No offense, I don't dislike Yoruba's but I just know the tribe is wicked. As for women, I don't have tolerance for females and nigerians to be precise. It's been over 20 years and it just remains like that. I'm older now but it doesn't change my nature. There are times girls in general disgust me and there are times they mean nothing to me. Sometimes, they have no clue when they run their wiles. I am not gay [to make things clear]. Everyone's cool to me as long as you don't decide to doublecross by running foul.

I personally would have a hard time trusting a Nigerian period. Not just a yoruba person. It is not a Yoruba problem but a Nigerian problem. Just because most of my dealings with them "run foul" as Ivvies stated. They are not usually upfront in their dealings with you and you have to go through so much trouble to get to the bottom of things. It is really tiring. |

Hehehe. . . . .whenever I read things like this, honestly I laugh. I have had several unsavoury encounters with some Igbo people, do I now conclude that every Igbo person from Asaba, to Onitsha, Nnobi, Nnewi, Owerri, Orlu, Enugu, Nsukka, Uzuakoli, Aba to Abiriba and Umuahia is bad? Should I say their entire ethnic group is bad? Was it their ethnic group that hurt me? I have had several unpleasant encounters with some Edo people, do I now conclude that Edo people in general from Benin, to Irrua, Ekpoma, Sabongida-Ora, Akoko-Edo, Uromi, Agenebode, etc. are all bad??  Should I say their entire ethnic group should not be trusted? Was it their ethnic group that upset me? I have also had many distasteful encounters with some Yoruba people, so should I now argue that all Yoruba people from Lagos, to Epe, Abeokuta, Akure, Gbogan, Ife, Itawure, Ondo, Ijebu, Ilesa, Ekiti, Owo etc. are all bad?? Should I say their entire ethnic group is evil? Was it their ethnic group that commited the offence? Same goes for Hausa, Efik, Nupe, Jukun, Itsekiri, Bachama etc. Are you saying that people have the liberty to ' generalise' and cast aspersions on an entire ethnic group, in the name of freedom of speech? If someone has been hurt by an act, and that act was commited by an individual from a different ethnic group, was it every person from that ethnic group - (e.g Yoruba, Kalabari, Itsekiri, Igbo, Tiv, Fulani, Kanuri, Kataf etc.) that committed the act? Na wa o!!  And tomorow we will say we want Nigeria to make progress, and be united. Hehehehe. . . . .let everyone keep deceiving themselves. As if in their own village, na every body be saint! Me sef, my own views should be respected no matter how daft. . . . . . .because my own experience is unique. No be so?  |

. . . . .oh, by the way, thanks for letting us know you are gay. And that you dropped from a different planet. Last time I checked, all men were given birth to, by women. That's why a lot of men I know, have some respect or affection for women. Erm. . . . .I guess your own case is different, sha. That's why you hate them so much. Keep up the. . . um. .

Laudate,
Interesting, funny how people are just caught off-guard and easily sized-up. Your response is exactly as my qualms are. You just made no exception and responded stereotypically.
You just demontrated how civil you (yoruba's, if you fall in that categ.) are in your own praved manner (talking about being civil to whom one doesn't know).
I have better things to do with my time than to be enticed by your homosexual advances; unlike you, I'm not queer. If you are yet to meet a man that don't like women, then you just met one.
This is a Racism, Tribalsm thread and I can state my opinion. I don't like girls and it's been like that all my life. If you can't deal with it, then mind your business. You don't have to respond to anything that you don't approve of.
I guess it's alright to negate against the Hausa's and also their adoption of their religious and conservative laws and then oppose the fellow that has something personal against Yoruba's. Take the forest out of your own eyes before you see the speck in your neighbours'.
You are looking for an argument and from reality, I wont argue with a fool because it's a no-win situation since the fool tends to get the upper hand due to experience.
I will have nothing to do with you and say nothing to you for the rest of this thread and furthermore. This conversation between us is over and let it marinate like that. Anyother post with respect to me is as restricting the wind.

You just goofed, big time!! Hahahaha. . . . Am not Yoruba, so stop belly-aching. As for being civil. . . .where was I uncivil to you? Because I said you were gay? You just told us you 'hated' women. . . .so what other conclusion should we draw from that statement? And what on earth gives you the idea that I'm homosexual? Are you sure you are not confusing me with someone else? Hehehe. . . .look o, I love the opposite sex. Unlike you! By the way, no one is enticing you with any homosexual advances. . . .unless you are just sharing your secret fantasy with us on this thread. As for responding in a 'stereotyped' manner, why. . . .you have a Ph.D in it. Isn't that obvious?? Sheesh! Take a look at all your comments on this thread. And show us one that isn't dripping with 'stereotype'. You on the other hand, are the one making 'depraved' remarks by calling someone you do not know - a fool. Let me assume your vocabulary is limited, and you cannot express yourself properly. That is why you had to reach for that word. One word of advice - go back to school. Its never too late. One last word: I have not negated against the Hausas in any shape or form. If you feel I have, kindly point me to the post where I made such a statement. So try to get your facts straight, before making any rejoinder. It helps to show that you actually thought long and hard, before putting your fingers to the keyboard. Only folks that have nothing valuable to contribute, resort to insults. Think about it. Happy marinating!!  |

