Yet some people think southerners are the ones suffering in Nigeria...

Seems fair enough...

It used to be in trillions...

Igbos and their obsession with VP position... Thought you all said it is a useless houseboy position How come you are desperately yearning for it

They forget Abiola defeated Tofa with an Igbo running mate...

netpro:


And it will benefit them more. If it was in those days we will just defeat and take them like the Romans, British and French did.

We've played the big brother and gotten nothing in return enough!

Let them go to hell!!

The borders should be shut forever!!!

Exactly what came to my mind some moments ago...

Why should she be slammed

Are men not the head again

O my!

Let PDP field an Igbo candidate while APC field a Yoruba candidate. Is that too much to ask

Why are Igbos afraid of going head to head with Yorubas

Makuos19:


Yet they are far head of you!!!

The Yoruba thread says otherwise with several infallible proofs...

myobjective:


It is a myth that Igbos work hard, hard work and Igbos don't go together.

They WORK HARD like slaves to earn less. It's not about working HARD. It's about smart work... Igbos are the Indians of Nigeria...

Makuos19:

What i see there is just free education. Thats all. Awolowo will be crying where he is now because the free education has resulted to laziness!!!

Yorubas work smart as showcased in the Yoruba thread while Igbos WORK HARD for less...

mercyville:


They have only cottage industries and they are mostly in Anambra.Only Honeywell will swallow all of them.That is why they have the poorest IGR..Poor souls but mouthy...
Suffering and smiling..

Hahahahaha

mercyville:


That is what I always do to them with facts...


That is what I always do to them with facts...

Weldone…

Whenever I do my bit, they report me and I get banned....

Makuos19:


List the industries in oyo let me list mine in Anambra as a proof

List all the industries in Igboland. We have more viable ones in Yorubaland...

Rumxy:


I don't read nairaland proofs man, find a credible site

Are the contents of that thread real life verifiable facts or not

mercyville:


That is what they do all over their blogs.
Igbos are the most developed yet Ibadan has more than 12 Gras,more than 5 skyscrapers while the whole Igboand has no single skyscraper except one 15 storey hospital building in Anambra that looks like a stand alone coffin.
Only Ibadan is more developed than the entire SE.. fact that has been proven again and again.

Don't mind them jare…

We must always put them in their place whenever they beat their empty chests like chimps... Otherwise, innocent Yorubas may begin to fall for their many lies...

Makuos19:


Maybe when Fayose lambasted Ibadan as a dead city Then you will say he is not him that said it and u will claim its an igbo man that hide under him that said it.

A presidency journalist said something derogatory about New York some weeks ago. It doesn't change anything.

BRB...

Makuos19:


Yorubas are lazy. They only like to present Mike Adenuga, Otedola and even Dangote and co (an Hausa mam) to us each time they want to boast of how well they are doing in business while we are talking about our numerous young igbos scattered across the country who are doing small scale, medium scale and large scale enterprises. Yoruba here are even happy that their youths are doing tout jobs of collecting kobo kobo from our traders.

But the Yoruba thread says otherwise... Beside our Forbes billionaires, the likes of Seyi Makinde and co have no match on the Igbo side...

Makuos19:

And i have also seen similar BS on Whatsapp from so called Igbo.... They are all Yoruba!

So let's take the Yoruba achievements thread as ultimate then since the facts showcased therein can easily be verified...

Makuos19:

Yet the opinion came from your fellow Afonja who has decided to see things in a different way other than u being blinded by hate!!!

U think it is nairaland where u guys change your moniker anyhow to deceive people with your hate!!!

Anybody can claim to be Yoruba. I have seen similar BS on WhatsApp from a so-called Yoruba... They are all Igbos!

The facts have presented in the Yoruba thread. A counter Igbo thread couldn't come close and it then became a contest of number of pages...

Makuos19:


[s]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.[/s]

This is just somebody's opinion. He's a nobody. Could even be a pigggiiiddiot using a Yoruba name to beat empty chest like a chimp as usual...

Pathetic!

Hmmmmn
