That's something to be proud of about the south south men,the Yorubas no doubt have achieved far more than any tribe in Nigeria,but you only hear an Important person's name and don't even know his siblings or relatives. Its true that Yorubas care only about their children rather than their family,by the time Yorubas grow into adulthood,they don't relate so well with their relatives,probably because problems do happen between family members A lot,their problem with people always start from their problem with their family members. You cant blame some sister,they must have been through a lot,like some believe their family was never there for them when they were nothing and start to rush them when they're successful,some believe some family members are ingrates,but those shouldn't be excuses,its always better to do something for the sake of God,those that are involved with their families in the money line are only doing business  like any 2 business men.
But those families you mentioned above got rich with the influence of their rich parents,it happens here too,like the Saraki family,Olusola Saraki made money and enriched his children(even though na stolen money) and he also enriched his children with strong spiritual powers too,

Adenuga was a taxi driver in US o!
Alakija was a fashion designer. It was her friendship with Maryam Babangida that brought her the money. Not so sure about Otedola though but I'm sure he didn't come from an influential background.

See, I know you want to defend your people but you need to accept that not all things about our tribes can be good. But be proud of your tribe all the same.

yorubatic:
My people have become too cowardly in this nigeria. ..they are now a laughing stock...they have shown the world that they are weaklings and O'yes to the Hausa / Fulani muslims. ..it is shame that my sophisticated and progressive people are a bunch of confused people who have no aspiration whatsoever. ..

It seems musiwa and I are the only brave people among our kins. ...musiwa want a western nigeria and I want a sophisticated and progressive Odu'a. ..but my coward folks want to keep being slaves to their Hausa / Fulani masters. ..

Let us that agitating for odua republic where there be no ibos, where lagos will not be no man's land...yorubas wake up. ...we can't remain cowards

My people should stop behaving like clowns ....God can deliver my people

Even the Igbos here know that you are NOT yoruba.

mcvaeey:
that's why we are advocating for true federalism and 100% resource control or our own Niger Delta republic not biafra. I love Nigeria and I want Nigeria to grow. I'm from Edo State and my hometown Oriohimwon is an oil producing community and I want to use my oil to develop my region and not another man's region. The oil in my land belongs to my people and not the north. Every state should develop at its own pace.

Thanks my dear. The bolded is the koko. We are not ripe enough to get our own country yet. We need to develop our areas first then identify the right leaders next before making such brash decisions.

Long live South South.
Long Live FRN.

iamrealdeji:
you're repping south cos the men over 40 drink?

Of course not. Just saying that I'm still proud of my region. Ogogoro and all.

But hey. Jonathan gave us a bad name. Someone like Pat Utomi or Donal Duke would have shown the world what real SS men are made of. They may be high on something a lot of times BUT they are smart, critical, fore-sighted people.
To prove this, look around other regions. It's very popular to see a very wealthy man whose siblings are just average or even just managing. These rich men like most black men don't enrich their families. They only care about themselves and their own children. Igbo men may give their brothers money to start up shop but they hardly follow up on their businesses. Most yorubas are even worse. Where are Otedola, Adenuga, Alakija's siblings? Hausas help their siblings but not as much.

But check out SS families. The Ibrus, the Bruce brothers, The Iboris (yeah I know na stolen wealth) the Igbinedions, the Dukes (Royal family) in Calabar. The Nkpubures in Akwa-Ibom, and many more.

We are silent achievers and yes we have good taste too.
My prayer is that we are given another chance in Nigeria in the not too distant future.

anumide:
Hausa girls no dey fine like that o, except if they have mixed parentage. them they black one kain black like that. Fulani girls are the real deal

Yeah. But when people say Hausa, they are referring to the whole North.

ladyF:
Hmmmm Kano is the only northern state? Hausa girls are fine...list isn't a true reflection of reality...

As in ehn! Go to ABU Zaria and see mami waters!
The only Southern states that can match them are Cross River, Imo, and Lagos as per different states are all in Lagos.

Austin4lif:
if he had provided swam water or table water to his people, gullible minds like u will still complain that he is being sectional.

That's rich coming from you

Austin4lif:
I remember those days in school, south south guys will not allow us rest by arguing that they are marginalized by not allowing them to rule Nigeria. Nigeria gave GEJ to rule and they helped in sending him away. My question is that can we say SS people did nt behave foolishly? Cos the never supported their Son fully. Even if Buhari stole the whole of Nigeria, the average Hausa man will not insult him. My own opinion, SS will never Rule Nigeria again.

