Mraphel:

Is lagos not part of Yoruba? Why remove Lagos from south west and include all states in the Northern part.
Dont forget Yorubas are in Kogi, Kara and Niger state....is that not part of the North?

Truth is no region in Nigeria can best the south west in anything except if they wanna chestbeat

You were making sense until the last paragraph.

Remove Lagos, what has SW achieved that other regions haven't?

Ikinternational:


Why didn't you get my point?
I deliberately chose areas that have a mix of different tribes. To ask fellow Nigerians this question.
Since none of us have the concrete #'s, we can only get perception from talking to the people. Assuming they will answer honestly.

I still maintain the average Nigerian will not list the igbos among the top 2 begging tribes

Well ! that is because the average Nigerians you are talking about hardly travel to igbo land

My point is there's no place in Nigeria that beggers can't be found.

Even in the most developed nations, there are still beggers.

LegendHero:
This thread is funny lol.

What the bleep is the meaning of hard work?

For example:
When I was still in Uni, my friend was a web designer, he designed website for couple small companies and led the web design for a college of Agriculture in Oyo state. They got almost 1milli for the project but the VC and other guys got a percentage from the share. Naija way! Long story short, he got like 400k from the money aside from hosting fees and the rest.

Like 6years ago in IB, we are trying to remove some stones from our well (Konga) back home and dad had to call some Hausa guys to help clear it to get clean water. Those guys collected like 3k for the whole job. They just enter and dip their bucket and the other on top was bringing it out. They were sweating profusely and you can be sure they are really working hard. You hear me right, 3k!

Now do you mean the Hausa is more hardworking because he did a hard job while the guy that designed website is lazy? One got 3k while the other got 400k.

Silicon Valley in USA is known for the services they provide, that is one of the economic hub in USA. Will you say they are not hardworking when compared to a factory worker?

You're right of course. Most of the commenters have totally got the meaning of "hardwork" wrong. They erroneously measure physical exertions of energy as "more" hardwork compared to others that may require little physical exertions.

There's a reason work is classified under SKILLED, SEMI-SKILLED, and UNSKILLED.

What the above distinctions simply means in relatable is that:

It's easy to render unskilled work or labour since just about every able-bodied individual can be able to provide them and in a comparatively short period of time. Skill work typically takes more time for the renderer to be ready and to actually complete the work.

I actually get your point just to emphasize. Las Las, the big disparity in reward your friend got and the guys who dug the well is not REAL.

Even without talking about the months I'd require for him to be able to learn the craft, it will still take him about 3-4 weeks to develop a decent, functionality website. His tools are significantly higher like a laptop. Then, he needs data, electricity. Compare with the guys who got the well running again and did it in like 3 hours or one day perhaps.

However, skill labour shines in the long term because of the reusability of knowledge, skill and process. Sadly, reusability of physical work is virtually non-existent.

Ayekotoo:

Are the management not Yorubas?

From the whole country

Iamgrey5:
Lol.
No offence bruv, but your people fought a war they were not you were likely to win from the onset and lost in a very bad way.

Regardless, if you are articulate enough, you would realize why you lost initially and look at very different ways to accomplish your aim.

No one deserves to be in a union they don't want to be in.

Nonetheless, threads like that is launched by the alternate of Anambra first village son won't make you accomplish your dreams and aspirations.

Lost.. not without dealing with Nigeria

Records are there at NDA..

Not even OBASANJO IBB OR BUHARI WILL MAKE THIS YOUR STATEMENT

Cornered ? Yoruba?

You are nearly funny

Go back to school and stop ridiculing yourself.

Corner a Yoruba and he will insult your ancestors

Psalmy2cute:

wetin concern me with igbo?? ask anywhere the result will always be thesame.. yorubas beg more than any other ethnic group or tribe in southern Nigeria

Did you carry out survey for you to know this?

Perkins2018:


Poverty rate in Igbo land is 90% -BBC.

290% if that is possible

Herdsmen:


My people fought for freedom from entity Called Nigeria
.. and given opportunity they will fight for Biafra.. this time .. ..

Me like this want a Biafra country for igbos alone.. and will same ..
don’t go too far..
I be confirm onitsha born..

What’s my brothers doing.. others are not doing?

Yoruba are scared of igbos..
Hausa Fulani ain’t scared.. but they understand that what they have .. igbos too have it..

If Buhari was to be Jonathan.. he won’t have handed over and his people will encourage him.

