Jos is destroyed, but it looks better and even attracts more foreigners than all other Yoruba cities apart from Igbo economically controlled Lagos. And your filthy Yoruba people will still never leave Jos no matter how much they are killed.
Who is the joke on now?

You have crossed the line here. No plateau group can be compared to any Yoruba. You guys are an insignificant minority that doesn't count in the grand scheme of things.

Your Jos is not even better than Akure... Guy travelled more to have a better understanding of the country you live in.

You Southerners have become heavily urban over the years. How many Southerners will be willing to go back to crude farming right now? Unless it is mechanized farming.
And unless you Yorubas get your own country, I don't see anyone in Yorubaland investing in Mechanized agriculture when the North is still there.

See bros, unless your future Oodua country's govt is desperately interested in investing in Agriculture against all odds, otherwise, it will be futile. Cos think of it, Northern agriculture which will always be next door will always be cheaper than Yorubaland agriculture. Cos we have the vast, larger swathes of cheaper fertile land compared to you guys, we also have cheaper labour.

The average Yoruba youth has been captured by the glamour of the Western lifestyle and everyone wants to blow and drive a Benz, that's why if it is not Yahoo or Runs. Forget if for the average Yoruba youth.

The Agriculture of the 21st century will be defined by how well it can be commercialized and mechanized. Through, landmass, and cheaper labour will play a role but such a role will be hugely limited.

For example, Thailand is the largest exporter of processed Cassava product, earning more than $4billion dollars from the export of this product despite having a much smaller cultivated land compared to Nigeria. What they have been able to do is mechanized it and operate the farm as a business.

Today, Majority of the largest integrated farms are in Yoruba land. The capital is in the west, the biggest market is in the west and manpower is also in the west. It is just a matter of time before the west become an industry leader in Agro-based business in Africa( we already a leader in Nigeria)

Nowenuse:


So, u think few small farms of Corn or Cucumber in the SW can meet up to the demand of over 50 million people living in the region?

Go to any food market in Lagos and see the trailers that bring these things here and verify the amount of products they bring.

So only elites eat Salad in Nigeria? Middle-class people don't eat Salad?

Oga 80% of the food in Yoruba land comes from the North & Middlebelt.

Southerners eat mostly starchy foods that are sourced from two major sources; namely from Cassava and Yam. Cassava only constitutes more than 60% of our source of carbohydrate. Cassava product majorly consumed include Garri, Fufu, Lafu etc while Yam product includes Pounded and Alubo.

More than 60% of cassava is produced in the southwest while the Yoruba produce at least 30% of Nigeria yam in States like Oyo, Ogun, Kwara, Ondo, Ekiti and Kogi.

The major agricultural produces that comes from the core north are beans, spices, watermelon and best why the middle belt provide majorly Yam.

Finally, an independent Yoruba land will be self-sufficient in food production and become a net food exporter.

LegendHero:


Do you know that Dangote intends to build his refinery in Ondo State initially? Do you know?

If not for Mimiko useless politics, that refinery would have been in Ondo state.

You are right bro...Mimiko really messed up. That refinery could have been a game-changer for Ondo state.

What most of these guys don't know is the south-west was way ahead of other region in Nigeria even before independence. Nigeria current system has been dragging the Yoruba backwards ever since regionalism was cancelled.

Nowenuse:


Yoruba muslims will of course dominate Alhikmah overwhelmingly cos Northern muslims no dey like school.
Also, Hausa fulanis despise and look down on Yoruba muslims. The typical Hausa fulani elites will never send their wards to a Yoruba muslim school. Otherwise, American University of Yola & Baze Universities are both Hausa fulani owned private schools and they have the numbers there.
Yoruba muslims do not have a good relationship with Northern muslims. This is unlike we SS/SE/MB Christians who have a better relationship with Yoruba christians and we love education.

There is no basis of comparison abeg.

I don't care how the Hausa-Fulani views the Yoruba. In fact, I consider Yoruba to be a superior ethnic group, hence look the hugely illiterate northerners with disdain.

I still maintain my stand, there is no way the middle belt and southern Christians will dominate the Yorubas in any university in the south-west. No way, my guy.

