Stop deluding yourself. You know it isn't just about the "rusted roofs"

The place is a huge slum being hidden and labelled "Biggest city in Africa"
We knew it's not a city but an eyesore, lack of toilets and sanitation facilities etc, but kept quiet not to ruffle any feathers

Ibadan is the same exact Nigerian version of Kibera. Even Kibera is better planned and less a slum than Ibadan.

Yet, it is the place that insults other parts of the country as villages. So people exposed it for what it truly is.

I write this thread with contrition as i am guilty of what i seek to dissuade others from doing. Following a spate of scathing attacks on the yoruba Nation by igbo youths online, i think it is time to throw in the towel and beat a tactical retreat. The needless d!ck measuring which saw youths of both tribes posting pictures of infrastructural development wherein the igbos were admirably able to put up a good show has brought to the fore the futility in arguing with the igbos over anything politics or development. Moreso, i find arguments with igbos on the vexed issue of Lagos as an anathema which should henceforth be desisted from. I propose a mechanism whereby the Yorubas would adopt the Modus Operandi of the Hausa - Fulani which has seen them refrain from the vitriolic and hate filled rhetoric that characterizes e-wars which we Southerners so much relish. Yoruba Youths should endeavor to unite and forge common goals which would see to the protection of Yoruba Interests in Nigeria. If we switch off internet wars with the igbos over Lagos, we would leave our igbo enemies confused as to our plans thereby ensuring victory in the long run.


It is apposite that i state at this juncture that the Igbos can never be defeated in Internet war because they are propelled by a deep sense of grief and hate for the Yoruba over their loss of the civil war and their displacement from the table where decisions are being taken in Nigeria. For the igbos, the e-wars are real and they take it more seriously. We yorubas take the whole thing with levity. We are naive of the deep seated animosity with which we are being faced with by our igbo neighbours hence, we are always bound to lose any internet war. It is therefore time to completely black out of internet wars with any igbo person on the politics of Nigeria. We are not built with the hate of the average igbo and we should always have that at the back of our minds when we waste valuable man hours arguing with an average igbo who has a force propelling him/her. My proposition inevitably means we would/should concede defeat when we sense that the igbos want to instigate an e-war in every thread. We must also agree that they are the richest tribe in Nigeria. We must in essence avoid them like a plague online while we strategise and internalise whatever our true feelings are about whatever lies being peddled by the Igbo. All omoluabi are urged to please adopt this recommendation as we cannot to waste our time engaging with a people that cannot be placated. Glorious yoruba youths must turn to hardwork and perseverance to protect further the interest of the race in Nigeria. Victories in needless internet wars count for nothing in real life. We as yorubas know who we are and what we are capable of as a people in Nigeria. We must not give in to the impulses of insecurity which demands that we win internet wars with the Igbos.

LET US ACCEPT THAT THE IGBOS HAVE WON THE WAR SO WE MAY HAVE PEACE ON OUR DIGITAL SPACE. ENOUGH OF THE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE IGBOS.

Oodua a gbewa ooooo. Ase!

Selah.

NB: Kindly ignore any comment that seeks to forment tribal e-war

see this one correcting me when you don't even know the name of the area. It's j Allen not G Allen you don't know ibadan

ValUlasi:
your attention is needed here to clarify few things.

Jaideyone:
not interested. You argue blindly. I'd rather engage someone more intelligent

this op is not ashamed to celebrate mediocrity, what a show of shame..so backwardness is a thing to be celebrated..

Your ancestors were living in huts scattered in the rain forest of iboland when these cities were already populated by civilized Yorubas. There's no competition at all. Ekenedilili Chukwu will still bring ibos to live under these brown roofs tomorrow.

SouthEastFacts:
Does it mean your civilization doesn't grow?

Yorubas can't compete outside Yorubaland. Igbos are not only competing, but electing members into their House of Assembly. They started as Special Assistants, then Commissioners, now Honorable Members, tomorrow Deputy Governor and next Governor.

While Igbos are strategically positioned to produce Governors in SW, in 100 years, SW can't replicate that in the SE. Never! This is real sophistication, not those found on pages of free social media.

