Are South Southerners Igbo?

Yes or no.

Youngzedd:

Define Lagos?

ayswags: Ibos are economic nomads,like what the Bleep are they looking for in botswana,a country even godforsaken nigeria is better than a million times

oliseh.com:
The problem of Nigeria is lack of unity,instead of pointing accusing fingers at other countries,why dont we sit and solve this problem of unity.
A country where there is tribalism what do you expect from other country.

ShymX:

I agree with some points raised in your assertion. I don't think the Igbo's are like the Germans, the Germans and Brits are basically the same people and they both have the same temperament. I think the Germans you alluded to here are the Nazis (no pun intended).

Personally, I think the Igbo's are more like the American right-wingers with their temperament.

Also, Yoruba's are a community based people and wherever you find Yoruba's in large numbers, they naturally come together - without the need for an organisation. It's evident out here in the UK. The same goes for the Edo's/Urhobo's (I fvcks with Edo's/Urhobo's uncles and I'll be out there jamming with them again tonight, for our weekly Friday madness!) . You definitely have to admire the Yoruba consciousness and how the people are naturally close.

BluIvy:

You see this exactly the problem that gets Nigerians hunted down and kicked out. Its your narrow minded view of the world outside Nigeria. What does the bolded mean? You know your ignorance is a million times worse than Americans and their added advantage is that they dont troll around the globe in search of greener pastures with their ignorance and myopic view of the world, that is deadly to put it bluntly.

Your government is doing you a huge dis-service by not ensuring that they include mannerism and rules of engagement and survival when you go out in the world to hunt. And now what they do is to always puff and groan to force countries to give in to their demands so they they do not have to deliver to their countries needs.

Just a coution you can ask even SA that are big investors and our relations in our country, our neighbours Botswana does not scare easily. You can puff all the way home if you do not learn to be law abiding guests.

By the way there are great Nigerians, highly adored and respected, I think they are Yoruba who are proffessinals in our country that have been doing business and growing in Botswana. Batswana are a different breed do not think of playing them.

Botswana has the highest standard of living in Africa and is rated as the most stable government.
This is a result of neglected education for the generation of nigerians that are now old enough to travel. Nigerians have an extremely dim understanding of the rest of the world and themselves and will find themselves crawling the globe to humiliate their own lives. I don't believe it's primarily igbos by far that are leading this global foolishness, but before we start saying it's and igbo problem we have to realize it's really a national one.

Igbos are ambitious, nobody will take that from them but it's almost impossible to convince them what they own is better than what they can possiby own or have and that's what leads to their desperate nature.

Yorubas are fearful, nobody will take that from them either. A yoruba person is not going to risk what he has, even if it's very little, no matter the reward and don't typically think outside of what's theres. Many yorubas don't know there was a civil war in Nigeria.

The reason I point this difference out is because the igbo ignorance is manifesting in travelling the world blindly and becoming a nuisance and the yoruba ignorance is manifesting in not being able to think or look outside of the very narrow box they already have, hence poverty and a total ignorance of anything outside of their family and region. They typically don't want more because they don't know there's is more out there and would rather brag about whats been done that complain about the need to do more. the root of the problem is ignorance. While igbos are developing and even destroying other places, their homeland is neglected, and while yorubas are boxed in by fear their homeland remains stagnant. This is why the two regions of africa that should be the most developed, aren't.

ignorance mixed with our respective cultural nature isn't doing anything for us.

Gbawe:

Dude, you are a loser. Pure and simple. So Igbos are "ambitious supermen" while Yorubas are "unambitious and fearful" individuals with no ability? You are just another indoctrinated cretin and loser who can only relate to life thinking he is some 'superman' , with all the good qualities man can be endowed with, while others are 'mumus' he can ascribe all manners of inferior/bad qualities to. The sad thing is that reality never bears out the lies you devilishly dishonest people tell to put down the Yorubas and exalt yourself.

