Where were top yoruba artists during the yuletide

Lol, like they were not paid to perform. Where are those artistes today?

Those artistes quickly ran out of the east so as not to be suffocated with Akpu infested body odour.

Do you know how many concerts held in Lagos during the last yuletide? Negro, please.

Even your Ezes and villages elders had to throng out to have a peek at Naira Marley.

i did not study economics , but i have an international MBA , the factors that necessitated the emergence of Lagos are no longer there, as at 1967 -70 when Lagos officially was created as a state ,

Lagos thrived as Nigeria;s capital for more than 25 years with all the oil and gas headquarters and major sea ports located there to bolster the city's economy , everybody saw Lagos as their economic capital and the last bus stop for their big investments but all that is changing very fast no thanks to the next level agenda of the Buhari government and the division of Nigerians into 97% and 5 % who no longer see lagos as their economic capital .

As at the last check, states in the former East are either in the process of building or have already built international airports , some are already building sea ports, some states in the south east are upping the ante by building multi billion Naira complexes for international trade , leather industry , food processing industries, and new era metropolis like the AMC in anambra


Dubai was an abandoned and undeveloped hunting ground for Emirati and other middle easterners.
Seoul of South korea was a devastated capital like the south eastern capitals devastated by war with little or no hope of ever making it , there was more hopes for lagos than seoul that south korean capital, singapore was an over grown ghetto with no hope of ever becoming a major financial center. South Easterner Nigeria Cities like owerri, Onitsha, Enugu was flattened , abandoned, razed to the ground, decapitated with no hopes ever of bouncing back.

Fast forward to 2020 Lagos is still lagos state , Dubai is now a Global financial centre and a major tourist destination in the middle east, The total contribution of the travel and tourism sector to the UAE's GDP was AED 159.1 billion (USD 43.3 billion) which is 12.1 per cent of GDP and it is higher than the Budget of Nigeria.
Seoul is now a major Global financial centre with some of the biggest companies in the world, samsung revenue is in excess of $200b and this is more than times 6 of the Nigerian budget for 2020 ,

Singapore is now a Global financial centre , singapore Tourism receipts was estimated at S$23.6 billion in 2014, compared to S$18.9 billion in 2010, with Sightseeing, Entertainment & Gaming accounting for 24.7% of total expenditure, Accommodation making up 22.5%, Shopping accounting for 17.4% and Food and Beverage another 9.6%.
The abandoned and decapitated cities of the south east like owerri, Onitsha, Enugu are now burgeoning centers with capital inflow from igbos in diaspora , very busy Airports and very high capital transactions in terms of bank deposits and a very mobile work force.

Lagos alone shouldn't be your headache, the capacities and capabilities of Yorubaland and its people should induce epileptic attacks in you, since you've sworn to live a miserable live because of Yorubas successes.

Ibadan was the capital of the western region and it was the most developed capital in the whole of the country, with unrivalled innovative policies and infrastructural development, this is because of the cerebral nature of Yoruba people. Irrespective of swinging political conditions, no eastern city can stand at par with their western counterparts due to the economic vibrance, culture, tolerance and attitude of Yorubaland and its people. This cannot change with Buhari policies same also for the barrenness of Igboland whether you get your Biafra or not you land will always come behind Yorubaland now and for the rest of existence.

If you all so wish, turn the whole Igboland into markets, airports and complexes, the whole economic growth and migration you would experience cannot be on the same level with emerging towns in Ogun state. What you term new era cities are gated communities that are found in every corner of Yorubaland. I've lost count how many are there in Lagos let alone Ogun, Makun new city would be far more favorable to live in than your AMC nonsense.

None of your cities were razed to the ground nor flattened, lying will do your collective existence no good, but I feel the need to pat your low-self esteemed selves on the back.

From the analysis of events in the past , present and Future , the possibility of a full blown economic war between the South East and South West is not far fetched.

Instances abound of how Fashola deported some individuals and dumped them at the onitsha had bridge, the continuous yearly harassment of igbo traders in Alaba, Ladipo, Oshodi and Lagos island , the enforcement of Iyaloja over markets dominated by igbos in Lagos.

The deliberate and vengeful Boycotting of eastern made goods by the Lagos Government , like Innosson cars, the more than 1000 check points of police and customs to frustrate igbo importers , the near critical activities of street urchins , cultist and omonile who harrass eastern businesses in lagos during and after elections , one is forced to foray into a possibility of an economic war between the East and the West in the future and how the war will pan out

What exactly are these past events that would cause the full blown economic war between Southwest and Southeast? If not for the generational hatred, jealousy and obsession of Igbos over Yoruba people.

Is it the civil war in which your defeat came from the hands of Yoruba war generals?