They are afraid of traveling because they can't compete outside Yoruba. It is even difficult for them to hold down Lagos to themselves talk more of outside Yoruba. They only Yorubas I know in the SE are tailors in Anambra and beggars in Azikiwe Road, Aba, opposite the Yoruba mosque and Christ the King Catholic Church. There are more of these beggars than Al majiris. The irony is that they hate Christians but begs in front of the biggest church in Aba. In spite of defacing that area, the love of Christ couldn't allow the church authorities to chase them away.

The Hausas are trying more than the SW, with legitimate businesses. Dealing in Agro products and large shops selling textile materials, some are into Keke taxi business in Awka, Anambra.

Op, if you are talking about civilization, the Hausa/Fulanis boasts of the highest pre-colonial civilization. Yoruba pre-colonial civilization are learning where theirs are. Evidences of those civilization are still among us to see.

Alcatraz005:
I thought you had listened to me since yesterday? Stop arguing with igbos online. You would get tired.

Guestlander:
Lol, I listened to you my friend but these retards obviously don't know when to stop.

Guestlander:
If our civilization doesn't grow we wouldn't have more than 60% of the nation's economy while you scrounge at the bottom of the pile.
Going by your biotic logic if your region is so developed why can't you stay there? Why do you run in millions to the less developed region? I'm sure you know this will only make sense to people like you who naturally view everything from the upside down.

Let's talk about precolonial civilization if you want to go there. You can find the evidence in the quality of Yoruba works of art which is rivalled only by the Benins in the whole of Africa. Our natural rivals are by far not ibos.

SouthEastFacts:
You control 60% of Nigerian economy? Meaning you control Nigerian oil resources, because Nigerian economy is an oil based one.
How many foreign reserve does SW contribute to our economy?
Sharing poverty through high tax rate which results to high IGR is never a measure of high economic activity.
How many product has SW successfully exported outside this country?
We all know the highest employer of labour in this country is the North. With an adequate tax system in place, though operating in the informal sector, North can produce higher IGR than SW.
If you are looking at Lagos when you said that, sorry, Lagos is not a Yoruba land. There are Igbo, Hausa and ND companies all littered in Lagos.

Yoruba art doesn't even come close to Bini art. So Bini are not rivaling the Yorubas. If you are talking about Ife art, we still have our own Igbo Ukwu Art which is the only art work rivaling Bini art.

Carbon dating shows Igbo Ukwu art to originate around the 9th century, making it the earliest known work of art in the entire country. Before Yorubas know what a bronze is, the Igbos had only casted successfully their first bronze art about 300 years ago.

With or without art, the Hausas boast of the best civilisation in pre-colonial era.

Markfemi:
all you typed now is fantasy and fantas y

no one knows about ibo pre nigeria


sw taxes cause its people have funds
you have resorted to demonizing tax loool

secondly no culture in west africa is as popular as yoruba culture

Guestlander:
This is the problem when you try to argue with people who doesn't know too much. Oil constitute the major foreign exchange earner for the country but that is not where the economy ends.

If you want to deceive yourself by saying Lagos is not Yorubaland you are free to do so, but please keep me informed when the economic indices are out and Lagos is excluded from the South West.

I never tried to compare Yoruba art with Benin art because both are top notch classics, I was merely pointing out that Your ancestors were busy hunting each other for food with cutlasses when Yoruba and Benin were producing these masterpieces.

You had no worthwhile history or cities or civil organization before the white man, how then are we equal in development?
The first primer for ibo language was written by a Yoruba man, likewise your bible.
A beg, go siddon for potopoto o jare.

computerwiz2:
I asked this question as an omoluabi to the ibos. We must not allow ibos take away our pride and the only evidence to show that we saw civilisation before them.

computerwiz2:
How many yorubas are in your region and how many ibos are in yoruba region?

agulion:
. How many Yorubas are in London and how many British are in Yoruba brown roof region

Xway:
It shows backwardness, laziness, illiteracy.
In this Morden time ,there is massive production of modern zinc or roof top that will aid and beautify ur environment.
It's not because the inhabitants of such deprolable house don't like new things it's is because brown roof aid them through out there operation of harvesting human skull.
In south east such roof have been remove since replace with good and admirable roof tops.

I love the hospitality nature of my igbo people.
