Obi1kenobi:


It's funny, sha. A few weeks back, I attended a pretty big, high-society wedding in Ikeja - some big Edo guy and big Yoruba girl - with all these industry CEO's and politicians attending. When it was time to throw the bouquet, the Yoruba bride was calling out all her best friends and most of the names she called were Igbo prompting the MC to crack a joke about it. A lot of these guys fooling around here don't make this empty noise in the real world, but spend all their time online acting like playground kids. It's a shame.

OP, there are things that will make people leave or relocate from their home region to another region. jobs, business etc.... apart from abuja and Lagos, which other area will you see Yorubas moving to in large numbers? the Yorubas i know dont like living outside the zone same as Northerners. now, igbos move out because of their adventurous nature. some of the businesses igbos are into, can you leave your region to do that another region? the business minded yorubas i know after service dont go back. they start up their businesses in the east and are doing very well.

someone wrote about no south east state was among the first 10 highest IGR. he forgot that it's still same Igbos who left their land to do business in their region also contributed to that.

so OP, the only answer to your question is to ask your self, what is the percentage of yorubas living in other states outside yoruba land(excluding Abuja)?

ArmedRobber:
I see ,with this ur Aba logic isreal took over america economy because of america peoples weakness.

With the yeye markets the two states combined cannot generate internal revenues up to Ogun state

Lloydfather:
where do u think those revenues comes from? Land borders and who are the people paying for this? The easterners. Most of Igbo traders goods flows through this borders.



That's why Lagos can boast to be the highest earners in times of revenues, the easterners contribute 70% of Lagos revenues. Ask me how and I will tell u

ArmedRobber:
cab u provide the fact and figures how igbos contribute 70% of Lagos revenues

bakynes:

You have started with your stupid figures again. All your contributions no reach Wetin one Man in the person of Dangote contribute to Lagos. Not to talk of other big Yoruba Billionaires in Femi Otedola and Adenuga paying Huge tax for their facilities scattered around Lagos.

The problem with you people is that you are too boastful in nature.

Shawnnn01:


A very large size of Yoruba live in Kaduna, Edo, Rivers, Delta and more are moving into Akwa Ibom steadily.

ArmedRobber:
not me instead

Sammy07:
The truth is the igbos aren't accommodating @ll, meanwhile they will come to Yoruba land and will be doing okada (motor cycle ) riders...

& they'll even beg to be gateman

80% of. igbos in Yoruba land are either gateman or motor cycle riders....

you also say you contribute to Yoruba land,,, well lemme ask if you finally gain independence from Nigeria,,, your development you contributed to other lands, will you carry them along to your new country

The biggest market in west Africa is at Onitsha.

Now a quick question for the Op, if the biggest market in west Africa is situated in south east, yet they don't have any cosmopolitan city, does it mean that the people of the southeastern Nigeria are the biggest tribe in Africa or Nigeria? No!

It means that those market are occupied by people of other tribes who eke out a living there.

I grow up knowing some of our southwest brother to deal in herbal medicine in the east, gbogbonise, and agbo Jedi. And they make good mechanics as well.

I also knows our northern brothers to deal in foodstuff, beans, groundnut, and sugarcane. They deal with livestock.

Now my question for the Op is this, how many southeastern states have u been to?

We have Ama Awusa, in Aba. Do you know what that means? it means The Hausa quarters. we have some Hausa quarters in Enugu and IMO, if go to anambra state, it's same story.

Go to any village, you will find "Omo Baba Ogun traditional herbal home" they live with the indigenes.
Likewise in every garage in the east there is a yorubaman up in their echelon of power.

So tell me, if you say they are not accommodating, why do those people live with them?

And most importantly for your information, there have never been any communal disturbance that people will go into strangers quarters to slaughter them at will in the southeast.


my simple advice is that you check your facts before writing next time.

You can as well help yourself by travelling rather than sitting before your computer to write things you basically don't understand.

you hardly hear about activities of other Nigerian tribes in south east apart from the herdsmen, is there no cosmopolitan state in south east??

Arda1000:
Yes the jewish noise makers were developing yoruba land while you guys were busy with witch craft and socecry

ApolitiCal:
The natives even run to South West and some developed parts of the north

TheStronghold:
did they also develop the US and England too?

MXrep:

This is abeokuta, a shitty dead town. Stop chestbeating with companies owned by foriegners and igbos taking advantage of Obasanjo's west African gas pipeline project that passed through ogun state.

Youngadvocate:


Mu*u...so u forget these areas were largely developed by the same Ndigbo.

Visit intellectual works u would find the N-Arch theory. That's what the Igbo have over other Nigerian and that is what drives them.

One who has High N-Arch hardly settles in one's environment because one has high propensity to succeed and that prompts one to seek means outside one's reach to spring business.

ArmedRobber:
that's why u see them lurking around even in north east region. That says a lot about their landlocked region.

Imagine none of the land of Biafra make top 11 of IGR and they call northern states parasites how about that?

dangote, otedola and Adenuga as u quote don't pay much import duties as their Igbo counterpart, they have import waivers from the government.

bakynes:

When we talking about cosmopolitan, we talking about various tribes having a residing community not coming to buy and go back.or the few scattered all over the SE.

Go to dugbe,Ojo area in Ibadan that's a good igbo community go to Ibara/Okelowo in Abeokuta you find a good number of igbo population,go to Lagos Isolo, Festac,Amuwo-odofin,Apapa,Okota you find good number of Igbos there.

Name one single community in the SE you can find a good number of other tribes except the nomadic Hausa Fulani.
