FROM A TRUTHFUL YORUBA MAN

HOW SAD FOR THE YORUBA NATION

Did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos?

Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them?

And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa ?

Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels in Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned.

So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society.

The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education, but we may be worse than the Fulanis who just roam around the bush.

Why? Because we lack the entrepreneurship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8am to 5pm job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without sowing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious.

We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spray money like coffetti .

Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income gathered for the year?

The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gatherings.

We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show whose God is the most miraculous.

So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years.

Tell me, is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoja Akintola University?

Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi?

But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods. There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and lands.

True, some of them are criminals, but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures always, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sundays in church wishing and praying for divine miracles.

How foolish! As the Igbo youths are meeting and strategizing on Sundays, so that they can gather money and buy the houses and lands owned by our Yoruba fathers, the Yorubas youths are busy in churches on Sundays praying for miracles.

Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly.

It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa Republic. Afterall, the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos?

We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their 'can do' attitude.

The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris in the North.

In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos.

Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society.

*How sad for the Yoruba Nation*

This one na mumu😂😂😂
Igbos buying up everywhere you say? By your logic then I guess 60-70% of houses and hotels in Lagos are owned by Igbos.
You be mumu.
One of the reason Yoruba lands are far more prosperous than the rest is because of our sense of economic Exchange. Unlike the Igbos who will only wait till an Igbo person comes to buy whatever they have to sell in their regions, Yorubas will rather sell, in invest the money in some other avenues.
This was how surulere was developed, so was ajah, ikoyi, omole, ikeja and other metropolitan cities in Lagos.
The badagry indegenes who are hell bent on not selling landed properties to foreigners I guess their cities is the most developed in Lagos by your logic ko?
Receive sense

You don't know what you are talking about

Chief he’s right. Most abroad guys are not as great as people make them seem to be.
If it’s easy, all the lands in ikate would have been bought and developed by Nigerians in abroad considering the total numbers of Nigerians there.
I don’t say you can’t go there and make it, you can but it comes with a hefty social and economic price.
People who have the best chances of succeeding financially in the US/UK are people who are into STEM fields and are geniuses in their respective Expertise.
The whites don’t believe too much in certifications, they believe so well in acquired provable skills and accreditation.

But you were here in 2021 selling Oneplus 8T.

You people should rest so people won't start selling up their most precious properties thinking once you just leave Nigeria... You'll start packing money.

You Dey mind the werey.
All of them are just capping. Even the whites themselves don’t find it easy.

Hi,
Don’t know how you may see this, but i and my friends are about starting an internet company similar to airbnb.
Software already built and we are in the testing phase. We are seeking for some business minded people and investors who can invest resources into marketing.
If you’re willing to learn more about this project and it’s ecosystem or want to know what our revenue plans and road maps are, kindly message me on here and I’ll give a follow back.
Cheers.

As an Engineer which I am also, building car goes beyond constructing main frames of cars. The engine block for example need to be casted by iron or aluminum or related better alloys.. But our brother don't even cast a single iron.. They buy ready made engines.. And say they built car... Bros.. Is all arrangemt..

Also let us go to common plastics.. I saw golf round coolant container in the built car.. Haba.. Even plastic too.. We can't do our own..

Lesson.... The guy try.. But let us always call a spade a spade.. Assembling is different from constructing..







I help register Limited Liability Company with CAC for a token of 75k within 5working days. Over 200 commendations from fellow Nairalander I have previously worked for in my trend

Bros, you ain't an engineer judging from your IQ prospects.

It isn’t necessary for someone to single handedly build each and every piece of a product/machinery/device before it’s being regarded as proprietary production.

Every company in the world today has their main area of specialization regardless of what industry they wiggle on.
Be it the automobile industry, electronic equipments industry, mobile and networking industries and what have you, they all tend to outsource some components to finally garner their finished products.
In the smart phone and computer industry, lots of companies outsources key components from the industry-hearts companies or OEMs (original equipment makers). E.G. Intel and qualcomm.
Most computer chips production knowledge are only harbored by these companies and tends not to share it even anytime soon.
Same thing goes with the networking industries and so on.


Even the iphone you all hailed apple for in the world today has got only the board, lightning port, cables and the OS developed by apple. The rest components are produced and supplied by intel (apple A13 bionic chip), Samsung (OLED panel), ID3 Disk (iphones main internal memory drive) and the assembly isn’t even done by apple, it’s handled by a Chinese base company in shenzen. A company fostered by apple in 2010.
Same in automobile industries. Even a rolls royce Phantom and the pagani huayra’s insane powerful V12 engine was built and patented by mercedez-AMG group.


Learn how to appreciate the little things people around do. Don’t criticize in order for you too to see the light.
