Igbos and Yorubas should never have been in the same country together, it was a disastrous mistake by the British. It had created a situation where both tribes will be politically fighting each forever

But God will be merciful one day and divide both tribes into different countries of their own, there will be nothing to fight about any more, and everyone can finally rest from this disastrous British colonial contraption called Nigeria

Yes. Pragmatically intelligent Yorubas look forward to that day more than you can imagine.

And yes their Mods leave their offensive posts.often on the FP

I thought I was the only one being dealt with like that. Someone would type something terrible here and nothing would be done against him/her, but you that just responded with nothing so serious would be banned.

rubbish, Azuka can choose to copy or behave anyhow he likes but should leave igbo out of his madness.

Culture varies, orientation varies. What works for Yorubas may not work for the igbos and vice versa. Trying to promote one above the other is rubbish. Many Igbo business men will spit on you if u tell them to come and sit down idly drinking beers and gossiping. It's not in their nature and it's working for them. Azuka should shove his ideas down his as.s

Another load of hogwash driven by the automatic need to defend a backward culture one was born into as Igbos always feel compelled to do.

What, for example, "works" about Osu Caste system? Try and spin your answer to legitimise appalling discrimination. Go ahead.

Not true. You are just saying this to be politically correct or to fraudulently exalt the culture of your ethnic group when it is undeserving compared to others.

Yoruba culture is far superior and more sophisticated in comparison to Igbo culture.

Look no further than the one example of how there is no culture of discrimination against the female child in a Yoruba community or household.

Compare to Igbo culture where, till today, a female eldest child, ostensibly because she is inferior to male siblings younger than her, cannot inherit the estate of her father.

Intelligent men dont talk for the sake of it. They try to ensure what they say make sense and/or can stand the test of factual and intellectual scrutiny.

This is one example alone I give yet many more exist, such as the Yorubas universally acclaimed respect for elders, to show Yoruba culture is vastly superior to that of Igbos even if you wish to delude yourself it is otherwise.

I dont expect different from you though because it is not in the nature of Igbos to give credit where due to then learn from others to become better.

Instead Igbos are automatically envious of and threathened by those they percieve as better to then be obsessed with badmouthing and running them down or comparing d1cks wtih them constantly. [/s]

Unintelligent Igbos and predictable whataboutism. Tribal marks were a way of identifying children to even their communal home in the past.

How can that, by any sensible person, be compared to societal enslavement of Osus and shameless discrimination against your own people and women also?

Is all these remnants of your backward and shamelessly discriminatory culture not even still visible today whereby Bianca Ojukwu is barred from contesting a political role in Anambra yet all Igbos want to be political leaders in the land of others?

Just accept others are superior and learn from them. There is no basis for comparing Yoruba and Igbo culture same as only a lunatic can claim light and darkness are similar.

Nigeria as a whole is an underdeveloped country. No state can boast of 24 hours of stable power supply.

Osu caste system was practiced in the olden days and when the modern era came, we took no permission from anyone to abolish it. Our spirit of hustling cannot be traded for anything. What others are trying to copy from us is what we foolishly want to throw away. Many Igbo men cannot sit in a place drinking beer and gossiping like the Yorubas because we want to enjoy life, hell no!
We cannot forget our towns meeting in the cities because we want to rest. It's not done. To us, many of these things have no substitute. Yorubas cannot behave like us, we cannot also behave like them. Our cultures and orientations are wide apart.

Even though I had spent two years in Ondo State as a child, it was when I arrived in Lagos during my post-university National Youth Service Corps scheme that I was mature enough to study the way of life of the Yoruba people.

When I get into a new environment, I study the way of life of the residents, in order to understand how and why they do things. Whatever I consider admirable, I copy it. Whatever I don’t consider special, I don’t copy.

This is the responsibility of everyone and it is taught from the home and beaten into your ears in most Yoruba families. If you're outside Yorubaland, the counsel of your parents and family will be ringing like a bell in your ears so you constantly remember that they are waiting for you at home.

You just want to mind your business and appreciate your host. We are very very careful not to get involved in the local politics of our hosts outside our region in the country. There's a reason why. Our progressive approach to politics and governance is completely different so there's no point getting involved in the politics of your host who are not familiar with your kind of progressive politics. If you want to do politics, come back home to your Yorubaland and do your politics.

This is a brilliant write up by Azuka. I have always loved his column. I remember his column protesting how people write their home address by inserting comma after the number in a wrong way. Thank you Azuka.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

You didn't have to politicize this inspiring write up. There's more to life outside of politics and the earlier we understand this, the better for us all.

They take life easy by using their people's body parts for ritual but when an Igbo man prospers more than them they begin to envy him.

They show off the most by doing owambe at any slightest meeting but when an Igbo sprays money, they are thrown into a mass hysteria of envy, question his wealth and tagging EFCC again him.

The most ethnic minded people I've come across, yet they do not love one another. The fiercest celebrity rivalry and spat usually happen amongst them.

The biggest farmers of hate and injustice. Whoever is unpopular among his people becomes their biggest ally and whoever is born among them learns to hate his people until he grows up to meet his people and learns the truth.

Problem is that if we do bigotry for bigotry, they are now dishing out 6 weeks ban mostly to Yoruba posters.

I got 6 weeks ban in the past for calling someone IPOB terrorist after he wished violence in the SW. Got another one in the past for calling someone Igbo after the poster used the word cone head. Guess what, the guy was not banned.
