Yorubas, don't even argue with the Igbos when it comes to achievements. They are absolutely inconsequential. They don't even amount to the Akan from Ghana, Zulus from SA or other tribes across africa, let alone the mighty Yorubas. They only have mouth because they are a part of a country that is the largest population in africa. Let them be in togo or Sierra Leone and no one on EARTH would ever care about them.

They haven't accomplished anything of note, they never had a thriving empire. They were never first in anything. They don't have a significant number of billionaires topping africa's charts, they simply are not on our level in any way shape or form.

WE created the first modern university in West Africa.
WE created the first skyscraper in subsaharan Africa
WE created the first TV station in Africa.
WE created the first newspaper in subsaharan Africa.
WE created tech giants such as Flutterwave, Paystack, nairaland in Nigeria, as well as Calendly all the way in the US.
WE have the most Nigerian billionaires in the top 10.
WE have the first African nobel prize
WE have the two giant artists on the continent with Grammys


WE have done it all. They are not even in our same STRATOSPHERE let alone being close to our level. I'm so glad for this nation to split up. Then they'll return to the level of irrelevancy they've always been in in the hundreds of years prior to Nigeria.

bluefilm:
I taya.

Dey just dey vexx anyhow over this latest development.

Maybe they are afraid the oduduwa republic will become a reality even before their Biafla they have been making so much noise about since 1904.

exactly this. They also haven't gotten over the fact that the Black Scorpion eviscerated them in the war. I don't know if they ever will

Not surprised. Yorubas are brilliant in science and mathematics. The other nigerian finalists in higher age groups were Yoruba as well.

Notasyouthink:
Fraud, fraud, fraud that is all I hear from you without evidence to backup your frivolous claims about kanu.

If you can prove to me beyond reasonable doubt that kanu is a fraudster I promise to start a campaign against him.

Start listing kanu's crimes for me... Each must be backed up with authentic proof. If possible with an audio or video clip.

Let the challenge begin onye gba Oso mma ya

I mean honestly, he's been collecting donations for nearly a decade and has done little to nothing with it. The question is legitimate

Lifestone:
Pure illusion. You can't decide for others, he's is free to rant, some of us do not agree with his approach

pure illusion, you can't decide for others. Some of us do not agree with nigeria. That can be said both ways. Matter of fact. You've been on a tirade all thread. You're clearly either nyamiri or a Fulanis. Regardless, your opinions are irrelevant because you're sitting on your ass and igboho is actually doing the work. Go to the Obas and igboho yourself if you disagree

festacman:
Sunday Igboho is moving really fast. He is already acting as President and Head of State of Oduduwa nation. Like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Igboho and his 'kitchen cabinet' are working hard without considering or consulting the many other interests: States, sub-ethnics, Obas, religious leaders, intellectuals, politicians, etc.

Designing currency before designing the roadmap (for economic prosperity, political stability, social intercourse, etc.) shows the depth of the people involved. No nation is formed in a hurry or without democratic inclusiveness. More than 50% of Yoruba across States must agree to Oduduwa nation via referendum before it will work. Imposition will be resisted with far reaching consequences.

The TRUTH is unless the parts agree, the whole can't function well. The result will be another amalgamation, another Nigeria.

All that pontification and extended analysis is not needed. It can be done after the country has been established. The U.S. declaration of independence took 17 days to write and declare. That's just 2 weeks. And the United States is the most powerful and organized country on earth.

sharpwriter:
Lol.. It is clear that you are ignorant of what happening in Nigeria. This awakening and agitation will be 1year by April and all what you mentioned above are not a problem. Although I haven't verified the authenticity of this currency, but trust me, those in the play are bigger than Sunday Igboho

I don't know why people refuse to realize this. He was sitting right next to professor Banjo Akintoye when they announced the secession. That man has been connected to the royals and has been doing tv interviews (channels tv, etc) about the Yorubas for decades. This is happening. And it will happen fast.

Yoruba Nation is about to quickly become the most prosperous nation on earth!

Happy Independence to all the Yorubas!!!

IYANGBALI:
It’s long overdue. Seun when are you going to change nairaland to Oodualand?

