I know you are pained.
If your man didn't starve millions of people to death in an effort to make them return to Nigeria, your won't have all this pain. After the Biafrans had been chased back to the east, he ought to have stopped and let them be. But NO. He ensured that he had to use starvation, when he couldn't defeat the soldiers.By now Lagos would have been totally yours. But he was greedy targetting the oil in the former eastern region. The oil used to develop Lagos ( seaports, airports, rail system, roads, bridges etc) And now you want to have them all to your self. Ol boy you greedy..Oh....

Its not my fault. Its ONE NIGERIA folk. You can go and contest in Aba...you are welcome.

Awolowo staved you to stop you from invading yoruba land

Covidodo:
Let me make something abundantly clear .

This is 2020 and the Yoruba Nation would never be blackmailed for our political choices again .

For almost 40years, the Yorubas played opposition politics untill 1999 when the death of Abiola and NADECO ushered us into the mainstream of Nigerian politics.

Infact we were called perpetual cry babies of Nigerian politics because we were always in the opposition. ( The great Obafemi Awolowo who is arguably the greatest Yoruba man in the history of Nigeria opposed the Hausa/Fulani untill his demise ) .
From the 1959 elections till the botched 1993 general elections , my forebears were in perpetual opposition to the Fulani hegemony politically .
Infact , Ladoke Akintola , a former premier of the defunct Western region became an enemy of his people due to his purported alliance with the core North . Today , the only thing left of the name Ladoke Akintola is the state owned university in Ogbomoso .

Go through that link and see that even as recent as 2011, we were in the political wilderness lamenting ( for a lack of better word)

Did the Hausa/Fulani start being your enemies in 2019 ?? Because the last time I checked the whole of the North bar Nassarawa and Taraba soundly rejected a Christian Minority from the ND and instead voted overwhelmingly for the Fulani Muslim Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 general elections.

From 2007 till date ( over 12years ) , no Igbo man ( a majority tribe ) has been in the first 4 positions in this country while Northern minority Christians like Mark and Yakubu Dogara have been senate president and Speaker within that same period . ( I intentionally
Skipped Danjuma and Jack Gowon ).

Don't you think these situations were made possible as a result of the machinations of the Hausa/Fulani Muslim you always berate albeit hypocritically .

Ironically , many Northern minorities hold important positions in ACF and even parrot the born to rule agenda of the Hausa/Fulani more than the scions of Dan Fodio .
For example , Audu Ogbe, a Northern Christian was just elected to lead the Arewa consultative Forum .

Don't you think your so called disdain for the Hausa/Fulani is a bit hypocritical because what happens on the ground ( outside Nairaland) is totally different from the picture you always paint here ??

Perhaps the love-hate relationship between the Northern minorities and the Hausa/Fulani is too complicated for a bloody Southerner like me to understand

Nigeria is a jungle and it would take more than the cries of a hypocrite to set things right .

Conclusively, the great Yorubas are in no way scared of you and your folks as you are in no way a threat to our aspirations in every ramifications ( Politically , Educationally , Economically or Culturally ) .

You can see right through the hypocrisy

Akanbiedu:
Nice one.

Forget all the noise against Hausa-Fulani. All it takes to douse it is give Igbos their posiiton, VeePee. If you want to make it sweeter, relegate the Yorubas.

All the other idiots like Nowenuse trying to form alliance with Igbos will be thrown under the bus.

Na Naive Yorubas dey join the noise against Hausa-Fulani.

2 bottles

Obamaofusa:
First, you are jealous of Ibadan because it ts the 4th economy in Nigeria while Anambra is the 16th economy with a very high external debt and paltry 19+ billion naira budget..

Secondly,like Azikiwe,like recent Igbos.
Azikiwe cried ..no man's land...until his mouth was dipped into the muddy land of alaigbo as a dead man.Too bad he couldn't carry...no man's land to Abakaleke.

You and the other chanters will go the same way as Azikiwe,then your children,your children children,etc .oh my!

