thebosstrevor1: You still didn't answer the question, are whites living in these areas or not? Your analysis failed to consider income levels, ethnic and religious differences. For example, are you saying if you're well educated with enough experience that you won't be able to get a white collar job paying good wages in London, Rome or Munoch just because you're black? Are you saying you are likely to get less opportunities than our present situation here in Africa? My friend I told you to talk with context, you mentioned Brexit but even more than 40% of Britain voted against it surely that means it was not a unanimous decision. Furthermore you seemed focus on the negative aspect but are quick to ignore the positives. Where in Nigeria can Hausa man head into Enugu and contest not to talk of win LGA election? Where can an Igbo can go to Kano and contest for Governorship? For all the racism and prejudice we associate with the whites, we are 10 times worse by the way we treat each other, you mentioned crime rates but can you associate it with skin color without considering income level? We have blacks and Asians in wealthy parts of Britain have you checked the crime rates over there? You will be surprised that crime has not risen in those areas despite more and more minorities moving in, which further confirms this is all bullshit rhetoric! 1 Like |

I see people talking about how diversity deprive indigenes of certain rights. Only a cave man who has never left their village would say such. By the time you travel out of village and go to other places and you're denied of your rights because you don't belong to a certain ethnic group or religion, that's when you will appreciate the importance of ethnic/cultural tolerance. |

sweetshisha: Why the hell are you dragging Igbos in what doesn't concern them? You claim to be tolerant yet can't demonstrate it. The South East is the most homogeneous part of Nigeria, 98percent Igbos and at least 95percent Christians so there is no diversity to manage in the East. Why don't you put these things in perspective before spewing your usual diatribe towards Igbos. And can you show me where Igbos are extremist? By rejecting Herdsmen and their religion that only seek to destroy? By agitating for Biafra, which is a right to self-determination? How exactly are Igbos extremist? Igbo phobia will kill all of you! 1 Like 1 Share |

candidtalk: What does this have to do with Ipob? Of all the people that make up Nigeria, it's the Ipob people you picked out and mocked. Ipob doesn't have any diversity to manage in the East unlike the SW region, so why should they be pained by Jonathan's compliment. You should concentrate on the other hetrogenous parts of the country like the North that has not learnt to manage their diversity. Keep your unnecessary name dropping to yourself. 3 Likes 1 Share |

AutoChick4U: Yes I can agree with your point but I think Jonathan is speaking about Yorubas management of adopted diversity rather than than indigenous diversity you have in mind. The SW is the true melting pot of Nigeria hosting the greatest and most diverse congregation of people from different ethnic groups in Nigeria. It is the reason Jonathan specifically said what he did. 1 Like |

sweetshisha: Osu caste system is not part of diversity. Hatred for Igbos and the need to drag them into everything has made Nigerians stupid and bereft of common sense and logical reasoning. The topic is diversity in a region which the East doesn't have and you are referencing a moribund cultural practice. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mangekyo:South West is matured enough to determine their political interest. They voted for GEJ in 2011 and voted against him 2015. There was no agreement on how we should vote so I don't know where you see betrayal or you don't know it's meaning. You can accuse me of betrayal if we have agreement and I did otherwise. Jonathan doesn't hate south West, Yoruba is not strategic to his government just like Igbo to Buhari government but you trust us instead of playing victims card, we know when to make statement like Ronaldo on the football field. 8 Likes 1 Share |

sophxx: I don't think that's the point he's trying to make and non liberalism doesn't mean violence against other tribes but there is a need for some level of conservativism on the part of yoruba and Yoruba leaders. liberalism is good when it's reciprocated, if an igbo/hausa man can run for elections in the south west and the Yoruba can do the same it would be ideal liberalism but when the opposite is the case and the hausa/Igbo man can get opportunities in the south west but the same isn't reciprocated to the Yoruba man in other parts of the country then you would have a serious problem on your hands. And Yoruba's being liberal while orders are closed and conservative is like bringing flowers to the battle field while the enemy comes with machine guns and weapons of war. We must fashion our weapons of war similar to that of the enemy in other for it to be a level playing field. 4 Likes |

