Realman87:
I should list industries to prove what? I take no pride in trying to convince you. Continue in your delusion. When I was doing my nysc, 70% of yoruba graduates couldn't speak correct English. That is how low the yorubas have sunk. Now if you own an industry, will you employ such a graduate? Or will Federal agencies and multinationals employ them. Yoruba ronu.

Shiiiiiisss

I think,i have an answer to your mmumuuiiish question.

Oya take :

They said they have more middle class yet SW has the least poverty rate in Nigeria.

http://www.dataforall.org/dashboard/ophi/index.php/

They claim they have more SMEs yet Oyo has more SMEs than all SE states.


http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/pdfuploads/SMEDAN%202013_Selected%20Tables.pdf

IPODS yoots be like...our bubble don burst

ODVanguard:
Yimu. List these Igbo-controlled restaurants and caterings that are bigger than the Yoruba-owned Chicken Republic, Tantalizers, Tasty Fried Chicken, or Sweet Sensation, that are Igbo owned.

While you're at it, also list those Igbo-owned Industries in Lagos and the SW you keep bragging about please.

Are the likes of Honeywell Flour Mills, GZI Industries, ProForce, Elizade, Bi-Courtney, Eleganza Group, Folawiyo Group, Petro Inett, Modandola Group, Manucom Fishing, Aiico Insurance, the Yoruba-owned banks, Insurance Companies, e.t.c. Even SME's (interestingly, after Lagos state, Oyo has the highest number of SME's in the country, higher than any SE state) we are comfortably in the lead. You know what SME's stand for right? And how many individuals you must employ to qualify as one?) all located in Yorubaland. I am waiting for those Igbo Big Businesses in Lagos and the SW (not 'pure water' ones o) that are more than Yoruba owned ones, and that give you all the ballz to brag.

http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/pdfuploads/SMEDAN%202013_Selected%20Tables.pdf


Also kindly List the number of Insurance companies players that are Igbo-owned dominating Yorubaland or Nigeria in general.

Which Igbo-owned investment comes close to LADOL in Lagos?

List the Banks that Igbos dominate that are more than the Yoruba-dominated/controlled Skye Bank, First Bank, Sterling Bank, GTBank, FCMB,

List the Telecoms Company that are Igbo-owned/dominated like Yoruba-owned/controlled Globacom and NTel

List the I.T businesses that are Igbo dominated that can stand the likes of Spectranet, CCHub, MainOne

Which Igbo-owned businesses can match the dominance of Yoruba-controlled Oando, ConOil, and Forte Oil?

The only Transport segment Igbos dominate is that of buses that convey their kinsmen between YOrubaland and the SE. Yorubas control the SW internal routes, e.g. When I take a bus from Lagos to Abeokuta of Ibadan, 9 out of 10 times the owner of the Bus is a Yorubaman and not an Igboman, so get your facts straight.

In a nutshell, Yorubas already dominate the Big Businesses and industries that count, e.g Finance, Oil & Gas, I.T, Telecoms, Insurance, Manufacturing & Industry, e.t.c. It would be unfair of us to dominate everything so we've left them the crumbs like dominating the Super-Eagles, Gala Hawking , spare-parts bizness, Selling DVD/VCD at Alaba, Entertainment (though Yorubas dominate the Music scene, while we comfortably have our indigeneous industry on lockdown as well ), transporting your kinsmen to-and-from the SE to Yorubaland, e.t.c. Your people can keep dominating those. But even Commerce sef dem don dey dump that one for drug-trafficking. cheesy

Smh.

See upper cut.

I think we should post this fact right there : on facebook,twitter, NL,news paper,blogs et al.
We must never relent and never quit exposin those delusional IPODS..

[size=14pt]Yoruba Youths Have Lost Influence, Respect Of Nigerians[/size]

Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence?

Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled “Dwindling Oil Revenue: What Next for Nigeria?” posited that today, despite the pitiful state of unemployment in Nigeria, ironically, the nation is still rated as the third destination of investors and one of the fastest-growing economy in the world. Raji noted that Nigeria is a golden land of numerous opportunities for those who are resourceful, ingenious, creative, innovative, inventive, groundbreaking, enterprising, hardworking, focused, visionary and, most significantly, disciplined.

Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today. I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth. The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities. The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos. More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas. Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners. The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops. Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths. Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity.

