southniyikaye:it's annoying how people lie through their noses just to feel good about themselves. Enter any class in any Nigerian university (both in the southwest) and take statistics of the high flying students and you will find out that majority are igbos. That's the truth! 2 Likes |

Yoruba having more scholars than igbos is a farce...most of the south eastern unis are indigenous to igbo folks..hw many yorubas can u find schooling in the east? But universities in the south west has huge igbo presence!! 4 Likes |

humilitypays:says me.its obvious due to the love we Igbo have for money |
Re: Interesting FACTS About Nigerians By Tribes That Will Make You Laugh & Frown by humilitypays(m): 7:54pm On May 20, 2016 |
ericanex:lol, I understand but Igbos are more prone to do drug trafficking than rituals...it was Nollywood movies that painted that wrong image of Igbo people as fore-runners in money ritual...whereas it's not the reality. I am not saying Igbos don't do money ritual, all tribes do money ritual, but money ritual is more prevalent among the Yorube tribe in reality, that's my point Erica ![]() If you have worked in a multi-tribal and multi-racial organization in Nigeria before, u will then realize how Yorubas believe in juju a lot. Most top Yoruba corporate managers in oil companies, banks, telecoms, logistics firms, FMCGs, shipping firms, etc are all into juju to keep their job and to silence their superiors (company owners and CEOs) from investigating their illicit corporate financial activities. They bring Alfas, patronize all sorts of babalawo just to be at the top and silence onlookers. I speak from real life experiences; not 1 or 2. Igbos don't usually believe in holding firmly to a top managerial position at all cost in another man's company like Yorubas do. Each Nigerian tribe have their shortcoming...Igbos are usually cunning in business deals compared to any other tribe. 1 Like |

humilitypays:Yorubas do theirs to influence. But if you talk of sacrificing humans to get money bros it's igbos,movie makers get inspiration from their immediate environment just like one poster mentioned |
Re: Interesting FACTS About Nigerians By Tribes That Will Make You Laugh & Frown by humilitypays(m): 9:29pm On May 20, 2016 |
kuuljay:Yes, some movie producers get their inspiration from stories happening around their immediate environment while most only forge stories based on what they feel would sell well and fast, of which money ritual storyline sells faster. And u know Igbos dominated the Nigerian movie industry at the start, so they kept churning out the same Emeka and Nnamdi did money ritual storyline to make money from their movies which they succeeded but ended up giving the rest of Nigerians the impression that Igbos are ritualists. I remember a time they accused someone I know very well; a relation of being a ritualist...whereas this person was even suffering and toiling so hard to breakthrough. Me, I speak from personal experience; I know more igbo drug traffickers than ritualists. What Igbos did more in the past 10, 15yrs was 419 (now Yahoo Yahoo) than ritual and people called it money ritual then because they didn't understood how those guys made huge money in a short period of time not knowing it was internet scam or fraud now widely known as Yahoo-Yahoo which the Yorubas have now taken over fully. So my brother, from facts based on news we even read online on daily basis now, we can't argue the fact that most money ritual dens and killings happen in Yoruba land while most drug trafficking offenses recorded of recent are done by Igbos. The facts and figures are glaring bro...even in Yoruba land, there is a many decade ago cultural practice whereby family do money ritual for their children and keep it as a secret, believe me, such cultural practice doesn't exist in Igbo land. From my little involvement in Nigeria's corporate environment and from my long residence in Yoruba land, I can boldly tell you that Yorubas are more fetish than most Nigerian tribes; juju and jazz are common practices in Yoruba land, reason white garment churches flourish so well in Yoruba states and communities. 4 Likes |

For instance, there was a popular Nollywood movie storyline about "Ara Nwanyi Asaba", which was portrayed by Nollywood movie producers to be a currently happening fast and effective money ritual process then....and guess what ![]() Many Okada riders chop many foolish guys' money who trooped down to Asaba in search of "Ara Nwanyi Asaba" that existed some hundred years ago. So most Nollywood stories that portrayed majority of rich men in Igbo land as money ritualists were mere exaggeration. Though there are some money ritualists in Igbo land, but not as many as Nollywood movies portrayed it. Most Igbo rich and average people made money from petty trading which other tribes looked down on not knowing it's the fastest way to make money in life. These guys will open a shop and patiently sell things piece by piece for years to amass wealth for themselves when they realized that other tribes (Hausa and Yoruba) dominated the Nigerian civil service and other corporate positions after the civil war....and over time, their patience and hardwork in trading things paid off just like Lebanese people are known globally as the leaders in grocery shop business. 1 Like |
