There are 56 reported ethnic groups in China, without mentioning the sub ethnic groups.


There are less than 20 majors ethnic groups in Nigeria. It is the sub ethnic groups that takes it to 300.

Yoruba is an ethnic group in Nigeria, Ijebu, Ebira, Egba, ekiti, Igbomina are sub ethnic groups.

Hausa is an ethnic group In Nigeria but there are hundreds of Hausa speaking cultures.


If China has 56 reported ethnic groups, you can imagine the number of sub ethnic groups there.


Again Google is your friend and your enemy, it all depends on how you choose to filter the information you get from it.

Nigeria does not have 20 ethnic groups. We have far much more than that. Niger delta alone has more than 20. How can you now compare china with nigeria. You are using sub ethnic group to measure diversity.
Baba, you dont know what you are saying

jomoh:
You're the one saying nonsense Google is your friend.

There are 57 ethnic groups in china. Nigeria has almost 300

Terkimbi01:
so how many times have you ready about some Chinese invading the lands of fellow Chinese and wiping them out while they slept?

how many times have riot broke out in China and a particular section of the Chinese are killed by fellow Chinese.

Every unity comes with some price, but wiping out Benue state in the name of unified Nigeria is out of the question.

excuse me please.

Leave the guy. Let him be saying nonsense.

jomoh:
Nope. I disagree. Our corrupt mentality is.


We are not as diverse as India or China.


I would have said our pride or arrogance but when I thought of South Africans who wouldn't see another language as superior to theirs and won't settle for one language to the extent of having up to 11 official languages then I believe it is our corrupt mentality.

Nigeria is not as diverse as china. Stop saying nonsense

juman:
I think if yoruba goes out of nigeria, yoruba would rather like to stay alone as a country.

Exactly

bantudra:
hmmm.. ..

this is the clear reason why urhobos will never join you...we urhobos dont forgive..

thunda fire una white jesus christ!..

Try another one. You no be urhobo.

I have an urhobo friend and his name is ezekiel. We normally talk about nigeria politics. Whevever i bring out this secession of a thing, the guy will always be in support. Though he does not support urhobo joining biafra, but he support total disintegration of nigeria.

beamtopola:
Thank God u have personally revealed yourself. I no you re a muslim. Thank God, you are nt from urhobo

He is not urhobo.

beamtopola:
The guy is jux spewing rubbish.

I tell ya..

bantudra:
thats why most of the army is in the north to take stubborn people like you out...

dont bring calamities and sorrows to you people because of a halfcast from london...

nigeria is okay the way it is...we just have shitty leaders,thats all...

but who always vote the shitty leaders??..not you??...

That means you are a northerner.
You are on your own

Is there any urhbo here? One of your "brothers" said you guys will fight along with the nigeria army to stop any secession plan.
Na true?

beamtopola:
U re a northerner claiming to b from urhobo. Pls stop this. I was puting u on a check, naw ve confirmed you to b from the north. A true son of the soil will never insult or stoned at his broda when others do, u either defend him take him to d house and try to caution him. U insulted Jonathan and hail buhari who put Nigeria into this present economy moment. If u repeat this rubbish again, God will visit your entire family. Though u re not a christian but jux try the rubbish. Muslim claiming Niger delta. F uck up wit u.

Imagine the guy still talking about something of 1966. Lols! I really pity them. If the igbos, or the niger deltans go first, others will follow. I dont know which army will fight for nigeria. Maybe he meant hausa-fulani army.

bantudra:
na so you thought too in the war and we started killing your soldiers from hideouts...

dont you know biafra was not only fighting nigeria but militants in the creeks too??...

how many militants in the creeks you hear shouting for biafra??..

look..declare biafra and find out how many people realy dont like you or shvt the fvck up and hold your peace in the east...

Reality will dawn on you when the time comes.

bantudra:
stop leaving in phantasie lala land....because you wish something doesnt mean its reality.....not only you wish things..others have wishes too...

yorubas will not leave nigeria...for what?..they have lagos...
hausas will not leave..they need access to the ocean..
deltans are not leaving too...they have oyel to checkmate both of them...

the deltans are the true owners of nigeria....

you at the other hand can go to hell,we dont need you..

btw,your biafra is in cameroon...mess up in nigeria and we will beat you up...

omo, i really pity you. Yoruba need nigeria because of lagos? I have said it before that you are deluded. For your information, i am yoruba. While some yoruba might support one nigeria, they are mainly the ones that are not exposed yet. You think this is 1966 where thousands of yoruba youths risked their lives to keep this shitty thing called nigeria one.
No yoruba today will be ready to for your country. You will be suprised that we will leave this country when the oppurtunity comes.
Be living in your delusion. Okay?

bantudra:
are you sure about that??..wasnt it the deltans that pointed out biafran soldiers to the federal forces??...

i dont know why you think we deltans like igbos that much...who told you that??..

tell me...do calabars like igbos that much??...and dont try to lie to me...

i know for a fact that calabars dont like igbos...

