forgiveness:
Thanks. But that award is not really Nobel prize.

It is the highest and most powerful award for Agriculture in the world just like the Nobel prize.
It is an equivalent of the Nobel because Nobel has no award for Agric per se.

darfay:
But Rivers state generates more revenue/igr than Oyo and Kano combined

But rivers is less developed than Oyo state.Only Ibadan beats all the South South states combined.Ibadan has more than 10 GRAs.
Which place has these in the South South?

darfay:
Please don't ever compare south south with South West


Before oil we had oil palm and rubber(we still do,)

How many airports are South West?


You beggars feed of our oil

I know that you are a flat.head hiding under SS.
Yorubaland was more prosperous than your forsaken region even without oil.
Your poor selves had oil palm and rubber.What did you do with it,ogogoro master?
This is Yorubaland without oil.
The home of firsts,without oil o!

ChiefAlex:
You’re mad. What’s anambra gdp? What’s the economic viability of anambra. A state with 1 mall, no cinema, not more than 6 gras. You re seriously mad. Come to ibadan come see building. How many gras Dey anambra?

Anambra has only one GRA... phase 1 and an uncompleted phase 2.
Ibadan as people have said is more developed than Igboland.

beamtopola:
If we restructure today all yoruba land will be like Venezuela. The parasite in nigeria. South south is far better than yoruba . The poorest region on earth , even north sudan is better than this poor people

Yorubas lent money to your lazy,dirty Creek parents 2 times during regional system of government.Without oil,Yorubaland was still the most progressive,most developed,most educated,most civilised,most accommodating,most sophisticated region in Nigeria
Without oil,south south will be Armageddon.
Try to match all your South South states with only Ibadan.
Do you have these in your poor region?

forgiveness:
Hahahaha! I have been off from political debates between we we hence not current.

When Ade opens door for you,then you begin to love Akin.

Are you really a Yoruba guy?
You asked very funny and 'pikin' questions.

Donmedra:

Donmedra:

Go and learn and stop disturbing the cyber space.

marvinsync:
ok I get it ur a Yoruba man , proud of ur people okay no problem

but try and dial down the nonsense u say ok , u sound very not smart

U sound very not smart
Yorubas have been proven to severally be one of the most intelligent people on earth.
They built empires when some people were walking naked.
They have produced 3 Nobel Laureates,5 youngest phd holders in the world,7 world best perfect score of 5.0 cgp geniuses and presently they are the best in technology,innovation and business in Nigeria and some of the best in the world.
They have the most developed economy via a vis ICT,Manufacturing,Education etc.

beamtopola:
Yea, the oil alone is the one that is sustaining the companies in lagos. Yoruba were the one mostly affected with the recession when the oil price was down. The story of pot stealing were rampant in yoruba lanf

With all your oil,Yorubaland is still better than your South South.
Which of your states have these?

Donmedra:
of course there are tons of ethnic group in south west apart from Yoruba

Yorubaland is largely homogeneous...all the tribes are Yoruba except maybe Ogu...Egun people in Lagos.

beamtopola:
The oil alone in river state can buy all the industry and all the land in yoruba

Why is the oil unable to buy all what you mentioned,dude?

Donmedra:
name one

From the south east?

Donmedra:
name one

From South East?

Donmedra:
City that don't have airport,seapiort stadium, smh

That slum state can't compete with any south south states

Which of the South South states?I hope you are not a South Easterner because Ogun state beats all the states there hands akimbo.

DocHMD:
yorubas were named by the abookis, there is no record of the word 'yoruba' in yoruba history unlike Igbo that had Igbokwe, OkadIgbo, yoruba simply adopted a slave name given to them like dogs by the mallams.




yoruba were also clothed by the abokkis (agbada was borrowed from babariga) who borrowed same from Arabian merchants unlike yorubas Isiagu, Akwa oche, Ogudo are all Igbo indigenous clothings yorubas can't say the same.

;DThank God you did not argue the truth that you are not intelligent if compared to a great deal of blacks.You were barbarians who were still covering their unclothedness with your bare hands until 1921

I did not mention Yoruba because you are below being compared to them in intelligence

Yoruba Textile History


Between the African history of Egyptians splendidly attired in flowing robes and some modern day African cultures which have either dispensed completely with wearing clothes or likely have never worn them, where did the Yoruba of old fall?

