i think some people need to stop fixating on which tribe is what, or whoever, and find other things to do.

the world doesnt revolve around igbo and yoruba.

there is flooding- go and help your brothers and sisters who are in dire straits.

my osiso mama....

PointB: @Op,

Oil and water to mix. We culturally different from the Yorubas, besides the Yorubas are too clannish, and have shown several times that they cannot be trusted. Without trust, there can't be unity. Even the Hausa trust the Yoruba's man as same way, a man will trust a green snake in a green grass. The fact that we share the same country and space with them is the unfortunate consequence of the civil war loss.

Okija_juju: If Ndi Igbo can grow pastthe following;

- Biafra

- Awolowos alleged Betrayla/genocide


Then Yes.. We and the Yorubas can be friends and get along..

However, its engraved in the psyche of ndi Igbos not to trust a Yoruba person.. I wonder if its all about Awolowo or if there is more. And itt seems the Yorubas have sensed this and are reciprocating..

I wonder if Yorubas are also raised to dislike/distrust Igbos?!

you folks have nothing else doing that can occupy your time?

afam4eva:
You may or may not be right. But since we're southern neighbors and as long as Nigeria exists we'll need each other.

tpia@:
@ afamthe goat

i dont think you're normal.


you have serious issues, for real.

why not fixate on america and the american national anthem since na there your joblessness dey?

PointB:


We need each other does not mean we can trust each other. Yorubas cannot be trusted, so we need not place any faith in them, even if we need them.

misterh: @op, i think you can see the mindset of an average Igbo man.

PointB:


Well, Buhari, and Ribadu will feel the same way about Yoruba. So quit that average Igbo man's drivel. No groups trust Yoruba's in Nigeria. That's a fact. But hey, it doesn't mean we can't get along.

tpia@:


which part of who cares about your opinion and who is trying to "get along" with you, are you not getting here?

identify the yorubas who want to work with you, and get along with them while desisting from disturbing the peace of others who dont engage in all this rigmarole.

jeez.

ifyalways: @Afam, are you talking about offline or online unity ?

Our igbo and Yoruba senators, governors, ministers are very much united in looting our collective funds, mind you. Seems this division and fight mode is only existing "online", IMO.

afam4eva:
It's not about trusting each other or placing our fate on each other. It's just about cooperating with other southern groups to break away from the Northern Oligarchy.

achi4u: I think he meant offline unity which cannot be possible because to every Igbo/Yoruba person something is embeded in our memory which is hatred,enviousness,jelousy et c tra.
Igbo and Yoruba were like 'two brothers',"one is moving ahead the other want to remain stagnant and at the same time want to draw his brother back"(no bashing pls)

So,to answer ur quest,there will be no mutual unity btw the two brothers,this two brothers have married with kids and responsibilities...what they need is SEPREATION.

kunlekunle: its not possible for lots of plebs on nairaland, but let Tinubu and okorocha sit and talk dollars and oil and toast champagne, afterwards they'll say they can all go join Abacha.

Desola:

Hatred is not embedded in the Yoruba man against the ibos. Infact, we didn't really pay attention to your existence until you lot started attacking and gloating. A case study is this site itself. Yorubas always turned deaf ears to your bravado and lies until you constantly brought Awolowo into the frame. You nagged and nagged us and we are now paying you due attention. The average Yoruba man has no time for all the rubbish you lot spew out but there is only so much a sane person can take and that is the reaction you all are now getting from us.