codemaniacs: When the population is made up of 60 to 70% whites and the rest minorities, you expect minorities to be equal to the number of whites in most companies? The fact remains that majority of minorities are less educated when compared to the whites and not until the last decade or two did most minorities start prioritizing education. Your quota system is only in your head because time and time again, these Europeans/Americans have shown that if you're truly good at what you do, they'll not only roll out the red carpet for you but also depend heavily on you. E.g. Omalu, Okonjo-Iweala, Pearlena Igbokwe, Maggie Aderin-Pocock and many others......You can either play victim or make yourself so valuable that they can no longer ignore you! |

greatiyk4u: In what ways? The South East is dominated by Christian religion. In what ways are the supposed to be tolerant in a region that has mostly embraced Christianity? Have you seen Igbo in the East killing Northerners like Northerners kill Igbos in the North? Have you seen South East Igbos attacking and raiding Mosques in the East yet Churches are bombed and destroyed in the North. Have you seen Igbos kidnapp and behead an Imam or Muslim cleric in the East? When you say Igbos are religious intolerant, I wonder exactly if you think before typing. Do you want the South East to denounce Christianity and switch to Islam or Hinduism to please you? Some of you just spew trash against Igbos just because it is cool to do so. 1 Like 1 Share |

muykem: Great points. In fact, what you highlight is the essential point GEJ makes which is that Yorubas, more than all others, make their lives and existence about issues important to peaceful coexistence of all and societal progress/development every individual can enjoy. Yorubas do not allow themselves be bogged down with ethno-religious sentiments and bias that are ultimately worthless in the pursuit of a fulfilled and happy life. GEJ is actually praising the Omoluabi ethos, which advocates the concept of live and let live in goodness, without knowing it. |

thebosstrevor1:You have to understand that diversity is great. the biggest economies in the world are full of diverse people. new york, london etc. of course there will be losers which is part of the indigenous populations who are poor but you have to understand that all these people bring the wealth from their region to the SW too. look at dangote ? built the biggest world refinery in the SW, look at the guy who owns landmark ? got a loan of 100 million dollars and came to build it in SW, etc etc and so these people bring their brightest and rich people to SW and this moneys goes to the coffers of the SW government when their businesses are taxed etc. thats why the SW is prosperous. people who dont diversify are poor because they are left with only their local population and no one is bringing new moneys into the place. so we take the good with the bad. e money comes to blow all his money in the SW, burna boy, timaya etc all spend their money in the SW. it is these money that are in circulation. 1 Like |

Boudiccao: Lol. Someone is in pain. Are you going to deny that Igbos are hateful, tribalistic and highly intolerant? Or you want me to dig up the thread where Igbos encouraged Jonathan, after he became substantive President, to be mean to Yorubas, "punish" them and scheme them out of relevance? I deliberately mentioned IPOB because hate never allows you Igbos to grow or let go of your dislike for others. Jonathan you so much wanted to be your 'koboko' to whip the Yorubas is now the one actually praising the Yorubas as exemplary and an ethnic group the entire Nigeria should take lessons from. I am 100% sure Jonathan now regrets his dalliance with the hateful Igbos, like Stella Oduah etal, who made him become the enemies of the Yorubas he is praising today. See the shame and disgrace of Igbos in the link below yourself to know it would not kill you Igbos, if you have any decency in you at all, to apologize for your awful ways and try to make amends. https://www.nairaland.com/745731/yoruba-marginalization-elders-met-jonathan chino11: 4 Likes |

I can't stop laughing at the comments though.... Is there one thing you tribal e-warriors would agree on ?? These hatred you keep bantering is leading to bad blood offline ..... The Igbos can't stand when the South Western are praised. The Yorubas too are waiting to yap the South Easterns when they have negative news . Can't we stop these childishness Your.kids will ask you what you were doing when your mates were collaborating on wealth making. Your search will come.up with fighting e-wars and e-battles that didn't translate to any major achievements. Kids, stop these churlish behaviour already. 1 Like |
