Abagworo:
It is Igbos only that labelled APC Muslim party even before it was formed but common sense proves its secular. Every strategy employed by most Igbos is so self destructive and suicidal that I often wonder if Ndigbo are really zombie.

If indeed it's about Fulani hegemony why are Igbos the ones supporting Dasuki direct descendant of Uthman Danfodio involved in destruction of our armed forces or proudly Fulani man Bukola Saraki who so much love Fulani that despite seeming Yoruba in everything they still claim Fulani?

I know it's all about power and Igbos are being sheepishly misled into self destruction by those who looted our economy dry because Buhari wants to end corruption in Nigeria. The end of it all if unchecked will be a polgrom worse than ever recorded in Africa.

Haven't been online all day, only logged in this evening just to see my mentions littered with smelly saliva from iPod Donkeys!! I was wondering what has made them run mad again only to see this thread!!

Useless idiots. Insults insults and insults is all they do, single objective thoughts they can NEVER process.

Yesterday it was one other Igbo guy that wrote a masterpiece on their foolish behaviour especially their rants and misplaced hatred for everyone- of course, true to type, they rained insults upon him.

Some of the cowardly idiots are only good at hiding behind others to like and quote their insults.

Na so dem take harass and torment TonyeBarcanista until him tender apology to them. Let them keep day dreaming Omenka would do same- well, I would the day OjuIkwu "manhood" eventually dies, since Mama Piss says it lives on.

I hardly respond to quotes especially when they degenerate to insult but since you decided to respond with some civility and a spark of some intelligence comments,I decided to make an exception by correcting you in almost all the points you made. And I will do so with facts and history.
Let me start from your last points. You stated that 'your history' shows that yorubas beats other tribes in politics. That's a very big historic lie. Are you aware that this is the first time in Nigeria's history that yorubas got their alignment right. Let's go down history lane. In the 1st republic,awolowo under AG contested and lost to Zik of NCNC. The prime minister,Tafawa Balewa became like the VP(it was a parliamentary govt). In 1979,awo came up again under UPN and lost to the new breed of young politicians of Shagari/Ekwueme of NPN. That was when he cried that if only 'he could be allowed to be president for even a day.'
Then in 1999,the yorubas lined up behind Falae/shinkafi of AD/APP alliance while the south east and south south with the help of some North central states backed OBJ/Atiku. In 2007,tinubu fronted atiku for A.C.N and yorubas lost with him. Buhari under ANPP/CPC won a few north west states but the south east,south south,North central voted Yardua/Jonathan. In 2011,the yorubas went with Ribadu/adeola and lost again. So I wonder why their 1st ever successful alliance will qualify them as ahead of anybody.

In your other point,you declared that igbos are bigotted. On the contrary. Now go thru the history again. Igbos and south south voted overwhelmingly for OBJ(a yoruba man) even when he defeated Ekwueme that formed the PDP. We did not cry foul. We did not hate obj for that. We still backed him while his own people followed Falae and lost woefully. In 2007,Yaradua of PDP won in the south east and south south. Is he an igbo man? Igbos are never bigotted. Instead they are the tribe who will least consider tribe in making any decision in any sphere of life. Is GEJ an igbo man?
But the yorubas only backed their tribesman since Nigeria's independence.

You claim that igbos are the most backward in democratic settings. That's a big lie from the belle of hell. Many historical records and books from the british show that when they arrived Nigeria,their records claim that igbos were already with democratic institutions. That is why the south east was the last region they could capture because they couldn't find one single man with totalitarian power to influence. Everything was discussed by each village's council of elders and put to a voice vote. They now had to use military force and then enthrone warrant chiefs. No central sultan to buy over,no emir over a large region,no oba controlling over large region,no ooni etc with absolute power. I can post one of such reports for you here. No single man in igbo land wields absolute power,it must be subjected to vote which is now in practice Nationwide.

On your point made about God. I had expected that a person of your intelligence would have understood that it was an allegory used to clearly illustrate the point being made. In simple words,it meant that the yorubas will ditch the best saint for the worst person once the worst 'satan' wins. Who doesn't know that the Lord is not a democrat but the Almighty Sovereign Lord. You made no point there,instead exhibited a lack of IQ.

