| The Controversial Open Letter To Asiwaju Tinubu A False Representation[Fraud] by Movic1(op): 2:41pm On Jun 19, 2016*. Modified: 3:01pm On Jun 19, 2016 |
I want to speak/write about the controversial Open Letter To Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu which hundreds of people have posted on Nairaland,thousands have shared it on Facebook/twitter. Many blogger have published it on their blog. This morning Vanguard Newspaper also published it on their site. But the funny part of the letter is that it has many Authors with Yoruba Names like Bayo,tunde etc.. Vanguard author was Morakinyo James Tunde While others are Adebayo Adeyinka, Babatunde Aderibigbe etc. Addressing the letter. Although there are many critical aspects in the letter that the Yorubas have to address. But the entire letter is just a hogwash. Point 1 The writer wrote about true federalism/Biafra. Many yorubas leaders have been fighting for true federalism in Nigeria, Even the almighty Asiwaju is not left out. Few days ago, we celebrated June 12 ,many prominent leaders call for Regionalism in several occassions used to celebrate the day. The writers in his letter wrote, From lagos to ilorin, the yorubas can't survive while comparing he boldly stated that the Igbo nation will survive if they are to get their biafra but the yorubas cant even if you give them oduduwa Republic. We all know those who are agitating,they can go any length to fool some gullible ones. Point 2 Manufacturing companies/Industries The reason why i won't go deep here is that the writer flopped in his letter. According to his letter, From lagos to Kwara,Yorubas in their large numbers own less than 5% of the total manufacturing companies.He went forward claiming that, more than 70% of the manufacturing major industries in the Lagos State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. I laughed and ask,What about the almighty Chinese,lebanese,Indians and others? If they owned more the 70% so the Chinese,lebanese and indians are sharing between 30% while the yorubas owned 0%. Won't the chinese,lebanese and indians be so foolish if they have 70% of Investment outside their country? The igbos own 70% but they have failed to show/proof it in their various states. We all know those that usually shout/mourn these words, We own lagos, Without Us lagos is nothing. My brothers this is another one in disguise About the housing structure/Estate he said the Yoruba nation is pathetic, it hinterland are still largely rural. Even some state capitals in yoruba land are villages when you compare them to towns in the South East. I keep asking myself, Why is this writer always comparing SW to SE. He asked how many new estates have been built in yorubaland over the last decade? I asked is this Guy Upgrading his brain? My Brother,we all know those who usually Spam the whole of Nairaland with old ibadan city pictures in comparison to/with the beautiful side of their towns down East. Don't be fooled. For him to say Yorubas control the media only, I give Up on this igbo guy. ![]() |

Movic1:The letter contains the TRUTH. Even the competetion that produces a 1day governor of Lagos has never been won by a yoruba student. The chinese and lebanese control less than 10% of lagos economy. I know personally that the igbos have over 60% of Lagos economy ranging from low to medium trade in clothes, electronics, autos and spares, entertainment, importation, clearing and forwarding, banking and finance, transportation (not danfo drivers), shipping and logistics, distributors of FMCG, restaurants and catering (not mama put), ... The yorubas hold top positions in industries but there are only FEW of such industries. The earlier yorubas wake up to the truth and put their house in order, the better for them. Outgoing yorubas know that the letter contains the TRUTH. |

This write-up is total nonsense, i have never seen an empty and brainless response as this as this all my life. What makes him an ibo guy? is it because he stated the latent truth that you find so difficult to accept? every right thinking yoruba man knows that the centralization of governance, has stifled not only the yoruba nation but nigeria at large. I'd suggest that you carry out a more thorough research to counter all the problems he identified instead of trying to push the blame to any tribal author. Thank you |

alade112:Oh. Banking and finance are petty trade, large scale distributors of goods is petty trade, importation is petty trade, dealers in electronics is petty trade, clearing and forwarding is petty trade. Lol, Manufacturing alone doesn't make an economy. Even in manufacturing, the igbos are taking over. The article contains the TRUTH that your people never want to hear. I live in the UK and I can tell you that there are few manufacturing firms here. They have more of service firms and they are doing very well. Your people should wake up. |

