An okada man who is an igbo man was to take me from omisanjana street to odo-ado street Ado-Ekiti. unfortunately his okada broke down along the way-little away from the road that leads to ekute quarters. We got down from the okada n i told him to let us take it to a nearby okada mechanic. His responce was shocking to me. He said he would take his okada to his igbo brother, a mechanic. I asked him where? He said a little far from here. I asked him how? He said he would wave to other okada men (majorly yorubas ) to tow him down to the place. I was like WTF! going through all these when an okada mechanic is over there. i asked him what is wrong with the (yoruba) mechanic over there? He laughed n said nothing is wrong with him just that he likes his igbo brothers (if he had said that d yoruba mechanic is not good enough, i would have reason with him). i left very disappointed at dis particular igbo man. This incident makes me take a closer look at the behaviour of our self proclaimed marginalized brothers.

From an average igbo man perspective, the yorubas are jelouse of them, hausas hate dem, the middle belt people dislike them, the Edos detest dem. All they could see is dat they are hated by other tribes but never think that something might be wrong wit dem if truly the whole nigeria except an igbo hates the igbo man. Even their so called partners (the south southerners) are dissociating demselves from u guys. d question is: who is d problem?

I dont know about any other tribe, but i must confess to u guys dat we the yorubas love you.we've always do and we will forever love you. in yoruba land, many of ur children attended UI, OAU, FUTA, UNILAG,EKSU etc contested for political posts, from departmental to faculty to SUG level and in some occasions, won. Most of the Pioneer top university officials of FUOYE are igbos- starting from the VC Professor Chinedu Nebo.
The current chairman of my street is an igbo man. He was also the former Secretary/accountant/treasurer. Igbos in one way or another are represented in one social-political-association key positions in d SW. They are even voted into state house of assemblies, as senators and honourables to represent d yorubas at d federal level. They even enjoy chieftaincy titles.

The most annoying fact is dat most of these things enjoyed by them in d SW are not reciprocated to d yorubas in d SE. I can bet all i have dat no yoruba man is near to d post of a street chairman (except of course he is very rich) talkless of political post in d SE. "Dey never born d yoruba man wey go think to contest for d post of an ordinary counselor talkless of a whole senator. Even in their accademic institutions as a student; to contest na dont even try am." as said by a friend based in Onisha. My question is who is marginalizing who?

Once upon a time in d political history of this country, igbos were a major force to reckon wit. They were vibrant and popular in major sectors including the nigerian military. In fact d firt coup in dis country was carried out by the igbos. But now, they claimed to have been marginalized political, socially even from the civil service. d thing is, what change? Democracy came in. There is no more have it by force. U have to be popular to have it now.
One thing i want my igbo brothers to understand is dat Nigeria is a multi-ethnic country. You guys are 18%, yorubas 21% and d hausas 30%. Others made up d remaining 31%. 18% cant vote out 82% . Dis is democracy for crying out loud-majority carry d vote. You guys should form alliances wit other tribes. If u detest d yorubas dat much, form a formidable partnership with d middle belt who to a reasonable extent repel d hausas influence. Partner wit d Edo people and superglue ur cracked relationship wit d urobos, ibibios and other tribes in the SS. you can even challenge for d minorities in d north e.g the hausa-christians. Jonathan was voted in with a landslide. Oga buari has been consistently contesting for d presidential seat since 101BC. Even when d whole almajiris voted for him under d flagship of CPC. Jona defeated him hands down. his dream came true after he formed a good alliance with d SW. So wetin b una excuse? Rochas is doing his best to make dis happen under the flagship of APC; he suddenly became the public enemy no.1 of the igbos. My question is how will an igbo man become president if you dont want anything to with d hausas, yorubas, tivs, igbiras, igalas,Edos etc?

To d best of my knowledge, i think you-d igbos are d people marginalizing yourselves from this country and not the other way round.

lastly, please leave out d yorubas from ur socio-political problems. Yorubas are also a minority like you in dis country.we are just 21%. we are dis big because we are smart enough to open our eyes vividly to see real things and not fictions so as to adjust our default settings to solutions to our reality at every fucking time.
I beleive you urselves know dat dat d best ethnic group for u in dis country is d yorubas. And i am very sure dat all of una love us-una just dey pretend so say d opposite. It is the two us of dat can co-exist d best in dis country. So make all of una stop the hypocrisy ooooooo. Jst my observations.

