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.

There are over 1.3 million yorubas in the uk but
Only about 800 nigerian (all tribes) in prison mostly due to immigration related offences
Those figures are well within the limits of decency.

There between 30,000-50,000 nigerians in SA
Over 500 are in prison at anyone time
Mostly for violent crimes ,drug offences and human trafficking

Only animals think like ibos. Normal human beings should think constructively and do things that can be passed on to coming generations.

THATS TOO MUCH, IF YOU CALL IBOS ANIMALS WAT WOULD YU CALL ALL THE AGBEROS COLLECTING SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T WORK FOR. YU ARE TRIBALISTIC BUT DONT FORGET THE WORLD WONT CALL YU YORUBA, IGBO OR HAUSA ITS NIGERIAN SO DONT FORGET YOU ARE INSULTING YOUR PEOPLE ASWELL.

what an insult

thelonestranger:

I thought your post was about IGNORANCE. You have displayed a huge amount of it here. Yoruba stagnant ? fearful? Either you are blind or completely in-sane. Yoruba are the most widely traveling people in Nigeria ; their merit is that they will never see any other place as "home". Unlike Igbos Yorubas believe in "North , East, South or West;home is the best". You will find a Yoruba person living abroad for decades still maintain everyday that "I will not die in somebody else's land". That is how much we cherish our homelands as our heritage and will fight tooth and nail to protect it from being taken away from us.

Nonsense please. Evidence as shown that an Igbo man always remember homes and eventually goes home.Even if they are to go back once a year which is during the festive period. If you have notice something about the Igbos, they can afford to live in rent in peoples home outside their home but bear in mind that they have 1 (mighty) house back home where they can eventually retire to once they feel they are aging.

lawkenoz: as much as I would had loved to applaud ur sensibility I will refrian from doing so! U tried not to sound tribalistic but u did a poor job in covering ur hate for d igbos, so igbos don't go to school or get educated? Or they don't engage in mentally challenging activities? Well taken u got angry by the bigots who engage in tribal bashing. Both the igbos and yorubas on this forun are guilty in matter! They choose to sit at home nd bash themselves carrying such hate in their hearts (I wonder why such poison doesn't kill them). My advice is don't let it infect u, ur post just sounded like u praising ur tribe above all else, u mentioned not even one thing good about the igbos but u pitched ur tribe at d pinnacle of all others! Mind u all tribes have there strenghts nd flaws, both the igbo nd even ur tribe. Even if they keep ranting that the yorubas are fearful u knw its not true why degrade ur self nd stoop so low to almost their level! There's a saying that goes "beleiving in a lie doesn't make the truth any less valid". Pls leave tribalism nd all these etnic hatred for kidz, from ur post ur bigger than such!

Look, at times like this, people like you should learn to look at what some of your kinsmen do wrong before you lead with the nonsense that "they hate us" when you are confronted with cold facts and the reality on the ground. What did I respond to here if not the needless denigration of my ethnic group with savage and ungracious lies not borne out by the reality on the ground?

If you have any decency in you, where will you begin your kumbaya "lets love each other" message if not tender an apology on behalf of some of your kinsmen who continue to obsessively and falsely malign the Yorubas to be what fact and reality show they are not? Dude, be fair and a part of the solution or get lost!!!! By the way, I am beyond caring if you and others think I hate Igbos or not because it is now clear Yorubas, even those very fair amongst them who have consistently defended all Nigerians, will always be viewed a certain ways by people like you who have been indoctrinated to a level where you are psychologically damaged to the extent you cannot differentiate between right and wrong. Especially when issues are crystal clear.

ayswags: Ibos should take a good look at themselves in the mirror,and ask themselves why everybody is against them.

everybody will against them becos of jealous.just allow one Ibo guy to toast your sis ,she will confess that he is the best guy ever.they r blessed with smartness and that Is what isreal n America has.and let me inform you that the day ibo man rule Nigeria is the day Nigeria will hv the best president in Nija mark my words.

Gbawe:

My dear lady, I am not interested in all the Yoruba and Igbo d1ck-comparison many are obsessed with here. Those who engage in such are pathetic losers who, if you get to know them, have nothing going for them personally.

Yet, I will not, as a Yoruba man proud of his ethnic group, stand by as delusional and pathological liars, totally indoctrinated to hate and belittle others while claiming to have ability it is glaring they do not possess, spam the net with their fraud and false character assassination which will become accepted as truth if we Yorubas do not counter such.

