How can Yoruba need Nigeria more than the people who travel out their own domain to settle in every corners of Nigeria? More than the people who have a large population and very small land area?
I don't understand why you people sometimes stand logic on its head. So Yoruba needs Nigeria to develop Lagos? What type of logic is that?

In that case, you might as well say that Igbos need the world to become one country because last I checked, Igbos are almost everywhere doing business. Not just in Nigeria.

For example My uncle with his partners have already cornered majority of the auto spare parts market in Ivory coast. Does it now mean that my uncle now want Nigeria and Ivory coast to be the same country?

Outside of nairaland where none-entities claim prominence, the yorubas and the igbos are one. In love and in trade, in sport and edibles - aside politics of hatred as propagate by the imperialist britain- we have always been brothers.

Yes and NO. It has to be based on something they have in common! Igbos, SS and Yoruba Christians? Yes! Igbos, SS and Yoruba Muslims? NO! The problem of yorubas is the yoruba muslims. These muslims are the ones quick to tell you that "religion" means nothing to yorubas that they are one. The yoruba christians rarely say this because they know deep in their hearts that these yoruba muslims are the obstacle to Yoruba progress as a nation and a willing tool of the Hausa-Fulani.

Yoruba/christian dichotomy exists only in the fertile imagination of hateful folks who scream themselves hoarse online about a non existence issue.
If Nigeria breaks Yoruba will go on as one united people regardless of religion, it has never been an issue as far as I know and will never be.

If you know this why then do you think Yoruba will need Nigeria more than ibos? Is spare part selling something your uncle was born with and therefore cannot be done by any other person?

I really wonder how anyone would still want to form another nigeria after nigeria is done.


The bastards whites/lord luggard that created a contraption called nigeria, do you think they don't know what they are doing?

Have you ever wondered why the english have their own country, same as the french, the germans, polish etc in the same europe that is half the size of african continent?
Can german and english live together without bloodshed.
Imagine one ediot from nowhere lumping germans, english, french, spanish together with some backward east europeans countries and ask them to live together.

Let everyone answer him papa name like the europeans so we can compete at our own pace.

Two tribes together can never work.

Everything I have seen so far have shown that yorubas need Nigeria united. The unity of Nigeria in its current form benefits them as lagos is the major access for trade via its ports. This forces a country of 180 million people to depend on it for everything. Imagine if Nigeria breaks up and the population drastically reduces, what then becomes of the Lagos economy and all the debt that they have incurred. So this is why yorubas are fighting tooth and nail to make sure Biafra is never restored.

And the ibo business people who grew billion naira businesses on the back of the 180 million population doesn't need Nigeria? Trust me most ibo billionaires will defend Nigeria with their lives, only poor and suffering ibos are protesting and getting shot for nothing. A separate ibo nation will still be faced with similar problems Nigeria is facing today.

Those Igbo billionaires you speak of are free to remain in Nigeria. That is their cup of tea. My interest is with the Igbo masses and their future generations. We have seen the mistakes of One fake Nigeria and will plan our futures in critical ways that avoid those mistakes.

The future of Yorubaland is not tied to whether or not some people are using our ports just like the future of Ibos are not tied to the interests of a few billionaires.

In that case you are grossly underestimating the immense advantage that the population of lagos is to it. That population which is inflated by igbos and all Nigerians is what attracts investments to lagos. Investors don't pour money into places with tiny populations. Once that population reduces, it becomes less attractive. Simple economic.

For example Uyo has good infrastructure but low population. That's why they are struggling to attract investments.
Re: Can Yoruba And Igbo Co-exist? by frleopardo: 5:30pm On Mar 15, 2017
It could have worked if the Yorubas had supported secession from the first day but their underhand and sabotage have made the two tribes eternal enemies. At best they can only maintain a civil relationship as neighboring countries.

There was Lagos before the influx of Ibos and there will be Lagos if they decide to leave. Life will go on, a new set of settlers will come and the time ibos were in Lagos will become just another point in history.

On behalf of all Ndiigbo, the yorubas commenting on nairaland cannot expect us to forget over 3 million igbos murdered and starved to death by Awolowo blockade of the East.

Taking our money and allowing some of us only #20 and then never allocating funds to rebuild or help the war ravaged people of Biafra.


Basically left the survivers for dead.


The Yorubas cannot expect us to forget how dey betrayed GEJ and the entire South for the second time.


U can take advantage that alot of us live in Lagos and marry from us, but dont mistake that for a consenting union between Yoruba and Igbos


We will happily hand u Lagos once Nigeria ends, but will never agree to ever share a country or nationality with yorubas on this earth.


We cannot Coexist outside Nigeria.

In all honesty, I wish Lagos well and I know that it has gained all the ingredients that will enable it to thrive in the long term with visionary leadership. But the status quo will not last for ever, so it can enjoy that monopoly for now.
Re: Can Yoruba And Igbo Co-exist? by hammerF: 5:42pm On Mar 15, 2017
Take note, their is nothing like a sensible igbo, that is actually an insult.

If Pat Utomi are sensible igbo, y do they identify with Nnamdi Kanu? Even Soludo, Oby Ezekwesili?

We are all igbo and share one ancestry and one struggle.

We are all together on this, though some are more aware than the others.

We are Igbos.

Yorubas men and women should take their prick and yansh, live happily ever after in their Oduduwa, we dont need them and they dont need us.

We will never agree to such country, we will fight, protest and die to prevent that happening on this earth ever.

A EU style confederation of two separste can work for Yorubas and Igbos, but not for long.

Sooner or later, Yorubas will start looking for their precious 'one Nigeria' and invite the Northerners into the mix. Thats when the Igbos will pull out.

In the history of Nigeria, tell me between Yorubas and Igbos who have cooperated most with Northerners politically

It doesn't take a lot of money to build a pirate radio station besides just a few dollars contribution from each of the thousands of ipob zombies will more than fund the station and even pay the "director" who is now cooling his heels at kuje.
