There are lots of yoruba kids with talents but what i've observed is the flateenos have a way of travelling out of the country,i have no idea how they do it.Back home as at 2007, I had some guys i use to play soccer with, there were both yorubas and flateenos who were good among them.3 of those flateenos are playing in europe now,I even know one who is in ukraine.The yoruba ones are still in Naija

Aareonakakanfo:
IyaIode most of those sport stars didn't start in Naija,they grew up outside the country.Its hard for the Yoruba youths in Nigeria to go international.Even the idea that we dominate basketball is a hoax,this is Nigeria's basketball team

[b]But tech is the new thing man.Forget about all those Yoruba adage,that was during their time,things have changed.Going back to trading is like we rewinding ourselves to 19th century.The time will come when all these 2x2 shops won't be profitable anymore.I love the fact that Yorubas have cornered the tech sector and that's the way to go.Everything is being bought online these days and even spareparts [/b]I understand your drift.How many people are ICT literate?A million people cannot do online biz, not in this present Nigeria anyway, but a couple of millions can go into trading...an illiterate and lazy man avenue to make it in life.Hardship and the civil war pushed our eastern brothers and the Kwarans(hardship) into trade which does not need much expertise and intelligence...and these people own a chunk of landed properties in Lagos.Yorubas hate to copy.but we should remember Iyalode o...lol







Maaaaaaan i've been to Osun state several times except i visited another Osun. Yeah it might have a good road network i.e the way the roads link with one another but it doesn't have the "best roads"..Just to add, Osogbo is the best city in Nigeria in terms of electricity supply.I don't know why, the light hardly goes off

aogo sounds like a ghanian name

asha80:
[url][/url]nothing shows this guy has Yoruba lineage

SirShymexx:
Those are the ones I know, unless you want me to post the over 50 Yoruba teenagers playing for the different academies of EPL teams.

Err...I'll post Ola Aina, Odubajo, and a next guy playing for Man City. They're decent prospects.

Missy89, post a few females...What's the name of that volleyball player I posted a few weeks ago? Can't remember her name now - the one with the extremely beautiful face.

SirShymexx:


Okay, he's Igbo. Are you happy now?

Why would I put him there if he isn't Yoruba?

SirShymexx:


It might be a shortened version of a next name. But I know he's of Yoruba and Nigerian descent. The name itself is unique - and apart from him, his dad, and a next bank in Nigeria (Aogo micro finance bank, ondo. Ondo State, Nigeria). No one else bears the name.

Foluke Akinradewo

bugzbunny:

Scratch façed fools. Will keep witnessing it

asha80:
well if he is of yoruba descent there is something to show for it wouldn't there be?

superduperjay:
No my friend form osun is aogo. Its a yoruba name don't know what it means tho.

SirShymexx:


So, you think he's Igbo - don't you? - hysterical

Everyone knows the guy's dad is Yoruba. And not all Yorubas have Yoruba last names.

Would you call Anthony Joshua a non-Yoruba if I were to post what everyone calls him, without his middle name?

SirShymexx:


Don't mind the guy - he's just trying to derail the thread.