Even the schools in the middle belt have Yoruba in huge number no to talk schools in the southwest. A university like Fut Minna has Yoruba as the majority despite being located in Niger state (north-central).

Forget stories, Yoruba values and invest in education more than any ethnic group In Nigeria.

Nowenuse:


Alhikmah & Crescent are Muslim varsities, so only Yoruba, Hausa fulanis & middlebelt Muslims like Igala & Ebira muslims can drag that one with you people.

But for the Christian universities, it is impossible!

I was the one who took my younger brother to Omu-aran last year when he was resuming Landmark universitiy.

There is only one park from Warri that goes to Kwara state. Come and see the numbers of people from Warri going to Landmark.
Almost everyone in the vehicle I entered from Warri were also taking their children to Landmark! Igbos & Nigerdeltans.

If only Warri can be like this, how much more Benin, Asaba, Onitsha, Jos, Kaduna, Abuja, Ughelli, Calabar, Portharcourt e.t.c?

When I reached Landmark universitiy, I couldn't believe the number of people speaking Hausa I met with there.
Plateau people, Southern Kaduna people, Adamawa, Southern Borno people (northern christians) were all bringing their wards to Landmark. And mind u, Landmark is a new university compared to Covenant.

My friend who also went to Babcock told me the same thing.
Babcock is a seventh day Adventist school. How may Yorubas are members of Seventh day Adventist Church compared to Igbos & Northern christians?

Let's not even talk about Redeemed. Mountain top can be slightly predominantly Yoruba cos mountain of fire church is not so popular in the Middlebelt & Igbo land. Only in the SS is it very popular.

Yorubas cannot outnumber Non-Yorubas in a Pentecostal Christian university, unless that Pentecostal church is not popular in the SE/SS/Middlebelt.

Yoruba actually outnumber them simply because the school are in the southwest.

Alhikmah university is totally dominated by Yoruba Mulsim. Yoruba dominate this school like 90% of the students are Yoruba Muslim.

Christians universities in the southwest are also dominated by Yoruba, simply because these schools are in the southwest and that Yoruba value education more than the most ethnic group in Nigeria.

Na madness dey worry am

I followed that tweet... The guy himself said " he is from Akwa Ibom/Cross river " but you know children of hate must always blame it on Yoruba.

BoboNkiti19:

Afonja are you the gay partner of the idiot I responded to? Otherwise where the fucck did you crawl out from you irritating vermin? While at it, what state are you from? Let's start the IGR comparison between whatever shit hole you come from and Abia state.

Just calling your senseless ranting out.
Most time people from the potopoto republic brag just about everything, even when the reality point to a people that should be sober about how backward their region has become under the leadership of "kerosene distributor"

Apart from Ekiti most southwest state have better internal generated revenue than Abia state. It will be demeaning to compare any part of the southwest that Abia the shit hole capital.

BoboNkiti19:

Nobody is stopping you from displaying your madness before your Aboki masters, but we both know these thread was inevitably going to degenerate into a Igbo vs Yoruba e-war

The only slaves in Nigeria are those chest beaters from potopoto republic. As you can see, they have hijacked the thread on behave of the northern master to drag their southern masters (Yoruba) and their number one nemesis.

IamAtikulate:

Richest and just little lockdown, Lagos and Ogun have turned to a crime scene.

Richest, yet the national social register says otherwise.

Most Industrialized, you SW top the bailout list

Keep deceiving yourself.

The east wouldn't last a day if it was lockdown because the majority of people there live from hand to mouth.

Staro:



Oga, tackle aboki, leave Ibos.
The post is from an Aboki challenging the Yorubas.
Leave Ibos out of it for now

Since your Igbo brother wouldn't allow us to have a meaningful discussion here, we are left with no option than to drag them.

Herdsmen:


I graduated from uni ife.. maybe you tell that t people in Dahomey

Yoruba still Dey live in 17th century

I doubt if you actually finished secondary school from all the gibbrish you behave been spewing since morning.

You haven't make any complete taught. Are you sure you went to Ife in Osun state or another Ife in Abia?

IamAtikulate:

You foolish sha.

The percentage is used to measure the spread and when you want to attribute those spread to components, you use average.