And in your first point of it being just an election. Permit me to explain that for igbos,their disdain for buhari wasn't about this election. They wouldn't have mind anyother northerner except buhari. They don't have anything tribal about it,afterall,they've massively voted northerners severally before. Their suspicion is with buhari whom they have always known by his antecedents to be an unrepentant tribal bigot from his track record. Tinubu would have even won in igboland if he had contested against buhari. Today,things happening in nigeria today by the massive movement of govt to the north has shown that igbos were right afterall. Even yorubas are being sidelined in the 'northern takeover'. Instead of attacking igbos,they should be commended for the foresight about this fulani bigot. They are the ones who foresaw this. Their grouse isn't because GEJ lost,no. Its because an unrepentant and incompetent tribal bigot won. Igbos would have voted massively for anyother northern liberal muslim over buhari.
As for your opening insult,well,I leave that to the youthful exhuberance that goes with your age.
In conclusion,you made no tangible verifiable point in all your assertions

You didn't attend elementary school or any school in Nigeria at all?

This is very very sad.

And yet, some of you Igbo's will come up and begin to shout "Igbo only stands for justice" but will be quick to label any Igbo man who's saying the obvious a non-Igbo, osu (to think someone fighting for justice still had injustice in his cultural make-up without addressing it!) or other mis-name. Man, face up to reality sir, Igbo have a long way to go and they must hear dissent voices rather than making them persona nongrata.

now you tell me who won

go through the whole thread u must come to an agreement that

1 Igbos are special tribe that shall never being considered Africans

2 The yoruba and co hate us!

by the way this is not rocket science

the evidence speak for itself

upon all the hate they proclaimed when was the last time Igbo went on unwarranted killing of the hausa and yorubas

when was the last time the so called criminals in the name of Igbo leaders asked people to go and jump in lagoon

The truth is Igbokwe is writing junk for black people

Only the Igbo can set the black race free for good of your children next generation

It is written all over the wall !

A Yoruba Lady i met here at some point here in UK told me yoruba people are backward; that i just dnt understand these people

Olabestonic001:
Will you like me to believe that comment from that Yoruba lady of yours?
Is Joe Igbokwe also not pointing to similar issues in Igbo and you all are running amok on him already?
The Truth is; Igbo is still in his own bondage and needs to deliver himself before he considers liberating the black race! The worst part is that, his bondage might never be broken as he has perpetually live in self-denial. He has blamed all but himself for his misery. He also thinks he's more better than any other tribe in Nigeria while only excelling in personal endeavors rather than corporate endeavors. To him, a personal success mean he must be it, while not knowing that a corporate success is superior.
And its better we ask: why does he labor that much? The answer is: because of money! Not legacy or any of such. But, personal aggrandizement. Yoruba's does not hate Igbo. He has never attacked or kill his people. He has gave him the opportunity to excel. Igbo just have one key problem: paranoia.

33xtr33r:
One thing is certain with the Igbo Nation: Igbos are not like the Yorubas and some other docile tribes in Nigeria who are too myopic to follow criminals and their rougish candidates sheepishly and blindly. Igbos are not political saboteurs like the Yorubas who are mendacious and notoriously known for making a living out of lies, falsehood, noise-making, propaganda, abuse and slurs.

At the outset of PMB administration Igbo leaders were the first to visit Aso Rock to congratulate him and pledge their support for him. Immediately Yorubas and their cohorts were infuriated and were all over the media ranting and abusing Igbo leaders for making such visits. The bitterness was vivid and yet Igbo leaders did not insult or attack the presidency.

It's on record and verifiable that Igbos have not stood against the progress of the presidency. 

In aftermath of the 2011 victory of GEJ at the polls Yoruba National Youth Corp Members where butchered by PMB kinsmen without much noise from the Yorubas.
Yorubas did not deem it to rant carelessly and make noise everywhere.

In the build up to the 2015 general elections many Yorubas and their numerous media outfits abused GEJ and the office of the presidency with reckless abandon. Yorubas called GEJ unprintable names - clueless, shoeless, drunkard, fisherman, dumb, Boko-Haram sponsor even when it's an open secret that BH was an evil invention by Northerners to destabilise and islamise the country; coupled with treasonable threats like forming a parallel govt, make the country ungovernable,  'soaked in the blood of dog and the baboon' threat.

