Yoruba people have more to lose if Nigeria breaks up.

Igbo people are entrepreneurs in nature, they move from one place to another, they have high energy and many of them are hustlers.

Yorubas on the other hand look for safe heavens, many of them prefer office jobs, no wonder there is high rate of unemployment among them. They dont farm nor do anything.

Hausas are like the igbos...almost all hausas are enterprising, even a gate man has a small kiosk selling sweets, they produce bulk of the food in Nigeria.

the only thing that unite igbos is hate.
please leave our lands and enjoy you peacefully Biafra filled with milk and honey..

Amaka choke u there.

When someone's who brain is malfunctioning create a post, you will know.
As you care so much about the Igbos, what have you done to ameliorate their sufferings in the one Nigeria?
Allow us to go and suffer dickhead. So that you can enjoy Nigeria to the fullest.

I didn't read all of that,but it's a lie.

1. Paystack, Chicken Republic, Flutterwave, Nord, Main Street Technologies, Coleman Wires & Cables are all few of the numerous enterprises created by Yorubas.
2. If the above does not qualify as enterprises to you feel free to tell the world your own definition of enterprise.
3. When Yorubas are not creating the types of world class enterprises mentioned in (1), They are working as professionals or artisans in or for one of such enterprises. You see, the Yoruba workforce is dynamic and versatile. That is why smart investors will always chose Yorubaland ahead of other regions because they can count on geting the required human capital to make their business succeed. Unlike certain ethnic groups that are like 80% traders or 80% menial workers.

Am Igbo, but bro you are correct. The yorubas are versatile and dynamic. just look at the US composition of Africans who hold political appointment from Biden government. I respect the omoluabis for their innovative inclinations, my only dissapointment is to why they have continued to be part of Nigeria that has Failed the way it did howbeit their massive contributions to world's intellectual pull.

By Fredrick Nwabufo
The idea of having a near-perfect country out of a ruptured Nigeria is illusory. The composite parts of the country each contribute to the miasma of confusion that Nigeria is. No single entity is responsible for Nigeria’s problems. All the ethnic nationalities are equal shareholders in the failing of the Nigerian enterprise. There is enough blame to go around.

Splintering the entity has often been exalted as the remedy to Nigeria’s problems. But this is a defective reasoning because in this instance, Nigeria is defined by its geography and not its people. Nigeria is its people. It is the same people that will occupy the emergent states not angels. There is no paradise anywhere. The problem with Nigeria is a people-problem. Recalibrating the map will not change anything – if the minds of the people do not conform to progressive values.

The assumption that there will be ‘’divine concordance’’ if Nigeria breaks up according to regional lines is obtuse. That a people speak a common language does not put a stamp of camaraderie on group relationship. In the south-east for instance, there is native discrimination among people of the same region. Some are regarded as ‘’impure Igbo breeds’’ while others consider themselves as ‘’true Igbo scions’’.

There are areas sons of certain states are advised not to tread in search of love. Also, it is quotidian among the Igbo to describe people from certain areas in Ebonyi with the pejorative of ‘’wah awah’’ – ‘’impure breeds’’. And there is a deep gulf among classes on the social ladder in the region.

So, what will change if, for example, there is a south-east state as some are campaigning for? Will the present social order be inverted? Will the internecine hate and wrangling dissipate? Well, for sure I think the current revulsion that some have for the entity ‘’Nigeria’’ will be reserved for the emergent state. Elite corruption and abuse will still dominate the polity because the new order will be from the same predatory gene-pool. Non-ethnic predation will give way for ethnic predation because at the end of day class struggle is not resolved by the unity of language, religion or culture.
There is a classic example of a country in Africa steeped in economic and civil crisis after breaking away from the motherboard. The case of oil-rich South-Sudan rings a familiar bell.

Today, South-Sudan is one of the poorest countries on the surface of the earth despite its oil wealth. All the hoopla and gyrations that followed the country’s severance from Sudan soon gave way for tears, sorrow and blood.

As of 2019, 400,000 citizens have been killed in the South-Sudan crisis. Four million refugees created and 1.8 million people internally displaced. The cause of these tragedies boils down to power struggle among the elite who quickly mobilised themselves behind the emergent state to capture power.

A country fabled to be a lodestar in Africa and which was to be a compelling argument for splintering ‘’artificially created’’ states on the continent is now a functional example of why breaking up countries in Africa is not expedient.
An often parroted argument for Nigeria’s dissolution is that the country is an inorganic fabrication of the British. True, but so are many countries on the planet, yet they are thriving and working according to a common purpose.

Most countries in the world were created by accidents of history. It is nearly impossible to find a homogenous country. The problem with Nigeria, as we all know, is that we are yet to have a people’s leadership or as Chinua Achebe puts it, a leader “humbled by the trust placed on him by the people’’ and ‘’willing to use the power given to him for the good of the people’’.