And what are you trying to say? That we should have blindly supported him even though he didn't even deem it fit to provide portable water for his home town?
Well thank God we are much smarter! Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeew.



I don't know why some people prefer to die of ethnic poison. So we should have held on to Jona for dear life because we don't have the likes of Pat Utomi, Donald Duke and even Akpabio sef to give us a better reputation in Nigeria? When I keep praising Yoruba politics some people still won't understand. OBJ's worst critics were Yorubas dammit! Haba! Gosh!

There are Private schools and there are private schools. op is definitely talking about the below N50k school fees private school. Some schools pay as much as N1.5m and above per term. Those ones don't joke with the quality of their teachers and you can bet that they pay them really good.

Judging from comments here, NL is filled with unexposed people sha. Some people don't just go out at all.

ibedun:
You are a true political IGBO man, emotional to the core. No sense whatsoever Mr Wailer. Jonathan and the fat puff puff face minister of economic coordination will rot in Jail. Where is Asari Dokubo now after making as much rubbish threats before the change of government?

Exactly. They are soooooo emotional. So melodramatic. Sometimes I feel maybe we should just go easy on them cos it really may be really really really hard for them.

kernel501:
Jonathan was fair to us, and so... We will protect him with any means necessary.
We are not bluffing, we dare Buhari to probe only Jonathan's administration and watch the end come of him, is a promise.

Probe all of them, not just him alone.

HOW was Jonathan fair to SE. I really really really need to know and understand the EXACT reason for this melodrama. I'm intrigued!

fulanimafia:
That one even looks like Russian Select Vodka, the devils saliva itself.

No wonder he forgot they were fetching water from a soak-way in Otuoke

Abeg leave my Jona o.

fulanimafia:
That my friend, is a bottle of Hennessey Cognac (40% alcohol) Jona is guzzling.

There are 3 bottles there o. One even looks like full spirit.

olaafirst:
He prefer ogogoro Dan all dis one now

That's not Moet o. Na hot drink be dis. Look at the bottles well.

sdindan:
so everything drinkable now is an alcohol.
You pple should leave this man alone.

No o it's not alcohol na. Na Ribeana. Can't you see the bottle?

90% of South South men who are not Pastors and over 40 years dey shack. Leave matter.

Proudly South South though. Repping Oron Nation.

pharmow:
The first thing I did after opening this thread is to see the tribe of the young brain. I'm so glad he is neither yoruba nor igbo. Had it mean he's from either tribe I would have left the thread without any comment because I know it's just a matter of time before tribal bashing starts. And I'm tired of the tribal bashing sh.it
Like I said in one of my comments, the mistake most of we southeners make is to believe Hausa people are not educated. Though in comparison, it is true that the number of southerners that have western education outweighs those of the northerners but the few northerners that do go to school always do well. I dont know how important this is until i traveled outside the country. Everyone cannot be a degree holder, some people should do skilled trade while some other people follow whatever they are talented in. I believe this is the way a normal society should be.

NB: One of the bane of naija problem is the fierce rival between the 2 major tribes of Yoruba and Igbo. Only if both can work for selfless interest of naija development. I know I will get bashed for this comment but this to you my friends is the truth.

Guy, walk into any bar and order what you like, I will pay.

Make who no like am go do excursion for Lagoon.

I'm so sorry guys. I just had to do this having laughed my lungs out this evening on seeing this photo.
@Ruben Abati, I guess he was drinking Ribeana here?

It's stress.

dinachi:
As usual your,embarrassingly naivety and pathetic ignorance shows itself again. How old are you? I am forced to ask this question because if you believe you an an adult with this kind of extremely childish reasoning then it were better your parents die of HIV/Aids than they had you!
It is because of idiotic nincompoops like you that other tribes laugh at us.
Your foolishness knows no bounds.
The same Ijaws you are fighting for joined hands with Nigeria to defeat Biafra during the civil war. The same Ijaws in Bayelsa state gave Ojukwu only 3 votes when he was contesting for presidency in 2003! In that same election they voted overwhelmingly for Obasanjo a Yoruba man and you are here spewing rubbish about Ijaw people. You are eternally cursed with foolishness if you think that Ijaws like you! When Dr Alex Ekwueme the then former vice president was arrested and being investigated for fraud by Buharis military government in 1984,how many Ijaw people spoke in Ekwuemes support, foolish fool?
Imbecilitic morons like you should be drawn and quartered for making Igbos look foolish.

