Ileke-IdI:

Wow' that was harsh. Maybe they had a personal problem or have encountered an Igbo that ended up doing them bad.
I doubt Yorubas hate Igbos o. They usually admit that you guys are "hardworking" etc.

EzeUche22:

Yoruba men do not know how to treat their women.

Do not make good husbands. How many Yoruba women have I see being mistreated by their Yoruba husbands. Yoruba husbands do not give a dammn about the sanctity of marriage.

They cheat on their women and are not loyal.

I am a firm believer if you get married, you should be entirely faithful to your spouse.

EzeUche22:

I despise Yoruba men with Igbo women.

Yoruba families are so dammn tribalistic when it comes to those type of marriages. I'll rather see an Igbo woman with an Oyimbo man than with some Yoruba man.

I also speak from experience with the Yoruba women I have dated. Yoruba mothers can be so cruel. I remember Yoruba woman told her daughter she would disown her if she ever did anything with me.

Ileke-IdI:



Exactly. I fear, seriously. I wont take such from any "were" who wants to humiliate and disrespect me by bringing home a hooligan he impregnated.

tpiah:

as far as I know, voodoo is everywhere, not only in yorubaland.

so not marrying yoruba doesnt protect anyone from voodoo.

Aloy+Emeka:

Sorry homeboy that you can't do nada about it. Several Igbo families do the same too when they see their son or daughter messing romantically  with Yorubas. May be you need to tell us why many Igbos believe that every Yoruba person is diabolic and can poison you on contact. I have also noticed that Igbos who live in Igbo land are surprisingly less tribalistic than Igbos who live with other tribes in non Igbo land. The ones who live in Igboland just don't care about any tribe and they rarely speak ill of other tribes.

Aloy+Emeka:

Ijebu Ode is the capital of juju and witchcraft in Africa and would have been the world capital save for Haiti. Also, jujuism is engraved in Yoruba culture and that is why it proliferates more in Yoruba land. Check the number of spiritualists, pastors, babalawos, etc churned out from Yorubaland yearly and compare with other tribes.
It is very normal to find a 20 yr old Hausa/ Igbo/Ijaw/Efik, etc boy or girl who has no clue of juju or how it works but it will be very rare to find such in Yorubaland.

It is very rare to find Igbo/Ijaw/Hausa/Ibibio etc women who give their married daughters juju to plant in their husbands home even when there is no cause for alarm but that behavior is not rare in Yorubaland. More likely than not, a Yoruba wife will receive juju  no matter how harmless from her mother for further protection even if she lives in UK, US or New Zealand.

Onlytruth:

lol. @ Alloy

The bolded can be very easily explained.

Igbos are NOT intrinsically tribalistic. Most of the time, we are reactive of tribalism. We don't initiate it, but are likely to reciprocate.

The Igbos in Igboland don't witness tribalism on a daily basis from other Nigerians, because those Nigerians can't do that in Igboland. Now, cross over to their own side and those same Nigerians become tribal monsters.

Let me throw in this rough prognosis: A Yoruba extended family is more likely to diabolically kill an Igbo women married to a Yoruba man, than an Igbo family killing a Yoruba woman same way. That is why it is safer for an Igbo man to marry a Yoruba woman than the other way round. Much of the reason lies in the extended family (wives, babymamas, etc) role in the issue.

An Igbo man will likely marry only one wife, and so, even if the family hates her, they would eventually get used to accepting the inevitable and resigning their fates with her. You can't kill a man's only wife.

Now, if he has more than one, well, anything can happen, even in Igboland too.

Ileke-IdI:

Are you for real? Are you trying to say Ezeuche is reacting to something? Dude wakes up to eat and breath an imaginative enemy. If he sees none, he must create one.

You know, I can also come out and claim that Yoruba ppl are only reactive of tribalism. Hypothetically, there's been more anti-tribalism Yorubas on politics than any other tribe. . . .but after a while of being thrashed they change and become tribalistic themselves.

EzeUche22:

Must you always bring up my name?   You live and breathe my name. Don't use that famous Yoruba juju on me! I hear Ekiti juju is strong o!