Yorubas and their elites spearheaded the campaigns of calumny and insults that earned GEJ the most insulted president ever in history.

Indeed, virtually every Yoruba person is blinded by hypocrisy and delusion. Just last Saturday, July 10, 2016, a Yoruba woman was dismembered by Northern islamists for preaching in Abuja and yet the deluded people are nowhere to be found on NL creating endless threads to register their anger.

To the hypocritical Yorubas, the Hausa-Fulanis are peaceful and accommodative and thus have no problem; they can kidnap, kill, maim, destroy and ravage Yorubaland and as much as they like. 
Yorubas are more concerned about the Igbo people seeking self-determination peacefully than a group of islamic fanatics butchering and slaughtering people under the guise of religion even without provocation.

33xtr33r:
It's baffling how Yorubas who are too confused to ever stand for something good in life would be grandstanding carelessly against the Igbo Nation - their eternal nemesis.

Find the article by Waheed B. on HOW YORUBA TRADITIONAL RULERS CONNIVED WITH ABACHA TO ROB MKO ABIOLA OF HIS MANDATE. Explain to your readership how Yorubas are synonymous with greed, selfishness, bile-filled hatred, wickedness and treachery.

Prominent Yoruba elites have received an overdose of humiliation from their Hauda-Fulani masters that will last them a life time and yet Yorubas have only but maintained a deafening silence and would rather point accusing fingers on Igbos who have been far from political power for close to 50 years.

The gross injustice and wickedness against the Igbo Nation have not deterred the Igbos from doing excellently and even competing on the world stage. The Igbo Nation remains unstoppable...

An Open letter to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on future of Yorubaland
Published on June 18, 2016 by · 29 Comments
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of APC

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of APC

By Adebayo Adeyinka

My dear Asiwaju,

I am compelled to write this open letter to you because of the state of affairs of the Yoruba nation. Firstly, I wish to acknowledge that fate has put you in a prime position to determine to a large extent the direction that the Yoruba people will go. The indisputable truth is that one may quarrel with your politics but your sagacity is never in doubt. Even those who don’t see eye to eye with you agree that you are imbued with unusual native intelligence, uncommon people skills and unrivaled foresight. You, more than any other person, has been the game changer since the advent of democracy in 1999. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to direct this letter to you.

My singular purpose is to tug at the strings of your heart. I am not writing to appeal to partisan considerations but to see, if per chance, I can pour out my heart to you in a manner of speaking. God has blessed you even beyond your wildest imagination. You have installed Senators and Governors. You have removed Governors and even a President. You have also installed a President. There is nothing you have wished for or desired that you didn’t get. Fortune has smiled on you. Goodwill follows you everywhere you go. You have done very well- more than most men ever will. However, there is one area that is begging for your urgent attention. This area may well define you and all you have ever achieved.

This matter, in my opinion, is the only difference between you and the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Let me restate for the purpose of emphasis that this is the area in which the late sage and Leader of the Yorubas stand head and shoulders above you. It is the reason his name has been a constant denominator in our regional and national politics. It is the reason politicians, friends and foes invoke his name for political advantage and personal glory. It is also the reason why we can’t stop talking about him almost thirty years after his death. What will anyone say about you thirty years after you have transited?

Asiwaju Sir, you may be wondering what I’m talking about? It is the issue of legacy. According to Peter Strople, ‘Legacy is not leaving something for people, it is leaving something in people’. Legacy is building something that outlives you. Legacy is greater than currency. In the words of Leonard Sweet, ‘ What you do is your history. What you set in motion is your legacy’. You can’t live forever, Sir. No one can. But you can create something that will. Enough of speaking in parables- I shall now speak plainly.

