One_Naira: OP

Pretty much standing right by your side with this. Honestly prior to visiting NL, I barely had any form of negative feeling towards Yoruba but right now, I don't trust them, I see nothing positive of them, even the few I had for friends prior to this visit, I just stay away from them except for one (she's too nice to be mistrusted, sometimes I wonder if she's actually Yoruba) To speak the truth, I was warned against this by some of my non-Nigerian friend whom used to visit this forum before but I didn't believe am, now I see they were right, but I don't regret joining at all. I used to but I don't anymore because I learned a lot about some people. One of few Yoruba friends I had, anytime I mentioned the word "Okoro" even if it was someone's last name, he laughs, I never understood why he had that behavior or what was so damn funny about okoro until I joined this forum and to put the icing on top, I met a huge bigot on NL whom happens to live in my city thus I'm suspicious it might actually be him. I pretty much tell every Igbo person and ND person I know and the ones I meet to come to this forum and see how Yoruba are, know your enemy and who is your friend, all this frienemies bullsh1t is not worth it. This people are not to be trusted and I thank NL for that. Also, I realized half of the stereotype Igbo have over Yoruba are pretty much true ever since I joined this site. They pretty much blame Igbo for everything they do or something someone else does to them. Just take a look at the Hausa and Yoruba clash thread on Lagos or even read their replies on this your thread, I went as far back as I can on this website and I realized this forum has always been a mess since the beginning. I sometime wonder was this seun intention when he created nairaland. I advise everyone to go back, read all the old replies you can find and see how this website gladly turned tribal. The rumor that the NL moderators are tribalistic is very true. It started off as bashing Hausa forum, the moderator did nothing thus the few Hausa that was here left it for am then it turned to bashing Igbo forum, the Igbo stayed and fought back, many came to join the fight, as we can see they blaming us for what they started. Nah, I see clearly now. Nairaland is a huge CRAP, just like the country it represents but it opens your eyes very well.

All is not lost, the forum increased my pride of being Igbo and ND more than I thought I could ever reach so at least I got some good sh1t off this forum.

bittyend: Imbibing unity and nationalism - but every time you do that, the first group of people to attack are BIAFRAN REVISIONISTS. Maybe, you should direct your advice to your huffing and puffing brothers, and their revisionist tendencies. The attack on NL boils down to Igbos disrespecting a YORUBA HERO (OBAFEMI AWOLOWO) - and that's why Yorubas started attacking Ojukwu, and the Igbo tribe. You lot can't eat your cake and have it. Chief Obafemi Awolowo is our hero, and that's the way it's going to be for the next gazillion generations of Yoruba people.

If you want sanity on here, talk to your people.

I rest my case!

Delusions of grandeur, Mr One_BiafraPounds

lagcity: Any innocent person shld pls log off NL becos when the bullets start flying, u will be hit. you might even be converted to a tribal monkey yourself. I know I was. I've been a tribalist for 14 months now and i wanna get clean. We should start a group called Nairaland Tribalists Anonymous (NTA)

Eze Onlytruth, pls make doughnut and pizza arrangements for our next NTA meeting Otunba Bluetooth, pls make palmwine arrangements, i don't drink Soda.

One_Naira:

Oh STFU. I've asked this before and noone ever answered thus I'm going to ask it again, what is it with the lying trait found with some NL members and Nigerian group? During the Ojukwu burial, during ojukwu sickness, when the announcement of ojukwu death, etc what did we hear daily for Yoruba members? Isn't insult upon him and his dear wife whom neither did or hurt anyone. The first day Igbo decided to mourn him, what did we hear? Ojukwu is coward, ojukwu ran, Biafra is dead, una lost the war, degrading picture of him, among other bullsh1t, which returned the Awolowo insult. Do una really have that much one sided eysight. If you want the proof, nairaland search Ojukwu and see what ACTUALLY started which. Una opened the door of Awolowo bashing, very few mentioned him during the beginning until Ojukwu bashing became a daily thing on this forum. nah lie I dey lie?

Let me do the searching for you since there's a bad eye problem going around Nigeria

I can continue, there are still a whole lot more but I think I pretty much made my point.