I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease. Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively. In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013.

The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D’Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself. Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son’s expected defeat. Victorious Buhari’s teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman. In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.

Movic1:
I want to speak/write about the controversial Open Letter To Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu which hundreds of people have posted on Nairaland,thousands have shared it on Facebook/twitter. Many blogger have published it on their blog.

This morning Vanguard Newspaper also published it on their site. But the funny part of the letter is that it has many Authors with Yoruba Names like Bayo,tunde etc.. Vanguard author was Morakinyo James Tunde While others are Adebayo Adeyinka, Babatunde Aderibigbe etc.

Addressing the letter.

Although there are many critical aspects in the letter that the Yorubas have to address. But the entire letter is just a hogwash.


Point 1


The writer wrote about true federalism/Biafra.

Many yorubas leaders have been fighting for true federalism in Nigeria, Even the almighty Asiwaju is not left out. Few days ago, we celebrated June 12 ,many prominent leaders call for Regionalism in several occassions used to celebrate the day.

The writers in his letter wrote, From lagos to ilorin, the yorubas can't survive while comparing he boldly stated that the Igbo nation will survive if they are to get their biafra but the yorubas cant even if you give them oduduwa Republic.

We all know those who are agitating,they can go any length to fool some gullible ones.

Point 2

Manufacturing companies/Industries
The reason why i won't go deep here is that the writer flopped in his letter.
According to his letter, From lagos to Kwara,Yorubas in their large numbers own less than 5% of the total manufacturing companies.He went forward claiming that, more than 70% of the manufacturing major industries in the Lagos State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. I laughed and ask,What about the almighty Chinese,lebanese,Indians and others? If they owned more the 70% so the Chinese,lebanese and indians are sharing between 30% while the yorubas owned 0%. Won't the chinese,lebanese and indians be so foolish if they have 70% of Investment outside their country? The igbos own 70% but they have failed to show/proof it in their various states.

We all know those that usually shout/mourn these words, We own lagos, Without Us lagos is nothing. My brothers this is another one in disguise


About the housing structure/Estate he said the Yoruba nation is pathetic, it hinterland are still largely rural. Even some state capitals in yoruba land are villages when you compare them to towns in the South East. I keep asking myself, Why is this writer always comparing SW to SE. He asked how many new estates have been built in yorubaland over the last decade? I asked is this Guy Upgrading his brain?

My Brother,we all know those who usually Spam the whole of Nairaland with old ibadan city pictures in comparison to/with the beautiful side of their towns down East. Don't be fooled.

For him to say Yorubas control the media only, I give Up on this igbo guy.

OP, don't even stress it at all.

I will leave you with this,by..and I quote :

OmoAjowa7:


I tire oooo. I told one of dem pure-wattah sprinters to open a thread and mention the so-called Gigbo businesses in Lagos.The Olosh ran away.
I've told them as long as people like us are online, we go continue to dey use pankere on them. They should keep that garbage
in their Biafra facebook pages or continue to selling it to the ignorant Yorubas not people like us. They keep "tetra-paking"
those 2x2 stores as businesses and as the engine of the economy

The Youngest Billionaires in Nigeria, 2 are yorubas, the third one is half Yoruba. Sujibomi Ogundele- Sujimoto group
Ladi Delano- Bakrie Delano and Igho Sanomi

Forbes list. 3 yorubas feature out the 5 on the list

They said they have more middle class yet SW has the least poverty rate in Nigeria.

They claim they have more SMEs yet Oyo has more SMEs than all SE states.

Awón elenu lasan!

Just at the mere mention of Biaf... or NK terrible tremor travel down the spines of these frustrated IPOO miscreants from Wasteland, causing spasmic convulsions that have them spluttering spits everywhere.
Little wonder they miserably earn a living on pay-per-post basis trying in vain to stop the raging IPOB tsunami movement...

When a people out of cowardice pledges allegiance to slavery, the choice of freedom of expression becomes an aberration! 

"By the time the Europeans came, even the Yoruba people, did not even learn how to live with each other, they were fighting and all over the north, they were fighting everywhere, there were tribal wars."
I just remember only recently the Yoruba leaders said they want to break, break from where. The Yoruba are probably the people who economically enjoy Nigeria more than anybody, economically. So why are they going?" 
- Mallam Adamu Ciroma

ODVanguard:
Lol. Did you see the list he brought up of where his people are 'dominating'?? Na only 'pure water businesses' e fit mention.

