interloper: Let them continue deceiving themselves. Our administrators keep dreaming about World cup without tackling the main issues I don't see any changes anytime soon. The only solution be say make everybody dey go him papa house |

CabbieAC: But on this issue of tribalism there should be a place and time for displaying such in my own opinion, it's the obvious and brazen show of it that fans the ambers of revenge amongst ourselves, trust me the next cycle of coaches like you mentioned will definitely play such card but what eats me up is the apparent lack of tact and decor even whilst doing this abominable act which really should bother any sane minded person. Of cos in team selection?! merit should go before any other thing but again if the pool of players at once disposal are mostly from the coaches region then that in itself is a simple a case of "baggage in baggage out" . . . . . but i hope to God tribalism will one day be a thing of a distant past in our national psyche but won't put money on it just yet but okay to wish and dream i dare say! . . . . . |

interloper: What about the generational cycle and subconscious mental/psychological programming that will make people start believing other folks are naturally more gifted than them at football? It's similar to the way some Yorubas have started believing that certain folks are better than them are trading, when that isn't the case. Once you step outside the shores of Nigeria - Yorubas dominate SMEs and trading, especially in developed countries. The UK is a classic example cos Yorubas own over 90% of Nigerian business here. They need to stop this madness and stop programming folks to think a certain way. Or just divide the country. |

ProfShymex: Its even more unfortunate we have Yorubas who have fallen for this bullch!t There are Yorubas who actually believe Romanis are naturally more gifted when it comes to Soccer than us Same with the business thingy I grew up playing football and there's hardly any football field I haven't stepped on in Surulere Most of the exceptional talents I grew up with were Yorubas. |

CabbieAC: Lool. A lot of Yorubas on here believe that crap, when Ijebus, Ijeshas, and Ogbomosho folks even been trading far and wide across Africa, way before Lugard and Mungo Park were born. Also, everywhere you go in the West, where there are Nigerians - Yorubas dominate trading/business there. That's what happens when they keep programming folks with a particular thought process - they'll start doubting themselves. I played Sunday league football everywhere and if the blind knows Yorubas are one of the most talented footballers in Africa. Then you have Ghanaians, Ivorians, and Congolese folks. Don't sleep on Congo - the likes of Benteke, Kompany, Remi, N'Zonzi are Congolese. And apart from football - they're very good at basketball. I can't speak for the likes of Mali, Senegal, Guinea and other Francophone African countries cos most of them live in France, but based on the talents they have - those countries are also supremely talented. 1 Like |

Missy89: Lool. Jacket can't stop this crazy impromptu cold that came out of nowhere yesterday. It caught me unaware - and the shyte got deep into my bones cos I wore some light bomber jacket yesterday. I need you to keep me warm. Edited |

ProfShymex: If you ask them, "they said that" "they said that" is all you keep hearing Who said? Yorubas need to stop believing all these lies being spread on the internet Go out there and see what's really happening I remember someone from x tribe(you know them) saying his people have the most landlords in Lagos and instead of my Yoruba brother to counter the lie,he said "we'll seize all your properties when Nigeria divides" meaning he actually believed what the character said even though its a huge lie |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Ritchiee: 10:23pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
CabbieAC:Same with me.One thing that I have noticed about the skirties is...they don't usual give a damn about any other tribe when they are at the helms of affairs and they(I dont know why)do not feel remorse for this bad trait in them.I fear for the time one of them would become the president...lol It is only the Yorubas,I am wont to say,that are largely liberal... |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by interloper(m): 10:23pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
ProfShymex: Have often raised my concern about these latter day "self branding" by these folks . . . . reminds me of the western media machinery saying Africa is a diseased ridden continent and as such nothing good can come out of it. Of cos every tribe do have a comparative advantage in every sector of the Nigerian economy but for some group of people to constantly insist and continuously desire to drill into the consciousness of others that they are the best, the gifted, the most blessed blah blah blah yada yada yada . . . . to me its a mind game, if we don't confront this narrative headlong then they will rebrand us all over. I know they do have their weekly or monthly reorientation machinery aka village/tribal meetings all over the world were they continuously reach a quorum and devise ways of attacking anything but themselves online/offline thereby creating that aura that they rule the galaxies but am happy that with this new found cause of secession which they've being trumpeting all over every one is seeing them for who they really are, the once ordinary docile citizen from other tribes are beginning to march and collapse their propaganda machinery headlong which is very well in order if u ask me . . . . So this self deluded branding will collapse sooner than later. |

