dem no born the yoruba that will chase igbos away from lagos well.

Your effeminate bearded Ojukwu said more than that,he lilly liveredly fled at the sight of Adekunle the Scorpion.It is in your DNA...Cowardice and Very,very loudmouthed hullabaloo...lol.
Yorubas are tested, trusted and guaranteed.Go and ask your defeated batallions at Ore by a few Yoruba soldiers... lol.I no fit laugh.

EastLebanon:
ojukwu went on exile the moment he saw that he was loosing the war,he knew that the gowon and co. Won't spare his life,because they killed innocent civilians,is it him that is a war commander that they will spare?,he later came back with full morah,but awo took his life after gowon and co. Used him as slave and dumped him,abiola declared himself a president,within the next few seconds abacha dealt with him and imprisoned him and also killed his wife and later killed him.
Are you ok or should i continue?

Yorubas are tested, trusted and guaranteed.Yorubas are warriors...real considerate warriors and very,very intelligent.Go and read about their organisational prowess,their military might when your lineage were using hands to cover their d**ks and as.ses the great Yoruba nation was building empires like the Roman empire,British empire etc.Only brave warriors did that not weaklings...

meforyou1:
Lagos is no man's land

You have to believe that so we can use you maximally as modern slaves to develop it and at the end of the day,we kick you off to your poverty stricken alaigbo...lol

WIZGUY69:
dog. the whole world
knows
that
Ibadan
is Europe
compared to the caves u all craws from.
son of a village dog peddler.

I bet you,the rodents are all over South West,their Rondon,than anywhere in the world while the Yorubas,the real travellers are all over the world but in UK than anywhere in the world.can you see the difference?

Dbboy:
if you dont have anything to substantiate your point pls just hide your face because fact dont lie.

What is this one saying.Ogun state has more industries than the entire South East...

abagoro:
Aba is a city while Ogun is a State. The writer made mention of city not State.

And only an estate beat it hands down...Agbara estate.The guy tried sha with the internet pix he was showing-but the mistake he made was d**k measuring with Yorubas.
No IBO did that without having a bloody nose and toothless mouth,go and ask Azikiwe,Achebe,Ojukwu,the runaway bride.loool.Yorubas are miles ahead of the Ibos in achievements...well the Ibos are trying sha...

menabadoo:
is Ogun a city? Yorubas are illiterates

Is Lagos a city?Yeeboes are stark illiterates...

sukkot:
amin oooo hehe. amin jesu

Ki awon afobaje ma she ojoro o...lol.

Guy, you make it seem as if learning a craft is a dead end. I beg to disagree. The problem I have with many of them, is that a lot of them are not honest. Neither are they thorough or masters of their craft. It is one thing to learn a craft. It is another to master it, and learn how to use the proceeds wisely to increase and expand your business. This is what many craftsmen need to learn.

Even if you are a trader, if you are not prudent with your resources or if you have dishonest workers you will go bankrupt, and end up living from hand to mouth. Everyone cannot be a trader.

In my area, there was a time that generator technicians were like hot cake. There was a guy in my close that we used to wait for patiently to fix our gensets, because he was good at his job. In no time at all, he bought a small Golf 3 car with the money he made from generator repairs. If my genset is faulty, would I call a trader or a technician?

Sadly, his counterpart that had a workshop 2 streets away, who was in the same line of business ended up in penury, because most of his money was spent at Mama Calabar's pepper soup and beer joint.

Think about the future...Nobody is listening?The future!the future!!the future!!!*sighs*

If Lagos continues like this, it would be calamitous in a couple of years and in the long run because the percentage of craftspeople is getting higher with each parent's standard of living falling,all hell could be let loose and only the traders would mostly be able to live above board.The future as I see it for the South Westerners who are sending their wards to go and learn about crafts in droves is not too promising.The Kwarans came to Lagos,went into trade and became OWO NI E JE(na money he go chop-lol)
The Ibos came to Lagos went into trade and became "no man's land"crusaders-lol.
Trade is an individual thing and always afford you,mostly always,to feed yourself and family without going a begging.This is not so for craftspeople.
I pity them.They went through hell during their apprenticeship, they are a hard worker than the traders but destiny had always smiled on the traders than the craftspeople.

laudate:
True! But those existing craftsmen still need further education, more training and better packaging to upgrade both themselves and the services they offer.

Let me give you an example. Many years ago, artisans and mechanics were more patient, dedicated and thorough.

They would troubleshoot and diagnose any problem with your car properly, before recommending a fix. But these days, once mechanics spend a few weeks with their 'master,' and put some money together to do their 'freedom' or graduation, they think they have arrived, not realising that it is just a starting point.

So many new models of cars keep coming out everyday. Are our mechanics upgrading their knowledge of the tech skills and functions of such cars? Nope. Instead they are worsening the problem.

Ironically, I have had better service from Togolese and Benenoise mechanics who also speak a dialect of Yoruba, than the indigenous local mechanics. Something needs to be done in this area.

People get paid for providing solutions, and not for listing out problems.

