₦airaland Forum

sCun: That is what people like Desola do not understand, they come here pretending to speak for all Nigerians or people of a particular tribe. Nairaland members isn't even up to 0.5% of Nigeria's population, considering the alternate accounts.

Even if we were to agree that Nairaland is not up to 0.5% of the general population, the numbers represented here is a representation of the people regardless. While I cannot speak for the whole of the Yoruba nation, I can make observation and use nairaland; other online forums and social network including my personal interaction with my people offline as a gauge. I bet even you yourself cannot claim to know the general opinion of the country because you can never know.

However, if the utterances of your representatives and leaders are anything to go by, I can safely conclude that you do not like Yorubas and i'm sure we can do well in reciprocating that unkind gesture!

sCun: It goes beyond marriage alone, there are Igbos and Yorubas doing things together in all facets of life without any hatred whatsoever. If you don't like Igbos state it clearly, there are also Igbos on this same thread who clearly do not like Yorubas, but making sweeping statements like ''we do not like each other'' is absolutely wrong. Like I said before, speak for yourself. Life does not end on Nairaland. You need to step out more.

Like I said earlier and I again reiterate, even when Nigeria breaks, Yorubas would still do business with Ibos. I am personally not fond of ibos generally but it does not mean this is so for all Yorubas. The issue in Nigeria is not so much about hatred but that we are so fundamentally different that that difference has stopped us from forging ahead with a unity of purpose. Yoruba people are deeply spiritual and grounded in their culture and tradition. The ibos might be similar but I have found that even if that were so, we are not on the same level.

Our history is starkly different and our gods are totally different even though we are now trying to build bridges by finding commonalities through foreign religions. Take the current happenings for example, there is a renewed sense of Yoruba nationalism because for the first time since the hay days of Awolowo, Yorubas are forging ahead and taking developmental strides. We are thinking of railways through our region, building infrastructures while on the other hand, people of your region are crying about Yorubas witch hunting their corrupt daughter Oduah. We have different priorities and cannot afford to be distracted by trivialities.

You claim that contrary to my assertions of lost love between our ethnic groups, ibos are getting together in every day life. While this is true, it doesn't stop your national newspapers from castigating Ngige all because he is part of what you term 'Yoruba party' which has an agenda of ridding its region of the ibos. You called Fashola all sorts of names because he chose to help reunite some of your people with your family. Yet, with all these evidence you come bold faced to tell me that the disunity between us is a figment of my imagination?

I bet you didn't believe that even when you were typing it out.

sCun: Try to speak for yourself more. Using statements like ''we don't like each other'' makes it look like you are the spokesperson of both tribes. I am sure there were hundreds of Yoruba /Igbo marriages that took place today,just like every other weekend. Are you telling me that the couples do not like each other. While you are busy wasting your life hating online, people from both tribes are working and partying together in the real world. You need to wake up, life does not end on Nairaland.

No doubt that there are a handful of Yoruba ibo marriages taking place but that does not stop the ibo traditional leaders coming out to call a whole region "amala and oily soup people", now does it? Even after Nigeria breaks up, there would be inter marriages but if you are not being disingenous like you always are, then going by the general pulse of the nation and the stupid stereotypes we have created for one another, it is clear as day that we do not like each other. If you are not prepared to take my word for it in the real world, this site is filled to the brim with evidence that we cannot continue to co-exist. I bet that should I take the trouble of perusing your post history, I would find some generalisations about Yoruba people.

Pretend all you like, but the fact would not fly away. That psquare is marryiing a half Yoruba girl does not equate to the two different ethnic group having love for each other and you know it!

it is just too simplistic to say that we love each other because few individuals from different ethnic groups are getting together in matrimony. Even Adekunle didn't see anything wrong in killing anything that moves in iboland during the civil war and yet take a bride home from the same land after the war, so there you go!

atlwireles: Best comment you have made on forum. Everybody should mind their business and split this hell call Nigeria. If Haiti can be a country, Chad, Niger and even Malawi, then All tribes, zones, and region in the current landmass call Nigeria will do just fine separated.

But seriously, if we look at the dynamics of Nigeria critically, you will see that without the argument of "our oil feeds the nation", Yoruba has been the big brother of Nigeria. We have given so much in activism by standing against tyranny; we have sustained the country with cocoa export before the discovery of oil; we have had the capital city imposed on us without having a say in the decision; we have had the most migrants from the nooks and cranny of the country and had no choice but be hospitable, accommodating and tolerant. Our seaport has enabled the eastern region to thrive as traders. We have produced the best administrators and professionals and sacrificed our notable figures on the table of democracy.

