yeah
am using Lagos as a focal point
and any true sample test conducted should have Lagos as a well spread center
An average northerner is more hardworking dan a westerner
As for Lagos, Igbos dominate in those handiworks u mentioned
d same way Yorubas dominate Taxi driving in PH

No you are using your village as yardstick not Lagos

There's no where in lagos with more Igbo artisans than Yoruba artisans.

Granted! the Hausas(Northerners) are used to do hard labour across Nigeria because they don't often have the skills to do semi skilled labour, but that doesn't mean they contribute to Nigerian economy than an average Yoruba artisan.

Stop using your village as a yardstick for Nigeria. It's quite remote.

Odkosh:
Bros, as a westerner, we accept the challenge. All the north together against southwest. Let them come forward.

Kindly remove Lagos and the North will trump you.

FACT

Seerade029:
Remove Lagos, none of your south east states can beat south west.

Ogun will trash your an.nambra
Oyo will trash Enugu
Ondo WI trash imo
Osun will trash Ebonyi
Ekiti will trash abia..

Ogun trash wetin coz of few buildings in Agbara.....Lol.....una no dey shame to write sometimes..

Ekiti trash Abia....worst thing I just read on history of mankind......Ekiti or the one we know the index and her villages?

Oyo anybody is hearing is just Ibadan...avoid propaganda... anything aside Ibadan are just thick unprintable villages....


Mr you really need to go and sleep and handover your certificate back to who owns it.

We have Yoruba, some of whom are in the North, we have Hausa who engage in different occupations from Fulani. We have Tiv,Igala, Nupe,Juku,Kanuri, Igala. What the hell is average Northerner
The Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi are among the most educated in the North

Donkeys are more hardworking than humans perhaps ?

Economic output is about brains

Hardwork is not about muscle

There is nothing like northerner or Westerner

zionmde:
oga Lagos state is a true representation of all south western state
I have been to all d western states though. And in all of dem, d major hardworks are done by northerners

And what are the major hardworks you're talking about

List them..
I'm not arguing with you that Hausa people are not lazy.

I think I stated in my first post dat it's not about working hard but working smart
Hausas are more hardworking but yorubas are smarter

The Igala are very different from Hausa
The Idoma are very different from Fulani

Stop this Northerner bullshit

zionmde:
We can take a stroll to computer village in Lagos (because I don't know where u are) Wen d lockdown is over

Like I told you earlier, you don't know jack

About 70% of those repairing phones in Lagos as whole are Yorubas, the only place you will see a significant number of igbos is computer village for obvious reasons.

Even in computer village, there are significant number of Yorubas repairing phones..

Yes, what are the indices you wanna use.

Buh, OP says we derail the thread.
We will open the thread another day.

most agricultural products come from the middle belt region not Hausa Fulani north.

take note

What exactly are you saying again?

And I said can we meet up soon, maybe on a weekend, get to computer village and take a sample study?
@ bolded I am not arguing dat
d only thing I said and maintain is dat Northerners are more hardworking as for contribution to d economy, I wonder wat exactly the artisans u mentioned earlier contribute

kettykings:
The percapita you are talking about is basically majorly from Lagos ,Lagos has expatriate quota , igbo ,Niger delta contribution even northern companies like Bua and Dangote boost Lagos contribution please stick to the objectives of the discuss .

forget all this GDP figures from yemi kale, pleassuch?a te the contribution in practical terms

Always showing your illiteracy everywhere you go.

It is elementary economics that one should be able to differentiate between GDP and GNP. One is a Gross domestic product which is the total value of goods and services produced in a particular country or state per annum without considering the nationality of those taking part in the production while Gross national product is the Gross National production which is the monetary value of all goods and services produced by the nationals of a country irrespective of their place of residence. From this definition, it is clear that the Lagos and southwest GDP figure belongs to the region no matter the nationality or the ethnicity of those involved in such economic activities.

Secondly, it is always a point of pride for a country, state or geographical location to be able to attract investor both locally and internationally. Ability to attract investment shows that such a state is doing well. If it easy, why didn't your village in poto republic attract such?

First Define hardworking
You are not making sense
A doctor is not a bricklayer

A doctor can only be hardworking in his work as a doctor
You compare how hardworking he is against other doctors not against soldiers

To say say a Hausa doctor is more hardworking than a Yoruba doctor is the comparison required
How can we measure that
We cannot say a footballer is more hardworking than a boxer there is no basis for comparison

zionmde:

They all relay and depends on lagos , just as a lord lard waiting for rent from his tenants !

Iamgrey5:
Bro when I was even in Abia state I saw Yoruba welders and mechanic

Every knows that while igbo men prefer to learn a trade, Yoruba men prefer to go the artisan route. I.e. Welder, phone repair, computer repair, brick layer etc.

Don't listen to the slowpoke..

Yorubas are not known for phone repair, computer repair rather is dominated by Igbos, the area Yorubas are dominating in Lagos are in ICT related, website design, Graphic design,software development and also school teaching, exam preparation, cyber cafe etc, less educated ones are into transport sector and agbero

You're talking nonsense Ogbeni...

The hard work they are doing are
Digging gutters
Pushing food items in wheelbarrow
Shoe repairer
Mai shai
Driving trucks.


You don't know Jack in SW.

Is Lagos the only state in SW??

Yorubas are generally know in the field of artisan..

While Igbos are known in trading

Oh God

So you have no idea that what makes up an economy is the GDP which consists of services and goods.

Do you understand that without the artisans, Nigeria would have had to import foreign workers to do those works which will reduce from our GDP.

I was thinking I was arguing with someone that understands the basic concept of economics.

And working hard does not make the northerners contribute more than us, does it?

Northerners are more hardworking than South westerners. Let’s tell ourselves the truth.

Relating it to low income earners. For middle income earners,Yorubas are far more educated and cannot be compared to northerners.

•Reaction to ‘The North has already destroyed itself (2)’

By Sanusi Maiwada

I do not support President Buhari’s government policy of political exclusion. It is grossly unfair to treat the South-East of Nigeria as an outcast. It would have been a game changer if the President had embraced the region like others despite not voting for him in 2015. The opposition against his re-election from the region in 2019 would not have been as fierce. But with his insensitive attitude to the region, the people are right to continue to oppose him. I sincerely hope that a redress will be made to bring everyone on board. It is not too late.

I don't think this part is truly from the depth of the writer's heart.

The North is known for divide and rule. They know how to dribble Igbos and Yoruba's.
Each time they are bashing the South East (for instance) they wittingly draw the South West closer and vice versa.

Today, this Hausa Fulani writer is bashing the Yorubas . Suddenly, he feels sympathy for the manner Buhari
is treating Igbos. Tomorrow the reverse will be the case.
