Exactly. He/she made it look like the women are successful as a result of an unfair advantage being afforded them by the Lagos state government for being Yorubas. Frankly speaking and at this rate, it is safe to say that low self esteem has really eaten up these easterners because why would a sane person try to play down other people’s achievements, making it look like they never merited it?

Lol 😂.

Yoruba women are in another league tho.

It’s just like premier league and divison 1. Ya’ll can compare yourself within your league while Yoruba women play the master league.

If not for Nairaland gagging us. I usually know the perfect response for people like you.

BloomingDale:


Ok, another example right here. That is because I’m mostly unbiased in my view of things, unlike you that is always looking at everything from a Yoruba angle. Lol

wiseoneking:
And they rule the whole China and South America. Yoruba women are dominating India and North Korea banking sector. The newest appointment is a Yoruba w from oshogbo who was recently appointed by Iranian government to head their Apex bank. Yoruba women are the greatest. Up omo odua

I want to learn. How does last election relate to individual success in private industry and entertainment sector?

How does last election make Tems win a Grammy or how did it produce all the CEO in this thread?

LegendHero:


So between me and you, who is covering inferiority complex?

Me that have my women constituting majorly 70% of most achievement in all strata ranging from movie, music, fintech, CEO, business, Technology, and etc. OR you that your women are just part of the numbers.

Many iconic Yoruba women are from Ogun, Oyo , Ondo and Ekiti

Leading 9 banks? Except GTbank and Fidelity, what is the market share if the rest?

BloomingDale:


I think cos of Lagos, which gives Yoruba people a big advantage, just like USA leads the world cos of USA advantage. Other people from other regions should try and remove eye from Lagos and develop a Lagos in their own region to be able to compete fairly. Igbos and Benins are the only ones trying.

LegendHero:


Truly, your first response showed no bias and I responded to you without bias too.

Then your second response came with lot of bias and defeatist mindset. Because you think Yoruba women have the edge, then you inserted election into it to try to water down their success as being a product of tribalism.

I am Yoruba and always think in Yoruba. In Nigeria today, when you love your tribe and you’re vocal about it, you’re automatically a tribalist.

Raskimonojendor:
The IT field is on lockdown as well

LegendHero:


You have a point about Lagos but why is Lagos favoring only Yoruba women? You have other tribe women in Lagos and they all have equal right in private enterprise and personal excellence but yet they couldn’t overshadow Yoruba women.

However, that is not the main reason because even before Lagos was this big, Yoruba women have always dominated major sectors and markets. Thats why when you go about reading about first in any field, they are usually Yoruba women.

Some of you just like to use words you don't understand, thinking it demonizes and malign others you dislike or feel inferior to, whereas you only end up describing yourself.

Below is the meaning of hegemony. Pray tell us those that are personification of it than the two most radical and extremist ethnic group of Nigeria today, I.e the Igbos and the Fulani, who wish to usurp, by force or stealthy and hostile economic takeover, the land and asset of others.

Yorubas are happy with their culture, boundary and themselves. We are a humble people who are not and have never been usurper or covetous land grabbers let alone be interested in foisting our culture, religion or way of life on anyone. That is you lot and the Fulanis.

That Yorubas are incidentally great and dominate is an exponent of their talent and natural endowment as a people not any half-baked notion of hegemonistic nature your sort espouse out of jealousy and envy of us that precipitates inferiority complex in you and your kinsmen.

You should tell us when Yorubas, according to what is shown below, have ever sought dominance, influence or authority over others. Nonsense.

Quit being a smartass! I know what the word lockdown means! I wanted to know why he feels the Yoruba have to have everything in 'one Nigeria' on 'lockdown' for the Yoruba! The import of that supremacist mindset is that he and his bigoted ilk see everyone else as fools who exist just to be used to further Yoruba hegemonic interests!

Would it now be out of place to brand him and the OP as Yoruba supremacists and bigots? Can you now see the intent for creating this thread is for nothing more than dick-measuring?

flexyrule:
My friend shut up!

Yoruba dominate because most banking businesses are owned by the Yorubas and their HQs are in Lagos.

There is so much internal politics in banking, and it's beyond this beer parlour argument you're raising here.

Now learn!

Banks owned by the Hausa would have more of Hausas/Muslims as staff, eg Taj Bank, Jaiz Bank, Unity Bank Plc.. And would most likely have a Hausa as the MD.

Same with Igbo... Same with the Yoruba..

The only bank that that is owned by someone from a fire T ethnic group and is dominated by other tribes is Access Bank Plc.

Now how does Lagos favour these chaps....?

When the HQ is in Lagos, recruitment starts there, appraisal and promotion is done there, top management staff mostly work out of the HQ.

It's even worse than that... Read...

Do you even know that, most branches would wait for plain paper, biro, ink, etc to be airlifted from Lagos for branches in other regions despite the fact that these items can be sourced locally?

There are even instances where ATM engineers, Time Stamping Machines technicians, Vault Maintenance technicians etc are flown in from Lagos to repair and maintain banks equipment.

Even official vehicles are registered in Lagos, before moved to other regions for use.

It's the Lagos politics!

And that's the same reason Mobil is dominated by the Yoruba.

Yes. They have their operational Base in Akwa Ibom, and HQ in Lagos.

IGBOSON1:


I see your point! But it all depends on the wider context in which it's said....who's saying it, and their past assertions or post history!
