Let me help here, this was my question :

..but how did you just arrived at your 51% because having just checked the link I found just one ibo
?

Please do include stats in whatever you choose to provide as prove.

Why are you wasting your time with dat e-goat? No be today people dey begin deceive igbos to make dem feel important small or to get their votes. Even the Northerners sef do it in order to 'pless' to their mumu button. But at the end of the day they still remain everybody's slave, abi why else do you think they keep demanding their 'freedom' from the 'zoo'.

Am sure even to u it sounds odd n weird.
I will answer u with what my south african colleague in the office said to me one day .
He said this and i quote "i identify the igbos by the look of their skin,they are usually fresh ,clean n look well fed .
While the others especially the Yorubas look untidy n hungry"
No be me talk am o na southafrican Man talk am

Yinmu. You and I know that your imaginary 'south-african colleague' never said anything of such, coz SouthAfricans are well aware that you lots run the drug-trade in their country and indeed the whole of Africa (#Fact). But peep this, An Asian interrogator is on record for calling out Igbos as the curse of not only Nigeria but Africa. And dude, I promise you that I didn't make that up (like you did in your post without proof) coz I have iron-clad proof right here. Scoot over the timeline of the footage below to 5:09 and weep for your people.

No matter how authentic the list may or may not be....Those listed above build those estates and how many Yoruba people live in them?? Most are habited by igbos(fact).

Yinmu. Yeah, and that's why you people are always complaining about Yoruba landlords refusing to rent out houses to you lots in the same Lagos? Dem use lie swear for una? Just the other day a Yoruba lady I know had to stand-in for an Igbo lady friend in this same Lagos coz all the landlords she approached refused to rent out apartments to her. You people are hopeless and incorrigible liars. Smh.

Go n collect Ur school fees from Agbanigbekokoro modakeke mushin secondary school, the headers is " Developers", not estate developers. Have u been to Coscharis Avenue or the over 300 capital oil branches in Lagos.
P.S: Please use mouth pad, rubbish is leaking from your brain

Capital oil branches you say? What tha funk is that?? Or you meant to say Capital oil gas/filling stations? Why do you people like to lie like this? Asides the capital oil mega station on lagos-ibadan express way, the one at mushin-isolo, and the okota link road one, abeg wey these '300' capital oil 'branches' in Lagos?? Oando alone has more filling stations in Lagos than capital oil does in the entire country (including the SE), not to mention Forte Oil and Con Oil which are all Yoruba owned. Even the abo.ki owned MRS sef has more stations in Lagos than Capital Oil does. You people can lie for Africa.

Ode. Technology has nothing to do with the european or Arabian God. Did Jesus or the God of Abraham assist you people during the civil war?? Even recently the Nigerian army dealt with ✡ipobs inspite of their star of David flag waving. Chukwu okike abiama was nowhere to be found then o. The same diety watched while hitler rounded up and massacred 6-million European Jews like rats via his gas chambers. Chinese and Japanese don't worship those same western gods o and today they are power houses economically and technologically. Even western countries don't carry religion on their heads like gala anymore. Abi no be dem dey perform and legalize gay marriage?? You people had better quit deceiving yourselves.

Omofunaab2:
Kabiyesi is right..

A friend of mine recently changed his Surname to Oluwayinka from Ogunyinka.

Some parents have abandoned Traditional Yoruba names for names that ought to be given to dogs.

Nowadays, You see Children bearing names like covenant, Godspower, Thanksgiving, Offering etc

Christian movies too are not helping matters

True words. That's part of why I give kudos to Yoruba movies for still largely staying true to our traditional roots by promoting the traditional aspects of Yoruba culture; they are not shy to promote ifa consultation alongside pastors and alfas. Our people need to be very careful not to allow religious differences to erode our shared cultural values as this will certainly spell doom for us.

aribisala0:
The third World question is about quality of living on average for the WHOLE POPULATION
China has the second largest economy that is true but not relevant to whether it is third world or not.
A man earning 1 million Naira a month with 100 dependents has a bigger economy than a man with 100000 a month income with 2 dependents.
The population of China is HUGE and there is widespread inequality . To answer whether or not it is Third World one needs definitions and parameters. There is a huge population of people living in abject poverty in the rural areas in China.

You did not answer his question ,rather you are bluffing. He asked for PROOF

Let me put it like this if China were to get anywhere near 1st world standards this planet will be in serious environmental trouble
On average Chinese standards of living are VERY FAR from first world in terms of education and health care

Take a look at this list


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

Your definition and perspective of the subject matter is too narrow and subjective. The whole 'first, second, and third world' concept is a legacy of the 2nd world war and the cold war, which divided the countries of the world into 'first, second, and third worlds' on the basis of those nations that are capitalist, 'western', and that fought on the side of the U.S and the U.k (first world), vs. the communist bloc whom were considered 'second world', while the neutral/non-aligned countries were relegated to the 'third world' status. In other words, according to the Western victors, you weren't 'first world' if you weren't 'democratic' or didn't practise their style of capitalism. Thankfully that criteria has now been rendered outdated.