I'm waiting for this as well.

plaindealer:
Just look at the pictures, more brilliant, smart and talented Yoruba wizkids participated and scored very well all the way to the top in the Junior category.

Congrats to these brilliant kids

God Bless them all..

WOW!! Congratulations to all these young geniuses. God has blessed us with the will and and determination to be the best in the WORLD at whatever we do. Continue to reach for the stars!

I honestly had wondered the same. I see partial answers but no full response.

I found this interesting British series that shows Yorubas as rulers of Europe. The TV show is based on a book, but I was shocked to see the all Yoruba parliament and staff in Yoruba dressing and speaking yoruba. It pushes a love story that is annoying, but aside from that it is really interesting and deserves a watch. Yorubas are known to be amongst the most wealthy minorities in the UK. See the trailer below!

Oshigun:
Indeed. I actually pity Igbos because I realize they must be living in the most terrible mental prison to be doing this everyday relentlessly. I.e using everything they can, even very pathetic things, to try and get back at the Yorubas over a war they lost more than 50 years ago.

Most terrible mental prison. You can see their pain everyday. Eyyaaaa.

Its clear Igbos are still damaged with what happened in the civil war. Ultimate humiliation. They have Yorubas on their mind 24/7. It's really sad and pathetic. May God liberate them.

Rugaria:
Voting for a candidate who later fails abysmally in his duties because he's bad at his job is TOTALLY different from voting for an ex coupist, who has been involved in over 3 coups.., ruled the country for over a year in a very high handed way.., made calls that supports proven terrorists.., took actions while in government earlier that favoured other countries more than his country and threatened violence against his fellow citizens, whom he promised to soak in their blood like "dogs and baboon"! These are two different scenarios.. In the first case, you made a simple electoral choice that failed! In the second one, with the benefit of hindsight, you still went ahead to make a boneheaded decision that undercuts the interest ofthe general citizens of your country, by handing the machinery of government over to a wayward tyrant, either for personal or sectional goals.. Totally different, bros..

You know what, you're right.

tamdun:
Am also yoruba and I dey yab my Igbo brothers wella but in this on, God will protect ESN, Buhari is a fvcking bigot

I also agree. If Yorubas are serious about protecting our land, we must speak out against this NOW! Because I wouldn't put it past the north to do the same in the SW with the way we're quickly responding to these bandits and killer herdsmen in kind. This is the beginning of the end of Nigeria.

Nomorelove:
The army can't do shit to ESN

Whether they can or cannot do anything. We need igbo and Yoruba youths to start PEPPERING these governors and politicians in our respective regions on ALL social media en masse to start drafting nigerian referendum documents IMMEDIATELY!!!

I cannot believe what I'm seeing with my own eyes. The army bringing drone strikes down in Orlu and bringing in the military?! For what reason exactly? It seems quite clear already that they are doing this to protect these bandits and herdsmen terrorist. As it currently stands, ESN has only been targeting killer herdsmen and bandits.

With that being said, it is becoming quite clear that Nigeria, and the military, has always been sympathetic to terrorists. What you see happening in Orlu, where the military is intervening to support killer herdsmen terrorist in the east, shows that there is a reason why Boko Haram has never been defeated and will never be defeated. They've been normalized and are viewed as regular criminals by the north, and refuse to end this terror due to it being their kinsman.

With this attack on the east, it proves that Boko Haram will never be defeated, the north won't allow it. Even worse, the spread of this terroristic nature is spreading to all portions of the country. It is untenable, unsafe for women and children. And I refuse the south to suffer the same fate they've dealt themselves in northern regions.

It is high time we SERIOUSLY start to move forward with Oduduwa Nation, Biafra Nation. For the sake of our children and unborn generations. THE TIME IS NOW!