Spare Parts business?? Lol. Yoruba boys dominating the I.T landscape in Nigeria are earning far more than those 2x2 boys, raising millions of dollars, while those Ladipo boys are fast dumping the trade for Drug-trafficking since it's no longer 'paying'.

He also said "Politically the Igbos and Hausas are more United than Yorubas". Yeah, by Suyanizing them at Enugu.

Yorubas already dominate the Big Businesses and industries that count, e.g Finance, Oil & Gas, I.T, Telecoms, Insurance, Manufacturing & Industry, e.t.c. It would be unfair for us to dominate everything so we've left them the crumbs like dominating the Super-Eagles, Gala Hawking , Selling DVD/VCD at Alaba, Transporting their kinsmen to-and-from the SE to Yorubaland, e.t.c. They can keep dominating those. Even Commerce sef dem don dey dump that one for drug-trafficking.

- Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. 


The areas Yorubas usually perform excellently in are viz.:

- Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas.

- Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land

- The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government.

PAINGAIN:
you want tinubu to lead you out of nigeria and yet you ridicule ipob and trash talk biafra. The writer of that letter and as well as every other non nairaland yoruba person know that igbos take the lead in nigeria. I like yoruba people and none of them has ever wronged me but i still don't understand why they still want one nigeria when they could easily pitch tent with the igbos and leave hausas in their nigeria.

Oh rally? In what area exactly, please with fact,ok?

Ojukwu is a bloody coward that ran away in the middle of the war he started. A gallant general would have committed suicide when defeat became imminent. He led others to their death but ran away when it was obvious he was about to be captured. He is a good example of how to be a coward general.

....and ended up killing 3million ibos ,only to be pardoned(begged) nigeria gov and repatriated back to the same nigeria he fought ooo and become what.....

hammerT:
No wonder they insult and condemn people standing up for their right even at point of death and actual murder.

Igbo Military Officers are known world wide for bravery. Even in the USA.

Oh really? Perhaps an example of ibo bravery will do

abhosts:
The Banks have been setting their own rates since the Naira Decline Started.

All this Grammar just to tell us things would remain the same.

Not really.
This is a common sense.
If demand is high and the banks sell rate is low demands will reduce because we would all(individuals) rather sell at higher price and buy at lower price.

The logic here is :

Many will be force to import dollars instead of buying, and that? Will Increase nigeria foreign reserve and create a balance.

This is good news!

