no offence but EDO peeps do they speak igbo??

some parts......

no we don't speak Igbo.N which parts are ya talkin about Larger_20?

Kizzy, you are so right you hit the nail on the head my sister. I have been saying the same thing all day about the Yoruba people thinking the know every thing.I'm new to nairaland and it's starting to look like this forum is one big Yoruba outing.

Which tribe did I come from again? na igbo ooooooo. Igbo kwenu! Mua nu! zua nu! Ndi igbo si na egbe belu, ugo belu nke si ibe ya ebena nku kwopu ya. Igbo ebelugo ka ibe ya, udo wee dikwazia soooooooooo,Igbo ekene m unu ooooooooo!

Yaal have got major issues.
Seun asked a simple question - and you see how the "typical" Nigerian reacts... I am this and I am that... 'all LABELS'...if everyone wants to be "G*Damned (allow my frustration please) anal about where the hell they are from, then Put a freaking sign up on your head.

It was a simple question.
And what do you get...Yoruba this, Igbo that............ Its all geography people.
Funny enough, its the same discourse that has Country gripped by the nutz.

Kudo's to all who belive in simplicity. Enough with the streotypes

You aint nothing if you aint making another person's life better. Me, I am nigerian and that's it. I aint fitting into no one's Box (label...for those who aint got the working's of the metaphor). nuff said.

I is a Yoruba! We rock! Please can I get someone here to tattoo the word "Yoruba" on my forehead?

dark night: ok, ok! u did make a good point but you still haven't answered the question though, so where are u from?

my dad is urhobo, my mom is isoko but my dad's mom is itsekiri and her husband speaks itsekiri as well as ijaw and illaje fluently. in any case i am from delta state but i have lived more than 15 years amongst the ikwerres in Choba, Rivers State.

So this is 'condescending'. No matter what you do, someone will complain.

This is a pointless topic, and it is in danger of turning into the very thing it was supposedly meant to curb. There is no need to defuse any allegation. You can always perceive tribalism from statements made by those who are of such mind. And no matter how hard one tries, it can’t be wished away. The Igbos should and are big enough to understand this and move on.

Once again I think that a topic like this is very patronising, even if the intentions are real.

I want to see the results of this poll, but I can't vote because, as I'm not Nigerian, none of the labels apply. Can I choose Edo, as my wife is?

nferyn, Please do. On NL u should be able to represent your wifey.

@Ababoy1, I agree with u man

this topic is very unnecessary!!!the reason why the Yorubas are more visible is because they speak their language!!!well,I really don't see why anybody should feel segregated,if you want to be noticed,speak your language!!!

If only she wasn't so affraid of computers

Could all the Edo and Yoruba people that are into their history have a look at this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-5002.0.html
anyone who help me further will receive much praise

kizzy:

Aint getting you wrong hun...but it's like the second or third time you said that now?

i know just makin sure

kizzy:

i know just makin sure

Alright

kizzy:

and by da way u igbo?

No

so,making one's presence felt by using his/her language is interpreted as being full of one's self?This is not soooo!!!if you also want to be recognised,speak your language!!!Like I said earlier on,this is a really sensitive topic and it could cause untold friction in NL.I don't like it at all!!!are we just becoming suddenly aware of our ethnicity?please.........

Perhaps the Yorubas are more noticeable because I am obviously one (based on my name) and Hot-angel and Nike and Layi and Goodguy and all the other top posters except Nferyn and Snazzydawn.

true,if I want to make igbos and Efiks popular too on NL,its very simple-------------I will speak it!!!I don't know whay people are feeling segregated.If you feel so,then make your "tribe" known!!!enough of this bla bla,we are all one!!!

Have you all noticed that it is the Igbos contributing on this thread that are discriminating against the yorubas?

@ goodguy,am I discriminating against anyone?I see people first as my brothers and sisters.Where you come from is really inconsequential!!!besides,I am dating a Yoruba guy,and we might just go down the aisle soon!!!

Best Wishes Snazzy

goodguy:

Actually, I wasn't referring to you. They know themselves.
