Agriculture and trade contribute higher percentage of GDP than ICT, banking even manufacturing
A PhD holder in the north can be a farmer. A PhD holder in the East can be a trader. That you love cooperate job doesn't make you more educated. Neither does the cooperate sector have higher contribution to the economy (I mean GDP not IGR)

And you think there are no Yoruba in those sectors too ?

What make you so sure you are more than Yoruba in those sectors ?

You don't get my point, my point is that all those education statistics where Yoruba were behind should be affecting Yoruba performance in some key sectors that education matters and even put us behind Igbo and other tribes and be very obvious like it affect the north but it isn't. That's what i'm saying .

igwebuike01:
Top tertiary institutions doesn't mean you are doing better in education. Data from NYSC shows SE states topping by wide margin in terms of number of graduates by states of origin.
With increase in school fees the yoruba average family will drop out as there is more Awolowo free education, but the igbo "2x2" shop owner will send his children to SW universities

I will like to see that NYSC data.

We may not be doing better in education but it sure is enough to sustain south west development.

Celebrating percentages but not getting more jobs and Development than Yoruba is all pointless.

The point is to make tangible development and develop things and as long as we are progressing in that it is more than enough.

Anambra1stSon2:
Keep fooling yourself all human development index clearly shows you people are doing badly

Doing badly where lol ?

Reality says otherwise, ok for research just quickly go on the internet and search for anything in ICT and Fintech. Don't underrate those sectors every sensible country invests heavily in them because they are the potential of any country to boost economy and investment, it contributed heavily to how America have the top economy in the world today and Yoruba dominate that sector, what flutter wave and paystack generated for Nigeria last year quadruple what entire south east generated. Do you think it is possible for Yoruba to thrive in that with weak education ?

Even every day many Yoruba continue to be CEO of top companies and keep getting top jobs more than northerners with more population and on top of that most of the leading tertiary institutions in Nigeria are in Yoruba land who do you think make most of the population of students in those institutions ?

You can keep parading useless percentages reality says otherwise. Yoruba need improvement but it's not as bad as you portray or worse than other region.

Anambra1stSon2:
Go to streets of Southwest and see what's happening keep living in denial

All those Igbo hawkers in the west are they counted with Igbo figures?

Keep parading those useless percentages and don't go after what matters.

A key sector like ICT and Fintech that have to do with the economy and financial potential and future civilization is in the hands of Yoruba and many Igbo don't see any problems in that, you will realize in the next 10 years

Tertiary Institutions in Yoruba land dominate top 10 institutions in Nigeria and you don't see any problems in that whenever the list come out every year, you will know in the next 10 years.

[quote author=Anambra1stSon2 post=126842933][/quote]That was 2018 and since then south west have been dominating key sectors in Nigeria and being the power house of Nigeria economically that's what matter.

America have a very high drug use rate but it doesn't stop them from dominating the world economically and technologically.

Keep parading those useless percentages and don't go after what matters.

Anambra1stSon2:
Igbos are even leading even in Lagos, go to streets in Lagos when others are going to schools and businesses you will see your people early morning smoking and drinking satchet dry gin, forming omoile and Agberos

Having a few ruffians doesn't mean all Yoruba are like that even USA have a lot of Americans that are ruffians and uneducated, it doesn't stop them from dominating the world economically and technologically.

Igbo leading in your delusional mind Yoruba Agbero doesn't stop south west from dominating ICT in Nigeria and being the face of ICT.

Nigerian women CEO of Banks and companies, you will see Yoruba dominating , what about Nigerian men CEO of banks and companies ? Yoruba.

As long as Yoruba keep getting top corporate jobs and dominate key sectors like ICT and fintechs and remain the powerhouse economically , you are deluding yourselves with those percentages.

Top institutions in Nigeria have been in the south west for decades and it will remain like that for the forseeable future.

Did you see the recent list of estate owners in Lagos ? Yoruba dominate from top to bottom all your people does is make noise.

Anambra1stSon2:

Well you know i'm saying the truth

Real numbers of those that completed schools in Lagos and Anambra, no state in the East would be close, same as that WAEC stuff but you will have advantage when it come to percentage to population ratio like this.

ablejesus26:
Lolll up Anambra but hey IMO still remains the most Educated State in Nigeria

Beating Lagos State to the 1st position for 6years back to back

Up Igbo anytime anyday

https://firstclassnigeria.com/the-most-educated-states-in-nigeria/

The population factor will always give Lagos disadvantages when it come to percentages like this.

