Thanks for letting everyone know that the 'juju those Yoruba chaps cooked for your people, is still working effectively. But wait o, do you think that ethnic group really cares about what you think? Anyway, those of us who are not from the South-west will just perch in one corner, and watch the unfolding drama. Hehehe....

...despicable people will always deny their despicable tribe. ...BUT then who cares whence the hole you crawled up from?

nonsobaba:
Here in the southeast, we are also faced with this almajiri problem in the form of Ipod. Jobless, illiterate miscreants and hoodlums constituting nuisance by robbing innocent traders, smashing the windscreens of vehicles that are unfortunate to drive their way, and marching the streets with the flags of 20 different countries that don't know if they exist or not.

O boi! Are u actually IBO? If yes, then u r one of a kind. Get prepared O! Your fellow Umu Igbo will soon call u an OSU or Efulefu . just STEEL yourself pal
Man up!

ConqueredWest:
Afonjas are the worst double tongue souls on earth


Whenever crisis brews in the North, they are the first to remind us that we will have the most victims

They remind us everyday that our land is erosion prone that is why we migrate

Now that Sanusi has praised the Southerners, they immediately changed their mouths

When will Afonjas ever be stable in life

So that is praise to you.? You have no sense. I have not seen the data to back the Emir s claim One thing I know from personal experience is that Hausa speaking people are very good mechanics for trucks and many of those I know can't even speak English go to Kara in Sagamu and see for yourself When it comes to fabrication of local machines s I know Oyo is good at that.
People should not be fooled by such flattery,we heard the same thing about lawyers and judges in the 70s and 80s and for more than 30 years there was no Chief Justice from the South.So when the Emir says this let us ask what he is saying is it
Tailors
Plumbers
Bricklayers
Vulcanuzers
Painters
Mechanics
Or what exactly.
Such so called praise would appeal to the egotistic nature of Eboes
I see it completely different
Eboes are like women they like to be flattered because deep down they are insecure.
Having worked closely with Hausa mechanics I can only read the Emir as wishing for a more dominant position. I think we all should be claiming inferior if that means we get more through federal character.
The main difference I would agree to is that women tend not to learn trades but in the South even with that there is still room for improvement.
Are we to believe there are no electricians, painters, bricklayers and so on. Only a pompous fool will believe such nonsense just like people believed there were no lawyers in the north

Over 95% of manufacturing in Nigeria happenso in Lagos and Ogun . You boast so much about On its ha and still come to Lagos to load provisions on to the coaches /buses that take you home. The only manufacturing you do is counterfeiting and that is how you killed Akunyuli. You may be big in your own eyes but reality is different. The only thing you are good at is trading which is a tiny part of business. The biggest sector in Nigeris remains agriculture and you are irrelevant. Tell us what you produce that we all buy
You still come to I bad an to buy day old chicks. The only thing you are good at is boasting foolishly and arrogantly. People are making things happen everywhere from all over but the moment any one of you does anything you start your nonsense.
Thank God Dangote is not one of you but he could not be because you only employ your own.

Abeg help me drum am into his ears. The fact remains that trading is their preferred vocation, and that includes even their educated class -- the vast majority of their youth, no matter how educated, still end up setting up a shop where he imports something to trade/buy and sell, and when this fails na to try their luck with drug-trafficking.

Even at the popular Ladipo spare parts market, they majorly trade in spare parts, while the Yorubas constitute the bulk of the mechanics, rewire specialists, a/c technicians and the likes. But you will never hear them acknowledge this much. They think everyone must become a trader in order to be considered 'industrious/hardworking'. #Fact.

They love trading so much even their Senators are involved in importing rice. No creativity beyond buying and selling
Many just use the trading as front for their real business which is drugs

How many afonjas travel to the north?

seriously

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.

Why all these tribalism and hatred for each other??

southniyikaye:
Pardon my ignorance but my observations these past few weeks about sanusi,
Seem the man might want to contest for the post of the presidency in the nearest future hence all these he said this he said that.
But sincerely,he is been making salient points since he became outspoken

to say because he wants to aspire for presidency? that is very unfair to sanusi's personality, sanusi as always being a vocal person person, remember the $20 billion dollars hhe declared missing from nnpc?

BetaThings:


Don't mind them
They are no interested in the message
They are only interested in the addressee of the message
If the same person says that Jonathan Govt was really fraudulent,a lot of them will immediately tag him a liar

BTW - Sanusi forgets that a lot of artisans in the South are now from neighbouring countries and even China

U should be ashamed of yourself..so in a bid to discredit whatever supposed "gain" you think southern Nigerians have judging by the Emir's comment, you now choose to export the "gain" to China and neighbouring countries

You should just have kept your mouth shut

blackberlin:
True royal blood. He never fears people from and outside his own tribe.