Looooool

Redcrafton:
So people from Kwara and Kogi who speak Yoruba can claim Lagos?

Which book are you reading?

Inferiority is tearing you apart.

Actually yes
Lateef Jaksnde was the governor of Lagos
James Faleke of Lagos is from kogi

Yorubas are culturally united

forgiveness:
First of all, Ibadan is more cosmopolitan than both Jos and Kaduna.

Secondly, part of SW formed part of Abuja.

Thirdly, it was wrong in the first place for British to allocate lands to Yorubas in Jos. No Yoruba man will support and fight for land grabbing which tantamounts to injustice. Kudos to the Yorubas for given up the land.

Fourthly, every human being with his own philosophy. Yorubas philosophy is to achieve their goals and they have many ways to do that. Yorubas singlehandedly sponsored and used NADECO to fight against Abacha. Yorubas singlehandedly forced the whole country to present Yorubas as candidate in 1999. Yorubas were significant in ending the Civil war. Yorubas used press to kick PDP out of power. There's a saying that goes like this.... there are many ways to catch fish.

Hause Fulani knows the group to fear most. If you think Yorubas are cowards, good luck to you.

Your wasting time exchanging with this one
He’s already on anti yoruba
Nothing you can say can change it

AmuDimpka:
Before we can take you serious get back ilorin

Have you taken back your delta igbos

AregbeFufu:
More comforting lines, same old stale trash.
New ibadan city indeed, be showing me universities and roads, very soon the 3D estates will follow , anything to hide their filth.
This is the ibadan that 90% of residents there know and relate to.

Ibadan is arguable the oldest city in Nigeria it has never been conquered so your pics of brown roof means nothing
The funny thing is Igbo Land is not as prosperous as Ibadan

BeautifulMind2:
I detest propaganda

I don’t have time to be exchanging pics

Gracchus:
He is one of those Twitter intellectuals. Sadly, we have bastard Yorubas on Twitter like that who indulge their stupidity. He attack Tinubu like tomorrow no dey for Twitter yet this same tinubu has never been interested in their states, he has no business in their states, Tinubu's only offence is that he is the God-father of Lagos politics, pray, tell me, what concerns an Anambra man with Lagos state politics? What does Lagos share in common with Anambra? Do they share land borders, Rivers? Hell no. Yet he spends is time attacking tinubu on Twitter while he comes to nairalamd to defend Anambra.

Due to lack of political leadership the Igbo have resorted to attacking yoruba leaders

BeautifulMind2:
Typical Yoruba states

Are we still on this bad pictures

LegendHero:
Well my grandmother also make 700k in profit per month by trading in a local market in Agbeni. That is higher than an entire family income in many SE states.

In fact, my friend mother residing in Akure, made over 900k by trading biscuit in a local market at Olukayode. This income is also greater than most of the families in the SE.

The day I went to Nkalagu, I weep for the Igbo race. Their gradma are driving bicycle and that was when I remember how they always run away from SE to the Yoruba land because they will die of poverty if they remained in Alaigbo.

Do you get my logic?

The typical yoruba woman with buka is making over 800k monthly which is x4 of the typical Igbo family

Sammy07:
Wait, I don't even think you guys have been to west before.

What do you think your brothers are selling that made them billionaires??

No point of arguing with people who don’t operate on facts

The journey
First, they travelled with Aunty Kiki to Maiduguri.

Then a 12-hour journey to Abuja followed. They spent the night there in the home of a woman who knew Aunty Kiki.

The next day, after a nine-hour journey, they reached Enugu.

Aunty Kiki took them to a compound where she handed them over to an elderly woman she called "Mma" and told the girls to do whatever the woman asked of them.

"The compound had two flats of three bedrooms each, filled with young girls, some of them pregnant," says Miriam. "Aunty Kiki said it was where we'd be working."

At first, the girls thought their jobs were to clean the compound and do household chores as Aunty Kiki had led them to believe. Their new employers, however, had other ideas.

