Secrets Behind The Success Of Yorubas by vislabraye(m): 5:18pm On Oct 14, 2012 |
I have noticed several things about the Yorubas. I will talk about the good parts for now: They have very strong culture. An average Yoruba will alaways respect his elders. If an elderly person scolds the younger, the younger are quick to amend ways. Its very rare for a young person to insult his elder to his face ( not saying it doesn't happen). They always help themselves. I think this is their greatest strenght. A Yoruba man feels very comfortable helping his own above others. Once they know you're from their place, they start speaking their language. 1 Like 1 Share |

Have you ever wondered why they have so many professors? It because of the free education scheme which favoured the SW more. Awolowo was involved in it and he made sure his people enjoyed it. Presently, if you notice a Yoruba family, there's usually atleast a prof or a doctor. They are also very connected people. If a man helps his brother, his brother will help another it goes like that. Its not as if they are BETTER than other tribes. It just that they prefer themselves. 1 Like 1 Share |

They major problem with other tribe is that they are not willing to help themselves.( An exception is the Hausas). That's one reason you hear a lot about household wickedness. One man wants to be bigger than the other person. |

If you want successful Yoruba people who are not tied them by envious South-eastern Nigerians, you should make a list of collective successful Yorubas in diaspora. |

[size=28pt]Kase Lawal: Not your average oil baron[/size] Nigerian-born entrepreneur Kase Lawal is the epitome of the American dream.

I've read expliots about the people above. I do believe there are other tribes who also do better. What makes the Westerners unique is the legacy Awo has laid. I'm sure if he had been the president, I won't be surprise if everyone from the SW would have gained full schorlarship. 1 Like 1 Share |