Do your really think the niger-deltans will want to fight to keep nigeria one? Men, you must be deluded. If the igbos leave nigeria, the niger deltans will also follow....same with yorubas
It is like you dont follow news in nigeria. There is simply no way the south south will fight for one nigeria. You have stolen their wealth enough. This is not about whether they love igbos, but how best they can leave the parasitic nigeria.
The northerners are on their own in this. If eventually war comes, it will be the south south, south east, and maybe south west and middle belt against the core north. And not the other way you look at it. The middle belt will never go with the core north.
Hahaha! E go do you like film trick

bantudra:
biafra will not work...look at the igbos abroad today...many of them dabble in criminality....you wan build a nation with criminals and halfcast in our backyard........are you people mad??...

make una selfs ready for war!!!!...

fvck icc,amnesia international,uno or whatever they call themselfs...

we shall declare war on the ol world to prove a point!!

You are the only one that will fight the war. You claim you are from niger delta, which i know is a lie.
The last people that will fight igbos to stay in nigeria are the niger deltans.
My northerner friend, forget nigeria, for it is long gone.

bantudra:
are you kidding me??....how much military training do you have??...

you igbos can be happy that we didnt go full force on una in the biafran war...

Let me tell you what you dont know about nigeria today. If igbos leave nigeria, niger deltans and yorubas will also leave.
Everybody wants out, but no one knows who will take the first step.
You better prepare for what is to come. Instead of ranting on nairaland, think of how your new country will be when the country eventually splits.

Dumaknesset:
Brain iPod, are you shitting me! It is always the delusion of an average ibo man, he thinks himself bright, I use to believe it, until the quit notice, then I realized how could a whole tribe be this dumb, nothing in place for your eldorado Biafra, no monetary and fiscal plan on ground, no standing army, nothing has been set up even in paper. After the notice, you guys started asking what will happen to your properties when you leave. You guys are brash, impulsive, astoundingly foolish and stupid, thoughtless and dumb.

What we use to think is the innate ingenuity of ibos in commercial activities have been revealed with cold evidence, that your businesses are cover up for convert endemic criminal activities.

The false myth of the ibos have been busted. You guys are the dumbest in the scheme of things.

Your tin God Achebe said you caught up with Yoruba, you think you did, you guys are dead weight, you have cluttered our space with hot hair and crimes and nothing more.

You will slow us down, cos you guys are grand whinners and you will innudate our ear drums with cacophonous poisonous decibel, when we better you guys and this will constrain us to slow down, as Yoruba are ever equitable in their dispositions to life and issues. Chew on this and thank me later.

Wow!!!

Misterdhee1:
You are very foolish, i swear. Who told u yorubas have ever had a problem with yoruba Muslims? Jeez, your stupidity is heartaching. Mind you, the population of Muslims and Xtians are almost equal in Yorubaland. So where is ur distorted claim of Yoruba Muslims converting to Xtianity in the next 15 years? Will they be charmed to do so or what? Are u so dumb? U think Hausas and Fulanis are better Muslims than yorubas abi? You guys just bring up religious B. S. to cause division upandan. Convert all your Igbos brothers to Xtianity first. Foolish lot!

I really pity those people. Imagine him trying to divide yorubas along religion lines. Later they will claim "yoruba christains" betrayed them.
They are highly deluded

Dumaknesset:
It is not just leaving Nigeria for the sake of it or just to copy the biafrans, we have to put our house in order, structure and restructure every thing about the Yoruba nation, tackle our dysfunctional educational system and culture. we should have good economic plan, judicial system, political atmosphere, respect for meritocracy and mediocrity where once you know some one regardless of the person incompetence the person get ahead. In a nutshell we should plan and not take things as they come.

We can select very good brains and even consult experts to set up committee on each sector of the nations, to ascertain where we have missed it and come up with practical solutions, with a time line and goals with a vision of making the Yoruba nation a world power, within the shortest possible time.

