Ibos are controversial set of people. You can do it to others but cry foul when it is done to you.

And so? You guys call them all sort of bad names, from Nama(which means meat or animal) to Almajiri(which means student but in the Nyamiri quarters referred to as beggars) and so on, but they don't complain...

When Wike dressed up a goat and tagged it Buhari, you praised him.. forgetting that you dont plant a mango seed and expect to harvest Apples

Now they call you Nyamiri, you are opening a thread..

Is This A Hate Speech Or Not?

A footage have emerged of a Muslim Cleric, sheikh Yahaya Jingir, referring to Peter Obi and Igbo's as Yamiri during a Jumat service at a mosque near PHCN office Wuse II

Nyamiri which is a derogatory word to Igbo's, originally means "Nyem mmiri" which means give me water. A word Igbo people used to ask the Nigerian soldiers during the war when Biafra was overrun and deprived of food and water.

This is coming after Buba Galadima sent a very strong message to religious leaders collecting money from Buhari to deceive their worshippers during this election period.

According to a twitter user who shared the clip, he wrote;

Muslim Cleric telling his congregation not to vote for Atiku because his deputy is Yamiri, a derogatory word for Ibos.
This was during a Jumat service at a Mosque near PHCN office Wuse II.
Is this not hate speech? @segalink

Sheikh Yahaya Jingir, according to many, is known to ferment hate right from jos.

Is painful that people like you were not aborted before birth...

The main condemnation of this unruly act or statement is that it came from an IMAM on a Holy pulpit which to me is totally wrong.

He is not in the position to make such statements, His religion is a religion of peace and whatever he does or says must always preach peace and love.

His act have the gravity to cause division and riot among tribes.

Only a stupid person with a dead brain would support this devilish act from a so called preacher of Allah.

You are too old to at least have a common sense. Do Igbos voted for OBJ and Yar'Adua because they had Igbos are the Vice?

Mofo, obasanjo administration was the first democratic rule after a long military rule, your people don't have choice but to vote for popular candidate then , which was OBJ.
Yar'adua administration has GEJ as his deputy... and that was the reason , your people wanted to bulkanise because GEJ wasn't reelected after the expiration of his first tenure in office....

Omo' Igbo, I can not be fooled by your hypothesis ....
I know more than you....

No it's not. "Nyamiri" is the Hausa word for Igbo. You that call them "aboki" you're the one who should be accused of "hate speech."

"Nyem mmiri" which means give me water. A word Igbo people used to ask the Nigerian soldiers during the war when Biafra was overrun and deprived of food and water.

Yes that's the origin, but the standard Hausa word for "Igbo" is "nyamiri".

There you go with a bad example again.
When has a revered father called Hausa people those names. You're not able to differentiate institutionalized hate speech vs random side talk by people.
When a governor, iman, or senator uses his official mouth piece to promote hatred for another tribe, that's quite different, unfortunately, people like you don't even understand the difference.

Educated people in this country are trying to prevent a situation where revered fathers, governors, and popular politicians in the east will use derogatory names against perceived enemy tribes during their official communication. Hatred is not exclusive to any part of this country.

You of all people should know the etymology of the word "Yamiri". The word was derived from the Igbo phrase "Nyem miri" (sic) which means "May I have some water" in Igbo.

That word was a term of endearment, used to refer to hard working Igbo traders who used the phrase in the markets up North, in the olden days, after working around the markets in search of business/customers.

They would ask friends for water e.t.c.......our Igbo brethren were referred to as Yamiri with love.

Many of you wayward youths have turned a lovely term to an abusive one, much like you turned Aboki, which means friend, into a racial slur.

Na wa for una.

You're pained because of this small insult, have you not been calling Hausa and Yorubas all sorts of names?


If Yorubas are civilized enough to let you get away with it, Hausas are not that patient, they will fight back With everything they've got.
Keep quiet. We all call each other names but a cleric isn't supposed to say that.

Ok. It's a borrowed word from Igbo and it's derogatory. Just as the Igbos have multiple derogatory words for everyone wherever they go.

Omo' Igbo supported Atiku because their brother is his deputy candidate....but that doesn't demeaning the fact that hausa-muslim lose their preferred candidate which is buhari...

....and That's clear indication that in most of the northern region, Atiku will fail woefully and he will perpetually fail in this Saturday election...

Your south-east and south-south vote is not enough to make Atiku a winner... angry grin embarassed



Who was the person in d mosque that covered n leaked d tape after Galadima's warnings

Pls start using ur head ehhh!!

In 2003 n 2007, did PMB not choose igbos as running mates?
Y did igbos vote Obj n Yaradua respectively

Look Buharis doesn't give a f***k about u n ur tribe. He's a politician desperate for power. And he's gonna choose from any tribe that will get him d power ok?

Look igbos don't hate PMB but d poverty n recession that accompanies him. And it's quit obvious that he isn't in charge n can't manage our economy. Rather d economy is too advanced for him to comprehend.
So my friend igbos are pragmatic enterprenuers, hence can easily spot a bad market or leader when they see one period

As for that Iman?
He's a fool and he's time will soon be up

Someone once said the killing of Christians begin in the Mosque. When leaders lack what to offer they bring religion and tribalism in.

The same people fueling killings in the North and beyond.

Among the greatest problem with Islam is that they spend most of their time on Christianity matters. This why you see daily attack on Christians till date. These attacks are as a result of decades of hate doctrines.

And if we must move forward tribalism and religion must be regulated. strictly.


I don't support this Imam on this, but most of the peeps commenting are hypocrites. pastor's said more than this in churches. No pvc no holy communion. Buhari would win, you all can go and die

I'm not Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo but I can't help but laugh about this tread and what it's supposed to represent.

The Igbos and Yoruba are mostly at each other's throat sometimes I think it's sport for both of them. So, I my observation, it's fair play because both are protagonist and antagonist most of the times.

But Igbos and Hausas, it's one way street, at least online or on cyberspace. It's blatant open season on the other because some people think erroneously highly of themselves.

Alot of wrongs might have been done to these people, but name-calling is not one of them. If anything, the crier in this case is more guilty than the accused. Even this very thread is further proof.
