Ijebus are not stingy; they just save agressively throughout the year and lavish it on 'owanbe' party at the end of the year!

ive always heard ma mum sayin ijebu people r veri stingy and that they're always veri evil.unfortunately ive found this 2 be true of most of the ones hve met or maybe its jus me not willin to give them a chance because of prejudice.However ma 3 best friends are ijebu and i find them to be d most generous people ive met so far.

I'm Ijebu and I not quite sure what to say. I used to think Ijebus were misunderstood but I think I'm wrong. I was unfortunate enough to school in Ijebu land for 4 years and all i can say is that the indegenes are wicked, they don accommodate 'foreigners'. they also seem to love money. However Ijebus that were lucky not to grow up among their kind end up very OK.

hmmm very very funny thread am an original ijebu boi am from ketu epe if anybody knows that place as for the stinginess issue it waz what how fore fathers did that peeps are now downing on us all wht actually happen is that an average ijebu man no matter haw much he gets he will still go back home he prefers to die in ijebu dan anywhere,and hw forefathers don't like going out of ijebu and basically in ijebu we will use 5onaira to eat lavishly and count ourself a very rich boi so on gettin to lagos we realise that d 50 card is just starting how on earth wont we be kind of stingy we will think they want to use how head but because we are very sharp u can never evr dupe and ijebu guy u need to plan your strategy well to do that but from my own way everyone is stingy when u don't have money but when u are on cash beleive me u are not is mike adenuga stingy guys we are not stingy period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My people, na wao. This is 2007 and we still dey fight over this kind nonsense. Say one tribe dey bad and another tribe dey better. When we go learn to forget all these petty and minor ethnic kwata and learn to live life harmoniously as one naija. True talk!

The thread is not about fight, infact the starter is also Ijebu.
Back to the question.

Baba mi prime example, awon aburo mi fo pe mo take after dad mi but mo fo mi nahun, mo ni accountability and industriousness.

Ehn? Which one is 'Ijebu-Sagamu' again? Where is it located? Is it close to Ijebu-Ife, or Ijebu-Ode or Ijebu-Igbo or Ijebu-Mushin? Sagamu is Sagamu, I beg. I stand to be corrected, but I've never heard of Ijebu-Sagamu. |

Citing only the Ijebus as being stingy from the Yoruba race is quite unfair. If STINGY is the same as 'keeping all to oneself', then I think the word is applicable to the entire race.

Do you have any Ijebu friends?? Ask them what they think. And your last comment is quite cryptic. How is the word 'stingy' applicable to the entire race? Pray, do tell. We are all ears! |

nana sagamu is also known as ijebu- remo,
am ijebu man and proud of it because the ijebus are PRUDENT with their money and not stingy and well organised among the yoruba people because the tribe feel inferior when they see any ijebu man.

Which tribe feels inferior? Don't kid yourself, jare! Ijebu people are NOT generous. Do you want statistics? |

To be candid, it might sound so much of a stereotype but 90% of Ijebu people I've met are extremely stingy people. they wouldn't joke with a penny. I don't mean to be insulting, but a bit lousy as well. I had loads of them around me where i used to live and it wasn't palatable, because they only ask and not give

a wise man once said that every house in africa can be a country
no need for all the division every person and tribe has good and bad points.ijebu may be stingy but by saving money and doing business,they create jobs which is even like a higher form of generousity
