Once in a while, when am free - I visit yorubaparapo.com, and The Nigerian Village Square. But not as regularly, as I would like.... But I am not a blogger, o! I haven't got the patience or inclination for such stuff, yet! And yes, my Itele shoes made me look like a star. The bridesmaid kept eyeing my feet. If not for the fact, that her boo was there, only God knows what she would have done!

Kn23h, Laudate, deomello (ndigbo enemy#4), and all the many that added voice, you have advanced Yoruba with this thread.

E f'ede pa ohun, e gbe Yoruba laruge!

Yoruba is the pioneer, the champion of commerce and finance, the owner of the market, the giant of regional economy in the length and breadth of ECOWAS, the custodians of diversity and urban growth, the beacon of social progress and the refuge abode to those who are troubled and looking for a safehaven of comfort and survival.

Edumare has blessed this land, may He continue to add to our blessings and give us the fortitude to bear the pains and atrocities of those who wish evil on us but reward our restraints in plentiful bounties of grace and honor amongst the nations of mankind.

Ase Edumare!

Oke Oke l'Eye n'fo....Oke ni Yoruba o ma Fo!

For over eight decades, Adeola Odutola remained a luminous presence in business, trade, politics and education. Together with Dantata and Sir Louis Ojukwu, father of the former Biafran rebel leader, Odutola belonged to the first generation of Nigerian industrialists. His business empire was vast, and he lived long enough to have been part of all the significant moments in Nigerian history in the 20th century. He was a pathfinder, a product of his time – and a marvelous product at that. He had what could be called old money.

Old money is different from that kind of wealth that is acquired overnight through fraud or crime, as is the fashion these days among the nouveaux riche; it is that kind of wealth that is acquired from hard work, self-determination and commitment. When it is supported by a sense of social responsibility and the fear of God, old money invariably acquires a value that is greater than the mere possession of wealth.

The latter day generation of Nigerian capitalists speaks of capitalism as if it is an end in itself, and hence they rob capitalism of its human face. Odutola’s distinction lay in the manner in which he constantly bridged the gap between trade and society, between capitalism and philanthropy. He sought a community of kingship that went beyond business and the making of money, as it were. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2017/04/mr-industry-chief-adeola-odutola/

Chief Jimoh Odutola (1905-2010) his younger brother, was also a successful businessman. While Adeola was literate and a Christian, Jimoh, though not literate, was a self-trained man and till his death, spoke impeccable English and wrote like a Professor. He was a Muslim. Their father was a Muslim, whilst their mother-Sabainah, was a Christian. He thereafter entered Cocoa and Palm trading business and started exporting the produce and products to the United Kingdom. He also ventured into Sawmill and Gold mining at Ilesha and he was a major agent for John Holt in Nigeria.http://authenticgist..com.ng/2015/10/aaas-our-early-entrepreneurs.html

My friends in the house, I am overwhelmed by your good wishes, e-hugs and wonderful goodwill. Thank you all so very much. I was away for a while, but am back now in full gear. After that ban, I needed to recharge my batteries!

I was at Ibadan & Ilesa during the week to support my cousin, as he took his bride to the altar! Ah, I don't think there is any other tribe that knows how to throw good parties, like the Yoruba people! Kilode?! I dance like say, make di music no go end. And my Itele shoes were da bomb! Ijesa girls fine, o! I kept praying that God should deliver me from temptation!

After primary education, I went to the Ibadan Boys High School, where we were 30 pupils in a classroom, and the entrance examination very competitive. I remember an incident. I went to my father and told him some parents brought their children in their cars to write the entrance examination and that the parents went to speak with the principal after the examination.

I told him maybe the principal would favour the children of the rich parents. My father replied that there was always room for excellence and that if I did well in the examination, I would definitely be admitted into the school. And my watchword from that time has been “There is always room for excellence.” https://whatsupibadan./2014/09/25/how-obj-mko-adedibu-shaped-my-family-ladoja/

Their products are not imported from somewhere else. They MANUFACTURE their own drugs and locally. If I may add, no one has died from complications resulting from taking their drugs.