I do have limited respect girls and show no contempt towards yoruba's but won't change the way I think about them. I'd make friends but will not differ my irritance when they go overboard. I get irritated easily and you'll never know what's on my mind 'cause I don't talk a lot and hardly smile. My disdain to Yoruba's is so bad that I put it aside and don't talk about it. People bear witness with what I harbour because they are true but the society shuns from it. No tribe is innocent but a tribe that can sell it's own people or mercilessly wipe their own and see nothing wrong is worth having your back covered. |

But a time comes in life when you do not allow such negative feelings to weigh you down. It is obvious that you are not a happy person generally speaking since you hardly smile and you do not discuss your feelings much. It is a sad way to live. Your experiences are unuque and I cannot question them. All I am saying is that at some point- you will have to let go of all that hate. You do not have to like girls if you find them irritating. Just stick to people and things that make you happy. Learn to make yourself happy so you do not die and old unhappy man with bitterness on your taste buds. It is the Holiday Season--Please find some love. Yes, stuff happened just like the holocaust and slavery, but we have to find ways to get around them so we can get along better and forgive the past. Such a burden is too heavy for you to carry by yourself. A lot of yoruba people are nice. Too bad you have not met them. A whole tribe does not have to pay for the sins of a few. Don't you think? Please let it go and learn to love people on an individual basis. Your hurt will lessen as soon as you start letting go. Life is too short. Make some "yoruba girlfriends"! I am assuming you are male--this is Nairaland--you can't be too sure at any given point in time. Warmests regards, A.J. |

@Almond I'm not hurting and I am happy - just have other things on my mind. I have no yoruba female friends (only those that I made 8 years ago). My Mom charged me to give them respect 'cause it's all they deserve and I have stuck to that but when they cross that line, it's something else 'cause they loose their honour. I'm very much normal. Keep in mind that I am just being stereotypic and doesn't reflect every single person but the vast majority. Some things are just bitter and better neglected, thus moving on. |

I did say that I wanted nothing to do with you - I'll void that for this sake. I have lots of enemies that my mind can count. Enemies before I was born! I also have foes that are yet to be known. I simply can't trust anyone. People disliking me from just knowing me. YOU WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I have no grudge against you neither did I and I terminated my discussion with you to void you from incurring wrath. The only advice I'll give to you is to be careful when dealing with me. I won't fight you nor raise a word against you but you will be dealt with abd there will be no resolution because there is no OTHER higher to the ONE that will deal with you. The only thing I will do is probably intercede and I wouldn't. Nobody has escaped it in the past, you will not be an exception. I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am. The curse that is causeless shall not land. You have started something that you will not be able to go through. Men are entitled to choices and not insults after a conclusion is settled. I have the right to speak my opinion in the right forum and in the right post. If you don't like it, go to another forum.
To those that would want to start a brawl, they are welcome to do so. They better also have the guts to go through the entire episode. Some people will take and tolerate insults and cusses, I won't! I will take it to the next plane and that is where authority supercedes all other authority. It's no threat! Life isn't grey but black and white - an evidence that power will definitely change hands.
To make a summary, the above isn't English but discerning.
I just believe it's fair to let you know before I escalate your issue because I promise, you wouldn't be an exception.
Peace

God knows that I have a genuine reason for my conclusion. I am not a social person and I barely talk to people but I won't discriminate if I have reason to have something to do with whom.' He might think I am joking or speaking with empty words to the response I made but I can only assure that the matter at this point is no longer in my hands. I can't stand people that are insultive in their ways. Peace |

Can you see here that you are an imbecile? Just above this comment you were going on about how you cant "stand insulting people" yet here you are making nasty remarks about the Yoruba tribe. A tribe that MADE Nairaland. Why the hell are you here and not on BiafraLand.com anyway? Oloshi. as for devouring their own, ROFL, Let's not even get into whose stereotype that is. |

It doesn't matter what you say or how you respond to it. The truth will remain the truth no matter how one receives or acknowledge it. I'm not bothered about your opinion but what the truth is. There is no hate in what I said. I don't know about any other tribe but what I've stated falls in line with the New Testament. It isn't limited to the yoruba tribe but the scripture reference to the way of life stated. It's prevalent everywhere but never seen it as bad as the yoruba practice.

Hmmm! i think its everywhere though. "destroyin and devourin their own" its not just limited 2 d yoruba(s) its just more about not havin d love of God in one's life. Dats when u c people huntin 4 one's downfall. probably u would say yoruba(s) present theirs more openly than other tribes who does d same but hide it which to my opinion is worst cos u wont know dat u r being killed by d person u call your own |