Is it the economic, cultural and social advancements of Yorubaland that your forefathers and their forebear are still trying to grasp?

Is it the genius of a group of people who once ruled and lived in an empire interacting with other empires, that are oblivious of your existence if not for the disaster called Nigeria?

You and your tribesmen sit around campfire in your village squares constantly dreaming of scenarios in which it will be possible to inflict some sort of damage on Yoruba, you then wail amongst yourselves giving insidious meaning to every actions taken by Yoruba people - government or individuals.

The Hausas whom as a matter of facts and stats from the formative days of Nigeria have gone on murderous spree of Igbo don't receive the kind of bile that you spill on Yorubas daily, why? Are we your nannies? We share no direct borders, in fact you are the ones thronging into our land to constitute your nuisance.

dopedan:
I see mad men naked in markets and on the road and everyone sees them even children what is your take on this is it normal

So being naked should make them invisible?

mrvitalis:
He was the arrow head of the abandoned property in rivers ...
Same north and west ganged to kill him
It was same Igbo's that fought and tried to free him

How did the west gang up with the north to kill him?

Can you mention the names of the same Igbos that fought for him.

The name Kololo was given to Osun/Oyo Yorubas by Ondo Yoruba because of dialect difference.

Note that even the general accepted Yoruba used for writing and speaking is a form of Osun/Oyo dialect.

Back to the op, when some Oyo and Osun farmers relocated to Ondo in the past they were first employed as farmhand to Ondo farmers, now Ondo Yoruba call farms located deep in the forest 'Oko Igbo' in Ondo dialect, so anytime they tell their farmhands 'we would be going to Oko Igbo tomorrow,' they get worried because 'Oko Igbo' in Osun/Oyo dialect means marijuana farm,(marijuana farm is very prevalent in ondo state) so they tell themselves 'if the farm owners ask you to go to Oko Igbo,' reply 'Ko, lolo' meaning 'Ko ni o lo (modern Yoruba), in english 'I won't go'.

Ondo farmers were confused as to their refusal but when they later knew the cause of the strange withdrawal, it was used as a form of light jest to any Osun/Oyo Yoruba.

shigoslim:
It simple . Her economic power will determine her monetary value of her currency.
Her Gross National product will determine the value of her currency at which she intend to exchange with others currencies.
If her export exceed importation then that country is said to enjoy favorable exchange rate it .

What determines the gross national product? I'm a novice in terms of financial and economic terms.

oyebanji44:
Secession is an abomination

Be reasonable.

You can't wish it away, the prophesied disintegration of Nigeria, many international organizations have speculated about this, different sociopolitical groups within Nigeria, speak about it, even foreign nations with interest in different Nigerian tribes do not shy away from this impending reality.

Well, like the topic of this post, can we discuss what determines the financial strength of new nation in case of secession, the power of its currency that is, it's exchange rate?

Can new country, for instance decide at what rate it's new currency will be exchanged with a dollar? Or in relation with other African nations currencies?

The hate isn't new, neither its intensity, but all thanks to social media, that has exposed such bile to a larger reach amongst Yorubas especially the youths.

Though I find it offensive at times but the truth is, its funny and a thing of comic relief because they can only thunder, Olodumare never gave them lightning.

Even when issues discussed at hand has little to do with Yoruba, they would find a way to drag Yorubas into the heat:

When any member of the numerous niger delta tribe speaks against Biafra, it is automatically Yoruba.

When any comment is made about the spurious claims of IPOB no matter how well intentioned, it equates to hate and jealousy from Yoruba.

Any natural or man made disaster in their region, they concoct tales of how Yoruba is responsible for the disaster.

Even when economic indices are released and it goes against their narrative and fantasy, they believe it was carried out by Lagos Ibadan express media.

Any achievement any member of their tribe automatically makes s Yoruba man jealous.

If there are no sea or river ports in their region, Yoruba in connivance with the North has made it possible.

They open thread with perceived Yoruba sentiments just to substantiate their paranoid delusions of Yoruba hatred and jealousy have for them.

They make jest of Yoruba in case of tribal clash maybe with the north,but when Yoruba returns the gesture when it involves them and the north,they attack Yoruba for being heartless, and on other hand praise themselves for not being sympathetic to the travails of Yoruba's.

Yoruba for the first time went into alliance with the north in politics, something they have been doing before independence, suddenly Yoruba has betrayed southern unity.

These are symptoms of chronic low self esteem because an average Yoruba I know gives no flying fvvck about this people.

Awolowo.

Baba mo juba.

I would've advised you but you didn't indicate that you need matured advice or response in your post.

I give matured advice only.

jieta:
@Ereolamide Sometimes i wonder how some of you sleep at all after giving out stupid advice. like seriously you took out your precious time to put this up.

