Yorubas Should Ignore These Hate- Filled Igbos by funmijoyb(f): 9:03pm On Aug 01, 2015 |
THE BITTERNESS AGAINST THE YORUBA In the last 24 months or so a lot of diatribe has been directed against the Yoruba. Unfortunately some Yoruba elements have taken time out to respond to some of the things they thought were untrue or undeserved. They made good reading all of them. The pointless discuss for instance, about whether Zik was greater than Awolowo took much of the space that would have been better used to address pressing issues that have relevance for today. One would have thought that the contributions of Azikwe, Awolowo, and the Sarduana towards our independence are there for all to see and learn from. None of them was an angel but they each meant different things to different people. Anyone who assesses the contributions of these three with an open mind will learn to admire each of them for different reasons. It is a pity that some Yoruba elements thought they should rise to defend Awolowo. That would have been sensible if those attacking Awolowo were misinformed or denied access to the truth. There is no point wasting time responding to hate, deliberate falsehood, or the writings of deluded persons. 1 Like |

A few Igbo in the forums recklessly attack anything Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani and show their uncouth background by even attacking the person of Bianca Ojukwu in such language that should only be used in the gutter. Calling the wife of their Igbo hero a LovePeddler in an open forum, even if it is true, tells the rest of us how much space they deserve in response to their writings. Another has recently posted that Okonjo-Iweala’s 95-year old husband chases anything in skirts in condemning the poor woman’s policy. What her husband’s age or sexual activities has to do with oil subsidy in Nigeria beats me. It only goes to show why the Yoruba in particular should ignore the few Igbo who are just reckless in attacking anything and everything they don’t like or understand. In the interest of the very many Igbos that are trying to proffer honest solutions to the problems of Nigeria these few cranky ones should be ignored. It is they who accuse the Yoruba as being the thieves and looters of Nigeria. It is they who preach that Igbos should buy guns to protect themselves. It is they who threaten to drive Hausa/Fulanis from the East. It is they who want Nigeria to break up now and to resuscitate Biafra. It is they who blame the Yoruba for all the ills and problems of the Igbo in Nigeria including the 200 payment; the starvation of the Igbo; the loss of the Biafra war etc. The list is unending. |

Have these people fathomed why it is the Igbo that are unjustifiably massacred in communities in which Igbos, Yoruba, and others concentrate? Have they examined the possibility that the reckless and unbridled lashing out at other tribes by the few irresponsible Igbos have something to do with it? I personally admire those who feel loyal to their tribe but when it is done at the expense of truth and to the detriment of others in such crude language, I beg to be excused. My appeal here is to the Yoruba. Any other groups can use whatever they find agreeable in it. 2 Likes |

1. Do not rush to respond to professional hate merchants especially when they say the usual falsities against the Yoruba. You too should not be like them – do not hate; just say what you know to be truthful without bitterness if it is compelling that you should respond. 2. We are not perfect and should be able to use every constructive criticism. 3. Read everything they have to say and take out whatever is true and use it to improve the future of the Yoruba race. There is always some iota of sense in even the most senseless and atrocious ranting. 4. As long as we are in Nigeria, whether it is perfect or not, our responsibility should be to find solutions to our problems. In doing so, we should respect the views and sensitivities of other tribes because we have to live with them even in a future in which there is no Nigeria as it is known today. 5. We should go out to revive and strengthen our culture because there is so much in it that can stand us in good stead in the rough and unpredictable future we are heading to. 6. The other tribes in Nigeria have much that we can learn from. We should respect their culture and honestly strive to live in harmony with them. War is a very wicked and needlessly destructive thing and should be avoided like poison. Seek peace; speak peace, live peace, even if others think you are weak. A bellicose, cutlass-wielding, or gun- stockpiling stance is bad for good neighborliness. By doing so you are attracting suspicion and hate to yourself. 7. It is a fundamental tenet of Yoruba culture to protect strangers among us. We should not let that change and should assure Hausas, Igbos, and others among us that the barbarism that was unleashed on strangers in other parts of the country is not part of our culture and that they should feel safe. Communities should have arrangements to ensure the protection of lives and properties of strangers. 8. We should begin NOW to wean ourselves as Yoruba of the oil money that is the curse of Nigeria. It should dry up in perhaps 30 years so we need to make a 20-year de-oiling plan during which we should be able to fund our states without recourse to the oil money that some states are claiming, rightly or wrongly, as their sole property. We should remember that once upon a time, cocoa and groundnuts funded most of the development of Nigeria. We should begin planning for that NOW . We can do it. 9. Let us not compete with any tribe or group in Nigeria. If we must look for bench-marks, please let us look up to countries like South Africa, Malaysia, China, or Germany. Our institutions should target international standards. 10. We must be harsh and honest in assessing ourselves as Yoruba people. One of our strengths is, in our parlance, ‘lying down and not facing the same way’. We believe in diversity. 2 Likes |

Honest disagreements and the freedom to choose what individuals believe has led to a Rev. Ransome-Kuti being a chieftain of the AG political party while his wife Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a chieftain in the NCNC party. Many multi-religious Yoruba families share the same family compound and live in harmony all their lives. Let them laugh at us but following our conviction is our great asset. We rejected Obasanjo, our own, because we did not see why we should embrace him. We accepted Abiola a Muslim who chose another Muslim as a running mate. We had an Awolowo and at the same time embraced in part an Akintola. That is a strength. It is important to keep in focus that those bringing the Igbos into disrepute are a minority. It is not therefore right to group all Igbos into the category of those who are reckless. What the majority can do is to appeal to them as I am doing to the few Yoruba who trade insult and abuse with their Igbo type on the net. I think enough is enough of this nonsense of trading insults and wasting time on the incorrigible hate mongers of Igbo extraction. |
