I am getting to realise that indeed the igbos are tribalistic. I know we yoruba are, to some extent. I hated it, but the last few years..recent events are showing that none comes close to the igbos when it comes to tribalism.



Tribalism is a cancer.

Obi1kenobi:


Every Nigerian group is tribalistic. There's nothing like "to some extent". There are plenty of Yoruba tribalists, just as there are plenty of Igbo tribalists. For every Igbo man that thinks Yorubas are some kind of lazy, dirty, duplicitous, fetish agberos, there are more than enough Yorubas that think Igbos are a bunch of unruly, unrefined, uneducated, money-grubbing criminals and con men.

Timbuktuo:


Can you see how the few igbos on here aren't calling out the MC? In fact, they seem happy he spoke that way, after all, were the band members blind? And if they were, were they deaf? I think it's a cultural thing with them. It's a sign of strength and bravery where they come from. For omoluabis, that's would be an embarrassing show of utter classlessness.

Omoluabi16:
What you stated are mere opinions. I think the igbo man is lousy/loud and loves money. You have you have your own opinions. But when do we draw the line from just reservations to blatant hatred? It is hatred. simple as that.don't want to dwell on this anyway.. Very true bro. Omoluabis despite our flaws will never hate.

What about "fada fada" by phyno and olamide or any other song by phyno alone knowing that he raps in igbo language a lot.

I have attended weddings of pple from other parts of Nigeria, yoruba inclusive, where "Ada Ada " by flavour was played.

Its obvious that This level of hatred and intolerance is an igbo thing if you ask me and its being spread by a vocal minority.

truth is the hatred pple like you point to is really non existent. What we have instead are natural haters, like south Africans against Nigerians , who want to die hating others. This shi.ite happened far away in the US bruv, not here in Nigeria. If a Yoruba DJ graced his church member wedding with his band free of charge and was walked out afterwards, who is the tribalist and pained hater here. The guy ddnt even sing in Yoruba he sand in englis but played juju tunes. This goes to show how intolerant some igbos can be. With this kind of behavious little wonder why others don't invest in sir land. If the yorubas were not accomodatging the igbos can't archive jack in the west.

This is real madness taking too far. Its like saying no afrobeat in igbomans party because fela is Yoruba.

The OP said it all already, remove the ekene dili chukwu bus in your eyes before you point a the keke napep in someones else's eyes.

Obi1kenobi:


The bolded is a meaningless statement. What you stated is as much a "mere opinion" as what I stated. Believe it or not, regardless of the nonsense that gets peddled here, the hatred you think we carry around is figment of the imagination: especially as concerns Yorubas. Igbos do hate Hausa/Fulanis. It's undeniable and a legacy of the lingering bitterness from the civil war and pre-civil war pogroms and a long list of massacres and the perception they rule the country and are beneficiaries of unmerited government largesse and favourable policies. What Igbos feel for Yorubas is basically the same mutual suspicion and distrust that exists among Yorubas about Igbos.
If you harbour suspicions about Igbo men because you think we're "lousy/loud and love money", you're no different from other tribalists you decry.

Jesu!!! And I attended several Igbo weddings where Sunny Nneji's "Oruka" was played. Yet, you people keep peddling the same horseshit again and again, repeating the same fallacy.

And then there's the same predictable stuff about being "accommodators" and simplistic nonsense about how people don't invest in the SE because of our behaviour. So that makes sense to an adult like you? The SW is the most prosperous region in Nigeria because it is the most strategically located region in the country, making it historically first the contact point of colonialists and then the main trade route through land and sea with the world and other West African nations. Consequently, industries naturally and organically aggregated around it. The SE is the least strategically located region in the country having no sea access and being the only region with no international land borders and also by far the smallest landmass in the country and the least gifted in mineral and natural resources and arable land. There's also the small fact it has comfortably the smallest Federal presence among the regions. That might account for our inferior investments compared to the SW. You can keep peddling nonsense though about our behaviour and our tribalism, since it makes you feel all better and self-righteous.

Since the 16th century, Calabar had been a recognized international seaport, shipping out goods such as palm oil. During the era of the Atlantic slave trade, it became a major port in the transportation of African slaves and was named Calabar by the Spanish. By the 18th century, most slave ships that transported slaves from Calabar were English, with around 85% of these ships being owned by Bristol and Liverpool merchants. Old Calabar (Duke Town) and Creek Town, 10 miles northeast, were crucial towns in the trade of slaves in that era. The first British warship to sail as far as Duke Town, where she captured seven Spanish and Portuguese slavers, may have been HMS Comus in 1815. _{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabar}

Hello, Calabar was also a contact point for the early colonial masters, and a main trading route as well. Why didn't 'industries naturally and organically aggregate' around it? Federal presence was removed from Lagos to Abuja in 1991, when Abuja became the political capital of Nigeria. Yet Lagos, has remained a thriving city and commercial capital.