Yoruba culture has a textile history dating back as far as documented history of foreigners’ visits to Yorubaland exists. in other words, none of the accounts in history mention unclothedness among the Yoruba as a norm. So, as far back as the 1400s at least, Yoruba have been manufacturing ( and wearing) indigenous fabric.

Here are 10 facts about Yoruba textiles:

Kijipa

Kijipa is the earliest known indigenous Yoruba fabric
Kijipa which had a rough texture, was made of raw hand spun cotton
Kijipa was woven on indigenous narrow and wide looms
Kijipa was beige in colour, which faded into white with regular washing, but it was sometimes dyed in indigo for practical and aesthetic purposes
Kijipa was a work fabric for every day living worn by men and women alike
Adire

Adire is indigo resist dyed cotton cloth that has been made by Yoruba women for generations
Adire resist-dyeing involves creating a pattern by tying away designed parts of the fabric with raffia or coating with starch to prevent them absorbing dye.
Adire was originally used to beautify Kijipa fabric, later imported cotton fabric was used
Adire patterns were once a mode of story telling via fabrics
Each authentic Adire pattern has a meaning , interpretation or proverb behind it..

The Yoruba take immense pride in their attire, for which they are well known. Clothing materials traditionally come from processed cotton by traditional weavers. They believe that the type of clothes worn by a man depicts his personality and social status, and that different occasions require different clothing outfits.

Typically, The Yoruba have a very wide range of materials used to make clothing, the most basic being the Aṣo-Oke, which is a hand loomed cloth of different patterns and colors sewn into various styles.[125] and which comes in very many different colors and patterns. Aso Oke comes in three major styles based on pattern and coloration;

Alaari - a rich red Aṣọ-Oke,
Sanyan - a brown and usual light brown Aṣọ-Oke, and
Ẹtu - a dark blue Aṣọ-Oke.
Other clothing materials include but are not limited to:

Ofi - pure white yarned cloths, used as cover cloth, it can be sewn and worn.
Aran - a velvet clothing material of silky texture sewn into Danṣiki and Kẹmbẹ, worn by the rich.
Adirẹ - cloth with various patterns and designs, dye in indigo ink (Ẹlu or Aro).

Agbada clothing historically worn by Yoruba men
Clothing in Yoruba culture is gender sensitive, despite a tradition of non-gender conforming families. For menswear, they have Bùbá, Esiki and Sapara, which are regarded as Èwù Àwòtélè or underwear, while they also have Dandogo, Agbádá, Gbariye, Sulia and Oyala, which are also known as Èwù Àwòlékè / Àwòsókè or overwear. Some fashionable men may add an accessory to the Agbádá outfit in the form of a wraparound (Ìbora).[126][127]


Finished Adire clothing material
They also have various types of Sòkòtò or native trousers that are sown alongside the above-mentioned dresses. Some of these are Kèmbè (Three-Quarter baggy pants), Gbáanu, Sóóró (Long slim / streamlined pants), Káamu & Sòkòtò Elemu. A man's dressing is considered incomplete without a cap (Fìlà). Some of these caps include, but are not limited to; Gobi (Cylindrical, which when worn may be compressed and shaped forward, sideways, or backward), Tinko, Abetí-ajá (Crest-like shape which derives its name from its hanging flaps that resembles a dog's hanging ears. The flaps can be lowered to cover the ears in cold weather, otherwise, they are upwardly turned in normal weather), Alagbaa, Oribi, Bentigoo, Onide, and Labankada (a bigger version of the Abetí-ajá, and is worn in such a way as to reveal the contrasting color of the cloth used as underlay for the flaps).

Women also have different types of dresses. The most commonly worn are Ìró (wrapper) and Bùbá (blouse-like loose top). Women also have matching Gèlè (head gear) that must be put on whenever the Ìró and Bùbá is on. Just as the cap (Fìlà) is important to men, women's dressing is considered incomplete without Gèlè. It may be of plain cloth or costly as the women can afford. Apart from this, they also have ìborùn (Shawl) and Ìpèlé (which are long pieces of fabric that usually hang on the left shoulder and stretch from the hind of the body to the fore). At times, it is tied round their waists over the original one piece wrapper. Unlike men, women have two types of under wears (Èwù Àwòtélè), called; Tòbi and Sinmí. Tòbi is like the modern day apron with strings and spaces in which women can keep their valuables. They tie the tòbi around the waists before putting on the Ìró (wrapper). Sinmí is like a sleeveless T-shirt that is worn under before wearing any other dress on the upper body...