@op, please look for another partner, though is painful but surely with time you will move on.I believe your progeny should be your priority going into marriage.

Get a spoonful of water and drink.

The Sarcasm in my post isn't for fools.

BroAchival:
Alright.

I guess you've giving your best.

It's siesta time. Try and observe it.

No Mister, it's you who is in dire need of a siesta, you're the one who's planning to wreak havoc into the lives of your fiancée and her innocent children if you can't use the gooey mass deposited within your cranium to make the right decision.

Actually, what you need is a really long sleep because you'll definitely be getting very little if go on with your suicide plans.

Nonsense and Infantile Emotions.

P.S Kindly send your fiancée details to my P.M, I'll sincerely appreciate and reward your gesture.

Bro you don't have to get worried at all. Follow these instructions carefully:

1. Keep your genotype a secret, don't tell her. If she insists, get the test done, alter the S in your result to A with a black Biro( black ink must be used in cases such as these).

2. Proceed with your wedding plans, get married to her since you love her so much. Women are very gullible she won't suspect a thing she is in love with you already.

3. You don't have to bother about your kids genotype, the lucky ones will turn out fine while the not-so-lucky ones will bear the SS genotype, you can also alter their genotype with a Biro and profess positive affirmations into their lives.

Note: You have to be 'churchious' to get your desired result.

4. With this, everything will be alright, and if things turn out otherwise, be rest assured that you'll be fine since you and your wife won't be the ones to endure the pains and crisis that come with sickle cell anaemia, the children will bear their cross bravely from hospital beds to hospital beds

I believe my advice is matured enough, I even checked my spellings, grammar and punctuations for extra marks.

Thanks and God bless.

Have you gone for HIV test?

Maybe epilepsy is in your Gene..heard is hereditary.. dunno tho.. just asking ?

You must've heard from Nne? Because I was her favorite customer back in the days in those red light districts

bonnylight003:
Aba is dirty...the governor has responded ...

But this Lagos ..Yorubaland ..kiniko kiniko is stale..

TBH..NEXT TO ABA IS LAGOS...

Are you or is your phone epileptic?

I hear that Sanyo olu doesn't need to build a swimming pool in his house, he will be coming here to swim on the road?

You've mistaken Sanwo for your village elders that loves defecating as they swim in the dark gutters of Ariaria and Ogbete markets

These people are ready to die over Lagos and Yorubaland in general while their towns are fast rotting away.

Little wonder Igbos run to Yorubaland in droves, only to start claiming developer.

You developed Lagos, Abuja, South Africa, Malaysia, USA, UK; you're the cleanest in the world, the most travelled, most educated, most this, most that, yet pigs will die if they're spend an hour in the squalid atmosphere of your so-called developed city.

Tueh

successmatters:
These people simply have no governor in Lagos, they had a governor Ambode but he was replaced because he wasn't paying enough money to bourdillion bullion van.

This area is only fit for pigs.

The kind of bacteria and virus swimming in this waters can polute the amala and ewedu around the neighborhood.

Better don't quote me, I am hopping into a flight now and there no network up there.

It would do you a whole lot of good if you use that big head of yours, it's obvious you've not been to Lagos yapping about Ambode like a bereaved canine.

If the roads in Aba are as good as this maybe your uncles won't have to come to Lagos to hawk gala.

The best governor in the east is not fit to be a motor park chairman in Lagos state, you think leadership is all about sharing kerosene.

sofiscatedmoron:
which of tne yoruba land do they migrate to, the last time i checked lagos is not part of yoruba land

Go suck on ya mama tities boy!

Are you sure this is the same aba that ibos brag about on nairaland as better than anywhere in the southwest.

Even a pig bred in the southwest would refuse to live in such squalor.

When they migrate to Yorubaland and we brush them up they start behaving as if they don't shit, look at where supposedly sane human beings are sitting to sell, eat and drink, no wonder Ladipo, Alaba and other markets are so dirty

I sincerely believe that Igbos are seriously in love with Yoruba people.

From all their postings it seems they can't do much in Nigeria without the attention of Yorubas, they are like a slutty girl that 'shakara' to get a man's attention but when the guy doesn't look at her she starts to insult the detached gentleman.

The topic of this original post should be YORUBA MY MENTAL PROBLEM

MelesZenawi:
If yorubas are Boogeyman in politics then igbos are the Baba yaga in same politics.

Casa closed.

Whatever.

Yorubas are the truly boogeyman of Nigeria political sphere.

We talk, problem.
We don't more problems.

Let Yorubas alone to bear their cross, whatever consequences result from their actions, don't cry more than the bereaved.

No mention of how Igbos denied ijaw secession from the former eastern region.

Grow up, Man.