NaijirianKing:
This may be a hard concept for non-Igbo to grasp, but Igbo people practice something called group economics, and this is culturally engrained. Meaning that once one Igbo man gets money, he tried to circulate that money as many times within his own community as many times as possible.

This is how Igbo have been so successful in commercial endeavors. A typical Igbo man knows the power of money and wealth, as such some of his actions may seem alien, but there is much to learn from studying the Igbo.

Igbo marginalization is more so structural, the Igbo get no leg-up from the government, and they have to make their own way. This is demonstrated in the fact that many Igbo millionaires are not affiliated with government.

In regards to Nigeria’s present structure, one would be unwise to categorize what we have as a true “democracy” – true democratic principles are still just taking root. People saying that Igbo will not produce another president are only fooling themselves. If anything, the South East will take the VP position next election if Buhari chooses not to run again.

You are either a bloody liar or you are deliberately mischievous by misquoting what the man told you.

Your heart is so dark with tribalism that you have concluded he hates yoruba or hausa because his preferred mechanic is Igbo. you conveniently forgot that people have their preferred mechanic, the way they have preferred doctors. Sometimes, it's simply a matter of who they trust or who has a deep knowledge of the issue with their machine.

BTW,
Igbos have asked to leave the bloody zoo and you lazy bums that cannot live without them are busy blocking them and finding every reason to justify the wicked unity of the hateful hellhole of a country.[/size]

And with all the so called group economics, the SW is still the destination of choice.
How come the group economics hasn't made the SE so financially tempting for other regions to be doing pilgrimage there. Rather, its the other way round.
Continue doing the group economic, just make sure you don't fail to pay tax to the state government. Otherwise kirikiri becons

FlyoruB:
Smh. To think that these fellows are actually bragging and gloating over what they term 'group economics'. If other ethnicities were to also aggressively and collectively adopt such protectionist practices, needless to say that the Igbos won't even have any other market outside their region as they would simply not be welcomed. I don't blame them though. Na my Yoruba folks I blame for stvpidly embracing them without reservation, only to be called fools in return, and openly lectured about how smarter they are for practicing 'group economics'. Shio.

Primitive mentality.

Countries are opening their borders to encourage trade, they are still focused on tribe.

Countries are mending fences to promote trade, they are seeking division.

Serious, how some people think in 2016 Is quite baffling...... and we're in the space age ooo.

ugohemma:
Sorry, It will be hard for a yorouba to understand but I don't think it will be hard for an hausa or chinese to understand .

I have learnt the yoroubas , they live a liberal lifestyle unlike igbos, The yoroubas accomodate anything that will make dem comfortable but in Igbos feel comfortable when they are in control.

In terms of Business, its normal to ask from who u know that will understand u well and faster.

Tobbie9:
I rarely comment but I have to agree with this, if any other tribe does it they'll label them bigots

i think u dont get it. d situation was an emergency one. he was taking me down to my shop while his okada broke down. A MECHANIC WAS ABOUT ABOUT 15 FT AWAY FROM HIM. jst to call him to check on it mayb na small sharp sharp fixable problem na wahala. i have to stay wit him coz i was initially wit no change. so we branched at a nearby petrol station to buy 1 litre to split d money. no much money for me to take anoda okada like dat.

guy, i experienced dis n nt u. i am nt misquoting anytin ooo. nobody is saying he hates d yorubas, wat i am saying is dat his action was strange to me from a tribe dat always claim dat they are d one others are sidelining frm d nigerian society.d man was even smiling at me coz i was like dis is shit!

KevinDein:

And WTF is an Igbo man still doing in ekiti if he so desperately wants to leave Nigeria. You want to have your country yet you migrate to other people's land on a fuuuckking daily basis. No one takes you confused lot serious buddy

IkpuMmadu:



I hate doing this but I will do it last time
Countries that open up their economies without any restrictions are afrucan countries only the west understand what it means to practice protectionism

That's why America will try as much as possible to limit China influence in USA
That is why China will first of all patronise their product
That is why you see American being proud of iPhone

But with your mentality you open up your economy and import toothpaste and toothpick thereby making you a doing ground


All in bid of globalisation..the Blackman mentality is weird


No wonder it is said that Igbo are the smartest African group around
It has been proven even Nigerian agree to this by giving them higher cut of mark due to their IQ
Even the term Igbo sense


We are not of same wave length biko
