It is good you wrote they claim to be most sophisticated and educated. Any fool can claim anything.

The Afonjas claim of sophistication has being destroyed this final hour of 2016

I don't even know why I'm indulging you.

Go and read your original post again and ask yourself if you are making sense.

You come here with a fabricated story because you look at your life in 2016 and saw that you didn't achieve anything, then to feel good you decided to yab Yorubas ba?

It won't work.

Go and find something better to do instead of trolling online.

You that you're screaming, where's your own prototype?
bros save us the wailings.what has SW produced with all their abragabra sophistication.

You just exposed for the world to see that you are just another bitter ipod who's jealous of those sophisticated people from the West Side (the best side) cheesy . We don't claim sophistication, no, na other Nigerians including some exposed and enlightened ones amongst your own kinsmen refer to us in that manner. If it pains you so much, here's a noose... put yourself out of your misery. Just end it.. cheesy

This question/challenge should be to all Nigerians generally. I'm not sure I understand why it has to be sectionalised or tribalised or politicised.
it has to be because this lugardian contraption has been sectionalized, tribalized and politicized from time immemorial.

Umuigbo, this is addressed to you.
Let's stop making a f00l of ourselves on internet. This nonsense has to stop. Mrs Iweala is in the elite class of Igbo people anywhere on the globe. No one in Igboland compares to her, whether it's in Nigeria or in the diaspora. Let's treat her with respect. When we do that, by extension, our people are respected. Stop making ridicule of her infront ot Nigerians. This thread is a mockery and leaves her vulnerable to insults. We are trying to mock Yorubas but we end up becoming clowns on internet. Stop it.

You are wrong

You know that the people who attack her the most are Yorubas.

So this thread has finally opened the eyes of Yoruba graduates to the fact that she is not the cause of their unemployment rather they are not truly educated properly to make good use of opportunities around them.

So watch how they will think twice before attacking her this year

Mark my words, most who read comments here will never openly attack her again on social media.

Finally I have shown Igbos like you the Achilles heels of Yorubas

So the next time Jonathan and Okonjo are attacked by Yoruba people, link them to topics like this to silent them.

Do you think Mrs Iweala give a hoot whether Yoruba graduates are employed or not, whether they are enterprising or not? Do you know how many hate emails and criticisms she receives from different classes and ethnics of people? Her own fellow Igbo, Chukwuma Soludo criticized her and in the online expose following that millions of Igbos agreed with Soludo and opposed Iweala calling her abusive names.

So Im truly not sure where your perception come from that by showing the laxity in education or enterprising in Yorubas you upgrade Mrs Iweala or she can add this to her resume as an achievement. I pity you really.

Yorubaland is wealthy. Their wealth is enormous. They can push a button and come up with self-preserving policies and options that place their people first above others and will not be violating any statues of our constitution at all. Ambode just came up with a employment aid program and one of the first set of winners is an Igboman. It has nothing whatsoever to do with our abilities, rather it is an act of charity for them to be inclusive and open this aid to all. We argued this point before Ambode came to power and there were Ndigbos that promised Ambode will be taken to court and sued for violating constitutiin if he discriminated against Igbos and excluded us from his Administration.

We are our own enemies, I swear. No Igbo in Ambode Administration and Im yet to see him sued for violating constitution. The constitution only protects programes that are Federal, anything managed under State policies can be exclusive for the people who customarily own that state.

Yorubas cannot exclude us from residing in their lands because constitution protects that but we will be in trouble if Yorubas shut us out of enabling programes that have served as head start for some of our greatest sons and daughters.

I go back to what I said earlier, leave Iweala out of your nonsense and stop putting her in positions where haters rubbish her publicly.

I don't need to argue with you because I have made my point already

Abeg allow the clowns to continue displaying their foolishness to the world. cheesy There's absolutely nothing they produce in their region that the SWesterners haven't done already or can't replicate, absolutely none. We have our own indigenous industrialists, engineers and fabricators ( e.g http://www.abielect.com ). We are just not noisemakers or empty vessels like them, that's what differentiates us from them.

Even the Aba they are making pangolo noise about is MOSTLY/NOTORIOUSLY known for churning out substandard knockoffs/imitations of known/popular brands and rechristening them as Tommy-HilFiNGer grin , Polo-By-Ralph-LaWRence grin , GucCHi cheesy , etc, and then begging the public to buy them as the originals. What could be more stupid than that? Their signature products are mostly substandard shoes and clothes that don't last.

Sadly enough for them, while they are busy trying to convince people that their knockoffs/imitations are the real deal, SWest tailors/designers and Cobblers/shoemakers are proudly creating indigenous BRANDS (e.g http://www.ynorth.com.ng , http://www.shoespeed.com ) that are doing better and making Nigerians and foreigners feel PROUD to wear their products -- rather than try to steal other people's established & foreign brand names to try to sell their products like some are known for cheesy ).

Okonjo Iweala asked some group of Yoruba graduates in Lagos that if President Buhari pledges to give each of them 30,000,000 million naira interest free non refundable business grant to establish manufacturing businesses that can produce the things imported into Nigeria base on one condition. Which is to produce a workable and marketable prototype of anything imported into Nigeria.

This is perfect illustration why Yorubas portray this over-rated puffpuff as a beneficiary who without Obasanjo's kindness and inclusion would be a nobody in the scheme of political circles. Inspite of her Ivy Class education she continues to lack merit and original ideas on how to be a change agent.

First, a grant is an award, an endowment, to serve as working capital towards the execution of a project benefitting community. A grant is never a loan and is not expected to be paid back.

So when puffpuff begins by asking these graduates what they will do with a interest-free, non-refundable grant, it opens the door for one to recall two ex-CBN Governors, Soludo and Sanusi, who both charge that Madam is a glorified illiterate in field of finance and a model for incompetency in area of policy & strategy.

I stopped here and did not bother to read rest of OP's post as he openly embarasses Madam in his attempt to ridicule Yoruba.

OP, did you read what your brother, ashiwajuigbo wrote?

Lamentation of a Yoruba man


What imported goods can you produce if given #30 million naira to establish a small scale industry to help Buhari's government escape recession caused by over dependence on importation and dollar scarcity


Yoruba graduates should save Buhari's government from recession by replacing foreign goods with their own indigenous products.

Don't mind Yorubas and their claim of sophistication/education

If they are truly sophisticated, they should save Buhari's government from recession by proliferation of indigenous industries to supply those things we find difficult to import due to dollar scarcity

you have not gone there to do your research you only talk from misconception.
The southeast have established brands from pharmaceuticals to military armored vehicles and aircraft spare parts.Manufacturing companies like innoson who is into heavy duty trucks and luxurious bus business. OGBUAWA is also doing great in motorcycle manufacturing. cutix cables, juhel pharmaceuticals,Masters energy is also there. Thousands of shoe cobblers like the ones that just delivered 50,000 military boots to NA,multiple micro industries are lettered around the region.
Talking about substandard, China produces substandards too and standard to depending on your demand and purchasing power same applies too.if you want standard products like the boots the NA got delivery of,then reach a deal with the SE manufacturers and get it delivered.The VP and Abdulsami Abubakar who recently paid a visit to the region praise it for its giant strides in indigenous manufacturing.

Can any of them produce any of those products imported into the Nation.?

Fellow Nigerians see confusion on their faces.

Imagine one mentioned bread making while another mentioned liquid soap and antiseptics.


So I put it to you guys and ladies out there

Can you produce a workable and marketable prototype of any of the things imported into Nigeria in order to get this business loan?

The challenge is up to you people especially those of you who blame Jonathan past admnistration daily for your unemployment situation.
