I quite agree with you, but why must you lot have to cross Niger bridge to Lagos and Sw to make it in life…..even the trend of migration shows y’all would have died of hunger if not for the accommodating spirit of Yorubas

God bless you jare. If not for Yoruba, I wonder wetin for happen to all of them.

nonsense.. There are thousands of igbos making their millions in the east. Your people hide in their holes and think the world revolve around them alone. Travel out and learn and get sense

Bulldozer90:
Lol

as an elder I think you are wrong on several points,first,it is not a must or part of traditional rite to drink,eat and play music in Igbo funerals,infact many communities has banned such,the major most important part of funerals in Igbo land that is most critical is the offering of goat to the extended family or kindred,they will kill the goat and eat it and it symbolizes a very important and critical part of a funeral ceremony,it means the complete severance of the deceased with the living,nobody will force you to feed or give them drinks in an Igbo burial ceremony but that goat is a must,,if you like you can give bottled water nobody will task you and also about the stress the igbos pass through,you must know that the whole of southeast can fit into one Yoruba state,that lack of resources and space made it essential that we must adapt to survive which means more hustling

Igbos and Yorubas should never have been in the same country together, it was a disastrous mistake by the British. It had created a situation where both tribes will be politically fighting each forever

But God will be merciful one day and divide both tribes into different countries of their own, there will be nothing to fight about any more, and everyone can finally rest from this disastrous British colonial contraption called Nigeria

Why do you think Nigerians are different and envied by other Africans? Nigerians won't be Nigerians if it weren't for the rich mix of peoples and cultures. Nigeria and Nigerians would have been boring like others!

Well you have studied their similarity and difference l commend your knowledge to this traditional and ethical beliefs without being bias . Some riders or critics are just cant understand you because of bigotry views they possess, abuse the other tribes because of egoism but lack facts to show.Many are just educated illiterates who can never understand issues without sentiment. Bias thinkers is judgemental .A good observer deserves applaud not castigation

idiat, Yorubas don’t travel to a less progressive cursed and barren region..go to the Uk and other advanced nation and see where progressive Yorubas in their numbers and not a deserted zone where their own people is running away from like a people being chased by a demon😂 for your information, I served in owerri and their is no commercial activities going on there except hotels and olosho business your ladies are neck deep in. You run to Lagos and Sw for survival😂😂

listen I don't think anybody hates tinubu ...people reserved the right to like or dislike. But the issue here is he should do his job and his major job is to ensure he does everything possible to enable people puts food on the table confidently and without excess stress and provide them with security .

I for one don't think that's bad...but not doing the aforementioned there is nothing that you will say that will make people to like you.

I always tell people if you take someone from his food filled one room apartment and puts him in a duplex, mansion or castle without food it's only a mater of time he will dislike you, insult you and go back to his one room .

Your father toiled for six years and he was not able to provide you with anything and you expect another man to provide all your needs under one year.

Your view is likened to a cesspit. Takes enough shit and emit terrible odour.

Go and sit down

One thing I love about traveling is this culture shock, it gives me a good feeling. Also makes me appreciate the cultural part of my root.

All these tribal animosity in Nigeria goes beyond Nigeria..it's all over the world. Same way Yorubas don't like ibo is the same way Scots don't like English,India vs Pakistan,Armenia vs Azerbaijan,Serbia vs Kosovo, china vs Taiwan, Russia

Armaggedon:
They take life easy by using their people's body parts for ritual but when an Igbo man prospers more than them they begin to envy him.

They show off the most by doing owambe at any slightest meeting but when an Igbo sprays money, they are thrown into mass envy, questioning his wealth and tagging EFCC again him.

The most ethnic minded people I've come across, yet they do not love one another. The fiercest celebrity rivalry and spat usually happen amongst them.

The biggest farmers of hate and injustice. Whoever is unpopular among his people becomes their closest ally and whoever is born among them learns to hate his people until he grows up to meet his people and learns the truth.

On a beautiful thread like this? Nawao

What I learnt from Yoruba land




https://punchng.com/what-i-learnt-from-yoruba-land/

Your head dey there. This is why it's good to travel. Traditions defer and there's no need to condemn one for the other.

There are many things I can learn from the Igbo, Itsekiris, Ijaw, Efik , Hausa and even ( yes!) Fulani culture.

Pls, let's stop insulting and killing ourselves. We can be great individually and agree in some ways. Let's be better.

Afamsi:

yea I know the truth hurts….but you need to hear it and always be reminded of your place, even if it’s hurt your bitter soul. Yorubas are progressive people and we are in no d!ck measuring competition with you lot Because there is nothing to compete with us with…. Still the most economically viable region and you won’t expect us to leave that for a cursed and deserted barren region😂

Godfullsam:



Pls always remember the bold. It will help you guys to conduct yourselves sensibly in subsequent general elections to avoid a repeat of the same scenarios

Also tell some of your brother's to stop looking like the Igbos so you don't kpai them in the process

Please stop re-writing history to your ethnicity propaganda. The BRITISH did their best by demarcating the amalgamation into regional sects so that each individual region can operate independently. The constitution our collective forebears came to accept at independence, with their assistance and after due consultation of all available regions gave each individual region options of secession （if need be in future）. THAT WAS UNTIL ONE VSELESS AND GODF0RSAKEN IGBO CREW ASSUMED POWER BY CROOK TO DISRUPT AND DESTROY THE SYSTEM. STVPID IRONSI WAS THE CULPRIT WHO MASTERMINDED OUR IRREVERTIBLE UNION, CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION. Others only play along. Now they're suffering for it and are calling out everyone else for the faults of their forebears. Even faraway Brits are not being spared. Never seen a tribe so confused or silly.

