D thing is no matter how much we campaign and try to reduce this inter-tribal wars, the orientation of many won't change. Lots of people keep holding on to past grudges. Very sad. I still believe in one Nigeria! 2 Likes |

My advice to all the young people here is that they should always give their best. Never be discouraged,never be petty;always remember;others may hate you,but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them,and then you destroy yourself in doing that. Instead of wasting our energy hating why don't we engage in something productive together and see what we can achieve as a people? Mandela once said that you should forgive not for the offender but for your own good that it is only thgen that you get your freedom. The hater is the one in prison even if he thinks he has imprisoned his enemy. 3 Likes |

Blockus: OP, I am yoruba, and I live in SE Nigeria, I think you should read wider with an open and unbiased mind on the Aburi Accord (before, during, and after). It's pitiable that Africa doesn't have accurate documentation of its people, their origin, past events etc. Everything seems biased, fact that a yorubaman proposed the cut in medication and food supplies doesn't mean he sampled the opinion of all yorubas, please don't be quick to forget who spearheaded the 1966 coup, I don't take it to be an Igbo thing. I feel the seed of hatred sown by the greedy and insecure men of that time is a full grown tree now, so many of our "past national heroes" were nothing but villains and should never be celebrated. Just my opinion 17 Likes |

Blockus: OP,Bro lets go down d memory lane. After independence, d igbo guy bcame d head of government, d Yoruba guy was sidelined nd just because he was an opposition, he was charged wth treason nd sentenced 10 years, the igbo guys started d coup, abducting nd killing northern leaders wth some yoruba leaders as well. The hausa guys retaliated wth a counter coup which was partially successful, an igbo guy suggested a Yoruba guy 2 b in power, bt d yoruba guy lookn @ d odds, made a logical and rational decision 2 walk away. During d war, Awolowo discovered dat d food items meant 4 d masses were been hijacked by d biafran soldiers, so he made a logical nd rational decision and dis ended d way, and u guys always call dis betrayal. Sincerely i fink it was d best decision d man cud mk @ dat time, cos u guyz started d whole coup fing. 11 Likes |

In as much as you all claim there is no discord between the Yoruba and Ibo race, the term "Omo Ibo" and "Ajaokuta ma mu omi"is the most derogatory piece if shot ive ever heard. It is surprising to note that there is no Omo Hausa , Omo Calabar, Omo Edo. The yorubas are very learned , that i accepted but they are soo cowardly, that is why their young men cant leave their home towns in such of greener pastures. Incase you have not noticed the average ibo man in the west understand yoruba. He makes an effort to understand it, how many Yoruba men have you seen that can speak ibo. The numbers speak for themselves. Nevertheless, in 2014 some of us are still liberal, which explains why i have sisters married to Yoruba men. 3 Likes |
Re: The Tom And Jerry Relationship Between The Igbos And Yorubas. by Engen(m): 10:01am On Jul 14, 2014 |
ultrazone: One thing I'm clear about the igbos is that a lot of them do not understand the yorubas. Many of them have preconceived notions that yorubas are untrustworthy. Unfortunately, yorubas care less. We do not have special hatred or make judgment about any tribe. We make decisions based on situation per time. That's why other tribes think we are unreliable. It's a principle of no permanent friend or enemy. By naijablogger No clashes because From the oyo empire in the 15th century to the glory days of Ibadan in the mid 17th century,from the the kirigi wars to the expansionist Fulani attempts at conquest,we have seen it all and too much blood have been shed in defending every inch of odualands. We Yorubas do not see the ibos or anybody as competitors.we set our sight higher and at our own pace. Every man ,woman and child in yorubaland knows what our society used to be like before the British ,before independence and under the western region. We also know of the present . There are major philosophical and ideological differences between Yorubas and ibos which only the likes of modern ,forward looking and cosmopolitan people like utomi and Fashola can bridge.on the other hand,which people like bode George ,obanikoro ,chukwumerije and peter obi are willing to exploit as was done in the anambra election . But the reason why there are no clashes is the reason why we oyo,Benin ,Ibadan had empires and the ibos did not. We do not see the Igbos as a rival.the clear and present danger is the Federal government regardless of whom the occupier is.Whomever supports that corrupt FG as presently constituted will always be viewed with suspicion . Another is the ever present danger of the feudalists in the north and the acolytes in the south. Unfortunately,the power drunk man at the rock is already dancing to their beat and if not careful, could eventually be caught off guard and hand power to the wrong set of people from that part. Lastly,many of the uches ,chinedus and emekas of today will be totally assimilated into the Yoruba nation in a few generations.their great grandchildren will by then,be bearing full yoruba names and would have lost every single link to alaibo. These citizens would form a part of the shock troops for the future rise of oyo. Sorry if you are offended but that is the way empire builders reason and work. 8 Likes |

[quote author=Blockus]OP, I find this thread offensive to ndi Igbos. We dont have any relationship whatsoever with the Yorubas. They have proven to be untrust worthy since the beginning of time. They are two faced, back-stabbing and maliciously wicked and have demonstrated it time and time again. Lets not forget that the genocidal aspect of the civil war where food and medical supply were cut off from the East was not suggested by the Northerners but by a Yoruba man. Lets not even forget that there would not have been a war per se if the Yorubas had stuck to their end of the bargain from the Aburi accord held in Ghana. The Yorubas are not trust worthy at all and thats the root of our problems in Nigeria. Atleast the Hausas have shown us where they stand from the very beginning.nna ur mind is made up,I wish u luck wiv dat |
