That was why I stated in my earlier post that Yorubas generally migrate for a purpose. Unlike the yee.bos who just travel without a game plan/'to hustle' (a lot of them would be better off remaining in the East sef than going abroad a lot of times), and then they end up having to resort to crimes like trafficking to survive abroad.

You not getting my post the Ebola(yeebos) are the drug kingpins and black name spoiling peeps here. Our people are either schooling here or professional in well paid jobs.

Salam sharaap!, you ijjiot with a big head that depends on Igbo guys for the air that you breath over there. Bloody baboon that couldn't get a good school to admit him and ended up in a ramshackle unaccredited poly that was established in 2012. Cretin with milkshakes for brains.

Stop bragging my friend. In as much as I don't support any tribal definition of the Nigerian context, I want you to know that Yoruba and Igbo are at per in time of success in every respect.

ArodewilliamsT:
An Igbo man Olaudah Equiano (Ikwuano) wrote the first black Autobio Before Samuel Crowther the sierra creole was born. Even after death in london he inspired crowther and taught him how to read and write including many other black africans. An Igboman will always lead in all ramifications and you are destined to follow.

Typical ignorant yoruba who has never stepped foot out of Southwest. Port Harcourt known as "EGWUOCHA" is historically an Igbo town. Fool!

chuna1985:
still on looooooooool ooo.

South West na proper village. ur online rant na for people whey never visit South West wella.

Mouth action na the foundation of South West.

Go n find a seat to sit down.

YOU HAVE TO READ ALL TO UNDERSTAND IN FULL...
OK guys, lemme explain somethings to you.
1) Hausa people had tried an invasion of the SW before, it didn't end well for them, we may not be violent, but we are skilled at self defence. Its not just you guys against them.
2) Every Yoruba is bred with knowledge of the perpetual enmity with Hausa's, infact an average Yoruba thinks of them as idiots (ask why they are called Abokis in SW)
3) Every Yoruba knows that Igbos are less of enemies and more of competitors to us. But every Yoruba also thinks of Igbos as prone to being dubious and disloyal, especially when they are set to benefit from it.
4) Due to the aforementioned, Yorubas prefer sometimes to deal with Hausas (whose state of enmity with them is sure), than with Igbos, who may be their friends but who may betray their trust, something Yoruba people value a lot, and know at least they cannot give to Hausas.
5) Be sure that like Igbos, Yoruba people also have a cause for feud with Hausas, one dat even goes beyond the creation of Nigeria, the place called Ilorin. No true Yoruba does not know of the story of Ilorin, Aare Afonja and Alimi.
6) Yoruba people are generally the most welcoming in this country, you may dispute it, but I've been to most other regions in this country, save NE. Thus we welcome Hausas as much as we welcome Igbos, Idomas, Efiks, Igalas, Tivs, etc. You are all welcomed in our Lands ( we don't like that no mans land talk).
7) Due to Pre-colonial trading, a lot of lingual similarities have occured between Hausas and Yorubas, thus in modern life, it may tell why Yorubas seem to understand Hausas and their Language/Culture faster and better than Igbos and their language/Culture. Its not for animosity.
This is subject to dispute, but an average Yoruba person,like Artisans and Traders and co, is highly interested in politics and governance, but doesn't really give a damn about either the Unity or Seperation of Nigeria, although when asked most would reply that "we are better off on our own".
9) The above Stated reason is why not too many Yoruba people go out of the SW for residence and those that do so are considered doing it at their own risk.
10) Yorubas are benefiting the most from the fracas between Hausas and Igbos, as they are able to make both bring their resources meant for other parts of the country to the SW, due to their non-partisan accommodation. Why do u think SW is the least poor region in the country, and having the highest per capita standard of living (fact from Nigerian Bureau of Statistics)

AshiwajuFoward:
Am sure you've checked out those links and felt ashamed, huh? Happens each time a flatt.head does that.. You're probably in some.. 20x20 kiosk in Onitsha, manning your boss's shop and killing some time here on Nairaland. Based on your retort, I can bet my last dollar that you have never in your life stepped foot in the SW. Yup, I said it. I can pay your bus fare to Lagos to come see Naija's "small London", like Chike from "Chike and the River" reputedly remarked in that best-seller. But if you chose to reject my offer, my response is fine, "Ignorance is bliss".

mkbessman:
guy! you're not educated.... a tribalist in this era? you just disgraced yourself..... look at you talking of trust.... Yoruba you say?

pls go and sleep

AlPeter:
read them over again there is no contradiction

chuna1985:
Looooooooooooooooooool.

