I am surprised the way I hear Yoruba Muslims here on Nairaland.


Yorubas are not very keen about imported religions and most Yorubas still believe some elements of their Traditional Religion.
Yorubas change from Christianity to Islam or Islam to Christianity or some even practice both.

Yoruba Muslims and Christians live peacefully together, inter marry and are often related.

astonished:
stop deceiving yourself, there nothing like Yoruba Muslim, Yoruba this & Yoruba that. only in your delusional mind.

Yorubas are one, don't give a fvck about religion

My friend, let me me tell you what is wrong with his posts.

1) The subtle attempt to single out the hard-working folks of the S/West for bashing was done in bad faith.

2) The objectivity of criticism of what we consider to be wrong in our polity is defeated the moment we add regional or ethno-religious colouration to the criticism.

3) The listeners who ought to all join hands to criticize the wrong actions will view the tribal undertone as an atteck on their region/tribe and instead will be attacking the guy criticizing, creating a 'We Vs Them' scenerio.

4) Infact this was the origin of all these posts by the #ArewaTwitter.
It was in response to persistent bashing of the Northerners as poverty stricken, God forsaken wretched people and the continuous demonizing of the Al-majiris by Southern bigots online.

Virtually all Northerners on Twitter on Sunday 24th May 2020 supported these rich Northern Youths in displaying their 'wealth' in a show of regional solidarity.

xcabczyxabczzzz:
Baba lockup, na insult to every youth in this country. It is either you didn't take your time to read what he wrote or are simply an ethnic bigot for you leave out all he wrote and single out SOUTHWEST as the only problem you have with his write up.

You are right.

However, the problem with discussions about anything in Nigeria is that it becomes complicated and muddle up when we introduce regional and ethno-religious colouration into it. Objectivity is often defeated in such discussions.

MANDIPUTIN:
All the people you mentioned, everyone knows the source of their wealth, most of them are through individual hard work without govt support & those guys are in their 40s & 50s. But those arewa youths are in their teens and twenties without known source of income. You and i know in Nigeria today you can't be stinkingly rich at that age except there's already made wealth on ground acquired by their parents & uncles.
I salute them & most especially their parents.

Bros, leave that stuff.


Politicians and top Government workers in ALL parts of Nigeria steal public fund.

There are some top civil servants in Abuja that are richer than Governors.

denko:
Unfortunately their father has stolen enough to keep for them to eat but that does not remove the facts that they are still being spoon fed

Excuse me bros, how does this surgical precision excision stuff relate to these rich Northern Youths?



Are you saying if Eastern Region had still remain one entity, there won't be rich Northern Youths or there will be no embezzlement of public funds?

IGBOSON1:
They knew it would be tricky getting their hands on the resources with the ‘i-too-sabi nyamurees’ in the picture, so they painted Igbos as the bad guys out to decimate other ethnicities in the Niger-Delta! And Igbo parts of the delta equally blessed with hydrocarbons, they sliced out of the then Eastern Region with surgical precision, placed them in non Igbo states, and got them to deny their god given heritage! Textbook divide-and-rule strategy!

Prof Gambari needs to start learning Hausa or better still Fulfulde, the language of his great-grandfather.

AsomughaChuks05:
Gambari can never gain the absolute trust of Buhari like Kyari no matter how hard he tries.

But some people say he has been replaced by Jubrin from Sudan who is about 56 year old.

Irijosa777:
noted, I know baba is old now.
thank you.

There are children of politicians like these in ALL States.
Their parents most likely aquired all these wealth through looting of public fund.

You won't see children of genuine business men/entrepreneurs who made their money legitimately flauting wealth on social media.

Children of Dangote, Adenuga, Ibeto, Innoson, Ishaku Rabiu or T.Y Danjuma don't come on social media for ostentatious display of wealth.

GamalNasser:
Parasites. Well I don't blame them na Southern disunity I Blame

Are these people doing baptism in the river or what is the meaning of this water?

LukasPodolski:
I love this ooh.

Make Northerners pepper our brothers from potopoto republic.

Ex-Governor Aregbesola of Osun State once boasted of a comprehensive economic blue print that will link Osun State to tap from the economy of Lagos State by supplying agricultural produce to Lagos State but got derailed in his second year in office.

Sunshineg5:
Bro, we have maintained that the huge population in Lagos is not exactly a blessing to Lagos because very few of the population pay taxes, especially the small scale igbo businessmen.

Many of them came to Lagos because of the prosperity of Lagos and now claim to have built Lagos despite having contributed very little in taxes.

