Shymmex you derailed your own thread

Yes you are right but again it is completely up to them. Yorubas would do their own part

SMH.

Tyche: OMG!!!

My brother, this Nigeria is a dog eat dog country. I just pray God continue to have mercy on us

Well I hope this thread generate some meaningful discussion. now the question is why igbos on nairaland hate yorubas with all there lifes

The terror let loose in Igninedion University, Okada, Benin City this morning has taken a new turn as a yet-to-be-identified man was headed by some men believed to be ex-militants.
In an early morning chaos in the university today, some former militants stormed the school causing a free for all fight between rival gangs.
This has led to pandemonium in the school. It was reported that some policemen stationed at the school could not take control of the situations which has degenerated to a worse scenario.

Na wa o

Death everywhere billions on security indeed.

Bukkyade: GEJ has the right to contest for a second term,if it was an open contest it would have been a different ball game,the occupier of the office in this case has not exhausted his right to contest for a second term,so talking about the taking up arms if they are not given the presidency,from a supposed' Elder Statesman' who's fully aware of the security situation in the North,to me smacks of Treason and it's capable of causing more unrest in that region of country.Elder statesmen should learn how to make public utterances because they have people who look up to them,the statement should be roundly condemned no matter who or where it's coming from.

nope, He said that just before the election suggesting that if Nigerians does not make GEJ win we are in trouble.

In all honesty I am not in support of this core-north vs south-south fracas.

I am not picking a side as that is pure tribalism and nothing else. The best thing for us right now is SNC. Let everyone go their own way.

@ OP

Just like Ojukwu just like Nnamdi that is why Shagari called him a political prostitute. Later you would see them shout up and down on Nairaland to little kids.

For those that know their onions know that south east politics is full of traitors and double speakers full of tribalism and all sort.

Bukkyade: I just knew it will only be ethnic bigots and myopic people like all harem,who will support that spent force called kaita,let hm come rob us or better still divide the country himself,if that's what he wants,FOOLS

If you actually think I support Lawal then you are wrong. I just hate the hypocrites on this site.

What is the difference in what he said and what Dokubo Asari said ?

I quote Asari "If our son is not the president, get ready for a civil war"

Which is worse ? Are you ready to fight a civil war ?

gerald28: If tinubu is serious, he should find a credible canditate from south-east or middle-belt, else all this rubbish will amount to what it is. It is the time for igbos or middle-belt to produce the next president of Nigeria, you guys should get that into your thick skulls. Obasanjo has done the turn of the yorubas and you all know it, you want another yoruba again. You people keep making the same mistake over and over again. what nonsense.

Is fashola a yoruba or a Nigerian ? Sentimental tribalism !

Igbo2011, I am proud of you. It is always a breath of fresh air when we see Nigerians support her indigenous companies. It might not be a great support but a journey of a thousand miles starts with a step

Innoson nice one,

We need SNC fast !!!

It is only ignorant people that would be against it.

@ Nku particularlly here is diamond bank, It is a known fact at least in the North and Western part of the country that if you are not Igbo, you can never ever get a job in Diamond bank.

Even the owner of the bank confirmed this when he said people perceive it as an Igbo bank. Why the hell would people do that if they have not be discriminated against because of their ethnicity.

@@@@@@ Samkoro nku and co, here is some of the tribalism percussions Yorubas get from Igbos on a daily bases but most of us just shun it.

THERE IS TRIBALISM IN NOLLYWOOD, SAYS RUKKY SANDA

Rukayat Akinsanya, also known as Rukky Sanda, is gradually being ranked among the most promising acts in Nollywood. Rukky, who started acting in 2004, has accused practitioners in the industry of tribalism.

Though she is a native of Ikorodu in Lagos State, her versatility has earned her more recognition in the English movie industry than the Yoruba sector.

The Banking and Finance graduate of the Lagos State University, disclosed that she initially had a pleasant experience in the industry until when she suddenly realised that tribalism actually exists.

She said: “When I had my first audition, I got a role instantly. That was with Sunny Mac-Don, but what I have realised recently when I came fully into acting is that there is an issue of tribalism.