Forget the tribalistic animals online here.
Yoruba people are very lovely people if you are close to them, and they are very much appreciative of anything you do for them, even if it's little like dashing money.
When I was in Paiko Orientation Camp, Niger state in 2022 for my Youth Service,I met and intermingled with many Yoruba Corpers, and they were fun to be with.
A Yoruba girl whom I dashed a thousand naira note to help sort her photograph bill,was so appreciative and kept thanking me profusely.
Till date, after our Service,we are still very close and communicating often.
Likewise the guys whom I interacted with and happened to be in the same Platoon 10 with me.
In my PPA in Agaie LGA,I equally met wonderful SW brethren.
Can't forget Wakilat and Adenike.The first is Muslim and the latter Christian.

Yoruba no be una mate na we get respect for our blood ...

They're not even intelligent enough to note how dullardly their arguments that "Yorubas dont travel" sound.

The most progressive and opportuned nations in the world, the true test-beds of progressive economic migration, Yorubas are there dominating Igbos in the loftiest professions. This proves, correctly, we are intelligent and selective traveller unlike desperado and shameless "developers".

How many British footballers do you see leaving the English Premier league when they already play in the richest, most universally glamorous, most syndicated, most followed, most watched and most sponsored football league on Earth?

Yet foreign players yapa for the English Premier league to make better pay and have better lifestyle. That is how Yorubas are in Nigeria explaining why the SW is full of economic migrants from all across Nigeria while Yorubas mainly remain in their region which is the best by far in Nigeria.

Logically, sophisticated and well-educated Yorubas, never as desperate as the money-obsessed IPOB folks, are not going hustling in Abia or Somalia anytime soon when Canada, UK, USA etal remain better and attainable economic migration destination.

The IPOB lot just lack the intellect and emotional maturity to note folks are laughing at their blind defence of their desperado and vagabond lifestyles that even leaves them dragging market stalls with Ghanaians in Ghana.

What makes them even more foolish is the desperation to shade yorubas as flawed because we know our worth and have pride in ourselves to not be interested in scavenging in Mali, Ebonyi, Zamfara, Zimbabwe etal as the shameless IPOB lot are ever ready to do.

The Yoruba tags the death of a young person (a 65 years below) particularly those whose parents are still very much alive and young as "oku ofo". Nobody feasts in such funeral. Everyone just commiserates with the bereaved, offers physical, emotional and financial assistance where necessary and leaves. No even water is expected to be served or demanded.

Looolx! When u check the post n the op's mind, u will understand the rubbish act of hate n tribalism in u,u are worst than the discription u gave the yorubas. May God help u with that ur hatefilled heart.

Goodlyhrt:
Don't you think that the "OVER" activity of the Igbo group as you said is more beneficial economically?

By this, all the economic sectors are always busy with one activity or the other all year round.

And you are wrong that the Igbos don't go on vacations. As the Xmas period is widely known in Nigeria as the Igbo holiday period where they troupe home en mass to celebrate the yule with family.

A better article should have highlighted the different cultural idealogies of the two groups to somehow make the reader understand and appreciate the two cultures not to advice a particular group to discard their harmless way of life.

Poor article

But the guy didn't tell igbos to discard their ways fir the Yoruba own. He simply shared his experiences and infact wrote that no culture is superior to another and people should learn what they consider admirable from others. If you have objection, you could have simply wrote your own article rather than bashing his.

Please stop talking nonsense. It doesn't matter how you demarcate people, wether Region's, States, Provinces, Local governments if those people are in one country, they are in one country!

The point is that the British should not have have brought Igbos and Yorubas together in one country in very first place. They should have been in two different countries from the very start

As soon as the British left in 1960, both tribes have been fighting politically to this day, and will fight forever

It is people who are similar in ideology, thinking and value system that should be coming together to form countries, not people who are vastly different, such as Igbos and Yorubas

The mistake has been made. However, God will be merciful and divide Yorubas and Igbos into different countries in the future

Igbos and Yorubas have no business being together in one country

Is it Azuka that just showed madness right here or Antivirus92(you)?
You lack home training and that is the reason why you have no respect for your elders....people like you disgrace the good people among you guys.
Mad man.

Antivirus92:
rubbish, Azuka can choose to copy or behave anyhow he likes but should leave igbo out of his madness.

Culture varies, orientation varies. What works for Yorubas may not work for the igbos and vice versa. Trying to promote one above the other is rubbish. Many Igbo business men will spit on you if u tell them to come and sit down idly drinking beers and gossiping. It's not in their nature and it's working for them. Azuka should shove his ideas down his as.s
