Covidodo:
Someone is finally hitting the nail on the head .
The nowenuse guy's delusion borders on the pathological .

What is the difference between the Hausa/Fulani he disparages and his tribe? The dude should first tell us his tribe before we take him seriously because the last time I checked Middle belt isn't a tribe .
See this one is talking about tribe. Did Yoruba as a tribe exist before colonial masters? Was Yoruba not a caricature nickname of Oyo people given by Hausas? Mtcheew.

Bro , when I was in UI, I had 2 classmates who were sponsored by one Ahmadu Bello Foundation. The two folks are Northern minorities from Nassarawa and Bauchi .
Aren't you Minority Northern groups enjoying the spill over of the Hausa/Fulani domination of Nigeria ??

Would people like Gowon and TY Danjuma have amounted to anything in Nigeria if not for the magnanimity of the Hausa/Fulani establishment ?
A bloody minority like TY Danjuma owns oil wells in ND. A luxury the owners of the oil doesn't even enjoy.

We should put things into the right perspective .
Yes, we and Hausa fulanis tried to work on a union based on common language and region (which was spearhead by the colonial masters, just like they did for u Yorubas), but this union has proven to be a failure due to religious extremism on the side of the Hausa fulanis.

So, while our marriage lasted, they were benefits on both sides.
In fact, Hausa fulanis benefitted more from us. 90% of the foot soldiers who fought to keep Nigeria one were middlebelt people. I know how many uncles I lost and people within my own town. But at the end of the day, Hausa fulanis betrayed us just like they want to do to you Yorubas with your Tinubu.

Comprenez-vous?

I've been following the guy's narratives on tribal composition of the North . He has told us how Bauchi , Taraba and Adamawa are not Hausa/Fulani land . Are those places different in Socio economic indices from the Muslim Fulani North ?? I don't think so
Bauchi is not Hausa fulani land but they have overrun the place due to religious similarity between them and the indigenes.
However, a part of Southern Bauchi (next door to Plateau) has not and can never be overrun cos they do not share same religion with Hausa fulanis.

So, Bauchi does not have a different socio-economic index from Hausa fulanis, but Adamawa & Taraba have a difference and u can bring the stats for us to compare.

The middle belt also enjoys from the quota system and the absence of merit in our public space .
Bulk of the middle belt state are part of the so called ELDS that has entrenched mediocrity in our admission process in Nigeria .

So , wtf is Middle belt .
How do you plan to carve out a Christian only middle Belt republic in a very heterogeneous zone like the middle belt ??

People like TY Danjuma would rather die than allow folks like the delusional Nowenuse take his feeding bottle from him cheesy
Yes we enjoyed a quota system cos we were in the mudwater of Illiteracy in the past, but we do not need it anymore cos our literacy rate is almost catching up the South's.
Hausa fulanis were the ones who initiated these quota things and not us. Unfortunately it rubbed on us cos we shared same states with them.

The Middlebelt and the core-north will naturally partition itself along religious lines with time. The partition has already begun, but it is slowly. We will soon start to FasTrack it.

Hausa fulanis & Muslims have been evicted from dozens of towns in Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa & Southern Bauchi and heavens did not fall.

Same way Boko Haram have driven away many Christians from Yobe & Borno and they had to flee to Adamawa, Jos & Kaduna.

What do u know about TY Danjuma? Same person who buys weapons for Taraba people to finish the Hausa fulani muslims in their midst? grin
Besides, our people and Nigerdeltans would be on friendly terms if this country divides cos we have everything to loose and gain from each other. If they try to seize TY Danjuma's oilwells, all their houses & investments in Abuja would go down the drain.

Despite having told several times that inflation is not accounted for in the record of Norminal GDP, you keep posting it everywhere.
Nominal GDP is an assessment of economic production in an economy, it measures the value of all finished goods and services produced, in Nigeria GDP services sector accounted for 67%, while agriculture accounted for 22% and industry, 11%, minus Lagos Anambra beat all southwest states, even Kano beat them too, I know it will be hard for you to admit, this is north /west thread just open thread, you most be out of your mind comparing Anambra to Ogun , Abia to Ekiti and Imo to Ondo state.

Olodo

Nominal GDP doesn't account for the cost of production lost to inflation.

Inflation is the general increase in general price level of goods and services.

