KPMG is about quality. Those selected are best qualified, nothing like emotional recruitment or crying of marginalization here. Go find out more about KPMG

Pepper dem with facts 😂 you do well. 😂

Ojiofor:
So no other Nigerian is qualified that Yoruba have take up the positions 100%?

Ojiofor abi na ogunẹfọn, what does it take to get you to comprehend? I can see many people here have tried to make you understand, yet, unsuccessful.

Ko buru o. When you establish your own company, you are completely free to employ Nkechi, Chinwere, Emeka and Chibuzor. Rádaràda!

Nope. Yoruba just have the largest repository of brains among any Nigeria ethnicity in the corporate world.

Same thing is applicable in USA, UK, and Canada. If you go and check the employees of the Big 4 consulting firms like Deloitte, KPMG, EY, & PWC, Yoruba will dominate among the Nigeria employees in those companies.

Very true, worked with pwc uk. Confirmed ✅

Same Yoruba are the ones managing major sectors of Nigeria economy now including CBN with no significant progress anywhere in Nigeria, same Yoruba are managing their state economy that Southwest states are most indebted states in the region with nothing to show for after quoting humongous IGR, are those Yoruba different, how long will you guys continue to fool yourselves.

You're the delusional one here. Why see those appointments at KPMG as tribal in the first case? You've not seen siblings before where one is a genius and the other a dunce? Those people individually merit their position not f**king because they're Yorubas.

In any case if you don't mind, you can send this your comment here to KPMG so the Yorubas can be relieved of their positions just because you think their kinsmen are not running Nigeria well. Olodo!

Always playing the victim card, yẹn yẹn yẹn crying upandan! Wailing Society of Nigeria!

Ritchiee:
For the one complaining about debt.
SW states are more viable hence the readiness of creditors to give them financial facilities unlike unviable states.
If you dont understand,ask USA and China,they are the most indebted nations in the world.
As for the critical sectors being run by the Yorubas,dont be too much in a hurry because Nigeria's economy is going to be the best and largest economy in Africa soonest even before the end of Tinubu's first term.
They are deliberste in what they are doing.
They have refused to go cosmetic,which is the manner Nigeria has been run since its inception.
There is a great and joyous illumination at the end of the tunnel.

Even the Ibo man that came on Seun Okinbaloye's program on Channels TV 2 or 3 days ago confirmed that the past governments, especially the Jonathan years were nothing but cosmetic, a façade of a government. Leave them, let them be wailing up and down.

MakindeHassan:
The tribal comments are funny. KPMG is an audit company and has no reason to appoint based on ethnicity. Yoruba’s just have the highest number of accountants, go and check ICAN register.

Yorubas dey send their pikin go school. Dem no dey sell spare parts for Ladipo or fake products for ABA.

To each his own. Know your strength (and weaknesses) and live by it!

idealogical:
Nigerian are partners, not owners.

KPMG is a British company.

Give it to my Western brothers. They are the gurus of the finance community, and I am not surprised. Congratulations to the new partners.

It is a well-deserved appointment.

Ojiofor:

Take your protest to UK since you are finding it difficult to accept the fact that Yorubas dominate corporate session due to their quality education.

I pray Tinubu and his boys buy sense. See his people from his side of the country have done Nigeria proud. KPMG has people from all parts of Nigeria. Let Tinubu not let greed or foolishness make him worse than Buhari. Buhari will forever be Nigeria's worst president because any president worse than Buhari is ... unacceptable

ednut1:
https://kpmg.com/ng/en/home/about/overview/leadership.html there are non Yoruba partners working there. KPMG is merit and business case based.

Thanks for the link.

That's a brilliant move from KPMG in the consulting and financial services ecosystem.

A selection of the cream of the crop.

Very correct. That is the real reason for the lopsided domination.

Otunba Solomon Oladunni did exactly the same thing at ExxonMobil. The domination starts at the recruitment stage, through development training and foreign assignments, etc.

Oshokhai69:
KPMG Nigeria was run by a gentleman called Kunle Elebute for a very long time. Well over two decades before he retired a couple of years ago. It’s a well known fact in the industry that he mainly hired from a particular tribe during those years.

If most of the staff in an organization are from a particular tribe, it is only natural that the leadership will be dominated by that tribe.

That's insightful.

Regardless of who is the overall boss at KPMG, recruitments into these top-tier consulting firms are NOT compromised but based of off merit after going through rigorous tests. It's also a fact that Yorubas, Ibos, Bini-Edos/Esan-Edos, etc, have young brilliant guys who have excelled in the academic space over the decades (and infact Yorubas and Ibos have large populations out of the estimated 210 million folks of Nigerian descent), therefore, it isn't strange that you will have people from these ethnicities applying and getting recruited in large numbers in these multinational firms. It's not rocket science to know that.

Same Yoruba are the ones managing Glo the worst network in Nigeria, GTB, First bank, the way you guys hype yourselves, with all the dubious ways you swindle public funds for yourselves I'm yet to see a firm own by Yoruba man that worth the hype

However you look at it, just note that with fact and figure(not Nzogbu, Nzogbu statistics ) they are far better and superior to Biafrans. Just get used to it! When they see better options, they know how to identify quality, not by your emotional ranting. Local and international crime rate of Yoruba statistics is still far below that of Biafrans on weekly or monthly basis.

