Seconded.

GTB recently commissioned a building(8 storey) in Ibara, Abeokuta which they named Tayos' plaza named after one of the founder who's now late. Every new staff of GTB must go through Tayos plaza as that's where training for new staffs will take place henceforth. I just love the fact that Agbaje honoured late Tayo and that unlike others he refuse to sit such eddifice in Lagos. If all our businesses(Yoruba owned) continue like this, there will be even development across Yorubaland. This is why i pray day and night that we(Yoruba) will be able to acquire Union Bank. There's one of this their eddifice in Dugbe, Ibadan that must not rot. And shout out to Elizade C.E.O, he's got massive investment at home(Golf resort, Uni just to mention a few). That's how it should be. Even development, at least don't just sit everything in Lagos.

Anyone who can get these pictures, please post them on this thread for us.

Thanks and God bless.

[b][/b]Tribute To The Yoruba
by Reno Omokri

People often assume the Yoruba are so successful as an ethnic nationality due to their thirst for education, and how it has penetrated down even amongst their remotest rural communities. But study them. Their culture of respect opens doors for them that even education cannot open. Diplomacy gives them supremacy.

And their culture is often mistaken for what it is not by others who do not understand them as a people. What some people ignorantly call cowardice, or sycophancy, is stooping to conquer. It is both a military and diplomatic strategy.

This is what Scripture meant in 2 Corinthians 10:4 “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty”. Wisdom, courtesy, diplomacy, and praise are all weapons. A weapon is anything you can use to achieve your strategic objective. It does not always have to be a physically offensive weapon.

But are the Yorubas even cowards, as some people accuse them to be? Well, let us let the facts speak for themselves.

In the history of Nigeria, only two men have returned to Nigeria to face almost certain death even when they had the option of a very comfortable political asylum abroad. Both of them are Yoruba. In 1985, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida toppled the Buhari regime while Major General Tunde Idiagbon (mixed Yoruba/Fulani) was at Mecca yet Idiagbon returned.

In 1995, Olusegun Obasanjo (pure Owu Yoruba) was accused of planning a coup by the blood thirsty tyrant, Abacha (if you do not like that truthful description of Abacha or if you believe that 'Abacha did not loot', you can go and join him where he is) while he was away in Copenaghen.
He was informed by the then US Ambassador, Walter Carrington, that Abacha meant to arrest, try and execute him, and was offered political asylum in the United States.

He returned to face almost certain death.

What more example of bravery can there be than these two shining ones.

Furthermore, there is the apocryphal example of Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi who chose to die with the then Head of State, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, rather than abandon his guest, which he was at liberty to do.

In addition to the above, in my opinion, they are the least likely to maintain and retain their cultural values, when it clashes with other cultures.

I love how they retain their full culture when they travel abroad. It is a rarity amongst Africans. When you visit London, you may be confused if you think Yoruba is the only African language in existence.

A Yoruba man can enter a quiet bus and receive a phone call and speak in Yoruba, and won’t feel embarrassed. And I am not referring to a Johnny Just Come. I am referring to second generation Yorubas who were born and brought up in England,

I have been traveling the world from childhood, yet I have not encountered people doing that with much wider [/b]spoken African languages, such as Swahili and Hausa.

They may speak it privately in their homes abroad. but not publicly, and even if they do, it is not to the extent of the Yoruba.

It has gotten to the extent that the Metropolitan Police now recruit Yoruba speaking Constables, and Harrods now employ Yoruba speaking cashiers. Oh please do not just take my words at face value. Fact check me.

Go to Houston on a Sunday, you will see Yoruba people everywhere in their native wears, adire, plus abeti aja and eleti aja.

[b]Here in California, other Africans now draw crowd to their parties by saying ‘the Nigerians will be there.’

This will annoy other tribes, including mine, however, when foreigners talk about how cool Nigerians are, they are usually referring to Yorubas.

Take it or leave it, but the Yoruba are the most progressive Black people on the face of planet Earth.