We also need to fine-tune our definition of success. Having mega bucks may not be an artisan's idea of success or a mechanic's vision of achievement. But being able to feed himself and his family with 3 square meals each day, having decent affordable accommodation that is fully paid up, being able to settle school fees promptly because there is ready cash and getting quality medical care on demand...may just be his own picture of success.

And if he is happy with this picture, who are we to say otherwise? Everyone in the society cannot be multi-millionaires, but everybody can be well-fed, well-housed, and well taken care of within the limits of what he earns from his craft.

That is it my brother.To be well fed,well clothed and have a good standard of living nowadays on Nigeria really needs more than unpackaged craftsperson but easier for a trader because you don't need much expertise to be a trader.Anybody can become a trader.Provided you have the capital,you can e even use a proxy but still, it is more lucrative than crafts.I think the only solution for those loudmouthed touts or area boys or would be area boys,is to set them up with some trade with good monitoring for a couple of years before leaving them to their fate...

7lives:
If you think the street boys are only the Yoruba's you are on a loooooong thing.
Even girls are also involved, the only thing that qualifies you to belong is that you are a daredevil who can speak their gutter language.
If you doubt me conduct your personal research and thank me later.

What do you think their parents can do to curb this menace.My support for the OP stems from the fact that traders cum biz people like the Kwarans and Ibos have really made some marks in Lagos and I think the Yoruba parents should stop sending their children to go and learn craft-VULCANIZERS,RADIONIC ETC-because it has not been proving that 30/100 of them are successful but traders have mostly been successful and have lifted their communities out of misery even without the help of the Govt.

Omololu007:
how many aboki soul don rest in peace since them start to they kill flat heads,sanusi was involve in the be heading of akakuka(don't really get his foolish name),today sanusi is the emir of kano..flat head go and drown yourself in the lagoon. parasite

lol

Omololu007:
the flat head is not just an OSU,he is a parasite that must be destroyed soon

I do know that all of them are parasites and they have been given the parasites crown of Nigeria-GOLCROTPAN.I think this mofo is a destitute OSU...you can see that he is always forming.lol.

patmaine:
of course I am from the south east and I am in Lagos hitting it big. which in turn give you sleepless night.


why else would you want me to go back to my village which is nnewi by the way.

I can go to nnewi and still make it big time. but I am not going anytime soon.

we go enjoy Lagos.

dying already?

He is just advising you.Abi you want to die in Lagos?I hope you are not an OSU.

Fleshly:
FFK has said it all, the yorubas exhibit a coward mentality of fear and pretence, and that is what they call intelligence. What intelligence are we even talking of here, as-in which intelligence if I may ask.

Intelligence that makes them to be the dirtiest swines in Nigeria, .

Look at the dirtiest swines in the world.lol

Intelligence that makes them to be the dirtiest swines in Nigeria, or the intelligence that makes them to be the tribe with the highest number of professors (a myth that has been bursted time and time again) or is it the intelligence that makes them to be eternal slaves to the almajiris, or maybe the intelligence that makes thier leaders to be played Iike some two bit hustlers.

Most unfortunately they will be played again by this regime, and instead of backtracking on time just as a host of their folks like FFK, Doyin Okupe, Yinks Odumakin, the OPC and their obas are doing and have done, they will rather chose to take the part of cowardice.

Look at the dirtiest swines in the world...I hope your mumma did not drink all..she left a little for your smelling,stinking self... http://www.nationalnetworkonline.com/vol12n6/feature.html

patmaine:
I am not going back yet...I 'll stay here in Lagos cos I don't pay house rent in Lagos. every one single male in my family own a house in Lagos.

I 'll stay in Lagos. hit it big time.

Wen I am satisfied I 'll go back to Nnewi.

U can only wail. ain't nothing u can do about us Igbos in Lagos.

so u can continue wallowing in painment.


guess wat. even if we get our Biafra. we won't leave Lagos. cos we got tins here..

you all will worship us because we 'll be like mtn etisalat. shoprite. foreign investors. and tins.

U dey feel me..

Ok am through with u..


U can go kill ur self. hug transformer or something

Kwarans own more landed properties than you do and their population is lesser than yours. Have you ever heard them say they control Lagos.Well maybe they are yorubas and very much smarter than you are.You can bring all your families to develop our homeland for us.It is a must that you must serve us with all your hearts and might.So help you God.If we are satisfied, we would give you your Biafra and you would go back with the poly bag you came with.I don't pray that you don't take something to Alaigbo,so we might carry your house on your head for homeward delivery to Alaigbo.lol.

You can console yourselve, truth hurts and lies heal . But reality is devastating

Lekwa onye yoruba na trade

My man you are the true son of Ojukwu.Reality is devastatingly devastating... you have not been able to make 1/40 of this... https://www.nairaland.com/2486801/check-out-these-achievements-u
Yorubas have gotten five Grammy awards,Igbo don't have 1/2.
Yoruba has been the Head of UNO,Igbo for where?
Yoruba still leading head of former heads of the world,Igbos only go for crumbs...etc...trillions of lol.

patmaine:
I remember when we fought for independence. we wr invited by the queen to celebrate the coming independence. so. awolowo was at the far end. azikiwe was at d other end. I sat beside d queen.

so awolowo on noticing the spoon is gold. he said to zik. this is gold. I am taking it home.
zik now thought of a way to take the spoon without them thinking about it..


he told us he want to display a little black magic.

he put the spoon in his pocket and told the gathering that d spoon is in awolowos pocket...

