barcanista: Yorubas are the most accomodating and most sophisticated

Ijaws are the most understanding, least covetous and least tribalistic

Hausa's are the most appreciative and most savvy politically(not education)

heavenmade: pls you aint done with Your analysis. How about the igbos?

obyrich: What's your race?

OkijaAmaka: 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

barcanista: Yorubas are the most accomodating and most sophisticated

Igbo are the most enterprising tribe and most committed to their respective community cause than any other tribe

obyrich: What's your race?

Kasynpaulsyn1:

I disagree Barcanista

Iboes are generally selfish and are very individualistic. I dont see any community spirit in ibos

Kasynpaulsyn1: How can anyone deny this FACT.

Yorubas are miles ahead of other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Without a doubt, we are the most sophisticated in AFRICA.

20pounds: I like their sophistry too. Awo used it, Tinubu is using it effectively today I love their brown roofs most. It shows a people so sophisticated.

This coming from Ojo Maduekwe; a man known for praising whoever's palmwine he is drinking, at the moment, to high heavens. I dey laff o!

ROSSIKE: If Ojo Maduekwe really used 'sophistry' to denote 'sophistication' he needs to return to school. Sophistry means raising an unsound or fallacious argument and has nothing whatsoever to do with the term 'sophistication'.

redsun: The fact is that the Yoruba's tend to follow tribal leaders enmass,blindly and unquestionably,even though the leaders like most nigerian leaders of time are of questionable character,I.e,tinubu. Igbo's don't really believe in the system on the ground,therefore have not really seem the need for a political force as all the political bigwigs are prolific thieves like the rest of Nigerian politicians.

Thee should be something more objective to entice an Igbo man to get his acts together politically,something fundamental and something that made someone like Emenike to burn his Nigerian passport in the view of the world denouncing his association with the catastrosphy called Nigeria.

WIZGUY69: The real son of alaibo.
stating the obvios!
they will attack the man now.
but that's the fact.
and again. SOUTH WEST IS THE MOST DEVELOPED REGION IN NIGERIA OF WEST AFRICA, AFRICA!

Gbawe2:

What a thoroughly dishonest and vile chap. Do you do reality at all? Can you tell us, without equivocation and without quivering lips, which ethnic group has now queued "enmass,blindly and unquestionably" behind the president of "questionable character" (GEJ) today even more than his own ethnic group? Worthless chap. This is all you people do. I.e ignore the reality attached to your own kinsmen, their very obvious flaws and their behaviour to be lying about Yorubas online, giving us unsavoury tags and falsely associating all manners of negatives with us you are even more guilty of by far. You are a totally shameless idiot for calling Tinubu a tribal leader. How many impressive non-Yorubas, willingly and with their own two feet, walked to Tinubu to gain political tutelage and career progression like Pat Utomi?

A Yoruba leader happens to be lauded universally as a savvy and impressive politician who plays the game well in the arena he operates in and it is only Igbos who cannot stand that and will embrace hating him passionately while tagging him a "tribal leader" and insulting his kinsmen. Is it not you guys disgracefully and exclusively wishing Tinubu death daily? How is Tinubu "Tribal"? Has he ever played the ethnic card like the shameless and openly prejudiced Peter Obi you all worship who asked Igbos publicly not to vote for or have anything to do with the "Yoruba Party" merely because an Igbo candidate chose to contest an election under the ACN? Shameless and nauseating hypocrite the lot of you. Same way I am not surprised it is only Igbos who will have a problem agreeing with the words of Ojo Madueke. People like you are too hateful. You are damaged goods probably not living a happy or productive life.

redsun:

You mean they play the game of thievery very with steady otimkpu followers like you that are culturally conditioned to sing praises to them like traditional praise singers in the obas palaces across Yoruba land?That kind of thing doesn't impress a conscious Igbo man very well,he will rather make his money enterprisingly,lord over himself,his immediate vicinity and wait for the right time to be a part of community when the veils over Nigerians faces have been lifted. A time that may never come in his life time,but as long as he lives,he refuses to kiss the asses of wayward silverbacks like tinubu. Stinking Asses that people like you find solace in.

Philosophy[edit]
Yoruba culture consists of folk/cultural philosophy, religion and folktales. They are embodied in Ifa-Ife Divination, known as the tripartite Book of Enlightenment in Yorubaland and in Diaspora. The people you are raised to denigrate and hate have already earned a reputation your bitterness cannot dent.

Yoruba cultural thought is a witness of two epochs. The first epoch is an epoch-making history in mythology and cosmology. This is also an epoch-making history in the oral culture during which time Oduduwa was the head and a pre-eminent diviner. He pondered the visible and invisible worlds, reminiscing about cosmogony, cosmology, and the mythological creatures in the visible and invisible worlds. The second epoch is the epoch of metaphysical discourse. This commenced in the 19th century when the land became a literate land through the diligence and pragmatism of Dr. Bishop Ajayi Crowther, the first African Anglican Bishop.

Yoruba thought is mainly narrative in form, explicating and pointing to the knowledge of things, affecting the corporeal and the spiritual universe and its wellness. Yoruba people have hundreds of aphorisms, folktales, and lore, and they believe that any lore that widens people's horizons and presents food for thought is the beginning of a philosophy.

Although religion is often first in Yoruba culture, nonetheless, it is the thought of man that actually leads spiritual consciousness (ori) to the creation and the practice of religion. Thus thought is antecedent to religion.

Today, the academic and the nonacademic community are becoming more and more interested in Yoruba culture. Thus more and more researches are being carried out on Yoruba cultural thought, as more and more books are being written on it—embossing its mark and advancing its research amongst non-African thinkers and political scientists who are beginning to open their doors to other cultures, widening their views.

Religion[edit]
Main article: Yoruba religion
The Yoruba are said to be religious people, but they are also pragmatic and tolerant about their religious differences. Whilst many profess the Yoruba school of thought; many more profess other faiths e.g. Christianity, Islam e.t.c.[12]

[b]Igbos jealous and resentful of those who appear to be more successful than them; they would do everything in their puny powers to pull down seeming successful people.

Let me cite an example of how this works. After high school, while waiting for the result of the national examination to come out, I lived with my father at Lagos. Two months into this waiting game, I obtained Visa to go to the USA. At Ikeja airport one of the Igbo men that attended my church saw me trying to go through immigration (apparently he worked for the immigration. He was surprised to see a teenager going to America while he, an older man, languished as an immigration worker. He scrutinized my passport and the Visa and asked irritating questions on how I got it.

He did everything in his power to make it difficult for me to leave. If he could he would have prevented me from leaving the country. It was clear that he was jealous. Igbos are very jealous people.

They do not like to be left behind by other persons and would put obstacles on your path if they feel that you are doing better than them.[/b]

In personality structure the typical Igbo has traits of paranoia, narcissism and antisocial personality. He is paranoid because aware of his lack of existential worth, and instead of accepting that reality, he masks it with pretended worth; he pretends to have fictional worth.