If you use real figures no state in the East can come close to Lagos state.

igwebuike01:
Old western region? A socialist welfarist society? Why didn't their lead last despite setback by the war on the East? We will never copy their socialist "progressive agenda". Our capitalists nature has prepared us for the future

You are getting too ahead of yourselves because of statistics that might just be propaganda. It doesn't really put you ahead of the west at anywhere.

As of now south west is still better economically than any region in Nigeria, in fact those percentages are nothing more than just mere numbers that are probably inaccurate, it doesn't put you ahead of the west when it come to getting top corporates or ICT jobs in Nigeria.


It is a popular fact that South west dominate ICT in Nigeria and check the CEO of popular Companies and Industries, males and females either finance or manufacturing you will always see Yoruba dominating.

Even top tertiary institutions in Nigeria are in the West and it has been like that for decades until you can truncate Yoruba in those aspects you are just deluding yourselves with those figures.

Anambra1stSon2:
This is leading state in education today
According to UNICEF MICS, Stati just published their findings

Even if it was mics it would be propaganda from Ibadan express way if it didn't favor you.

I thought you guys said Stati sense statistics is fake and Propaganda because a Yoruba man is in charge, what changed lol?


is it now credible when it favour you ?

charleskl:
Okay Sir....I just hope u don't learn the hard way

Christians have been learning the hard way since ages.

Most Christians suffer through out life and expect reward after death, Christianity is just a dealth cult always preaching doom and fear.

And what is the reward ? just singing and praising one narcissistic entity for eternity is that not eternal slavery and punishment ? what's the fun in that ? i did rather rest in peace eternally with no awakening

Most of you are going to be so disappointed that you have been deceived by slave masters all your lives, those Islamic fanatics that terrorise the world also have deep belief like you people , expecting 72 virgins after death lol.

The most ironic thing is you delusional people think your religion is the better one and the real deal lol

gammarays:
We love how Agbado Ronus backed Buhari and Tinubu is dealing with Nigeria 😂😂
To the extent even Ronus are suffering mostly.
Na Dem turn Rice bandits, fought at fuel queue, beat madam commissioner and others

You guys should continue hitting the ground running so you can turn to paupers.

Igbos will buy your ancestral lands and send you to the hinterlands where you'll continue to fume and be jealous of us

Only the few real Omoluabis can relate well with Igbos because Eagles flock together. The other vultures can continue with their self inflated stupidity.

Keep wailing and beating your chest as if you are also not feeling the heat.

Every time you brag about buying land in the west you continuously remind us of how barren south east is.

2 churches around my street lost 2 fervent members to illness last week.

One literally collapsed and died in church premises and one died of asthma that could have easily be treated if he went to the hospital in time but he decided to wait for miracle at church, so delusional.

And your imaginary god only watched people masturbate while all these happened, he couldn't do anything to help them because he's fake.

Your god is so omnipotent and powerful but need people to continuously bark like a dog to him before he can listen to them, most Christians believe god have a plan for everything if he have a plan then why are you guys even praying in the first place ? Just leave your all powerful god to do his things you don't need to remind him and bark to him through out your life because he is omnipotent and omniscient and should already know what you need.

Christianity one of the most delusional, hypocritical and contradictory religions.

Beverlyjean:
After what they did in the last election... those niggers are backstabbing tribalists , unrepentant tribalists ...better avoid them like a plague or risk regrets all ur life ..... they are no go to anything union with another tribe ... ur parents know what they are saying .... Benue ,kogi ,delta ,calabar , igbo, taraba.... but not yoruba.... chioma lost ifeanyi because of that same tribe of wickedness and envy ... better leave them to marry themselves

Bitter Igbo woman

Your lamentation is music to our ears

Tinubu victory really put a whole tribe in pain and perpetual agony.

We will save the receipts of all these online insult till 2027 when you need our votes again and continue to flog your flatskull.

These miscreants are still very bitter about the election

You will continue to labor in vain

I won't advise the girl to marry into such a tribalistic family the union won't last even if they agree.

So if you don't marry her does that mean the girl will die a single? she will find a good Yoruba man to marry if she is a good girl like you describe, it is going to be your lose.

Omobude244:
I am from Edo state(Benin City) but based in Lagos with my family. I met this sweet Yoruba angel during the festive period in December 2020, we fell in love and ever since it has been from one sweet level to the other (although we have had misunderstanding sometimes but we usually settle immediately). she is nice, respectful both to my parents and siblings. I planned to engage her at our third year relationship anniversary which is supposed to be December this year, and the both of us have been talking of settling down by mid 2024.