We are stronger together. This is not a platitude but a fact. 90 percent of the wealth of the Igbo is not warehoused in the south-east. The Igbo are a peripatetic people gifted with extraordinary entrepreneurial abilities. They are among the most financially fortunate Nigerians. Nigeria and beyond are their trading arcade. They are in every nook, cranny and crevices in the country. It is unarguable that a united Nigeria is a more viable emporium for the Igbo than a fragmented Nigeria. It will not be the same for the business-minded Igbo with new states emerging from the wreck of Nigeria – the emergent states will certainly want to put up hedges that will protect their own people against outsiders. Where does that leave Chukwuma who has billions of naira worth of investments doting the north and the south-west?

The same theory applies to the north of which economy thrives on agriculture. Nigeria with its bubbling population is a consumer paradise for the agricultural produce of the north. In addition, there are bountiful benefits for the north from Nigeria’s oil wealth.

The south-west as well cannot subsist as an island. It needs the commerce of the Igbo, the endowments of the north, and rich cultural and material resources of other groups to blossom. We need each other.

Our diversity should count for something. It should be our strength. We will be the biggest losers if the Nigerian enterprise is liquidated. We must make Nigeria work.

OP You tried by your attempt to convince people especially the Great Igbo people that a one `nigeria will be the best for them. let me start from south sudan that most people qoute easily. You cannt compare south sudan with the igbos. South sudan is a country without a single football club bu the south easst has formidable football clubs of international reputes. I decided to use football as a mianute item just to let you know that south sudan as a failed state should nt be compared with the south east. If south sudan would be a failed state UN, USA and others wouldn have granted her an independent status. Which nation in Africa is not a failed state if i may ask? At least the killings and kidnapping we are experiancing in Nigeria now are not happenning in South Sudan. We Nigerians are funny people. We have a funny habits of speaking for others as if we know people and what they want better than themselves. If you go to South Sudan the people there will stone you if you attempt to say to them what you v written about them. Why dont you people qoute Eriteria and other new nations, why always South Sudan? Igbos because of there spread and presence in every nook and crannies deserve a formidable state that will protect them. mark it, the day that nation is created you will be shock at the rate of investment they will bring home. The Indians, Chinise, Lebanese and Jews are like the Igbos and you cannt mess up with them because of their nature.
So your arguement does nt hold water.

Honestly Yorubas will be the loser in any break. If you observe you will see that the Huasa man can be use to expand or create development. Once they come to a place, that area gets developed through buying and sellling as well as other activities. Same goes with the Igbo man but you cannot say that about the Yorubas. The Yorubas are the most beneficiaryies of governmt largesse. These people enjoy govt wealth and resources more than any ethnic group in Nigeria and they bring nothing to the table. With these i dont understand why the Yorubas will be fighting the fulanis who v always made them. All that the Yorubas get from the govt is through ethnic , religious or propaganda patronage. But the Igbo man goes with his skills and competent that he will deliver in what ever assignment he is entrusted with. Nost of the political aides at the Villa and ministerials are Yorubas.

You mention 6 companies that employs only a selected few...the funniest thing is they can't employ all the yorubas because they will go broke just on paying salaries alone.

Igbo and Hausa on the other hand are independent, they create more jobs for themselves, many are not professionals but they control about 90% of the informal market.

The only prosperous Yoruba land is Lagos and that is because it is near the Atlantic ocean that attracts people from all over the country for trading.

Most yoruba people want to wear coat and sit in an office earning 50k per month while the igbo and hausa hustlers are providing everything you need, go to any town in Nigeria, you must see a suya or an indomie joint owned by an hausa man, a spare part shop or clothing shop owned by the igbos, i cant say that for the yorubas, they dont have any footprint anywhere in Nigeria.

See an igbo man or woman will pack to an area and use his or her house to sell provisions and make good cash while a yoruba person will be complaining about unemployment, the hausa man is not left behind, he will come to lagos, with food stuffs to sell to everyone.

yoruba women used to be the leaders in selling tomatoes and pepper in the market, now the hausa man have taken over, they dont even stay in the market but make lot of cash selling fresh tomatoes and fruits, now yoruba women are know for spoilt tomatoes.

Buying and selling is the bedrock of an economy, but sorry my friend, yoruba people are not participating at all in that area. nowonder, there is high unemployment rate among them.

1. Show the world statistics from reputable sources which support your claim that unemployment/ poverty is higher in Yorubaland compared to other regions in Nigeria. In the absence of such then the Yoruba way remains the right way.
2. @ the bolded you are absolutely wrong, services and manufacturing are the bedrock of an economy, think the U.S.A or U.K for the former and China for the latter.
3. The service based economy of Yorubaland for example creates wealth for some, disposable income for others. The wealth and disposable income of Yorubas is what attracts people from poor regions like yours to come and do petty trading in our space.
4. I am not surprised that substantial number of Yorubas don't do petty trading to utilise the opportunities which the wealth of their brethren begat because I know that from time immemorial, Yoruba men in particular have always preferred skilled occupation to sitting in a market.
4. It will be amusing to see how your sovereign nation can survive with petty trading after Nigeria splits.
5. On our part I can assure you that when we achieve our own sovereign nation we would rather have a few Walmarts instead of proliferation of unskilled petty traders.