66% of poor people in Nigeria are in the North. In the absence of figures on a regional basis, you can use average to approximate

There is a difference between, the northwest has 23% of poor Nigerians than to say poverty rate is 23% in the northwest.

IamAtikulate:

We are talking about core North and you are talking about Niger.

Give me location of NASFAT Jumat mosque in Kano

KANO

KANO MAIN PRAYER GROUND, ABEOKUTA RD, SABON-GARI, KANO

IamAtikulate:

Poverty in the North is 66%. Spread across 3 regions and it is 23% on average.

Unemployment rate in the north is 10%, spread it across 3 regions, it is less than 4%

Keep crying

Omo, you be dullard...
That is not how statistic works. Percentages are not accumulated or divided like the way you hard and divide the money or numbers.

I will not be responsible for educating you. Go figure...

Poo

IamAtikulate:

See history.

Do they hold Jumat prayers?

When I was in Federal University of Technology minna, I normally observed my Jumat prayer at Nasfat mosque along Minna bida road after after pankugu....

In Suleja I observe my Jumat prayer at Yoruba mosque victory road...

Countless of time I do the same in other northern cities...

Talk another lie

IamAtikulate:

Yoruba mosques in the North?

Continue lying.

That nonsense can only be seen in the East outside SW

I now can see that you haven't been to the north.
I'm a second-generation Yoruba settler in the north. My grandfather came to the north in 1955 and yet I still bear Yoruba name, married a Yoruba, speak Yoruba, speak my own Yoruba dialect very well and have a general Yoruba outlook towards life.

Go to any northern city and you will see Nasfat mosque, that is Yoruba mosque for you.

DanArrewa:
Igbos naturally pompous hatred...

They even hate themselves... The only thing uniting them is hatred towards other tribes

They deserve all the hatred directed towards them. From now henceforth I will never joined them to criticize any other group in Nigeria.

IamAtikulate:

But I have met less than 10.

FYI, all yorubas migrants to the North except those from Ekiti, Lagos and Ondo drop their Yoruba identity and assume mostly northern identity and they are mostly moslems

FACT

The same Yorubas that have "Seriki Yorubawa" in all the northern states?
The same Yorubas that have their mosque in all the northern states
The same Yoruba that still bears Yoruba name?

Oga talk another lie

DanArrewa:
they just can't stop tagging me a Yoruba man...

They can't just stop mailing and threatening me!

By the time I finish with Igbos on Nairaland...

They will turn new leave and humble themselves on Nairaland... To insult other tribes go dey fear them

I will have to agree with you here...in the other thread I was on your neck but the Ignos are ungrateful bunch that deserve all vitriol coming against them.

Iamgrey5:
There are Yorubas that are Northerners

This Yorubas are given good slots in the core north ahead of anyone from the south, even Yorubas from the south-west can enjoy half of what they enjoy.

Even Yoruba from the southwest is favoured provided you are a Muslim and you assimilate the culture. Average core northerners don't know the difference between northern Yoruba or southwest Yoruba, what they know is Muslim and none Muslim.

For example, Yoruba Muslim from says Oyo or Ogun will be prefered to say a Yoruba Christian from Kwara or Kogi. Reasons why lots of Auchi are doing well in the north despite being from the south-south.

kettykings:


this is purely a North vs West comparison, please do not turn this thread into an Igbo vs Yoruba thread, you can open a new thread for this

But you Igbos are turning into that. How do we explain this to you slowpoke that all the people dragging Yoruba here are Igbos. The only tribe that will turn logic on its head to spite the Yoruba.

IamAtikulate:

Yorubas should learn to travel.

I have met only 5 yorubas in the entire North.

Yorubas are nothing in Kano. Hausas, Igbos and Fulanis run that town and a lot of Hausas are making it legit.

It was in Kano that I know that Hausas get money and they don't make noise about it

Which north are you talking about?
The one in Aba?

Herdsmen:


Nigerians knows them for their lies..
The sit in ikire after drinking garri .. based on what garri reason them.. they just start to spew ignorance and hatred

99% of Yoruba never leave Yorubaland for any part of the country before..

All of them na from Lagos..

There are more Yorubas in the north than Igbos. Don't let the fact that you get involve in retailing business, petty trading and makes the loudest noise deceive you.

