Nigeria is seriously in trouble. I mean how dumb do you have to be to post those pictures? North Korea does a much better job at propanganda than some of these Nigerian Politicians. 2 Likes |

brodalikeme:Lool. Many thanks for the compliment, but I am not expert on northern politics. Like everyone else, I make my conclusions based on my observations which sometimes can be far from the truth. |

Ibukunmer:Some of it is fact, some of it is supposition. You set the benchmark so in the OP you were also able to say humans are failures. I'm an optimist, I love life, I love humanity and I love what we have built. If you were to ask me I would say we are doing pretty damn good. |

In the midst of all the pessimism, I'd just like to point out that as a species we are enjoying the best years ever in terms of health, wealth, food, resources and peace ![]() |

One thing that often strikes me is the extent to which we over-rate our own importance. Perhaps only the cosmologists and theoretical physicists come close to truly comprehending what an insignificant blip on the space-time continuum we actually are. In spacial terms - we inhabit a tiny planet with a volume of 3 x 10 ^ −60 of the universe or 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003%. In terms of time - we have been here for perhaps 200,000 years or 0.0014% of the history of the universe. The 200 years since the industrial revolution (the period taken for us to **** the planet up) is only 0.0000014%. That is like the last 30 seconds at the end of a 70 year lifetime. At the other end of the scale we have the religious fundamentalists who believe the whole universe was created for the benefit of humans. On that basis, they want to shorten the age of the universe by a factor of one or two million (and consequently the linear size by something similar). Unbelievable arrogance!!! 3 Likes |

We are often told that the shooting of a lion was wrong, but the slaughter of billions of chickens over the past 40 or 50 years is OK as they were bred to be slaughtered. Its this kind of thinking we are dealing with. As humans, we have bred what was a normal bird, into something with breasts so heavy and wings so small, it can no longer fly. It is now a Frankenstein bird, which serves no other purpose that to feed the burgeoning masses. This to me, is a far worse crime the killing of a one off lion. The domestication and selective breeding of animals is probably the first major effect humans have had on earth. The implication of this should not be underestimated and may have a bigger effect on the earth than for instance, the industrial revolution. But what do I know I guess, I'm a member of the masses. 3 Likes |

Spykey:What's the GDP PPP of dubai compared to Nigeria? You don't need to be a genius to know both are incomparable. Nevertheless, I do agree those pictures are underwhelming. |

Yes, everybody knows it has "no binding authority", but truth is the Catalonian parliament -with only the independentists present, and against their own rules and the Spanish laws- approved a law a few weeks ago, according to which they must declare Catalonia's independence if the "yes" won the illegal referendum. Oh! and as members of the Catalan government publicly declared just 48 hours ago, it would be absolutely illegal if they didn't follow their own laws and declared the independence on Tuesday. So yes, everybody knows it has no binding authority except the people who have prepared it, and the "laws" they have written for that. That said, Rajoy is the biggest idiot on earth. The independentists wanted the pictures of the police acting and now they have them. Bravo! 1 Like |

Based on some comments on this thread and on social media, it’s a shame majority of Nigerians don't know what they really want. You can't cherry pick some part of military and democratic rule when it suits. No matter the crime, the democratic constitution must be maintained or you'll have a constitutional crisis. 1 Like |

The northeners are trembling because of Ibadan summit. My hope is that SW leaders stick to their guns as the northerners are not willing to give up the feeding bottle without a fight or threat. Enough of status quo. 17 Likes 3 Shares |

shukuokukobambi:I must admit, it's really disheartening to see so much hatred from the Igbos. It is what it is and the response here is understandable. To address your comment. No, Lagos isn't the only place that counts in SW, but its the only state whose development compared to others state isn't contentious. So Lagos was merely an example. My comment was more of a bigger picture, if you know what i mean. With respect to your last paragraph I am going to work on it. I read online that ekiti and ondo used to dominate the waec results. What happened? All the best shukuokukobambi 1 Like |

laudate:Comprehension doesnt appear to be your biggest strength. Have you ever heard of beating a dead horse? Okay, Yorubas are great and? Let me ask you a question, if someone were to compare Lagos to any other states in Nigeria would you guys had put so much effort to prove them wrong? The answer is no, as it's self evident. Now go chew on that. 2 Likes |

okway2:There is a mature and balanced response as displayed by okuntanla (though I still disagree on the premise behind the continuance of this thread)and then there is yours. Ignoring my post history for a second, I love how you could confidently conclude my contributions toward Yoruba land. Btw, I applauds all the achievers on this thread. Nevertheless, you can't wish away the hard truth. |

Basic123:What aim is this thread achieving if I might ask? It's pretty conclusive how anyone who doesn't think in one dimensional ways as you lots are being categorised as pseudo Yoruba. Perhaps, If you had bother to look at my post history you wouldn't have made such a stupid hasty conclusion. Simpleton. You guys should continue beating a dead horse while the real issue state at you in the face. |

OkutaNla:Firstly, open-mindedness is a virtue. In that vein, I am not sure how my comment showed a conflict of interest or bias. Projecting much? I am aware of the context behind this thread and this doesn't justify the never ending comments being churned out of this thread. It has now gone beyond reinforcement of superiority into a self-serving nonsense. Anyways, the first 100 pages had already dealt the 'much necessary blow' to dispel any myth (from a perspective of Yoruba) projected in the other thread. In the midst of challenges currently being faced by the great Yoruba nation, the energy and the number of comments shows a wrong priority IMO. There are simply more pressing issues that warrant the energies I am currently seeing on this thread. Each to their own I guess. Smh, another example is this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/3941777/ibadan-pictures-development-fastest-growing/32#59950230 |

Nothing makes me more angry on nl than this thread and I can only hope this overrated self serving thread dies a violent death (sia hyperbole )by getting deleted. It has serve its purpose and is worn out. You could argue over the 'superiority' of Yoruba as an ethnic group over other Nigerians, but how does Yorubas compares to other Africans let alone other ethnic groups from other non African countries. Did y'all see the latest report about the educational standard in South West? What about GINI, HDI, growth forecast? These are what matters and not a celebration of a select few. Anyways, Ignorance is a form of slavery. Wisdom begins with an awareness of ignorance. And although it is a fact that education is costly, ignorance is the only thing that is even costlier than education. The sooner Yoruba leaders realise this the better. More than 80% UK A- level students achieved a minimum c+ in all subjects. How does that compares to the average Yoruba students (The future of Yoruba race)? Perspective is needed ladies and gents. Rants over. 1 Like |

Majority of these pictures has been recycled from previous topics. Anyways, what is the poverty and the literacy rate in Ibadan? I am more concern about that than a selective glorified pictures which aren't impressive in the first place. Btw, majority of nigerian houses are boring and generic. 2 Likes |

Yoruba leaders are so weak, short sighted and selfish. The sophisticated slogan is merely a face saving excuse. Btw, this also applies to all southern governors. |

The concern should be how to train the students to meet the cut of marks rather than the other way round. The cut-off mark is too low in the first place at 50% (200ish). |