What is happening in Ghana right now is virtually what we have in Lagos and elsewhere. See the article below and explain to the forum why a "fearful" people with "no ambition" go all the way to Ghana to be good role models beneficial to society and captains of organised business. You should give a good explanation for what we read below or stand discredited forever.

Yet, I can predict you and your idiotic co-travellers, always into mindless character assassination against the Yorubas, will have nothing logical, scientific or fact-based to contribute because you have been indoctrinated to the extent your own mindset revolves around the concept you own everything merely because of how you are more committed to market/sole trading than others. You better raise your own children differently to respect others because I find it disgusting how people like you swallow lies about others and then live your lives telling those lies to yourself and others. You will always make enemies of everyone, even very liberal and open-minded folks who defend the rights of everyone, doing such and box yourself into an isolated corner of revilement.

It is as if you cannot take in oxygen if you do not put down others with lies while ascribing ludicrously flattering supremacist qualities to yourselves no one can establish with cold facts and in relation to on-ground reality. I know Ghana as well as any Nigerian can. What is written below is virtually the same in other sectors whether property development or franchised restaurant chains. The Yorubas, far from being "fearful" as you claim, are always present in organised, big, formal business because they are good managers of men and materials with a tolerant and inclusive 'live and let live' fairness.

You are simply another empty braggart with a petty-trader mentality. If you do not see Yorubas in Makola and Kaneshie Market tussling with Ghanaians for stalls, it does not mean Yorubas are "fearful" or that you are fearless supermen "owners of Ghana" because of petty trading alone. It simply means we have different focus and business interest. Fools like you should learn to note the difference so you can better your lives instead of going around lying you are better than others when the world sees you have so many deficiencies and are not special at all plus no different to an empty braggart loser overcompensating for failure.

While you do your 'homework' call our Ghanaians brethren in to ask them which is more beneficial to them between , for example, tax-paying Chicken republic with the average branch employing up to 30 Ghanaians working shift and a Makola Nigerian sole-trader who operates at an end where Ghanaians are squeezed out with the Government also not benefiting in the way of taxes, increased employment for Ghanaians etc. Go and learn why Ghana wants incoming businesses to employ a minimum number of Ghanaians to note what is appreciated in organised society instead of talking like a bushman who thinks petty/market/sole trading is everything everyone and every corner of the world must be judged by.

FILEBE:
shut up jor! Which Nigerians were being deported in Nigeria? U just go about saying Nonsense. I'm highly annoyed by what u said! Who deported whom in Nigeria? Or when did Lagos close its border from the Igbos? I'm taking it that u meant the recent Fashola's family re-union. People like you gives foreigner a wrong impression of Nigeria. If BBC or CNN had said what you wrote, i trust u to start protesting.
Guy. U just got me angry this morning jor.

ayswags: botswana buffon tell me how botswana is better than nigeria.instead of trying to play on the yoruba intelligence here by praising the yorubas and castigating the ibos.

Doff_Man:

In fact, I'll go as far as to say that the bad reputation of Nigerians in UK is due to the activities of desperate and reckless yorubas.

Erg2000: if not because you are a fool, you could have remembered the Yoruba idiot who went and started shooting people at the street of london and another idiot from your tribe who inpragnated his six daughters in the USA. Your tribal sentiments make you useless Yorubas not to realize that a national problem is a national problem. If time permits, i'll go ahead and tell you more destitute from yoruba origin who have committed various crimes from anywhere around them world. Useless tribe!

THE AMAKA: But you seriously can't compare Nigeria and Botswana. The smallest state in Nigeria has more people than Botswana. With Botswana's 2 million people, you factor in the children, nomads, and villagers, and after that, how many people are you left with? That's why its peaceful, there's nobody there! Any country with less than 5 million people should have no excuse not to have their house in order.
That's why I can't understand what Nigerians are doing there in terms of "business." What market is in Botswana unless they are looking to get into the mining business.

Doff_Man:

Rubbish! Prisons in UK are filled the brim with Yoruba. In fact, I can't recount how many times I've read articles in papers about Nigerians with yoruba names being caught for one crime or another.
