Igbos are not religious tolerant and that's simple truth

Guyman02:

Even we in the South East admire Yorubas for religious diversity and it pains us that individuals like Akintola of MURIC are being used to destroy that harmony in Yorubaland.
I think the Yorubas are about the most religious tolerant group in the world where Abrahamics and other religious groups coexist with little rancour

Diversity does not bring any peace.

It brings competition for scared resources, ethnic tension, high crime rate, cultural shock and enmity.

If you know you know.

Yeah, there are advantages but the disadvantages is more than the advantage.

Countries where diversity is preached have lot of racial tension and discrimination.

thebosstrevor1:
If they praise you for your ethnic diversity know that one day, they are coming to take what is yours.

Diversity is a killer and a stealer. What diversity does is to take the opportunity meant for natives and give it to non indigenes, then you and non natives start fighting for resources and opportunities in your own land leading to ethnic tensions.

Those that praise the south west for diversity will never allow it in their land, go to their universities and ministries, only natives works there.

They preach diversity when they want to take what is meant for you and then preach you are not from here when you go to their own land to seek opportunity.

They allow minorities but the whites don't live in minorities areas.

Even among minorities, bird of the same feather flocks together. Iranians with Iranians, chinese with chinese, lebanese with lebanese, Russians with Russians etc, and these people dont assimilate with the dominate European culture, that is why there are lot of interracial tensions in europe, even the European police don't know how to handle people of other races, if you go hard on them, they accuse you of racism.

Even in schools, africans move with Africans, asians with asians, whites with whites. Even sometimes, classes are divided subconsciously according to race.

Diversity is good on paper but in reality it is a time bomb for crisis, distrust and discrimination.

White will complain that foreigners are taking their job, so they will self preserve themselves by only employing whites, indians too, then blacks will feel left out and accuse the other of discrimination.

Everyday, they keep pointing fingers at each others creating more tension.

Can you back up this claim that Igbos are religious intolerant in line with the religious intolerance obtainable with Muslims in the North?
Osu caste is not a form of diversity,it is a socio religious cult and it's no longer widespread. I don't even owe you any explanation on this.
Igbo Muslims are few and far in between and have always Co existed with Christianity. The Daily post Newspaper pushing that false news about Igbos maltreatment Muslims is on a propaganda to blackmail and arm twist Igbos. If you are sensitive, you will understand what is going on.

I noticed you only have nothing but negative words and statements about Igbos yet Igbos have nothing to do with you on a regular.

BosseJ:
GEJ is spot on. He's not saying Yorubas are perfect but just that they have succeeded the best out of other regions to manage their diversity to foster relative peace, harmony, and development. Other sections of the country can study and learn their success formula.

I’m not a tribal bigot, but there is something special about us. From our culture to our traits.

thebosstrevor1:


I am coming to contest for election in your land.

After that i want to join aba market association and contest for position of secretary, then also apply to be the head of task force in your state. Maybe also join the civil service

All these i want to do with my non igbo sounding surname.

pacespot:


Self preservation or ethnicity, I never knew Nigeria had ethnic problem until I went for NYSC. Yoruba's like to treat strangers better than their own kind, it is part of our DNA and every fabric of our culture. But the red line with Yoruba's is when the strangers started becoming violent with them, mistaking their calm demeanour for cowardice.

LyfeJennings:


Not a lie
The north are even more accomodating but the East is nothing to write home about. Those folks have tribalism in their bloodstream

God1stson:
f

How did u arrive at this conclusion. Igbos are mostly anglicans and Catholics because of the roles they played in d civil way. Islam and it's tenets is not appealing to d Igbos becos we are liberal and we always shy away from anything that suggest cohesion. Even if u like erect mosque in every square km in igboland the best it can do attract one or two but nothing more.

EmekaA125:

Afonja ezi. Nonsense

On this thread, Igbos didn't say a word about what Jonathan said but Yorubas already started off their post by insulting Igbos. It has always been like this on nairaland. Igbos would want to keep away from what doesn't put food on their table but be sure to find an idiot mentioning them.

laiperi:
I have never seen any ethnic group in the world take and tolerate as much abuse as Yoruba took in their own land.

The Youths are revolting against that.

Where did they get: This Is America. Love it Or Leave it.

IPIGSRDOTARDS:


Usual ranting of a delusional reta@ded brainwashed IPIG terrorist monkey.

thebosstrevor1:


The problem is many yorubas easily accept other cultures, with that it is easy for the dorminate culture to crumble and fall. It seems the yoruba identity isn't that strong.

Atleast some self preservation is very important, you can see that many igbos and northerners practise self preservation, that is why foreigners can hardly dorminate.

HEAVEN4444:
you dont get it. in the future when they decentralise the economics of the country and every region has a functioning port and the others can now do their own business from their region and dont have to pay all the duties from using lagos port, you will then get to see that there is not so much money in lagos. also when they open international airports in all the regions. what lagos is enjoying is people from other regions doing business through lagos. anything they bring into their region comes through lagos, and anyone who is travelling goes though lagos and so lots of business as they lodge in hotels overnight and pay for services etc etc etc. my point being when everything is decentralised everywhere will be like lagos. its not like people in the southwest are richer. its just that the southwest is blessed to have all the functioning ports and airports and so its the viable place to do business. also dangote businesses are throughout africa but his base is lagos and so all that moneys from all over the world he brings to lagos etc etc etc. its many ways money is trickling in from outside. i personally think they neeed to decentralise the whole thing because you cant operate the whole country through one tiny place called lagos. its getting too crowded and unbearable

saajus:
Lol. The only identity that survived the slave trade is not strong? Even after 400 years, the trace is still very strong in the Caribbean, South America, and North America.

melzabull:
shut up

Traditionalists is the second largest religion in the south east and no one gives a damn about the adherents including those who believe in marine world

Just in case it's islam you have in mind, we abhor islam and there's no way we're allowing it to thrive in any part of igbo land. Every other religion is welcime

Boudiccao:


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.

Naajjii:

Dont even bring east here, the east is one of the most intolerant region in africa i guess its due to the OSU caste culture, you people hate Muslims, is that how the west hate muslims? Look at what you people are doing to the few Igbo muslims.