He single handedly fought against the national assembly and fished out the fish-eye woman called Allison Madueke Dieziani for the unremitted sum of $20Billion. But trust Nigerians, we hate honest people with a passion.

I look forward to the day when we'll have a man like Sanusi as President of Nigeria.

i was a bit disappointed when sanusi offered to be the emir of kano.he would have made a great president:he is sensible and he has conscience

khSteel:



Now, this is the kind of lies and misinformation that should not be allowed to see the light of day.

You are condemning everything about GEJ's initiative in the provision of schools to some children in the North but you carefully did not mention the Governors in charge of those areas.

First, provision of primary & secondary education are the sole responsibility of the State & Local government, nothing concerns FG in that area. Please consult your constitution for more information.

Secondly, Peter Obi made so much investment in Education in Anambra State during his stay as the Executive Governor of Anambra State. Then, the question is what are Northern governors doing with all those huge monthly allocations? Most States in North collect huge allocations way bigger than what Anambra State get, yet they can't make the right investments in their Education. Some months back we all heard of Jigawa State conducting Tendering process for the construction of Mosque in all its LGA, yet people like you will leave this blatant misappropriation of State funds to start blaming GEJ.

GEJ simply showed them an initiative and actively participated in that initiative; what they - the respective governors do with that initiative is left to them.

FG build schools for them and hand it over to them yet you want make FG still manage the school? Na so them dey do for your side? Papa go marry wife for pikin, you still want make Papa come help his pikin do the needful? hmmm

How many primary & secondary schools has/did FG (including GEJ) built in the Southern States? Please enough of this useless pampering.

@poster,

Kindly remove Igbos in your write-ups. Free Igbos from your hate-induced threads.


@Post

Southerner leaders should be on the alert when write-ups like this start coming from the usual quarters.

Sanusi as CBN governor did all CBN's CSR in the North none whatsoever for the SE. He pumped billions of Naira on Universities in Kano, Borno, etc. and none for any university in SE & others.

Sanusi can inspire his Northern people to greatness without putting people from the south in the equation because when an "excuse" (maybe another cartoon in Denmark) occurs there won't be any need for their youth to unleash their anger/hatred on people from the south since their youths will never understand the context Sanusi used in referencing the south in this his write-up.

Go and read my first and second posts on this thread I commended GEJ for the Almajiri schools. You can't jump into the middle of conversation like that. I am not praising the governors claiming they are the best the way you are doing to Peter Obi.

The next census will ethnicity into consideration. I hope your lot will not start blabbing that it is against national unity. The fact remains that outside their region yoruba are office workers ,herbalists and tailors. So how many can you count. It doesn't require much efforts. Support the next census.

Maduawuchukwu:


And who told u Igbo guys are not verstile? Are we not big in manufacturing? are we not big in transport? are we not big in the hospitality business? Are we not big in the IT industry? Are we not the biggest In banking?
Yorubas are a great people and with the Igbo constitute the salt of Nigeria but you guys should stop trying to stereotype Igbo people as mere traders cos it ain't so.

bro! U really need to understand words in the context in which they are used. Yoruba and Igbo are great nations no doubt, but the O.P was cunningly trying to elevate one and indirectly insult the other by infusing words into the emir's statement. Hope you get the drift

Maduawuchukwu:

Rubbish! You guys always say that Igbo people are refugees from an unproductive region who run to other lands to escape poverty. Now you claim that Yoruba people are more than Igbo people in Kano just because the Emir praised southerners in his state. Choose one, are u guys in great numbers in the north in which case u are running from poverty in ur region or are u guys in few numbers there as ur region is viable in which case,the Emirs praises were not
primarily targeted at the Yoruba?

Solid logic. Epic response.

Fact?? See why I taya for una type?
Office workers, herbalist and tailors waoh!
No construction worker, no mechanics, no tradesman
Just herbalist, tailors and office workers. I am really tired of calling people DUMB on here already.
Anyway! Until then, I mean the next cencus, stop peddling rumours in the name of facts. Peace

its so disheartening the way issues are viewed through tribal lenses on nl.its a known fact that when it comes to running businesses in naija,the ibos come first and the emir was admonishing his people to try be as versatile as the ibos.before the civil war,the ibos were d the richest in nigeria.eg,ojukwu's father

We are derailing this thread with ethnic slants. We need to stay on the issue - which is about developing the North.

better stop saying nonsense,ur tribalistic brain is making u say shit.d emir said in kano,not oyo,the ibos run the businesses there,wats ur beef,am not ibo,but i dnt see the need for ur envy,is he not the emir,you wan sabi hausa people pass am.everytribe in nigeria involves in business,but d fact that there are more ibo businessmen is undisputable.

