Obviously nothing can enter your thick skull..... humanity is broad term, but you can't know that cus you're likely one of those people okeowo was talking about. Bye.

Factshunter:


That one, the so-called stat that was inspired by remour, written by an ibo guy? The same article that couldn't identified the names and numbers of the billionaires?

CNiro:
Afonjas are cursed, no wonder they are all betrayals. They betray their own kind.

PataAlhajaKeji:


You are absolutely correct.

Humanity encompasses all tribes, ethnicities and races.

In as much as I am proud to be Yoruba, I treat all humans equally, irrespective of their backgrounds, tribes and religious affiliations. No one chose these qualities. They were bestowed on all of us by the circumstances of our births.

I grew up in one of the slums in Lagos. You know that kain house wey like 20 tenants/families go dey one compound sharing just 2 toilets. I mixed with kids of different tribes and religions and I'm forever grateful I did. It shaped the way I relate to everyone till date.

Bye.

PoloG:
the richest are yorubas... we have billionaires in the diaspora

Friend22:


How do you define success?
Is it in terms of business or what specifically?
And mind you,Igbos are only popular with businesses not really anything that has to do with education.
So,what's your point?

Muna4real:


Weather we de Forbes list or not, the truth is that we don't beg for food. A lot of Igbos even in the villages are very comfortable.

FreeIgbos:

You're just blabbing for nothing. The trash you wrote shows you're totally disconnected and ignorant of current realities in Nigeria. You asked which sectors Igbos are ahead of Yorubas in Nigeria? Then I will list them for you!

Banking, aviation, petroleum products manufacturing, manufacturing sector, commerce etc. Igbos are ahead! You can go figure out yourself. Despite having a huge advantage when when you fraudulently took over all the foreign owned companies in Nigeria under the guise of indignization decree.

Continue decieving yourself with gossips and fallacies.

pricklewane:
What business are Igbos popular with ? Aside okrika n spare parts sales Yoruba outnumber igbo 86 - 3 with the remaining taken by other Nigerians. Be it banking insurance shipping technology market space retail insurance whole sale, autos just name it.

Do not give them what they do not deserve. If you no any sphere aside okrika n spare part sales that Igbos dominate tell us.

Simplyleo:

On this, Reno is 100% correct and I agree with him for the first time.

But Reno should be ready to take insults from those people deveroping the universe with their imaginary education.

mancoconut:

It's an absolute myth that yorubas are more educated than Igbos, even though yorubas admittedly had the head-start in acquiring education first before other tribes in Nigeria due to their earlier exposure to Christian missionaries and western education, Igbos who were late to the western education party not only caught up with yorubas but even surpassed them, Igbos were preponderantly dominant in literally all fields of human endeavor pre and post independence Nigeria, so much so that the fear of "Ibo domination" became a very portent fear especially in the North as Igbos flooded the academic parastastals, civil service, Federal top jobs, even some of the best educated military officers then were predominantly Igbos etc...Ahmadu Bello's famous interview granted to a European reporter about Igbo domination even accentuated these facts... Awo's free education sure helped to bolster the yorubas in terms of academia, but at no point where they more educated than Igbos... not even after the war when Igbo lost all their major positions in Nigeria were Igbos overtaken.

Olatomiwami:



U are just vacuous.

WesternOligarch:
If a northerner gets a powerful position anywhere he'd ensure that all his relatives are settled and given top positions same for the Igbo man.....but the average Yoruba man with his political correctness and stupid "professionalism" wouldn't do such because he foolishly believes that networking is nepotism. For the Yoruba's to be great libralism, political correctness and sentimental attitudes must die.......you can't be a liberal in Africa, liberal tribes die out, our ancestors didn't build empires by being liberal or politically correct simps.

BobbieZion:


Which diaspora?
The west have three on the top ten list in Nigeria.Mike Adenuga,Jimoh Ibrahim. and Folorunsho Alakija.
The north two, and the east five.
Chech your Wikipedia 2021.
Only in numbers then I can agree,because they have a very large population, but in individual wealth they can't match the North or East.