I saw this great piece somewhere I think it is worth sharing. thus; my dear Asiwaju,
I am compelled to write this open letter to you because of the state of affairs of the Yoruba nation. Firstly, I wish to acknowledge that fate has put you in a prime position to determine to a large extent the direction that the Yoruba people will go. The indisputable truth is that one may quarrel with your politics but your sagacity is never in doubt. Even those who don't see eye to eye with you agree that you are imbued with unusual native intelligence, uncommon people skills and unrivaled foresight. You, more than any other person, has been the game changer since the advent of democracy in 1999. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to direct this letter to you.
My singular purpose is to tug at the strings of your heart. I am not writing to appeal to partisan considerations but to see, if per chance, I can pour out my heart to you in a manner of speaking. God has blessed you even beyond your wildest imagination. You have installed Senators and Governors. You have removed Governors and even a President. You have also installed a President. There is nothing you have wished for or desired that you didn't get. Fortune has smiled on you. Goodwill follows you everywhere you go. You have done very well- more than most men ever will. However, there is one area that is begging for your urgent attention. This area may well define you and all you have ever achieved. This matter, in my opinion, is the only difference between you and the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Let me restate for the purpose of emphasis that this is the area in which the late sage and Leader of the Yorubas stand head and shoulders above you. It is the reason his name has been a constant denominator in our regional and national politics. It is the reason politicians, friends and foes invoke his name for political advantage and personal glory. It is also the reason why we can't stop talking about him almost thirty years after his death. What will anyone say about you thirty years after you have transited?
Asiwaju Sir, you may be wondering what I'm talking about? It is the issue of legacy. According to Peter Strople, 'Legacy is not leaving something for people, it is leaving something in people'. Legacy is building something that outlives you. Legacy is greater than currency. In the words of Leonard Sweet, ' What you do is your history. What you set in motion is your legacy'. You can't live forever, Sir. No one can. But you can create something that will. Enough of speaking in parables- I shall now speak plainly.
When destiny brought you on the scene, we were enamoured because you championed the case for true federalism. It was your belief then that the Yoruba nation will fare better under a restructured arrangement than under the type of unitary government we run while pretending by calling it a federal government. Everyone knows that there is nothing federal about our government at all. If truth must be told, the Yoruba nation has fared very badly since the advent of our new democracy. And this is not about holding power at the centre.
Let me bring this home: someone passed a comment recently that he would want Biafra to become a reality because he knows the Igbo nation will survive. That comment led me to deeper introspection as I wondered if the Yorubas can truly survive. Let me cite my first example. From Oyo to Osun, Ogun to Ondo, Ekiti to Kwara and Lagos, hardly will one see any serious industry or manufacturing concern owned by a Yoruba person. I am not talking about portfolio businesses or one-man business concerns. Most industries in Oyo State are owned by the Lebanese. The native business and industry gurus who dominated the landscape- Nathaniel Idowu, Amos Adegoke, Lekan Salami, Alao Arisekola, Adeola Odutola, Jimoh Odutola, Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni and others- are all gone with no credible replacements. I'm sure you remember the tyre factory of the Odutolas and how Jimoh Odutola was even asked by the Governments of Kenya and Ghana to set up a similar factory in their countries. Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni, popularly called T.A Oni & Sons started the first indigenous construction company in Nigeria. He willed his residence- Goodwill House, to the Oyo/Western state government, to be used as a Paediatric Hospital, which is now known as T.A Oni Memorial Children Hospital at Ring Road in Ibadan. This sprawling family Estate and residence was cited on a 15acre piece of land, 65 rooms, with modern conveniences, Olympic Swimming Pool and stable for Horses, etc.
People like Chief Bode Akindele started companies like Standard Breweries and Dr Pepper Soft drink factory at Alomaja in Ibadan. Broking House built by the late Femi Johnson, an insurance magnate, still stands glittering in the mid-day sun as an epitome to a rich history that Ibadan has. The most serious and only notable Yoruba entrepreneur we have now is Michael Adenuga. I say this quite consciously because most of the other names are oil and gas barons. Most of what stood as testaments of industry in Oyo State are gone- Exide Batteries, Leyland Autos and many others. In its place are shopping malls and road side markets but no nation develops through buying and selling alone- especially when you're not actually producing what you're selling. Hypermarkets and supermarkets have taken over because of the need to feed our insatiable consumer-appetite and foreign tastes. In one instance, an ancient landmark in the form of a hotel was demolished to pave way for a mall. That is how low we have sunk. If our past is better than our present- if we always look back with nostalgia frequently, then there is a problem.
The case of other states is not different. Osun's case is pathetic. Ditto for Ondo and Ekiti. Ogun State can boast of some factories at Sango-Otta and Agbara axis but most of them are not owned by the Yorubas. There is no significant pharmaceutical company owned by any Yoruba except for Bond Chemicals in Awe, Oyo State- and its wallet share is very insignificant. For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don't forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective.