“[size=15pt]But I think this is uncalled for because I have been given roles several times and later rejected simply because I'm of the Yoruba stock[/size]. I think that is really wrong. People don't have to be rejected because of their tribes. This has really affected me,” she lamented.

NollywoodReel gathered that the humble and friendly Rukky has featured in over 14 movies since she joined the motion picture industry in 2004.

Some of the movies in which she has featured include Angel and The Beast, My Precious Son, Strength Of Love, Legal War, Desperate Girls, Weeping Tiger and Heaven's Gate.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ samkoro

Here are the facts about Yoruba

1. Most yorubas that talk here are teens and children, most of them just talk with emotion of which I am guilt of at times

2. Yorubas are not tribalistic, we view Hausa and Igbos the same way. In fact we have a soft spot for Igbos until we view websites to know what you all are made of.

3. Yorubas could careless whether you form alliance with anyone so long as you do not interfere with their politics then all is good.

4. You spoke of yorubas being insecure when you speak your language ? Can the same not be said of Igbos being insecure when they speak their language as well ? Igbos have created this political veil of calling yorubas tribalist even to those that have never met yorubas. That is propaganda but I know it would end one day.

I wonder have a tribalistic group would house the higest number of Non-indigenes both in the country and outside the country.

5. You talk of yorubas having a soft spot for Hausas ? Well ask your leaders, likes of Ojukwu and Nnamdi that wanted one Nigeria when Yorubas were fighting for southern Nigeria. You all caused it and now you are paying the price but rather than blame those leaders you are still blaming the yorubas ? It is insane.

6. If yorubas are as bad as Igbos point them out to be, why do other groups (such as mine) love to be called yoruba rather than my sub-group ? Why do we chose to drop our language to pick up yoruba ? Do you think is by mistake ? NO SIR !!!! We chose it because we know Yorubas among the 3 ethnic group are the most peaceful and one minded. It is not a matter of language but a matter of kindness and loving nature.

7. No sir, Igbo is not the largest ethnic group in every single state apart from Kwara and Kogi. Igbos are only second largest in Lagos, Oyo and Edo and that is MAINLY DUE TO THE FACT OF THE ACCOMMODATING NATURE OF YORUBAS Thank God for that. Igbos don't even accommodate each other not to talk of other ethnic groups and YOU ALL KNOW THIS FACT !!!

8. Yorubas learning Igbo language is completely up to them. No one forced me to learn it as well but we chose to because of our nature. Apart from Fulanis, Yorubas are the group of people that speak Hausa the most. Apart from Igbos themselves and maybe eastern ijaws/Ibibio, Yorubas are the second largest group to speak Igbo language. We tell our Igbo brothers to teach us their language and even at that they chose not to (completely up to them). They then complain when I speak my mothers tongue in my father's compound but when they speak their own language in a foreign land (Lagos and co) it is fine since yorubas are Yoruba cowards.

9. Igbos are known not to pay rent and YOU KNOW THIS, I know Igbo landlords even in Lagos that would not rent to Igbos because of the same reason. About 50 % of this Igbo landlords do that, Go ask a proper housing agent about this stats and confirm to me whether I am right or wrong. I know this for a fact !!!

Why don't other ethnic group face the same problem ? In fact my parents house was last rented to a delta anioma woman (I think).

10. If it is up to me, I don't want to be in the same country with likes of you and other Nairalanders and the reality is that any yoruba that reads the rubbish most of you Igbo tribalist do here couple with what you do real life would really wish for the country to break up so they can have peace.

No Yoruba/Anago from Ghana, Togo, Benin to Nigeria wants to be chit chatting with you people whether they are allowed to speak their own language in there ancestral land or not, No yoruba want to be fighting over who owns this land or who is the largest ethnic make up in this state or local government. It is for primitive people with primitive brains that is a fact !!!