If you can go as far as giving me a wikipedia reference to your private/personal interpretation or understanding of the criteria for deciding what makes a national 'third world', why are you narrowing it down to just nominal GDP? What about other more current and equally valid criteria that includes how industrialized the country is, literacy rates, life expectancy, and the Human Development Index? Those are the expanded benchmarks (according to wiki) that are used in determining 'first-world' countries today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World).

But even if we were to go by the original criteria, China still wouldn't be considered 'third world' but rather 'second world'. According to a UN report, the country has managed to lift an unprecedented 660-million of its citizens out of poverty in the last 3-decades. Ironically, the same Chinese are the highest FDI contributors to most of the 'Richer', 'Western', 'First World' countries today. Bottomline is that the Chinese have been able to develop themselves in accordance with a homegrown model that disproves and defies traditional Western norms concerning economic development. I can't shout.

cnwokike:
Proof?

Like seriously? If you have to ask then it means you are highly ignorant. Anyway, FYI, China is now the second largest economy in the world behind the U.S (and is poised/destined to overtake the U.S economy pretty soon). If any country boasts of as much infrastructures as the following Chinese cities and still isn't considered 'first-world' then even the U.S isn't one. Only NewYork and Chicago can come close to matching the skyline of Chinese cities. #Fact.

China and India are Third World countries my friend. You should not forget that Orile, Okoko, Ajegunle are also in Lagos.
Don't be fooled by the pictures.

Guy, stop talking crap. China is NOT a third world country. Not anymore anyway.

deedeedee1:
That guy will still ignore all the sensible point you made. You dont know these people. They are lost.

It's really a pity, I tell you. Other Nigerians can't turn to wanderers like Igbos just for the sake of it, coz there's a critical economic-based reason why ibo people choose to leave their region en-masse. Igbos have shown/demonstrated little confidence in the economic viability of Igboland, yet they and the likes of Balarabe expect others to emigrate there en-masse as a criteria of their 'One Nigeria' patriotism? To do what exactly? It's not done! That place isn't economically viable. Not only Yorubas but most other ethnicities (including the igbos that chose to emigrate en-masse) avoid the region for the same reason. We need to quit deceiving ourselves abeg.

aolawale025:
If the Nigeria restructures ie going back to the 1963 constitution. That may keep the country together

Sorry but I do not share your optimism. This Musa man was talking a whole lot of crap. Where was Balarabe Musa when Igbos were in alliance with the Northerners (or when they were in virtual control of GEJ's administration) while mainstream Yorubas were in opposition? All of a sudden now Yoruba people are now the problem?? It's the 'One Nigeria' Yoruba advocates that I pity coz no matter what they do, the igbos and Northerners will still doubt their commitment to 'One Nigeria' -- even though they once fought and spilled their blood to keep the country together, Igbos will continue to view them as 'traitors' while the North will also perpetually view them with suspicion (like this Balarabe Musa man just exhibited).

During the last Independence day celebrations, which other set of Nigerians openly showed more One Nigeria 'patriotism' than Yorubas? Which other region is the least hostile to non-indigenes from all-across, sells land to them, open up their markets to them, while creating an enabling environment for them to thrive and prosper in Nigeria than Yorubaland? Igbos have shown their willingness to dismember Nigeria not once but twice (Biafra 1.0 and the recent 2.0), yet to Balarabe Yorubas are the problem??

Yorubas had better start planning for a post-Nigeria future coz it's inevitable. We are better off respecting each other's bounderies, trading and living in peace as neighbours (as we have been doing with Togo, Benin and Ghana) and as separate countries than this current 'One Nigeria' setup/arrangement.

jerryunit48:
Igbo boys been making Nigeria proud since 1960

Slow your roll abeg. Does that include those Drug barons/traffickers 'making Nigeria proud' in Indonesia, Malay, India, China, SA dem

The koko of everything he said, in summary, is that Nigeria is a hopeless contraption inhabited by pesudo-citizens who espouse mutual suspicion towards each other. I shake my head in pity at any one that still nurses the hope that Nigeria won't eventually disintegrate. Regardless of how long it may take, the Nigeria project is destined to fail coz the foundation upon which it was laid is faulty, irreparable, and fraudulent. And the earlier it happens, the better for us all.

scholes0:
I was about to say just that.
The passion he was exhibiting in the matter shows he was personally affected.

