This is true. Yoruba's have protocols for nearly everything. As a Yoruba boy, I have learnt a lot from the business acumen, drive and determination to succeed of the Igbo. I guess its a case of mutual respect then. 6 Likes |

He further said "Rather than confront the yorubas,others should learn from their sophistry"To a layman it sounded like a complement. To educated people it was an indirect insightfully placed insult. One asks if u were going insult Yorubas why give them the feeling of friendship? Ojo madeueke is a fool for an igbo man. Igbos don't play in the guise of an insult. That is not igboness. 4 Likes 1 Share |

One beautiful thing I have noticed in Nigeria after careful observation is that the Hausas prefer to tackle the Igbos. The Igbos rather than face them back,prefer to challenge the Yorubas. Ofcourse the reason for this is not far fetched. There is no pride in challenging someone lower in status than you...I mean no harm,just saying the obvious 18 Likes 1 Share |

Your velly stvpid, when Awlowo was forced to commit suicide by the North didnt Yorubas turn around and blame the igbos for dealing in poisnous substance. When IBB nulify election in 93 didnt Yorubas turn and started blaming Igbos for Arthur Nzeribe? When Sanusi Lamido said Yorubas are the problems of Nigeria, didnt Yorubas in NL started accusing Igbos for creating a thread that will divide Nigeria. Abiola and Kudirat were Killed by North yet Yorubas are blamming Igbos for all their stvpidty heavenmade: One beautiful thing I have noticed in Nigeria after careful observation is that the Hausas prefer to tackle the Igbos.

This's absolutely correct!. I read a book on pre-colonial Africa that suggested what this report said but I wasn't sure so I decided to conduct my own research few months ago to prove or disprove it. Note that the research is part of a wider project that I'm currently working on how to lay the foundation for teaching sciences in African schools in our native dialects and I'v been conducting several research works online and offline. I made some of the reseach right here on Nairaland. The research is found on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1820035/simple-test-africans-only In the above reseach I simply asked Nairalanders to name "parts of the body" in their native language. Believe me, only a Yoruba man was able to do that!. Unfortunately, some of us that throws up intellectual topics or debates don't get heard on this forum but loud mouths and people who have no real value to offer always manage to have their topics on the front page. If Africa was to be destroyed culturally, the Yorubas, Hausas, some tribes in Gabon or near that southern basin, a part of Ghana, some tribes in Benin republic near Quiddah and some part of east Africa that speak Swahili may be the only real Africans left. Yes, the Yorubas are one of the most culturally advanced tribes not only in Nigeria but in Africa!. This's based on facts from my own reseach not sentiments. If you doubt it then solve that simple test above. I'm an Igbo man for your information. 8 Likes 1 Share |
