[size=28pt]I'm from Anambra State, can I beg for the forgiveness on behalf of my people. I know that the differences that emerge between Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa was the incident that happened in 1966 revolution or coup which our leaders are not willing to talk about it. Please tell your follow Yoruba men and women that there are some Igbos that are sorry for what happened in 1966. Let us throw away the past and unity to become great nations that will lead Africa. We are all brothers and sisters. I'm very happy that you have mentioned the cause of the anger of many Yoruba men and women. Please forgive and forget and lets move on. The people that committed the atrocities are dead and let their deed die with them.[/size]

Evergreen123: I pity these yorubas that delude themselves over an imaginary intellectualism.

For the records, the global technocrats we have in Nigeria are Igbo men and women.
Sb in the front page talked about mathematics, u have still not produced global mathematicians like igbos did.
That u are not good in business doesn't mean u have intellect more than igbos, let's stop self consolations here.
Some ppl used the gej scholarship stuff to justify the so called intellect, we all know gej has been busy trying to win opponents to his side, many igbos didn't even know of the scholarship to start with.
The age long waec n neco stats plus national common entrance cut offs tell the story better.
The Igbo stock has got it all, any vocation u can think of be it in business n academics, they get representatives

NobleG1:

What an embecile! You should apologize for your stupidity.

Agrika:
im Igbo too, from Anambra too, but you embrass d shitta out of me....apology my fine arsee.

BadBoy25: who has the time to read through all these Long Gibberish ? seeing the Long write up already made me lose interest . you guys need to learn to summarize your post, no one has time to waste .
what is the relationship between Igbo and Yoruba? is it bad or Good ? make it straightforward instead of composing a Novel . Time is Money .

zendy: Reading through this thread,anyone would understand why Igbos and Yorubas are not meant to be together as a nation. We are different in our outlook on life and our history isn't a good one. As a proud Igbo man,I'm happy to identify with the cause of my people and everybody knows that the real enemy of the Igbos are the northerners. The fact that the Yorubas have decided to be allies of the north puts them in the same boat. Nigeria is today a contraption which the Yorubas and Northerners want use to control the state of affairs to the detriment of the rest of us. APC supporter of APC party (which we all know is just a vehicle for Buhari and his vice presidential candidate,Tinubu, to take power) is just one method they wish to use. We have all outgrown this " I am greater than you and you are greater than me" nonsense. What we should all be talking about is how we should all have our individual nations.We should competing as nations instead of competing as citizens of a British fabrication called Nigeria. The people of the South-east and South-South know that they have no future in Nigeria,they know that the reason why the civil war was fought was not because of the 'incredible love' the Yorubas and the northern friends have for the Okirika man or the Ijaw man or Efik man or the Igbo man.They fought to control the economic and political life of these people. We should on Nairaland talking about what the republics of Odudwa and Biafra and the Niger-delta are doing together as independent world nations and our achievements but here we are talking as 'Nigerians' ,a name given to us by some British mans girlfriend. One thing about the Yorubas that I and my fellow Igbos always ponder about is why these people have long sold off their God given right to self determination and the Oduduwa republic dream to be ass-lickers of the north? Why are these people not ready to remove the shackles of bondage called Nigeria just like the people of the South-east and South-south are trying to? Therein is why the Igbos and Yorubas are as different as day and night.

iwonbaoko: Funny but ignorant.

FIRST REPUBLIC
The very first government after independence was formed of a coalition because no one party got the majority.
It was a coalition between Zik and Ahmadu Bello (NPC + NCNC) Awo and his party AG were in OPPOSITION

SECOND REPUBLIC.
NPN did not have a majority in either the Senate or house of representives. Again Zik went into coalition with NPN positioning himself as a "BRIDE" (the cartoonists of the day responded with apt caricatures) and as a consequence an Ibo man (Ume Ezeoke) was the Speaker of the House of Representatives and another Ibo(Ekwueme) was Vice President. So from all the historical evidence it is clear that the Ibos are the ones who have "sold out" to the North and less willing or able to stand on principle or in opposition.
What is the case today. Is the SW with PDP Yorubas are not opportunistic or easily bought and more importantly we know exactly what we want which is true federalism while you clowns just wear striped red baby hats and make shrieking noises

The Yoruba have consistently in our politics refused to align with the North or to play second fiddle to anyone and that is why we have always been in opposition politically when the North have been in power while you lot grovel at their feet for scraps

PenSniper:

Its not cleverness but stupidity borne out of crass tribalism. That was how tribalism crept into Nigeria affairs which instigated the reprisal from the north that consumed their head tribalist, Ironsi. And that was the genesis of tribalism in Nigeria.

