Okorocha: 'Igbos Will Lose More If Nigeria Breaks Up' / South-east, South-west, will be biggest losers if Nigeria breaks up / Biggest Losers In Nigeria Politics Since 1999 (2) (3) (4)

Yoruba people have more to lose if Nigeria breaks up. Igbo people are entrepreneurs in nature, they move from one place to another, they have high energy and many of them are hustlers. Yorubas on the other hand look for safe heavens, many of them prefer office jobs, no wonder there is high rate of unemployment among them. They dont farm nor do anything. Hausas are like the igbos...almost all hausas are enterprising, even a gate man has a small kiosk selling sweets, they produce bulk of the food in Nigeria. |

thebosstrevor1:1. Paystack, Chicken Republic, Flutterwave, Nord, Main Street Technologies, Coleman Wires & Cables are all few of the numerous enterprises created by Yorubas. 2. If the above does not qualify as enterprises to you feel free to tell the world your own definition of enterprise. 3. When Yorubas are not creating the types of world class enterprises mentioned in (1), They are working as professionals or artisans in or for one of such enterprises. You see, the Yoruba workforce is dynamic and versatile. That is why smart investors will always chose Yorubaland ahead of other regions because they can count on geting the required human capital to make their business succeed. Unlike certain ethnic groups that are like 80% traders or 80% menial workers. 1 Like |

AdekunleScience: Am Igbo, but bro you are correct. The yorubas are versatile and dynamic. just look at the US composition of Africans who hold political appointment from Biden government. I respect the omoluabis for their innovative inclinations, my only dissapointment is to why they have continued to be part of Nigeria that has Failed the way it did howbeit their massive contributions to world's intellectual pull. |

LoveUdie:OP You tried by your attempt to convince people especially the Great Igbo people that a one `nigeria will be the best for them. let me start from south sudan that most people qoute easily. You cannt compare south sudan with the igbos. South sudan is a country without a single football club bu the south easst has formidable football clubs of international reputes. I decided to use football as a mianute item just to let you know that south sudan as a failed state should nt be compared with the south east. If south sudan would be a failed state UN, USA and others wouldn have granted her an independent status. Which nation in Africa is not a failed state if i may ask? At least the killings and kidnapping we are experiancing in Nigeria now are not happenning in South Sudan. We Nigerians are funny people. We have a funny habits of speaking for others as if we know people and what they want better than themselves. If you go to South Sudan the people there will stone you if you attempt to say to them what you v written about them. Why dont you people qoute Eriteria and other new nations, why always South Sudan? Igbos because of there spread and presence in every nook and crannies deserve a formidable state that will protect them. mark it, the day that nation is created you will be shock at the rate of investment they will bring home. The Indians, Chinise, Lebanese and Jews are like the Igbos and you cannt mess up with them because of their nature. So your arguement does nt hold water. |

thebosstrevor1:Honestly Yorubas will be the loser in any break. If you observe you will see that the Huasa man can be use to expand or create development. Once they come to a place, that area gets developed through buying and sellling as well as other activities. Same goes with the Igbo man but you cannot say that about the Yorubas. The Yorubas are the most beneficiaryies of governmt largesse. These people enjoy govt wealth and resources more than any ethnic group in Nigeria and they bring nothing to the table. With these i dont understand why the Yorubas will be fighting the fulanis who v always made them. All that the Yorubas get from the govt is through ethnic , religious or propaganda patronage. But the Igbo man goes with his skills and competent that he will deliver in what ever assignment he is entrusted with. Nost of the political aides at the Villa and ministerials are Yorubas. |

AdekunleScience: You mention 6 companies that employs only a selected few...the funniest thing is they can't employ all the yorubas because they will go broke just on paying salaries alone. Igbo and Hausa on the other hand are independent, they create more jobs for themselves, many are not professionals but they control about 90% of the informal market. The only prosperous Yoruba land is Lagos and that is because it is near the Atlantic ocean that attracts people from all over the country for trading. Most yoruba people want to wear coat and sit in an office earning 50k per month while the igbo and hausa hustlers are providing everything you need, go to any town in Nigeria, you must see a suya or an indomie joint owned by an hausa man, a spare part shop or clothing shop owned by the igbos, i cant say that for the yorubas, they dont have any footprint anywhere in Nigeria. See an igbo man or woman will pack to an area and use his or her house to sell provisions and make good cash while a yoruba person will be complaining about unemployment, the hausa man is not left behind, he will come to lagos, with food stuffs to sell to everyone. yoruba women used to be the leaders in selling tomatoes and pepper in the market, now the hausa man have taken over, they dont even stay in the market but make lot of cash selling fresh tomatoes and fruits, now yoruba women are know for spoilt tomatoes. Buying and selling is the bedrock of an economy, but sorry my friend, yoruba people are not participating at all in that area. nowonder, there is high unemployment rate among them. |

thebosstrevor1:1. Show the world statistics from reputable sources which support your claim that unemployment/ poverty is higher in Yorubaland compared to other regions in Nigeria. In the absence of such then the Yoruba way remains the right way. 2. @ the bolded you are absolutely wrong, services and manufacturing are the bedrock of an economy, think the U.S.A or U.K for the former and China for the latter. 3. The service based economy of Yorubaland for example creates wealth for some, disposable income for others. The wealth and disposable income of Yorubas is what attracts people from poor regions like yours to come and do petty trading in our space. 4. I am not surprised that substantial number of Yorubas don't do petty trading to utilise the opportunities which the wealth of their brethren begat because I know that from time immemorial, Yoruba men in particular have always preferred skilled occupation to sitting in a market. 4. It will be amusing to see how your sovereign nation can survive with petty trading after Nigeria splits. 5. On our part I can assure you that when we achieve our own sovereign nation we would rather have a few Walmarts instead of proliferation of unskilled petty traders. |
