Oya no be what some non igbo kept saying on this forum. I recalled when this argument was going on and that igbo hating bastard, tonyebarcainsta, and the rest of his rest of "we SS" crew kept screaming how etche are not igbo and do not see themselves as igbo. When I got involved in the argument considering the two igbo groups I know very well in that river state are both Etche and Oyigbo.....I was attacked and called a liar by the yolobas, hausa/fulani and the tonyebarcainsta clown.

Oya it's been almost a year since that argument and Chineke don finally VINDICATED me

I came onto an argument between ETCHE about their origins few days ago on FB. This is straight from their people Official FB gathering page. As you can notice, only one ( with maybe one or two supporting him) were the "I'm not igbo" denial while the rest of them took that one man to the cleaners till the point, he started calling only himself "bona-fide" and the rest of them are "sellouts" . His own ppl caricature of him and even some started calling him "ikwerre"

I brought this argument here because I've been VINDICATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell una so no be so. I knew etche like I know oyigbo. I lived among this people before and they reminded me so much of Asaba. Yes they have deniers but their percentage is extremely low just like Asaba. Infact, they are conceited as f2k about their Igbo heritage cause for some reason in their deluded head, growing up they used to tell me and my sibs that they are the closest to SE igbo than other igbos.

On that argument, it was literally Etche vs. Etche. The only other that comment was an igbodo guy...whom I deliberately made sure not to copy his argument with the Idaho guy (anyone wants a copy of that argument as well..let me know cause that one was hilarious as well...the igbodo guy also took him to the cleaners)

For those that do not know what igbodo is. Igbodo is in delta state. It's part of the ika community and unlike agbor, the igbodo also rarely have a igbo denier mess you see in Agbor people. Infact whenever SE attacks ika especially on this forum..I smh at una. In as much as I do not connect with ika as much especially since they starting to try and spread rumors that their Igbo denier stupidity is also found among us in other for oshmili/anoicha to get hated and attacked verbally like they do, I no trust am nor vibe with am...they are misery that wants company. Anyway, despite not all that...one thing that I do know is not all ika are igbo denier.
Infact I bet you that none of you SE is aware that the two igwes working hard to bring unity between igbo clams are Asagba of Asaba and Obi of Owa.
For those that do not know what Owa is...it's an ika community.

I keep telling SE this...you Nigga needs to STOP listening to the yolobas and hausa/fulani people. Those niggah DO NOT LIKE YOU and trying desperately to create aniomsity between una and you siblings and you niggas keep giving them space to do so. Continue to listen those clowns and all you are doing is creating problems with your families.
The Nnamdi Kanu's that you Nigga join the Yoloba and hausa/fulani to insult/mock was actually unifying Igbos incase una do not know. During the IPOB PH protest, many of the people who protested were ETCHE, followed by Egbema and Oyigbo. According to my cousin, the leader of the ipob group at that side is an etche man. Not only that, aka ikenga that uses to be specifically an ika political group whom denied igbo fpr lord knows how long now have all of a sudden going around calling themselves "igbo think tank group" and even recently made a SE their president ( a task they never done. EVER!!! before ). The reason they tried to shut him up is because that kanu guy was demolishing their divide and rule one by one and lo behold some deluded SE have joined the bandwagon to try and shut him up. I smfh at you.

Continue to listen to them....the reason they try to create this aniomsity is because igbo contribute the most in that country. Incase una do not know Etche, Egbema and Oyigbo are all oil producing areas of River state and all producing some of the largest. You then include imo, Abia and anambra plus anioma. You've done more that this country than that shithole has done for una yet you lots continue to listen to the clowns that's on your necks and ignore your brethren from that side letting una know to Stop listening to am..

Anyway, make I stop. Read and weep...I've been VINDICATED.

Btw: Abagworo is also NOT una friend. That's another person you lots should ignore

A slave would always be a slave so what do we expect from the southwaasste mechanic pretending to be an engineer. To lick the ass of hausa/fulani is inherited.

Obviously the mechanic would support a fellow dropout and certificate forger

Real2020:
Afonja will die of envy one day. This people thinks Igbos are their mate...SMH.