You talk of being a philanthropist ? It is not a must we must put it on newspaper pages that this is what we have done. The work speaks for itself. Rochas is a very good man and I respect him so much. No withstanding, I don't consider Roachas an Igbo man but a Nigerian just like Abiola, Saro wiwa, Ben bruce, Pat Utomi, Fashola and many others.

We don't have problems with anyone so long as they respect themselves and don't try to belittle other in other to feel superior or something to them. They want a peaceful life where they can exhibit their culture freely without looking behind them.

Whether Christian, Muslim or traditional feel free to live and let live. That is a typical Yoruba person's mentality all around the world because I notice you try to segregate Yoruba Christians and Muslims.

Igbo people, SMH.

The MOST TRIBALISTIC ethnocentric people I have ever encountered on nairaland

Rednose: ...yorubas are very nice people... Not so, in my opinion people are nice because of who they are (personality) and not because of their tribe or race. I'm yoruba, grew up among yorubas and wonder why they are cruel to each other irrespective of class or religion. I admire the yoruba culture, however I won't call yorubas nice people.

So you mean you register 2 minutes ago just to post that rubbish ? No YOU ARE NOT YORUBA, you are probably another Igbo bigot on this site.

If you are yoruba and I know you not reply to this.

E bo ni ile awon irun e wa ? Idi ile wo ni ?

Also translate this, Opobo gbo bo gbo be, Opobo gbo gbo si enu, ti obobo o ma tete gbo bo gbo gbe, Obo o gbe gbo gbe



Rubbish lying scum.

nice !!! enjoyed it

orufe: Godbless the Ijaw nation.

You can say that again, God bless the Ijaws. Love them

shymmex: Same here - because I'm light-skinned, and I've broad shoulders (muscular due to the gym)... But they tell me my Yoruba look is my height - because Yoruba are naturally taller than Igbos.

I guess that's why Igbo girls like me.

But I personally think I look Yoruba, and I have Yoruba features.

Hmmmmm, I still don't understand what Yoruba features is ? It is quite strange

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Actually when I saw your pix, I thought you had on a lil weight.

Goldieluks, where art thou?

@alj harem

Igbo look for male --> mid size, flat forehead, and. . . . cant thing of anything else. And not like skin because most male Igbos are dark skin, proportion of light Yoruba men and light Igbo men are equal.

I hear the opposite on NL, but anytime a "news event" picture of the SE are posted, most of them are dark skin. I'm not sure why they wish to be light skin on NL.[/quote]The same still occurs even today, I am way darker now (brown) and I still get this "you look igbo". While I was a little child, I was very light skin and could not speak yoruba then they say I am Igbo. there is nothing wrong in being called Igbo but I want to know why people say this out of ignorance.

I don't have a flat head.

Just last week or so, I was called an Igbo guy taught I was Igbo. Not that it is bad, I love the idea of association but I must point out that there is nothing like Igbo look or Hausa look or Yoruba look.

when people talk about people looking Igbo or looking this. I wonder what that means ?

I get people telling me that I look Igbo. What is Igbo look ? Anyone care to answer

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]Ouch!!!!

You're dealing with power (Tinubu), so what else do you expect?

Anything nigerian is disorganized to the core; why does the chairman not informed of the meeting?[/quote]Bawo ni ileke idi ?

Power ko, papa ni

Tinubu holds no power even in the SW or Lagos, stop deceiving yourself and likes on Nairaland. Tinubu only rod making him to stand now is Oshiomole and Fashola.

The people that still hold the power in the SW is Afernifere and that was why GEJ was clever enough to go meet them first. Buhari would be wise to do the same (at a political level).

dead on arrival. What the hate are they going to be using Atiku and IBB for ?

If ACN/CPC looses then please lick your wound and try again. DON'T pollute the party with likes of Atiku and IBB

Why not try to woe likes of Rochas, Lamidi etc in

Mods why do you keep hiding my post ? Igbo mod for Igbo lying propaganda. Rubbish

really anyone that thinks Agbotean is Alj harem must be the dumbest person on earth.

@ Agbotean, thank God for you. You have open the eyes of millions of ignorant Nigerians to the truth. All this lairs and propagandist must stop.

