At least they aren't sticking drugs up their bums like Igbo youths who are abandoning their signature trading for drug-pushing.

Yoruba Youths Have Lost Influence, Respect Of Nigerians
Author: Katherine Baffour
UPDATED: A YEAR AGO VIEWS: 2601 SHARE ON FACEBOOK SEND VIA EMAIL SHARE ON FACEBOOK SEND VIA EMAIL 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 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.[/b] 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.

MutantMetahuman:

Flat head developers

At least he is an Afonja who can appear on live TV program, who are you?

#whereisbuhari

Kanu, you better be careful, these afonjas will poison you

MutantMetahuman:
Who doesn't know that?

They own 60% real estate and 90% business in lagos.
They own 70% of johaNnesburg.
They develop abuja, dubai, cambodia, philipine, china.

Awa people are great.

Keep quiet, your fellow afonjite has confessed

oilyngbati:
Nnamdi Kanu has just proven that man is not to be trusted. I've lost hope in this Biafran project. I remember Kanu saying on radio that he will not meet with any zoo politician. He will not go to Abuja. Is FFK not a zoo politician and what is he still doing in the zoo capital Abuja? Is he not suppose to be in Aba and onitsha meeting with those families that lost their loved ones to this struggle. This Kanu is a big joke.

You are too fast

They scam us with church, we scam them with China importations.

IPOB call the shots now, if you don't fall in line you become irrelevant. Ken Nnamani should have known better

wetin concern IPOB here?

EFCC begins investigation of illegally sold public property in Enugu
By Lawrence Njoku, Enugu | 01 May 2017 | 4:30 am

• Seals off multi-million naira shopping centre commission
Indications have emerged that the anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), may have begun investigations into some public landed property illegally sold under the immediate past administration of Sullivan Chime in Enugu state.

This is as the commission yesterday sealed off the multi-million naira shopping complex sharing a fence with the Enugu State House of Assembly on Independence layout

The yet to be completed complex with a capacity to employ at least 300 workers when operational was boldly marked “keep off, under EFCC investigation” round the perimeter walls and entrances yesterday. All the entrances were under lock and key when The Guardian visited the place at noon. It has raised a lot of dust since commencement of work there over its location in the three arms zone of the state.


The complex, which is linked to two former public officers in the state, was one of the facilities allegedly shown to operatives of the commission recently by a petitioner, Mr Ray Nnaji.
It could be recalled that part of the crisis that arose at the twilight of the immediate past administration was the sale of the landed property for shopping malls after it was carved out from the premises of the State House of Assembly.

The lawmakers had seriously opposed the move on the ground that they were not consulted adding that the location wrong as it was not part of the original plan of the area. They had moved the resolution asking the private developers to stop further construction and urged the state government to relocate the site of the project.

The stand of the lawmakers did not go down well with the state government thus leading to a crisis that factionalized the Assembly and inability of the members to converge till the end of the administration. While the crisis however unsettled the House of Assembly, work continued in the premises.

Sources told The Guardian that the shopping complex is among several other landed property listed in some of the petitions certain persons authored against the immediate past administration.

More wahala for IPOB haters, expecting their usual consolation thread

eclecticbaron:
Brotherly there are 6 geo-political zones in Naija abi? SS happens to be one of them. Now the people populating that zone are the ones that will make up the Nigerdelta Republic.

so you won't join igbos in biafra but you want to steal igboland in your imaginary south south republic?

Who is Ifeanyi Chijioke and who made him IPOB journalist. We know those involved in this struggle, (the whole world know them)

I have been enjoying all the futile efforts by IPOB haters to find some consolation.

omenkaLives:
I swear to God almighty, I was about to say "let us blame this on AFONJA" only to see the comment above.

What a crying shame.

Lol, more consolations, its allowed.

Aufbauh:
Confusion in the enemy's camp
A kingdom that is divided against itself can never stand.

Proposed biafra by the IPOB will be a barbaric jungle where only the rights of brutal fraudsters will be guaranteed.

Lol, continue looking for consolations, it is allowed

If you don't identify with IPOB you become useless, for those who still underestimate IPOB, you are making a big mistake

gnashing of teeth continues for baifra haters
