long as we succeed in ensuring eternal separation of Igboland from Islamic Republic of Arewa-Oduanustan.

As long as Yorubas learn to embrace their fellow Yorubas in Benin Republic and stop looking Eastwards for non existing nationhood, I'm fine.

Shut up, nobody gives a rat ass about your stupid agitation for Biafra, when you've succeeded with your secession kindly advise your fellow Igbos never to step into Yorubaland anymore.

Afam4eva:
If it makes any difference for you, i'm not just referring to this particular article. I'm talking about the constant hassling of the right of Igbos to self determination by our Yoruba brothers. At least if you don't believe in something, just leave it be. If anyone should be concerned, it's the Hausas.

Btw, i think thee OP should be banned for the misleading title.

Who are your Yoruba brothers, mention any instance where Yorubas hassled your people about their self determination quest, please don't mention the threads/comments on nairaland.

ODVanguard:
Lol. Yoruba be Babanla won when it comes to BOTH quality and packaging, the kind wey yiboo man no fit ever match. Na the international standard packaging of those iteles confuse the mumu. You can't blame them though coz they used to substandard stuff -- every thing about them is substandard. Awon iran Evans.

You're on point, there is no disputing the fact that Yorubas are sophisticated compared to Igbo, even when it comes to their products, Igbos are very crude, seeing the rough threads and artificial sheen on aba made products is warning enough to their fakeness.

Etizz:
seriously, is there no remedy??

At that stage, I don't think so.

Deedeedee3:
We need to leave Nollywood and create our own. Nollywood is nonsense

You just echoed my thought man, the misconception that igbos created nollywood is a lie that has been peddled for too long.

Yoruba started the TV, cinema, plays in Nigeria, talk of Hubert ogubde, afolayan, moses olaiya etc, those were the golden age of movie production in Nigeria.

When our aba Jews entered into the industry the so-called nollywood went to shit, even now you can't compare Yoruba movies in term of story lines, acting, location, technology to these up iweka productions.


I Will Like To Change My Tribe From Igbo To Yoruba - Nollywood Larry Koldsweat
http://www.informationng.com/2013/03/ill-like-to-change-my-tribe-from-igbo-to-yoruba-nollywood-actor-larry-koldsweat.html

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.

Good lord, the boy is gone.

Your similes eh?

Africans really have self esteem issues, they've denigrated their gods as source of evil while adopted jewish God is revered as a fountain of goodness.

Imagine the poster saying the lecturers have gone diabolical because of the sacrifices you know absolutely nothing about.

Idiots ashamed of their traditional religions.

Maduawuchukwu:
How can people were were fleeing withdraw their money from their accounts? Igbo people even in Lagos were in hiding before a huge number of them returned to the East so how did they withdraw their money? Even Awolowo did not put up such a defence. If the bank books were burnt and they could therefore no longer identify their account holders, how did they identify Yoruba account holders such that they didn't have to suffer what the Igbo people suffered?
The nationalised companies were companies with almost wholly foreign shareholders and they were located in Lagos which was Nigerias Capital and was outside the Western Region controlled by Awo then. As you saying that the benefits of British presence which were rightly located in Lagos which was the Capital could only be enjoyed by the Yoruba? Hope you are well?

The civil war didn't start abruptly, so shove that tripe down your ass, igbos had the ample time to migrate to the east and make withdraws of their money.

Was the 20 pound lie about the Igbos in Lagos or Igbos allover Nigeria, you see why you people shouldn't propagate the same old stupid lies, i dont know Yoruba must wait for Igbos to return from Biafra before they should acquire shares in whatever companies of their choice when indigenization policy took off or maybe the civil service should crumble because igbos left Nigeria, nonsense.

Keep on to your victim mentality.

BlowBack:
[s][/s]

There were dozens of Nigerian officers and men executed by firing squad by their own officers at the front for engaging in armed robbery.

A case in point is the Asaba bank armed robbery by troops under Murtala

Murtala had all officers and men involved in the bank robbery executed.

This was not an isolated case but a reoccurring decimal among Nigerian troops in Bendel and also in Ondo.

The Nigerian troops used the fog of war not only to rob banks but to loot properties and rob civilians.

Armed robbery in Nigeria got a big boost during the civil war and the main perpetrators were Nigerian troops.

Long after the war, the Nigerian Govt will arrest, trial and execute scores of Nigerian army officers and men for armed robbery.

Gowon was advised to demobolise the army of 250,000 strong to peace time strength but he ignored it fearing that this move will purge the majority Christian middle belt officers from the army.

Danjuma complained bitterly about Gowon's refusal stating that the Nigerian army was operating like a welfare scheme with old soldiers.

Prior to the war, Nigeria's defense budget stood at less than 5% with just over 10,000 men strong.

After the war the army accounted for 40% of the budget going mainly to pay low wage salaries of over 250,000 men.

The men of the Nigeria army either engaged in outright armed robbery to supplement their low wages or turned to their war tactics of extorting from the civilian populace just as they did in Biafra land.

So for your information, it was Nigerian forces that robbed, looted and pillaged both behind enemy lines and also in recaptured Nigerian territory.

Stop your bloody lies for once!

Quit barking.

Which of the forces invaded the banks in the Midwest and portharcourt central bank, while then did Nigeria have to change the nations currency?

We know you lots are delusional revisionists.

Maduawuchukwu:
The Igbo government then led by Ukpabi Asika utilized the money very well from all available records. A payment of 3 years allocation could do barely nothing in an area which lost 2 million people and whose infrastructure was reduced to nothing. If an area suffers war you don't give the area the same allocation you give to others. The huge tragedies and destruction requires that far more than the usual funds are accrued to the area. An example is the extra money pumped into the north-east by the government and international bodies because of the insurgency there which killed barely 20,000 people; yet the east got nothing extra, even the 3R's was a failure as the Federal government concentrated on building Lagos while the East recovered on their own with little assistance.
If you want to guage the evil or good nature of Awo, you should ask why he gave the Igbo people with bank accounts only 20 Pounds after the war regardless of what they had before the war; you should ask why he indigenised the economy just after the war and the 20 Pounds policy diabolical policy ensuring that the Igbo could not participate.
Till today nobody has been able to give a sufficient defence of Awo's actions. His defenders either put up weak defences or they refrain from commenting. All these point to the fact that Awo's motives were diabolical and that Chinua Achebes argument that Awo was aiming to demolish the Igbo as he saw them as his true rivals are true; He never believed that the Hausa-Fulani were superior in strategy to him and would humiliate him after the war. Life is funny.

Stop your lies and accept the fact that your people will always have to blame Yorubas for their destined misfortunes, it was noted that all the banks’ books had been burnt, and many of the people who had savings didn’t have their saving statements, many fleeing Igbos withdrew their money from the banks before running home to the east never to come back.

The indigenization policy took effect in the western region and it was not like yoruba took over the companies people were indigenes were legible to acquire shares of the companies in the west, what business do Igbos have with the firms in Yorubaland, did Yoruba also take over the companies in the east, you guys are just pathetic hateful things.