PStylish: ^^^
If Segun Aganga is not Yoruba, then what is he?
There are native Yorubas in 11 Nigerian states - 6 SW states,Kwara,Kogi,Delta,Edo and Niger (Jebba is a Yoruba settlement with an Oba).

Tell them o !!!

samkoro: Why I said Igbos understand yoruba subtle ways is part of what ur doing now;trying to curry favour from housa;mentioning your master all in a bid to fight Igbo.Is there any group ethnic gruop called housa-Yoruba? All Iv known is housa-fulani.Listen if want us to compete for housa favour,we know how to do that better?ok Cos if you betray today,we'll patiently wait for our turn to revenge,and that's it.

Besides kwara and arguably Kogi,Igbos are the largest non indigenes in all states in Nigeria.This is the truth for Gods sake!!!Ask any northerner

The Young yoruba Igbo speaker is the only one Iv encountered in my lifetime and could be the only one in the entire yoruba population,So don't use him as a general case and claim his glory.He personaly told me he despises a lot of things his folks do out of ignorance and bigotry.In humour yoruba friend had told me that his his people are tribalistic.For Gods sake,this has become an axiom;it does need proof again.
About the NYSC guy that went to Enugu for the first time.Yes,that could be true,because the land lord may have a relative in Lagos who must have told him his horrible experiences in Lagos as regards searching for accommodation,omo oniles,area buys in market,OPC(some Igbos joined OPC because of several reported cases of stranded Igbo businessmen killed and labelled theives,,it took time for Igbos to discover what was happening ) .Those in the east ar current with what happens here.Igbos were able to overcome accommodation problems in lagos when they started building residential houses and accommodating stranded Igbos.Before it takes only a good christian yoruba landlord to give accommodation to Igbo because poblem starts when Yoruba landlord arbitrarily jacks up rents to very high levels he won't do if the tenant is yoruba.

You see how ethnicity go round and round.Everybody is guilty in one way or the other but yoruba is the most guilty.They started ,laid the foundation and built the structure of tribalism;and still practice it to date.They call the practice SOPHISTICATION.Instead of taking the lead to kill tribalism look at what sophistication has done to Nigeria .The one politician that has been making efforts to fight ethnicity thru peace Conference is ROCHAS.That conference was held in 2001.That reminds me that Yoruba philantropists do not extend their one naira to the east.

On language,who will teach us in the east? Since ur running away from the east for fear of reminding Igbos there of Awos and Adenkunles Biafra genocide but Ironicaly its not like that.Strangers are valued and protected so much in Igbo culture.People that serve there wish to settle there if they get a livelyhood there.In my place,people like hanging out with strangers out of love,curiosity,new experience and desire to learn.They may even give you a tittle if you do the right thing.

On refusal to sell land.Its pure falacy.It defile all known rules about Igbo behaviour.If u want to buy land in developing towns ,just carry a sign post with bold inscription YORUBA and a micophone announcing u are YORUBA looking for land to buy.If you have the MONEY you will buy every land for sale and non will remain.Just try it.

East is the only place an motor park tout will treat u with courtesy.That attitude to strangers is what-by default,restrains us from reprisal attacks.Its also the reason why we reach out to people,initiate friendship cos we expect others to do likewise.

On language also,Yorubas get nervous,insecure and uncomfortable when one speaks Igbo with a fellow Igbo in there midst.This attitude puzzles and pisses me off.I don't know the reason why.If you are in their midst they will speak and exclude u in the discussion as if u don't exist.We don't complain about that,but why I'm mentioning this is because Igbos will switch to english for u to be part of the discussio,have a sense of belonging and contribute to it.

My friend if you know the essay I wrote before it would have thrown you off your feet because it seems like You just like many Igbos on Nairaland don't know Yorubas neither do you know any of your neighbours.

I am not going to post that because it would make me an ethnic bigot like you here. I live you to your delusion

BTW, Yoruba don't prefer Hausawas to Igbos, we see your two as the same. Although MOST yorubas have a soft spot for Igbos of which I am one.

The rest is for those that have time.
