BoboNkiti19: It may seem so, but when you scratch the surface of this so called "tolerance" and dig deeper... you will unearth a deep seething distrust (I wouldn't say hatred as the language and tribe always manages to give Yorubas of different religious backgrounds some semblance of unity), but some animosity sure does exist among Yorubas of different religions.
I will use this real life experience as my example, I work with two Yorubas, one lady from Ekiti who is Christian, a core Redeemed goer. The other one is from Oyo state, and he's a Muslim at least from his name (Azeez). Those two no dey take eyes see each other, they only communicate in Yoruba just for the sake of it, but once the Azeez fellow clocks out and I work with the Ekiti lady... she openly spites the guy and doesn't hide her disdain for him (for reasons best known to her), although she has on occasions dropped some hints that suggests she doesn't really like him cause he's a Muslim.
The Yoruba girl I used to date always got very ANGRY whenever I joked about converting to Islam, she even made it clear in no uncertain terms that she won't raise her kids with a Muslim guy.
Now maybe these two scenarios among several experiences I have seen similar to my work colleagues are too miniscule to mean much in the larger scheme of things... but you will be absolutely fooling to think some degree of mutual disdain and distrust doesn't exist among Yorubas of different faiths- particularly the Christians and Muslims... I don't know much about the traditional worshippers.
GBOKASINCHA: lol igbos no get time to Dey dick measure with them.....inferiority complex wan kill them...this thread na because of the influential igbos wey make front page days back...besides Yoruba thread no Dey sell market reach Igbo for nairaland ....that’s why the thread Dey boring
I didn't read where they ever mention igbo on this thread ex pet for when you brought your bile and pain to the thread. The question is, why are you so insecure and pain about this thread. You are taking about thread where majority of those on it are from SS.
tungamaje: I read here on Nairaland that Banjo a Yoruba man led the Biafran troops heading to Lagos. As he approached Ore, he cowardly turned back without firing a shot
Banjo and his team moved quickly. He was able to capture Benin City in less than 24 hours. By the time his division took a break, he and his soldiers were able to get within 300 kilometres of the Nigerian capital Lagos. Something changed when they tried to enter Lagos. The Biafran offensive on Lagos started heavily and with purpose. Reports of that time say it moved at a “lighting quick speed” but midway, Banjo, along with his fellow commanders, Okonkwo and Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna stopped and turned their army back to Biafra. On getting back to Biafra, Ojukwu had the soldiers detained.
So in your dummy mind, he should be stupid enough to go and fight his people, to go and disturb the peace of his people. You thing everyone will be stupid as your ojukwu and your race.
Banjo is not a bastard and he proofed it. Why didn't you face kano then.
tungamaje: But you claimed Yorubas didn't attack Igbos. But here you admit they bombed a casino in Lagos and killed innocent Yoruba civillians. Then it follows that Yorubas must have attacked Igbos though maybe out of revenge. However I haven;t read your answer to the OP's question. According to him Nigerians are helpless over the atrocities being committed by Fulani herdsmen. How would you react if these killings were perpetrated by the Igbos, that's his question
Keep quite with your junks. You claimed yorubas attacked igbos and massacred you. We asked for the proof, you said Achebe took the account of it, we ask you to provide the pictorial evidence from his tale abi he no get camera then. Your achebe should have provided you convincing evidence and show it to the world the way you are showing those that happened in the north.
But no, it is just normal ranting.
Which worthless question. Are yorubas the ones killing you in your own land.
If it is igbo, then I would have massacred you and your parents na, because that is how daft you think people are.
If it is yorubas, what would you have done too, answer that.
mightyhazell: which yorobaman.. sb that was marked for execution by the fulani authorities. I tot this childish lie had been busted wide open on this forum severally
Were you the one that marked him. He died protecting your brother. That is the main truth.
horsepower102: Where is the investigative report that shows it was biafrans? Please show me the report. Dont you think that northern soldiers could have done it to solidify the hearts of south westerners against biafra. That way they can gain total support.
Why would biafrans kill yoruba civillians in lagos but give safe passage to the ones in the east. Your video evidence isn't convincing.
Coward shut up.
I have shown you one with video. Until you show me and proof to me that yorubas massacred you online braves, I won't entertain any worthless question from you.
No amount of defence can save your people atrocities.
You people can wail all you like, no one cares cos you deserved what you got.
The minorities came out and exposed you people. Yet, they are not crying victim.
We have the record of your atrocities.
See him, victim crier, trying to shift what is glaring on northerner.
When they are buzzed to the corner, they shift blame. Spit. My video proof isn't convincing, but achebe's tale full of lies with no tangible proof is the one that is convincing. What an osu brain.
I have proofed to you. Proof to me that yoruba massacred you. Proof to me that ojukwu gave passage away to yorubas in the east.
I don't entertain cook and bull stories, I deal with fact.
So when you can proof that yorubas massacred you, I will give you the second one you asked for.
horsepower102: Show me the historical documents and the evidence pointing to the perpetrators. Other than that, I wont respond to your series of insults.
See twisting and running away.
Mumu coward. When you created the thread, I thought you have something upstairs to debate.
You are asking me to show you historical. I don't need that, I will show you the proof.
But before then, why distressing coward. Why not show us the proof how yorubas massacred your brave people.
Don't run away, come back if you are bold enough.
Here is the video of the after the bombing.
Show us the proof that yorubas massacred you people.
StaffofOrayan: Your main topic is what if it was Igbo's that were killing Nigerians To answer that, I would remind u when OBJ a Yoruba man ordered shoot on sight on all OPC members. Perhaps u r too young to remember,
Ojukwu declared Biafra u liar Why else would Azikiwe call him a REBEL?
horsepower102: The middlebelters were desperate to show their loyalty to Core Northerners at that time. Plus Gowan was from the middlebelt so they considered anyone who was against their son an enemy.
But maybe they have learnt their lessons. Time will tell.
Reply me and don't run.
Did your father and achebe also give you account of how you people bombed casino cinema in lagos, killing innocent yorubas and children?
Fantasticcc: So angry right now but remember what they say "first to do no dey pain na second to do go pain pass" it will soon be pay back time and then they will understand why even the whites feared the Igbo's,no pity pure revenge.my fellow Igbo's agitate for igbo country and get it by any means that's the only hope for the great igbo race,because nigerians are like the Congolese cursed and can never be united/grow. Never even knew the Yoruba's also participated in the killing of Igbo's before the war.
Did your father refuse to show you the proof after telling you the lies.
Did he also tell you how your people bombed casino cinema, killing innocent yorubas.
Don't mind the mumu. Their fathers that told them the lies didn't remember to tell them how they bombed casino cinema in lagos, killing innocent yoruba men, women and children.
horsepower102: This is not true, Chinua Achebe made accounts of killings happening in the south west. That was the reason a lot of Igbos in the west also fled for their lives.
A friend of mine mother who was in lagos then witnessed the killings of igbos in her neighborhood then. She even saw a pregnant Igbo woman slaughtered in her street in lagos. Some Yorubas participated in the killings of Igbos.
I will take you serious if you can wake your achebe up from his grave to come and show us the proof of how yorubas were massacring igbos. Are they not coward again. So how coward massacre brave is a mystery to me.