His post history proves it. He was disturbing/trolling us on that Yoruba entrepreneurs thread some weeks back. He's a big fool/troll.

scholes0:
Are you high on cow dung?
Adetayo or whatever in the abyss of hell you call yourself... Igbos can leave Nigeria yesterday for all I care.

And I can see you are a very uncultured brat who does not know how to chose words wisely when addressing people.

That guy you replied is a confam flatthead, don't be deceived by the Yoruba moniker. There are many of them lurking around this forum trying to deceive people.

PrecisionFx:
.
U can lie, dribble n parayarn as u like, but facts are facts. U said all professors in the university of Ibadan(via the table u posted) represents that yorubas have highest number of professors. I gave u a list of 24 professors in ur listed school and 5/6 were igbos against what u made us believe.

Quit deceiving urself onye ala² .

Igbos are far far ahead.

deal wit it.

Listen up punk. You are a typical empty chest-beating, jobless and stupid fool/troll. Nowhere in my post did I claim that 'all' U.I professors are Yoruba as you falsely and mischievously allege, what I said was that Yorubas constitute the predominant bulk of U.I professors (as well as other SW-based unis whom obviously have the highest numbers of professors in the entire country), a fact which your own list only further buttressed -- showing Yoruba professors comprising 79% of that list.

You people are well-known for making up stuff, throwing around and claiming fictitious and phantom percentages that you fail to back up with evidence, and when confronted with superior and fact-baesd evidence that trashes your lies, you sulk and obstinately hold on to your own clear lies and fabrications. Up till now you have yet to back your NUC claim with any single proof, neither have you been able to refute this thread's premise with any fact-based rebuttal.

You can continue believing your own lies if it makes you sleep better at night, as long as you confine such fantasies to your own little bubble coz in the real world only fools like yourself would your likes seriously. Now fvck off my mention.

PrecisionFx:
Thank God I saw this link, it's from University of Ibadan website.


The names of about 24 professors in their school were listed and about 5/6 of them which represents 25% are igbos.

loser.

http://googleweblight.com/i?u=http://ui.edu.ng/content/list-staff&grqid=Sk4n4O5E&hl=en-NG

Boy, you have completely lost it. You are yet to unearth your phantom NUC data that purportedly proves that Imo state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria. And the only list you could muster in a failed attempt to save face is list a of 24 u.i professors of which only 4 (Odinka, Okwaligwe, Isiugo-Abanihe, and Okpala) are igbo -- Liz Adenike Emeke is a confam Yoruba woman married to an igbo, while Umoru Onuka is Ebira. Only in your twisted mind does that represent 25% of that list or prove your fake imo claim. I was clear in my submission in my post that you quoted that U.I (and OAU) professors are predominantly Yoruba, a fact which your own list only further buttressed -- I also could as well pull up a list of Yorubas on UNN's faculty to show you that Yoruba professors exist there, so what?? Now you see why YOU are the real loser? In the meantime, we are still waiting for your nonexistent NUC list.

Oh no. FFK has been infected by the same potent virus of delusion afflicting ipigs.

PrecisionFx:
IMO state has the highest number of professors in nigeria.

Ur stats are extremely misleading. In nigeria professors are not restricted to teach in their state if origin, there are everywhere. So u can't use that table as a tool. IGBOS are known to leave in hundreds of thousands or in millions across every state in nigeria so wen measuring anything, Ur kind of stats is JSS3 stats.

Guy, show us this elusive NUC data you keep parroting or fvck off my mention coz nobody's buying your crap. At least the author of my own data was bold enough to make his findings public, you world-famous and renowned liars should make yours public as well or stfu.

PrecisionFx:
Why are u posting table of Nigerian universities and their number of professors

If university of ilorin for example has 500 professors, how does that translate to 500 yoruba professors...



In ur list schools like esut and ABSU have zero professors.

You guys are a bunch of losers. #Fact. Go and conduct your own independent research and counter Okebukola so you can be taken seriously. So all your SE professors would prefer/rather go and teach in SW universities while neglecting your regional ones huh? You guys are always fond of putting a spin on and muddling things up just to save face. UI has the highest number of professors in the country and is reputed to have predominantly Yoruba professors, #FACT. Ditto OAU. The onus is on you and hornyofife to prove beyond reasonable doubt that your people constitute a fair amount of the SW uni professors. Either that or you quit making empty noises.

KemjikaEme:
What is you people,you people?
I got my information from Nuc data base which was released in the recent past. If it no longer tally with what is obtainable right now then it is not my fault.
Does a research showing the highest number of professors currently employed within the academic system equate the total number of professors produced by each ethnicity in Nigeria.
I don't rely on that sort of sentiment. As at the last report, the East turn out the highest number of professors.

