Where is Ilekeh? You won't find her in productive threads like this.

OnTheMoveWA:
Why do Igbos usually say "I dey go village"? I've never heard an Igbo say " hometown". A friend said it's because 90% of Igbos come from rural "autonomous" communities. On another day I struggled to explain to an Igbo friend that I'm not from a village, neither are my parents nor my grandparents. They all came from towns/cities that are centuries old.

Now to the topic,

1. Those born in the "villa".

2. Those born in "no man's land"

3. Those born in the zoo.


There was almost going to be a 4th category - those born in the Lagoon but that was prevented.

It took me 3 years of pains and losses to understand the rudiments of transport business. It took me indepth thinking and practice to understand real estate. Agriculture takes a long learning process of seasons and practices.

What i expect to see as comments on this thread is lacking. Rather, its Igbo this, Yoruba that. Nigerian youths are generally lazy, not of the strenght but of mental capacity.

No wonder this lack of perseverance makes us give up so easily in the face of difficulty. Success delayed is not success denied.

One funny things about the brain is that you see only what you what to see as an individual. what research did your so call yoruba man conduct that made him come to such conclusion. Oga before I entered trade fare I usually think is only igbo's that own stall/shops there that is based on the some many lies and false information your folks dish out to people who are not on ground to see things themselves. I

however when I started going there to get thing's, I noticed there are as much Yoruba's as igbo's who own stores there same thing with Ojo Alaba, and Alaba international. yet you come online to peddle ridiculous lies and conjecture of envy or jealous. why should I care of one igbo's man with a store doing petty trading. respect my culture, pay your tax and mind your business. if you default that when we put you where you belong. yoruba is too busy to hate one inconsequential tribe.

when ever there is a news about one igbo man caught stealing, or any anti social behaviour, does that mean all igbo are guilty of that offence? hope you get my point and if you don't then am afraid I can't help your ignorance.

list what igbo's man had achieved that a yoruba man has not achieve before him, you can't yet you keep ranting about one articles written by someone who called himself yoruba.


Now am starting to believe that some igbo's who believe that article is not capable of logical reasoning.

If this current S.E kids are like this, what happen to the next generation that will crop up in the next 10 years.

U guys must be stop.

SenseiX:
Not a fan of Buhari but the interviewer was rude. I still don't understand the fascination of Nigerian leaders with giving foreign media interviews at the expense of local media.
PS-When will Nigeria elect an eloquent and smart president like the Fasholas, Ribadus, Okonjos et al. Listen to Kenya's leader Uhuru Kenyatta speak and you'll certainly want to hear the point he is trying to make.

Kagawa10:
Lol! The same onenaira who was busy posting yeye pictures rather than answer the question?
Maybe it was an imaginary onenaira3 that explained the mystery!
Yeye people!

DelticStephEn:
I'm a girl not a boy though.
back to d topic.
that was what that idiot called Ossai was trying to do,he tried washing d brain of Anioma that we are Bini people.
he noticed no one was falling for his scam.
he decide to carve my own Ika as Bini people.
my happiness that day was that there was tens of us DAT day on d Facebook forum from ika who denied him and shut him down.
d idiot decided to create his own personal page where he and his rogue of a colleague will brainwash d gullible one.
but it was very unfortunate that non called for him.

homosapien:
I have lived in the life long enough to know people that hide behind social media to write gibberish. And am telling you to stop buttressing myopic view of one person who claim to be yoruba. as an adult you should be able to make empirical deductions devoid of sentimentality.

the difference between yorubas youths and biafrans is this....YORUBAS HAD EVRYTING HANDED TO THEM.....so over time they became lazy!!!!
1)The capital (then) was in there region,xo there region was developing at a fast rate
2)They have the only viable seaport in the country,which attracts foreign investors and increases IGR
3)Awolowo used mony he stole from Biafrans to sponsor free education for them
4)Awolowo used mony gotten Biafrans dead and alive, to buy shares for the yorubas
Awolowo practically handed evrything to them
I myt not like Awolowo but I respect him,he is the only yoruba leader that worked for his people
This thus back fired and made them LAZY
But when you come from biafra where all your seaports are closed,with oil pollution evrywhere,u practically have nothing from where u come from when u get to a place like lagos where business is booming mehn,u would try to conquer evrytin u see and when you get to the top,you do evrytin possible to stay there by empowering your kinsmen to the detriment of the locals
That's fact,life is a biitch,itz survival of the fittest

homosapien:
Seriously! so tell me the igbo's selling gala, viju milk, ice cream are far better than the Yoruba's doing conductor. I was taught as a child that, "there is dignity in labour" in as much as you not stealing.


