Igbo/yoruba/hausa by lelouchan: 5:34pm On Jan 08, 2011
Hi all, I just joined this trend and I am shocked at the intense yoruba/igbo/hausa bashing. For God's sake, we are all NIGERIANS and I assumed we would have some sort of solidarity. But this is not the case, instead all I hear is 'yoruba people are dirty', 'igbo people are rude or loud', I can't really remember what they said about Hausas but it wasn't much better.

I honestly think it is silly and pointless to have these stupid tensions especially at a time when we are more or less the laughing stock of this continent. We have our stupid corrupt politicians in power, we have loads of foreigners hating Nigerians, and we have huge massive corporations like shell making a PROFIT over our people's sufferings. For God's sake, some people can't eat a full three meal and Shell is making billions from OUR oil. THAT is what we should think about, those are the people we need to talk about and bash and in that sense, all unite against these issues. I mean I honestly honestly have met loads of Nigerians from different places and thought they were nice, sure we have slight differences but way more similarities. Anyway I hope I don't get a lot of insults for what I just said, but please I hope there are people who at least agree with me

and just in case you think i'm talking nonsense, please just read this

absolutely disgusting.

i see you point, but to foster unity, we all need to respect each other

as you can see from the various threads you have read, most igbos do not respect other nigerians, they call various groups all sort of names from nbgati to aboki to almajiri. they call some parasites and call others leeches. they bring biafra to almost every discussion or bring 1967. if they do not start a thread " we are the best in this and that" they will start a thread that " igbos unity etc you are igbo and u deny it" they even compare themselves to northerners and yorubas why i ask undecided

if you go to the political, tribalism, cultural section you will also notice this trend

each time we talk of unity, they insult the north for the woes of the nation



now if they do not respect other people how do you expect others to respect them

although i have met some very respectable igbos on this forum eg ChinenyeN, Abagworo, mikenesy, sometime Andre uweh, and eccanny, also chyz before he ran mad undecided

but some of them just come to this forum to pick a fight with other groups ,,,,reason i do not know undecided

as for the yorubas, sometimes they tend to pull the legs of the igbos people on this forum, and the igbo retaliates which is a act of self defence,,,but all in all i agree is childish

i hope nigerians in dispora and nigeria will unite one day smiley

I agree we should all get along Lelouchan.  We are African people with a common history of being expoited by outsiders.

@leluchan
You are very very right.
But the issue is that it is sometimes difficult to walk away when someone says ill of your tribe in an attempt to claim superiority and self glorification as against what we experience of that same tribe in our day-to-day living. . .that is why pple defend their tribes cos other parts of the world are reading the negatives or false things being said against them. So it is better not to start one cos if started, the victimised tribe will not fold arms.

You mean the same Andre Uweh that created the "Andre Uweh" ID to be neutral and many more other IDs to be tribalistic, pretending to be different people?  How is the agbaya of a buffoon respectable? 

@Post
Can we stop grouping Yorubas with whatever dilemma is facing Nigeria? I feel like you people are trying to force the Yorubas into a "peaceful" union. Enough of these Yorubas/Igbos/Hausa threads, those are not the only tribes in the country.

@OP

Get used to it. I did when I registered. I agree its not entirely a nice thing but you've got to for your life's sake. You see, Nairaland is a microcosm of the greater Nigerian society. I must say that registering on Nairaland opened my eyes to the full gore of tribalism and its effects on the Nigerian mind. I've better understood other Nigerians through this forum. For that sake, I'll never stay, fold my arms and allow anyone to bash my people or my nation (Igboland). wink

Big-for-nothing-fool, if I were you, I wouldnt have replied this way due to the honour that has been bestowed on me . . .but due to your immaturity and guts to curse a fellow human being. . .I say ACCORDING TO YOUR WISH, may barrenness never cease from your generation, your children will go out but will never return home.

You daughter of a prostituing mother, when she insulted me first you didn't see it. No one insults me and gets away with it. Know it now, shameless maggot.

When I get insulted you feel it is cool, but when I hit back, you feel it is not o.k. Alh you may not know, I always give it back when insulted. So you may hold your respect for now.

Awww, better be careful, before I report to your wife and female children that you decided to "grace" me with the poem you dedicated to her Yesterday. How did the poem go?; "