What we need now is for other South west state to tap into the Lagos story

Oyo and Osun in particular needs to start producing 75% of the Agricultural needs of Lagos.

So the politicians are the ones robbing you?



And how did the hardworking people of the S/West managed to enter this thread sir?

Are these hardworking folks of the S/West different from the hardworking folks in Borno, Niger, Kaduna, Cross-River or Ebonyi States?

Good question and I will try to educate you. Others can as well enlighten you guys. How many graduates are employed in this country? How many graduates are underemployed in this country? When we travel by road, how many good roads do we have in this country? Do you have a tap borne water at home? how many functioning hospitals do we have? Insecurity---- when you are robbed, do they ask whether you are Igbo or Yoruba? When we are deprived of the basic amenities of life, are we differentiated by our tribes? Its time for us to grow past these tribalistic tendencies and face the really.

As a full-bloodied Yoruba man, I had high hopes for this country. All I thought was, once I graduated from a college with a good grade, all will fall on my lap in life. Where are we? It is over 20 good years I graduated from College and yet the story has not changed in this country. You know why? it is all because of these never do well robbers that can cough out multi-millions to buy these cars that are necessary in our environment. A typical politician in Nigeria has the intention to rob us blind. Typical examples are Dino, Jagaban, Orji, and all others. Most of these guys don't have any business if the process is functioning and there is a great accountability for your so-called service.

I can further educate you if you don't mind. Thank you.

This Reno Omakri is doing unnecessary disservice to the Jonathan era.

Is Reno Omakri trying to say that President Jonathan was so weak that a post from El-Rufai on Twitter could undermine a policy of his administration?

So anyone who criticized a policy of Ex-Pres Jonathan was undermining him?

Please explain sir,

Who is robbing who and how?

How did the hardworking folks of the S/West enter this thread?

He didn't only mock the hardworking southwestern folks but all hardworking youths in this country. This is what our dear country has turned into. Slaves riding our horseback while Kings are walking on foot like slaves. This is their time and they should enjoy it very well. God willing, time is going to come when their names will never be heard of again in the history of Nigeria. To tell you the truth, it also reflects the kind of parents and upbringing these guys have. How on earth can rob people, deprive them of basic amenities of life and yet, flaunt this ill-gotten wealth? There is no peace for the wicked and shame to these guys and their generations.

Who/What is JowiZaza?

GODPUNISHALABI:
Lol and what is jowizazaa picture doing there abi jowizazaa don convert to arrewa when will yoruba twitter do their own

What of the new generation of Southerners?

HedwigesMaduro:
If you ever held any hope that the new generation of northerners would have the intelligence their older generations absolutely lacked, there goes that hope out of the window.

What I know for certain is that in Yoruba culture, if a pregnant dies during labour without delivering her baby, she won't be buried with the baby. Both the pregnant woman and the unborn baby must be buried separately.

They had 'native surgeons' that will cut the woman's abdomen and bring the baby out and sometimes, the babies may still be alive.

Prof Ibrahim Agboola Gambari is the CoS.

Owaincouncil:
Neither Gambari. Remember he is a yoruba/fulani man.
Above all, buhari will always rate his Muslim brother higher than Christian anytime anyday

The Oracle has spoken!

post=89956376:
When I told ignorant minds that Famfa own by Alakija isn't into oil exploration they will be arguing, claiming audio richest woman in Africa , check the table the only woman in oil exploration in Nigeria is Uju Ifejika owner of Brittania U, Uju Ifejika is the richest she is just playing cool

The Candidate (not regions) that have the backing of the largest power blocks win the tickets of each politucal party.

AhoadaRivers:
Good one! Big ups. May the most populous region APC win. Amen

Majority must carry the day.

That's not exactly true.
They are many people that are in between male and female genders (intersex)

MejiLoyon:
Be justifying yourself
https://www.nairaland.com/5841401/intersex-hermaphrodite-exist-learn

You're either a man or a woman. The early physicians knew these traits exists that's why they developed drugs and medical procedures to correct these anomalies. That's why in filling data dey ask for "sex" . Wetin dey under you. If na gbola you be man. If na obow you be woman. Case closed. Any other thing na psychological hocus-pocus. If you want validation go bobrisky page. There are kids here, don't confuse them with your warped mentality

Is this the best answer you think of?

AwkaFinest:
If oil dries all the landlocked regions will suffer just like 80% of landlocked countries in Africa. Look at Africa today, only countries like Botswana, Zambia, Ethiopia, Uganda and Rwanda are doing well. The rest landlocked countries are shit.