Ibadanpikin:
Otondo,igbos are most sucessful in education in recent times(the lead in waec,neco and jamb)jamb statistics from 2010-2015 shows that Anambra,Delta,Imo are leading in medicine,law and pharmacy.NYSC record also proves that candidates whose state of origin is from south east produces the highest number of corp members.Also note that igbos lead in sport(football,athletes,basketball).Entertainment(nollywood,gospel&highlife music).Transport(peace air,GUO,Young shall grow,sosoliso etc).Trade&Commerce(onitsha main market biggest in west Africa,igbos has d highest number of indigenous industries etc) and other numerous achievements abroad and home.

fregeneh:
I agree with you to some extent sir,but then isn't the act of carrying your tribe men/women along no matter whether they're competent or not. that those two tribes you mention above do what is killing Nigeria?

nonplussed:
You think Forbes is Punch? Just because someone made a comment in jest about an article you think Forbes will just publish rubbish? SMH for you!

BobbieZion:


Which one is recognised billionaires?
Nigga be telling me google.

NikAustine:
I'm not showing any lack of intelligence. I'm simply telling you the truth.
She is Igbo...so just cause her Dad is yoruba you can't just claim her

AbaLion:

Emphasis on "the north". At no point in history, both pre or post-independence were ibos ever ahead of the Yoruba - Never was and Never will be.
There is a reason that Yoruba have never been an inch bothered about your so called "ibo domination" fantasy which only existed in the imagination of an average ibo - the fact that Yoruba being the "head" would never give a damn regarding how the "tail" wags, so long it's stuck in between the legs.
The north could be much bothered about ibos flooding her region fill up job opportunities meant for the northerners being the most educationally disadvantaged at the time as rightly expressed by Ahmadu Bello. In contrast, the Yoruba region was the standard template such that it was readily the best option for a lot of Igbos to get the best of western Education. The best of Igbo brains in the mordern era, I dare say, are Southwest trained, Ngozi okonjo iweala, Chinua Achebe, your most prized assets had a bite of the cherry.
At a point, during colonialism, A certain Samuel Ajayi Crowther had come back from slavery as a missionary to teach your ibo ancestors how to read and write through the publication of the isuoma ibo premier - Till date, ibos had not shown appreciation, nonetheless, We Muuve!..
Till the end of the world, ibos can never catch up in any academic endeavor. For every 1 ibos produced, Yoruba would have produced 10 (and I'm being reasonable)

PoloG:
oga go to Forbes black billionaires list.. not wikipedia bullshit

Gandollaar:
And for this you are sucking Reno's balls already with relish, even though you are not Yoruba but from an endangered clan confronting annihilation challenge daily??

You are now 3 for 5 Kobo

Factshunter:


What's her surname and her state of origin to start with, according to law?

Dude, are you ok?/

NikAustine:
it normal for her to have a western state as her state of origin... Since Nigeria is more Patrilenal wen it comes to that...
But it doesn't change the fact that she is also Igbo.
It just like for eg, Troost Ekong being Nigeria now and you want to deny him his Dutch origin.. it simply unfair.
His bio might say, Nigerian, play for Nigeria national team.. but he is still Dutch.. and nothing will change it.

That's the same thing we this girl...see might bear Yoruba name and a Southwest state might be put as we origin but you are unfair to deny her her igbo origin or parentage. Since her mom is also igbo..

And when it comes to intelligence we all know.. a child might pick his/her intelligence from any of her parents- mom or dad.
So wat I'm saying is, what if the gurl picked hers from her mom? Igbo.
Then what will you now say?

Simplyleo:

On this, Reno is 100% correct and I agree with him for the first time.

Factshunter:


She's not ibo by name, state of origin, birth, and by language. So, why are you stressing yourself when the law also back my claims?


You need to relax and face the reality, dude.
