Politics › Re: Yoruba Commonwealth - Kwara, Kogi West, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun And Lagos by aljharem(m): 1:48am On Jun 16, 2012

As a yoruba man if I speak my language even in Lagos or Ogun state, Igbos would label me as a tribalist ? It makes no sense but Igbos can speak the language they want both in there home state and in Western state ? That is the most biased view ever.

There is no point in pushing this thing because my ability not communicate with others in there language HAS NOT DERTERDED ME from speaking my language when I get to my home state. I have never been in Ibibio land but speak basic ibibio.

I speak Igbo very well even though they think I can't understand there language and insult in it. I just pretend that I don't understand to show how hypocritical they are.

I am sorry, but if that is what is hurting the rest of the country. Tough luck, you can always go back to your villages. When we come to your land, teach us your language. I hope I have made myself clear !!!!

samkoro: Is Ijebu 100% or 30% yoruba?Is Ilaje 100% or 40% yoruba?Is Awori 100% or 48% yoruba.U tried ur best to be objective but u failed cos its not in ur nature and culture.If there is one thing an Igbo man understands very well,it is that subtle ways of pretence and setting fire on other peoples homes,it is an extension of that inherent quarelsome and talkative nature.I always say it that Yorubas are self absorbed and self centered.They don't respect anything that is not theirs,they hardly learn other languages except yoruba,they hardly travel the country except the ones from kwara or kogi who go north.

Did u think at all b4 saying this:Igbos should not claim Igbos no matter their Igboness,that means even when its 100%.All I can see is a bigot promising to help fight smaller bigots.

The social problem between yoruba and Igbo stems from the followqing
1)Igbo culture and some other neighbouring ethnic groups like TIV,Ijaw,Efic,ibibio exalts straightforwardness- ability to say the truth to elders and kinsmen openly without fear or favour,but this is found wanting in your culture,thus the overall impression that u are not straight forward.

2)Igbos understand yoruba and their ways and culture very well because Igbos are always the ones that initiate friendship,they are out going.For instance in my youth service days,Igbos are the ones to make friends with every body irrespective of ethnicity while the yorubas would hardly move with anybody not of their ethnicity or cannot speak gbati.They just move in groups.The larger picture of this is what goes on in the country.

3)The Yorubas don't understand the Igbos cos they are not interested.I believe its not totaly their falt cos its biological.Let me tell a revealing story.

There is this Young man I meet while buying a part for my car here in Lagos.Initialy I thought was Igbo
Cos he speaks Igbo perfectly.I mean perfectly,oh my God!! Although with a very negligible accent but men,he speaks so well that ull never think he is 100% yoruba.The amazing thing is that he has never set foot on Igboland before.He learnt it here in Lagos.On interacting with him,he told me that knowing the Igbo language opened him up to a whole new world of understanding of Igbo people and their ways and culture.He hears what Igbos discuss in secrete and open and knows their hearts and feelings.He realized that Igbos are the most detribalized,free minded ,objectve and business minded poeple that realy wants free,just and progressive society.This man despises his certain things his ethnic stock does especially when they harass his customers for packing..He just wished the yorubas could break that barrier of ethnic bigotry.

The young man is doing well around there.I patronise him lot.Infact he is incharge of my vehicle part needs.

Tribalism is indeed killing this country. When you are talking now, you said you met a yoruba man speaking Igbo to you in Lagos; what does that tell you ? We yorubas could careless of your ethnicity or language. I am Yoruba as well and I probably know more about Igbo culture or custom than YOU !!!.

You fail to realise that unlike many other ethnic groups in the country, it is only this yorubas that would speak a foriegn language in there states Yet you all still complain when they finally muster the courage to speak their own native language or interact with other yorubas.

The largest ethnic group after the yorubas in the SW region are the Igbo, 2 out of 20 commissioners in Lagos are Igbos. What else do you want. Do you want us to lose our culture all in the name that we are serving Igbos ? Certainly not !!!

