I was shocked by the Yoruba race in the 2023 elections. Never seen a people scared of their own shadow.
There are Yoruba in Kano, Kaduna. Never had a single Fulani say Yoruba or Igbo must leave their land because of election. Really shocking. So threatened that they now behave like dogs on heat.
The entire Nigeria will not forget this in a hurry.
The irony is that whoever was not Yoruba regardless of tribe, whether Calabar, Akwaibom, Igala, Ebira were all regarded as Igbo. Wont be forgotten in a hurry

I used to admire and learn from the Yorubas, used to see them as the beacon worth emulating.

So you can imagine the bewilderment when people assume I am Igbo cause of how much and how I write about them. But you can only learn from the best, the most capable.

Success of a group goes beyond making music and dancing in parties, even on that the Igbos are also doing well.

When the face of a group and the most admired person held in the highest regard is person of such questionable and abysmally shady character, is the person of Tinubu, you know the society, group, tribe is indeed in a downward spiral.

The funny thing about this its that lagos usually use to remove themselves from yoruba stuff but waits during election to alien with themselves.

ElSudani:


The best is yet to come for the Yoruba people. We are moving forward rather than your imaginary downwards spiral.

ObalaEmma:
They will bury you for pointing it.
I once envied being a Yoroubas when I was little but seeing how the turn out at my adult days is shameful.

Goodmarlian:

Op you added illorin and kabba to you map you ready to fught.

Baba just like for the Igbos today, I personally used to carry Yoruba matter for head like gala. Sorry to say but I used to despise the Igbos, again, sorry to say. Non come close!

Now I am considered an Igbo cause of my trajectory. Thing is, the wise and enlightened will only align and learn from the best and where he thinks he will grow better. The Igbos have done it even after not being close to power for more than half a century. That is more than any major tribe in Africa (I wrote about it).

ObalaEmma:

I think its the Lagos and Tinubu factor forcing some to be less proud of their educational background . As of 2007, the first thing we tried to do when we are in Lagos is to learn Yorouba.
But in 2014-2023. I found out such has drastically stopped.

Normally I don't ever bother reading off of like yous or even responding. But since this is about you I will indulge you.

I am from a minority tribe, from Kaduna State. Personally I am good with patterns, I see a pattern growing among the Yoruba. I know cause I leave the experience, you wouldn't cause you don't and continue to suppress any reason.

I personally used to admire and hold the Yoruba in high regard cause I used to think them as the model for learning, everywhere around Nigeria used to. Scratch that!

Notice the trend, Nigerian minority tribes now are more gradually gravitating towards the East. It is a subconscious trend and mindset but still happening. There is something going on that many can not explain or even notice, but it's there.

That is what the post is talking about.

ElSudani:

Let me ignore the first part of you post, trite and absolutely unnecessary.
I want you to show empirical evidence to support what you are saying. Are more people moving to the SW or moving out or what exactly are you talking about?
Don't use your personal experience to come to a jaundiced conclusion about millions of people.

LocalStandard1:


That there is why I try to avoid like-yous. You people bend topics and discussions to fit a small minded narrative. What makes you think "everybody is moving to the SW"? The highest is Lagos and even that has slowed down over the years.

Are not the SW too struggling to leave their States and region? You people talk as if all Yorubas are only in the their "good old" SW. That is very small minded my friend!

As for the write-up, the referenced post was made by a fellow Yoruba. You wouldn't know cause you don't want to and suppress any reason.

ElSudani:


I will continue to ignore your insults just quit the emotional blackmail and give empirical evidence to support you vacuous submissions.

OP keeps opening yoruba is this, Yoruba is that threads all over the Nairaland.

Your English proves the state of the Yorubas.
