one is the capital of the state with big IGR, the other is the capital of ebonyi. You can easily spot from the landscape of the two cities where money circulates more. You can easily know where more people are living in more exteme poverty with low quality of life.

What's now the purpose of the IGR if the citizens cannot feel the impact, get enough money to renovate their houses and live quality lives?

The money is usually stock with the elites while the poor citizens come online to defend them

Osu, a picture of a village in abk doesn't change reality. Check the stats ebonyi is poorer than jigawa and most northern poor states. Again Ogun is more developed than your alaibo. You're very delusi0nal and you should seek help.

How many times have you been bursted on this forum for impersonating? Why is it hard for you people to be proud of your lineage?

That you have stayed in SW, learn our language still can never make you an Omoluwabi.

Quit the impersonating

If you can ever think....

Learning from your shortcomings can actually stop the hues and cries of the Igbos buying all of your lands in Lagos.

Go to Ojo in Lagos and see that most of the place has been bought by Igbo boys that came to Lagos with virtually nothing.

A wise man like Ope Banwo did a video chastising people like you who struggle objectively.

An Igbo man comes to your land with nothing. He starts hustling and then he starts buying your land while you are doing owambe with the money you got from the land sold.

If I were you, I would find a way to make sure that some of my children understudy the successful Igbo traders so that they can also thrive and be self sufficient...

Everything is not blind argument, oga...

this is Abeokuta City centre, you can see the famous Opic tower and the new Mall been constructed.
This place is in GRA, I know Abeokuta very well, aside from this place is the picture, the other parts of Abeokuta are in extreme poverty with dilapidated houses and poverty stricken Yoruba residents.
This is the most developed place in the whole of Abeokuta and then you keep asking yourself what they even do with this humongous IGR.

You better open your eyes to the deception.

Igbos are cowards no other tribe would have tolerated that level of ethnic bigotry like a fowl without trying to fight back!

they Cowards. It is only online they even choose to attack the Hausas and Fulani because of Buhari rule and most of them don't care about social media. They would had given them back online wotowoto. But they can't try it in real life with Hausa and Fulani like they doing to Yorubas in Lagos. They will end up in body bags.
Yoruba had woken up to put their hateful lot in their place. We just need one attack from them to wipe their lots in southwest

Come learn from Yorubas perhaps we can donate you some of our leaders to help develop the east for y'all. Y'all should be ready to drop that egoist and bigoted attitude towards Yorubas. Hausa's put you in your place. Yorubas will put you in your place too since your IPOB terrorist brothers keep crossing their boundary. The west is not the east.

Apart from Lagos that was built by the Europeans and Nigerians, there is no other Yoruba state that can withstand Igbo states.
Have you ever been to Enugu to see the fine buildings that litter everywhere unlike Ibadan that is 99% mega slum with archaic strucrures everywhere?
Is it Ogun that you want to compare with Igbo cities.
It is ironic that the East was the epicentre of the civil war, but today their cities beat all the cities in Yoruba land that never witness war and have not been suppressed the same way that the federal government is suppressing the East.
Yourubas should be very ashamed of themselves

Just do a bit of traveling and watch your arguments disappear...

Trollronaldo:

I am telling you the gospel truth. It's bitter to swallow.
Every tribe has their shortcomings and I have told you that of we Yorubas. Swallow it and try to change

The only bitter truth I can attest to as Yoruba weakness, is your number one point.
Yet, in all fairness, It is The Hausas that has the point as their number one strength not The Igbos.
Your other points are actually pointless - they aren't peculiar to any one particular Tribe.

Oddfinder012:

Igboland was completely destroyed during the war. This guys stood up dusted up themselves, folded their sleeves and b3gan to work( build).
Today, apart from Lagos island, no part of Yoruba land is more developed or well built or more beautiful than ibo land. Choke on that

Loud am abeg.
The Yorubas always let emotions becloud their sense of reasoning.
They are now so afraid of competiting with other tribes in Lagos.They don't know that one day a non Yoruba will rule Lagos and they cannot change this reality.

Oyo cannot withstand 042, Enugu.
It is not about size but quality.
The number of quality houses in 042 alone dwarfs the so called abrahamic buildings in the South West excluding Lagos.
Is not by making noise o...remember that your region did not witness the civil war so it is supposed to be far ahead of the East but sadly it is the other way round and that is why all the Yorubas are claiming Lagos that belongs to Nigerians.

