Nauttyprof:
U that have made your research, why don’t u tell us ur result to substantiate your claim. Or u want to to believe a persons opinion?

Just go and sit down and stop the tribe thing in this matter. It is just the usual Nigerian factor to work against anything that comes from Nigeria irrespective of tribe. Go and make your research first before coming here to type rubbish

mrvitalis:
Lol same Nigeria refused to give him land to build plan maintainace hub in Enugu ... Now they are faking smiles like they are happy

Yet Allen is still doing one Nigeria

I have done one Nigeria here on nairaland... Was one of the biggest advocates

But truth is... As long as you are an Igbo man in Nigeria they would never give you a level playing ground ... The sooner igbos like Allen understand this the better

Omo, your question carry weight o! The Oro Festival na one important part of our culture for some areas for Naija, especially for the Yoruba lands. E dey bring plenty attention because of the way e dey affect movements and activities for the areas where e dey happen.

About your question on why e be like say the Oro Festival no dey hold this year, e get different reasons why traditional celebrations fit pause or no loud as before. Sometimes, e fit be because of community decisions based on certain circumstances or changes for the community leadership or even external factors like government policies or public health concerns.

Another thing be say, these traditional celebrations, including Oro, dey planned by the community elders and the traditional council, and their decisions fit dey influenced by plenty things wey outsiders no fit immediately know. E fit be say dem decide to make the celebration lowkey this year or even postpone am for reasons best known to them.

The part wey you talk say e be like the Oro dey follow INEC timetable dey funny small but na valid observation. Traditionally, these festivals no dey align with political calendars; however, e possible say the community leaders dey consider the general atmosphere for the country, including political climate, before dem set date for their traditional events.

If the festival dey very important to you or you just dey curious, you fit try reach out to people from the community or check with cultural organizations wey dey related to the Oro Festival for more concrete information. Them fit dey in a better position to yarn you wetin dey happen behind the scenes.

E also possible say announcements or updates fit still come out later on. Traditional festivals like Oro dey deeply rooted in our culture and e no easy to just cancel them without serious reason. Keep your ear for ground; you might just hear something soon.

AnambraPikinSel:
E concern shinedu? Nah you wan tell us when to do our oro festival?

Shame on you. The Yoruba's headed many positions including some of the above under GEJ, don't be clever by half. The guys who argued with you on this thread are just rable rousers and should have nailed you with facts.

Parasites that’s why they don’t want the country to divide because they know if country divide cocoa and ewedu can’t generate this wealth

maybe she is saying the true or not

i kw someone that sold the property his late father left before departing this world house and two cars

the guy relocated to Italy 4years ago

the guy is back to Nigeria living in a rented house

most time i wonder what's wrong with we the youth

atiku4President:
Na so, that's how the state has been fraudulently empowering some lazy country men and women, especially from the North. How many Southerners benefit from such scam?
We know those who don't need govt loots to survive. They work hard to survive and build their communities and can beat their chests any day to say that to anyone who cares to listen.

Ebubu9:
my post is verifiable with evidence. I have ears inside ebonyi government and my dad is a retired perm sec while my mother is still working. So I debunk them with factual and up-to-date investigations.

I can’t say the same for you.


So I have my facts to debunk them on that. You debunk BudgIT now but do so with very outdated data.

Raf4:
Yoruba too insecure?
Your ancestors started trooping to the Western Region uninvited since 1900s. If there's any insecure tribe in Nigeria, it's clearly igbos. That's why you always lump SS/Niger Delta into your unviable biafra, because you can't survive without them.

shortIGBOman:
IGBO Land (South East) contribute ZERO to the Economy. They are the only parasite Region in Nigeria.

