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. 6 Likes |

AsiwajuNdigbo: 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. |

ScotsReferendum: 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. 6 Likes |

AsiwajuNdigbo: I don't need to argue with you because I have made my point already The next time any Afonja attacks her and Jonathan, be rest assured we will remind them of this topic centered around YouWin. So keep your counsel to yourself or better still remind the Afonjas that we won't tolerate anti Okonjo and Jonathan this year . |

this guy dont understand anything Graduate yoy said? first it would have been difficult for Okonjo iweala to have asked that questions. Its a dumb question. the question should have bewn directed to group of nigerian engineers. so those who mentioned bread makings etc are manufacturers just like Dangote. if the Op is trying to make argument that Igbos are better Product manufacturers than Yoruba its a different case i agreed igbos are better product manufactuers but yorubas are better business entrepreneurs n professionals the last time i remember Dangote is richer than any of you igbo guys as a business entrepreneur even with Innoson money but Okonjo iweala wud have been so dumb to have asked that dumb prejudicial question 2 Likes |

yemaldo: Abeg allow the clowns to continue displaying their foolishness to the world. 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 , Polo-By-Ralph-LaWRence , GucCHi , 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 ). 7 Likes |

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? Bloody clowns! 5 Likes |

ImperialYoruba: 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. |

RockHard: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. 2 Likes 1 Share |