U all kno the moral of this little history

Console yourselves.Talk is cheap.You would always be our wives.Go and ask Achebe.lol.

Chigold101:
Do you know how many over populated specialized market you have in Onitsha? When you people say Igbos flock to Lagos you make it look like if there is no market in Igboland.

Where have Ndi Igbo made noise about lands and properties they own I'm Lagos? Is it not in defence of themselves to threads like this one that make them to respond.

Talking about Kwarans, it is on record that most of them are not educated or do not even enjoy their wealth. Igbos know to spend an enjoy their little resources.
There are more Igbos in Social media in Nigeria than any other tribe, including in Nairaland. A Yoruba might be the owner but the man that sells the parts he needs for his computer is being sold by onye Igbo

Another loudmouthed Ojukwu.Always blabbing and if reality is shown through facts, they are always there in the mud.Ojukwu,the effeminate said more than this.We have more billionaires,facts shown,Igbos fell down yakata...Forbes you are wicked o.
Igbos said they had less poverty,facts shown,Igbos fell yakata...UNDP you are wicked o.
Ibos called South West parasites, facts shown,Igbos fell yakata...Wikipedia you wicked o.
Igbos said Yorubas envy them because they have more achievements,facts shown, Igbo fell yakata,they could not even make up to 1/40 of this...lollest of lols... https://www.nairaland.com/2486801/check-out-these-achievements-u
I can't laugh.

Aareonakakanfo:
[b]Ha ritchie you sef don fall for their lie? those petty traders aren't middle class oo. The red-mud people are the ones packaging it. the red mud people refer to them as S.M.Es Dongeri-twisted most of them are in the o.k zone that is they can afford 3 square meals but that's where it ends plus they're staunch gamblers and a large chunk of the money they earn ends up in kessington adebutu's(baba ijebu) bank account . i'm an authority on this because i use to live close to most of them back then. they struggle to pay for rents. they're in the same category with yoruba taxi drivers. as for poverty in Nigeria, i tell you the south-west is still well grounded. the only problem with the southwest is population. Everyone wants to come there so its quite difficult for indigenes due to competition that's why when i tell people i'm 100% in support of all these biafran nonsense, they look at me weird. make everybody go hin house but its unfortunte a lot of yorubas don't look at the bigger picture. but two states i have so much confidence in are ogun state and ondo state. Ogun due to the influx of industries and Ondo due to their love for cocoa farming, osun was doing extremely well too until the salary issue[/b]


Look at this

No,why would I fall for Okoro trick.We are smarter than they are and you know that, man.It is for want of word to properly categorise them in Lagos here.I would say they have a good ARRIVISTE.What is your solution to these craftspeople turned area boys if you don't support wholesome trading?Look at what I pray for...would he do it...? http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/08/ambode-vows-to-take-lagos-youths-off-streets/

BuddahMonk:
You can't do it, I know what Yorubas can do.

Have you imagined how Igbos avoided this thread, they know your on long deserved slumber so no need to wake you guys up to your folly.

Even if yoruba competes with Igbo with one eye closed, you would still be beaten black and blue.You are our wives. Go and ask Lady Ojukwu.

Freemanan:
2. Ibadan
Many people have the notion that Ibadan is still that ancient town with panoramic brick townhouses our fore-fathers lived in. Well, that is no longer the case, there is much more to experience in this metropolis. The underrated city has been reborn in the past few years with upscale neigbourhood, beautiful hotels and restaurants – even local ‘bukas’ such as Mama Ope Buka at Mokola has stepped up its game. Places like Agodi gate has been restructured and no longer as rowdy as it used to be. You will find great street foods – local specialties such as ‘Amala and Ewedu with roundabout meats’ – this makes this city more memorable. Nightlife in Ibadan is exciting, especially in the trendy part of the city – live music, clubs and bars, you will surely be entertained. Low living and housing cost, big business interests – lots of companies ( both local and International) are opening branches in Ibadan. Everything is now bigger and better in Ibadan.

These people are neat.

Aareonakakanfo:
Yes i was happy but i never said our billionaires were craftsmen. i already said there's no where in the world where craftsmen are billionaires at the same time no ibo will come here and tell me those spare parts traders are millionaires talkless of billionaires. crafts is a s.m.e thing. we're basically saying the same thing but there's a mix up

Have you seen
the UNDP report on poverty in Nigeria?I am not praying for that but in a couple of years from now,it would be a different story for the South Westerners.
In Nigeria of today,the Ibos are the most largely employed and they have a good traviste and still consolidating through this trade thing.
We want billionaires, millionaires and even thousandnaires who would be able to lift their communities and not these poor craftspeople that have become area boys...
