See your small mindedness? You assume I'm Igbo because I'm arguing in their favour so far.

So Oba of Lagos has reached everywhere on earth and if I don't pay your Yoruba Omo oniles, they will prevent me from building a house...


...yet 'Yorubas are accomodating.'

Congrats to Yorubas.

Smh!

Whatever you are doesn't matter. If you dare, don't pay omo onile when they come calling. If Yoruba's are not accommodating, you won't be in the southwest today.

Abolished? Ha typical Yoruba rewriting. Wetin man no go see from una? Did you even read the article? Your brother was begging for them to get rid of that practice and mind you that article was written in 2009. Knowing Africans, it takes centuries before a popular ritual gets "abolished".

Even the only recorded igbo cannabalism in 21 century had a yoruba sidekick.

Abomination. Only tribe in Nigeria still practicing yet again another backward, primitive ritual. Una backwardness knows no bounds.

Ha ha ha Amazing.

And yet you are still residing in the southwest? Curse be on you then!

Awww he finally resulted to painment. Ewwooooooooo e dey pain you? Heya.
And spare us your superstory, we all know the amount of igbo in other SW states is extremely rare. Like we asked who wants to live in poverty, underdeveloped tout filled land? Dem craze.
Ha I'm guessing you weren't aware there are Igbos currently voted in lagos assembly. We currently don't care about una governorship, none of the contender are igbo so this year obe no concern us. The one wey concern us are already in your assembly ha ha NTO!!!!! This sat ppl are going to vote just cause they wanna test una gra gra, not because they give a f2k. If lagoon no swallow each igbo that votes for JK, Shebi we go know una gra gra is your usual loud mouthing. Anyway, like I said. By the time igbos are done with una, Emir of illorin would be proud we don replicate am. Now you can cry me a river and flood up your lands somemore.

Is that why you ran away from Aba, the city of dirt, awka, and other poverty ridden towns in igboland? I understand. If your iigbolandis worth living in, you will not he here in the southwest. I mean, it is not easy to live in gully erosion and to be landlocked.

If Igbos are not accomodating, Yorubas wouldn't be in the South east today...but they are there.

Again you exhibit small mindedness. How do you know I'm in the South west?

If your yoruba omo oniles who you probably see as all powerful see soldiers at my site, would they come within 100 meters of the place?

@tonytony208,

You are doing a disservice to yourself with these childish abuses you think are a reasonable argument.

Thank God I know many Yorubas who are far more intelligent than you...I could have had the wrong impression of the whole tribe.

I can't count the number of times i have told a Yoruba that i don't stay in the SW. I would only equate it to ignorance whenever they think all igbos are in SW. Take away Lagos and what do they have? Sorry,Lagos was built by the multiculturalism in Nigeria,it's no man's land! Igbos built igbo land,no govt can even take credit for that!

Why is it that all Igbo towns are mostly made up of indigenous Igbos
People will rather go to Calabar, Port Harcourt or Uyo than to stop at Onitsha which is closer.
Is it that Igbos are not friendly or there are not enough opportunities outside buying and selling in these igbo towns and cities.

The Igbos do go to places away from their origin and they do far better than the people in that environment. Why should a Yoruba or an Hausa who can not compete with the Igbos in his state decide to compete with the in their land?
If you know business, you will no that it is not about being friendly but about making it in the land that you are doing what the people are experts at.

You look Igbo.

I guess it depends on the commercial activities. We know that Lagos, Kano, Kadu, Port Harcourt are towns with the most opportunities. Not much activities in the East as such.

Segun Adewole, Igbos do not live in yorubaland. Have you ever seen an Igbo man in muddy Osun forest?. Igbos go to lagos where oil money from eastern states like Imo, Abia, Rivers, Delta was used to develop. Igbos do not live in mud houses. They can't survive in your mud-built yorubaland.
U re a liar, many igbo re labourers in villages in osun, ondo and oyo. My father has nothing less than four of then working on our cocoa plantation in osun state. Ask what some of then re doing in Ore, ondo state. So stop saying what u don't know

You are a bloody liar... their is no type of building Igbos can't stay in as much as they will be able to do their normal business..
I served in a remote area in Kano and believing me you I was surprised to see Igbo as the only other tribe aside the corpers in that place and they live in a very dilapidated mud houses with leaking roof.

Why do we have 100% indigenous Ibos in virtually all the Ngawa-land except sprinkle of non indigenes in Aba?
Why is orlu and Nnewi virtually Ibos
Why is Abakaliki and the surrounding villages a no go area for non Ibos?
Why is udi and Uga 100% indigenous Ibos?
Nobody is going to allow you to derail the thread.

My native attire tailor in Orlu since 1998 till today has remained a Yoruba man. Even his son remains a tailor in Orlu till today.

House builders in Orlu today are mostly Yoruba.

I think Aba has a lot of non-Igbos living in it. I cannot tell the percentage but passing through Aba there are a lot of Northern settlements as well as mosques. A lot of Ijaws, Ibibios, Edo, Delta, Ogoni, Benue/Plateau, Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Malians, Togolese and Beninois live there as well.

Finally the indigenes are actually Ngwa but outnumbered by other Igbos and non-Igbos.

I was shocked yesterday when one Edo woman I was talking to said "Igbo people no be better people na".
Edo people dont like igbo mentality, they believe that igbo are always in to deceive especially when money is at d centre of an issue. They prefer to be fully align with people from their ancestral home(yoruba) than being mistaken for an igbo.

You are a lost soul. Eket is not your land. It is in Niger delta. Igbo land is a landlocked piece of shit in the southeastern part of Nigeria. The place is so gully-eroded and unproductive to the extent that its inhabitants are leaving in droves. The inhabitants are so disgusted with their own land to the extent they are ashamed to accept what nature has wealth them and they start claiming lands belonging to other tribes in southeastern Nigeria.

You see! You just exposed yourself further. Igbo's are not proud of their small, landlocked and gully eroded rand (land). That is why you are even too ashamed to claim your paternal origin but resorted to claiming your maternal origin.