I am sure that if the Igbos have the achievements of the Yoruba,they will claim to be gods over all blacks.
Very noisy people.

DocHMD:
You know the truth but also know that accepting it as truth might kill you of tachycardia and orthopnea eventually leading to your death.

I'll recomend you accept your lie so you can live longer to see more truths.

Go read,see and learn.Igbos were learning how to wear clothes until 1921.Where is the intelligence?

DocHMD:
The truth about Igbos being the most intelligent Africans wan scatter this one brain with pains.

When gorillas start wearing clothes then will they begin to be intelligent.
What is your proof that Igbos are half intelligent as any black even in Nigeria?It is easy to say that I am the most intelligent guy in the world but is there a proof for that,if I have I will flaunt it.All Igbos achievements will be dwarfed by some tribes even in Nigeria and you know it.
A Nigerian was accepted by 19 best universities in the world.This one is only 8 which is not even confirmed by any authentic sites except blogs

ozoebuka1:


Only God can bear me witness that I was so sure that she was going to be an igbo girl

Nigeria system of education is so bad that it is limiting not just Igbos but all tribes in Nigeria with Igbos being most affected.

The desperation to gain admission into federal government schools in Nigeria due to "federal character" has made Igbos become so desperate to surpass the high cutoff marshalled out to them, which has led to an increase in "miracle centers" all over the eastern Nigeria and I dare not blame them for this. "I'm planning on writing a book on how Nigeria has made igbo people so desperate that they could do anything to survive, whether good or bad"

Igbos are the most intelligent black race ask me why.

lol...how can Igbos be the most brilliant black?I don't even think they can be 10th in brilliance.I learnt they started learning how to wear clothes in 1921.The real brilliant blacks didn't do that you know.

darfay:
Stop telling lies Anambra is not the fourth largest economy amongst Nigerian states it is rather Lagos,Rivers,Delta and oyo states in that order according to NBS show us any link that proves anambra is fourth and yet the igr of neighbouring delta state is 3* more

You are right.Ibadan(Oyo state) is the 4th economy in Nigeria.Anambra could be the 10th or 11th.The thread'Yoruba are the most industrious....has put paid to some of the misconceptions in this thread.

Some people will not be able to sleep tonight

Obamaofusa:
I am posting them haphazardly.Bear with me.

Imo will almost possibly lead mainly because of the free education that has been going on there for several years now.I give it to the Yorubas who have been leading for a long time and still continue to lead according to these recent stats here.Coupled with their numerous educational achievements,they are the ones to beat.The others have seen that Yorubas got most of their achievements through education and have vowed to catch up with them while the Yorubas are somewhat complacent but to my mind,they still lead.

With the statistics posted and the world class achievements of the Yorubas in education,I say the sky is the limit only if they will not be satisfied with the meagre lead they have right now.I also believe that Yorubas have the highest number of people schooling abroad who are not caught in the statistics.
For the people with the highest number of professors,this is the stats released by the NUC last year.I trust the Igbo Profs if it were not right,they would have opposed it to the high heavens.

This is cumulative till last year.

Pls,can you help with the link even if it is in PDF?

Plus,can you help with the link even if it is off?

kernel507:
On the average, Igbos have the highest illiteracy rate in Nigeria at least for now.

This is interesting.Which year is this?I mean let us see the whole gist.Igbos are going places educationally,that is swell!

perez100:
South West is like a man who has N10b in his account and owe N50b debt but still claim he is richer than a man that has N5b but owe N1b. Despite the huge IGR of Lagos, Ogun States etc, South West still owe 70% of Nigeria debts while other regions share a mere 30% of the remaining debts. They owe more than what they generate. From the debt, Lagos and South West becomes the poorest region in Nigeria and to extention a parasitic region that cannot survive on its own without FG allocations that comes from oil money. No wonder they say 'most noise comes from empty vessels'.

It means that Igboland is richer than USA because USA is the greatest debtor in the world. They owe more than Igboland more than a million time.
