And yet they believe they are better than the West in business. On what planet is this true? We don't brag. We just get things done. That's why Lagos, ogun, is developing very rapidly. With the other Southwest states soon to follow.

Instead of us to use this beautiful platform and the internet, created to bring people together, to brainstorm a solution on how we as Africans can fight against the Libyan slave trade, we're here bickering and pulling each other down like crabs in a barrel. Yet multiple people here are claiming to be the most intelligent here. Am I the only one noticing this irony?

SSBN:
My people this is no joking matter. If we do not kick France out of West Africa Nigeria will be the next Libya within a decade i kid ye not. What does Nigeria and Libya have in common?........thats right, largest oil reserve. Opposition to AFRICOM and other Foreign military bases, and lets not forget proud proponents for regional integration. It saddens me that Nigeria, the most educated minority group in the United States- eclipsing Asians, consistently produce leaders that struggle with articulation.


The last articulate President we've had in Nigeria is Gowon. Shagari talks like he has hot yam in his mouth. IBB spends nearly 30 minutes giving a 4 sentence speech yet still doesnt make sense. Even MKO (no pun intended ) was a chronic stammerer. Atiku Abubakar, OBJ, Yaradua, Good luck Jonathan, Buhari. Oh boy. Nigeria cannot be an effective hegemon if our leaders cannot articulate clearly. Its sad.

This. It saddens me and something drastic needs to be done to change this. We need a Nigerian spring or something similar. This is getting ridiculous

Wow, minister Singapore trade, this might have been his real reason for visiting Nigeria.

prodigy24:
Smart afonja you said. That is to the you that we are not as tribalistic as you. If it were Yoruba company, no single person from head to the bottom would come from another tribe. Yoruba are not capable of managing a company , they have a reputation in rendering companies bankrupt...

That's because you have no choice. You need the Yorubas or else they won't compete on a national level.

This young man is amazing. I was looking at his social media and in 1 year he went from living poor, to wearing thousand dollar suits and traveling to Dubai. He's truly a genius of the stock market. Starting at such a young age, he's probably going to be as rich if not rucher than Warren Buffet once he reaches 60+. He might already be a millionaire in dollars.

paulynpen:
So its only Yoruba guys that are into IT? Hmnmm

It's mostly Yorubas though. I've personally met two Nigerians that work for Google, and they're both Yoruba.

maxtamazin:
The young man is making a point tho but while it's easier for Kanu to manipulate the igbos because they are less educated, it will be a big task for him to control the yorubas because of thier superior intellect.

It won't be won by control, and he doesn't look to want to control anyone, more so wanting people to do things on their own. Using logic and intellect. Which is a better approach. Leaders can be eliminated easily to kill a movement. If many people have significance in the movement, it's nearly impossible to stop.

chimauga:
You should have known that yoruba nation is 60% muslims, and you must have known the way muslims view politics..they always interwoven politics and religion.

60%?!? Ha! Your ignorance doesn't surprise me, because you're not yoruba. And honestly, I know more yoruba Muslims who want restructuring and secession than Christians

Still waiting on some naive yoruba to tell us how Nigeria has benefitted us. One Yoruba man was able to bring free education, free basic healthcare, tallest building in Africa when he was alive, and the first African television service, NTA. Nigeria can't give us simple electricity for over 50 years, struggling with over a century old technology. We might as well be in the Stone age.

ModsWillKillNL:
@laudate

Don't post on the ibo thread again.

The aim of their useless thread is to hit 200 pages and you are helping them.

Their age long foolishness (trying to measure up to Yorubas) has been laid bare before them and now that is their only consolation (hitting 200 pages)

Yes, I've just realized that as well. Same for @deomelo

hilroy:
I know you guys are trying so hard to get to 200 pages, but putting a person's name and picture without a brief profile on what they do, where they studied and what they have achieved is a capital shame.

This thread has proved one thing that you Igbos are empty noisemakers. It is a big shame that the so called Industrious tribe as resulted into picking random pictures online and tagging them with lies without any details

This. It's pretty embarrassing when people compare this with the posts of the other thread.

Sinachi ugwuonye - life and times

wow, looking at that article in the magazine, I didn't know a Yoruba man, Adebayo Ogunlesi, bought and owns London Gatwick Airport. That is absolutely fantastic.

laudate:
You are so right. Something needs to be done about it.

agreed

Cinkq:
The young man has a point but i disagree with his assertion that Nigeria is a fraud. Yoruba is benefiting for being part of Nigeria just as nigeria is also very lucky having the yoruba as part of it. If Nigeria breaks or continue to be, it is a win win for the great yoruba tribe, we'll continue to make progress. There is no tribe in Nigeria that is not benefiting in one way or the other for being part of it,we are not enjoying equal privilege though,if that now warrant calling for the breaking of the country is the question begging for answer in my mind.

