I just don't what to show you he really Ibadan and Akure pictures here because its for achievements of great Igbo nation
YORUBAS HAVE BEEN CIVILIZED EVEN WHEN IGBOS WERE COVERING THEIR BLOCKOSS WITH BARE HANDS....


As of the 7th century BCE the African peoples
who lived in Yorubaland, were not initially
known as the Yoruba, although they shared a
common ethnicity and language group. By the
8th century, a powerful Yoruba kingdom already
existed in Ile-Ife , one of the earliest in Africa
south of the Sahara-Sahel.
The historical Yoruba develop in situ, out of
earlier Mesolithic Volta-Niger populations, by
the 1st millennium BCE. Oral history recorded
under the Oyo Empire derives the Yoruba as an
ethnic group from the population of the older
kingdom of Ile-Ife. The Yoruba were the
dominant cultural force in southern Nigeria as
far back as the 11th century. [28]
The Yoruba are among the most urbanized
people in Africa. For centuries before the arrival
of the British colonial administration most
Yoruba already lived in well structured urban
centers organized around powerful city-states
( Ìlú) centered around the residence of the Oba.
[29] In ancient times, most of these cities were
fortresses, with high walls and gates. Yoruba
cities have always been among the most
populous in Africa. Archaeological findings
indicate that Òyó-Ilé or Katunga, capital of the
Yoruba empire of Oyo that flourished between
the 11th and 19th centuries A.D. had a
population of over 100,000 people (the largest
single population of any African settlement at
that time in history). For a long time also,
Ibadan , one of the major Yoruba cities, was the
largest city in the whole of Sub Saharan Africa.
Today, Lagos (Yorùbá : Èkó), another major
Yoruba city, with a population of over twenty
million, remains the largest on the African
continent.

IGBO HISTORY


Aspects of Igbo culture such as construction of
houses, education and religion changed
following colonialism. The tradition of building
houses out of mud walls and thatched roofs
ended as the people shifted to materials such
as cement blocks for houses and zinc roofs.
Roads for vehicles were built. Buildings such as
hospitals and schools were erected in many
parts of Igboland. Along with these changes,
electricity and running water were installed in
the early 20th century. With electricity, new
technology such as radios and televisions were
adopted, and have become commonplace in
most Igbo households.

THIS IS A VERY RECENT GOOD NEWS FROM PROF WOLE SOYINKA,NOBEL LAUREATE'S STABLE.


http://pulse.ng/movies/ake-movie-adaptation-of-wole-soyinka-s-book-to-debut-at-cannes-film-festival-id4902323.html

Mr Dapo Adeniyi, the Executive Producer of the film made this revelation in an interview he granted NAN in Abuja recently.

READ MORE: Watch trailer for Wole Soyinka's childhood story

The movie, now translated to French, will be shown first at the Festival International du Film pan African de Cannes which runs through April 16 to April 20.

“This film festival holding in the city of Cannes focuses on African works," He began.

“Since the film is an adaptation of the world famous book “Ake”, one of the books that earned Soyinka the Nobel Prize in 1986, we decided to showcase it at the world stage.

“It is a scintillating film adaptation of one of the most captivating childhood reminiscences of all time.

“To make sure that people understand and appreciate the story in France, we have to do the French translation.”

Speaking of the book from which inspired the film, Mr. Adeniyi said, “Aké: The Years of Childhood” is a memoir by Nigerian writer, Wole Soyinka, that was first published in 1981.

“It tells the story of Soyinka’s boyhood before and during World War II in a Yoruba village in western Nigeria called Aké, where the author spent the first 12 years of his life.

“It combines a beautiful child-view narrative technique with direct echoes from the war as heard or imagined down in Ake, Abeokuta.

“It is a spectacle not only for our time but for generations to come."

sikiru-adepoju

Sikiru Adepoju (pronounced Seek-ee-roo Ah-deh-po-joo) is a master of the talking drum and many other Yoruba percussion instruments. Born in Eruwa, Nigeria, Sikiru hails from the traditional lineage of Yoruba talking drummers culturally referred to as Ayan which means “one who has
descended from drummers lineage,” and began playing under the tutelage of his father Chief Ayanleke Adepoju at the age of six. Along with his brothers Saminu and Lasisi, Sikiru accompanied the family’s talking drum ensemble for several years.

After moving to the San Fransico Bay Area in 1985, Sikiru joined the influential and pioneering Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olantunji and his Drums of Passion. This marked a lengthy period of high productivity from Sikiru which saw him recording and performing throughout the world until a year before Olantunji’s death in 2003. During this period he was introduced to Grateful Dead drummer, Mickey Hart, who has called Sikiru “The Mozart of the talking drum,” and employed him on many of his personal projects including the Grammy award winning albumsPlanet Drum (1991) and Global Drum Project (2008).

Nigga I feel your pain.

It must suck Noone in the entire World thinks una are "winners"..hell they even counting una in the race and it must hella suck they see you BENEATH igbo in EVERY EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS (the real winners)

When you're winners, others notice and others will be the ones talking about it (case in point this thread by multiple reporters as well as the one written by the Botswana writer) but when you ain't in even sh1t aka losers, no one notices (case in point yoriba)

Despite yoloba years of desperation to be notice especially with una get am before, nobody in the world care or even see una as educated or worth mentioning in regards to brains of africa.

