We got brains and ability to socialize. The greatest survival Mechanism of all.
Across Earth’s biosphere, intelligence and social cohesion have evolved not as luxuries but as essential strategies for survival.
Numerous species demonstrate astonishing mental capacity and complex social behavior often surpassing humans in specific contexts.

Elephants, for example possess immense memory and emotional intelligence. They mourn their dead, recognize themselves in mirrors and form tight-knit herds led by experienced matriarchs. Their brains are not just large, but structurally specialized for empathy and social bonding.


Wolves and lions are apex predators that thrive not as lone warriors but as members of tightly coordinated packs and prides.
Roles are shared, their young are protected communally and coordinated attacks are executed with precision directed by instinct and experience.
we humans on the other hand require artificial tools to meet even basic environmental challenges like clothing, shelter, fire, farming. Without them, we perish quickly.

This profound inefficiency has led some to explore the “ancient alien” hypothesis, the idea that humans are not native to Earth but rather introduced here, perhaps through directed panspermia or extraterrestrial intervention. Theorists cite our sensitivity to sunlight, high rates of chronic disease and our relatively poor adaptation to Earth's flora and fauna as circumstantial evidence!

As a scientist, it is often our duty not to flatter, but to observe objectively and sometimes uncomfortably.
Strip away our technology, our clothes, our tools and what are we? Naked, soft-skinned primates with limited endurance, poor night vision, no natural camouflage, no fangs, no claws.
We are born nearly helpless, requiring years of care before we can function independently. Contrast this with other species each finely tuned by evolution to thrive within Earth’s challenges.

Consider the camel, nature’s desert engineer.
With the ability to conserve water, tolerate extreme temperatures and traverse scorching dunes with ease, it scoffs at the very environments that would kill a human in hours.

Can you tell me one thing Igbo peoples are doing that no other tribe is selling or you just feel you are superior?
That's the problem! Nobody is feeling superior to anybody, we all equal, facing the same social economic problems as Nigerians.
What i gave you is simple basic entrepreneurship. If a need exists in a community, it creates a gap for a business opportunities.
People who travel outside their home states or country just seek out these gaps in different communities and make money out of it...it's simple as that. It mustn't be Igbos!

How do you hate someone who came to satisfy a need and fill gaps in the community?
Unfortunately for primitive thinking people like you, the constitution of Nigeria clearly supports any Nigerian to settle and do business without any discrimination in any part of Nigeria.
Until the constitution is changed, you can't stop anyone from exploring any community in Nigeria for business opportunities or you will be arrested and sent to jail.

grin story for the gods…..Otondo, if indeed you are educated like you claim, if development can not be accessed based on infrastructure then pls tell us how to measure development?

And you talk about human capacity development as another indices to measure development, pls tell us which region has the highest number of human capital development if not Yorubas?

Yes Nigeria is still largely undeveloped but we know that some regions are doing better than some in term of development and SW is still the most developed region in Nigeria, and aside from Lagos, tell us which state in your region is more developed than Ibadan?

The infrastructure in Ibadan alone is more than what you will find in your region and if indeed you are educated and understand economics, then you would know that people only migrate to place that are economically viable and that’s why the trend of migration is from east to west and not the other way round grin

Yiibos are largely traders with less formal education unlike the Yorubas who largely control the formal sector like the banking, insurance, manufacturing, media, entertainment etc grin and there is nothing special in what you do, if you move your businesses back to your region, other people will provide those services.

But you can believe what you want, but you can’t take away the truth about the fact that economically SW is far ahead of your region grin
You are going round circles.

Human Capital Development at it's core is the mental or psychological development.
It's a transformational change that involves moving from fatalism to responsibility
From tribalism to nationalism
Southwest doesn't have a different GDP from the Southeast or a higher life expectancy or a lower poverty rate.
Real development is not resistance to innovation, entrepreneurship or reforms rather embraces them.
This aspect of development is the most critical because no amount of infrastructure or resources will lead to real development if the people’s mindset remains regressive, clannish, tribalistic......


I repeat again, there's no region in Nigeria that is developed or more developed than the other, including Lagos state or Ibadan you mentioned. People in lagos or Ibadan don't have access to clean water, no constant electricity, no good roads, life expectancy is low, infant mortality is high, insecurity is high, no quality hospitals, literacy level is low, unemployment is high, corruption is high...e.t.c. Untill all these things are in place, there's nothing like development in such a society!

Please learn how to make your points in a civilized manner in your next post.

If this is correct then where is the dryness in the ocean?

Because we can all see that God is all Good. In fact, He is Too Good.

So He is outside this Law. But if you disagree then I ask where is the dryness in the ocean?

Or where is the cold in the fire?
You are getting the whole thing wrong. You cannot get an opposite of something within itself. The opposites can exist in the same place and time but not within themselves or mix together.
The opposite of dryness you mentioned is obviously wetness, if there's no wetness dryness will not exist.
Secondly, the believe that God is all good stems from limited knowledge about the nature of God. Even in the Bible there are verses where God said he is both good and evil.
People erroneously have that believe that God is one fluffy harmless compassionate being.
That has never been the nature of God and he has demonstrated his true nature severally but humans will be humans, we cherish our delusions.
Christianity EtcRe: Where In The Bible Does It Say God Knows Everything? by shortgun(m): 11:03am On May 04, 2025
For everything to exist it has to abide by certain laws that govern existence and the universe.