igwebuike01:
Five SE state states among the top ten. They had to stretch it to 12 so that more SW states can enter

lawani:
By waec reg stats of 2019, SW is two times the SE in population if we assume the population of children is proportional to the total population
In 2021 it shows SW being 2.1 times the SE.
By out of school children, it shows the SW to be around 2.9 times of the SE in population
If you check the enrolment by gender in waec results as published, you will notice that more Igbo girls sit for the exam than Igbo boys and the difference is significant. It is the opposite in Hausa land. So that explains some of the out of school kids in the East. However the only state in the south classified as ELDS is Ebonyi state Educationally less developed State but Ebonyi may be comparable to Ekiti or less in effect. Some of the kids missing in action in the east are obviously apprentices in the west and north. So they add to the number in the west but the total number of Igbo masters in the west with apprentice might be maybe two hundred thousand who have uneducated kids under them if up to that, so the addition to SW underage kids by SE people may be a maximum of 100k if up to that and there will be some sw kids in the east as well but it does not reflect in the waec enrollment by gender table published by waec since the ratio of boys to girls registering in the SW is like one to one. Therefore since a report suggests sw is 2.1 times of the SE and another suggests 2.9 and we know that some SE kids are missing there then we can say the SW is around 2.5 to 2.8 times of the SE in population and on a per Capita basis the SE may be said to now be more serious with education than the SW but by only a bit because 2.8 times of 390k is not up to 1.19 million. Even in Ilesa now there are kids who don't go to school not to talk of other places. It can be explained by saying whatever is affecting the Muslim north is also bound to affect the Yoruba to a certain extent but that is no excuse. However no SW state or any southern state at all is classified alongside Ebonyi as ELDS.
Conclusion
A higher percentage of Igbo boys than Yoruba boys are not going to school
A higher percentage of Yoruba children in general than Igbo children are not going to school
The population of the SW is anything from 2.5 to 3 times that of the SE and the level of education is more or less at par.

Racoon:
This is even with the sit-@-home wahala though not an acceptable trend. Despite all the self-created and inflicted problems of the Nigerian state against the SE region( including the over exaggerated insecurity situation), the region is still responsible for the most nerve-wrecking outstanding academic feats ever broken by any ethnic group in this nation.

This is a region whose entire land was blown to smithereens in a self hate genocidal war. Yet the protegees of their forefathers rose from the ashes to dominate the Nigerian education, commerce, transportation, health, occupying high politico-military positions in the US, UK, Canada and other nations across the world.

And what has happened to the contraption they foisted on us with a fraudulent constitution? This is 63 yesrs of failed Nationhood with no light under the tunnel or in sight. The fraudulent 2023 election really exposed the Nigerian state hatred for alaigbo. Now the rest of history.

It is a monumental blessing being a SE. It is a blessing being from alaigbo. Ala nkea Chineke goziri agozi. Ebe ndi ma Ihe. Chineke ga na zaputa ummuneya. Abeg umunnem, toonu Chineke anyi. Proudly onye dot. Udo di. Peace!

Lol after subsidy removal? Lmaooo APC propaganda

We are paying more subsidy now than we have ever paid... And we are also paying more for petrol now than we have ever paid

Divide those allocation by the exchange rate the u know states are getting far less

For the unfortunate people quoting me to talk rubbish here it is

Nigeria sells crude and earns in dollars that the bulk of revenue

This dollar was sold at official rate to Cbn thats 450 per dollar

Now naira has devalued official rate is 1500 which is over 3 times the previous rate.. Plus we supposedly stopped playing over 1 trillion per month in subsidy

So the revenue should be 3 to 4 times the figures before may 29ths if we actually removed subsidy

It's not rocket science

SUPERPACK:
Don't mind them. They will count all south south appointments as igbos to spite the igbos. But when Ipob claims that south south is part of igboland they will all start saying it is not. That they are Niger Delta

Ofunaofu:
After just nine months in office, the Tinubu regime is already becoming the most corrupt government in the history of this country.

ojasweb:
In 2014, i joined Fiverr to work as a freelance blog post writer, and after some months, i decided to switch to Google ads manager since at the time, Google ads manager are very few on Fiverr.

