Afonjas are cursed, no wonder they are all betrayals. They betray their own kind.

Okeowo spoke like a true Nigerian oligarch, so disconnected with the reality on ground. Either that or there is something stupid about some Egba people, first it was their King, then Obasanjo and now this man. Just spewing bullshyte and so out of touch with the realities that surround them.

I am certain he does not even depend on PHCN for power supply, neither does he spend half his time in Nigeria, so how can he know of the success stories that young and hardworking Yoruba men and women are engaged in.

It is his generation that led us to where we are and when push comes to shove, Yoruba nation cannot count on cowards such as these to lend their support to the struggle for independence. He has shown his hand, I hope all concerned are aware of him from henceforth.

For once, I agree with Reno Omokiri.

Yoruba l'agba!

Iyalaya anybody!

Somebody said the truthe about his people and you are hear making noise.

Okeowo is a tinubu boy trying to belittle yorubas for their fulani masters..

CNiro:
Afonjas are cursed, no wonder they are all betrayals. They betray their own kind.

This why they were attacking sunday igboho yesterday...they are just sntches

goodnessme1:
Mr Okeowo was right.



Tell me what else yorubas are good at if not those two things he mention.





As for the curse by Alaafin
Aole,it is still very much active

Dummy, and you are commenting and can't do without the forum created by bonafide Yoruba son.

I am ashamed of you on behalf of your family and tribe. Spit

Yoruba tribe used to be the most educated tribe in Nigeria between the 1960s to 1980.


The table turned after the 80s.....as it stands now, Yoruba and Igbo are at par when it comes to educational acquisition or there might be a slight insignificant difference.


The Yorubas were smart......they used their alliance with the North during the breakout of the civil war to replace every position Igbos once occupied in Nigeria and they used that period till 1999 to position their people and their region in better position than any other region while the North concentrated on gaining political power and positioning their people in military, Police and other security outfit.



At that time, Igbos who recently lost the civil war and was being relegated from national politics and affairs focused on business development, entrepreneurship, personal development, migration to foreign countries and today, that move has placed Igbos ahead of every other Nigerian tribe when it comes to the most successful tribe in Nigeria by population not judging by individuals who have the highest proven net worth, but by population that are above middle class.



You cannot talk about business or entrepreneurship in Nigeria today without first meeting an Igbo man, from retail to informal trading to formal trading to importation, to exportation to all forms of businesses.



But in all, Reno made some valid points, but some of his points were more valid around the 60s to 80s, most of his points are no longer valid today

Simplyleo:

On this, Reno is 100% correct and I agree with him for the first time.

But Reno should be ready to take insults from those people deveroping the universe with their imaginary education.

/
Some believe that education entails sitting in class, taking and passing exams. Because Nigerians are blinded by titles, they brag about being very educated. But nothing in Nigeria can be pair comparison to other nations without claim to highly educated class.
It is all about worthless certificates which is why you will see Nigerians with Ph.D doing Uber services abroad because they cannot compete effectively in their fields.

Don't forget that most people with multiple degrees are "professional students". They will rather stay in school than go into any practice.

You again!?

The story that South West is the most educated tribe in Nigeria is an old story. The people that Awo sent to school that made them the most educated have all retired or about to retire from work force and they didn't provide the same opportunity that Awo presented to them to the generations that are following them. That story of most educated is outdated quote me anywhere they are no longer most educated

The two of them are right

For the first time Omokiriri making sense, I will send goro and bitter cola to you and your madam, nice one.

Reno omokiri should understand that the man is an Oil magnate, and he would say anything to defend one Nigeria as long as he get OML or OPL

Loads of rubbish, even in your region most of the notable academicians in your academic institutions were Igbo, I believe the first VC from the University of Ibadan was Kenneth Dike?

Nnamdi's Azikiwe's doing.

Virtually all the foremost Nigerian professors in every field of academic endeavour are Yorubas. From Medicine, to the social sciences, to Law, to Engineering, to Management sciences, to the pure sciences ...

And you think one Historian, Kenneth Dike, was worthy to be the first V.C of the University of Ibadan.

