Yoruba Xenophobia

Assuming the yorubas repeat what happened in South africa in Lagos by using the OPC to chase every other Nigerian tribe in lagos back to their home state. What do you think will follow the development? Will it affect the lagos and S western  economy or will such move be more beneficial  economically to the yorubas ?

HotFunmi, I think you should stick to men bashing. . .  you make more sense then

I am asking a simple question. Wouldn't it be much mor ebetter to discuss issues like this without any rancour so as to forestall any attempt by anybody that may be on the wrong direction or being led astray by any violent group into thinking that their tribe will be favoured by such things.

Funmi, you are just a lousy thing.
How can you conjure such atrocity up that vile brain of yours

Is it only physical attack on other tribes that matters? I think psychologically, the Yorubas have chased others out of their territories. They don't welcome visitors, their leaders don't regard any other person as human, they will use all means (mostly diabolical and blackmail) to take over positions from others, and once you don't have a Yoruba name in your CV, you won't get emplyment in any organization controlled by them. Go to big cities like Ibadan, and you will count the number of other tribes there with your fingers: Because Yorubas are not accomodating. You think if they have a way of driving every other person from Lagos, they won't do it?

Please make them try am, na them go loose.

All the taxi drivers for Naija were them from??

for goodness sake why should you even think like this? and why should you be arguing about the figment of another man's imagination? i served in yorubaland and i appreciate them. Let Nigeria be one abeg.

My sister, it amazes me how osunamazon can ever bring up a topic like this and associate it with the yorubas.

Xenophobia is not synonymous with the yoruba kind.

lmao!! Only you, David, only you.

David the historian    Why are you bringing up old stuff ?  i thought you were studying science 



4Him, See what you have done now ? 

my sister, me sef i'm yoruba.  Its not good for people to live in denial, every tribe in Nigeria has the tendency to be xenophobic yoruba included.

@ topic:

I don't think that can happen, barring unforeseen circumstances. Yorubas today seem to be more peaceloving than the olden days when they were fighting all kinds of wars among themselves.


Though never say never sha. But its not likely.


They don't do direct confrontation as in mass expulsion and the like but can finish you by other means. The only person I've heard of who was expelled from Ibadan was Bola Ige. My friend told me the Ibadans asked him to leave, and he did so, though I assume he returned later. He was also Yoruba, not some other tribe. The Modakekes (also Yoruba)I think were expelled from their original hometown and resettled in Ife, so the xenophobia problem maybe started from there. Besides, is their fighting aggravated by xenophobia or by politics. I heard they and Ife always take opposing sides on the political scene. Could be a runaround though.

Am not too familiar with Ogun state so I don't know much about the fighting between Aworis and Egbas.

There was a time last year when the lagos state govt tried to repatriate every beggar in the streets of lagos back to their home state, yorubas included and I was like, WTF. Are we no more in one Nigeria.

I don't understand the bashing and denial accompanying this thread. The hostility in south africa came as a a surprise even though there were random killings initially there. Which tribe is more prone to a thing like that in Nigeria?

Presently, the yoruba race boasts of more hoodlums more than any tribe in Nigeria and our so called Yoruba leaders are not doing anything to curb the meance and send these area boys to work, rather they use them to orchestrate their selfish political interests. With a huge number of hoodlums associated with the yoruba race, what makes you think they will not rise one day and expel non yorubas from lagos even though they may not be acting on behalf of the whole yoruba people?

Again, if they succeed in  a thing like that, what makes you think they won't also rise one day and expel non lagos yorubas from lagos? Common, anything is possible in Nigeria.

99 question still

num 95: does lagos belongs to yoruba
answer !!! i think its belongs to NIgeria

num 94 does abuja belongs to malams
answer to nigerians

num 93From what source is the project funded

from tax payers money, coco coal palm oil crude oil

so please for those yeye Yoruba that beleive Lagos its there !! be careful my friend

Osunamazon,

Did you ever ask why the Lagos government tried to send the beggars to their states?

The truth is that they were to be sent to their families who coincidentally resided in their states. The government wanted to rid the streets of beggars and in most cases thieves and kidnappers pretending to be beggars.

There were Yorubas among the beggars and would be repatriated to the states where their families were.

So I advise you vet your claims before making them.

There's no threat of Xenophobia in Lagos. Whether we like it or not, yoruba don't feel threatened by foreigners.

For those saying Yoruba would lose if foreigners were chased away. big lie!

No abadoned business can suffer in Lagos. We are talking about Lagos! Are you going to remove the structures n take it to Kaduna or Aba?

Let Dangote try it and see what happens. I know yoruba guys running Dangote's businesses.

By and large, what yorubas don't tolerate is domination, imposition and  cheating. This applies to other tribes, which is normal.

For me, I wish other regions could also be developed like Lagos, so there would be less pressure on her. We need development in all the regions.

Thank you fore lecturing the nitwit. Only people who are willing to learn ask questions. This one rather just make idiotic threads looking for attention and in the end as always embarrassing herself.