Asiwaju, I will like to also talk about the state of education in the Yoruba nation. Our education has gone to the dogs. We have a bunch of mis-educated and ill-educated young men and women roaming the streets. Ibadan, for instance, had the first University in Nigeria and the first set of research centres in Nigeria ( The Forestry Research Institute, the Cocoa Research Institute (CRIN), The Nigerian Cereal Research Institute Moor Plantation (NCRI), the NIHORT (Nigerian Institute of Horticultural Research), the NISER (Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research), IAR&T (Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training), amongst several others). Ibadan was the bastion of scholarship with people like Wole Soyinka, JP Clark, D.O Fagunwa and Amos Tutuola as residents. In the May/June 2015 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, Abia came tops. Anambra came 2nd while Edo was 3rd. Lagos placed 6th while Osun and Oyo was 29th and 26th. Ekiti was 11th, Ondo State was 13th and Ogun State was 19th. In 2013 WASSCE, only Lagos and Ogun States were the Yoruba States above the national average. If we do an analysis of how Lagos placed 6th in 2015, you will discover that it was substantially because of other nationalities resident in Lagos. For proof, please look no further than the winners of the Spelling Bee competition which has produced One-Day Governors in Lagos State. Since inception in 2001, other nationalities have won the competition six times (Ebuka Anisiobi in 2001, Ovuwhore Etiti in 2002, Abundance Ikechukwu in 2006, Daniel Osunbor in 2008, Akpakpan Iniodu Jones in 2011 and Lilian Ogbuefi in 2012). Sir, there is something seriously wrong about our state of education. From the vintage times of Obafemi Awolowo who initiated 'free education', we have regressed into a most parlous state.
Let me talk about roads, housing and infrastructure . The first dualized road in Nigeria, the Queen Elizabeth road from Mokola to Agodi in Ibadan was formally commissioned by Queen Elizabeth in 1956. The first Housing Estate in Nigeria is Bodija Housing Estate (also in Ibadan) which was built in 1958. The state of roads in the Yoruba nation has become pathetic. Our hinterland are still largely rural. Even some state capitals like Osogbo and Ado-Ekiti are big villages when you compare them to towns in the South East. How many new estates have been built over the last decade? Even Ajoda New Town lies in ruins.
We have abandoned the farm settlement strategy of the Western Region and only pay lip service to agriculture. Instead of feeding others like we once did, others now feed us. We plant no tomatoes, no pepper and the basic food that we require. The Indians have bought the large expanse of water body that we have in Onigambari village. The water body in Oke Ogun of Oyo State can provide enough fish to feed the whole of the South West. From being a major cocoa exporter many years ago, one can point to just a few vestiges of factories that still deal with Cocoa in the Yoruba nation. 80% of Cocoa processing industries in the South West have been shut down. The Chinese have taken over the cashew belt at Ogbomoso in Oyo State. They have even edged out the indigenes as brokers. They now come to the cashew belt to buy from the local farmers, sell on the spot to other Chinese exporters who now process the cashew nuts and import them back into Nigeria at a premium. Sir, there are only 7 major cashew processing plants in Nigeria and you can check out the ownership. The glory has departed from the Yoruba nation.
Apart from Asejire, Ede, Ikere Gorge and Oyan dams built ages ago, where are the new dams to cater for increased population and water capacity for the Yoruba nation? How have we improved on what our heroes past left us? Maybe apart from certain areas in Lagos State, others can't even supply their citizens with pipe-borne water.
Our youth which we used to take pride in are largely a mass of unemployed and unemployable people. Have you noticed the abundance of street urchins, area boys, touts and 'agberos' that we now have all across the Yoruba nation? Have you noticed the swell in the ranks of NURTW (I mean no disrespect to an otherwise noble union)? Have you noticed the increase in the number of Yoruba beggars? There was a time that it was taboo for a Yoruba man to beg- but no more. The spirit of apprenticeship is dead. There was a time that people who learn vocational skills celebrate what we referred to as 'freedom'. While that is largely moribund now in the Yoruba nation, the Igbos still practice it with great success.
The only thing we can boldly say the Yoruba nation controls is the information machinery- the press. We own largely the newspapers- the Nation, Punch, Nigerian Tribune, TV Continental and a few others. It is because of our control of this information machinery that we have rewritten the narrative in the country with the misguided self-belief that things are normal and we are making progress. A look beyond the surface will prove that this is so untrue.
We are largely divided. For the first time in the history of the Yoruba nation, religion is about to divide us further- and it is starting from Osun State. You are married to a Christian. My own father-in-law is an Alhaji. That is how we have peacefully do-existed but the fabrics are about to be torn to shreds because of poor management of issues. Afenifere has been reduced to a shadow of itself. OPC that once defended Yoruba interests has gone into oblivion. Yoruba elders have been vilified in the name of politics and partisanship. It is no longer news to see teenagers throwing stones at their elders because of their political indoctrination. Even under the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Yorubas never belonged to just a single party- yet our unity was without blemish. Now, our values have gone down the drain.
Asiwaju, I believe I have said enough. The task is Herculean but I believe Providence has brought you here for such a time like this. It is time for the Yoruba nation to clean up its acts. What do we really want? How can we quickly right the wrongs? The Yoruba nation is in a state of arrested development. The Yoruba nation is gasping for breath and crying for help. Will you rise up to the occasion? I am aware you understand that all politics is local and charity begins at home. Our fathers gave us a proverb: 'Bi o'ode o dun, bi igbe ni'gboro ri'. I know there are no quick fixes but I also know that if there is anyone who has the capacity to do something about our current situation, that person is you. This should be the legacy you should think of. Your legacy is our future.