The issue now is that since the past election, my parents have been advising me against continuing with the relationship. The girl that was once the talk of the family, suddenly everyone has developed a cold feet towards her. Even if they have been trying to hide it whenever she is around, she has started noticing it and have been asking me questions. What even angered my parents the more was how GRV (Gbadebo Rode Vivor) was treated by most Yorubas simply because his mother is Igbo even when the father is Yoruba. My parents are saying since I have interest in politics, I should go and get an Edo girl to marry. But I have always maintained that I wont marry from my tribe and they said if I dont want an Edo girl, I can go and get a lady from anywhere in the SS that they dont want a yoruba as a daughter inlaw.

I am confused right now. I love this girl and dont want to leave her, at the same time I dont want to disobey my parents. This girl even supported and voted GRV. I have tried to plead with them and even sent one of my uncle to go help me talk to them, they are still insisting that if I go ahead with my plans, then I should count them out of my marriage.

Please kindly advise on what I should do at this moment.

COPIED

it is an unfortunate incident if the girl married into your tribalistic family.

You are doing the girl a favor if you let her go

Monsignor22:
They've been peddling this same bizarre narrative all over twitter that Igbo women are obsessed with Yoruba men and prefer them to Igbo men, thankfully so many Igbo women including popular social media influencers politely but vehemently debunked the nonsense and made it clear they will always choose their Igbo men FIRST before settling for any ethnic group. For yoruba men, dating/marrying an Igbo woman is almost a fetish, like a psychological conquest for them...very strange mannerism.

Statistically 90% of Igbo women are married to Igbo men, infact the NEXT most common index of inter-tribal marriages when Igbo women choose to marry outside the culture are to South South men (especially Delta, Edo and parts of Rivers state). The tiny percentage that marry yoruba men are predominantly the ones born and raised in Lagos and have mingled more with yorubas more often than not, it's practically unheard or extremely rare that a core Igbo woman raised from the soil of Alaigbo will settle for yoruba, if she marries out then it's a man from a neighboring South South region.

Igbo men barely marry yoruba women, they are just bottom of the desirability index in Nigeria. After Igbo women our next preferences are Ibibio/Efik women, so many Ibibio/Calabar women are married to Igbo men. Then after South South women we tend to marry mostly foreigners like Caucasian women, Asian women, and in Africa South African, Kenyan, Cameroonian and Ugandan women in that order. There's even a Kenyan and South African page on Facebook where women from those countries specially discuss their marriages to Igbo men, South African women in particular probably have the highest number of children to Igbo guys who live there, a situation that has always caused serious problems between them and their men who accuse Nigerians of taking their women.

Yoruba women are also not interested in Igbo men in fact Igbo men are at the bottom of desirability index in Nigeria.

Have you ever seen any Yoruba women crying about rejection from Igbo or wailing about it online ? it's usually you guys crying and wailing about not taking Yoruba women as if they are interested in you in the first place lol.

emmanuelbrown26:
U are just mentioning celebrities, chaiiii so that what u could bring out?
Why is it that any handsome dude in Yoruba land is refer as igbo
Any beautiful lady is igbo
Any fair person is igbo
Anybody with swag is igbo. Even during election same ting played out

are the people i listed not Yoruba ?

all those bullshits you listed only occur in your delusional mind

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

proeast:
Lol, his ignorance is undiluted. It's extremely difficult to see any Igbo woman that will want to marry a Yoruba man. Except such Yoruba man is a celebrity like Davido or wealthy. Igbo women consider Yoruba men only when their chances of getting Igbo men are very low. Especially, when it is due to certain traditional reasons which I won't mention here.

However, on the contrary, Yoruba men who succeed in marrying Igbo women see it as a great achievement.

These are facts no one would argue except ignorant ones.

Most of you guys are delusional with false sense of importance lol

i doubt you have ever live in the West, there's no Yoruba family that would heard about their son or daughter getting married to an Igbo but not think twice about it and even oppose the idea but you see most Yoruba wealthy families are more liberal and educated and they tend to be more open to the idea of intertribal marriage, that's what is giving you the false idea that's well accepted in the west.

Well let me tell you most Yoruba don't think shit of Igbo talkless of putting any significance in marriage with them in fact they just rate you hardly better than Aboki, abi have you ever heard of any igbo getting special privileges in the west because they are Igbo either men or women ?

Yoruba are very narcissistic in the west, in fact most Yoruba believe they are the real Nigerians and don't put other geopolitical zones in their eyes, reason why most Yoruba hardly have any knowledge about other zones or rarely leave south west.