If Jonathan is an Igbo man .. him too wouldn’t have handed over..and his people will him

Now Biafra is and my people are helping igbos in every way..to succeed
Let me tell you

Yoruba always tag alone Hausa Fulani . .. because they believe if left for them and igbos.. maybe they might have left Nigeria long ago..this explains the insecurities of an average Yoruba man towards igbos

Post independence.. Yoruba suffered in Nigeria. Igbos were every where ..
Awolowo have to introduce tribalism to sustain his region

Ask your folks .. age and elders.. they will explain more to you.
Left for the Hausa Fulani.. their pain is that Islam will never ever conquer east..

Biafra will come.. and biafrans will celebrate

If today Biafra flags are hoist on Biafra land
Today I type Biafra without sss on my tail..
Today there’s new about Biafra all over the world
Biafrans are proud of being Biafra and can show identity through different ways

10 years ago .. the name Biafra would land you jail
10 years ago Biafra flag could land you in jail
10 years ago.. Biafra sticker muffle will see soldiers drill you

Oga today .. all have change..

So why would someone say Biafra is costing igbos more..

If you don’t go .. you can’t tell ..

You’re not igbos .. so you can’t have that feelings..you can never know what it entails..

I don’t like Kanu .. plus Kanu minus Kanu ..
Biafra flag will be raise someday soon.

Another idiotic post from you. There is never a time Yoruba was not ahead of igbos. Western Nigeria has always been the best. The tales your illiterate parents told you is what you are regurgitating here and no one is buying it. You can keep deceiving yourself. No Yoruba gives a Bleep about Biafra.

Iamgrey5:

Average Nigeria?

Apart from Lagos .. which is in Yoruba region

Where else in Yoruba land do Nigerians travel to..
have you been to eastern markets

Yoruba.. you people are so ignorant of so many things
And no be una fault.. una chose to remain in una enclave..

Wake up!

You are totally correct.

Don’t mind the slowpoke. He had to deny Igbo to make that idiotic statement. Igbos are very poor and they beg a lot. Only those who have never been to their mud enclaves.

Dealing with Nigeria? When nearly million of your tribesmen were wasted.

Before the war you got a big region that included the present SS with oil prospect, after the war you guys were reduced to 5 erosion ravaged muddy land region and yet you said you dealed with Nigeria?

Radarada obe oloka!

Ikinternational:


I have never dashed money to a random igbo person at MMA. But other tribes......

Is MMA in Igbo land?, if you are keen in seeing numerous Igbo beggars, common sense should tell you to go to Igboland because no other tribe would drag that with them there.

Only speak for yourself
I'm from Onitsha and grew up around plenty Hausa people. Other tribes are there too but they blend with igbo. Yorubas, not so much

You will find an average of 10 Igbo family in the smallest village in Yoruba land. Poverty is chasing you away from your land. You are not even typing from your land. If not for stupidity why will an Igbo man open his mouth to insult Yorubas? We determine your existence. you started begging for food and surrendered when we stopped giving you food during the war. That’s how poor you are.

You are still missing the guy point.

Are there more Igbo beggars in SE compared to the Yoruba beggars (if they even exist), yes or no?

zionmde:

Average Yoruba Wen to university abi
or got tertiary education.
and u think average is about numbers
If only u know d percentage of yorubas dat didn't see d walls of any tertiary institution

An average Yoruba is uneducated?

And yet 6-7 of the top ten best universities in Nigeria are situated in SW. Can you see your life.

Ogun state alone has the highest number of universities in Nigeria.

80% of the best best secondary schools are in the SW, I guess those schools were built for Birds.


You're just a non***ity, I'm sorry.

Ok rephrase.

Perkins2018:


Nairaland is not your fathers property. You made a stupid comment and I had to correct you. The writer says the north feeds igbos. He never said they feed Yorubas.

Alright, it is not a bad thing for the north to bring their foods stuffs for sale in east.

Are you okay now?

Ikinternational:

Plenty as how? Are they plenty like in the west? Igbo land is very poor. A lot of igbos have told me that. I’m surprised seeing you guys chest beat o the internet. Remove Yoruba land from Igbo land and you guys will be eating yourself like you do in the olden days.

Yorubas are not chest beaters like Akpu eaters.

It means you guys are unproductive. That’s the aim of this thread. Northerners are hardworking than igbos.

What is at NDA? What record is there to see when I am a student of history myself.

That war is not a war like that, it was a massacre. You bleeping stood no chance. Stop all this nonsense you’re saying coz you’re only bringing shame to the Igbos.

If you were strong and winning the war then, Ojukwu wouldn’t have surrendered. You should be grateful to Gowon, if another person is the commander of that war, you guys would have been dealt with with far more intensity.