They produced the first Black African Nobel laureate for an academic category (Wole Soyinka), and the first Black African military ruler to have voluntarily handed over to a civilian President (Olusegun Obasanjo), and the first Nigerian to win a Grammy Award (Sade Adu) as well as the first person born and bred in Africa to have won a Pulitzer Prize (Dele Olojede).

The reason why Yorubas are the biggest music stars of Nigerian origin is because they are unabashedly Yoruba. They do not try to sing or act like Westerners. They are very in-your-face with their Yoruba-ness. And when people like themselves to such a high degree, others tend to join them in liking them.

There are an estimated 15 Black billionaires on Planet Earth. Three of them are Yoruba. More than any ethnic nationality in Africa.

US President, Joe Biden, named a Yoruba man, Adewale Adeyemo, as deputy Treasury Secretary. This is the highest position to which a Black African has been appointed (not elected) in US history. Another Yoruba man, Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, became the first person on Earth to successfully perform a surgery by taking out an unborn fetus from its mother’s womb and putting it back after the surgery.

77% of all Black doctors in America, and a very large percentage of these are Yoruba.

I commend the Edekiri people (the real name of the Yoruba). You guys are oni te si iwaju.

Thank you Reno Omokri.

The other day, Ex President Jonathan stated that only the South west region has properly managed
its diversity in Nigeria.


Question - Why all the praise for South west all of a sudden?

This shouldn't be here
This is neither an achievement nor a development

Reno is just a sycophant

Kudos to Gov Seyi Makinde.

Sunday Igboho should be careful o. See what’s happening to the other guy.

Lovely.

The Gov should try and complete it before he leaves office.

God bless you. Excellent point!

GNature:

Gov Abiodun, please try and spread development across the state (not just the capital). To be successful,
you need to have a well thought out road map/master plan and work with very bright minds.

Some people complain about loans, but there is nothing wrong with taking loans when it is put to
good use. The thing is, loans must be properly managed so that at any given time, loan servicing
is never above 15% of state revenue. This is why Obasanjo’s govt created the debt management
office (DMO) when he was president.

A lot of the great projects you see in Lagos were completed using debt. Ogun can do the same.


I am rooting for you Governor and wish you the best.

I agree. Ogun state needs someone like Babatunde Fashola to harness its potential
and propel it to new heights.

I have to admit I am impressed with the growth I’m seeing in Abeokuta.

Tonim:
Akure Township Stadium, Akure.

Hhmm. If only Aketi didn't abandon the new stadium and the other one in Ile-Oluji. It's even more shameful that there's no government presence in Ondo city(Ondo state second largerst city at that). Even Akure literally have nothing to show as the state capital other than population. Ondo state is too underdeveloped for my liking. Ondo state is an oil producing state for heaven sake. The only good thing about the state is just good roads. Nothing else to show for the Oil, cocoa and fish. Aketi should do more.

It is already completed from the outside. They should be done with the turf too by now.

maxell:


Lovely.

It is already. He even re-built or maybe re-modeled Eleyele dam from the ordinary reservoir they left it all these years. And then building water park in the other part. Also building 4 ultra modern bus station(Terminal) all in Ibadan. Late Ajimobi laid a very good foundation for a modern Ibadan and it's nice seeing Seyi walking in that path. Being from Ibadan is prolly some added advantage.

Ogun state lacked good leadership for long. I can only handpick Amosun from them all. 2 complete years focus on ABK of Dapo 4 years still prolly will have little to no impact honestly. OGSG got loads to do in ABK.

The earlier my fellow Yorubas realize that igbos doesnt love you the better for them .All they are after is to mock you after your downfall.Any Yoruba doing anything with igbo or fulani is going to regret it at the end .Igbo and fulani have been friends since BALEWA/AZIKWE Government in 1959.So forget that trash of igbos telling you they hate fulanis,Igbos and fulanis are allies ,YORUBAS DONT BE FOOLED.
