My Yoruba Brothers Give your Reason why we don't get along with the Igbos by yeanka007: 1:54am On Jan 15, 2016
Yoruba and Igbo exchange of insults because of hatred between the two tribes is a
heart breaking.

I have lots Igbo friends when I was in school and I Love the Igbos alot.

I would be happy if the Igbos and the Yorubas can come together has one so therefore in order to solve a problem one has to know its roots.

The Igbos has always accused us the Yoruba as betrayals but I think it's a matter of lack of understanding between the two tribes.

So my Yoruba people what are the things the Igbos do that you don't like; Please a Igbo should open a similar tread.

Note: The purpose of this tread of for both side amend their wrong in order to bring about a peaceful relationship.

As for me one the things my igbo brothers do wrongly is lack of respect for host.

Yoruba is known for respect, we cherish Respect very and the Yorubas respect is more than greeting.

To us Respect is also acknowledging your host as a king of his house/territory.

Some of my igbo brothers get carried away sometimes that they act or things we Yorubas term as Disrespectful. One is them is situations where see an Igbo guy says " Igbos more than Yorubas in Lagos so Lagos is a no man's land"

Imagine a Yoruba guy goes to Imo and said such statement, the Yorubas will criticez him heavily because we believe that is insulting.

Pls Omo Odua add yours so that they can learn to amend what we considered wrong doings.

Dumb thing... I actually my first thought was... there they go again and, then I thought you were actually making sense, until you proved me right.

How in your mind will this kind of thread bring about amends between both tribes?

I am Igbo my roommate is Yoruba, I am currently in school(Night class) with two Yoruba friends.

I am not saying these problems don't exist but, the irony and disguise of this hokum of a thread is what upsets me.

Op is a learner in ibo matter! There were more hateful Ibos here a long time ago but now they are all dead and tired of the constant insult that had not even brought them one once of fortune. Dede1, onlytruth, ngakwe, afameva, osisi, etc. Nigeria moves on inspite of their hate so just leave them alone. No need to insult anyone.

Well some of the stuffs said are true tho. Turns out I have trusted more igbos than in life than any tribe and what I have come to find out is that many of them end of proving to be worse than they say u are. The problem I have had is with the ones that grew up in the east. They always say 1 million and 2 reasons why they hate yoruba but turn out to be terrible human beings. Tho I love igbos because of their resilient never say never die attitude which always works for them but to be sincere the civilized igbos that grew up outside the east or sorjourned their comfort zones tend to be great people to hang out with. 2 cents tho

Does anyone ask if we get along with other ethnic groups? No. It is unecessary. As members of the samenation we are supposed to get along. So why is Ibo different? We should not be ssked why Yoruba does not get along with Ibo....the question is misplaced.

OP, you should ask why Ibo is hated by all ethnic groups in the country. Its an Ibo problem, not Yoruba.

it is only on nairaland that they use to insult themselves but in real life mehn they are best of friends ooo. the fact still remains that the civil war saga still linger in the memory of many igbos who have read history or were victims of the war. Yorubas and igbos are the two major ethnic groups that can take Nigeria to its rightful place in the comity of nations.

@Op, is mischievous and should be ignored. If he/she has been here long enough to know what is happening, he/she should know the perpetrator and who started what. I'm sure he/she knows how this thread is going to end and created it for that purpose.

I hate when Yoruba are lumped with ibos as tribalist. Only a wicked person would not know the tribe that revolves around hate and the one trying to make sure lies don't stick.

Meaning that Igbos in the east are not civilised or what? Does it also mean that Yorubas that grew up in the west are also uncivilized? What a dumb sentence that ends up pointing four fingers back at you.

Ever since the continued clamour for a separate existence essentially every topic here is being created to disparage and cast Igbo people in bad light. 
Readers are being inundated with multiple threads of same content thriving at the same time. Even opposing views to such posts are, more often than not, suppressed and the posters banned. Such anomaly is being permitted maybe to satisfy sponsors and justify the pay. 

Many Igbo people have been forced out of Nairaland already to even provide the needed responses. Their absence has not brought the desired sanity expected on this forum. And judging from the grumpiness of individuals behind many of the sponsored posts there is still no peace in sight. 

It is too glaring that there exists a sinister plot to promote daily attacks on the Igbo people and their course. But on the long run the truth will always prevail.

You guys should just let the Igbo people be. They are comfortable being on their own. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

We should all learn to love each other. Our politcans just dey use our heads. For me all tribes should develop their area we all waste too much valuable time hating on ourselves while bad guys are stealing our collective wealth. To me let's all be honest with ourselves as for Lagos its within Yoruba domain but was developed by Nigerians wealth just like Abuja. Maybe one day in the future d Gbagi or hausas will claim ownership of all d development there not minding it was d sweat and blood of Nigerdeltans that was used to build Abuja. We are all watching in 3d smiley

This i s the problem ..it's orientation and leaning

The Yoruba believes in much respect and king things
The igbo believe that he is a king unto himself and owe nobody any apology and his respect should be gotten via his hard work and ressillient not because you are a host or older


You see why both might find it difficult to merge
The Yoruba are more of socialist in nature
The igbo are more of capitalist in nature
The Yoruba are Monarchist in nature
The igbo are Republican in nature


The question is why and how do they merge


I pray and hope they will ever merge ...but nairaland is making that hard