When destiny brought you on the scene, we were enamoured because you championed the case for true federalism. It was your belief then that the Yoruba nation will fare better under a restructured arrangement than under the type of unitary government we run while pretending by calling it a federal government. Everyone knows that there is nothing federal about our government at all. If truth must be told, the Yoruba nation has fared very badly since the advent of our new democracy. And this is not about holding power at the centre.
Bayo Adeyinka: writes Tinubu an Open letter

Bayo Adeyinka: writes Tinubu an Open letter

Let me bring this home: someone passed a comment recently that he would want Biafra to become a reality because he knows the Igbo nation will survive. That comment led me to deeper introspection as I wondered if the Yorubas can truly survive. Let me cite my first example. From Oyo to Osun, Ogun to Ondo, Ekiti to Kwara and Lagos, hardly will one see any serious industry or manufacturing concern owned by a Yoruba person. I am not talking about portfolio businesses or one-man business concerns. Most industries in Oyo State are owned by the Lebanese. The native business and industry gurus who dominated the landscape- Nathaniel Idowu, Amos Adegoke, Lekan Salami, Alao Arisekola, Adeola Odutola, Jimoh Odutola, Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni and others- are all gone with no credible replacements. I’m sure you remember the tyre factory of the Odutolas and how Jimoh Odutola was even asked by the Governments of Kenya and Ghana to set up a similar factory in their countries.

Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni, popularly called T.A Oni & Sons started the first indigenous construction company in Nigeria. He willed his residence- Goodwill House, to the Oyo/Western state government, to be used as a paediatrics Hospital, which is now known as T.A Oni Memorial Children Hospital at Ring Road in Ibadan. This sprawling family Estate and residence was cited on a 15acre piece of land, 65 rooms, with modern conveniences, Olympic Swimming Pool and stable for Horses, etc.

People like Chief Bode Akindele started companies like Standard Breweries and Dr Pepper Soft drink factory at Alomaja in Ibadan. Broking House built by the late Femi Johnson, an insurance magnate, still stands glittering in the mid-day sun as an epitome to a rich history that Ibadan has. The most serious and only notable Yoruba entrepreneur we have now is Michael Adenuga. I say this quite consciously because most of the other names are oil and gas barons. Most of what stood as testaments of industry in Oyo State are gone— Exide Batteries, Leyland Autos and many others. In its place are shopping malls and road side markets but no nation develops through buying and selling alone- especially when you’re not actually producing what you’re selling.

Hypermarkets and supermarkets have taken over because of the need to feed our insatiable consumer-appetite and foreign tastes. In one instance, an ancient landmark in the form of a hotel was demolished to pave way for a mall. That is how low we have sunk. If our past is better than our present- if we always look back with nostalgia frequently, then there is a problem.

The case of other states is not different. Osun’s case is pathetic. Ditto for Ondo and Ekiti. Ogun State can boast of some factories at Sango-Otta and Agbara axis but most of them are not owned by the Yorubas. There is no significant pharmaceutical company owned by any Yoruba except for Bond Chemicals in Awe, Oyo State- and its wallet share is very insignificant. For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the 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%.

In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don’t forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective.

Asiwaju, I will like to also talk about the state of education in the Yoruba nation. Our education has gone to the dogs. We have a bunch of mis-educated and ill-educated young men and women roaming the streets. Ibadan, for instance, had the first University in Nigeria and the first set of research centres in Nigeria ( The Forestry Research Institute, the Cocoa Research Institute (CRIN), The Nigerian Cereal Research Institute Moor Plantation (NCRI), the NIHORT (Nigerian Institute of Horticultural Research), the NISER (Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research), IAR&T (Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training), amongst several others). Ibadan was the bastion of scholarship with people like Wole Soyinka, JP Clark, D.O Fagunwa and Amos Tutuola as residents. In the May/June 2015 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, Abia came tops. Anambra came 2nd while Edo was 3rd. Lagos placed 6th while Osun and Oyo was 29th and 26th. Ekiti was 11th, Ondo State was 13th and Ogun State was 19th. In 2013 WASSCE, only Lagos and Ogun States were the Yoruba States above the national average. If we do an analysis of how Lagos placed 6th in 2015, you will discover that it was substantially because of other nationalities resident in Lagos.

