Who is stopping Yoruba artisans, craftsmen, traders etc from motivating their youths to embrace apprenticeship, learn under them so that wealth can be devolved? Has any other tribe stopped a Yoruba youth from going into apprenticeship under a fellow Yoruba, who have mastered hos or her skills?

Back in the early 80s, my mother's younger brother (we are from Imo) was given to one of our tenants who was an Anambra man who had then recently been settled by his own "master". The man told my parents that boys from Imo state were not known to have the humility to serve oga for 8 years as they tend to lean more to education, civil service jobs etc, my parents assured him of my uncle's readiness to abide by his rules, that is how my uncle became one of the early set of Imo men who did spare parts sales apprenticeship in Idumota, Lagos while sons of the Yoruba owners of the places where they had their shops in Idumota back then were not interested in learning such trade but were focused on collecting the easy money of taxing the igbo traders for offloading their goods.....my uncle presence, inspired a lot families from Imo state to allow their sons go into spare parts sales apprenticeship in Idumota and endured 7-8 years of highs and lows before they got settled.

EXACTLY!
HENCE YORUBA JOBS FOR YOURBA FOLKS!

Cosharis Lagos is a business owned by an Igbo man, are all the staff igbos?.....You need go there to see those who work in the show rooms up to the garages where their cars are being repaired.

The Sun newspaper is owned by Orji Uzor Kalu, Mike Awoyinfa was the pioneer Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun. it also had Femi Adesina as Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief up till 2015 when Buhari appointed him to be his media man.

In terms of business partnership, the popular Eko Hospital was set up by three medical doctors, Alexander Eneli, Sunday Kuku, and Augustine Obiora (2 igbos and a Yoruba).

You are free to restrict employing only people from your village, home town and state to work in your businesses......no one would query you because I no go follow you share in your profit.

Personally I think every Yoruba that has figured life out has a duty to mentor a Yoruba kid and I am unapologetic about stances like that, I am a VERY proud 'tribalist'
All these cocharis u are mentioning doesn't take away from the fact that the apprenticeship system strictly excludes non Igbos, yet nobody even gives it a second thought but Yorubas talk about uplifting themself and then it becomes we are all Nigerians and until Nigeria breaks we must never look out for self!

Mindlog:
If you go to many building sites in the South East, majority of the guys handling the roofing are Yorubas who have fellow Yorubas as the majority of their apprentices and the building owners are not bothered where the apprentices are from, you have been highly referred....deliver the project. So why should anyone be bothered about you transferring skills to someone from your place who is willing to learn?

Fayose back then when he was Governor, talked about sending unemployed Ekiti youths to the East for apprenticeship as he recognized the system has helped many igbos in being self-reliant.

You are talking off point!
The fact is that the locals don't really benefit from Igbo businesses employment-wise because the wealth is designed to stay within the ethnic group,
My question is why can't two play that game ?
Or is it just limited to the Igbos?

Mindlog:
There is only ONE CITIZEN, a Nigerian.

Where a Governor has total influence on employment is in the civil service, how many workers can a state government employ without having a bloated civil service?

The private sector employs more than the state governments and that is where the competition as it stresses more on your competence not where you come from because profit needs to be made.

Let's talk about the private sector then, majority of Igbo owned businesses employs Igbos, it's called an apprenticeship model (but I call it 'igbo jobs for Igbo folks') and it plays out in markets, offices and stalls all over Nigeria, it is greatly hailed by igbos and it seems to be clearly working in preserving the cash flow among the intended beneficiaries.
My question is would you be against Yorubas embarking on similar economic endeavour?
Or is that being a tribal bigot?

Mindlog:
A migrant in this context, is a non-Nigerian but when the non-Nigerian is the available labour, he/she has to be employed just like as we have the Togolese and Beninoise tilers in many construction sites across Nigeria, no be dem stop Nigerian Youths from getting skilled in tiling.