Agrika:

Paroman: I too like this guy .....no homo

lekkie073: na so ojukwu make mouth till ordinary hunters in ore hold am to a stalemate

Missy89:
lol indeed!
these are my funniest lines. I almost chocked on the garri and groundnuts i was enjoying

The sleepiness of Lagos during the Christmas-New Year period, when the Igbo usually travel home en masse, bears testimony to their contribution to making Lagos lively.

Conversely, the Yoruba and the French are subtle and supercilious, with good administrative skills, regaling in their years of history and culture.


Yoruba and the French would pronounce “san” as if it were “saw,” or “son,” but the Igbo and Germans would pronounce it /san/: exactly the
way it is spelt. Also, the “h” is usually silent or glossed over in French and Yoruba: Hospital or Kehinde.

The Igbo and the German are bullish and
technology-minded. They have fought and lost wars but staged successful comebacks in a short time

For example, the “g” is always pronounced /g/ in Igbo and German and
never as “j.” “Danke” and “obante” are pronounced as written.

Damyion: Don't forget... His manhood lives on.

Anacksunamun: You must be a dunce (no offence) if you think he's actually an Igbo guy. Can't you see through the scam of a poster?

rahazaqa: you don make sense for ur eyes now o? Lol!! Well,I checked ur profile,you are a JJC. Dont let me spoil ur day. U might commit suicide. D; D; So u sabi speak Yoruba wella,and u even knw our Proverb? Hmm, take care.

zendy: I want to clarify something's that certain ignorant Yorubas have used to justify the senseless assault on Igbos.

1) The January 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup. At the time,the majority of Officers were Igbos and thus why most of the officers were from that part of Nigeria. It should also be pointed out that 2 leading members of that plot were Yorubas (Ademoyega and Victor Banjo). One last thing about this coup which Yorubas might find interesting is that the plotters had no desire to take power for themselves ,they actually wanted to make Awolowo head of Government!

2) The so called invasion of Ore,which incidentally was led by a Yoruba man (Victor Banjo), was in response to the shelling of Garkem,a Biafran border town.The war had already been started by Nigerians and it was only natural for Biafra to invade Nigeria.

3)The final thing I want to say which I consider a major difference between my Igbo people and Yorubas is that Igbos have the unquechable thirst for freedom and to reach new horizons. This is a major reason why Igbos are the second largest population in every state after the indigenous population of that state. I grew up reading the rich cultural history of the Yorubas. I read that the Oyo empire once stretched from present day Benin to old Dahomey. How come that the present day Yoruba man has lost all sense of self determination in the name of 'one Nigeria'? The Niger delta militant leader,Isaac Boro declared the Republic of the Niger delta in 1966. Ojukwu declared Biafra in 1967. What have the Yorubas ever done to have their own nation?What the Yorubas are busy doing is fighting for regional autonomy,resource control and Yoruba presidency when all of these things would have been taken for granted if they ever have the backbone to fight for their own separate country. The worst thing is that whenever the people of the south east or South -South seek their independence,it is the Yorubas who will conspire with their northern allies to frustrate that venture. They will even come in Nairaland to post a litany of petty reasons why Biafra must not be. I think that says a lot that the present day Yorubas have thrown away their sovereignty for the sake of the British created 'petting zoo' called Nigeria. And they are doing this with a dangerous scorpion called Hausa/Fulanis. The relationship between Yorubas and Igbos? There isn't one,the Igbos shed slave mentality a long time ago and fought a war to prove it. We are waiting for the day the Yorubas will come to table as their own masters instead of as Nigerians(a by-word for slave of northerners) then we shall see what relationship there can be.

asadike: pls ask ur mum who ur real father is. Somtin is rong somewhere.

Igbos tried to top the Education sector and had to abandon that dream because Yorubas are the ones intelligent enough not only to lead that but lecture as numerous Professors in USA Universities and all over Europe Universities. Nigerian Ecommerce Crown belongs to Sola Akinlade of PayStack, Biggest Nigerian Forum owned by my Guy the great Yoruba son of Oshewa. Igbos started Arochukwu Cult, yet non of them could ever be as International as Ogboni. I don't know a single Yoruba man that belong to Arochukwu, but Igbos have no option than to bow to Yoruba superiority as many of them have joined Yoruba Ogboni Fraternity.
