Alcatraz003:Why do you yorubas keep deceiving yourselves with this sophisticated nonsense just because Buhari is now president? What special thing did the yorubas do to make Buhari president? Everyone knows that when it comes to politiocs the north are united unlike the south which always give them the advantage in presidential elections. All the north needs to get the presidency is just the support of omne region in the south. What the yorubas did in 2015 by supporting Buhari to become president is just a replay of what the Igbos did years back when we sided Shagari and your rat-posion drinking god awolowo lost the elctions. You will not find Igbos running around like headless chickens shouting sophistication like what you deluded yorubas have been doing. Hell the north needs just one region in the south; this is simple arithmetics. Once the north can secure the support of the SE or SS or SW then they have it already so why are yorubas feeling so special abeg ![]() |
Alcatraz003:[size=20pt]Yoruba Youths Have Lost Influence, Respect Of Nigerians - Maxwell Adeyemi[/size] Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence? Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled “Dwindling Oil Revenue: What Next for Nigeria?” posited that today, despite the pitiful state of unemployment in Nigeria, ironically, the nation is still rated as the third destination of investors and one of the fastest-growing economy in the world. Raji noted that Nigeria is a golden land of numerous opportunities for those who are resourceful, ingenious, creative, innovative, inventive, groundbreaking, enterprising, hardworking, focused, visionary and, most significantly, disciplined. Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today. I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth. The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities. The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos. More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas. Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners. The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops. Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths. Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity. I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease. Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively. In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013. The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D’Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself. Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son’s expected defeat. Victorious Buhari’s teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman. In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.

Alcatraz003:See thread below opened by a well known yoruba guy here: Nigeria will never split. I love the igbos and despite their secessionist tendencies, I believe they are the major reasons why Nigeria will never split. This is because, unlike any other tribe in the country, the igbos are the most migrated. You will find them in droves in almost every state across the federation. Go to the most remote villages in the southwest, you'd find a reasonable number of igbos trading/residing and you'd even see some inter-marrying with the natives.. I have too many examples. For any secession to take place, the igbos would have to first migrate in droves back to the southeast but the opposite is what we experience everyday. To back up my claim, Go to any lagos motor park in any south-eastern town/city and you will marvel at the number of people planning to travel down to lagos from there at any given day. If it was left to the yorubas who are fully concentrated in the southwest with a negligible number of persons in other regions, secession or splitting will be a very easy thing to do as a referendum for secession will be easy to obtain from the yoruba people at any given period but same cannot be said for the Igbos as it currently stands. I have to say this though, I believe the igbos create a sort of religion balance in the Nigerian system. This is very needed in the system as Nigeria will most likely be an islamic state without the igbos' major Christian population. I am a yoruba christain and will certainly not be comfortable with having the North and southwest as a country together without the inclusion of the Igbos. There are a reasonable number of Muslims in Yorubaland and I know that a southwest + North-only country will have the number of Muslims overshadow the Christians. The Islam religion with its usually overbearing tendencies (sorry) will want to lord it over minority Christians. I certainly won't be comfortable with this and i'm sure a lot of Yoruba christains won't be too. I seriously don't want to experience what it could be like for Nigeria without the Igbos. God bless Nigeria. Nobody is going anywhere!!! https://www.nairaland.com/2645916/igbos-reason-nigeria-never-split |
Alcatraz003:[size=20pt]YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA SAYS SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI[/size] The Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics; Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and The Yoruba Factor and “Area-boy” Politics. My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was ” Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors” published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled ” The Igbo, the Yoruba and History” (Aug. 21, 1998). In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention. When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy. When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians. Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud. Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation. When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses. For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals. Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists. Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other “nationalities” that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances. To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood. I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys. iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution. The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country. Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity. The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb. After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity. The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered. If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems. By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. Being Excerpts from A Paper Presented At The “National Conference On The 1999 Constitution” Jointly Organised By The Network For Justice And The Vision Trust Foundation, At The Arewa House, Kaduna From 11th –12th September, 1999. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-says-sanusi-lamido-sanusi/ |
Alcatraz003:[size=20pt]Erosion renders 20 families homeless in Ogun[/size] By Daud Olatunji ABEOKUTA—Residents of Abule Oloni Community, Lantoro Abeokuta have called on the Ogun State government to intervene as erosion disaster rendered no fewer than 20 family homeless in Ogun State. Vanguard gathered that many residents have abandoned their various houses to safe their precious lives and properties over the flood disaster. Chairman of the community, Chief Lasisi Shamudeen, who addressed newsmen urged the government to come to their aids. Shamudeen explained that the erosion problem had destroyed roads, property and at the same time, threatening their lives. Also speaking, the Secretary of Abule Oloni Community Development Association Mr. Ayinde Lekan, the government was nonchalant to the plight of the community. He said: “Erosion has destroyed many houses and shops, which had rendered some members of the community jobless. ”It has affected our businesses, because, apart from the fact that some people have left the community because of this erosion, people don’t want to come to leave in the community.” Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/erosion-renders-20-families-homeless-in-ogun/ |

