The yorubas for decades have been claiming that igbos don’t sell land to them. Ok let’s assume that it’s true. The real question that Nigerians are not asking Yorubas is did other tribes also refuse to sell land to them? Where are the yorubas buying land from Bini, Efik, ibibio, Tiv, Kanuri, Gwari, Hausa, etc ? Did the Igbos tell those people not to sell land to Yoruba? Talk to anyone in these groups that I mentioned, they can point to areas in their communities where Igbo business people bought land and developed but they can never point to where yorubas have bought land and develop in their communities. Another point is that because of their nepotistic involvement in the oil and gas sector, port harcourt has harbored a large Yoruba population yet you can’t point to one estate yorubas developed in port harcourt or a community in rivers state where Yoruba people came together, bought land and developed. It’s time Nigerians collectively ask yorubas to shut up. |

Factcheck0001:Cowardly Yorubas should stop looking for co travellers and face their rivalry with Igbos alone. |

Okay, we agree Igbos sell land but why should I be interested in a land that will be washed away by erosion and that some louts will force me to stay at home on Mondays Why would I want to stay in the most insecure region in Africa when I have lands in Lagos, Ibadan and Abeokuta? |

XerXers:Between Kanu, Ekpa and Ojukwu, we still haven’t been able to tell who the biggest Nigerian coward is Kanu threatened that Nigeria will collapse if he’s arrested and he’s been eating beans for three years now Ekpa threatened the same and he’s singing a different tune Check all those that stood against military and have led major protests in Nigeria, it’s always been Yorubas while you only thump your chest and hide your wet tails between your shaky legs when it’s time to act Bunch of cowards… Very soon, you will see the fire you’ve been stoking blow up in your face |

yoruboid:Lol. Stood against military indeed. Ogundipe and Adisa are the greatest cowards in the army. I don't want to talk about Obasanjo that got shot in the buttocks in Owerri, a clear sign of fleeing from warfront |

XerXers:is ogundipe Yoruba warlord? How many yorubas know about ogundipe? Without Google I can bet u don't even know ogundipe full name So do u want to compare ogundipe an unknown man to nnamdiot kanu n ekpa that u Igbos donated for? |

Factcheck0001:Because there is little or no federal investment that will attract outsiders to southeast.Make any of SE cities a federal capital today and see things change.Can you compare how Lagos attract visitors to any other state in southwest? How many non indigenes lives in Ekiti state? How many non indigenes lives in a state like Taraba for example? People migrate where they will find opportunities nor matter how hostile the host community may be. |

: 9:13am All these people that always talk with all sides of their mouths at the same time should ask themselves some certain questions. What does an average Yoruba man in the Southeast cities do for a living? They are mostly tailors, tilers, pop ceiling labourers, masons keke and okada riders, agbo sellers etc. They do not engage in high capital commercial activities or build sustainable commercial activity especially trading. Land is very expensive in Southeast cities, biko how does a tailor shell out an average of N50m to buy land in a reasonable spot?. How do you buy land? You buy land by engaging yourself in a work, trade or skill in a location, become successful in your endeavour, save, accumulate wealth and buy property that will help sustain the wealth you created. How can you buy land without engaging yourself lucratively in any location? Trading in the South East is very competitive, how does an average Yoruba man that is not trained in sustainable capital building cope? Do people understand what it takes to start a business with N500k capital and build it up to N50m upwards in 5 to 10 years? One tailor Laide, in my area is doing ok in his tailoring work. What does he do with the money he makes? He changes his Nigeria used car to another Nigerian used, every year and celebrates with crates of beer in the front of his shop. We are always invited to come drink and thank God for enabling him change yet another car each year. Passers by are also asked to join in the beer galore, but... Who will tell Laide that he is bad in financial management without being accused of being jealous of his "successful" car buying spree? Serious minded Yoruba businessmen hardly venture out of their geopolitical enclave to explore other parts of Nigeria. If we stopped them from buying land, did we stop them from renting or buying shops in our markets. Did we stop them from engaging in trading apprenticeships? If you know the discipline an Igbo trader enforce on himself to build capital, you will not open your mouth anyhow to spill rubbish. |

Let me ask though... Does any Yoruba man has land in Benin, Port Harcourt, Yenegoa, Warri, etc? |

The yorubas for decades have been claiming that igbos don’t sell land to them. Lies.. Yoruba’s are not claiming anything. Wetin concern Yoruba concern Agulu land? |
| Re: On This Issue Of Selling Land, Nigerians Should Ask This Question by horsepower102(op): 11:30pm On Nov 24, 2024 |
Factcheck0001:You still never addressed the main issue. Why are yorubas not buying land in other areas of Nigeria? Did they also refuse to sell you land? A Yoruba man will stay in port harcourt or Uyo for decades yet won’t buy a single land and add to the development. |
