ajebuter:
Why is this man suddenly voicing out the ills in his society?

Probably nursing a political ambition or subtly campaigning for someone..

But then it is too late ..his people will remain backward without education and weaning themselves from religious bigotry and extremism..

kolewerk..

AkinPhysicist:
Iboe technicians?. Please don't make me laugh. When did trading become technical?

cheezy4real:







How many afonjas travel to the north?

EazyMoh:

1. All the schools put together can not accomodate up to 10,000 students! Thats like less than 0.1% of the out of school kids in the north.
2. While GEJ Almajiri schools are a laudable good idea, but executing it was all politics. While the schools were grossly inadequate, the running of the schools was left in the hands of state governments. And GEJ and his administration moved on as if they had solved Almajiriship problem in the north.

Okoyiboz1:


It may be irrelevant to you because you are not intelligent. I had to hit the OP hard because I fully understood his underlying intentions.

As for my ethnicity, I belong to the tribe which is your greatest nightmare. The tribe that you wish you were born into. The one you compare your most successful men with.

DrDeji20:
what is this fake news

FriendNG:


What has his trash changed?

engrchykae:
let me educate you a little,the traders and merchants of igbo are the anambra and enugu,the technicians are from abia state,the farmers are from ebonyi while imo state are mostly civil servants.dont stay in one corner of southwest and be spewing rubbish,go to aba and nnewi and see the uncrowned kings of technical prowess and the true hope of the black race to make a technological statement in the world.the lagos-ibadan and kano-kaduna and port harcourt industrial axis are just concentration of foreign firms,its only aba and nnewi industrial axis that can pride itself as indigenous.

TheRealestGuy:


We need more northern elites to speak up like SLS.

This 10th century Islam your ppl insist on practising is dead and will surely be phased out.

Religion, just like every other thing has to be dynamic and change with the times or it will become obsolete and die off, whether with a fight or without...

Karlman:
...had to butt in here after a hard laugh...pls write this on the walls of your skull...NO IGBO, MAN, WOMAN OR BEAST, DEAD, ALIVE OR UNBORN WILL EVER CONSIDER THE YORUBA AS ANYTHING WORTHY OF BEING. ...every tribe in this country know you lot are a ZERO. ...there are good individuals among you lot but as a people guy una be zero...

bakynes:

The reason why in all countries Igbos have a large community, people hate Igbos is not because of their success or business acumen, it is because of their boastful nature. They believe they are superior to every one else.

Even if you are better than your host must you boast in their faces, that's why they deport igbos from Ghana, SA, India, Singapore,Indonesia etc.

Chinese people travel all over the world as well you can never see them disrespect their host nor boast in their faces of how better they are than their host.

Just imagine how mischevious the OP made it look like the Emir was referring to the Igbos even if the Igbos are the most dominant tribe as side from the indigenous tribe, the Emir did not still mention a particular tribe.

goddasonik:
lol..neva knew yorubas are full of hate till I joined Nairaland, also talking of trust, d 1st word that comes to mind when a yoruba name is mentioned is betrayer

UAE123:
True talk from Emir Sanusi & i will like to see more traditional/religious leaders speak more about the growth & development of their areas more openly than keeping quiet.

KungLaoooo:



Guyyyyy which business acumen are you even talking about sef. When did the opening of 2x2 shops all over the place become business acumen? abi na drug smuggling you dey refer to as business acumen? We might as well say all those Pakistanis and Indians that own convenience stores all over the place are business minded nah.

Secondly, they aren't even the most dominant non-indigenous tribe in Kano. They don't outnumber Yorubas in Kaduna and Kano. There are many Yoruba settlements and markets in those 2 states. I can't speak for the other Northern states. Those who know those places will tell you

AshiwajuFoward:


Yinmu. You are talking crap. Aba and Nnewi or whatever you call them have nothing on the SW in terms of ICT. We are talking cutting edge innovative ICT software related start-ups akin to Silicon Valley's ecosystem, the kind that have given us the Googles, Amazons, Facebooks, etc that are to day worth more than many economies put together. We are talking ICT that truly scales, that deals with providing high quality software products and services, not your people's signature buying and selling please. Not the already disrupted 'brick and mortar' analogue/old technology you are talking about. Even your own kinsmen acknowledge this much. See the following thread to educate yourself: https://www.nairaland.com/2674858/yorubas-cornered-nigerias-ict-sector

Go to computer village and confirm for yourself that while your kinsmen face their buying and selling, the Yorubas dominate the more technical areas of fixing and replacing motherboards, phones, software engineering and the likes. #Fact.

ozoebuka1:
Sure, I blame the op, but the "igbo" in his post shouldn't have made some people discard all the wonderful things the Emir said. Only hate could make one focus on attacking igbos because d op generalized while abandoning the main message.

kingsouthie:

Nwanne calm ur nerves down im not even yoruba, n i dont think yorubas are hateful either, d problem here is this "chestbeating" attitude the op succeded in exemplifying with his initial post which has...as usual drawn hatred towards igbos...and my statement about trust is in reference to what some of my northern co-workers say n I have close friends from mbaise as well.

bakynes:

That Chesteating and boastful attitude is just in their DNA, they feel they are superior to everybody else that's why whether in Yoruba Land, Hausa land, Benin land, Ijaw land, SA, Ghana they hate Igbos.

Ugobest007:
I can see a man building his way to contest for election soon...




I don't kw weda u dey see weten I dey see.





Team
you are probably the only one seeing what you are seeing. How many times in your life did you ever see a 1st class ruler in nigeria leave his seat to contest for a political office? How many times? Your cynicism is completely unnecessary.
NAIRAOMM

AshiwajuFoward:


Look at this I.Q deficient ignoramus. Who is dragging your markets with you?? Did you read about me dragging Nnewi or Aba with una? Well I ain't surprised anyway coz everything starts and ends in the market with you lots. I dey talk ICT, you dey talk markets. Abeg fvck off my mention jo.

Alexis11:

For somebody like me that have studied the Igbos very well, I am not surprised that the OP immediately assumed Sanusi was talking about them as the only aim they have is to dominate the south. The hatred they have for the Yorubas is simply because they always put them in check so that they can not openly display their Igbo supremacy mentality.


I don't blame him though but the mod that put this on front page.



He forgot they are not talking about spare part sellers here.
