The truth of the matter is what Kemi Olunloyo said sometimes ago that Igbos are too emotional..... That's why I still maintained that bloated emotions is the reason for their current agitation and that alone will cause the whole charade to fall like a pack of cards.
Very emotional.

That's why Igbo cry victim of small things.Including being in opposition or election loss

They've been in opposition purely in Nigeria politics before.

There has been a lot of rubbish posted online by anti-Igboists about the fact that 9 of the players that trashed Cameroon were Igbos! They ask mischievously 'why no one is complaining about marginalization'!

Igbo man out there, if they ask you such silly question, just tell them this :

No one is talking marginalization because the players were chosen based on merit not based on tribalism. If it is 9 Tiv players tomorrow, as long as they are chosen through merit not tribalism or hate, Igbos will not complain!

The Igbos are only asking for a level playing ground not preferential treatment.

No competition is fair, so dude compete with the rules and without, and win, that is a champ thru and thru, don't wait for any preferential treatment.

You got it! One medal for you! Meritocracy not preferential treatment is what we need to enthrone in this country!

Bro, your statement about yoruba's been the descendant of igbo origin is a complete misinterpretation of history...

Read your history well! Igbos were the aboriginal group in Ile Ife. The Igbo kings were titled Obatala, or Osere Igbo. They ruled Ife till about 1000 years ago when Oduduwa The Great took over for the Yorubas. The Igbo descendants are there till today, but are now Yoruba.

The point is: we are all one and should build on that, rather than all these hateful mudslinging all over they place!

Igbos have Judeo-Nubian origin. That remains true. They are not wholly Jewish but their origin is Judeo-Nubian. That is- part Jewish- part Nubian.

Igbos were the ones parroting the tribes of those who played in the match against Cameroun.

Same Igbos are the ones still lamenting the hypocrisy of marginalization that was pointed out by Nigerians who saw the list the Igbos were parroting.


What exactly is the solution to Igbo inferiority complex?

Fyi, the Ugbo in Yorubaland is merely a dialect variant of 'Igbo' - which means forest in Yoruba language.

Most of the guys that started that match were not igbos

Most of them are from different tribes in the South South.. While leon balogun (Man of the match) and Moses Ajala Simon are Yorubas.. ogenyi onazi is from benue state.

Only 3 igbos started that match and they are Mikel, Ezenwa and Ndidi.. . But they claimed nine of them were bifrans... Lol

Don't mind these guys jawe. .. They are still playing catch up.

The Nigerian wrestling team recently got back from the world championships. .. The team won lots of medals for Nigeria and it was dominated by yorubas. .. Yet we didn't come here to scream Oduduwa team.

The highest ranked Nigerian table tennis player in the world and Africa's number one is Haruna Quadri a Yoruba Man.. . Ronke Oshonaike is the highest ranked Nigerian female table tennis player. .. Those that will represent Nigeria at the world youth table tennis championship are all yorubas and these kids are the future of table tennis in Nigeria. Highest ranked Nigerian chess player is Yoruba.

The heavyweight champion of the world is Anthony olaseni joshua. ..

South west clubs have won the Nigerian Premier League more than any other region in this country.

Rashidi yekini is still the highest goalscorer for Nigeria with 37 goals followed by mathematical Segun Odegbami, then Aiyegbeni.

Last year Olanrewaju kayode had 24 goals in Europe, he scored the highest number of goals by a Nigerian in Europe.

Even Yorubas in diaspora are doing better. . Talk about the likes of Dele Alli, Olatokunbo Alaba, Ademola Lukman, Dominic Solanke etc.


That's why I laugh whenever these guys claim they are the soul of Nigerian football.. . Only those that started watching football in 2016 will say such thing.


Yorubas and other tribes in the South South (especially Delta and Edo State) are the ones driving Sports in Nigeria

Anybody still in doubt should check the previous Nigeria sports festival, check the final medals table.. south east states usually compete with Zamfara at the bottom of the table

Somehow we Nigerians are related than we even know, even names likes Ada were also historically Benin names, there is a connection also with popular names like obi and oba, the ancient Nok culture also connected many tribes in the region. I laugh when ignoramus seperatists speak of a so called Luggard contraption. We are not that different as some imagine, even Hausa before Dan fodio. I think only the fulanis migrated but they have been totally absorbed by the Hausas.

This is not true, the problem is that many insecure Igbos on social media boast too much, they started this arguement of super eagles players and their tribes while Nigerians were rejoicing, many had to remind them that MOST OF THE KEY PLAYERS SPAN ACROSS VARIOUS TRIBES IN NIGERIA.
Simon Moses, leon Balogun, Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, in addition to Mickel, Ezenwa, and Ndidi these were the major guys.

How pathetic. Shame no even catch una. Just coz una no get any proud history to identify with, you had to fabricate one by attempting to forcefully inject yourselves into Yoruba history. Una sha wan form attache with Yorubas by fire by force. I feel your pain but it's way too late to rewrite or superimpose yourself into Yoruba/ife history. undecided