I have been to minna, Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, kebbi etc. I see Yoruba in their university as students and lecturers, I see Yoruba in their organized private sector than any southerners.

IamAtikulate:

So why are you talking ignorantly?

You are the one taking ignorantly here pal. It is obvious that Hausa are the overwhelming majority in Kano, it is expected that they will dominate most sector but the few Yorubas there are still more educated in an average, get a lot of formal jobs in the banking, telecommunications and lecturing space. This is a fact.

IamAtikulate:

Stop lying. In Kano, yorubas can't compare

Have you been to Kano before?

Oga, only few yorubas work in the banks in Kano and there are Igbos also.

Hausas dominate those sectors you listed

I have been to Kano and all major northern cities

IamAtikulate:

You are a liar. Go to Kano and see young Hausas making it legit.

In Hausa land, Yorubas no fit compare.

FYI, I know Kano like the back of palms

Major businessmen in Kano are Hausa but what is the percentage of these men compared to the general population? Problynless than 1% while the majority are doing the menial job.

Majority of Yorubas in Kano are the artisans, banker, IT expert, educationist etc. You see, an average Yoruba live better than an average Hausas in Kano.

Odingo1:
Average Yoruba youth that did not go to school are more enlightened than Hausa youth but for best reason known to many of them they decided to be lazy while the Hausa youth work harder to survive

Uneducated Yorubas are the mechanic, fashion designers, bricklayer, Carpenters, fabricator etc. While the average uneducated northern youth are the shoemaker, Mai ruwa, tomato seller, Mai shai, gateman, Mai reke etc

How are they more hardworking?

IamAtikulate:

IGR is basically a product of tax proceeds. It is nothing.

An average Northerner works harder than an average Yoruba.

FACT

How do they work harder?
Even in the north, an average Yoruba is more educated, earn much more, plan better and live in the affluence part of the town than an average northerner.

We are not even taking some of the outright lies made by the writer of this article.

To begin with, there was never a time that the north feed or contributes more than the west or anyone for that matter.

From day one, the north was very poor. The colonial administrator was bailing out the north initially "The British treasury initially supported the landlocked Northern Nigeria Protectorate with grants, totalling £250,000 or more each year. Its revenue quickly increased, from £4,424 in 1901 to £274,989 in 1910. The Southern Protectorate financed itself from the outset, with revenue increasing from £361,815 to £1,933,235 over the same period"

As can be aeen from the above data, at the north pick of earning, it was earning only 14% of the revenue of the south. It is criminal to assume that the north was more prosperous than any part of the south at anytime of her existence.

Secondly, before the discovery of oil, the north was actually struggling to even feed itself and buy essential commodities because her revenue pale in comparison to that of the west despite having much larger population.

At this time, Cocoa, Palm produce and rubber were the most valuable Nigeria export. Out of this three, the southwest was an industry leader in two (cocoa and Rubber) before the midwest was created. While groundnut did not attract much foreign exchange, cotton was produce in a very small quantities.

The oil and gas industry was developed by the private British and French company that invested in it and not any money from the north. The refineries we're built with proceed from oil.

The north has always been an ungrateful parasite, that constantly try to rewrite history but lack the capacity to do so. But since the Igbo hate the Yoruba so much, they will quickly jump into a conversation when the writer was also having a dig at them.

Iamgrey5:
No you are using your village as yardstick not Lagos

There's no where in lagos with more Igbo artisans than Yoruba artisans.

Granted! the Hausas(Northerners) are used to do hard labour across Nigeria because they don't often have the skills to do semi skilled labour, but that doesn't mean they contribute to Nigerian economy than an average Yoruba artisan.

Stop using your village as a yardstick for Nigeria. It's quite remote.

Even in the east, Yoruba artisans are the go-to for most of the technical job.

I was surprised when I was referred to Yoruba mechanic in Onitsha the last I went there.

Most of their Village mansions are built by Yoruba engineers from Lagos and Abuja. These Yoruba engineers, then bring a lot of Yoruba artisans, like Carpenters, Mason, Iron benders, Fabricators, Tiler etc.

It is no competition at all, the Yoruba outright dominate most of the sector of Nigeria economy.
