We're not one obviously but Yorubas are confused and don't know what they want. Northerners know what they want(born to rule Nigeria) Igbos know what they want.

Tell me what Yorubas want
The north understand that Yorubas can kill for a plate of amala so they just give them the plate n watch them kill their brother.

The problem with Nigeria is Nigerians. From the drug traffickers in the east to the militants in the south, the street touts/area boys in the west and the boko boys in the north. We can only move forward once we realize its a general problem and not a problem with a specific tribe.
NB. I'm not Yoruba. I dislike the ones on naira land.

Wen u r in Rome u Behave like a Romanian

Oro festival is well know festival in Yoruba land.

And wenever the festival is going on, no lady is allow to witness it cos the repercussion of lady seeing is death.

And its Midnight stuff meaning the organizers expectation is dat everyone shld b sleeping then, bt the Hausa woman decided to witnesses wot they are doin and she came out around 2am when the festival was going despite the plead from her husband and neighbors not to go out.

because she failed to obey and respect the community culture she was hit with d consequence. Its d Hausa dat started the fight. All in the name of seeking revenge they started killing all their Yoruba neighbors and started burning Yoruba's houses.

And Yoruba responded because u cnt expect us to fold hand because the woman she not the first woman dat such wld befall. And a month before the festival publicity wld av bn made On Radio and Tv. A car wld av bn set up to with Public Address System to tour around the town everyday for the pple that don't av access to Tv and Radio.

Don't asked me how I know about this story, I was. born an d brought up in Sagamu and I also witnessed the riot.

Which
The writer never did.

Yorubas are the problem of Nigeria.

I agree with the poster that said they're very easy to convince. See how they're behaving now because of ordinary VP position that has little or no weight. Asking the north to keep the rest of the positions.lmao
The way they follow follow any rich man or a man in power eh, if he says they should eat poopoo, they won't question it.


Now they're defending every move of Buhari with their blood even when it's not true. Buhari set to implement dress code in Abuja, they say it's ok Even if Buhari Islamises Nigeria, Yorubas will still say it's ok
See them having orgasm yesterday cos of a statement credited to Soyinka, yet the same man has denied the statements.


There is god o

Fake links, threads, and excerpts are now the order of the day on NL.

Anyways, to the post... If Yorubas have bn the problem of this country for thus long and other tribes have bn shy or so bullied that they can't effect nor force solutions, then...........Yorubas shld swagger on like the Boss they are.

Follo follo they are ....



























Meanwhile Seun and his goons will close eyes to such till it turns dirty.

SS/SEe are the one receiving the highest money allocation because of crude oil

But still majority of their states is lacking behind wen compared to SW states in term of development despite the fact that our allocation is nowhere near their own.

because majority of their leaders are nothing but thieves that only enriches their pocket.

And instead of them to attack their thieves leaders with criticism they will be shifting the blame to other regions.

Recounting the ordeal of the past and blaming the dead Awolowo is all what they relied up.

Funny enough they will be Praising the man who lead them to slaughtered and brought upon them destruction which they are yet to recover from.

But they shld knw the more they continue living in the past The more backwardness will continue to befall them.

Even their so call Hero that lead them to slaughtered knw fully well that Nigeria federal system will never give room to secession on easy term.

What is Oro Festival and why are women not allowed to witness such an entertainment , isn't it a festival ?/

Chiaka:


Good you know the oil is from this region this explains why the money we are currently receiving is way too small and we need more to bring about any meaningful development.

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998).

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.

When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.

Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood./

Yoruba elites are part of the major problem in Nigeria. How can the Oil companies ve their offices in yoruba land instead of the Niger-delta? How can the major companies in the Niger-delta be dominated by yorubas? How can Lagos Port be d only real functioning port in Nigeria? I stand for one nigeria but there must be equity