Please tell me how Nigeria is benefiting Yorubas. Please. Because I can't think of any.

People who are saying Yorubaland is benefiting from Nigeria are not paying attention. Ogun received 75% of FDI in Nigeria this year, not to even mention Lagos. However Nigeria's FDI and attractivity index has dropped to 17th IN AFRICA, and dropping faster by reducing over 40% over Q4 last year. Last year alone, Nigeria lost 4.5 Billion DOLLARS. Largely due to Boko Haram in the north. Niger Deltas militants in the south south, and kanu anti Nigerian protests in the east. With Ogun primed to receive about 75% of this, Nigeria has cost Ogun ALONE 3.4 BILLION DOLLARS, not to mention Lagos. And yet all these other regions want to troop to Lagos at the rate of 85 people per hour, when the instability of their regions is lowering lagos'investment capital. Do you have any Yoruba brothers, sisters, Uncle, aunts, cousins, mother or father who could've used such investment funds as were lost in Ogun?? I'm sure you do. And what will happen when Nigerian foreign direct investment drops to near zero? Because that's where it's heading now.

So please don't tell me about how Nigeria is helping the Yorubas. We don't need Nigeria, we had kingdoms before it, and we were honestly doing MUCH better without Nigeria. Nigeria needs Yorubas, but Yorubas don't need Nigeria. Not in the slightest.

braining01:
May you keep excelling in the league of morons. Play another card, kid.

Yeah it's getting repetitive.

datola:
Brilliant point!

I am beginning to take this young man serious.

Same here

mercyville:
lol...always delusional.The two threads are eye openers to the affirmations that Yorubas are more industrious,more business savvy and control the Nigerian economy.The threads revealed that you do not even have up to 9% of industries in Nigeria talkless of Lagos where you have posted almost 5% of the industries therein.The two threads had enabled us to know that Yorubas have massive industries even more than our oyibo people in Nigeria.We thank you for calling Yorubas out to showcase their indusries and to the glory of God,it had really been an eye opener as to why SW...Yorubaland...is the 3rd economy in Africa. We love you Ojukus for making this possible.

They think they're behind now. Just wait until Eko Atlantic is complete.

Thewrath:
Unity indeed from your kings

Well one has elected to throw igbos into the Lagos lagoon if they try anything, and the other was on lagos TV the other day promoting Yoruba culture and its unmatched primordial history. So I'd say they're both on the same page despite their half a second social incident. Nice try though.

Thewrath:
Igbo is Igbo,and politics is politics!
Don't confuse yourself.

There's nothing confusing about northern igbos distancing themselves by saying they're "northern igbos", and not with Kanu. There's nothing confusing about ohaneze "disowning kanu,", and there's nothing confusing about Lagos igbos telling kanu not to come to Lagos. Those are as clear as day.

Thewrath:
Everyone follows Kanu,everyone...you dare not!

Except for ohaneze, Igbo politicians, igbos in Lagos, northern igbos, and damn near every other igbo. Wow, even I didn't realize how disunited you all are.

Thewrath:
Can you identify the "igbo Christians"?

Yeah, the ones not walking around with a Jewish cap on their head following Kanu like idiots.

Thewrath:
You coined those words to confuse and give yourselves organisms..they are thesame thing to us!

Oh really? Are you sure? Because I don't think igbo Christians think the Igbo history and culture comes from Israel. Or do you?

Thewrath:
i don't have to,religion is a strong thing the Muslims can never agree with you as a christain in Nigerian politics even if you have thesame father and mother.

does the same ring true for ibo Jews and ibo Christians?

TheKingIsHere:
You have said the truth but your yoruba muslim brothers will soon attack you and ensure this thread is deleted. You sef know na.

Yoruba Muslim? Or the ibo jews?

Which region produces little to nothing and has low resources?
Which region is most dependent on the country?
Which region has never had power to lead this country?
Which region travels in massive numbers to another region for Economic freedom?

Answer all of these questions and it's quite clear who the slaves are.

am impressed with Nigerians especially the omoluabis

That "notable Nigerian Australian" list is dominated almost entirely by Yorubas.