Someone will sit on his torn mattress somewhere in his tent-sized room in Abakaliki telling you his people have bought all the Lands in Lagos and you believe him |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 10:29pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
CabbieAC: Lool. Classic social engineering via propaganda. Thank God we have this thread here to educate Yorubas who have started doubting themselves. Yorubas can do anything/everything once they put their minds to it and our different subgroups represent our diversity, hence we're a nation on our own. I remember some lunkhead was telling me on a next thread that Yorubas can't play football during the last world cup lol. I had to smack his arse. Football? Like I never played football to Uni level, with loads of supremely gifted/talented Yoruba guys. If we get to the nitty gritty of it, Yorubas might be the most talented group, when it comes to football in Nigeria. The landlord tripe is similar to the bogus population nonsense. I don't even think those folks are up to 20% of the population of Lagos. It's just basically like saying cos there are loads of black people in London, that automatically means the population of black folks in London is over 40%, when in reality, it's just 7%. 1 Like |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by forgiveness: 10:36pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
interloper: @bolded on your first quote has already began. How many Yorubas do we see as National coaches from the junior to the senior National teams for both the male and female teams? None. Are they not qualify enough? No.. Mutiu Adepoju and Henry Makinwa are both equally qualified to coach any of the National teams if having a UEFA pro license is the determinant factor used in hiring national coaches. How many Yorubas do you see in the National teams? Very few. Are they not talented or playing in top European leagues? That's not true. We have a load lots of them playing regularly for top clubs in Europe. But why are they not looked upon for the National teams? I believe you already know the answers hence your submissions in the last post. |

ProfShymex: Those folks you listed out there are actually the doyens of the yorubas trading expeditions and boy o'l boy there market coverage is way out of this world especially the ogbomosho crowd, that i know very much . . . . . spent a good donkey years in the last millennia in one of the unity schools out there and i can remember vividly every household out there had a very very strong trading and families ties to Ivory coast . . . . one third of the town folks then could speak french nicely both old on young . . . . .they have a funny way of pronouncing Abidjan which i so much love hearing and of cos fa! But like a typical yoruba trader, they boast not but rather quietly carry on with their day today businesses . . . . . .some of them that were very successful had absolutely no affinity to Lagos and all her nuances . . . . . .they are just cruising on their lane, chopping and cleaning mouth! My adopted town i most confess . . . . .hahaha |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 10:50pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
interloper: You just hit the nail on head. I've always wondered why they use the same pattern to disseminate these atrocious lies everywhere for social engineering - now I understand better. The whole campaign of calumny against other groups - while spreading propaganda about their non-existent superiority is well orchestrated and oiled by a machine. Folks need to start countering it with facts, before they start subconsciously messing up the psyche of the other groups. The only thing they're superior at is noise making everywhere like parrots. The whole secession is well orchestrated as well. Only a fool won't know that. If not, where are they getting the funding to mobilise folks from? Anyway, I want them to go, so Yorubas can grow and achieve greatness. We already have the blueprint/consciousness - all we need is implementation within a space where we can thrive as a people. |

interloper: Loool. I actually had a chat with a Ghanaian rastafarian recently and he was the one who schooled me about Ogbomosho folks. There are loads of them in Ghana who have lived there for generations yano. |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by forgiveness: 10:56pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
CabbieAC: This one na em come pain me pass. You're still thinking 'this one fit no enter National team' when he no go fit play again for the National team. While Oliseh and Co was still chasing after an academy player(Alex Iwobi) over an established premier league player (Dele Ali) playing for one of best clubs there, England don do the needful to have made him played in a FIFA recognized matche and that alone has made him ineligible again for selection into the Nigeria National team. The guy even scored against France in their last friendly match. What an irony. Mediocre at the highest... |

ProfShymex: The emboldened is actually the reason why I registered. I viewed as a guest for about one month but the lies were soo much I had to register I think the discussion was about the X people owning businesses in Lagos and I was like Emi Omo Ajoke I have to counter this I also noticed there were Yorubas who believed those lies so it was necessary for someone like me who knows what's really happening to come in |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 11:01pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
CabbieAC: Loool. That's why I go on those threads to post facts. Every time I see those threads - I just log on and post facts with references. Eff their emotions. Don't be doing that social engineering crap with propaganda and lies when I'm there. |