For proof, please look no further than the winners of the Spelling Bee competition which has produced One-Day Governors in Lagos State. Since inception in 2001, other nationalities have won the competition six times (Ebuka Anisiobi in 2001, Ovuwhore Etiti in 2002, Abundance Ikechukwu in 2006, Daniel Osunbor in 2008, Akpakpan Iniodu Jones in 2011 and Lilian Ogbuefi in 2012). Sir, there is something seriously wrong about our state of education. From the vintage times of Obafemi Awolowo who initiated ‘free education’, we have regressed into a most parlous state.

Let me talk about roads, housing and infrastructure . The first dualized road in Nigeria, the Queen Elizabeth road from Mokola to Agodi in Ibadan was formally commissioned by Queen Elizabeth in 1956. The first Housing Estate in Nigeria is Bodija Housing Estate (also in Ibadan) which was built in 1958. The state of roads in the Yoruba nation has become pathetic. Our hinterland are still largely rural. Even some state capitals like Osogbo and Ado-Ekiti are big villages when you compare them to towns in the South East. How many new estates have been built over the last decade? Even Ajoda New Town lies in ruins.

We have abandoned the farm settlement strategy of the Western Region and only pay lip service to agriculture. Instead of feeding others like we once did, others now feed us. We plant no tomatoes, no pepper and the basic food that we require. The Indians have bought the large expanse of water body that we have in Onigambari village. The water body in Oke Ogun of Oyo State can provide enough fish to feed the whole of the South West. From being a major cocoa exporter many years ago, one can point to just a few vestiges of factories that still deal with Cocoa in the Yoruba nation. 80% of Cocoa processing industries in the South West have been shut down. The Chinese have taken over the cashew belt at Ogbomoso in Oyo State. They have even edged out the indigenes as brokers.

They now come to the cashew belt to buy from the local farmers, sell on the spot to other Chinese exporters who now process the cashew nuts and import them back into Nigeria at a premium. Sir, there are only 7 major cashew processing plants in Nigeria and you can check out the ownership. The glory has departed from the Yoruba nation.

Apart from Asejire, Ede, Ikere Gorge and Oyan dams built ages ago, where are the new dams to cater for increased population and water capacity for the Yoruba nation? How have we improved on what our heroes past left us? Maybe apart from certain areas in Lagos State, others can’t even supply their citizens with pipe-borne water.

Our youth which we used to take pride in are largely a mass of unemployed and unemployable people. Have you noticed the abundance of street urchins, area boys, touts and ‘agberos’ that we now have all across the Yoruba nation? Have you noticed the swell in the ranks of NURTW (I mean no disrespect to an otherwise noble union)? Have you noticed the increase in the number of Yoruba beggars? There was a time that it was taboo for a Yoruba man to beg- but no more. The spirit of apprenticeship is dead. There was a time that people who learn vocational skills celebrate what we referred to as ‘freedom’. While that is largely moribund now in the Yoruba nation, the Igbos still practice it with great success.

The only thing we can boldly say the Yoruba nation controls is the information machinery- the press. We own largely the newspapers- the Nation, Punch, Nigerian Tribune, TV Continental and a few others. It is because of our control of this information machinery that we have rewritten the narrative in the country with the misguided self-belief that things are normal and we are making progress. A look beyond the surface will prove that this is so untrue.

We are largely divided. For the first time in the history of the Yoruba nation, religion is about to divide us further- and it is starting from Osun State. You are married to a Christian. My own father-in-law is an Alhaji. That is how we have peacefully co-existed but the fabrics are about to be torn to shreds because of poor management of issues. Afenifere has been reduced to a shadow of itself.

OPC that once defended Yoruba interests has gone into oblivion. Yoruba elders have been vilified in the name of politics and partisanship. It is no longer news to see teenagers throwing stones at their elders because of their political indoctrination. Even under the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Yorubas never belonged to just a single party- yet our unity was without blemish. Now, our values have gone down the drain.

Asiwaju, I believe I have said enough. The task is Herculean but I believe Providence has brought you here for such a time like this. It is time for the Yoruba nation to clean up its acts. What do we really want? How can we quickly right the wrongs? The Yoruba nation is in a state of arrested development. The Yoruba nation is gasping for breath and crying for help. Will you rise up to the occasion? I am aware you understand that all politics is local and charity begins at home. Our fathers gave us a proverb: ‘Bi o’ode o dun, bi igbe ni’gboro ri’. I know there are no quick fixes but I also know that if there is anyone who has the capacity to do something about our current situation, that person is you. This should be the legacy you should think of. Your legacy is our future.