I need more Igbos like you on social media. Where the hell are y'all rational Igbos? Please stop keeping quiet so people don't conclude that it is majority of you that are bigots. Speak up!
Big ups bro!

dinachi:
Igbosdarebuharitoprobeourjonathan while Ijaw stay by the sidelines and laugh at the most politically foolish tribes. At the end Ijaws will get what they want and the foolish Igbos will go back with nothing pointing accusing fingers at everybody except,themselves. The Hausas and Yorubas are leading Nigeria now and even the Ijaws are showing deep maturity about how they carry themselves. Very soon, the Igbos will loose their position to the Ijaws and the political lexicon will start to only recognize Hausa Yoruba and Ijaws leaving the foolish Igbos to battle for position with other minority tribes. I pray my Igbo brothers wakes up before it is too late.

Lmao!
Very soon their eye go clear. Just take it from me, if APC wins the elections in Bayelsa, Delta will follow suit, then Cross river and Akwa-Ibom (most likely Oron state will be carved out if PDP keeps refusing to include us in State affairs) because other SS states will not want to carry last. It's either their Governors will decamp or they will be overthrown, most especially the non-performing ones. Like play like play, SE will find that they are OYO in their us-against-the-world campaign.

softvio:
I wonder the profit of showing that your tribe is greater than others. You all act as if you tell the creator to hail from a certain tribe.. Well as for me, i love a variety of people from different tribes like igbo,hausa,yoruba,ijaw,ibibio,ikwerre and so on...OP thanks for this.

bigerboy200:
your admiration of these people isn't worth the shit of a cow.. who do u even think u are?? u are irrelevant in the space of intellectuals.. Tribal bigot with no sense of direction..shouting GEJ till 2019 today and shouting Biafra tomorrow.. confused mofo...Take ur admiration and shove it up ur ass..nonsense.

Haba! Just appreciate him for this thread only na

wytecat:
Nice job of calm before the storm. It's been long since Ibos had other sing their praises, what a better way to get one now, as the empty barrel engine needs some oiling.

I really hope no Yoruba takes the bait and tries to open a counter thread to make Ibos feel good.

I don't admire any ibo, and will never admire one, you are too poisonous, hateful and psychotic.

This is not nice. A thread was opened to celebrate Yorubas. Appreciate it or just move on to the next thread. The op might be a bigot but not all Igbos are bigots.
Some are too nice, smart, rational, etc.

Every tribe has their bigots too you know...

atbu1983:
You this Igbo imposter. You are Igbo. you created a profile 2 days ago, to indirectly support Biafra by impersonating as Yoruba. Your fake propaganda has failed.

I think I agree with you. He's not Yoruba. If you notice he's been insulting both SS and SE in a deliberate attempt to unite us against the Yorubas.

NL tribalists are crazy sha. Awon omo oloshi jati jati.
Truly jobless people are the devils workshop. Fear them!

Do you know the funny thing?
The same mob voted/fought for GEJ.

Africans! Nigerians! Na real wa for una o!

laudate:
Babe, how you dey??

I dey kampe! I dey groove now

laudate:
What makes him a hypocrite?

When Boko Haram decides to strike, do you think they will ask if you are a Northerner or a Southerner before killing you? Do you know how many muslim and Christian Northerners also lost their lives during riots in the North??

Do you know how many Northerners have been killed by Boko Haram?

Why cant you educate yourself? Honestly, ignorance is a problem...I pray you receive enlightenment someday.

When OMATA boys were causing riots and mayhem in Onitsha some years ago and some Igbo people lost their lives, would you say that all Igbo people are uneducated thugs, who are experts in street-fighting?? When prominent Igbo sons and daughters were being abducted by kidnappers sometime ago, would you say all Igbo people are kidnappers, or that kidnapping is an industry in the South-East??

When the Area Boys of Lagos attack traders in Idumota, and loot property and shops during riots in addition to causing bodily harm and deaths, would you say all Yoruba people are unruly??

One big bottle of orijin for you jare.

Thanks op. I'm always trying to explain this to people.
Northern Nigeria is a beautiful place. I remember arriving Kaduna as a corper. I was very ashamed of the negative notions I had about the place! I have never been more welcomed anywhere else in Nigeria. I cried the day I was going back to Lagos. This is why I'm a firm believer of NYSC.

NaijaForLyf Jare!
