"Yorubas Are The Economic Backbone Of Nigeria" by Rivertemz: 7:38pm On Jul 09, 2015 |
"Yorubas are the economic backbone of Nigeria" Claimed by this man; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uyw8SoymFs What do you people think about his point of view? Some of it was in Yoruba, majority in English. He makes a point about how Yoruba contribute the majority to the country's federal funds. Whilst the Hausas and Fulanis contribute the least. Can someone back this up please? |

Super story! |

He also says that, if Boko haram bombs the north, Nigeria will still survive. But if the prime areas of the Country's economy in Yoruba land is attacked, then Nigeria will fall drastically. He says that Yorubas must claim more and be as influential as the English are over the Scots, Welsh and northern Irish. |

psucc:That man posted some stats on his video that proves its the yorubas that have it. But we are the least to take credit for anything as a Yoruba. Nigerian first, then Yoruba second. But everyone else puts their tribe first. How come? |

Rivertemz: That is stupidity, only a silly man would put Nigeria first before his ethnicity How can you even begin to serve Nigeria without hurting your ethnicity? Awolowo was not a pan - Nigerian 1 Like |

macof:Exactly, that's what this man is saying about Yoruba people, they are the least tribalistic Awolowo was a regional leader and was not put in charge of the rest, that's why he cared solely for the Yoruba. |

even though I am Yoruba, I dont believe this. There are a lot of fallacies here. e.g, Dogara is not Hausa/Fulani, Ditto saraki. I do not believe that the Yoruba contribute 49% of our wealth, where are the Niger/Deltas that produce the oil? And i dont believe that we are the majority in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

My only response is that if the Niger Delta is bombed by boko haram, Nigeria will shut down economically. The oil industry funds every other industry whether directly or indirectly. |

Teejizzle:true we are not the majority, but we are one of the majority. 21% Hausa, 21% Yoruba, 18% igbo, then others at smaller % |

Yoruba what? Talk about igbos and hausas.. One point is.. If you head to every part of the country you must see hausa man doing his business.. There only bad side is they don't raise big structures. Igbos develop everywhere. But in general we Nigerians are hardworking people. No grudges 1 Like |

penukz2015: All those hausas or igbos are not doing any silly business. You people have damaged the meaning of that word. The hausas sell suya, the igbos sell 40,000 worth of goods in 2x2 stores and you call it business? Then it means those Yoruba women who sell moin-moin by the road side are business people too now 1 Like |

Nigeria would not be where she is today with the intervention of every ethnic group. |