A lot of Yoruba professors were more qualified but Zik did his thing.

You know nothing.

So being more successful is by selling your land to your imaginary unfortunate people,just to be able to eat Ewudu.

The way dubai and ancient London are selling theirs, right?
Have you not observed that it's a retarded places that are not sellable. Have you not considered why people break banks to get property in dubai, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Abuja etc and its because the places have blessings

You are up to date with facts my friend. Not the ones that are just doing it for tribal bashing

Loads of rubbish, even in your region most of the notable academicians in your academic institutions were Igbo, I believe the first VC from the University of Ibadan was Kenneth Dike? How come Igbos produced majority of the best brains in the areas of civil service and other top Federal ministerial jobs during the first republic according to records even confirmed by the British? how come the best educated crop of military officers and NCO's at the time who were Sandhurst trained and educated were mainly Igbos (once again confirmed by the British in all their classifications of the various regions on the merit of facts and records)?, the fear of Igbo domination wasn't only prevalent in the North but also had significant inroads in the Westeen region (otherwise the famous "Yoruba ronu" anti Igbo speech by Akintola wouldn't have been birthed).

Currently (if you want to go by present statistics), all the best performing states that have topped the index in all the national exam indices over the past years have been SE states, bring me any (and I triple dare you) any current stats that shows all the SW states outperform the SE states on any academic level both home and abroad and I'll forever hold my peace, it's not enough to blab without presenting your facts!

Let's me burst your brain, in ogun state...at least there will always be a professor that comes for a compound in ogun state...go do your research most of these professor are not even in Nigeria 60% are in uk...when it comes to education no tribe in this world can compete with Yoruba ..when it come to buisness even Yoruba are still doing well before igbo come to the west there was an existing structure for a conducive and enabling environment for you to exploit...Yoruba has produce different buisness moguls like mko abiola, who was the richest man in Africa at a point and also iya efunsetan aniwura and also in traditional position in Yoruba land we always have a iyalode and babaloja that shows you how much buisness is to us. One of the reason why igbo will always do well in west is because of the good existing system you met in the west...there is why it always tough for an igbo man to succeed in nnewi but very easy to come to ikeja to be a millionaire.

South West is not the most educated region in Nigeria. And barring quota system, they will not dominate every sector. What is this man smoking?

AbaLion:

Emphasis on "the north". At no point in history, both pre or post-independence were ibos ever ahead of the Yoruba - Never was and Never will be.
There is a reason that Yoruba have never been an inch bothered about your so called "ibo domination" fantasy which only existed in the imagination of an average ibo - the fact that Yoruba being the "head" would never give a damn regarding how the "tail" wags, so long it's stuck in between the legs.
The north could be much bothered about ibos flooding her region fill up job opportunities meant for the northerners being the most educationally disadvantaged at the time as rightly expressed by Ahmadu Bello. In contrast, the Yoruba region was the standard template such that it was readily the best option for a lot of Igbos to get the best of western Education. The best of Igbo brains in the mordern era, I dare say, are Southwest trained, Ngozi okonjo iweala, Chinua Achebe, your most prized assets had a bite of the cherry.
At a point, during colonialism, A certain Samuel Ajayi Crowther had come back from slavery as a missionary to teach your ibo ancestors how to read and write through the publication of the isuoma ibo premier - Till date, ibos had not shown appreciation, nonetheless, We Muuve!..
Till the end of the world, ibos can never catch up in any academic endeavor. For every 1 ibos produced, Yoruba would have produced 10 (and I'm being reasonable)


-Lion

Ridiculous chest beating from one who claims to be allergic to chest beating. Facts are king, and if you are so desperate to prove yoruba Academic superiority, state facts only. Like statistical evidence that supports your beliefs. Otherwise you are merely chest beating. Personally, I don't consider education to be certificate holding, because our standards are woeful in terms of quality. Little wonder that none of the south western universities is ranked among the top 1000 universities in the world..

This billionaire Okeowo is looking for an opportunity to work with the north. Lol. Well, Reno always writes with facts one can easily verify.