Bros, a governor in one state is not responsible for citizens of another state IN THE SAME COUNTRY!
So also a governor/region should prioritise it's indigenous people!!

Mindlog:
You can't even explain in your own words, what "Yoruba jobs" means.

It means indigenous employment must be prioritised over cheap migrant workers! (In a nutshell)

Mindlog:
Interpret what "Yoruba jobs" mean.

But why does it bother you so much?
If you live in the SW then u should know what Yoruba jobs means,
If you don't then it shouldn't even bother you

princeemma69:
mention an school that gives [b][/b]90% admission discounts to indigenous people

Oga, saying Yoruba first in Yorubaland shouldn't cause emotions to run high!

Ogene001:
Form a separate country, until then, live with the reality of igbo competition

You always have to be the victim!
You are not the only people in the damnn country!

Armaggedon:
Ghana is a sovereign state. So called self preservation starts with self determination .

Self preservation takes various forms, you have to first preserve SELF so there is something worth fighting for

Mindlog:
So you mean even private businesses in Lagos owned by non-Yorubas MUST have Yorubas as 90% of its workforce?

That is ur own silly interpretation,
The guy said Yoruba jobs , not Nigerian jobs, not niger delta jobs, not south east jobs!

It's called self preservation!
That is why Ghanaians chased Nigerians eroding their citizens economic cut!
It's like faulting universities that give a discount to indigenous students!

Osibanjo!
Just go!!!

Una don dey take am too far!

The story doesn't really compute!

successmatters:
This man almost did everything right in his life, but is ending very badly on the wrong side of history. He will be remembered for supporting killers and looters.

Old age changes a lot of people.

So sad.

And Obi that was vice to Atiku is 'he who must not be criticized '

Una just decide to lie to una self

mrvitalis:
Lmao yes south south minorities betrayed igbos .... but who instigated the hate ?

From spiff to Sato wiwa , to elechi amadi who instigated them ? Was it not Yoruba media propaganda? ...they systematically took over the jobs in the oil and gas sector with northerners

Back to Lagos ....the question is could Yorubas have taken Igbo properties even if they wanted to ? Thats the Koko and the answer is no

Lagos was controlled by Gowon and him allowing that to happen in Lagos would have proven ojukwu was right after all and he would lose his foreign backers ... and Nigeria Vs Igbos without foreign backers have one winner which is the Igbos

ofcourse it can never be ur fault!
na always another person fault!

His real name is Habeeb Damilola Obatala from Ile Ife,
When he had an accident with a blade at 14 years old, Tinubu donated blood to him, even sat by his bed and sang him lullabies!

NO INTERIM GOVT

The national anthem go reach Lagos, no too rush

Yoruba is bigger than Nigeria!

Naija is filled to the brim with dummies,
APC, PDP, LP

I have said it a million times, wealthy people can't afford to be ethnic jingoist

KIKIKIKI

LMAO
What type of reverse pyschology is this?

Why site Ibadan as an example?
Why not where she comes from??

Enough already!

All of them be were

WhereMyLoud:
Tinubu dont care about the so called lagosian he claimed to love
.

Brt bus was hit by a train.. No word of condolense.

Ogboni Man is using the blood of lagosian to help him in the court case.. Sacrifice of prayer to God is stronger.

He will never be called President.. President elect is okay for him

If ur tribe had a Tinubu, we both know u won't let anybody touch him, especially if he brought a port to ur village!
So fukkk off

Because the population has abandoned them

Ceenachi:
No be him whisper Importer and exporter into Tinubus ears during campaign in Lagos

It will be of pain to me if lagosians should vote this man again.
I wished they could remember how this man denied them during endsars..
How he was mute when people were killed..
His only speech was "there wasn't any record of injured or death during the protest".

The man is nothing but a wolf in a sheep clothings.!

What sort of Punishment is replacing Sanwo-Olu with some novice ?