Lets spread it even some more, how many Igbo knew whom or what Black scorpion was until we we heard his name used daily to ridicule the massacre of innocent people committed by that waste of space? don't even get me started on the fools whom were making fun of the attack towards the Asaba people during Nigerian war.

If una want respect for your leader, do us the courtesy of respecting ours. If una want us to respect your people as total, do us the courtesy of respecting us. Respect is reciprocal

Nnenna1:

Let me guess - the above was all jokes and good humor, right? If not - I hope you won't accuse me of plagiarizing when I say that you should have a glass of cold water, chill out and relax.

Let me being you back to "reality" - It's all jokes!

SMH. Have a good night.

One_Naira:

Is this suppose to be funny? or witty?

Sorry I forgot to laugh

Ileke-IdI:
Please, stop this tribalistic comments you post here daily.

Yorubas are not your problem. Stop hating on innocent people who tolerate you in their home.

The less tribalistic comments you make, the less you'd have to fear your Yoruba neighbors.

One_Naira:

eeh? Let's review my post shall we and see every so called tribalistic comment I made since I've been a member wasn't it out of retaliation.

Oya, https://www.nairaland.com/one_naira/posts

Proof me wrong.

You must be smoking something high right now, which home are you talking about?

I lived in ASABA, ENUGU, ONITSHA, PORTHARCOURT prior to leaving Nigeria and now living in USA. I visited SW, just like I visited SE, SS and North but I never lived out of the east. Get your fact straight!!!

Get off that high horse you built for yourself out of weed.

Ileke-IdI:


I can clean you for a price o.

I was once a tribalist too. I've even written a book about it.

lagcity:

for how much u go clean me? i've been a very bad boy ooo. maybe u shld ask the Igbos on NL. I be sniping at Igbos like a mofo.

Ileke-IdI:


Woah!! Dont take out your aggression out on me.

The illegal boat you used to escaped out of Nigeria must have somersaulted and twirled a bit too much.

All I'm saying is hating Yoruba will not solve your problem. Let the people you hate give a fcccuk about you first.

One_Naira:

I do not like insulting women but for your sake, I give an exception

Look @ the castrated, breast dripping, one dollar, crack-headed ashawo opening mouth.

You seem to give a fu2k about me, that is why you jumped into a conversation I did not address to you.

Was I talking to you? No
Did I address you? No
Do I even glance towards your direction? He11 no

Now you wan do iyanga for a person that did not give a fu2k about you in the first place.

Abeg waka back to your one dollar ashawoing before your love-vendor finds out your losing day light and disrupting his cash flow again and love-vendor slap you like the bitch you are.

Ileke-IdI:






Don't worry, I'll forward this to your mother. I understand that you guys like to play the name-game

bittyend: @One_naira One_ BiafranPound

Stop disrespecting my Yoruba sister - please ignore her if you two can't agree to disagree. Why are you so aggressive?

londoner: It has affected me actually. My opinion of Nigeria and the likelihood of achieving any real sense of nationalism has changed. It is very very unlikely it will ever be achieved.

NL has been an eye opener to just how much other Nigerians dislike the Igbos and my opinion is not that it is the Igbos who start it here.........the truth is that the Igbos are the first tribe to be targetted. the reaction is one of self defense. Sometimes too strongly, so it seems they were the first aggressor, but if you trace the thread you will find it usually isn't.

It has also been an education on how some Igbos dislike Yorubas etc

Anyway..............Nairaland is a sample of the tribalism people carry around with them, it is just magnified because their is really no punishment for it and people hid in cyberspace. What worries me is that most of these people are past the age that should have matured past their tribal utterances. These people have kids who they may also be exposing to this mindset.

I must say this though. Of the entire Nairaland "community", there are the usual suspects who either start tribalist threads to entice others to either mock other tribes, accuse them or simply spew hate at them. You will notice it is the same people who keep tribalism alive and well on this site. You can bet money that they will have their hands well and truly in the cookie jar of tribalism here.

Its a shame, because it means that Nairaland has perhaps moved away from its potential as a place where Nigerians can build bridges and learn about Nigeria and one another.

These threads show Nigerians in such a bad light, I cringe that non-Nigerians are reading this and what their estimation of our mindset is.

Da infamous: you get sense at all?your father na terrorist abi abeg go face fulani wey dey take your land and you are here naming ojukwu to sound important see your head.....