Yorubas do not control manufacturing. In fact, Nigeria manufactures almost nothing. We import everything, so what manufacturing are you talking about. Do you know more than the writer of the article who posits that yorubas are lagging behing. |

Realman87:Yimu. List these Igbo-controlled restaurants and caterings that are bigger than the Yoruba-owned Chicken Republic, Tantalizers, Tasty Fried Chicken, or Sweet Sensation, that are Igbo owned. While you're at it, also list those Igbo-owned Industries in Lagos and the SW you keep bragging about please. I guess to your sick mind the following SW based industries are Igbo-owned: Honeywell Flour Mills, GZI Industries, ProForce, Elizade, Bi-Courtney, Eleganza Group, Folawiyo Group, Petro Inett, Modandola Group, Manucom Fishing, Aiico Insurance, the Yoruba-owned banks, Insurance Companies, e.t.c. Even SME's (interestingly, after Lagos state, Oyo has the highest number of SME's in the country, higher than any SE state) we are comfortably in the lead. You know what SME's stand for right? And how many individuals you must employ to qualify as one?) all located in Yorubaland. I am waiting for those Igbo Big Businesses in Lagos and the SW (not 'pure water' ones o) that are more than Yoruba owned ones, and that give you all the ballz to brag. http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/pdfuploads/SMEDAN%202013_Selected%20Tables.pdf Also kindly List the number of Insurance companies players that are Igbo-owned dominating Yorubaland or Nigeria in general. How many Igbo-owned investments comes close to LADOL in Lagos? List the Banks that Igbos dominate that are more than the Yoruba-dominated/controlled Skye Bank, First Bank, Sterling Bank, GTBank, FCMB, e.t.c. List the Telecoms Company that are Igbo-owned/dominated like Yoruba-owned/controlled Globacom and NTel List the I.T businesses that are Igbo dominated that can stand the likes of Spectranet, CCHub, MainOne Which Igbo-owned businesses can match the dominance of Yoruba-controlled Oando, ConOil, and Forte Oil? The only Transport segment Igbos dominate is that of buses that convey their kinsmen between YOrubaland and the SE. Yorubas control the SW internal routes, e.g. When I take a bus from Lagos to Abeokuta or Ibadan, 9 out of 10 times the owner of the Bus is a Yorubaman and not an Igboman, so get your facts straight. In a nutshell, Yorubas already dominate the Big Businesses and industries that count, e.g Finance, Oil & Gas, I.T, Telecoms, Insurance, Manufacturing & Industry, e.t.c. It would be unfair of us to dominate everything so we've left them the crumbs like dominating the Super-Eagles, Gala Hawking , spare-parts bizness, Selling DVD/VCD at Alaba, Entertainment (though Yorubas dominate the Music scene, while we comfortably have our indigeneous Film industry on lockdown as well ), transporting your kinsmen to-and-from the SE to Yorubaland, e.t.c. Your people can keep dominating those. But even Commerce/trading sef una don dey dump that one sef for drug-trafficking. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/rivers-state-others-have-overtaken-s-east-in-commerce-industry/ Smh. |

When I was doing my nysc, 70% of yoruba graduates couldn't speak correct English. That is how low the yorubas have sunk. Now if you own an industry, will you employ such a graduate? Or will Federal agencies and multinationals employ them. Yoruba ronu. |

yeebos are pathetic. see that fool saying Yorubas can't speak proper English,after his flat skull as been cuffed with facts. all they do is churn out useless percentages,ask them to list the industries they claim to dominate,they'll will go dumb,the undisputed industries yeebos control are drug trafficking, sales of pirated CD,gala and fanyogo, baby factories, expired drugs. the shameful thing is that they are the lousiest tribe in Nigeria,no other tribe makes such volume of trite noise. |

Just whisper "Nnamdi Kanu" to the hearing of these confused hypocrites and you'll see them convulsing terribly with reckless abandon for the fear of Igbos and Easterners abandoning them with their Fulani masters... “Lagos ACN wants to let Nigerians know that Igbos constitute over 45 per cent of the population of Lagos and they dominate key sectors of the Lagos economy."