Lets be objective here, I am yoruba and I understand and speak Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and a bit of Ijaw and Ibibio. I have never been to calabar but I speak Ibibio alone side with other Ibibios in Lagos. Am I still a tribalist ?

I eat any food from any ethnic group and friends with people from very different ethnicity, yet you all still call Yorubas tribalistic

I ask, how many none indigenes do people in the east rent houses or sell houses to ? A friend of a friend of mine was narrating how he is doing is NYSC in Enugu and could not get a house to live in just cause he is Yoruba. According to him, he said I quote " The landlord spoke Igbo to him and he did not understand so he replied in english asking if he could rent a house, The landlord then looked at him and gave him a ridiculous price so he could get out, He licked his wounds and walked out"

Till date he has not found a house to live in just cause he is not Igbo.

You as well you called Yoruba language gbati language yet you accuse yorubas of not mixing up ?

The largest ethnic group in the north after hausas/fulani and kanuris are the yorubas, these same people and hausa rarely fight in the north because they know how to blend in.

My brother, take out the log from your eyes before you do the same for others, you are very biased. Igbo tribalism is legendary from the banking sector to nollywood. You can not say Yorubas don't mix up just cause they don't like to go to the South-east. That is myopic !!!

Yorubas just like Hausas know what they are going through in this country in the name of tribalism. I cannot go my Igbo brother in Anambra without him calling him Aboki (because of the muslim dressing) or Yoruba.

Politics › The Okwuchukwus Died To Give Their Children Better Life —pastor, Teachers by aljharem(op): 6:29pm On Jun 15, 2012

Though Joel, Chisom and Esther lost their parents, Jeremiah and Josephine Okwuchukwu, on the day of the Dana plane crash, finding foster parents for the children is likely to free them from poverty, Motunrayo Aboderin writes.

Everyone our correspondent spoke to at the crash site of Dana airplane in Iju, Ishaga, Lagos State, described the family of Jeremiah and Josephine Okwuchukwu as very kind, loving and down to earth. They were less than an average family. But one would not know until you got closer to them. Things were not always rosy for the family. Before the parents died, the family went through a very difficult phase.

Teachers and a cleric said that there were days the children would not eat from morning till night. But one phrase was common in the mouths of neighbours ‘the mother loved her children.’

A pastor, Mr. Godwin Simire, of Faith Chapel International Church, said that Mrs. Josephine Okwuchukwu would have done anything for her children.

He said, “She was a wonderful woman, very hardworking and caring. She gave her all for her children. There was even a day she told me that she found a pair of old socks in a dustbin which she quickly washed and dried so that one of her children could wear them to school.

“That family went through a state of penury. But you would not know unless you were close to them. Mrs. Okwuchukwu did all she could just to make sure that her children live a comfortable life.”

Simire said that the husband, who was an okada rider before his death, was not really there for his family. He said his negligence started when he lost his job.

He said, “He used to work in a good company, but was later retrenched. That was when he started riding okada. It’s like the family moved from grace to grass. Mrs. Okwuchukwu found it hard coping. Imagine having money to buy what you want, then all of a sudden, you don’t have money again.”

Simire said that the Saturday before she died, Mrs. Okwuchukwu had said that if she was to die, she would not worry about her children because she knew she had trained them to be independent and strong.

The Pastor added, “Her four children were very hardworking and committed to Bible study. They were very intelligent and well-trained. Sometimes, after school, they would pass by our house to eat. Those children went through a tough time.

“On the day of the crash, I had gone to her house to visit her. I was worried because she had not been attending church services. From January until May 27, we did not see her in church. Even after May 27, she disappeared. When I got to her house, this was around 3pm, “I asked her why she did not come to church, she said she was washing clothes. I prayed with her and left. I did not see her husband. But from what I heard, he had attended a men’s fellowship meeting at his own church that very Sunday. During the course of the meeting, he took permission to go home.”

