I have been opportuned to live with Nigerians from different ethnic backgrounds and religion. By far the most ethnocentric and sentimental of them all are the YORUBAS and the IGBOs. My reasons are numerous and are based on observations marred with objectivity, some of which are;

1. An average Yoruba person believes only a Yoruba man knows everything and can serve in any capacity, something of which any other man cannot.
2. An average Igbo man believes his clans men are the economic nerve of Nigeria and without them, Nigeria will die of penury. #wrong Nwanem.
3. An average Igbo man will prefer to eat in an 'Igbo restaurant ' than any other when he's outside his region (he thinks no one cooks better than them).
4. An average Yoruba person will dialogue in his native dialect with his kinsman even in an heterogeneous gathering! Family house corpers!
5. An average Igbo person will sell something cheaper for his kinsman than he would an alien tribe.

Now to the south south people of Nigeria, the most neutral and objective set of humans I have met yet. They give little credence to ethnicity, they relate to anyone from any ethnic group. They aren't hostile to visitors and they have no crass for 'tribal nationalism'. #Warri #Ogoni #Eket #Calabar #Benin #Ekeremor...

My sincere observations and opinions

I noticed

Thought I was alone.

I agree on all grounds. South southerners are the most liberal Nigerians.

Bro, U need to add the Hausa(s) too for d list to be complete! They are guilty of some of this too and that's why we are Nigerians! No wonder when the Super Eagles play any other National Team, we expect to beat THEM!

I get your point. But that of the Hausa is not as toxic as those mentioned in my post.

ok bro.

I totally agree with the op. This is the reason why these two tribe are always against each other. They are the most tribalistic people I have met. The A's people are always welcoming.

Well noticed!

Is this some sort of consoling thread for nigerians from minority tribes?cos saying that those from d ss are not tribalistic is a big FARCE.where do the likes of dokubo and anniko briggs come from?they are also tribalistic just in smaller numbers.what do u say about ijaws,itsekiris and urhobos killing each other in warri(is that how non tribalistic tribes are to behave to each other?)pls spare us ur stories cos they dont make sense...u forgot the north,or what would u say about them killing corpers from the south when buhari lost in 2011,is dat how non tribalistic tribes behave?majority of nigerians from all tribes are tribalistic and that is the bitter truth,some are just more vocal than others

Visit Warri/Yenagoa/Calabar/Benin/Uyo/PH... If you experience hostility, then am wrong! or ask anyone who have stayed in these places. Killing themselves in SS? Tell me which tribe in the world have not for once experience ethnic clash?

I can't unfollow you! It will display a quarrel... I attack issues!

Your observations seem true... In Nigeria, the Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas are the three major ethnic group causing confusion/conflicts in the country, with each one claiming superiority over the other.


The world would be a better place when we start seeing an individual for who they are and not basing our judgements on ethnic ground, recognizing the humanity in us and treating people as equal.

My sincere observations and opinions

I have spent almost ten yrs in Yoruba land.... 6 at Akure and another 3 and still counting btween ogun and lagos.... Yorubas are the most tribalistic pple I have ever met. They may be nice to u but they will never accept u as their equal or better. The worst and funniest example of their tribalism happened to me when I was in the university... we were in class waiting for lecturer and me and a friend were conversing in urhobo when a girl in front of me ( who incidentally had been gisting in Yoruba with her friend) turns to us and says "why are u pple speaking delta here? Its very tribalistic of you" the argument that ensued is best imagined! Lol.