When I read that write up by the Adeyinka guy, I knew something was fishy.It was almost believing him until I heard that only single pharmaceutical company is owned by the Yoruba. Abeg who owns Daily Need, Mopson, Fidson, Healthplus, JayKay, Tuyil,Julie Pharmacy etc.? And in education? Osun state has been feeding pupils in schools until Kaduna joined 13 weeks ago and the result? http://www.punchng.com/osun-leads-cowbellpedia-qualifying-contest/ Charles Abah and Folashade Adebayo Results of the first round of this year’s Cowbellpedia Mathematics Qualifying Examination are out with pupils from Osun schools leading in the competition. [size=18pt]Our correspondents gathered that four out of the eight pupils, who got a perfect score of 100 per cent in the competition, emerged from the state.[/size] They are Ayomide Nafisat of Reality High School, Osogbo; Osagiede Efosa of Obafemi Awolowo International School, Ile-Ife; Ajayi Ayomide and Aromolaran Adegoke, both of Bibo Oluwa Academy, Ilesa. They are among the 46,698 pupils, comprising 24,255 (junior category) and 22,443 (senior category), that sat for the qualifying exams held in 235 centres across the country in March. The makers of Cowbell milk, Promasidor Nigeria Limited, are the organisers of the competition. No fewer than 108 students (54 each for junior and senior categories) are to participate in the second stage of the contest, which is a television quiz show. The Managing Director of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Mr. Olivier Thiry, who commended the participants as well as the National Examinations Council for their support for the competition, said the company had increased the prize money for the contest. This year, he said, the top prize winner in each category would receive N1m each in addition to other prizes, while their teachers would get N400,000. Thiry added that the first and the second runners-up would receive N750, 000 and N500, 000 respectively, among other prizes. Copyright PUNCH. |

It's shameful that a people are so confused about life that they rarely stand for anything good save to frenetically fish in troubled waters in search of decaying matters and shamelessly earn a living on pay-per-post basis just to attempt to quench the call for self-determination by Igbos. Sometime ago these minions went about with the propaganda that the IGR of Osun State is larger than the entire SE IGR until Osun State went under and became bankrupt and comatose with its citizens merely surviving by the kind gestures of other Nigerians. The same manner they boasted that Yorubas are the most educated group in Nigeria until the real statistics emerged and the loudmouthed tribalists are nowhere to be found. It's worthy of mention that Alayeism, Agberoism, Omonileism, Owomidaism and other anti-social behaviours are dubious tactics greedy and lazy Yorubas use to defraud and steal from law-abiding citizens. Yoruba deploy these miscreants, street urchins and criminals to roam around Igbo shops, to loot and steal from the sweats of law-abiding citizens. When a people out of cowardice pledges allegiance to slavery, the choice of freedom of expression becomes an aberration! Without much ado and for the benefit of doubts: Just for INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) Copied and modified: Ignorance is bliss! The biggest ICT market is Computer Village and we know it's Igbo dominated. The biggest indigenous ICT firm quoted on NSE is Zinox it's still Igbo owned. Note that the biggest one store for accessories and phone is Slot and Jumia (which are foreign owned). Now let's take it to online ..the biggest online site that generates traffic and megabucks.... is Linda ikeji Even suen the NL owner can't even see the back of Linda ikeji or Bella naija who are Igbo girls. The biggest travel business site...Wakanow is still Igbo owned. What about Yudala that is owned by Mr. Eke Zinox son. Iroko TV is owned by Jason Njoku an Igboman. Ovim phones What about those OEM representative in Computer Village Ikeja? The only thing that Yoruba do well in Computer Village is do pink lips and sell Agbo and their normal Alayeism. Which pay TV sector are Yoruba control is it dstv or startimes abeg tell us? Which radio sector do Yoruba dominate? Is it wazobia, Silver bird or Cool FM? Well we know Yorubas for lies and propaganda... I have not called the biggest collosus in e learning which is sidmach....do you also know who runs that ....well I leave you to guess What about software vendors and solution providers Wise men always come from East... Once again ignorance is bliss....we aggree with your Yoruba euphoria... Enjoy it while it lasts! |