50% of sw have never visited any city outside sw.

49% have visited outside sw.

1 percent live abroad.

Teempakguy:
1% of SW = 5 million.
Pointless argument.

chuna1985:
1% of sw - 5 million, are they 500 million Yoruba/SW in Nigeria n beyond Abi una Don turn China

detosho:
Why do u guys keep mentioning dat Awo/Ojukwu issue. U guys should learn to let tins like dat go. Yoruba people let Ziks betrayal of Awo and Ziks alignment with the North, Ziks collabration with North to send Awo to jail, Aguiyi Ironsi's leaving of Awo in prison to rot, and so on go.
The GEJ issue was simple, the entire SW felt neglected by his government,as there was no visible development here by him, then the unchecked issues of corruption and his seeming indifference to it.
Even before elections, I was in OAU, and I watched Students of all ethnic affiliation carry "GEJ must go" banners, it had to happen, if the SE/SS had presented a better candidate, he migt have had hope, don't forget we voted for GEJ massively in 2011, even at the expense of CAN which controlled our States den, see where that led us, and even Ribadu is nw in PDP.

AshiwajuFoward:
LOL. No be only EWUOCHA, na EWUCANBEER you for call am. Go tell that to the Ikwerres of PH who hate your Igbo people with a passion and denounce any affiliation with them. I'm a well traveled and U.S. Educated Yoruba-man. I've been to the S-East and frankly there's nothing there for an average entreprising and ambitious Yoruba man -- heck, even the Young igbomen are leaving the place for my region in droves. Is it jobs? Or is it sound educational institutions of higher learning as are obtainable in my region? Dude, unless I want to trade, no.. squash that.. I'll rather trade here in the SW where there's an even bigger market. Really, what else does the SE have to offer a young up-an-coming chap who isn't interested in trading? Like seriously? Jokes apart.

Teempakguy:
na the thing wey I deyask you be that nah.
How is almost 5 million yorubas in diaspora one percent?

Aareonakakanfo:
I know you're trying to make your inferior self feel good but its okay.

First of all Yoruba shouldn't even be in the same sentence with igbo if you know about history. it's even a bigger INSULT! that we're being compared with you. you know deep inside you its an insult to the Yoruba nation

The same people whose language we wrote its first primer?

The same people who were unknown prior to colonialism?

The same people we educated by giving free education?

The same people who can't breathe without coming to our land?

The same people whose land we don't go to?

People who were still walking unclad years after we were already clothed?


Are these the people you're putting in the same sentence with Yoruba people?

Anyways i blame it on the OP who probably has no knowledge of yoruba people and its history

Honestly the fact that we live together in the same country is the source of all these garbage. we've descended so low to to the extent that we're now exchanging jibes with "tribes" with no relevant history .Obviously the union has benefited you all more because they say "familiarity breeds contempt". originally this shouldn't even be a discussion if the red idiots never merged us together. For heaven's sake we're talking about a yoruba nation with a deep history, language, culture, arts.civilization,religion, literature,medicine. a nation that has fought wars in comparison with some wandering tribe . A nation that has produced some of the greatest artefacts in the history of the black race. you know deep inside you, you feel really good when you're been compared to the Yoruba nation to you its an honor. because you know ordinarily if not for the red idiots you wouldn't even be a topic today

chuna1985:
u went to America n back, u went to SE n back, yet u don't know rivers state/PH is an igbos city/state.

S waste, Lying is the foundation of ur tribe.

chuna1985:
why are u trying to count the Yoruba people that were sold to slavery as diaspora. Its 500,000 and not 5 million.


only igbos in Lagos are 5 million sef.

AshiwajuFoward:
Nigga please. It's not my fault that virtually all the Ikwerre folks I have come across in port Harcourt vehemently deny your claim that PH is an igbo city. In fact, they take such suggestion very very personal -- I don't understand why but that is my personal experience. If you feel differently that's fine I guess. But I would rather believe their version.

chuna1985:
u have never been to pH.

A tribe of local champions.
