Sometimes when I am tempted to engage my Yoruba brethren in tribal e-war, I pause to think about the quality Yoruba men and women who have impacted my life positively. I can count at least five yorubas who have made more impacts in my life than even my own tribesmen.

I am equally sure that many of my Yoruba brethren who are honest enough can attest to the fact that they have been positively impacted in one way or the other by Igbo's .

If the foregoing statements are factual, and if the majority of the two tribes adhere to the Christian faith, why then do we find it difficult to forgive each other's shortcomings? Why have the Igbo's refused to forgive the Yoruba's for the roles SOME of them played in the civil war, and why would the Yoruba's chose to attack Igbo's living in their lands because of the political choices made by SOME Igbo's or because of the comments of a microscopic few Igbo's on social media?

It is unfortunate that most of these tribal attacks have been aided and abetted by our elders and even traditional rulers who ordinarily should be in the forefront of redirecting the young ones towards the path of peaceful coexistence.

For those those of you who like to beat the drums of war, let me inform you that wars are no friends to any side as both sides are left to count losses at the end. Besides, let's not forget that we already have our lovely daughters and sisters who are married to both sides. Think about what will become of them in the event of tribal war.

I am writing this piece to make a passionate appeal to both sides to call themselves to order. All these tribal scuffles should stop. Let us apply common sense and let peace reign between the two tribes. Some people up north are taking advantage of our inability to unite to perpetuate themselves in power, yet we have refused to put aside our differences and work together.

Please, this thread is not for another tribal e-war, but for us to have a sober reflection and make amends in the way we relate with each other.

Let him who has ears hear.

Thank you for reading.

I was unfortunate to stumble upon some tribal threads here recently and kept seeing alot of people use the term "HOST".

Lets tell ourselves the truth, you can't be a "host" to someone living in the same house as you are, unless of course you decide to live separately. Then you can invite guests over and legitimately be able to call yourself a "host".

I think the best way forward, as most have already been clamoring for, is for the country to divide. I think then, we'd have better diplomatic relations with one another.

That's the only logical approach that comes to mind.

wytecat:
Why is it that your selective amnesia relapses only when Yoruba respond to Ibo's shenanigans?

Ibos have been going crazy and you didn't call them to order but as soon as we look in their direction, you remember how to be good neighbors.

Enough of these threads! If you really hope to achieve something worthwhile, why don't you call for a truce so as to know where to put blame next time. Yoruba are just now responding to Ibos after years of abuses.

I am sure you haven't read the thread at all. If you did, you would have noticed that I didn't take side im my submission.

Mind you, that I chose to toe the path of peace doesn't mean I am not capable of dishing out greater measure of attacks on you folks , but my common sense wouldn't let me stoop that low.

@OP - You have spoken like a patriotic & detribalized Nigerian, but unless the Jewish Barbarians agree to the following terms, the season 2 of 1967 which will be titled “Hotel Biafra” is inevitable, and the enmity between the Yorubas & Yeebos will continue to grow like that of the Anunnaki step-brothers Yahweh & Lucifer.

1.) All Yeebos must cease calling Lagos a “No Man's Land”

2.) All Yeebos must cease calling Yorubas “Ndi Ofe Manu”.

3.) All Yeebos must stop listening to Radio Biafra, and give up the idea of Biafra, else they will be charged with Treason and summarily executed like Major Gideon Okar

4.) All Yeebos must respect every King in all Yorubaland, especially Oba Akiolu of Lagos, else we shall dredge & expand the Lagoon.

5.) All Yeebos must cease calling themselves jews, else they will receive the Adolf Hiltler treatment meted to the Jews at the Auschwitz Nazi camp.

6.) All Yeebos must love & support President Mohammadu Buhari and also embrace APC.

7.) All Igbo merchants must stop selling fake & sub-standard goods.

8.) All Yeebos must stop shielding & defending their corrupt public office holders

9.) All Yeebos must stop abusing Awolowo.

10.) I need to sleep now and will continue when I wake up. Meanwhile, any word, curse & arrow fired against me shall backfire back to the senders in multiple folds.

It baffles me too ooo...

Especially some taking 1967 civil wars for head as if they were alive and fought it then sef..


Let it go..............

LadyFiona:
The past takes centre stage in today's affairs and have significant effect on the future.
I must say your comment is insensitive and juvenile.

modath:


You know quite well this thread will definitely go to hell in a handbasket soon as people wake up ... & you are teribble mediator...

you do not say you are suing for PEACE & begin with "Engage your YORUBA brethren in an E-war", continue with allusion to the civil war then End with castigating traditional RULERS & claim your intention is NOBLE..

I know a trouble makere when I see One, you OP are a major RABBLE ROUSER & you should be ashamed of yourself!!!

First rule of mediation is do not apportion blame to one party, rather sue for peace, tell each one the positive in their association & keep it moving.. if you were being sincere you'd know that...

Movic1:
I didnt see this type of thread when the igbos are attacking/abusing yorubas everyday on Nairaland. Yorubas are replying the igbos and all of a sudden they are now good neighbors shouting Peace.
This is just the beginning,Igbos Must learn.

mightyokwy:

Bro I will appreciate it if you can give me one clear example how and when igbos are attacking yorubas.

You are acting like somebody who just signed up Nairaland acct today.I cant stress myself giving examples. Yorubas cant just standup without any reasons attacking igbos. Igbos pushed us to the wall.
