Here is the pure truth of how Yoruba see Eboes

They are primitive and savage
They lack culture
They worship money
They have no scruples or morality
They are childish and emotional politically so they don't think far or strategically.
They are very crude,loud and vulgar. No style and no taste
in summary they are not really very civilised and
They have no spiritual grounding

CHAI.

Because when Zik partnered Sardauna, the Grand son of Usman Dan Fodio, Ahmadu Bello was a Russian?

Because when Shagari picked Dr Ekwueme, he was Canadian?

Because when ojukwu contested under NPN, it was an American party?

Yoruba did it once, una want the world to end

Keep up with your njakiri threads of unity begging. I'm enjoying them

So who truly are the “Fulani slaves” now?

Ethnic jealousy is at the roots of the hate between the Yorubas and the Igbos. Economic and political angling of past is also responsible. The Igbos are by nature very industrious and talented. They excel at just about anything they touch. The Igbos are very aggressive and domineering people. The Yorubas are afraid of the Igbo-take-over spirit and as such, are jealous and refuse to accept that reality.

If you read through the colonial documents leading up to the 1914 Amalgamation, you will see that Federick Luggard's Muhamedian Emirate of the North was broke as he routinely was unable to pay salaries to his colonial workers. At this time, Southern Nigeria (present day SE and SS regions) generated about 115 million in trade, a monumental achievement that was never-before heard of in this part of Africa then. The Yoruba Southwest at the time was called Lagos colony and this region had very mediocre economic impact.

Lagos colony was not financially bouyant, though not as poor as the North. For the Amalgamation to work however, Lagos colony and Southern Nigeria must be grouped together, in order to access the wealth generated by the Igbos to take care of the North. Luggard and his Northern conspirators only really wanted Igbo land but excluding Lagos colony would have met disapproval from the colonial office back in England charged with approving the Amalgamation plan. So, they grouped the East and West as Southern Nigeria, where the Yorubas wanted lead but Igbos refuse to allow them.

Look at it this way: your house is poor (North) but your neighbor's house is rich (South). To access your neighbor's wealth you announce that both houses belong to the same compound, so as to grab and share in the wealth of your neighbor's house.

To highlight the aggressiveness of Igbo success and ingenuity, the Igbos dominated industry and government before the civil war. Azikiwe even attempted to rule over the Yorubas in their land. Being dominated like that shook, and continues to shake, the Yorubas to their core, hence, the animosity.

More so, because the wealth of the new Nigeria was domiciled in the then South east (today's SS and SE combined), the Yorubas made sure they stand with the North to exterminate the Igbos for attempting to break away the rich region from the poor and parasitic regions. The civil war was genocide on the Igbos, Awolowo seized all the food and humanitarian supplies sent from other countries to the Igbos because the supplies came through Lagos port.

The threat to deny the Yorubas and Northerners a share in the wealth now domiciled in today's SS region is why the Igbos are highly discriminated against politically, today, by the benefactors of one Nigeria. Obasanjo has confessed openly in the past that if the Federal government allows a functional seaport in the then Southeastern region, that the Igbos will use it to import military weapons to fight for breakoff. It is this reason why every was taken to Lagos.

So, the hatred or animosity between the Yorubas and the Igbos is rooted in these ethno-political and economic facts of the past. It is not personal, but ethnic or tribal instincts necessitates the blocking of other ethnic groups from outcompeting your ethnic group. The Yorubas see the Igbos as their rival in just about everything. They think of themselves as second to the North but they see the Igbos as challenging that, even with no political power or federal government help. They despise the guts of the Igbos.

Great people survive extermination. Most countries around the world hate Israel because they survived extermination by Hitler's Germany, and are today one of the strongest country and people on earth. The Igbos survived extermination by Northerners and the Yorubas to emerge today's most industrious and economically creative people. The Yorubas think this economic feat should be them. If the Igbos are allowed political power, in addition to their ability to generate money and to create things out of nothing, imagine how powerful the Igbos would dominate hence, the reason for the jealousy. The Yorubas are afraid of being dominated, but their Lagos is dominated and bought over by the Igbos. These are the causal factors.

Everybody come and see propaganda at its' peak!! Make una dey fear God, nah! Kindly let us know if any part of Igbo land is connected directly to the sea, or to any ocean, first. And please remember to tell us the name of that sea or ocean. So how on earth can you say that "....if the Federal government allows a functional seaport in the then Southeastern region, that the Igbos will use it to import military weapons to fight for breakoff. It is this reason why every was taken to Lagos...?" Or is it that river port at Onitsha, that you are calling a sea port?

Stop making empty noise. The truth remains the truth whether I say it or not, and whether you accept it or not.

I am not Igbo. But I accept their ingenuity. That fact won't change even if I don't say it or accept it just because I dislike them.

Southeast at the time included the entire South South or Niger Delta of today. Again, stop exposing your idiocy.