Simire said when he heard the news of their death, he was very sad. “I thought the whole family had died. I was later informed that three children survived. That before the crash, the mother had sent the first boy on an errand and when he did not return, she asked the other two children to go and look for him.

“After I heard that the three children survived, I quickly ran to the crash site. I met the children outside. The first boy did not want to leave the crash site, he kept saying ‘my mummy will come out; we just left her now, she sent us on an errand’”.

When asked about the welfare of the three children who have been adopted by the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Raji Fashola, Simire said the second and third children were not really aware of all that was going on and that it was just the first born, Joel, who looked sad. “I visited the children some days back and while we were all talking, Joel just broke down in tears. I felt so bad. But I know God will take care of them. At least, they will now have foster parents. ‘’

Our correspondent visited the children’s’ former school, a public school at Iju Ishaga, Fred Williams Memorial Primary School. Once you get into the school premises, you can’t help but say that the surviving children have moved from grass to grace.

A teacher, after hearing that the children had been adopted by Fashola shouted, ‘Wan ti fo lo, meaning these children have gone high.’

Describing the Okwuchuwkuws, Chisom’s (the 2nd boy) class teacher, Mrs. Adeniran, said the family was one of the best she had ever met.

She said, “The children were lovely. Chisom is an intelligent boy. I always treated them like my own children. They were so respectful and humble. They were so good in greeting people. Their parents really trained them well. The only sad thing about them was that they did not have money. Sometimes, the children will come to school hungry. There were days they would not eat throughout. But the mother was always trying her best. She would come to the children’s school at around 8 am and wait till 1pm when the children close. She loved them. She might not have had money, but she had love for them.”

Adeniran also confirmed a statement that the parents had to die for the children to enjoy life. “The woman was good. She hated the fact that she could not provide the best for her children. It was like she had to die for the children to enjoy. The Friday before their death, she said if she died, we should not give her children to her family members because none of them cared for her. It’s like she knew she was going to die. There was a day we spent over two hours talking. She just kept telling me about her problems. I felt sorry for her especially because her husband was not too supportive.”

Shalom’s class teacher, Miss Peace, described Shalom, who died with her parents, as a quiet but intelligent child. “She was so beautiful. She had a very good handwriting. She was in Nursery two. At first, the school put her in Nursery one but the class teacher said that she was too brilliant for Nursery one, then they moved her to Nursery two. I will miss her dearly.”

Other class teachers, said the children did not deserve to go through such pain. One of them, Mrs. Kuteyi said, “Everyone in this school knew the woman. She was very friendly. She used to come to school every day. She would sit down with the food sellers talking while her children were in class. It’s like she always wanted to be around them.”

Chisom’s best friends, Godwin Ukpevegbu and Steven Obinna, said that life would not be the same without Chisom. They were such close friends. They said they would miss him so much.

Despite the sad ambiance, the teachers were happy that the children would now have a better life. The Principal of Movet Group of Schools, Iju Ishaga, Mrs. Joy Adedoyin, who had a good relationship with the family, said that the children would now have the opportunity to go to a better school.

She said, “Before enrolling the children at Fred Williams, Mrs. Okwuchukwu had approached me. She said that she wanted her children to attend Movet School, but when I told her our school fees, she never returned. I think she did not have enough money to pay our school fees. I heard she also went to other schools around the neighbourhood, but their fees were too high. She later chose Fred Williams Memorial Primary School.”

Adedoyin said that on the day of the crash, Mrs. Okwuchukwu was weaving the hair of her last child, “If the girl had followed her siblings, she would still have been alive. But only God knows why it happened like that,” he said.