Shameless people, IPOD.
Pulling off figures, we own,build this, that yet no facts to back it.

Shameless Ibooe author.

OlandoOwoo:
At least two victims of the Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State attack by Fulani herdsmen have been confirmed mad as a result of the trauma they sustained during the ugly incident that took place on April 25.

The report was confirmed by the Olowo of the community, Elder Michael Ugwu, when Daily sun visited to know what has become of the community one month after the attack.

Speaking to the correspondent the Olowo of the community, said the community was thrown into confusion and disarray when some women who lost their husbands to the attack suddenly became mad after some weeks.

“It was a big blow to us because we never knew such will happen to some of the women. We barely started recovering when the news came that one Mrs Agnes Ajogu whose husband Okey Ajogu was butchered in her presence by the Fulani herdsmen has gone mad.

Though we have observed that since after the attack, the horror of seeing her husband being butchered and his heart removed from his body, her senses were seriously affected, but we thought she would get over it after some weeks only for her to go mad completely.

“The worst part of the whole thing is that she has nine children and we believe that the thought of how to take care of them might have also contributed to her madness”, Ugwu said.

Ugwu also said that another woman, Mrs Eberechukwu Ako whose husband was killed in her presence was also reported to have lost her senses.

“We are yet to ascertain the truth about her condition, but there is reliable report that she has lost her senses. After witnessing the death of her husband, her late husband’s brother Mr Clement Ako took her to Anambra state to stay with her parents because she was pregnant and there is no one at home to take care of her. News came that she delivered a baby boy and lost her senses after. Presently she is still in Anambra with her parents and we are planning to send some people to go and find out how she is doing”, the Olowo said.

He also said that another woman, Mrs Ako Regina went mad few days after the attack.
He disclosed that Regina is the sister of Cyprian Ako who was also killed during the attack as he was running with his sister.

Regina’s brother Cletus Ako who survived the attack told Daily Sun that the trauma of the incident made his sister to become mad.

“That very day, I was not at home. My brother Cyprian was running with our only sister Regina when he was killed and she witnessed it. She was the one that explained what happened when I came back. But even when she was telling me, she was full of tears and kept repeating words. At first, I thought it was the shock but few days later it became obvious that my sister has gone mad.

“What she does now is going round the entire village showing people my late brother’s passport she was holding and telling them she wants to die with him. It pains me when I remember my dead brother but it is more painful realizing that my only sister has also gone mad when I should use her to console myself over the death of my brother Cyprian”, Cletus lamented.

Meanwhile, an association of Nsukka people living in the USA known as Nsukka USA has supplied relief materials worth millions of naira to the victims of the attack.
They also urged Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to ban herdsmen from Enugu State.

In an open letter to the governor while presenting the supplies, the President of the association, Evelyn Idoko who was represented by Mr Ikechukwu Ugbor thanked Governor Ugwuanyi on the efforts his administration made to address the Nimbo shocking incident.

She, however, urged him to initiate and implement a law that would ban haphazard herding of animals across the towns and farmlands in the state.

Her words: “As an association, we appreciate the efforts that have been made by your administration so far to address the shocking incident. We believe more still needs to be done to prevent any future terrorist attack against our people. We, therefore, urge you to initiate and implement a law that will ban haphazard herding of animals across the towns and farmlands in the state. Those who want to breed and rear cattle in Enugu should be encouraged to legally acquire land and build a ranch under the control and supervision of the state Ministry of Agriculture.”

She also called on the governor to undertake the immediate renovation of all public and private structures damaged by the herdsmen in the terrorist attack, so that life could return to normal in the Nimbo community.

She urged Ugwuanyi to create a good security network where people could report illegal activities and also increase police patrol across the borders and check-points in the area.

Responding to their letter, the governor who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora and Special Projects, Mrs Olangwa Ezekwu, thanked the association for the supplies they gave to the community and promised to address the issues they raised.

“You people have shown that the affairs of your people at home are your concerns. Enugu State appreciates your efforts and the supplies you have given to them. We will address your calls and ensure that such ugly incident does not repeat itself again. For now, we don’t have a restitution fund for the surviving victims, families and the affected community, but we hope to do that”, the governor said.
