Interesting new posts.

@fstranger1: You probably take the Yale 2:1 guy over the University of Maryland 1st class guy. Dunno how these things translate into GPA and class percentile, but you generally take the person who went to the better school, unless that person has a terrible GPA or the lower-tier school guy is exceedingly brilliant.

Regarding tribalism in hiring. . . basically, a private business can hire whoever they like. If it is a Yoruba-owned or controlled business, then it is their prerogative to look to hire Yoruba first before others.

Part of that is just natural human tendency. . . if you can hire your cousin to do a job, why give it to an outsider?

Not when that outsider is more academically siund than your cousin. Why will you risk your business in the hands of someone because that person is your cousin when there are better people out there.

fstranger1:

Exactly my point: OAU is the Yale of Nigeria while UI represents the Harvard and Oxford of the Nigerian educational system. Therefore a 2:1 or 2:2 from either institution is generally better regarded than any first class form other institutions. OAU and UI accept the cream de la cream of JAMBites. Some schools in the East arent better than elite secondary schools (like Kings, GCI etc) in the SW.

EzeUche_:

Well that is illegal in Nigeria. Just like it is in the U.S. That is why you have diversity programs in many corporations in the U.S. and affirmative action in some sectors.

eku_bear:


However, very likely this is the case of a 110 versus a 112. Two guys roughly about the same level, similar qualifications and capability, yet one guy getting the spot due to satisfying certain other soft criteria. It isn't like a 130 versus a 105.

afam4eva:

firmative action.

I get your point. It's just like the affirmative action in the US. Tribalism will always be a part of what we do in this country whether we like it or not. People always tend to favour theirs more than others. There are only very few exception. Very few.

LoveKing:

Oh Whats all these Noise. Lets just DIVIDE Nigeria now lets all keep QUIET!

LoveKing:

then show ur group d way i think it gonna start.let start this immediately atleast the yorubas want to join benin and the igbos want to leave 2.

as my fulani friends alway say "igbos are the most annoying nigerians, they piss everyone off and they also lie a lot"

i dey laff at yorubas

you yorubas better get your acts right before you start fight over lagos and your jobs

if they love yorubas that much, they will not be talking like this,., i tell you

you better start bauchi crisis  on igbos and ijaws in lagos so they will know the reality

they are getting to comfortable in lagos i tell you

but that is the truth brother

i will not cover the truth,.,.,.,. that rubbish they do in lagos can never happen in the north,, ,., FACT

all that rubbish they say about yorubas is just sad

look at ezeuche, can he insult a northerner even on NL not to talk on the street,.,.,. he will just waste his life for nothing

that is the reality

jahman, why not come apply for a job in kano or borno state and try to see if they job will be given to you when i am there

Next time OPC starts killing your folks, dont go running to the Oba of Lagos for help  ok?

jason123:

OPC is not yet ready for your a55! All mouth and no action. If they now touch you, you would be the first to say that, "we are leaving Nigeria", "no one likes us", "we are discriminated against by the yoruba oligarch and the northen caliphate", " we are going to the UN to report you", "this is genocide" ,blah, blah ,blah. Why can't you just live somewhere without attracting violence on yourselves? Bros, live and let live!

I don't know what you are smoking, but the Yoruba have never dared start Kano-like or Kaduna-like or any other northern Nigerian-like pogrom against the Igbo.

If you dare it, then we will chase you into Benin republic.  

EzeUche_:

That will be the day when Yorubas start attacking Igbos. When that happens, Lagos will look like a war zone. So you better hope that doesn't happen. We Igbos would rather destroy Lagos than be chased out of it.

If we can't have, then no one can.

Whats the ratio of Yorubas to Igbos in Lagos. Never mind thos that would come in from Ogun and Ibadan in a twinkling of an eye

Lol. All talk, no action.

But of course, that is your way.

Any time there is wahala in the SW, they flee Lagos like goats.

Actions (or lack thereof) speak louder than bold but empty words.

EzeUche_:

You do know it would be a 3-way battle. I am pretty sure the Hausas will not be chased out of Lagos. And let us not forget about the warlike Ijaw who have dared to strike at Lagos. It will be a battle Royale! Just try us.

mens dept:


Yes you are right. Igbo people should sometimes stop running their mouth like fools, and hold their leaders (not the leaders of others-aka Awolowo, OBJ, Atiku) accountable. They need to also check themselves and their culture ( kidnapping, title taking, even bride price exploitation)

Yet you are wrong if you believe that all Igbo are wanting to bring attention to themselves. Look at the Danish cartoon and how Hausas started to deal with Igbo and Christians.

So the best thing is to be a serious group that is serious about progress

eku_bear:

Let me put it this way. . . the day that Igbos threaten Lagos is the day that your entire race will be put in jeopardy. Not just in Lagos, but in your very heartland.

Not trying to frighten you, but that is the reality. If you think Yoruba people hate you now. . . you've not seen anything yet. As things stand now, if Nigeria breaks apart, there will likely be relative peace.

But if Lagos is scratched in the process. . . there can only be longstanding enmity and warfare. And in a context like that in which I am at war with you and your people. . . well, you will end up my slaves. Simple as that.

You think only numbers decides a war or conflict abi?
I wonder why Israel still exists inspite of millions of arabs surrounding it.

Igbo in Kano stand their grounds and fight against the entire groups there, and you think your people have seen that type of conflict?

Anyway, you can believe whatever you want.