Even nearly half of the crime committed in south west is from biafrans. Just digest that fact even if it is bitter pill for you to swallow. You can buy one excersise note and keep record for yourself on daily basis, and come back after a month to tell us who picks number one on your crime list with fact and figure

Ojiofor:
Honestly I have nothing against those appointed but surprised it did not reflect WAZOBIA at all is if it was an appointment made by WEMA bank PLC .

Stop wailing and constituting nuisance on social media.

Accept the fact that Yorubas you so much hate are superior to Biafrans. It has been like that since inception. Economy is not measured by your emotional ranting and if the south west states are not well managed as you said your people will not turn south west to Obodo oyinbo. I know being bittered is in your blood, but just digest that fact that Yorubas are better and superior to others in Africa. Ndo, don't be angry

Otunba Solomon Oladunni did exactly the same thing at ExxonMobil. The domination starts at the recruitment stage, through development training and foreign assignments, etc.

These summations of yours are NOT entirely true but based of off HIGHLY misleading perceptions. I personally know folks who worked at ExxonMobil Lagos and Eket. Folks from different backgrounds and ethnicities were recruited into ExxonMobil Nigeria based on merit. Folks from Akwa Ibom where the oil and gas-rich Eket is located wanted to be employed in senior positions, but to occupy the positions you have to be brilliant in the Engineering and science fields. Hopefully, with more Akwa Ibom folks gravitating to those science fields, there would be more recruitments based on merit, but then again, the oil and gas industry has limited spaces, with the total number of workers in that sector hovering within that 5000 range. So, focus has to also be on promoting other disruptive, globally competitive fields for employment.


Coincidentally, I know a lot about the corporate recruitments in the oil and gas industry including the top international consulting firms and can say without a shadow of doubt that recruitments were based off of merit. A lot of the false accusations that are made that folks of Yoruba descent (who have ALWAYS excelled for decades in the STEM fields such as Engineering and the finance fields such as Accounting. Population also matters as the Yorubas as of now have an estimated population of over 60 million who are indigenous to Nigeria, Benin, Togo, with Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, the UK, Canada, United States, etc, being other major population centers where Yorubas are domiciled doing international business, and other kinds of professions) had taken over the oil and gas jobs are beer palor stories meant to demonize them.

I still have filed away some Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC) in-house magazines or newsletters that show CLEARLY the names of the top staff of that international IOC that worked in the 1990s right into the 2000s and many were from the South East and South of South as well as Yoruba folks as well. These folks from different regions have some of the most brilliant folks in Nigeria and the world who also went on cross-postings.

Diezani-Allison Madueke (now Diezani Agama who is from Bayelsa read Architecture and she worked with SPDC in PH back in the 1990s right into the 2000s). We can recall that the very dynamic and amiable Mr. Edgar Imomoh from Edo State was also the SPDC boss from the 2000s after the very amiable White gentleman who was the big boss left.

It's highly dishonest for anyone who isn't an insider in these multinational firms to say that Yorubas had cornered the industry based on useless beer palor fables over bottles of beer or palm wine, meanwhile the reality isn't so.

What happened when Osita Chidoke was head at FRSC?

Have you bothered to ask what happened at FIRS when Ifueko Omogui was head there?

Ask the people at CBN what happened when Emefiele was Governor.

Perhaps, ask your elders what happened when Azikiwe was at the helm.

You still didn't read the explanation of that young man. You are too be clouded by ethnic prejudice to understand what he was telling you.

To help you understand and move you away from your Nigerian mentality. He said, KPMG is an international Company with their HQ in the Netherlands. Employments and appointments are based on absolute merits. They do not care about your ethnicity, political background or connection.

So, these new appointments were done on merit and it has always been on merit.

My comment is not to talk down on any tribe please. Miss me with all these nairaland tribalism. Igbos go to school too but I’m just stating the obvious about accounting and ICAN in Nigeria.

All Yorubas. .

If they were Tinubu's appoitments now, you will say he is always tribalistic.

Yorubas are the brains of Nigeria. . That's the fact.

They are soundly educated, and represents the engine room of strategy and innovations all over the world.

Very sad day for Shinedu Ojiiofor and other upper iweka school of propaganda apprentices.

You are economical with the Truth.

We know the game plan inherent in these appointments. So, you can bandie the theory of Yorubas as having the best repository brains to the 🐕 dogs!

DeLaRue:
KPMG is an international company with its global headquarters in Holland.

They would not appoint Partners on the basis of who comes from where in Nigeria.

It might just be that the majority of the Directors who qualify for appointment as Partners at the present time just happen to be Yorubas.

It is probably no more than a coincidence. A time might also come when there are more Igbo Partners than others.

And I believe there are existing Partners of Igbo extraction in KPMG currently. Those ones are senior to the new Partners.

Is anyone suggesting that the existing Partners of Igbo extraction conspired to only appoint new Yoruba Partners?

You are on point.

The fact is that you cannot get employed in all the consulting firm in Nigeria if you are not Yoruba. Yoruba dominated the accounting profession before ANAN came on board. in 1989, i wrote ICAN and the yourba man that copied from me passed while i failed.
That is how they manipulate the financial sectors to the detriment of others.
