Igbos, what is wrong with Yoruba you don't want them? Pls accept them

justice12000:
Reading positive comments above by Yorubas show they so much want to be Igbo or be related to Igbo. That's why they will die to marry Igbo women to get that blood mixed with themselves, they watch and follow more Igbo/Biafran news more than Biafrans themselves. Sorry afonaas Igbos will not accept you people. Afonjas, stay on your afonjas, how difficult this? Igbos have said repeatedly they don't like you people because of your treachery and wickedness. Awolowo starved 3.5 million Igbos to death out of envy, For God in Heaven!

It shows Yorubas are the matured ones and its the igbos that starts tribal wars here. 'Even wars have limit'

Please permit me to share an insight we were taught by renowned West African historians at the then University of Ife, Ile Ife in the 1980s, regarding the 'modern' history of the Yoruba and Igbo: that the Igbo and Yoruba were the same people until about 6000 years ago!

As astonishing as that may seem, this academic thesis was supported by linguistic evidence, although I doubt if this line of research has been continued over the last four decades.

What I am further aware of, however, is attributable to serendipity. As it happened, an amateur linguist (he was actually an American-trained pharmacist) who was our neighbour in Lagos in the 1980s regularly shared with us excitedly, findings from a self-funded study he was conducting on the Yoruba and Ibo languages. Having no academic training in linguistics and totally unaware of what university-educated historians knew, he boldly declared that he had stumbled on linguistic evidence that Yoruba and Ibo were actually from the same 'root' language. This gentleman, an Ibo, was working on a book about this at the time. I do not know if he ever got round to publishing it, as it would be a delight to read what he uncovered from his study.

At the time, his taxonomy of Yoruba and Ibo words that appeared to come from similar root words was fascinating. I clearly remember words like 'Onu' (Igbo) and 'Enu' (Yoruba) both meaning 'mouth'; 'Akuko' and 'Okuko' which both refer to 'Cock'; 'Iba' which translates to 'fever' in both languages and so many other words I cannot immediately recall. Linguists who are well-trained to practise such language games would, of course, know how to explain the exercise he was doing.

Apart from the possibility that Yorubas and Igbos may actually share a common lineage dating thousands of years, one thought that has always stayed with me is this: if this theory were to be empirically proven linguistically, what could this mean for cultural, social and political relations? What about its implications for political integration in Nigeria? What could it mean for the deconstruction of the seeming ethnicisation of politics or put differently, the politicisation of ethnicity by sections of the Nigerian political elite? Surely, a proven thesis of common genealogy between Yorubas and Ibos could have profound implications for the way they see each other. It would be good to see such research funded and published.

On the contrary, even on this thread, a yoruba poster started the insults.
This is the first:

Then this:

And yet again this:


Al these came before responses from Igbos.