I pity for my Anambra. As ndi potopoto we will be in deep shit!

This is how you fail exams in School.

The question didn't ask about tribes and who loves who or the need for people of the Niger-Delta to HATE the Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis.

fugarlion:
Eastern region will survive from their ingenuity. Igbos will always embrace their so-called Niger Delta brothers whether oil or no oil because blood is thicker than water. Yorubbas will never ever embrace so-called Niger Delta without oil, same goes for Hausa-Fulani because they know they are not related; this fake love is all about their oil. But so-called Niger Delta people in hindsight will forever hate Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani from generation to generation. I'm talking about the kind of hate that if they see Yorubaa or Hausa-Fulani after separation without oil, dey fit harm una.

Yorubbas will not survive without oil money as this Corona only exposed them. Hausa-Fulani may survive by managing!

The CoS doesn't speak Hausa or Fulfulde.

Owaincouncil:
CoS will definitely win, been a Muslim.

Excuse me bros, who was arrested?

RuudVanNisteroy:
The FBI does not engage in slander. They got a judge to issue an arrest warrant based on hard evidence, which they believe will lead to a conviction in court.

And this post was written by one of the 'educated citizens of Nigeria'??



Just look like the level of reasoning of this guy

Pentagon007:
Do you even know the enormous threat those Rusty corrugated roof pose on the life of Yorubas? With the evident poverty there, it is pretty obvious those people cannot access borehole water and thus will rely on rain water dropping from those Rusty roofs.
In the East, clean borehole water is the cheapest thing you can access. It is not even a luxury because most building have it done even before the building is erected and adorned with Modern new Zealand roofing sheets

What brought Aba and Enugu into this discussion about the development of Or Town?

Are Enugu and Aba in the same State with Ore? What exactly is the basis of comparison?

Must every city be like Enugu and Aba?

Igbochief001:
Have u ever been to 9th mile ?
Let me not even call aba ..9th mile enugu is far far ahead of ore can be in the next 20 years

It's funny how people who have traveld to see both places would tell you something you that only seen one would say it's a lie

Where did he say Western Nigeria?

Western media can mean Western European and Northern American media

EsomahJD:
Don't play smart oga, wike specifically mentioned western media.
Which other tribe occupy western part of Nigeria?.

Gov Wike is not a Yoruba man, the guy he was responding to is not a Yoruba man and the discussion happened on Twitter which is neither owned or controlled by the Yorubas.

What exactly brought Yorubas into this matter sir?

There are over 300 tribes in Nigeria. You didn't mention anyone of these tribes, why this fixation on Yorubas?

EsomahJD:
Everyone knows how the western media he mentioned (owned by yorubas) are being used to shade him.
You think he's daft

Excuse me sir,
What brought Yoruba into this matter?

Is Twitter also a Yoruba media?

EsomahJD:
Wike was elected under Nigeria constitution so he's right to speak under same constitution.

However I like the fact that he understands how the western media (yorubas medias) are used to demonize him.

From THE SAME BOX

BabaRamota1980:
There are 6 balls. You removed one gold ball, that leaves 5 balls. Out of the 5 there are 2 gold. The chance of picking a gold ball is 2/5.


Why u dey play?

It's funny o.


People can die by mistake, people can eat something by mistake and people can have sex by mistake.


A man that is drunk for instance can have sex with the wrong lady (a good example)

PrincessJr:
Lmao, you are damn funny shuu see question

Tribalists like you always spoil every thread on this forum.


Each State post it's IGR and you are here accusing the Yorubas.

Are Rivers, FCT, Kano and Kaduna States also Yoruba States?

Internally generated revenues (IGR) has more to do with level of TAXATION by each State Government.
It has nothing to do with tribes and less to do with wealth .

Asgard13:
Statisticians they propaganda Yoruba loves so much..

Even when the reality in Yoruba land says otherwise Yoruba will rather wait for their propaganda statistics than accept the fact that there’s chronic hunger and acute poverty in the entire southwest

Just driving through Yoruba land will open ones eyes to Yoruba statistics and propaganda
Then you start asking where all this statistics are coming from...

Me ... will always allow to enjoy their propaganda.. as it’s the only thing that gives them erection

Statistics na Yoruba cure for acute hunger and chronic poverty..once that statistics is released... all ghost towns in the west becomes populated immediately
All brown and dilapidated houses vanished...

Pls allow Yoruba masturbate so well on this thread

They’ve been waiting for this .... since the last one


Oya Yoruba enjoy!

Nigerians reading will always understand una plight..