These laws applies to everything in existence including God.
One of the laws is the Law of Opposites.
For light to exist there must be darkness, for poverty to exist there must be riches, for up to exist there must be down, for good to exist there must be evil.
This law is true and applies to everything, everyone and every place.
That you are not seeing an opposite in a particular place or time doesn't mean that it's not there...there's light in space but it's covered with darkness.

grin keep consoling yourself with that lie. We don’t share the same topography with SE grin

Your region is a red muddy erosion land, and largely undeveloped, I served in owerri and did my camp in Umuna bende Abia state’ grin so I know your region like the back of my palm cheesy

Non economical viable and that’s why both local and foreign investors are not investing in your region and also very hostile to non natives, but you can keep telling your sell that lie and comparing yourself with Arab…mgbeke feeling funky grin
For a person who claims to be educated, I believe you should know better.
There is no developed state or region anywhere in Nigeria...including your paradise Lagos state!
The country as a whole is underdeveloped, retrogressing and worsened by inhabitants who are are clannish and primitive in thinking.
People like you mistakenly believe that development is all about infrastructure but real development lies in the mentality of a people—the way they think! You can't have the mentality of a she goat and be claiming development no matter the infrastructure available!


For your information, I also served in a village called Igodan, located between Okitipupa and Igbokoda in Ondo State.
As a Nigerian from the Southeast, I provided free education, endured the worst kind of living conditions and faced hostility....
they even have this weird culture where your drink or food can be taken by anyone as you are drinking or eating without your permission, all they owe you is salutation and proceed to drink to their fill and leave
grin grin

It was in that community that I saw a pit toilet for the first time in my life and even witnessed someone fall into one full of feces.
Many of the houses were built with red mud and roofed with grass.

I used to think all Yorubas spoke the same dialect and understood each other, but I was shocked to discover that the people in that community spoke a completely different language—one that Yorubas from Lagos, Oyo, or Osun neither spoke nor understood.


I was also shocked to learn that the only drug store in the entire village was owned by an Igbo man. Which got me thinking. Imagine how many of the natives of Igodan would have died from treatable illnesses like malaria if that Igbo man hadn’t been there to provide antimalarial drugs. The Igbo man will naturally not also move to the community if there was a native already providing that service there

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣comfort zone really cracked me up😂😂😂😂 nwokem don’t lie to yourself, if your place was indeed comfortable you won’t have migrated to yorubaland.

People migrate to a more prosperous region for economic reasons and also security. If Sw was as hostile and undeveloped like your region, you won’t invest your so called money and make it home.

There is nothing comfortable about your region, which we know is one of the most terrorised region with daily killings and kidnappings and also the senseless sit at home nonsense.
First off, Geographically the Southeast and southwest both occupy the rain forest region of Nigeria.This simply means they share similar climate patterns and topographical features.
So there’s nothing fundamentally present in the southwest that's missing in the southeast.

The real reason why you'll find people from southeast in other parts of the country is the same reason Europeans, Arabs and American come to Africa, not because their home countries are undeveloped but because there are huge gaps and niches that must be filled.


Where the locals are not able to fill these gabs and see these gabs as frustration and systemic issues, migrants with capital and experience see viable business opportunities... markets to be served, properties to be developed, ideas to be introduced, markets to dominate and money to be made!
It's called entrepreneurship...that's the spirit that drive everyone you see outside their home state or country doing business or rendering a service—not poverty but vision cool
PoliticsRe: Nigeria: Much Ado About One-Party State - Temidayo Akinsuyi by shortgun(m):
Tinubu wants to destroy Nigeria with his insatiable greed. He is using state funds and authority today to coerce people and turn Nigeria into a one-party state.
His son Seyi is accused of stripping people naked, recording the heinous act and assaulting them for having a different opinion.
Nigerians are suffering from the worst forms of hunger, insecurity and hopelessness, yet what occupies the minds of Tinubu and his wicked supporters is spending billions of public funds erecting campaign billboards across the country.

Historically, the reassuring thing about reckless, careless leaders like Tinubu is that the people always win.

The tribalism is not about Nigerians. If there's any tribe that accepts everyone, its YORUBAS but the way I see it, we Yorubas have to rethink our ACCEPTANCE POLICY. Anybody can come over here to the west, buy Properties, marry and settle down but we hardly get same treatment outside our land. Now, the impostors WE ACCEPTED all these years are now beginning to INSULT US, ITS UNACCEPTABLE.
You guys always crack me up with that line whenever you bring it up.
Out of all the people you "ACCEPTED", how many did you offer free housing and meals when you "ACCEPTED" them?
Did you give any of them loan or grant to start their business?
It's wild how you expect someone who took a risk, invested their own money and moved out of their comfort zone to build a legal business without your help to owe you anything.

Seyi Tinubu does not have more privilege under the Constitution than the average Nigerian on the street but the corrupt forces that have kept the country poor and undeveloped for years will protect and shield him from facing the law.
One now wonders, what example is the president’s son setting for the youths of Nigeria? That you can commit heinous crimes and get away with it if you have corrupt forces behind you? or if you can buy them?