Obi1kenobi:
Which industries did Nigeria have in the 16th to early 20th century? Slave industry? The colonial government and the FG didn't invest 1/100th what it invested in Lagos as the seat of power and trade hub in Calabar. Why kid yourself?

I'm tired of having these Lagos arguments. It's interesting you talk about Abuja. It was basically a bush, but in 1/3rd the time Lagos spent as capital of Nigeria, it has become basically the most developed city in the country. Ondo, Osun, Oyo and Ekiti are not like Lagos. They are "accommodating" Yorubas too, are they not? Ogun is coming up fast only because it's lucky to be the border state surrounding Lagos and industries are spilling over from Lagos into it. This still points to the relevance of strategic location. There's no point deluding ourselves about the blessings of Lagos. Kaduna is the most developed state in the core North and Enugu is the most developed city in the SE because they were regional administrative capitals. Government investment matters.
But all this is irrelevant. Calabar is not an Igbo city. I'm pointing out the fallacious logic in claiming greater investment in the SW compared to the SE is because of how "accommodating" Yorubas are. If you put that nonsense in a first year term-paper in university, you'd get a resounding F.

The Nigerian colonial economy depended on three major export crops - cocoa, palm produce and groundnuts. The colonial economy in most of Africa was structured to improve the economies of the colonizing or metropolitan powers. However, given the fact that one major reason why Britain colonized Nigeria was to ensure a cheap and steady supply of raw materials to British industries, the colonial administration completely discouraged the cultivation of food crops while encouraging cash crops production (Usoro 1977). ....The raw materials, which Britain needed included cotton for British textile factories, rubber for tyres and other products, palm oil and kernel for soap and margarine, groundnut for manufacturing oil, hides and skins for leather products, timber for furniture as well as tin, coal, amongst others (Onimode 1981). _{http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.487.9902&rep=rep1&type=pdf}

Please go back into history. The slave trade was abolished in 1807 when the British parliament enacted the Slave Trade Act, making it a crime for British merchants to take part in the slave trade. By 1850 Britain had drawn up anti-slavery treaties with West African traditional rulers or monarchs, to put an end to the heinous act of slave trafficking. Attention was then turned to cash crops and commodities such as palm oil, cocoa, groundnuts and palm kernels, which were exported to Europe in large quantities to make soap, and used as machine lubricants. It was even speculated that palm oil exports alone, were worth £1 billion a year by 1840.

Calabar was the closest port to the Igbo communities in the colonial era, and when the trade in legitimate commodities started, such products were harvested from Igbo land (especially Onitsha) and exported through Calabar ports. In fact, the Calabar protectorate was a major point for export of palm products from Igbo land to Europe. Don't forget that Britain also formed the Oil Rivers Protectorate, which included the Niger Delta, and extended eastward to Calabar.

You stated that the "SW is the most prosperous region in Nigeria, because it is the most strategically located region in the country, making it historically first the contact point of colonialists and then the main trade route through land and sea with the world and other West African nations.

I merely pointed out that Calabar also had early contact with the colonialists, and served as a major trade route by sea and land, to the rest of the world. It was also strategically located. So its' development should have been similar to Lagos, during the colonial period, not so?

You people are full of hypocrisy.It's 24hrs I threw up a challenge for Yorubas to post a video of Igbo highlife musician performing at famous Yoruba owambe.You as a Yoruba person, will you play Oriental brothers at your traditional wedding?

Timbuktuo:
The author is right. It is normal to expect Igbo songs at an igbo/igbo dominated event. Perhaps the MC was too brash in rejecting the band. He could have arranged for them to play a little of what they know and have the DJ play songs igbos would like to listen to. Everybody is happy. Tact and diplomacy are very crucial attributes to possess.

Well, I wish I had known that this topic would come up for discussion. Maybe I would have made a video recording of an event I attended last week. I went to a traditional introduction party held for a Yoruba couple recently and guess what song the bride chose to herald her entry into the hall? It was a gospel song titled Igwe sung by Midnight Crew which was led by Pat Uwaje -King.

Igwe is an Igbo gospel track that is quite popular in a lot of churches today.

idealogical:



1. Was there any other band or DJ (Specifically igbo band) at the wedding party hired by the igbo bride to play igbo music? No

2. Is it your reasonable conclusion that the band on their own invited themselves to the igbo event purposely to harass them with Yoruba juju music.?

3. Why didn't the bride herself object to the band's presence and even prevent them from playing Yoruba music?

4. Obviously, the band didn't show up uninvited or without any previous knowledge or discussion between the bride and the band and also, the fact that there wasn't any other band at the party means the band that showed up was the paid and invited band.
