Yorubas are smarter. We do smart work. Igbos do HARD WORK for less.

The Yoruba thread showcased our achievements clearly... cool
Always for mouth. Yet nothing to show. No wonder IBB said when he hears yolobas are calling for war he will just go to sleep grin

Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence?

Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled “Dwindling Oil Revenue: What Next for Nigeria?” posited that today, despite the pitiful state of unemployment in Nigeria, ironically, the nation is still rated as the third destination of investors and one of the fastest-growing economy in the world. Raji noted that Nigeria is a golden land of numerous opportunities for those who are resourceful, ingenious, creative, innovative, inventive, groundbreaking, enterprising, hardworking, focused, visionary and, most significantly, disciplined.

Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today.

I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth.

The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities.

The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos.

More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas.

Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners.

The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops.

Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths.

Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity.

I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease.

Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively.

In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013.

The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D’Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself.

Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.

Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son’s expected defeat. Victorious Buhari’s teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman.

In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.

Below in what? If they ask you now you will go and find an article that placed Achebe on top of Soyinka and use that as your “far above”.

Just like saying Salah is better than Ronaldo because he got the golden boot. Does that even make sense to you.

Wole Soyinka the only black man with a Nobel laureate other than the peace price. Come back here when any Igbo man dead or alive achieve that feat and stop disturbing us with jargons online.

Chinua Achebe is the greatest African author of all time.

Achebe was the author of the first African novel to be taken seriously by anglophone critics and to be influential outside Africa; and thus to demonstrate to his contemporaries that the thing could be done. That's no mean achievement in itself, and worth any number of prizes. African literature does not need the Nobel prize to be validated. Moreover, there were numerous arguments that Achebe was denied a Nobel during his lifetime because of his anticolonialist stance but that's story for another day.

That Ronaldo and Messi won many ballond'or doesn't make them greater than Pele that never won in the same vein that Wole Soyinka won the Nobel prize doesn't make him greater than Chinua Achebe.

You are just full of mouths like Ojukwu that said Biafra had the best army in Africa.

Yorubas are lazy.

The top 5 richest male and female in Nigeria featured prominent Yorubas.

The Forbes under 30 richest entrepreneurs are dominated by Yorubas.

The IT sectors in Nigeria are dominated by Yorubas.

The industrial mainstay of Nigeria is in Ogun state bar Lagos.

The Insurance, banking, telecommunications, education institution are dominated by Yoruba players.

Every time they talk about richest, they bring up Adenugas, Alakijas. Those are not who you are supposed to be talking about. An average Igbo man hustles far more than an average Yoruba man. Majority of yorubas do white collar jobs, those that receive salaries are comfortable and not multimillionaires. You can't compare them to their Igbo counterparts who are majorly businessmen. You don't rate them because you see them in small shops but majority of those guys are multi-millionaires with assets that will surprise you. Many make your monthly salaries in a few hours.Most Igbo businessmen don't show off their wealth for fear of government clampdown that is why many are not rated by Forbes. If you don't know Forbes is by choice, you need to open up to them before they can rate you. Igbo people buy properties everywhere in Nigeria even in your Lagos, they own many properties.

On the average, Igbos are richer than yorubas.

Don't mind those hypocrites, Igbos are the most greedy of the tribes in Nigeria, they always want what doesn't belongs to them.

During the Obasanjo regime, my dad always criticise Obasanjo government for giving igbos too much power, he always emphasises the hatred Igbos have for Yoruba from the first republic to the third republic, I never believe in his assertion until I started meeting with them.

We the younger Yoruba generation are very nationalistic in our outlook towards life, we will start chasing Igbos out of the southwest, we will revoke all the certificate of occupancy we gave them, we will not seed them an inch if our land starting from 2023.

For the Igbos to continue to live and do business in south west thy mustn't be seen to be against our interest

You guys problem is that you’re under the fixation that everybody is in competition with you and you just boast over irrelevances.

An IT professional alone that is successful can generate millions of dollars in revenue in a short time, something a retailer might not be able to generate in their lifetime.

Look at all those Lace, ankara, and Aso Ebi market, do you know how much all those people generate? You’re just an example of empty vessels make the loudest noise.

The Yorubas practice a highly diversified economy, we have IT- Traders - industries- entrepreneurs- professionals -entertainers, etc. it’s not a must for everybody in a tribe to become traders coz that even showed your sub-level reasoning faculty.

Don't mind those hypocrites, Igbos are the most greedy of the tribes in Nigeria, they always want what doesn't belongs to them.

During the Obasanjo regime, my dad always criticise Obasanjo government for giving igbos too much power, he always emphasises the hatred Igbos have for Yoruba from the first republic to the third republic, I never believe in his assertion until I started meeting with them.

We the younger Yoruba generation are very nationalistic in our outlook towards life, we will start chasing Igbos out of the southwest, we will revoke all the certificate of occupancy we gave them, we will not seed them an inch if our land starting from 2023.

For the Igbos to continue to live and do business in south west thy mustn't be seen to be against our interest
I hope u are not including Lagos as yolobaland. Because the last i check, the Oba said lagos does not belong to yoloba!!!