Ptolomeus: Dear friend.
I'm really excited about our exchange. Are you a good person. It is difficult to find someone as educated and willing to explain things. It's hard for me to express the magnitude of my gratitude.
I have studied much about the Yoruba. This is a topic that I love. But obviously I'm far away geographically, and it is very difficult to learn.
I've read about the cult Egun as ancestor worship (presumably to tribal or ethnic ancestry).
I understand that the Yoruba, historically there were several kingdoms, in language, traditions, religion and common past. In the beginning, with a central government (political-military) in Oyo, and other cultural and religious in Ile Ife.
I have some material written in Yoruba, that here in Uruguay has remained since the days of slavery, transmitted orally from generation to generation.
It is to Orisa aduras. I would be very interested in you see them, and give me your opinion on the correctness or otherwise of the same and the type of variety used.
If you do not consider it disrespectful to me I would be interested to maintain contact with you.

No problem, I just got your email although you are the first Nairalander I am accepting but I gladly did so. I also hope to keep in contact with you in the near future.

BTW what you wrote was very very correct.

Ptolomeus: Dear friend:
His explanation was excellent, very valuable.
In addition you have been generous in sharing mujy knowledge.
On investigation, many times we must unite loose threads ... and not always doing so we were right.
I thank you for your valuable input.
I have some reference ... to egún worship (Egúngún?) is very interesting!
Few people in the forum have your spirit of reciprocity and respect for the past.
Admirably!

Much respect and appreciation. I enjoyed the discussion with you because it is rare to see like of you with this sort of calm nature.

BTW, Egun is different from Egun(Ogu)

Egungun which is short for Egun means masquerade - I think

Egun can also mean Bone

The Egun I am talking about is an ethnic group from the ewe family which is part of the larger Yoruba group. The actual name is Ogu but most other yoruba would not understand thus the use of Egun.

to better understand this I would try to explain.

The yoruba ethnic group itself is a group of nations and in these nations, they are further ethnic groups in them. Ok for example I would use my ethnic group.

Awori-Ogu have both Awori and Ogu people. In Awori we have Brazilain Awori, Egba Awori, Ogu-Awori, etc

In Ogu we have Badagry, Igbogbele, Rapoji, Agbojetho, Kweme, Aivoji, Iweseme, Ajesin-Ogu (benin).

Ok another example would be the Ilajes

In Ilaje we have other subgroups like Ugbo, Mahin, Etikan and Aheri.

I hope you see where I am coming from. Understanding yoruba government is very very interesting to me as well. Although we in Nigeria call ourselves yoruba but those in other countries call themselves their different group name.

BTW Awori-Ogu, Ilaje and Itsekiri are the coastal yoruba groups found in Nigeria.

manny4life: @alj harem,

One thing is certain, increase in fuel prices (domestically) will not plunge a $260billion economy into recession. Nevertheless, I will acknowledge that it might slow down economic activities such as spending due to increased prices, BUT DEFINITELY NOT RECESSION. Recession goes beyond domestic fuel prices, 'were talking about something more broad. Take the components of GDP that cause economic growth, reverse their growth and you have an economic slowdown (recession). I do see your argument, but I do not agree 100% with you; just like before, and now again.

Ok manny4life, we are still watching. All it takes now is for the government to increase the fuel to 148 or so then you would understand better what I am talking about

Abacha would never be known as a Nigerian Hero no matter how you people try to change history. The fact is still there for us to see even today. He cause the suffering of millions of Nigerian today.

Nigeria economy does not support economist theories !!! Each economy in each country have different theories that suit them.

Increasing the price of fuel would certainly affect the price of transportation, food etc. Now the worse mistake was to increase to world price, that is dumb because you basically expose your country to world price fluctuation. Also given the fact that Nigeria is a producer of this commodity, it is utterly stu.pid of us.

samkoro: I disagree
A country is affected by global economic upheavals to the extent its import and export relies on it and not price of fuel within the country.If Nigeria is a perfect system ,fuel price changes will neither have positive nor negatve.

That is to say that if you dicrease fuel ,citizen will pay less and enjoy ;limiting gov income and ependitureIncrease fuel price and citizens pay more while gov gains more money for further developement that may be more important than citizens wasting fuel because its cheap.If mass transit sytem is perfect I.e n[b]etwork of trains,fuel could sell for N500 per litre and still transportation will be cheaper than what we have now[/b]