Within a few days of creating my Google ads gig on Fiverr, i got my first order from someone in Canada.

Luckily enough for me, this person has never used Google ads before at the time, so he doesn't have much expectations.

He wanted to give it a try to know if it will be profitable for him to continue using it.

He proceeded by creating his AdWords account and submitted the details for me to start the work.

I got everything setup within some minutes and the ads started running that same day.

Within a week, the client started seeing some patronage in his physical store in Manitoba, Canada. By the way, he owns a computer repairs business and looking for more patronage.

With the improvement in patronage as reported by the client, i feel much relieved and develop even stronger interest in mastering Google ads.

Sirniyeh:
...
When we talk of intelligence, Yoruba people are to be reckon with in this Nigeria. Yoruba Intelligence superceeds all other ethnic groups. The succeess ascribed to Gowon was influenced by Awo.
Gowon was a young boy of 29, even single when became head of state but had lots of achievements.
Many of you witnessed the prudence of OBJ in ruling Nigeria. Compare to GEJ now.......all na story!
For this reason western region is more developed than any other region. Without yorubas, there cant be Nigeria because the economic power of the nation is in the hand of yoruba.
Igbos are just followers and GEJ happens to be a disgrace to them all

Ashleydolls:
What is this one saying? If possible, do you think we'll want to be recognized with your tribe? You people are a big disgrace to Nigeria in the international face. Nigeria was declared 4th most dangerous place to live in all because of the animalistic behavior of your people ranging from boko haram to fulani herdsmen. Better get a life and stop spitting thrash.

kettykin:
Those same troops that stopped biafra at ore did little or nothing besides shedding tears when it mattered most, when the field Marshall of yoruba land, the Aare ona kakanfo ,Obasanjo, Oladipo Diya, and other yoruba generals were hounded, arrested like teenagers ,condemned to death by hanging and kept in custody.

The comments here by some people show a one sided and pathetic reasoning where the same people who are yoruba first before becoming nigeria now choose to die for nigeria first and do nothing for the yoruba race

The Yoruba solders were the headache of the Biafran solders during the civil war, we dealt with them so much they were defeated on all front led by Yoruba solders.

It is understandable they hate us so much knowing the Yorubas are more tactical and efficient when it comes to action

nobaga:
Twist it anyway you want. Which Yoruba were in position or put in the position to command troops as Diya explained?

Ask Ironsi how powerless he was and what happened to him after Igbo coup, when he left Danjuma in charge of his security.

Only a fool without troops would even try or plan a couple.

When Black Scorpion Adekunle was left in charge of troops what happened?

When Obasanjo was left in charge of troops what happened?

When Captain Iluyomade was left in charge of a few soldiers in Ore, he form rag-tag soldiers from hunters and any volunteers to wipe our battalions of Biafran Army.

Underestimate Yoruba tolerance and accommodation at your own peril.

7lives:
Yorubas are not made for war, but the nitwits blame Awolowo for their loss.
People wey be say the name black scorpion gives them nightmares.
Babangida himself na black scorpion pursue am comot for aso rock.
Black scorpion, IBB,s strange visitor, he entered aso rock to threaten Babangida during the June 12 crisis, this was why Babangida stepped aside.
Yoruba no dey commit mas suicides, ogbon ju agbara lo, brain pass power yet we have both.
Ability to maintain self restraint in phase of provocation, is a sign of strength and not a sign of weakness, sisa ekun t'ojo ko.
We have our ways, we will always get what we want 'cause we are that smart.
Those who sabi fight war, should continue with the sacrifices, ebo afin, ebo a da.

Raf4:
But the only known cowards in the history of Nigeria are odumegwu Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu (both ndigbos) who abandoned their Igbo people and ran away from the war front. Can you mention a single Yoruba male or female who ever displayed these attributes?

ElSudani:
Yoruba people are not made for war except his name was Benjamin Adekunle. The only meaningful expedition of the Biafrans was led by a Yoruba man, Victor Banjo.
