Is Ijebu The Most Successful Group In Nigeria by Justmesagi: 2:58pm On Dec 11, 2023 |
People like Reno and others believe Ijebu and Yoruba aren't the same. But for me, Ijebu, as much as Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti, is Yoruba. I am fascinated by their festival (Ojude Oba) and exploits. So I digged in deeper about them. I discovered many of the wealthy and successful Yoruba people are Ijebus. Adenuga, Otedola, Alakija, Tope Awotona, Adebayo Ogunlesi -- all forbes rated dollar billionaires. Also, I noticed many list rating top successful people in various fields have people of Ijebu descent dominating it especially if it's about business and enterpreneurship. Is there any subgroup from the West or East or North or South or middlebelt that's more successful than the Ijebu people in Nigeria? Note: this is not to cause disunity among my Yoruba people. I know Ijebu is Yoruba. 2 Likes |

Justmesagi:Read well Bro... I wrote amongst the yorubas... You might be right to say the ijebus are the most successful! |
Re: Is Ijebu The Most Successful Group In Nigeria by Justmesagi: 3:37pm On Dec 11, 2023 |
brain54:I was talking about the whole Nigeria. You said "among Yoruba, yes" which means there's a subgroup from the Hausa or Igbo or ijaw that's more successful than them. So the onus is on you to mention that subgroup or tribe. 2 Likes |

Justmesagi:The onus is not on me to mention any group... But since you want to derail your own thread... Then I think the igbos... Particularly Nnewi/onitcha group from Anambra have more millionaires and even silent billionaires per ratio compared to any other group in Nigeria! |
Re: Is Ijebu The Most Successful Group In Nigeria by Justmesagi: 4:17pm On Dec 11, 2023 |
brain54:Igbo is not a subgroup. Is Nnewi a tribe? And Where's your proof they have more millionaires and billionaires than others. 1 Like |

Justmesagi: Nnewi existed as a monarch since 1498. That should answer your question about it being a subgroup-or not. You did not attach any proof that Ijebus have more millionaires and billionaires than others in your original post either. I hope you are not just spoiling for a fight π€·πΎββοΈ |
Re: Is Ijebu The Most Successful Group In Nigeria by Justmesagi: 5:36pm On Dec 11, 2023 |
DesChyko:Some of you especially people from Anambra are always driven by ego. Someone made a bogus statement that Nnewi/Onitsha has the highest billionaires and millionaires in Nigeria, instead of you to stop him from making such ridiculous statement, you are trying to support. You asked me to bring proof of Ijebu having more millionaires and billionaires. Well, I never stated that ijebu has more millionaires andn billionaires than others. What i said was that I noticed ijebu is the most wealthy and successful subgroup in Nigeria. And Ijebu has more billionaires than any Igbo subgroup on forbes for you info. Nnewi or Onitsha is not a subgroup, they are both cities in the East. Stop trying to be clever by half. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ologbo147:Thank you. This is simply what those two dumbos can't comprehend. However, this is not how it's done. I mean we cannot do proper comparison like this. It's not really about mentioning individuals. I can mention ijebus too. If it's by mentioning icons Anioma cannot even match the Egba people or a subgroup from Anambra. The right way to do it is to bring list of top ten in any field and compare Ijebu representation to Anioma's. With my observations so far, Ijebu beats any other subgroup. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ijebu are from Ile Ife na. Whenever one see Bu, it means Ocean. While ije means "to eat" or "to dig deep into something" or "to go deep" thus ijebu means "deep into the Ocean".. The Oritsekiri are also Ijebu. Ijebu & Ilaje actually. |

Ijebu are Yorubas Ijebu Came out of the Pre Oduduwa Obatala dynasty of Ife kings But many Ijebu Towns were also Founded by the Oduduwa dynasty of kings Towns like Ikorodu and Ijebu Ife At the end of it all they are still Yorubas some Ijebu Kings like Akarigbo are of Obatala dynasty Ancestry but Awujale himself is of Oduduwa descent though the people who he met on Ground were Aborigines of Obatala y But Some very Ancient Yoruba Towns like Owo are not even of Obatala descent but of Oramfe descent The Oramfe were the Founders of Ile Ife Still all of them are Yorubas 1 Like 1 Share |

Justmesagi:Ijebu are Yoruba just like every other sub ethnic groups. Don't mind Reno. |
Re: Is Ijebu The Most Successful Group In Nigeria by Justmesagi: 12:41pm On May 08 |
Christistruth00:I genuinely want to know if there's any other Yoruba subgroup that's wealthier than the Ijebu. I had this discussion with a friend and he mentioned Ijesha and Egba. |
