If Igbos actually get a country which includes the south-south, they will be 100 times worse than the Fulani. They will foment WAR on the south south to eliminate them, completely.

They will never allow those people to control those oil and gas resources.

Their desperation to own and control those resources is the ONLY reason behind their secession agitation and hatred for Nigeria.

But they will never tell you that.

omohayek:

And here you exemplify the very kind of blinkered stereotyping and projection I was speaking about. If you sincerely believe such nonsense, you can't have met many northerners in your life, because the vast majority would consider your statement so insulting as to be "fighting words".

omohayek:

Stop projecting your own failings onto others. I'm Yoruba but know full well the distinction between Efiks, Edos, Itsekiris, Ikwerres, Urhobos, Ijaws and many other SS groups who aren't your kinsmen. It's your own people who have repeatedly betrayed their own bigotry and ignorance by treating "the north" as a homogenous body of "head-slammers" and calling Buhari a member of some mythical "Hausa" oligarchy, even though he has not a drop of Hausa blood and no true Hausa man has ever ruled Nigeria. You (falsely) claim to be the most travelled of all tribes, yet few of you seem to understand the distinctions between Angas, Tiv, Birom, Kanuri, Nupes, Idomas and many others you routinely treat as an "ignorant", faceless "muslim" horde, in yet another act of projection.

Are There ONLY Yorubas and Igbos on This Forum?

Where Is Everyone Else?

Nigeria has over 300 ethnic groups.

300 full languages.

But if you visit this site, you will be forgiven for thinking that only 2 ethnic groups exist in Nigeria.

Igbo and Yoruba.

Why is this?

Where are the voices of the Itsekiri, the Afang, the Berom, the Urhobo, the Mwaghavul, the Shanga, the Jaba, the Ijaw, the Kanuri, the Ebira, the Igala, the Nupe, the Ibibio.

IS THERE EVEN ONE SINGLE IBIBIO PERSON ON NAIRALAND?

Any Jukun person?

Ogoni?

Oron? Dendi? Tarok? Idoma? Edo?

Any Igede people here?

Damakawa?

Zarma?

Bahumono?

Kanembu?

Buduma?

Atyap?

Any ATYAP person around?

Where is everyone?

Some of these groups number MILLIONS of people.

But it's almost as if they don't exist in the Nigerian scheme of things.

Seriously marginalised.

Beremx:
Only two ethnic groups exist on nairaland. Others hide under Yoruba ethnic group to fight Igbos while Igbo ethnic group remains a one man army. Example is MagicBishop whom I believe is from SS and Yarimo who is from the north

Duro4change bears yoruba moniker but is a pure Mallam from north central
Same thing with triple996,another pure Mallam
Thefacelessman mental is from yaribe from Kwara who now bow down flat on the ground for his Fulani emir gambari of ilorin

Rossikk:


I'm Igbo.

Rossikk:

I'm Igbo.

Rossikk:


Thank you my brother.

Don't mind that idiot.

I believe that these 'forgotten' ethnic groups we have are Nigeria's hidden joker.

I look forward to a Nigeria where the talents and unique cultures of these various ethnic groups are brought to the fore, and right up there with the 'big 3' in popularity and esteem.

I'm even considering setting up a restaurant with the worlds, NO IGBO, YORUBA, OR HAUSA FOOD HERE.

If you want to eat, come in and eat. We only cook traditional, exotic food from all the other ethnic groups apart from those 3.

CJStarz:
Who marginalized who? Na inferiority complex dey worry most of them. A forum where Urhobo,Ijaw and Bini dey form Yoruba,Tivi,Kanuri and Ebira dey form Hausa and Ikwerre dey deny their Igboness,because of their hatred for the Igbos.

Rossikk:


Exactly. It actually puts a lie to the claim that Nigerians are ''divided'. We are not divided.

It is only this Igbo v Yoruba nonsense.

Always a contest involving them plus Hausa Fulani.

One of them or the other always complaining of 'marginalisation'.

Nobody ever asks an Itsekiri man if he feels 'marginalised'.

Or the Mwaghavul people of Plateau state.

Ancestors of the Oriental Asians.

Nobody ever asks them their opinion of what is going on in Nigeria.

ARE THESE PEOPLE LESSER NIGERIANS?

DaddyFreeze2020:
There are only three tribes in Nigeria

IGBO,
YORUBA,
HAUSA.

All other tribes fall under one of these.

DMerciful:
There are others but both Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis sees everybody thats not Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani as Igbo.

Were you not here in Feb presidential election that they were calling all SS people as Igbos?

If you wanna verify, criticize Tinubu and you'd be branded Igbo immediately

misano:


Nah, not true. Most people from SS, especially Edo and Delta always take Igbos side when it comes to national issues. Although we might have few issues with them but in general we work better with Igbos.

Just like GEJ. The Ijaw usually have issues with Igbos but when it comes to national issues he work more with Igbos than Yorubas. At some point Yorubas felt marginalized.

2elliot:
You are a really big "gboun" "obori".
I am an Ijaw from Bayelsa, so asides our so called political and militancy leaders who use Igbo hate as a currency to buy peanut favors from the Nigeria slave masters, the average ijaw man has no issues with the igbos. The ijaw man freely goes to Aba, Onitsha markets and co and do their buying and selling without any issues. The igbos work and trade in our lands without any issues. We inter-marry without any issue.
What is apparent to me as the issue between the Yorubas and the igbos is as a result of the fact that the Yorubas do not have an homogeneous Christian population as do the Igbo which would have produced similar outlook to life. The large Muslim population of the Yorubas have a similar dreams of the north–dominion.
This constant bickering would have been non existent if the igbos had a large Muslim population.

BoldBrainz:


How am I even sharing the same country with people like this abeg😔?!

IjawKimi:
big lies...I am Ijaw...and proved to me when we Ijaws sided with igbos most? if you think you know my Ijaw more than me.

Rossikk:


ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.

WHAT AN EGREGIOUS INSULT TO THE OVER 297 ETHNIC GROUPS AND LANGUAGES THAT ARE NOT OF THOSE 3.

Rossikk:


Yorubas are the separatists. They want you to leave their lands where you settled in your millions.

You are the real UNITY BEGGARS, because there are even more of you in the north than the entire Igboland and SW combined.

Your actions (settling all over Nigeria in your tens of millions) speak louder than your words ('we hate Nigeria and want to secede')

I'm even surprised you haven't started dragging land ownership with Hausa people on their soil, Mr internet secessionist.

stuffs2002:



Same IIGB0S that call every Northerner Aboki
