^^^^ yoruba is bigger than small Nigeria, so e no even matta sef
I suggest you guys be more sensible and stop showing your obsession for yorubas so blatantly. Its crazy you love yoruba people like Soyinkas Felas and you love to write about people like Bode georger either way you love yorubas.

Me ohhh nothing comes to mind when i think about other tribes in Nigeria besides other babes to fu/ck seriously.

mekuslogan:
Kase Lawal is another thief. I will bring something on him now; hold on.

even if kase lawal be theif he is well supported in America

stop hating its not good for your blood pressure lol

I think some people are definately envious or bitter towards yorubas but thats their own problem. It doesnt and wont stop yorubas from producing more Felas, Ganis, Wole Soyinkas, Presidents of Togo, Presidents of Benin, Prime ministers in foreign contries, Billionaire business moguls - Kase Lawal, More Universities and hospitals in the west, The best Governor in Nigeria Fashola and co,
Being Yoruba is bigger than Nigeria PERIOD

So people can hate all they want but who knows them outside Nigeria by their ethnicity name? What other progressive Ethnicity crosses country boundaries with one identity besides yorubas? No matter how terrible people think yorubas are in Nigeria its only other Nigerian bitter tribes who show their obvious envy.
If theres a thousand yorubas who are terrible there will always be 3000 good ones.

Folks can hate all they want to, but it still does rewrite history and the most influential people in Nigeria and West Africa happend to be of yoruba ethnicity.

im even tired sef these are just small small MANY more
presidents (outside Nigeria), prime ministers, entertainers and co,

^^^^^^^ i quoted the wrong person it was meant for Aloy

Yes of course, the Olympios are yoruba and so are the Cruzs of west africa
They are of similar yoruba origin as Antonio deinde Fernandez and Lagos state former deputy govenor Pedro

hmmmm since when was being first president of a country not iconic?

mbulela:
Seun,
Please create a tribal column to save us from all these ethnic militants.
their assaults are wrecking this place.

you must be sick no where in this thread did i state anything about hatred for another tribe. The first 5 people were yabbing shit.

but hey e no matta just bring your female kin when you visit the west

[size=14pt][b]so where does yorubas being lazy and beggars come from if they own busses and business in

i give up igbo or yoruba i dont give a shit as long as im rich and have plenty of babes to have fun with

they sure received free education

ezeagu:
Back it up with fact, Fact: There are more threads and posts on nairaland attacking Igbo people (mostly Yoruba authors) than those attacking Yoruba people, stop lying.

I bet I can post more Igbo hating threads than you can Yoruba hating threads.

you think? name the yoruba tribalist who dey on NL- mind you the ones who bad mouth igbos directly

Nchara:
They are beggars because inspite of all that they do not want to spend money and buy land for their project or pay for their Hajj trips. They want free money from Enugu govt. That is lazy and beggarly. Not so?

no sounds like asking for something from the govt,

Thats like calling lobbyist and law makers in America, beggars for asking something from the govt

Nchara:
They are traders, tailors, workers in the civil service and in banks, in oil companies and other multinationals (for e.g., PZ in ABA, Nigerian Breweries Enugu), university lecturers, students, taxi drivers, police, soldier, navy, pastors. I know of many who are landlords with Igbos as their tenants. The biggest Single taxi business in Abia state is owned by a Yoruba

[size=15pt]so if they are all these in igboland, where does being lazy and beggars come from? just curious[/size]

So what so special about the west that makes igbos want to move there?
I really want to no know cause i hear igbos saying the west is dirty yorubas are lazy and co, but why keep moving there and leaving your OWN land? Lagos is not the capital(anymore) neither is Ibadan or Abeokuta etc,

Most yorubas leave the west its to go to Abuja or Abroad.

Yorubas are more tribalistic in ways of not giving a shit about other cultures- but they dont bad mouth igbos as much as igbos do yorubas.
Igbos are tribalist in a hater way no doubt, they love resulting to abusive name calling n BS, to make themselves feel better lol. The tribe that has the biggest haterz is the igbo NO doubt esp the males.

All of my offspring will be "yoruba" in no time there will be no other tribes left. lol
I love sex esp with chicks who arent yoruba its exotic, different, i feel alittle domineering as well

^^^^^^ lol who regards the yoruba race as being less respected and beggars beside the jealous and envious tribes that exist ONLY IN NIGERIA.
The other tribes in Nigeria simply dont matter, yorubas dont take time out to analyze and label other, cause they're simply not important.

Sylvanus Epiphanio Olympio first president of togo
Olympio served as the Prime Minister of Togo from 1958 to 1961, during which time he held elections to consolidate his power. He then served as the first President of Togo between 1961 and 1963, obtaining seats in an election that barred Nicolas Grunitzky's party. Opposition leaders, such as Anani Santos, Antoine Meatchi and Nicolas Gruntitzky were either jailed in Mango prison or exiled to Ghana and Benin. Using "Ablode Sodja" militia the President squashed political dissident.[citation needed].
During his presidency, Olympio pursued a pro-Western foreign policy. At one point, he visited the United States and had a friendly meeting with President John F. Kennedy. Togo maintained friendly relations with most of its neighbors, but relations with neighboring Ghana and its leader Kwame Nkrumah were consistently poor. Within the country, each state supported the other's dissidents.
