step1:

A socio-cultural group, Coalition of Oodua Self Determination Group, has urged other ethnic groups to emulate the peaceful co-existence among the Yoruba.


The National Chairman of the group, Mr. Dayo Ogunlana, who spoke against the background of the recent post-election violence in some parts of the North, in Lagos on Friday, said the Yoruba related well with other ethnic groups irrespective of their religions.


Ogunlana said, “Other ethnic nationalities should emulate the peaceful co-existence among the Yoruba who relate very well with either their Muslim or Christian neighbours as well as with other nationalities outside the Yoruba nation.


“Care should be taken to always prevent religious and tribal strive. All efforts must be made to foster true nationhood where Nigerians can own property and move freely unmolested at any part of the country.”


He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for conducting free and fair elections, adding that “the April polls were relatively free and fair by our standard.”


Ogunlana therefore called on the relevant authorities to immortalise the slain corps members, saying “they are martyrs.”


He clarified that “COSEG is not only a voice for the Yoruba struggle.We have been reaching out to other ethnic nationalities with a view to forging a common front towards building a virile nation that all of us will be proud of.


“A conference of all ethnic groups in Nigeria and in the Diaspora is in the offing to address the vexatious national question.”

LMAO! This might have made sense if the eediots name wasn't Dayo Ogunlano. . .

aloy/emeka:

Where were they during the Ife-Modakeke war? . Should other ethnic groups emulate that too?

step1:

Ife-Modakeke war did not claim any life apart from yorubas. Where there reports of igbos or northerners dying as a result of the war ?

aloy/emeka:

So Yoruba life is less valuable than the lives of other ethnic groups?. Stop shooting yourself in the leg simply because you want to defend a group of dimwits who made a claim. So killing is allowed as long as it is Yoruba on Yoruba or Igbo on Igbo, etc?

step1:

In this context, the writer is explaining how other groups should stop committing act of killing on another group of people just because they are not from the same ethnic group. Killing is not allowed in any society but one must know that killing people from other ethnic groups just because they live in the same geographical space as your ethnic group is a barbaric act which must be condemned by all.

EzeUche_:

No one is envying you Yorubas. What is there to envy?

Igbos do not envy Yorubas. Yorubas do not envy Hausa. Hausa do not envy Igbos. Igbos do not envy Hausa. Yoruba do not envy Igbo and so on and so on.

Can't you all stay in your sphere of influence?

We can divide Nigeria up in different spheres. Remember there are 247 other tribes in Nigeria!

Emulate rascals?? God forbid. Yorubas are the most despicable and most economically backward people in Nigeria. If you doubt me visit ekiti, oyo, osun and rest of the caves( states). Their foolishness is second to almajiris and mallams up north. I think the SW and north has alot in common (check their outlook, complexion ( so dark, with facial marks), accent etc). Igbos are the only polished people in Nigeria. They are seen as oyibo in every part of Nigeria. They live in good apartments, eat good foods etc.

Its feel like an American being Igbo.

Ajokuta ma momi ,oponu buru ku.

So you be oyinbo (laugh wan kill me die).I have never see people that have such acute inferiority complex like you jungle igbos.Na oyinbo you wan be like.Congratulations ,Nigerian oyinbo.

Tomorrow ,you will claim to be Jews of Nigeria.Why can you just claim to black ,Igbo and proud without comparing yourselves to some light skinned folks in another part of the planet.

It is feel like "American being Igbos"(chai i wan die here o)Do you know that America is broke and i mean fxcking broke? You be very razz person if america dey shack you like this.

Ogini? You leave in nice apartments / for where? O boy you dey smoke too much igbo ,take am easy o! Igbo means bush so i am not surprised that many of you folks act like bush monkeys.Go to ajegunle ,Okoko maiko ,Alaba and go how see how your kinsmen live like vermin in their rat infested ,over populated slums.Even in the east your infrastructure is appalling as compared to the SW.Most of you live in mud houses and fetch water from the stream.

Igbos are not good businessmen they are just good petty traders.When it come to big time business Yorubas rule.We are not talking about spare parts ,okirika or fake electronics.