So take for example if a loaf of bread is sold at N100 in Anambra and sold at N60 in Oyo state. The nominal Gdp does not account for the extra N40 lost to inflation.

And cost of living in Anambra is generally higher than the cost of living in Oyo state because of many factors.

Cost of labour

Cost of housing

Cost of transportation

etc.

Hence, Norminal GDP is not the best measure of economic growth, so true GDP is used after inflation must have been accounted for.

Are the big industries the ones patronizing themselves?

Without the large population of consumers in Lagos, do u think some of these industries would cite their factories in Lagos? Or don't u know that nearness to market is one of the major factors considered in the citing of an industry?

Without the SMEs there would be no large consumer population in Lagos, without the Large consumer population, there would be no much industries in Lagos. As simple as ABC.

@ emboldened is totally wrong

Lagos has its strategic advantage that attract the large industries. It was not because of the large population that industries started moving to Lagos.

The strategic location of lagos as a port city and as the city housing the ports Majority of Nigerian's import and export takes place is the reason why Lagos have a huge industrial base.

It's also important to point out that Ikeja, Sango ota and Sagamu amongst other Original Lagos/Southwest industrial hub were built by Awolowo as those places were initially part of the western region of Nigeria.

In fact one could say that the industrial activities and the potential of commercial nerve centre attracted the a huge population to relocate to Lagos in the 60s, 70s and 80s not the other way round..

So if Nigeria were to split today, Lagos would still continue to be the commercial and industrial hub of any country that Lagos falls under by default.

From the first list.
161 out of 392. 41% of the students had at least one Yoruba name or one Yoruba Muslim name.

This admission was for 2010. I have seen this list before cos a friend of mine got admission this year in this exact last batch (4) and I can see his name here. My senior bro also applied for admission this year, but he got it the next year.

That childhood friend of mine has a Yoruba name but he is actually from Edo state, his mother is Esan and his father is from Akoko-Edo, but I counted him as a Yoruba cos he has a Yoruba name.
So plus or minus margins of error.

So between me and you guys now who was correct? grin. Yoruba students cannot outnumber non-Yorubas in SW private Universities and I stand my ground on that.

You can do the counting for yourself if u don't trust mine, but pls watch the names very well ooo, many Edo, Urhobo & Itsekiri names sound and appear as Yoruba names, if u are not exposed to these names like someone like me who spent most of my life in Delta/Edo, u will count these names as Yoruba names.

You were actually deceived by the first array of Yoruba names starting with letter A ..... But by the time you go to letter C and N where Igbos dominate, u get a knockout grin

Cc Myobjective, Legendhero, Ayekotoo, Goke7, Metaphysical Omonnakoda

And mind you, at the beginning of these Private schools, Yorubas tend to have a higher percentage than they have later on cos the school is in their land and they get to know about it and trust it more. It takes some more time for others to trust the school and get used to it.
My brother got his admission in 2011 and the non Yorubas increased in number than the Yorubas based on my counting. It was a 65-35 during his time.

As of now, I doubt if Yorubas will have 30% compared with non Yorubas in Covenant cos the school is now more popular and many Middlebelt, SS and SE parents are willing to send their wards hundreds of km to Lagos.

Why will he compare Kano with Ibadan in those days? Ibadan that the British themselves termed the best city after cairo in the 1880s is what he is comparing with Kano.

I will try to find that paper where the british termed Ibadan and attach it to this post when I get it. What the bleep is Kano?
He is definitely ignorant and he needs to be enlightened. grin

Kano is a very very big trading center.
Ibadan cannot match the volume of trade in Kano.
Kano has the biggest markets for Jewelleries, Textiles & fabric materials, Livestocks, Foodstuffs, Hides & skins among others in Nigeria.

Kano also has so many industries, but Ibadan will slightly edge it here.

Hausa fulanis are the 2nd most enterprising people in Nigeria after Igbos.

Do u know that Kano had been a cosmopolitan city even before the arrival of colonialists? Do u know the numbers of Arab, Egyptian, Tuareg, Berber and even Persian traders who lived in and visited Kano before colonial rule?

Ibadan only began to shine during colonial rule. So your talk of 1880s is a far lie.
Can u prove it?