Abagworo:Abagworo leave him for me, I will be on top of his matter. ![]() |
Alcatraz003: ![]() We don't need you to speak for us, leave us to do our thing. Yorubas also need to be set free but fear and cowardice will not let them admit. ![]() I can understand why yorubas are really afraid of Nigeria breaking up, the north will continue their advance from iloring deep into yoruba heartland. They even need Lagos now as they confirmed through Sanusi recently. (They have shown you small of what to expect in mile12 where even a yoruba man had to speak hausa to remain alive.)They have already said they will take Ofa and add to Ilorin should Nigeria break. I feel your pain cos you might end up as a refugee in Cotonou. Lolzzz ![]() |
Alcatraz003:How economically viable are the 5 SW states oga? have you not watched yoruba movies where yorubas from soka, sarki and other jungles are talking of moving to Lagos like they are moving to America? ![]() Igbo youths are all over the world and are still moving. That is the industrous and agressive spirit of the average Igbo man. The competetion in the east is so stiff so we have to move out to take over opportunities lazier people like yorubas cannot see. yorubas are treated like toilet paper in Nigeria I tell you reason why even minority kainkain drinking ijaw militants will be going about donating ogogoro sperm to your wives and mothers. ![]() selah |
Alcatraz003:What sacrifice has the yoruba made to free them from slavery to the hausa/fulani in Nigeria? None because of cowardice. yorubas are eternal slaves to the fulani-Olu Falae. Stop trying to feel among by tagging yorubas along with the hausa fulani because yorubas are their slaves. The fulanis have taken ilorin from yorubas and have threatened to take Offa as well should Nigeria break today. The fulani recently also told the whole world that they need Lagos more than they need the Niger Delta and this is simple; Lagos is their access to the sea. Honestly I would like to see how things play out if this much talked about war breaks out because I am sure that lagos will be forcefully plucked out from the hands of the yorubas who will all flee into Cotonou as refugees. Don't feel for our children, feel for your own children that will continue to service the hausa/fulani. awolowo was a betrayer and back stabber and ended up committing suicide by taking rat poison when his northern master were about to send him to prison again. After dealing with awolowo, they gave special tea to your aere onakakanfo to drink as well and also sent his wife to the afterlife. northerners used benjamin adekunle and after that disgraced him from the army and the guy was struggling to survive, begging for contracts to feed. His children were begging for money to send him to Ghana for medical treatment, ordinary Ghana here not even USA, Germany or UK. awolowo was used during the war only to be denied presidency and was about to be imprisoned by the same northerners for a second time before he committed suicide. selah. |
Alcatraz003:You see, the Igbos are indeed beneath yorubas when it comes to ritual killings, incest, rape, agberoism & owomidaism. The Igbos move to the SW to harness opportunities the lazy yorubas cannot see.(yoruba youths have lost influnce in Nigeria-Maxwell Adeyemi). The yoruba youths go about harassing hard working Nigerians shouting owomida at the top of their voices reason why the okada riding hausas got angry and decided to deal with yorubas in mile12, driving them out of the homes for one week. . There are so many Chinese and Indians in Nigeria and Africa looking for opportunities to harness does it mean that Nigeria is better than China? (Selah)Stop mentioning hausas and then trying to feel among by adding yorubas because according to Prof Wole Soyinka, the Hausa/Fulani are the first class citizen, he never included yorubas. Go figure. Apart from Lagos state which was collectively developed by all Nigerians what else do yorubas have? Why is it that every yoruba I meet is from Lagos state? i don't blame them, who can be proud to be from the five SW states? Wh can be proud to be from ikire or soka? Lolzz ![]() |

konkacid:Chai! Obviously you are still a boy. This write up can only come from the mind of a boy not a man. Marriage is for men not boys. Maturity is not necessarilly how old you are but from your writing, you are still immature. Sorry. |
Alcatraz003:See this shameless man claiming to have conquered Igbos. It was Great Britain & USSR that defeated the Igbos. ordinary minority ijaws have been dealing with yorubas since around ikorodu and ogun states, giving ogogoro sperm to your wives and mother but y'll could do nothing. Go and read your history and see where women Dahomey warriors drove yorubas into abeokuta as refugees. fulani have occupied your land of ilorin and installed an emir till tomorrow you can do niothing. You are right actually, yorubas have conquered Igbos in the sphers of incest, ra.pe, ritual killings, agberoism and owomidaism. Go figure. ![]() |
Please tell them. |
Alcatraz003:Is it yorubas that are liked? yorubas are slaughtered in the north but they secretly cry and bury their dead cos of cowardice. The northerners even deal with the yoruba muslims during riots that usually flee into sabon gari for safety where there is large population of Igbos and MB christians. The rest of the south have rejected the yorubas and even the north you hid behind to fight us are now calling you lots treachrous people and asking others to be very careful of you lots. |
Alcatraz003:Big lie. Go and ask the northerners. We killed more of their soldiers on the battle field with bolt action riffles and Ogbunigwe than they killed our own. I seriously pray the yorubas have their day in modern warfare against the rest and let's see how far you can go. |
Alcatraz003:This shameless thing are you back? yorubas are treacherous back stabbers reason why we will never forget. Your awolowo had a meeting with Ojukwu and agreed that the west would secede should the east secede only to turn around and join the northerners to fight us. He ended his unfortunate life by drinking rat poison(Ratak). For your info it was Great Britain and the USSR that defeated the Igbos and not the mallams or the bats from yorubaland. Despite this, Nigeria suffered heavier military losses than Biafra whose soldiers where armed largely with bolt action riffles. Don't you have shame? Which modern war has yoruba fought on their own? yorubas hid behind the northerners to fight Igbos in 1967 and recently after minority ijaws dealt with you for many months including raping ypour mothers and wives you cowards hid under your bed bug infested beds only to come out after the military had done the hard job shamelessly trying to change into snakes and lions just to fight minority ijaws. You should pity yorubas much more because yorubas are now stealing boiling pots of ewedu to survive and fayose is distributing yams for you not to die of hunger. selah. |