I didn't become a tribalist to Yorubas until I encountered many of you all in the U.S. I am not talking about the Yorubas who were raised in the West, I am talking about Yorubas who were raised in Naija. Remember the only groups that I encountered when I was younger were Ibibios, Igbos, Ogoni and Ijaws. Yorubas changed my view. I actually had a very favorable view of your people.

And for your second statement, that is very FUNNY.

Check nairaland threads from when it started in 2005 to 2007 and tell how what you said above is the truth.

Ileke-IdI:

Quit changing your story, lil boy. And stop flattering yourself, it's not cute.

A while ago, you said that na only NL you display your tribalism, that you dont do it offline. And something about having Yoruba friends. . . . that you guys just joke.

Anywaz, nice way to say Yoruba did ths and that when you know we cant prove you wrong. People just make stories up as they go along.

EzeUche22:

Who do you think you are talking to like that? I will not tolerate such nonsense from you.

EzeUche22:

Who do you think you are talking to like that? I will not tolerate such nonsense from you.

You see I clearly made the distinction, between Yorubas raised in the states and Yorubas raised in Naija. A big difference. Most of Yoruba friends were raised in the U.S. so they are not tainted with the Igbo hatred that pulses through many Yorubas raised in Naija veins.

I keep on telling you that people in the East do not give a dammn about the Yoruba. Since you are rarely travel outside of your region, it is pretty rare to see a Yoruba in the East in large numbers.

EzeUche22:

Are you not a person who said you could NEVER marry an Igbo man? I clearly said I could marry a Yoruba woman.

Ileke-IdI:

Wait, lemme take a minute to laugh at this

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAAAA AHAHAHAHHA!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Thanks for the laughs dear
LMAO!!!! Oh slugger, you're really cute when you try to be serious. ahahah

I said I couldnt marry a Non-Yoruba man, which includes Igbo men duh.

I'm not into that inter-tribal thing. Doesnt make me a tribalist, just my preference. Just like YOU dont want to marry a Fat chik.

Onlytruth:

lol. Spot on.

A carmel will have to pass through the eye of a needle before someone like myself dreams of marrying outside Igboland. Just my preference. How can I spend a whole day without speaking Igbo? Strange stuff.

It doesnt have to be strange, if youhave $14k, there's this chick platinumk on NL. She'll do you well

For someone with an Igbo name, You watch Yoruba movies too much

Ileke-IdI:

I dnt believe I was in politics in that period.

But since '09, Yorubas have become reactive to anti-yoruba campaign. You dont see the likes of Aigbofa and Katsumoto creating tribalistic threads. They just react to what they deem untruth and fabricated lies by other tribes.

tpiah:


juju is widespread across nigeria, but its only yoruba's own that gets broadcast.

as per women giving their daughters juju, well, that depends on the type of family the daughter is from. Someone raised in a juju setting will definitely depend on juju no matter what.

btw the world capital of juju is benin republic.






you wish.

ask any Nigerian anywhere on the street- even a two year old- they will tell you something about juju.  

I'm not saying juju isn't rampant in yorubaland but to say nobody elsewhere knows what it is, is simply false.

Haa, I know those places. Ibi si awon family re igbe? Emi wa ni ilu queen? Se o ni Iranse yahoo ? LOL ma sign in ,ko buzz mi ,so that we can talk better.

Ileke idi and Ezeuche

You guys used to be cool before this. If not that Ileke isn't yet convinced of how cool Igbo men are, i'll would have suggested that Ezeuche turns up his flirting skills. He will really teach you a lot you dont know about Igbo land. But first, you guys must stop fighting so we can find a foundation where things will can kick off from.

Ileke-IdI:

Ah, I dont o. I dont have YIM sha, I try not to get my convos off of NL.
Lol I no fit tell you where my family live nau, you know online na dangerous place.

Ok,no problem.

Ileke-IdI:

Actually, I'm getting "toasted" by an Igbo men [off NL, or atleast he's "trying"] now, so being convinced is out of the question. I still say SOME Yoruba men have that spice and swagga that makes them diff from any men. I wouldnt trade that for anything. But I can drop them like its hot if they start misbehaving.

excanny:

Nah nah nah. I dont believe you. Be specific with proofs of such swagga and I'll give you scores of Igbo men wey such swagga dey over worry. Igbo men just have a different kind of swagga. You only need to do one thing- find out.
