sarutobie:

this doesn't even make sense, how can one prefer hard drugs to alcohol? how can a fermented grape juice ( also called wine) be more disgusting than nicotine? I don't get it..which is more natural of the two? oh well, to each his own.

he is very right...served with som of these people,the hardly take beer,but they weed a lot,take hard drugs and do shisha.....

And before some idiots come to say they are cowards. Remember that before we became one Nigeria, yorubas have fought so many wars within themselves. War is never the answer to any question. Nothing as worthy as dialogue, diplomacy and respect of boundaries.

LMAO...which group in Nigeria has never experienced internal strife. is dat what should serve as a indication of bravery

How you respond in the face of aggression or attacks be it violence or civil disbodience is the criteria. Cowards perpetually hide under d toga of dialogue and diplomacy even when they are redundant.

maximunimpact:
not so convinced on the religious angle, almost all top churches are founded by yoruba Christians.......

Don't be deceived. Even those pastors will attend family functions of their muslim relatives.

Updated for 2016 - Ijebulogic :
"The saving grace in Nigeria's political split is the Yoruba. The tribe serves as a kind of political buffer, noisy but not explosive. As much as they relish escalating an inconsequential disagreement into a full-blown screaming match, the Yoruba are not stupid enough to die for man-made selfish political objectives. They were a most reluctant participant in the Biafra war - they managed to keep their economy buoyant whilst the more explosive tribes battled in vain to serve a few individuals misguided ambitions. Yorubas enjoy their beer, fine wine, cognac and champagne. Their motto which has guided their success in diplomacy, academia, politics and economics is...."Kini Big Deal"?

Threatening him cos you are a mod. Nigerians cannot take criticism. Small power they go haywire, cant you argue with him normal. Sometimes it is good to come down from your stand and know how it feels to just be a commenter. Because sexkills was once a mod and no where to be found cos he used his power ultra vires.
Happy new year

she is no more a mod....and its more than 2 months..you seem no to notice,be more observant dude,and she was not just a mod...but a supermod just like lala...but that was then....where were you?..kwontinue

what if dialogue fails, What ever happens to self defence. did u respect any boundary when u go to abuja to collect oil revenue??

ElekeNtioba:


u need to have a good history of yorubas to understand their cowardice. these same terrorized smaller and lesser-powerful kingdoms like dahomey bt when they came against d hausa/fulani an equal-sized empire they ran away.

They joined the Nigerian side during the civil war, ONLY when they were convinced Biafra is d weaker side and had little international support.

Ermmm... Where did you get your facts from?

Are you talking about the same Fulanis we fought against, chased from Oyo but decided to leave in Ilorin.


Dahomey? Try Ashanti. To think that you consider Dahomey small, something must be wrong with **** *****. It was a kingdom, ****

I have problem with generalisation...next time the English man should use lexical terms like some or a good number,just because some miscreants in SE are claiming biafra dos not mean all IGBOS are in support.....its well

”Ishioma, you're a disgrace, I swear” is not incendiary??

I come from the south-south of Nigeria, and so do you. This Nnamdi Kanu asked the Igbos in the east to attack the northerners. If this were to happen and their brethren in Lagos retaliate, I and my household and other innocent people will be lumped together with Igbos and attacked.

If rejoicing that the dangerous bufoon is incarcerated is a disgrace, then the disgrace is just beginning.

If you don't know how to express yourself without insults, I beg you, because of the relationship we have, DON'T QUOTE ME because I will not hold back when I'm dishing it out to you very hot.

My respect for you is gone.

MXrep:

Is that why u allowed Illorin to be taken, What ever happens to self defence

How is it of your business?

We decided not to pursue Ilorin. Simple!

Oh Well, what can I say ..... Two points from what the journalist said:

*1- Yorubas are not inclined to die in the name of any religion
*2- They blow inconsequential things out of proportion

Which is True or False?

Click Like if only #1 is correct.
Click Share if both are correct.

Your second point is not well phrased. He was specific on religion and he meant "inconsequential RELIGIOUS matters" and not neccesarily on all things.

Thank you so much for this. That was how lalas... instead of moving my thread to front page went and created the exact same topic which he then proceeded to put on FrontPage, then deleted my comment when I called him out and blocked me. Running nairaland like dictators! I hope seun sees this comment

Faaji ppl ni o

Was he praising or insulting the Yorubas? The so-called Whiteman can't even write in perfect English expressions. This shows that every race has its shortcomings.

Accuse the white man of not having coherent english writing and then you proceed to start a sentence with 'was' worst part is that english is not even your language and lastly, NO, not everything is an insult.

pinkguy:

Little communal violence? With Calvary, spears, swords and later guns? And even cannons? You would just go to any length to prove Yoruba are cowards won't you.

You appear to have a warped sense of self-importance.

I have been reading your serial abuses of the anonymity of the social media to cast gratuitous aspersions on anything Igbo.

What is even deplorable is your claim of some kind of quasi Igbo identity via an Igbo sounding name.

The Igbos will not continue to allow some people to take a semblance of a millstone contributing nothing other than working against the collective aspirations of the Igbo nation.

Nnamdi Kanu's diatribe and indiscretions have been condemned by most Nigerians, the Igbos inclusive. However, what is swept under the carpet are the subsisting issues that keep precipitating the likes of Kanu.

Granted that Kanu probably overreached himself, but are the socio-political issues being raised by him without merit? So the media blitz and propaganda to deflect attention from the germaine issues?

And what is exactly are you trying to achieve by drawing parallels between Kanu's utterances and sanguine reprisals from the rest of Nigeria?

Don't you think that your rash and impulsive views could be giving vent to those who have made a culture of the destruction of Igbo lives and properties even with little or no provocation?

When did the sundry combustible utterances being made by elements from the northern and virtually the rest of the country led to the threat of extermination of their kith and kin outside their homelands? Are the Igbos supposed to be living in this country as a second class citizens incapable of enjoying the inalienable rights enshrined in the laws of the land for fear of not offending tin gods or some sections of the country?

You tell me: are the Igbos supposed to remain subservient to mistreatment because other Igbos living outside Igboland would become cannon fodder to some undesirable elements at the slightest hint?

I suggest that you people should get a handle on the many shallow and ill-thought out comments you are wont to make on sensitive issues.