It is only in the mind of you and your fellow igbo's that Yoruba's are not excelling economic activity. do you know how many professionals, successful businessman/woman I have just in my family alone not to talk of other families who are even more successful than we are. and thus is just a microscopic view of the Yoruba race.

to be honest with you, the bashing you see on the forum is not as a result of any envy or whatever you conjecture. the bashing is simply a transfer of aggression from the problems bewildering Nigeria as a country.


did anybody put gun on your head to fight war? surpassed. I reserve my comment. please note that if we are to go with your logic, Yoruba's are lazy, poor. so who patronize all your so called investment in south West? hope you won't say is those gala sellers.

Now let me educate you a little, all society's starting from feudal Lords, to socialism, communism and now capitalism is always divided between two stratum . the haves and those who don't have, the rich and the poor. so for every pictures coming out of the eastern part of Nigeria showing Yoruba's living in the ghetto, there also will be enough of such pictorial evidence showing igbo's living in the slump. so my brother is not a tribe thing, rather a Nigeria problem which you and I should look for solution and not all this meaningless discussion of one imaginary person envying or been jealous of whatever you think is your achievements.

Malawian:
honestly, i wondered if they did some kind of town hall meeting and planned that for us.

homosapien:
You don't have to say all Nigerians. simply tell me Lagos was developed by the igbo's. now which facts are you guys referring to? you mean to tell me all the Yoruba youth's are into omonile or all the mansions is own by igbo's or igbo's are the most hardworking tribe in the world. please if you want me to take you serious quote me with facts not fictions created by the igbo's to make themselves happy.

Kagawa10:
Lol!
Story story!
Why does the dein of Agbor put on Bini attires?
Yeye!

Kagawa10:
No, you got it upside down!
Ibos are migrant on Ika/Ukwuani land!
These people are neither Ibo nor Bini but simply, Ika and Ukwuanis! Ibos like you claiming these tribes should simply find his/her way either back to the Southeast or Asaba!
Yeye people!

lincolnj88:
pure conscience is wat we igbos have
Anambra donates to Idp
Imo donates to osun workers
Ebonyi donates to IdP in maiduguri
Okoroawusa to build school in adamawa for Idp
Ebonyi donates to troops......
We seemed to be the most generous....
Proudly igbo from anioma speaks d ndokwa dialect

lygn19:
mumu set of people, igbo man that only wore cap to a palace is accused of causing trouble, while a fulani man that boldly came to yoruba soil and kidnapped a prominent yoruba leader is being applauded why ur fools beat around the bush.

Our governor is working, though I believe Peter Obi laid the foundation for these achievements.

God bless Ndigbo.
God bless Nigeria.

Success indeed has many fathers, while failure remains an orphan!

homosapien:
I think the current problem is that igbo have a problem. if yoruba youth are lazy please how does that affect the igbo's you claim yoruba are envious and jealous. but the question is what are they envious or jealous of. tell me one achievement of an igbo man and I will list ten yoruba men who achieved same without any fuss of seeking attention.

hoobs:
I remember those days when my pops used to refer to me as "Nwokem",nwokem bia here!!!

Malawian:
i think the problem was awolowo making them think the igbo are their rivals. i will explain.
with the end of the war, as well as the imporvishment of the igbo, they did not feel any need to bucle up.
then there is the indigenization policy that just gave them money on a platter, i wonder if they even repayed the loans they used in buying up thoses multinationals then.

they settled down to party and to drink.

the thing with kids, they are only good at learning by observation. the present generation of yoruba youths learnt their trade by watching their fathers party away with abandon.

igbo youths on the other hand learnt the dignity of labour form their parents hell bent on recovering. my father made money so fast, we never lacked anything, in fact we even had a measure of luxury but he taught us stuff. i mean, they will deliberately starve us until 3pm on some days before we eat breakfast. some other times, we had to even 'work" for our feeding (by making us stay in my mamas shop - and we only eat after we have sold a certain amount of money). we are talking about the 80s when we already had a number of buildings to my fathers name, when he was already driving a V-Boot (a luxury car then) and my mother a 505.

they taught us fairplay. we were all made to eat from the same bowl. it was turn by turn all six of us (then) gatered around a mass of eba and soup. they will deliberately put only 4 piece of meat in the soup spo that we will share. the rule was who ever does the sharing of the meat will pick his/her piece the last.

those things are deliberate parenting skills they unleashed on us, in fact i was at a friends place only to see the guy using the same "agabari" for his children.

accross the fence, we will see even the mothers of our yoruba neighbours calling mama put to buy food for their kids.

i shudder at what the next generation of yoruba youths will be like.