You are right

ImperialYoruba:
See as yanminri dey full this thread yapping shyyte.

if we face you now and return fire you go begin run to UN and ECOWAS crying that you want your own country.

They will never mind their business

SHAKABOOM:
YAAK! I nearly throw off untop dat ugly flag..
Toothless bulldogs..If pikin blow knockout for dia now all of them go kawai..

Yes, the flag is ugly but how is that your business?

Dumaknesset:
When an ijebu or egba sore loser say in an election loses an election, they might result to ibo style of crying marginalization and start heating up the polity like Nnamdi Kanye.

I understand where you getting at. This does not mean we should not leave nigeria

Dumaknesset:
Nonsense, so you have not learned from the present Nigerian arrangement. dividing or balkanizing the states along sub ethnic lines like you suggested, will create the nonsense deep rooted hatred of tribalism. Even if the consciousness is there it shouldn't be formalised, it should be killed.

It does not matter if ijesha have a state or not. What matters is that oodua republic is for only yoruba people

61Penguins:
[s][/s]your own oduduwa agitation is on nairaland
why don't u open a thread to conduct odua referendum?

including my people to form biafra will be a grave mistake. We are better on our own.
Dont try it!!!
Dont!

hammer6:
We cannot trust Yoruba 4 anything. We cannot afford to make the same mistake twice.

We can reach an agreement for reunification but first we go to correct the wrong and grave injustice sffered on our land.

Bros, there is no way yoruba people will go with igbos. It cant be possible

mrvitalis:
A southern Nigeria ...without southern Kaduna ,chibok,pleatue ,taraba,southern bauchi ,southern gombe ,southern bronu ...abuja and Benue

Honestly the Major problem we have with north is religion ..

Forget the Yoruba Muslims ..in 15 years they will all be Christians

Southern nigeian will be more balanced ...each state or Provence will be made to control her resource and pay 25% tax to the center which will control only military and foreign affairs

This will be a very very balanced country

Baba forget that one. The country will not last a year before we split.
A country with three majority is better than two.

bantudra:
kikikiki..they neva see chum chin....when am finished with them they will cry uncle....

You are just making noise. If yorubas form oodua, and the niger deltans and igbos leave nigeria, there is nothing you northerners can do.

Nonsense! We are not joining biafra. If nigeria disintegrate, we will have our own country. A country with 3 majority is better than 2. Southern nigeria republic will not last a year before we have a civil war while the northerners laugh at us.
Oodua republic will be 99.999 percent yoruba. No single minority will be included. Not even itshekiri. They are better with your southern or niger delta republic. The only people that are elligible to join ooduas are the yorubas in benin and togo. Oodua is strictly for people with similar culture, language, and history(decendants of oduduwa).
Oodua republic will also have regional government or states where each tribe will rule itself with full autonomy. I am ijesha, and i believe ijesha will have an ijesha state. So will ijebu, egbas, ekitis, ogbomoshos, and so on. In ijesha state, ijesha dialect will be used to teach students physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry. This does not mean that we will not speak the central yoruba dialect.
Please dont include yorubaland into biafra or southern nigeria republic if you are serious about leaving the country.
Oodua republic for life!!!

Outofsync:
Chill. .

Americans called themselves United States even when they were not.
why cant I do the same??






The way out of this constant wahala is regionalism

Every man to his region, Nigeria for us all

"United states" is totally different from "one nigeria".
Regionalism will not change nigeria one bit. It failed 50 years ago, and it will fail again. If you ask awolowo today if he supports regionalism, i am very sure he will oppose it. Regionalism will only increase hate and envy. It lead us to the first coup and civil war just six years after gaining independence. How are you sure it wont happen again.
Disintegration is the only way out. We should leave this country.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
One Nigeria is an illusion. Any attempt at working towards achieving a united Nigeria will always end up as an effort in futility. The earlier we Yoruba's get our own seperate and homogenous country, the better for us.

Exactly! There are many yorubas who still shout "one nigeria" like their life depend on it.
It is high time we start planning a better future for our children. It is time we start fighting for our own country.
We need to leave this mess called nigeria.
Niger-Area.
Ilu eshe!

Outofsync:
Wow....
Never knew a thread like this existed.





But folks, it's time to rise above "do me I do you" kind of politics.





I am sure there are still right thinking non tribalistic Ibos. We're all still One Nigeria na....

We are not one nigeria. If we are one, we wont need to say it.