Franzinni:
Op you have to be a Butt kiss ...

You simply come across as ignorant and desperate.


The mere fact that you insinuate Yoruba need too learn something from the igbos shows you didnt give your position a good thought

Yes the igbos are business oriented and enterprising no doubt... That is where thier gifts as a people show, although I have my reservations about the sources of wealth of some, that parade themselves as legitimate business people, but I digress


We all need to learn to see each other as people first, and transcend tribalistic tendencies and then we need to recognize and embrace the power in our diversity for the benefit of ALL ... Not for you to come and be telling Yoruba people to learn this and that from the Igbo people becasue that will mean Yoruba people lack those things and you are absolutely mistaking!!!!

Iwo gan gan lo ye ko ronu!

Not that Igbos are enterprising and better than others in business.
It's shady deals and selling of substandard products that they are using to make money,
They will go China and negotiate with unscrupulous people to produce fake items of original products and begin to sell it cheap and at the end making illegal money for themselves at the expense of lives of others.
For example, many have died in this country bcoz of their fake pharmaceutical products in the markets,
We don't even know the original vehicle parts from fake again, causing us waste our money to buy fake parts before we realize,
Igbo people make most of their earnings from faking original products causing Nigerians to loose their lives and money at the end.
Many genuine companies and business men can't continue bcoz they can't compete with their fake and cheap products in the markets.
Many of the Belgium/ tokunbo parts they are selling are from stolen vehicles butchered,
I laughed when they claim it is only their business that is prospering Lagos.
Can they compare their buying and selling business to many multi national and big companies in Lagos.
For example, the new dangote refinery in Lagos is far bigger than all Igbo business put together, and the hausas are not even boasting like Igbo people claiming they build Lagos
Company owned by Yorubas and hausas too are uncountable in Lagos
Before dangote refinery, there have been many companies headquarters like oil and gas, communication etc.
But Igbo like to boast about their buying and selling business, buying and selling business is the simplest form of business that anybody can do in a sane society that doesn't allow fake products to thrive

How are the corrupt leaders in Yoruba land dragging everybody back? Did they stop you from developing your Region? You left your region to make a life in our Region and your still comparing. See me see wahala! Am sure if yorubaland is as poor as Somalia even you will not comearound. Like I always say the generation that is holding one Nigeria together is dying out. It is only a matter of time. Not to distant from now it is with your valid visa you will use to come to southwest.

Ijebu ode has wealthy men, no doubt but the wealth no circulate. It's hegemonized.

Go to Ijebu ode today, nothing dey there aside the flyover on the express road and Lagos garage. The whole of ijebu has bad roads aside from Ibadan road and ijirin road. I know what I am saying. Poverty is in the town, while we have some wealthy sparsely scatter but more people are poor. Have you ever tried boarding a bus from ijebu ode to Lagos? You will see extreme poverty within the the called Yorubas.
The fastest growing business in ijebu ode is yahoo yahoo. You know what I am saying.

You people are too loyal to your corrupt leaders, and it's dragging everyone back because you are giving them unwarranted power

Yorubas cannot build any world class city on their own except if the federal government comes in like they did in Lagos. Give Yorubas power many times, they will still not leave the Lagos clutch.
Aside Lagos, no city in Yoruba land is anything near developed, including Ibadan. A yoruba system is all about oligarchy, where elites squander the wealth of the people, the followed are very loyal to their corrupt elites and little human capacity development will thrive.

Look at osogbo, Ado Ekiti, Akure and Abeokuta, are those cities competitive even within Nigeria? Think about it.

You all think you can build anything because federal government built Lagos. We built our own cities by ourselves without the help of federal government and we did that in less than 60 years.

It is your delusion that makes you think that out of over 40million yorubas that none can think for themselves. Look, it's obvious that majority of them can think for themselves. It was what caused you wicked souls to start panicking and thus started the ethnic and violent campaigns.

Flutterwave alone is half the GDP of anambra .. I don't want to now mention other fintech companies owned by yorubas ...

Trollronaldo:
There are plenty of misconception being spread by other tribes about the igbos but for me, these misconceptions are not true. You will hear things like, igbos don't like each other, igbos don't help each other and Igbos are wicked. All are propaganda and I will prove it.
Since the Civil War, the Igbo has come from scratch, helped themselves into becoming financially prosperous and today by per capita, Igbo people are arguably the most prosperous tribe. This will not have been possible if igbos don't help themselves, or they envy each other a lot or they don't like themselves. It's true because igbos are hated, they have been the people helping themselves.
There's no tribe where people don't envy themselves or kill themselves. But people are painting the picture that it's more within the Igbo tribe, it's not true.