Igbos are not tooting their horn...the rest of the world is while not ONE none yoloba, non nigeria person is falling for una self claimed "most educated".

I know it must hurt the rest of the world do not see you as anything

Oh and btw grin grin @ Russia is a technology reigns as well as the so called two yoloba Nobel laureates. Lmfaoooo. Woke Soyinka and who else? Even at that, wole Soyinka Nobel award is in literature (aka the ass of Nobel prizes almost equivalent the world peace nobel), in addition despite he's Nobel award, the man does not even register by the rest of the world as father of literature of Africa or even that well known in that department. Yet again, only one holds that title and he's name was Chinua Achebe. Yet again..it wasn't chinua or even igbo that accredited him that title, it was YET AGAIN THE REST Of THE WORLD. As I said, when you're a winner, others toot your horn for you.

I can see your pain from a mile away.

Go call herald, trent, newsonline, etc and whine and cry to them about it okay. Ndoooooooo ooo. Sorry
Herald, trent, newsonline,Newtelegraph etc...Do they look like authentic newsoutlets to you?

Moreover we have a vital assignment as a people especially now. We should pursue that than waste our time like this. angry

If you hear that a Nigerian is to hanged or killed for one crime or the other especially drug,be rest assured it will be ratio IGBO :95 - YORUBA:5 95:5

No sane civilised people like America will say a predominantly criminally inclined people like Igbos are brilliant when they don't have anything to show for the claim than swmming in criminality.
THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT IGBOS...


188 AFRICAN AFFAIRS
The lowest level of transportation is the couriers or mules, mostly people in desperate need of money. Couriers recruited by Nigerian barons, via a striker, usually carry a small parcel of drugs on their person, in return for cash payment. There are also freelancers, individuals who try their luck at buying and smuggling drugs on their own. The 21-year old Iwuchukwu Amara Tochi, who was hanged in Singapore on Friday 26 January 2006 after being caught in possession of 727 grams of diamorphine, was one such unfortunate. He was just eighteen at the time of his arrest. He had gone to Asia in the hope of pursuing a career as a professional footballer, but had been recruited as a courier by a fellow Nigerian for a fee of $2,000.89 Of 316 people arrested at Lagos international airport in possession of cocaine or heroin between January 2006 and 5 September 2007, according to a Nigerian police report,90 no less than 69percentwereso-called‘swallowers’, people who had ingested condoms filled with hard drugs. Only 31 percent had packed them in baggage. Of the fifty-five people arrested at the same airport for similar reasons in the third quarter of 2007, most were in their thirties. According to police analysts, this is a vulnerable age because it corresponds to people losing the support of their parents and having to make major life choices. The preferred destination for couriers in recent times is Spain, on account of its relatively lax residence rules. An applicant can get a temporary residence permit after just six months, which makes him or her far less likely to be searched on entry as it is assumed that adequate checks have been made. Thus,betweenJanuary2006and5September2007,outof 273 people arrested in Nigeria on suspicion of exporting drugs, 29 percent were heading for Spain.91 Various attempts have been made to profile Nigerian drug traffickers. There is a general consensus among those who have attempted this that the Nigerian narcotics trade is dominated by Igbo people. The Swiss police are reported to have produced a more exact profile, even down to villages of origin, via an analysis of patterns of arrest. Among Igbos themselves, it is sometimes said that most narcotics traffickers come from one particular Local Government Area. Ninety percent of those arrested are male.92 However, the profiles that are widely used by European, North American and south-east Asian authorities do not appear to include data from the considerable number of Nigerians arrested for drug offences in Saudi Arabia, which may well reveal a different social background. 89.

West Africa's International Drug Trade-by Prof Ellis...
new bulk trade
The first recorded case of a Nigerian smuggler transporting heroin in bulk is that of Joe Brown Akubueze, who imported some 250 kilograms of heroin from Thailand by sea, packed in water coolers, in December 1993. He was arrested in Nigeria after a tip-off, and sentenced by a court to 115 years in prison, of which he served ten years before being released.97 In retrospect, this was an early indicator of a move towards very large shipments by air and sea, although the classic Nigerian courier trade still remains as strong as ever. From the late 1990s, there were growing reports of ‘very large consignments’ of drugs heading to West Africa ‘by ship or commercial containers’, according to a police officer working for the UN.98 In 2000, Cape Verdean authorities reported the interception of a ship in the Caribbean heading to their country with 2.3 tonnes of cocaine.99 In 2003, a massive cargo of 7.5 tonnes of cocaine was intercepted on a ship enroutetoSpainviaCapeVerdeandSenegal.100 In 2004, six people were arrested in the Ghanaian port-city of Temainpossession of 588kilogramsof cocaine from Colombia via Venezuela.101 This was a particularly notorious case because of the action of a judge who, amazingly, granted bail to the accused, raising suspicions of corrupt...
