superior in what exactly?

Like you don't know

See every body claiming greatness. its good sha and thats why we need to respect each other more.
hmmm, Lovely thread and lovely comments. Those who claim their race is superior can be forgiven afterall thats what been proud of who you are is all about. I am a Yoruba man by blood and way of life(culture), black by skin color, Nigerian by geographical definition of where i am from, a member of the human race by biological characterisitics, citizen of the world, an earthling by location in the Universe,

All in all i love being a Yoruba and a Nigerian. I think i will probably remain these two(at least one) till my last breath,

Nice description of Yorubas and the tortoise probably the reason why the tortoise features a lot in our folktales.

omo yoruba ni mioo swagger,

The native tongue of the Yoruba people,is spoken by natives of other countries apart from nigeria.  Benin,  Togo ,Brazil,Sierra Leone (where it is called Oku),  Cuba (where it is called Nago).and their culture and tradtion i.e shango,obalu aye,oshun are their mode of worship.

Definition of Tribe

A political, ethnic, or ancestral division of ancient states and cultures.

Please do not make a big deal out of the word TRIBE. It is an ancient word pretty much for the same thing as you referring to ethnicity. If all is one blood family then it wouldn't be any name titles such as:

Igbos
Yorubas
Edo
Hausa
calabari
Delta
Anambra
Ijaw

and HOST OF OTHERS. Keep going with the POSITIVE people. You are doing good.

Oh well every man to his own. However, I'd rather you refer to mine as ethnic group.

The yorubas have said it all

Can we talk about non Nigerian tribe? please

where am i from sef

Same place as me,

Or you are from my bedroom

In my next world, if there will ever be. I don't want to be a Nigerian. I just want to be an IGBO! We are too beautiful, enterprising and intelligent.

Looking like atupa parlour isn't exactly beauty.

Rubbish nonsensical tribalistic thread!

I will refer it to whatever I wants it to be referred to. You do not have to stay on the thread or look at it any further. Your choice.

Nayah:

The topic didn't specified only Nigerian tribes.

Do you prefer it to be negative?

I love the Yoruba owanbe parties  

Yorubas can greet on anything. If rain starts falling, you'll hear "eku ojo yii o"   If pesin dey cook, na "eku onje n se o".

I admire the Yorubas because they are not quick in adopting foreign names.
They do not deny Yoruba when it does not suit them.
They promote Yoruba culture through Yoruba films.
There is high level of religious tolerance amongst them.

Completely true esp #1 to #3!!

"Calabari"?
I've never heard of that ethnic group, but i've heard of three main ethnic groups in Cross River State the Efik, the Ejagham, and the Bekwarra.
Anywho, where are the people that argue for moving topics like these to the racism and tribalism section?
To a foreigner a Nigerian is a Nigerian and here abroad we don't care what language you speak, we are just happy to see another Nigerian, lol.

Can you imagine a foreigner telling us to say something positive about our culture?

Shame.

fulani (and most of our hausa bros and sis) fear no one but GOD, self dependant, hospitable, respectful/loyal, knowledge seekers and peace loving

It is a shame that a Non-Nigerian has to encourage you and yours to say something positive about your tribe.

Pathetic indeed.

Kalabari is an ethnic group in Rivers state. Not in Cross River.

what does no fear have anything to do with fighting? 

it just means we dont subscribe to hatred and fear and that is a good thing, we that we can protect our family, friends and communities without fear of earth things ruling over our peace, that is a beautiful thing

Im from all the tribes. One love, One tribe, One nation. Dividing us was the genesis of the problems in Naija. We cld have been one with one universal language, universal culture, lifestyle, norms, folktale and skin color.

Ba wo ni? Aba di die? Ogini? Yarin ya?