I have the book on NORTHERN PROVINCES, TRIBES AND EMIRATES compiled by colonialists in 1910 and you can see the numbers of Arabs and other foreigners in their thousands who lived in Kano by that time.

Make una Yoruba take style dey lie oo!

Although as someone who dislikes Hausa fulanis, I am not interested in hyping anything about them or defending them.
Unfortunately, the mugu Abokkis we have here on nairaland like Naajji & DanArrewa do not even know anything about their so called North. They are empty heads.
Bro, I don't talk without proof and I always like to maintain my integrity.

I have been showing you proof to back all my statements while you have been manufacturing statistics and fabricating facts since yesterday. You have no source to all your claims.

@the bolded, Below is the Ibadan might I was talking about. The colonialist described it as the Most Genuinely African city. They even went as far as acknoledging that Ibadan was build solely by the Yorubas without any colonial influence.

First Picture: The Guardian, 16 Aug 1893. They described Ibadan as the "London of Negroland" Do you hear that?

Second Picture: The Guardian, 20 Jan 1913. They described Lagos as Bombay of Africa and went further to talk about great native cities scattered about in Western Nigeria (Ibadan are part of those cities).

Third Picture: New York Times, 25 Dec 1970. Ibadan was described as the Most Genuinely African city built by the Yorubas without colonial influence. They went to say it distinguished itself from other African countries that was majorly planned by the colonialists.

Where the bleep is Kano in all this?

I am still looking for the last journal of 1870 in my archive. When I see that, I will post that too.

Debt means nothing. USA is part of the most indebted nation in the world and that does not stop their shine.

You can only get loan with good standing and the SW has more credit worthiness than any other region. It is only in Nigeria that we see debt as a curse. Those money you get to build infrastructures today will yield benefit for you in the future. The only problem is whether the government are using it for the right thing or not.

Lagos and Rivers revenue alone is enough to convince lenders which explained why you see most oil producing states having more debt. Just go to the bank today without meaningful status and say you want to borrow 5billion Naira, and see if you won't be bundled out like a comedian!

There are some pages on that list without 1 single Yoruba name grin

Barbilius:
Shifting goal post as usual. You said 70%,according to your counting, u said 41%had Yoruba names or something to do with Yorubas, how does that equate to the 70% you earlier claimedhuh
I have different figures. The last comment I made, I said the school should be 35% Yoruba, 35% Igbo, 20% SS and 10% Middlebelt/Northern christians. That makes 65-35. Check the 2nd list and u will know that I was correct.
Don't be deceived by the letter A Yoruba names that dominate the first pages of the list cos letter A is the only alphabet with Yoruba domination, by the time u get to letter C & N, u will hardly see a Yoruba name.

Abeg, Yoruba people make una go sleep nonsense.

Even if the school was 50% non Yoruba, do you know what it means for a school to loose half of it's students? Will that school not crash?
This also the same reflection all through Yoruba churches. More than half of the members are non Yorubas.

You people should really pray that Nigeria divides on Friendly terms, if not so many money making institutions in Yorubaland will die a natural death.

These are the reasons why I tell my own people that we must work together with Igbos & Nigerdeltans.
If Nigeria must divide, the 3 of us must go together and have at least a sort of Confederacy like the UK where everyone controls his/her resources and nation. We have everything to gain from each other and everything to loose from each other. But u pompous Yorubas thinking u don't need anyone because your settlers dominated Lagos and Private institutions dey catch una, body go tell una when the country divide.

Debt means nothing. USA is part of the most indebted nation in the world and that does not stop their shine.

You can only get loan with good standing and the SW has more credit worthiness than any other region. It is only in Nigeria that we see debt as a curse. Those money you get to build infrastructures today will yield benefit for you in the future. The only problem is whether the government are using it for the right thing or not.

Lagos and Rivers revenue alone is enough to convince lenders which explained why you see most oil producing states having more debt. Just go to the bank today without meaningful status and say you want to borrow 5billion Naira, and see if you won't be bundled out like a comedian!
Debts means nothing but during recession all western states minus Lagos were bankrupt, they couldn't pay workers salaries, it means they can't sustain themselves without oil money

And who the hell is afraid of Nigeria division?? Good riddance. We have dared noisemakers over and over again.. No one cares, nothing, absolutely nothing will happen to those schools. If they were so competent, they could have established such in their own regions. Bullcrap!!!!