A daily torture
"Mma asked that we stay alone in separate rooms for that first night," Miriam explains. "We were surprised because the other girls in the compound were sharing rooms, some of which had four people in them."

Goke7:
I have traveled to the east very well, its not as livable as the SW reason your people flock to our land. I did NYSC in osogbo Osun state, even as yoruba person, met and interacted with many igbo graduates who served and were or still living in osun state. One secret confession they made was the surprised availability and affordability of food in state like Osun than in igbo land. When one corners your folks into a room, they begin to open up and admit the ease of life in the SW than in the SE. Am not deceived at all by online rants and lies. The migration of the SE people to the SW says it all. Let's all admit it.

Period even one was telling me he wished he was yoruba that he likes our way of life

lozanni:
I was born and bred in Lagos State for your information, so I am privileged to know about yorubaland and the East, unlike you who have never left Ijebu before for any other part of yorubaland
The dominant means of transport in your place is 'Bolekaja', the truck that packs human on long hard benches facing each other.
Even in Lagos when Igbos travel with their commercial buses during the Xmas, the town ends up looking empty.

Lagos is not all of yoruba land there are 7 other states Yorubas are present

If you want mock the means of transport it’s the same thing that’s used in the east it’s only igbos that use those long buses due to poverty in the land they can’t afford to fly

Also Igbo land is like kwara state size hence while yorubas fly for their long journeys igbos use bus

Why do you think most pilots in ng are yorubas

lozanni:
Lockdown done lock your reasoning.
Where is The world Reknown IT giant, Emegwali from?
Who owns mega transport companies like ABC, Chisco, Young shall grow, God is good, GUO among others?
Where are the Industrial cities of Nnewi and Aba located?
My guy go oil that head to lubricate those rusty parts.

I bet your one of those igbos who has never lived in Yoruba land hence this stupid statement your making

Those companies are mostly used by igbos to and from Igbo land it’s not the dominant transport means in Yoruba land this is why i said no point arguing with you

TundeBricklayer:
In all you listed please list Yoruba firm let compare with Igbos

I don’t have time to argue with people who are hell bent on living in their own delusion

Looooool severrrrreeeeee pains

Sammy07:
I didn't see Slap44 and Mrvitalis .

An average Ibo is a millionaire.

Igbos have the most billionaire per capital .... whatever that means

Sammy07:
Ekiti should buckle up


And some people want us to believe "An average (......) is a millionaire

Incase yorubas are wondering why all of them troop to yoruba land look no further than the statistics

The typical “. “ is loud mouthed with 0 substance

ifex370:
The igbos that hate are just a small minority.. Most likely the ones you surround yourself with.

The other tribes that hate igbos are also small minority stop basking in victim hood

meekhat:
The Igbos have refused to forget the painful experience of the civil war and Nigeria has repeatedly told them to their faces that they will kill them again if the need arises. That's mostly why they dish out hatred and RECEIVE HATRED in return from Nigeria. NOW HERE THIS:
While I pity the Igbos in Nigeria because of what they are passing through, I also pity Nigeria for her ignorance.
The truth is that Nigeria will remain a mess as long as they keep holding the Igbos down.The reason is because No Nation ever progresses without patriotism. Igbos currently hate Nigeria as it is now and they will continue to paint the country black especially on the international scenes. They are gradually beginning to achieve this using their travelling advantage. WATCH OUT, VERY SOON NOW, OTHER COUNTRIES WILL START CALLING NIGERIA "A ZOO" OR " ZOO REPUBLIC" Igbo will end up convincing the world that Nigeria is a ZOO
VERY PITIABLE INDEED.
GOD HELP US ALL

No one his holding igbos down
Lol they hate everyone and everyone’s hates them back
Are we suppose to caress them Lool

Ipobs have deep insecurity issues

Arkmanbuddy:
65%? Mehn! The way you guys give out figures is something uhn! How did you know Igbos in Rivers are up to that percentage?

Are you forgetting they own 95% of Lagos