God Bless Oduduwa
God Bless Biafra

Rugaria:
Some people will be asking you, why do you hate Tinubu? Why are you always mentioning his name ? Bla bla bla bla....
These are the main reasons why... Without Tinubu and his vaulting ambitions, there will be no Buhari in power to violate the serenity of a very peaceful city like Orlu.. You inflicted this evil on us all, well aware of the mans well documented twisted views on ethnic relations in this country and his rabid penchant for cultural chauvinism! You know all that, yet you jumped into the boat! All because they promised you, like a starry eyed juvenile, that you will be made the president afterwards! Now this... All those that brought this evil to this land should never know peace! The Okorochas, the Tinubus, the Amaechis, the Fasholas, Ngiges... All of them...

You can't attack people who gave people support for presidency. They are not responsible for how they act as president. They can only hope those who they support do a good job. By your logic that would mean citizens should take the complete responsibility of the failures of those they elect. It doesn't make sense. That is why we vote for others to do the job.

However the people you listed have their own problems when they were in office so criticism on that however is justified.

CSTRR:
In all these, I blame the Eastern governors.

They refused to create a legitimate security force and allowed the brute Nigerian army to make a mincemeat of their people.

Even now, they are still not creating alternatives.
Terrible, terrible governance.

The worst I have seen in this country.

This. This is precisely the ONLY criticism Yorubas had of ESN. It was an illegal setup, and was doomed to fail. Which nigerian entity do they answer to? Did Igbos vote for the people in charge of this security network in their region? All of these are questions we asked because we knew an unaccountable military force is no difference than a vigilante group.

Let this show that it is never good to say things like this. Now it's actually happening.

Based on this video, I am so glad that their antics in Ghana and other parts of west africa have been revealed even to people in remote places of Abeokuta. God bless that kid for spreading the knowledge. Hopefully it continues to spread across the SW region. Definitely ban cow meat for 7 days.

jagorinho:
stop the emotional blackmail, no tribe loves the other in the country, it is an open secret!!! everybody is jostling for the last quid Nigeria has to offer for himself and his people at large.

we ( yorubas) are paying the price for our liberal nature, when the likes of us are warning the liberal ones we look like devil incarnate but now we have been justified.

we are surrounded by covetous and barbaric tribes, that if given the chance, seek to take everything belonging to Yorubas and when you have such people around you, being liberal is the last thing you should practice

I pray we get out of this in one piece.

I wish I can like this 1000 times

gentlestdude:
Are these pics real or are my eyes deceiving me?

computer generated

Nice work. But more on a massive scale needs to be done

Ngorbungor:
I don't know why you guys just love fooling yourselves in southwest, where I've lived as a child, schooled and work before relocating I've not come across such not even one, please what is so special in changing a name to Yoruba name? Is it Sule, or Abdullah, or Taju, or Bilikisu, or Ramatu, or Siddikat and the rest worth changing to

I don't know why this bothers you so much. But it might be becoming a generational thing. Younger Igbos born in Yorubaland end up speaking more Yoruba and English than they do igbo. Some bear Yoruba names. It's not surprising at all. Many young nigerian americans or nigerians born in UK use american/british nicknames. It's not surprising.

Akiara:
Folks. OP and this particular zombie aren't even Yoruba PEEPS.

These two rundown miscreant ls are of FULANI stock. No Yoruba 'no matter how foolish' will rejoice over raped women. The tribe with confirmed rape and brutality against women in Nigeria are Fulani. If dem no see woman rape na to rape cow!!


So folks they ain't Yoruba ...they are certified FULANI uncircumcised terrorist. Immediately you hit them hard ...they run as certified cowards!!!

No one is praising the raping of innocent women. May god be with them and give them justice. But the facts remain that from python dance to ESN, Igbos should be squarely focused on the north and all the crimes against humanity they've continuously done to you all decade after decade. "Yoruba" should be removed from your vocabulary altogether, you have much bigger issues to worry about. The lengths at which NL Igbos go to attack Yorubas would have you thinking they were the orchestrators of these rapings, the python dance, or ojukwus demise.

Adekamkpe23:
You lot make so much noise here one would think you have what it takes to mount a revenge.

They're all talk. From Ojukwu running, to Kanu running to another country, and after the python dance. All they do is run their mouths after running away. Them calling others cowards has proven to be a projection of their own subconscious. They are like chihuahuas. Lots of barking in a tiny body.