Liar! You are obviously the only person with access to this your so-called 'NUC database'. Why are you people like this?? Dem use lie-lie swear for una?

KemjikaEme:
Wrong! Yorubas and Igbos should give credit to the British for bringing Western education to their colony and setting up schools and importing teachers to teach the ancestors.
No group in Nigeria can take credit for the positive dividends of colonialism in colonial Nigeria.
My information is sourced from NUC.

Poppycock. I dare you (and PrecisionFX) to show proof from the NUC to back your claim! You people are scammers. Where are these Imo professors? The igbo guy that made that false claim about Imo having the highest number of professors never presented any shred of evidence to that effect, in the usual igbo fashion. Peter Okebukola (pro chancellor of Crawford University) recently carried out a thorough research on the number of professors in most Nigerian universities. You people should counter him with your own findings, make it public (like Okebukola did) and then you will be taken seriously, rather than making spurious claims. Okebukola's findings are consistent with this OP's coz SW universities still dominate the list with the highest number of professors (as shown below). You people should stop this nonsense of cooking up stuff just to massage your own egos.

The 'developers/hardworkers' as usual. Uk chapter sef dey. Na so dem dey fund dia businesses.

MyNewJackeT:
Ondo should build the same way Lagos built for itself abi?

Ondo state government should seek investors to build one if they want one coz FG won't come and build it for them. FG is no longer in the business of solely building ports, same way they would rather leave the building of refineries to the likes of Dangote. States should stop being lazy (and quit blaming Lagos) and instead focus on creating enabling environments that would encourage investors to willingly commit their funds towards such projects in their states.

MyNewJackeT:
the same way Lagos built for itself abi?

No, The same way Lagos has decided to build Lekki and Badagry ports for itself. The same way Akwa Ibom is showing commitment towards building Ibom Seaport. Even Kaduna, a landlocked state, has been able to build a dry port, while some lazy landlocked people are still finding a way to blame Lagos as usual. Last time I checked, no one is preventing shippers from shipping to the other ports in the country. That shippers find Lagos ports more economical isn't Lagos' fault now is it? Na wah for una o.

0m0nnakoda:
Lagos has stolen their destiny spiritually

As in eh? I just tire for their matter. They should siddon there and continue blaming Lagos for their problems.

gists:
While I am a supporter of this administration, I don't think Fashola is sincere with this call. Or at best just to divert incoming cargo temporarily to other states and when the roads are finished, they will simply return to status quo. This is a government that is proposing another port in Badagry. Is it that they don't know the traffic implications for the state? If it is for the development of SW (as people tell me), why not take the coming port to Ondo state because they also have access to the sea? At over 20million residence, Lagos is already too congested. I am not an expert in the shipping industry but from a laymans perspective, it makes no sense to have another port in addition to the existing well-function ports in tiny Lagos.

I'm sorry maybe I am myopic and not seeing the bigger picture so I will appreciate an intelligent explanation. The only reason I can think of is if its is for political reasons. Since Lagos has now become like a fortress for APC and Ondo (even Ogun) may not always be guaranteed to be ruled by APC government.

When will people stop blaming Lagos for their own shortcomings and laziness for goodness sake? Ogun is currently getting more FDI in the manufacturing sector than Lagos coz it is leveraging on its proximity and landmass, we don't hear Lagos government sulking and lamenting over that, rather the state is still creatively coming up with other ways to attract investors into its other sectors. Are you people suggesting that Lagos should just stop growing because other states are lagging behind and refusing to develop?

If Ondo wants a port it should build one for itself (or seek investors that would be willing to commit the funds towards that) the same way Lagos is planning to build two new ports abeg. Dangote initially wanted to site his refinery at Olokonla in Ondo but the state govt in cohorts with the locals were giving him problems so he rightly sought a more investor-friendly state -- Lagos. People should quit trying to guilt-trip Lagos for handling it's business and maximizing it's god-given potentials/advantage abeg.

Na saraki dey see himself as fulani, those guys still see him as an "Afonja" when the senate president tussle was going on, the core Northerners suddenly realized Saraki was yoruba and thought it would be a mistake if Yoruba should be Number 2 and Number 3

Na wetin e chop bellefull am. When the chips are down the owners of Nigeria won't hesitate to slap some sense into he and his likes and remind them they know they are 'Afonja' and not one of them.

You just dey get sense.


Those fulani herdsmen are bastards, They constitute a greater threat to the So called Unity of this country than Ipob

It will interesting to see the way saraki reacts to this, considering that he likes to see himself as one of them. This country is a sick joke.