Your people are all over south west and still troop in every day so there's no way there wouldn't be one or two inter marriages, the question you should be asking is how many Yoruba men are in the East to hunt for wife?

You guys hate Yoruba calling you "omo igbo" well that name is becoming derogatory in the west these days. Some Yoruba may admire some Igbo people ability to handle business and hustle same way you will see some Yoruba admiring northerners or hausa people for their simple lifestyles and hardwork, some will even call them honest and trust worthy, it's not more than that or to the extent they give 2 shits about marriage with Igbo women.

Bendeco2020:
No woman from any tribe can see yoruba men as more capable.

Is it their talkertiv nature or stature?

The last time I checked, women are attracted to masculine men and Igbo men are more masculine in nature than skinny and obese yoruba men

What make Igbo men masculine lol

Is it their short, round with pot belly stature and funny accents?


Look at Isreal Adesanya, Anthony Joshua , Odunlade Adekola , Bolanle Ninalowo, Femi Adebayo , even Sheegz from bb naija etc those are tall and handsome masculine men and they are all Yoruba.

Igbo men are mostly short and round with funny accents.

We will save all this as receipts for 2027

garriAndsugar:
Hope when they misbehave you will caution them because I noticed you yorubas support anything from Yoruba even if it's a goat

And you goat are always happy about any negative news about the country even at this good news you goats are still very bitter

frozen70:
You just commented like a fool

A Yoruba woman must have snatched your boyfriend.

Bitter Igbo girl

frozen70:
Thank you for this input, am sure you have already paid your dues in marriage that's why you are experiencing peace with your Igbo wife

Yes they hustle and support their husband's unlike the Yoruba women that hardly supports their husband because they know that he may have another secret wife else where

How many Yoruba women do you know ?
You people generalize like a fool

by The Unknown Don

A few days ago I turned 40 and tonight I was just thinking about past relationships... the things that went right, the things that went wrong, and the outright disasters.

A little background. I'm a reasonably well-off, college-educated white male, 6'0" in good shape. I've been married once for 5 years, divorced for 3. I went through my AFC (wussy) phase in my late teens, but I was fortunate enough to snap out of it by the time I was 20. From then on it was smooth sailing.

I've been reading many of the articles and message threads here. I agree with quite a bit, but I think there are some areas that need a little fleshing out and amplification. So I'd like to share some of my observations in no particular order:

1) No matter how good-looking a woman is, she will always become boring (particularly sexually) with time. The boredom accelerates if the relationship becomes domestic (living together, marriage, etc.).

2) Men remain in boring relationships out of sentimentality or financial convenience... but rarely fear.

3) Over the long run, the periods that men are without a partner and frustrated are generally happier than being stuck in a relationship which has lost its luster.

4) Women generally do the selecting in the earliest phases of a relationship. Once a woman has committed herself emotionally, the balance of power shifts to the man (assuming he has some degree of self-confidence).

5) Contrary to the myth that "looks don't matter" to women, physical attraction may be the primary and key deciding factor for a woman. However, it is difficult to determine just what will be physically attractive to any particular female. Even though men also value looks, they are far more willing to initially compromise on looks in the pursuit of sex.

6) If a woman is initially physically attracted to a man, there is very little he can do wrong on a first date.

7) If a woman is not initially physically attracted to a man, there is very little he can do right on a first date.

Always pay attention to a woman's actions. If she says she likes you but will not respond to kissing or touching, then she doesn't like you. Move on immediately.

9) Just like there are many men who are simply assholes, the same goes for women. If a woman is rude or inconsiderate in the first few dates, move on immediately -- it will not get better with time.

10) Any strange psychological problems, drug problems or baggage... move on immediately -- it will not get better with time.

11) All women have the same body parts. Don't obsess over one particular female based on appearance. It's a waste of life.

12) The vast majority of men get rejected much more often than they seal the deal. If you are rejected you are simply shooting par. Relax.

13) Above all, women crave attention. Women want to date rock stars not because they find the man himself exciting, but because they find the thought of sharing the limelight exciting. Ask any young girl what she wants to be. Top answers: model, actress, singer.

14) The sad truth is that we can only truly know ourselves. A wonderful woman you marry today and trust completely may change radically over the course of time to become your most vicious enemy. There is absolutely no way to predict this or stop this from happening. It is, ultimately, a matter of chance.

15) There are far more available women out there than you think.