Yours Very Sincerely,
Adebayo Adeyinka

"Seeking Self-determination" peacefully my foot! When all you guys went on Yoruba jugular for supporting a candidate and inciting violence against his illustrious son for Aba crusade, you didn't remember right? IPOB are in no way peaceful to a Yoruba man perception. A body that openly incite against Yorubas can never be peaceful.
Pastor Adeboye has gone to visit the man who lost his wife to the miscreants. I personally campaigned against such murderous act on my Facebook. Just because we do not shout against Hausa but against the miscreants of Hausa extraction does not mean we're feeble. Its foolish to do that. There have been arrests in connection with that evil act. Yoruba's are not a set of "weaklings" who shout but have no result like the Igbos.
In history, whenever we lead an onslaught, we always ended up winning, because we are deliberate in our choice. Kindly remind me when Igbo has been able to achieve such a feat than make a noise and chest beat on social media.

Indeed the serpent head is severely bruised already. There's no remedy.

Igbos are not interested in sharing a country with verm1ns and vagabonds parading as 'One Nigerianists'.

It will be honourable for you lots to channel your negative energies towards consolidating OduaArewanistan republic now before it's too late.

Dimw1tted bigot, I shall attempt to help cure your great delusion and hypocrisy...

It has been a curse having your likes in the same country and this curse is broken already and the serpent head is severely bruised and that's why many Yorubas are on rampage attempting in vain to quench the raging IPOB tsunamic movement.

The fact still remains that Igbos are comfortable having a separate existence from greedy, treasury looters cum murderous backst*bbers.

Yoruba International Terrorists - Adebolajo, Adebowale (Woolwich attack)

During the reign of IBB some drug peddlers were executed at bar beach and that was the first and only drug offence execution in Nigeria. The drug criminals were of Yoruba origin. Yorubas introduced illicit drug business at a time when very little was known of it.

The first pastor caught with cocaine was a Yoruba man. 
A Yoruba woman holds the record for the highest kilogram weight of drugs intercepted by drug enforcement agency. 

Cultism was introduced into Nigeria institutions of learning by Wole Soyinka.

Fetishness, Cannibalism and Ritualism are case studies in Yoruba land. Yorubas have enough evils in their juju-infested enclave for theses.

Yoruba criminal Suliman Olufemi was sentenced to death in 2004 in Saudi Arabia: https://www.nairaland.com/308703/saudi-arabia-beheads-nigerian-alleged
Qorbi bin Mussa Adam death sentence over an allegation of murdering a Saudi national. He was the second Nigerian to be executed in Saudi Arabia this year 2009 after another Nigerian, Jamil 'Abbas Shu'ayb, was beheaded in May. 

Last time UK police were recriuting Yoruba-speakers into the force inorder to curb the high crime rate of crimes exclusive to Yorubas who dominates the British prisons with credit scam frauds, spams, yahoo-yahoo, and other crimes.

Credit fraudsters in UK, email scam capital in lagos state, travelling scammers, yahoo yahoo boys, ritualist.. Inbreeding, polithieves! money laundering cowards... The amount of money yoruba fake travelling agents have duped from young igbo men is staggering! I think we have not talked about this.
Yorubas have duped hundreds of innocent and young Igbos on travelling scams but unlike Yorubas Igbos are not snitches.

[size=14pt]The most wanted Nigerians for crimes in the USA are all Yorubas!
[/size]
...they operate in other shores. Their activities are an embarrassment to all of us. They indulge in crimes for which all of us should flinch. Indeed, the United States Secret Service and narcotics agents have dubbed the

18 as some of the most wanted on their list. A manhunt is on to arrest 15 of them. Already, three others have been arrested by Interpol officers in Lagos.

Prove that Yorubas are not notorious in the following criminal acts:

1. have the highest number of bast*rds.

2. have highest number of ritualists and cannibals. 