So how were igbos able to recover after the war:

1. Igbos know how to entertain competitors.

Go to major markets in Nigeria, let me make example of what we Yorubas can relate to: have you ever been to Ladipo or computer village to buy stuffs? You will see many Igbo people selling the same thing linning up in raws. You will never see them compete aggressively, they will not envy themselves and try to fight over customers. They will even most times trade products between each other and even refer customers to themselves.
Have you even entered an Igbo man's shop and he tells you that this product dey my other shop? Na lie, he's going to his fellow Igbo man shop to get it for you. This cannot be possible if they hate themselves. It's the key to how they succeed.
Yoruba people do not know how to maintain healthy competition. In my street, two Yoruba people that are selling the same product, they will fight themselves over customers. I have seen this happen over and over again. 2000 Igbo people can sell the same thing in on location and you will not hear anything problem, they will even help themselves to sell.
You cannot put 10 Yoruba people selling the same product in one line, they will quarrel and fight. We are greedy. On my street, Two Yorubas selling sweet and pure water will fight for customers, two Yorubas selling sepe and ogogoro will still fight and become envious of each other, they cannot create healthy business environment for themselves.
Hausas also tolerate their brothers in business, they allow healthy competition between each other hence its why you can see hausas in thr markets selling the same thing. Yorubas will always fight over space and customers. Yorubas are more envious than Igbo people, this is what is playing out in the poltical space. We are greedy.

2. Igbos have this inherent brotherhood attitude.

This is the reason why whenever you visit their houses or shops, you will see someone there that is not his child, even most times this person will not be directly related to that Igbo person. They usually just help people from their village. They bring them to cities, train them in formal education and in business and after a while, this person will be independent and then goes on to bring another person.
How will this be possible if they don't like each other or they don't help each other?
There's never going to be a time when you will see a wealthy Igbo man that has not brought someone from his village out of poverty. It's a brotherhood code for them.
Hausas and Yorubas also do this to a certain degree but to an Igbo man, this is a culture and a norm. They don't see it like they are helping anyone, it's a culture and a responsibility.

A wealthy hausa man will prefer to give alms to the poor ones around him instead of genuinely helping that person by formally and vocationally training that person. This is where igbos are ahead.
In every town and cities, Igbo people usually form village associations where they help each other with busine loans and otherwise. Yes, this is true, I know this. Thy have that brotherhood spirit.

3. Igbo people plan their marital lives more than any other tribe.

Igbos don't give birth like chickens, even the most illiterate Igbo man will always want to give birth to children he's capable of training. This is what you don't see always within thr Yorubas and even worse with the hausas. Indescriminate child birth is a recipe for poverty.
When you leave Lagos (even in certain parts of lagos), Yorubas can give birth indescriminately, they will give birth to children that they cannot train. This brews poverty. Igbos attitude of controlled child birth has helped them recover from thr Biafran war. We should learn this from them.



What can we learn from them?
1. Healthy competition: we are too greedy, we want to have it all and at the end of the day, we become penny wise and pounds foolish. It's the reason why we cannot allow southeast become president now. We don't like healthy competition, we are envious. If it's an Igbo man that has become president before, I am sure that they will allow southwest have it. They do it everyday in their businessss. Its why 500 Igbo man can sell the same product in one location without issues.

2. Brotherhood: Even with all the political power that Yorubas have, the wealth amassed doesn't flow down to average Yoruba people. It usually remains within the circle of the elites. It's why I think most yorubas don't know what they are doing. We don't help our people. We use them and then leave them to suffer.
Give Igbo people this power, you will see how they will help themselves prosper. It's in their blood, it's why you will see them bringing themselves to city to learn business.


Yoruba Ronu, you are pawns in the house of your wicked poltical elites. They become rich and wealthy, they want to keep you impoverished so they can use you for their own political wishes.
You as a yoruba may think that you are winning politically but it's not you, it's the poltical elites. You life still won't change if you don't learn these little things from igbos

Op you are just contradicting yourself.....you say they like competition then why do they want to be handed presidency on a platter? Why don't they want to compete for it? 🤡