NA inferiority complex they worry am.

They've accredited themselves self deluded statements such as "most educated, most developed, most sophisticated", etc and till date, non yoloba do not listen or even accredited them those delusions they self claimed.
The tribe they've been trying so desperately to tell everybody is backwards is constantly getting praised by both Africans and non Africans.

Like I always say..if you are good, no need to shout..others will notice without you shouting. If you ain't shit but delude yourself that you are the shit, nobody will notice instead it is you that would keep trying to tell everyone how you're "most educated, most sophisticated, among other BS"
Abeg give am space to hate and wail. It's expected

Yoloba hating as usual.

Never seen a tribe with such inferiority complex. Tufiakwa!!!
Must truly suck to be yoloba.

@ Ben
We know but we are better off without your Nigeria. That shithole is a curse on earth. The rest of una might want to stay in that cursed and sink with it. Igbos are smart enough to know when to jump ship and not go down under with a shithole

P0intBlank:
Nice Reply. I saw Ritchiee's post and wondered how he arrived at his conclusion "YOU ARE A LIAR OR ILLITERATE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT YORUBA LEADS IN TECHNOLOGY AS WE SPEAK".

I sent him this link http://nlipw.com/in-honor-of-wipo-day-10-nigeria-inventors/. I expected a response but he carefully ignored it. If his assertions were true, I would have expected them to dominate a list of Nigeria Inventors YOU SHOULD KNOW. The initial list had 16 notable inventors but it was later modified to include 5 more. On this list they are 9 Igbos and 5 Yorubas.

No one can categorically say one tribe is better in technology than the other without exhaustive facts. For him to base his statement on 4 or 5 inventions is presumptuous to say the least. Importantly, He doesn't have put other people down just to make himself (or his people) look better. Our successes are not mutually exclusive.

That Ritchiee has the BIGGEST inferiority complex I've ever seen. Like anytime, and I mean EVERY time igbo are praised be it educational, technological, etc by non Igbo. He's there trying to compare dicks, screaming how it should be yoloba that should be praised and next thing we see, he'll start posting crap to measure Dicks. It's hilarious but sad as well. I actually feel very sorry for the dude. Like my freaking prayer, seriously my prayer for the dude is one day a non yoruba would praise yoruba in something cause in his case, he desperately desperately DESPERATELY needs it. Like he's attitude just makes you feel sorry for him
As for the bold...exactly. the funniest of it all, he uses others achievement to try to make himself feel good ( just sad).


Anyway, as for the rest of your post...imagine. The funny thing is if you look at the list, you'll see the igbo inventors even have more patent than their yoloba counterparts on that list. Imagine if they get enough funding to make their patents a reality, then damn

See ipob pain and sorrow essay....Ndo.

Chai IPOB has made this one mad.
In almost every post he makes na ipob, ipob, ipob he writes like a mad woman running naked in the market square.

Okowa is an idiot. Till date, I heard that man is not doing anything but languishing in the state house. I swear that man is just a complete utter buffoon.

I hope she's smart enough not to do it. I hope she enjoys working outside of that shithole and let them suffer their "messiah buhari" as thy were calling him while attacking her.

NOI please leave them to rot. Biko.

While I'm at it, I do agree with the first guy's post. It's always igbo politicians that wants to act one nigeria by helping that nation and neglecting home.

Real2020:
Ahithophels aka afonjas wanted Kemi there as their own Iweala not minding she is not qualified...always dragging feet, fingers and phallic symbols with Igbos as if Igbos are their mate. You see them in Biaffran Invention thread doing the same. The kind of insults Igbos have received in this country cannot be expressed enough. The irony of all these is Igbos want to be left alone in their own country, these afonjas refused, they hide under One Nigeria...uneven playing field and marginalization, and propaganda to drag feet with Igbos.

Funniest thing is yolobas have never actually been good in finance.
I was told and even read After the Biafra war, almost every federal company were handed to them....many were growing at that time and they liquiated those companies, majority closed down in a very short period of time and the ones that managed to survive became some piece of shit.