Mr. Kindly do us all a favour and stop this unnecessary argument of who is more or less in the north. The O.P added to SLS's words in order to score a cheap point and you are here arguing balderdash! Na wa for u O

Lol. First of all that statistics is a big lie. Secondly, the reason why Most manufacturing coys are there is because Lagos is the Nigerian commercial and not a typical Yoruba city like Oshogbo. The Nigerian government maintains the only fully functioning seaport there and that is one of the key reasons for the industrial density there.
You and I know that the companies in that Axis are owned by all members of Nigerian tribes tribes not Yoruba alone. Was it not the former military Governor of the western region who wrote a letter to Tinubu before he died complaining that even the industrial complex in the Lagos-Ogun axis is now dominated by people from other tribes?
Yoruba are a great people but if you want to go tribalistic stop claiming the achievements of other people of Nigeria as your own merely because their establishments are located in Lagos which is Nigeria's commercial capital and which was developed by all Nigerians. Thank you.

I understand you bro and as a matter of fact some of you are beginning to break the stereotype I had developed about ibos on naira land here. I was actually expecting ....thunder fire your....., ana ma GBA akanti .... Responses from you. But you proved me wrong, second time today.
Anyway, if you can't take the heat, stay "OUTSIDE" Nairaland has become what it is; an avenue to bring our ethnic differences to the fore. There is sadly nothing u and I can do about it with peeps like the O.P on here

Ngokafor:




....So now you out-number Igbos in the north now,even Kano??..wonders shall never end!
....yet you lots go about town claiming Igbos are the majority Southern ethnic group in the north,who are most at risk in case of tribal reprisals??..Igbos were even threatned by you deluded lots with being at the receiving end in the north if northerners rs should avenge your killing of their tribes-men in ile-ife.....Now you are suddenly everywhere..

...Mehn even the devil himself will marvel at your lies and false-hood..i really fear una no be small.

See why we knock you ipob clowns. Una no dey read!!

"Yorubas outnumber Iborikitis in Kano and Kaduna". How you managed to convert that to the whole "North" is your business

Secondly, Yorubas have been in the North for centuries. Did you hear me? CENTURIES! Especially in Nupe and Hausa land

I don't know about those saying Iborikitis are the majority southern tribe in the North. File your complaints to them. All I know is that y'all don't outnumber us in Kano and Kaduna.

Thirdly, the only reason why you clowns have been at the receiving end of ethnic attacks in the North is because of your fanatical approach to Christianity and politics. Na una dey always dey go piss on top Quran or do some silly chit . Even in the 60s after killing their leaders, y'all mocked them in their own land

felaismyhero:
i was a bit disappointed when sanusi offered to be the emir of kano.he would have made a great president:he is sensible and he has conscience

He didn't plan to become the Emir of Kano, he did it under pressure when the Jonathan administration was trying to silence him for exposing the fraud.

I was also disappointed because I knew it wouldn't be easy for him to relinquish the throne and go into mainstream politics. Perhaps he'll perform better sensitizing the already demoralized nothern Nigeria as he's doing right now.

He wanted to lecture at a French university before the entire brouhaha, but this was the only way he could seek refuge from being victimized by PDP stalwarts. A lot of people who know nothing about Nigerian politics nor benefitted a pin from Jonathan administration will criticize based on ethnicity. Such a huge shame.

But in the real world y'all aren't any better than the next person, certainly not in potential, so y'all can shove your supremacist bull crap up your a$$es.

And FYI, una no be any 'biggest' in banking. Where would you then put the SWesterners controlled GTBank, First bank, FCMB, Sterling Bank, Wema Bank, Skye Bank, Stanbic Chartered bank, amongst others? Smh.

I am sorry for using the word "biggest" there. I wanted to use one of the biggest. But hope you know that GTBank is owned by a Bini man and not Yoruba? Hope u know that Standard chartered is mainly a South African Owned Bank? . Hope u know only UBA and Zenith bank which are Igbo owned swallow up most of these banks u mentioned?

Ikeja became Nigeria's foremost manufacturing area after the civil war when Nigeria became highly unitarized. Before then, Ikeja was In the league of manufacturing regions like Kakuri in Kaduna where I was born or Sharada in Kano. So Ikeja did not become great under the control of the political elite of the west.

What exactly is the problem with you people? Ok you have more igbos in the entire North than any other tribe. Is that an achievement? Ok only igbos are technicians in the whole North... are you satisfied? When they say you people suffer from low self esteem, you get angry. Why do you always have something to proof about your tribe? Why should you be so insecure. Any little thing you want to prove that you are better than every other person.