He mentioned about power which is true. And the law of power is that you must oblige to words of agreement. Just wait and see. That Buhari agreed with SW then, he must honor it. If he doesnt honor it, he knows what will happen. ElRufai has been talked to that he should let go of his ambition as an agreement is on the table. And he has stylishly told ibos to go and sit down. Nothing will happen. I know for sure the next president is a Yoruba man in 2023. Nothing Ibo or any other tribe can do. And as it is, it is between Osinbajo and Tinubu. The more favorable is Osinbajo as people may be shocked that Tinubu may not contest. All he is doing now is finding a way to be accepted. And so far, he is not well accepted. Naturally, the next on the line is Osinbajo. Fayemi, Amaechi, Rochas Okorocha, Uzo Kalu, etc are all wasting their time. And after 8 years of the yoruba, it is running back to the north.

Ibo must learn how to negotiate. Ibo must partner with South South and then SouthWest. Then, speak one voice to produce one person. But as small as ibo is, ibo is divided and ibo want to bully his way to Aso Rock. Lol. Ibo has too many keyboard warriors. Look at how they betrayed Nnamdi Kalu. Lol. The same Orji Uzo Kalu who destroyed their region, refused to support Nnamdi Kalu. So, you think the north will accept him? Lol. Let me tell you and listen well. Only a candidate Yoruba and the north pick together will rule. Go and check the history. Goodluck Jonathan who got there had the backing of yoruba and the north through the influence of OBJ. When OBJ left him, he failed even as an incumbent. Buhari felt only the northern votes can get him there and failed 3 times before he humbled himself and partnered with Jagaban who gave him the yoruba votes. Make ibo still dey make mouth and not humble themselves to negotiate with yoruba to pave way for the north to support their candidate. We go see na. And just imagine what Baba OBJ is pulling. He wants to bring in Akinwunmi Adeshina. Baba na strategist. If the north should accept that man, and baba can fight yoruba here, that's all. He is the next president, he will even beat Osinbajo or Tinubu.

My post will make some ibo abuse me. Wait and see
.lol..

Some of the most successful Christian leaders in the world are from SW Nigeria. Thank God for that. It is sad that someone will call them fake. There are fake pastors, no doubt, but to call them all fake is really below the belt. This man goofed big time.

Awa omo Yoruba atata

PoloG:
the richest tribe are yorubas... followed by northerners. . Igbo man no dey forbe list...I wonder which success you come dey talk again

The richest are Northerners.
Check!!

WesternOligarch:
Truth be told.....Reno should stop the patronising act, yoruba's hardly control anything in Nigeria, he's only right about the part were yorubas don't support themselves......

Even if we don't control anything, at least, we control the FINTECH and the Information Technology industry.

Mumu like you.

PoloG:

Where did you get the stats that the richest tribe is Yoruba followed by Hausas? Or did you mean to write the richest man?

Igbos wealth are saturated.... Not held by a few people like we see in the North and SW whereby one man is a millionaire and everyone around him is poor.

Get your facts straight.

Simplyleo:

Reno was just teasing your like,
If you want to know who spoke the truth among them visit isale eko

WesternOligarch:
If a northerner gets a powerful position anywhere he'd ensure that all his relatives are settled and given top positions same for the Igbo man.....but the average Yoruba man with his political correctness and stupid "professionalism" wouldn't do such because he foolishly believes that networking is nepotism. For the Yoruba's to be great libralism, political correctness and sentimental attitudes must die.......you can't be a liberal in Africa, liberal tribes die out, our ancestors didn't build empires by being liberal or politically correct simps.

But that is the truth.

I'd rather employ an Igbo who knows the ropes than a Yoruba who does not.

Yes, I'm Yoruba.

Ahmadu Bello..

PataAlhajaKeji:

There's no use bragging about something that will attract more scrutiny and envy to you, it's already difficult as we speak......even if we're controlling we aren't controlling enough, besides what are you personally controlling.

I cannot say to totally agree with Mr Reno but to an extent on the true nature of the Yorubas. The Yorubas are highly intelligent but they are not united and integrated. i lived in the southwest for some years and i have some of them as negihbors. when they stop benefiting from you, they tend to become aggressive with you.
