Almost on daily basis Igbos and Yorubas must clash on NairaLand as if that is what some people wake up each day to do. Truth be told, whether you are fighting because on some harsh comments meted on your late leaders (I dont want to mention names) or just because some say something sensitive about your tribe does not necessarily warrant such level hatred and tribal attacks.

We all need each other to see life through.... Why not pray for each other.


Fact: If it is well with one region in Nigeria, it will definitely rub off on other regions.

Lets preach love. I AM NOT AN IGBO, YORUBA OR HAUSA... I AM A NIGERIAN.

I understand your feelings. But instead of seeing the bad, have you taken time too see the good in these group of people?

My brother, nothing o, we are brothers and sisters from different mothers but the same father. Sometimes we fight for superiority but the fight doesn't go to the bone. What happens between an Igbo and a Yoruba can still happen between an Igbo and a fellow Igbo. So it is not a tribe matter as we always make it look like, just occasional misunderstandings. After all the yabbings here, my best friend still remains Tayo. Same applies to most of us here.

The ibos hatred for the yorubas has been since the creation of Nigeria. Despite the graciousness the yorubas have shown the ibos, the ibos still hate them. Nowhere in Nigeria have the ibos enjoyed political, economic and social benefit than in yorubaland, yet the ibos still hate them.

Even if it has been like that, a little effort from you can make a difference. You can be the difference we need in Nigeria. God bless you.

I grew up with Igbo people and loved them.........thirty years on I hate them with a passion and I will make sure they are driven out of Yoruba land. That is my objective and life goal. This is what happens anywhere there is mass migration. Their continued obsession with our land is an unmitigated threat that must be crushed, I mean CRUSHED!!!! before things get out of hands.

And how do you hope to achieve this?
See it this way, do you think your objectives is justified when you have people of your tribe living in other people's state, country and land?

I've come to realise that for many years the vast majority of Yoruba never thought they were in competition with the Igbo, they just went about their business , few skirmishes here and there but no intent or agenda on the Igbo matter.


The Igbo I don't think same, a good amount had some scorn for the Yoruba "traitors" , it was they who were burnt by the fires of the civil war, it can be expected for the looser to feel in such a way. Lately thou the Igbo have awoken the Yoruba vs Igbo contest with a constant bickering, use of threat, false propaganda and the PDP brand of ethnic politics made visible under GEJ.

You see the result in a usually more calm indifferent Yoruba being more hostile and suspicious, and even an Oba saying what should otherwise remain unspoken.

Its pathetic that we don't see ourselves as one in this country. The hate is too much, a Yoruba man thinks he is better than the Igbo man, and the Igbo man doesn't give a damn about what happens to his Yoruba neighbor. This is just not acceptable, no matter what, let's think the country first. Our diversity is our strength. The government also needs to carry everyone along so that no ethnic group will feel marginalized.

what else do you want the yorubas to do? The more love we show them, the more they intensify their hatred towards us.

Must we repeat the mistakes made in the past? The catalyst for unprecedented growth is peaceful co-existence. And peaceful co-existence can only be when there is love. Lets no see see love as an option, but as the only way.

Very true, unfortunately we wasted the SNC opportunity , it was poorly composed, GEJ felt to balance the loopsided North/south question it was best to cheat the North. You can't fix a problem with a flawed solution.

We spent too much money on the SNC and I don't advise to implement all the resolutions, at best some. I doubt the APC have the finances or sincere interest in honouring recommendation of the SNC