Now, it's time to start looking after number one. Let us let go of the dead body called Nigeria. National conference will not do! We must demand sovereign national conference. Let the ijaws go and enjoy their oil and rebuild their land - give them the right to determine their own destiny; to control their wealth.

It is time to cut the cord!

sCun: Your only sensible post on Nairaland. Some people think dividing Nigeria is like cutting a loaf of bread. Even if it happens it isn't going to solve any problem. If we can't be united now, there will still be divisions then. The Ijebu man will suddenly remember he is different from the rest of Yorubas etc.

Why concern yourself about Yoruba when you have your region to concern yourself with?

We don't like each other, we have nothing in common culturally and linguistically so why must Yorubas stay to carry on being your crutches!

Enough is enough! We are too distinctly different and share different moral ethics and ideologies. An ibo person has no business with a Yoruba! We must part ways!

gbanikiti: I totally disagree with you at the bold comment. I can't believe that despite the sufferings and total hardship of vast majority of nigerians,they don't crave for a disintegration. Those who clamour for the existence of one nigeria are the ones who benefit financially from it. Nigeria is due for disintergration only if will not result to war.

Indeed Berem!

shymexx: The damn piece of shyte of a country is NEVER going to work!!

Too many people with different outlook to life - there's no way you can attain your potentials with divided interests. It has never happened in the history of mankind - and it's definitely not going to happen with Nigeria!

Kpom! The whole truth! Nothing but the truth!

Can someone put the transcript up please? I couldn't understand the presenter's ibotic accent.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]If it makes your sun shine. [/color]

My sun always shine when forqers are put in their place.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Depends on how you define that. [/color]

The same way it is defined in the constitution of your country but since you've admitted to having no brain, I don't see how you'd be able to figure it out.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Speaking from experience? [/color]

If I'd had your kind of ill fate, I wouldn't have any experience to relate as there would be no brain to store the memory.

Clearly you are displaying the symptoms.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Well you make the mod stuff harder. I was wondering what died. [/color]

Wonder no more because I think it's your brain?

sexkillz: [color=#000030]What region? I have a Nigerian passport. [/color]

Fair enough, do you have a state of origin?

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Sorry, what are you trying to say pls? [/color]

At least you admit to be deficient in recognising a typo. This must be as a result of education getting to your region at a snail pace.

If you can't decipher the message then you are clearly not fit to be moderator.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]It wasn't ignored. . .

Which people are we talking about here? [/color]

Feign ignorance for all I care. I am referring to whichever backward region you crawled out of. The only ones generally known to harbour all the ill vices that can be found in existence!

Sexkid? Lying is second nature to you! I can't believe that you have the effrontery to do it to my face!

Such brazenness!

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Actually, it's shame on you.

I didn't pretend. You reported one and quoted one, so I was wondering why you didn't report the two.[/color]

Why is yi your business that I reported one and not two? Why did you ignore the one I reported in particular? You must think you're smart but I will remind you that before your people got the opportunity to see a book, mine has been receiving degrees 100 years before!

Arrant nonsense!

Bloody liar, the bloody report button died not give the option of a quote! You just type your report and that is it! Why do you find it so easy to lie like this!

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Deskid, you should have reported it like you did the other. [/color]

Oh, so now you're pretending that I didn't report it?

Not only are an irredeemable LIAR!!!

This is the one I reported! I am not surprised since I have read reports on this same thread that you tamper with people's posts as well. You are too fraudulent and extremely disingenuous to be moderating any section let alone the politics section.

Shame in you! Integrity is obviously not your favourite principle.

You deleted my reply to this post yet left his standing even though he insulted me?

You are a shameless bigoted soul, sexkid! Biased and partial but we will not stop exposing your collective stupidity! a

In your twisted mind, this is making your kinsman look good, do you let it stay.

It does actually. I take pleasure in chuckling at stup1dity.

You have my sympathy.

You clearly never knew that a non entity is something not in existence?

I suppose in your world, ghosts do write, after all sexkid has proven it here.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Immunity. [/color]

You mean: stupid1ty.

ndu_chucks: No yawa. But be sure to remove your own offending posts as well. Include the romantic dialogue you've been having with her.

I know that it is too late to tell you not to be silly.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]If your post is not a complaint, it'll be removed. [/color]

In that case your post is fit for removal