16) Humans are generally not very good at monogamy. Most men in long-term relationships cheat to varying degrees, and a great number of women do as well. It's simply a matter of biology. If you discover that your significant other had an affair, the best course of action may sometimes be to take the high road and let it go.

17) Never, never, never be afraid to approach a female. To reiterate: they all have the same body parts, and they are all composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and trace elements. There isn't a single woman on Earth who is "above" you, no matter what her affectations and social pretenses.

18) Women tend to be far more pragmatic about relationships than men.

19) Unconditional love is a nice sentiment, but does not generally apply to male/female relationships. It does however, almost always apply to female/child, and to a slightly lesser extent, male/child relationships.

20) Never become financially entangled with a female. If you decide to marry, do not even think of doing so without a prenuptial agreement. This is common practice in Europe, however there is still a social stigma attached to these agreements in the U.S.

21) Sex is generally overrated. The amount of effort expended in obtaining it vs. the payoff is absurd.

22) If a woman in a relationship begins to lose interest, it is usually impossible to regain it. The feelings you are having of confusion and fear mean something... trust your gut and move on immediately.

23) After breakups, men usually tend to forget about the sexual boredom and once again find their past girlfriends exciting.

24) If a woman has not gained some form of emotional stability by the time she is her mid-twenties, then it is too late. Move on immediately.

25) Avoid women with a large number of pets or women who pay unusual amounts of attention to their pets.

26) Most first-time marriages fail. Consider that if you decide to get married, there is better than a coin-flip chance that you will be divorced. If any other civil contract had as high a failure rate, Congress would outlaw it. The world has changed dramatically in the last three or four decades and many people have postponed marriage until much later in life, or simply never get married.

27) If you do decide to get married, remember that it IS a contract - one that you can't get out of without a great deal of expense and pain. Never be sentimental about marriage. Love is only one piece of the pie. You may love a woman terribly, but you may also be unable to deal with her in everyday affairs and money matters.

28) Avoid women with addictions, particularly the big three: nicotine, alcohol, and born-again Christianity.

29) Never avoid discussing something that bothers you out of fear of losing the relationship. Most relationships will - sooner or later - be lost anyway. It's better to stand up for yourself early on.

30) Always keep the ego in check. If a woman you are approaching for the first time is rude or obnoxious, simply go away. Tossing an insult or scathingly witty comment back simply demonstrates that your self-confidence is far lower than hers. Always, always, always take the higher road. This doesn't mean be a pushover, it means you bend with the wind (kind of a Zen thing). The best way to disarm an obnoxious female is to treat her with courtesy and respect.

31) There is an inverse relationship between self-confidence and concern with what others think of you.

32) Self-confident men desire sex, but don't dwell on it.

33) Most reasonable, normal women will make it clear if they are attracted to you or not very early on. Period. If you have difficulty reading a woman's motives, or find yourself dwelling on what she meant by something she said, or you can't seem to pin down a date, then move on immediately.

Hope this helps.

Owologbo:
it's because Yorubas worship money and are coward by nature.

Yoruba are not coward by nature

The only tribe in Nigeria that built an empire from Nigeria to Benin republic and Togo even part of Ghana.

You think cowards could have an empire that big ?

DesChyko:
Okay. Is that why you lots are using bot accounts to like your posts? 🤔

i know it's difficult for delusional people like you to bear that Tinubu have supporters

TruthsFM:
he failed woefully to tame his clueless enemy and clueless godfather in Lagos State

you guys are just idiots

He failed to gain the support of the people he needed to secure second term tell me how was that the fault of Tinubu ?

he wasn't impeached he lost primary election plain and simple but you guys turn it to something else because of your hatred for Tinubu lol

no politician can survive losing primary and he failed to get the support of the people he needed how was that Tinubu's fault ?

Tinubu might be a godfather but he's not a tyrant, that's why he could last in South West politics.

TruthsFM:
Ambode is a clueless coward and the clueless coward allowed the clueless people he termed his loyalists mislead him to become a coward why he was the governor for 4 years. Till today Epe people will always hailed series of curse to Tinubu over what he did to their son Ambode. Niger delta people aren’t coward, they act accordingly without waste any time. SIM Fubara will surely succeed in government by defeating his clueless power hunger godfather Wike that forgets that Power intoxicates, Power kills. Wike will be heavily shamed and dealt with. Infact, It will be very difficult for Wike to come to Rivers State.

You are the idiot here

Ambode was'nt impeached he failed to win the primary election. Tell me how he should fight against that lol

You can date any woman if you have the right confidence but military women ain't worth it as a wife. You may compete forever with the government for her time unless she quit.