Odunayo Eweniyi’s story is one that is probably familiar to most young graduates. Leave school excited for the real world. Apply for several roles and go out on interviews. Wait to hear back from the interviewers. Keep waiting. Keep waiting. Keep waiting. Give up hope and become a permanent indentation on your mother’s couch. Instead of just wasting away until a job found her, she went out and created her own job by forming PushCV.

The Chapter Lead for the Nigerian chapter of Women in Tech Africa, wanted to create a platform where qualified candidates could get connected directly to job opportunities and cut through the delays. Odunayo shares with us where she thinks most young Nigerians struggle with getting a job, how she’s differentiating her company and what she believes is the most important element of a CV.

Why did you start PushCV?

We started PushCV right out of university. When I graduated I went on a couple of interviews and I never even heard back, despite being told that I passed the interviews. It went on like that for a bit, plenty of CV submissions and no call backs. So PushCV was borne of a personal need. I wanted to be more involved in how employment is done.

We started PushCV because we thought that employment and recruitment could be done better. Every other service was going digital, so why couldn’t recruitment move with the times? Hence we launched PushCV for people – both employers and job seekers – to fully harness the power of technology in the search for the perfect candidate or the perfect job.

Kamoru and Bolanle yusuf

this Alhaji Kamoru Yusuf and his wife Bolanle, the brains behind Nigeria’s first independently owned cold roll steel complex, which they are building in Illorin, the capital of Kwara State. “The scrap material I use in making roof nail caps goes for around N50 [30 cents] per tonne in China. In Nigeria, they cost me N25,000 [$160]. I couldn’t compete successfully. I had to set up a factory in China to acquire scrap cheaply,” a smiling and now successful Alhaji Kamoru Yusuf says, reclining in his black leather office chair. His massive office overlooks the new white and blue steel plant in the large factory compound with warehouses holding rows and rows of nail-making machines. In many ways, the steel plant is his way of providing a local solution to his supply chain problems.

Bekwarra:
You Yoruba guys are some of the most wicked souls the world has ever seen. I went over the Igbo thread and by the time I got to the 3rd page, I was practically crying my heart out just because of two reasons

1. Despite the extraterrestrial and otherworldly efforts you guys are putting here, you still spared time and effort to decimate them and crush them to smithereens on their thread

2. You so much dealt with them that their commander in chief, general and leading tactician resorted to posting pictures of table water, loaves of bread and orange juice when I'm very sure the production capacity of University of Ibadan Ventures dwarfs that of those companies in that aspect.

My main grouse with our lousy, uncouth, loud-mouthed and saucy neighbours across the Niger who happen to be first cousins to some exotic breeds of chimps is their vain-glorying. They think everybody hates them but I can assure them nobody hates them. Everyone just seems to be tired of their empty chest beating and unbridled insolence. Although it's not a thing done by all of them, but it's done by most of them especially those among them who grew up in the East. The way they go about shouting Yoruba are against Biafra is nauseating. I look around our region here and I see people who don't give a rat ass about Biafra. The only Yoruba I see that seem to be a bit concerned about Biafra are those on the internet and I'm very sure 90% of them are there to taunt them and not that they really care whether they get Biafra or not.

I've seen this insecure whimps suffering from an acute inferiority complex attack Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba, Edo, Uhrobo, Ikwerre, Tiv, Ijaw, Ibibio, Efik and a host of others here. They've made enemies of everybody. They have a siege mentality in which they think the whole world is against them. You all can continue wallowing in delusional grandeur but what I can assure you is this, an average Yoruba man on the street, an average Yoruba woman in the market is less concerned about whether you get Biafra or not. You are so inconsequential to their life and living thus you are dispensable. Don't use the conduct of a few Yoruba folks here to judge because I see you lot going about ranting like gorillas on heat with your obsession with Yorubas and how hey are holding you back. The folks you see here are doing all these to torment you psychologically, mentally and emotionally knowing how you are wired and the cry babies you can be. You are emotionally weak and gullible thus they use your weakness to torment you.

Yorubas like every other tribe have their own challenges which we acknowledge and will always work on, we are not perfect and will never pretend to be, like you lots do. But one thing is clear, as imperfect as we are, we are not your equals in any field of human development. No matter the indices, we are not on the same pedestal.
We are better by FAR
