Igbo are explorers, they have nomadic mentality...and they thrive where ever they go.
That's not so bad, is it? grin

You only explore when you come from a smelly place

Unfortunately for you, I don't dwell in tribal superiority bouts. I am all about individual development.
Build yourself son and quit making a list of successful yoruba and enterprises every damn time. So not smart.

I am building my self I'm going to surpass Mike Adenuga as the richest yoruba Man I just want to make noise like my fellow igbo brithers and sisters so they will learn to keep quiet and grow

The one key difference between Igbo Villages and Yoruba Villages are the buildings.. An Igbo Man would go and build a Killer Duplex in the village complete with Longspan Aluminium roof, Alumaco windows, steel doors, tiled and may even park a car there for good measure, but the Yoruba villages are mostly filled ancient houses. The first time I drove from Port Harcourt to Osogbo, it was like a shock. The Yorubas however may have big houses in the city o, compared to the Igbo man who may just be living in a modest bungalow in the city. The Igbos do this for the bragging rights and also out of fear of losing their priced assets again should another war break out like in 1967.

But that not with standing, I love Yoruba parties.. The Igbos are good o, but leave it for the Owambe crew.. cool

Nonsense find me another excuse. Igbos build and own same mansions found in the villages and in the cities. Yorubas seem to rent in the cities and live in old buildings in the village. Yoruba don't build much of houses since they are mostly government workers and don't have disposable income to build.

you people can't do without oil money FACT! leave all these Yeye market woman talk. you've even acknowledged that fact ignorantly... what is it with you people and ignorance?

and dig up the damn facts, it's actually the Lagos state and some northern states that benefits more from the oil.

Igboland can't do without oil either. CONTINUE TO MAKE NOISE ABOUT ILL-GOTTEN MONEY FROM SELLING DRUGS AND FAKE PRODUCTS.
Without the oil money lagos acquires, Lagos won't be able to feed y'all igbos. FACT
Don't sit on your shoit all day, thinking that only SW benefits from oil money.
The oil money the SE receives, does it go to aliens?

There is only so much that assimilation could do, mastery is the key.

Anyway, I take it that you have nothing else to cling on to but whether I should use assimilation or proficiency.

you're obviously myopic. Yoruba don't sell fake products in Lagos abi? or they don't do drugs Shey? ewu Gambia. Oh and the igbos don't give a hoot whether the oil dries up or not. we're extremely industrious. we're not like some tribes who are too lazy to Carter for themselves, only waiting for the government to do everything for them.

And if learning yoruba in Yorubaland had'nt been consequential, your people wouldn't have thrown away their language for that sweet Yoruba language.

But assimilation is geared towards proficiency, ain't it? grin cheesy
FYI, in most non English countries, language proficiency, not assimilation, is taken to determine your level of integration.

Ill-gotten wealth indeed! That's the silly excuse your youths come up with, everytime they see a hardworking Igbo man.
Main reason why they can never move their lazy ass and get some work.
They all believe you can't make it unless you're in govt, a yahoo boy etc.
That's why you still see a large nos of rusted brown roofs in Ibadan and you find idiats as old as 32, living with their parents and grandparents.
With or without oil, we'll survive. We're not like your people who waits for govt to do everything for them.
We survived the civil war with mere 50pounds and we're still the most prosperous tribe in Nigeria.

I made my first visit to Igbo land in 2004/2005 ( during my NYSC ) and I must confess it was a beautiful experience . I served in Abia and our camp was in Nsiala Ngwa , Nsulu games village. All through camp we heard stories of how humans are a delicacy in that part of town but the warmth and love shown to us just couldn't make me agree with the stories I heard , three weeks later we were posted to our PPA and yours truly was posted to Nsirimo secondary school , in Nsirimo autonomous community , under Umuahia south LGA , Ubakala. Nsirimo itself is made up of five different communities namely - Umuerim , Umuako , Umuezu , Umuaha and a fifth one I can't remember. I enjoyed every bit of my stay there and I'd give anything to go back there , I was welcomed warmly and treated like a son of the soil which I must admit a Yoruba would find difficult to do to a Igbo son in the Yorubaman's land.

I have made myself clear on your case. You are inconceivably dumb.

So, if yorubas have been exploring all these places, does that make them British or Polish?
Oh, maybe cos yoruba land is smelly? undecided cheesy

See boy, develop yourself and get a good job, stop hiding under yoruba names, and quit giving me some crappy list. Hian.

My second trip was in 2008/2009 when I secured a job in Aba , unlike my first trip this one wasn't so interesting. I lived in a rough part of Aba , Bonsaac to be precise , and it was the filthiest place I have lived in my life , people usually defecate in gutters and drainages and if you see any nylon bag tied up on the street , it most likely contains faeces. I stepped on fecal matter 5 times in my first month living there , I soon knew how to dodge "nylon packages" on the streets of Aba. Although my second visit wasn't as nice as my first visit , I stilled enjoyed the industriousness of the Igbo people

I will speak of what I know from the people around me. It's common practice for the average Igbo Man to build his first home in his village not the city (especially those that live and work outside of the East). Not all the Igbo men who own big houses in the village have same in the city and Not all Igbo men build in the village first either, however I know a couple of Igbo men whose houses in the village is a Mansion compared to the duplexes they live in in the city. You don't have to agree with me, but this is what I know and have seen.

Plus how would you refer to most Yorubas as Government workers with no disposable income? Like really? Well, who am I to argue. However, the one thing I am sure of is that the Yorubas don't seem to build mega houses in their villages like the Igbos do.

My later visits was when I was into transportation and haulage , 2010 - 2011. I never stayed too long in any state I visit but it was an entertaining and eye opening period in my life. Overall I'll give it to the Igbos as one of the most diligent and hard working tribe in Nigeria. They are also a very welcoming tribe and I see that only the Igbos who are domiciled in the SW are tribalistic in nature. The ladies , for those who stay in the villages , work harder than the men , I have this notion because while I served in Nsirimo , it was the ladies who do the farm work.
I love my Igbo peeps