If a lunatic runs around saying the world is flat then he may not get much attention. When thousands and millions join him to be saying the same thing then it will not be long before some will indeed deem the world to be flat if scientists do not proactively debunk lies emanating from deluded minds.

Soon, and unless intelligent Yorubas are proactive, a hateful subset of the Igbo ethnic group, as they try to do here day in day out, will convince the ignorant world Yorubas are "lazy", "fearful", "not good at business", "Unambitious" plus all manners of negative stereotypes when such garbage is simply not and has never been factually borne out by the reality on the ground in any nation on earth where Yorubas are domiciled in.

In fact, the truth is that we Yorubas do very well at distinguishing ourselves as managers of men and materials at the highest level. It is just that we have no innate insecurity that drives us towards an attempt to validate ourselves through braggadocio and a need to put others down or belittle them. This is why you will not find many Yorubas beating their chest needlessly even when we have so much to be proud of.

How many Yorubas would know what is going on in Ghana if I did not provide that article? I am active in Ghana and can confirm to the forum that the Yorubas have made fantastic strides in virtually every facet of business life. Yet some malevolent Igbos who hate Yorubas will have you believe they "own and run" Ghana due to their market/petty/sole trader presence, just as they claim same about virtually everywhere else, because Yorubas are secure in themselves enough not to want to engage braggarts. Personally commendable attitude perhaps but it is one, against those committed to maligning us hatefully, that will result in some individuals getting away with stereotyping Yorubas to the extent absolute lies, debunked in second, are accepted as truth by a world full of ignorant people who are not inquisitive or able to inspect what they are told for factual/logical relevance.

Before you know it, even google is their tool of propaganda for spreading lies that cannot be proven in any nation of the world hosting a significant number of Yoruba people.

The Yorubas are a wonderful, tolerant, inclusive, industrious and talented people. Our real and exemplary endeavours worldwide should be revealed to counter lies from individuals obsessed with maligning us like the tribalistic, malevolently indoctrinated and hateful loser Ikengawo. This is why I showed the reality of Ghana, validating the silently efficient and gracious ambition and fearlessness of Yorubas, before idiots like Ikengawo start bragging tomorrow that they "own" Ghana and will "crash" the country tomorrow if they "pull out their investments" based on dominance of market/petty/sole trading sector that not a single Ghanaian will tell you they value ahead of the Nigerian big businesses that provides income, employment and the most tangible socio-economic growth for Ghana.

like I said I don't engage in such, sorry if I got u angry it wasn't intentional, I neva remember mentioning I was igbo to u, so ur assumption on calling a bigot my kinsmen is uncalled for! I simply talked to u because I deemed u sensible enough to understand d road ur about to embark on, don't let wat pple say get u emotional! Singing peace nd kimbaya on nairaland? Wat good has dat done? The moment u realise most folks here just enjoy this ethnicity u would knw its of no use! All of them here have friends form other tribes I imagine u also have a friend from the igbo tribe as well. Imagine u telling him all this face to face just because a lunatic from his tribe got u angry and thus ur extension of all these to him as well; I believe its not worth damaging your frienship! I love all tribes both the yoruba and igbos as well including my own tribe very much! You don't need to use insultive and angry tones at me to paSs ur point across we aren't quarelling!

I UNDERSTAND YUR FEELING BUT THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHY ?, ITS NOT BECUASE OF OUR GOVERNMENT ITS BECAUSE MAJORITY OF OUR PEOPLE ARE NOT READY TO HELP MAKE NIGERIA BETTER. AM AFRAID WE WILL REMAIN THIS WAY FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME. ONE MAN CANT STAND ON HIS OWN TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY, HE NEEDS HELP FROM HIS PEOPLE.

Nigeria was once that big brother with a large heart and so green with opportunities to the extent that only few leave the shores of Nigeria for economic gains. Ghanians and other african nations found paradise in her arms! Now, if going by the maxim that a nations, economic factors at a particular time plays a significant role on how society will behave then all this tribal hate as examplified on this thread could be excused as evidence of current economic hardship on the masses. I look and all i see as the root cause is leadership problem.

The hatred i see on this forum everyday amazes me. You guys are so blinded by hate that you overlooked the important issues raised in this topic. For Christ's sakes, your fellow Nigerians are being arrested, beaten and maltreated by mere Botswana! Yet all you can do is to start insulting the Igbos. Please, when did Edo, Rivers and Delta states become Igbo states? The Botswanians dont care if you are Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba or Ijaw. They see you as a Nigerian. Please, lets all be civilized. This madness has to stop.