3. have the highest number of juju-wiedling folks 

4. have the highest number of assassinated politicians despite laying claims to 'sophistication'

5. Yoruba kidnappers and merchants of human parts and blood in Soka Evil Forest.

6. Internationally acclaimed drug peddlers as national leaders - Tinubu and Buruji.

7. Virtually all diabolical armed robbers are Yorubas.

8. Virtually all fetish, confused people in Nigeria are Yorubas.

9. Virtually all dirty people who live in dirts, squalor and penury are Yorubas.

10. Virtually all alayes, agberos and omoniles are Yorubas.

11. Virtually all thugs and toutish politicians in Nigeria are Yorubas.

12. Virtually all suffersticated cowards in Nigeria are Yorubas.

13. Bulk of juju-infested people in Nigeria are Yorubas.

14. Bulk of witches and wizards in Nigeria are Yorubas.

15. Bulk of evil ocultic people in Nigeria are Yorubas,

16. Bulk of backst*bbers and traitors in Nigeria are Yorubas.

17. Bulk of incestuous products in Nigeria are Yorubas.

18. Bulk of diabolic hypocrites in Nigeria are Yorubas.

19. Yorubaland - THE WORLD CAPITAL OF RITUAL-KILLERS AND CANNIBALS

Note that there's virtually no week that passes by without one Yoruba person being caught in ritual-killing and kidnapping.

Yorubas shamelessly deploy juju and fetish charms at work, play, church, market. Yorubas are notorious ritual killers, kidnappers, cannibals and human parts merchants. 

A typical Yoruba person rarely believe one can can achieve success in life without resort to ritual killings and cannibalism.

Total rubbish,

1st of all I am not Yoruba, and if Yoruba are as notorious for drug dealing, fake goods and destroying Nigeria's reputation as the ibos do I will say it. I continuously mention mallams for their terrorism and religious bigotry.

I am aware of some of your statistics but what a monkey like you failed to understand is that of the 8,805 arrests you refered to in these states, majority of the culprits are actually ibos!!!!!!! They are not Katsina, Akwa Ibom or South West tribesmen, they are ibo residents and travelling criminals in those states. Go and ask NDLEA again! Giade said it and NDLEA continues to say it.

Your numbers don't add up, The percentage of ibos in Nigeria is very small in relation to their convictions and incaceration in Nigeria and abroad.

If there is a Nigerian passport holder arrested, jailed or executed for drugs 90% of the time it will be ibo - and that is in Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Brazil to Dubao to China to Thailand!

I fly continuosly for business, I have discussed with interpol, local police, embassy officials, Nigerian house representative for diaspora, NDLEA officials, NAFDAc officials, Nigerian police, task forces, charities...and yes ibo are the predominant criminals in Nigeria!

-You cannot change that fact, and if you do I will focus on such a tribe if only for the peace and security of Nigerian travellers.

ibo people are the only people I am told to beware of in any country I have visited, ibo people are the people I see on the streets in Dubai, middle east, thailand, China, Rio, South Africa, peddling drugs and looking for mules to carry for them.

They are also the same people likely to tell wholesalers to supply them fake and contraband goods for the additional profit - I see it all the time. even when the seller insists on the danger the ibo man says that is what he wants!

You have to do a better job to change the stats I beg, this one pass tribalism, it is for the soul of Nigeria before ibo people drag the entire country down with their greed!

Silly rants of a confused hypocrite, whining, weeping and wailing profusely on NL at the mere mention of Biaf... or NK...

Your endless rantings on NL cannot prevent you and your cotravellers from spending the rest of your miserable lives with your Fulani masters in OduaArewanistan republic.

Igbos are comfortable having a separate existence from greedy, treasury looters cum murderous backst*bbers.

shut up jare, speak the truth for once in your life!

170 million Nigerians depend on foreign trade, travel, interactions, global commerce and reputation!
The majority of these global locations treat Nigerians differently due to Nigerian passport holders travelling through their airports with drugs and committing crimes in the streets of those countries.
Now the worst of those crimes are drugs and 419, when researched the majority of the perpetrators are Ibos.
So when these people mention why they despise Nigeria they say drugs and scam, to us Nigerians we know the main perpetrators are Ibos.
Nothing personal but Ibo people are hurting Nigeria locally and internationally more than any other tribe. If you have better evidence than I have show it and I will concentrate on those tribes.