As for the rest of your post, Nwoke tell me about it. For some reason those yolobas are desperate to be seen as Igbo mates. Whenever none igbos praise Igbos like they usually do, the yolobas migrate to the thread to whin and scream how they are better and it is them that should be praised. What a comical bunch. Something I always say is....if you are Good as you think you are, you don't need to push it on others face for them to notice, people would notice but if you suck, noone would notice and only you will be blowing your trumpet and screaming "notice me" (so far yolobas have proven me right). Their desperation to be noticed is sad and hilarious as Bleep to me. Their jealousy is hilarious as hell because despite it all, they've yet to made a dent in any of their attempt to diminish Igbo advancement. Case in point: Phillip Emegweali. Despite yolobas started the rumors about him being fake (let's not forget the first people to call him a fraud was saharareporters), anyway, despite it all, the dude is still winning awards for his invention. I literally took a computer engineering course this summer to use as requirement for elective course. The textbook we used in that course still mentioned Phillip Emegwali. Our professor even lectured about him in class. I found it hilarious that despite yolobas effort, they've not made ONE SINGLE DENT in his reputation. He is still uplifted in the industry he works in. That's hilarious to me to be honest. Like recently, they literally posted a comment about something called "Proforce". Ironically enough, when googled, the individual is doing the same thing innosun is doing except he's unpopular and most of his products are in my opinion mediocre. But none the less, they try to pass him off as "manufacturer" yet it's the same lots that kept hating on insussons inventions and even pathetically took it up a notch to claim "he assemble car with chinese part".
Yolobas envy of Igbos is so pathetic.

truthalways:
Google pro force nigeria

I just did and all seen, let me use the yoloba voice when jealousy of innosun's , "An assembly company using parts imported from china trying to mask itself off as a manufacturing company.

Why did you prefer manufacturing to importing?

I have passion for innovation. As an engineer, I do not believe that trading is the way forward. Engineers believe that trading does not build the economy of any country; it is through innovative manufacturing and application of the latest technology. Manufacturing is the heartbeat of any economy; without manufacturing, the economy will be stagnant and may collapse under global market pressures. Trading is just a short-term engagement; manufacturing is long-term.

You can imagine the amount of joy you have when you see your products in other countries all over the world. It enhances Nigeria’s good image all over the world.

AND MANY MORE.LET US SEE YOURS

Nigga, wy would I lie about a TOPIC LINK THERE FOR ALL TO SEE. You lots did NOTHING but deluded yourself as you are know to do with screaming of how you're ICT advanced in the country and the none yolobas mocked the living shit out of una. Similar to how you lots self deluded an self claimed "most educated", "most developed", "most sophisificated" with nothing to back una up on. The inferiority complex of you yolobas is ridiculously high till the point it's in psychological level. No f2king wonder you lots are desperate for others to tout your horn and NOBODY have ever done it.

Is this the so called "70% Yoloba ICT" you kept screaming about? Are you for real? The most hilarious of it all is the drone guy. Going by the picture, it's beyond obvious this is your typical drone bought online that you have to assemble and this mofo is trying to imply he "made it".
In addition to the "Amphibian jet car"..nigga, ARE YOU STUPID? Infact, I triple dare you, post a video or anything where you someone driving that. Hell post a video of the "creator" testing that car..I dare you.

If that's the shit that's supposed 70% Yoloba ICT then no wonder you've been desperate for attention in any igbo threads where none igbos praise igbos. No f2king wonder.

If you consider those shit up there as "inventions that made yoloba 70% ICT crap" , we might as well consider all these from Igbo boys that has not even graduated from high school and some are still in primary school as " "inventions that made igbo 70% ICT crap". What a joke

BTW: the only decent thing you posted up there worthwhile is the smartphone individual and that's nothing at that. Anyone with a computer engineering degree can manufacture a freaking phone. Hell I have a freaking classmate who uses a smartphone he made himself from scratch.
It's like me posting this
http://guardian.ng/news/apple-buys-a-nigerian-owned-ict-firm-for-1-billion/
and thumbing my chest as "Igbo proof of being technological advance".

Your inferiority complex and desperation to be ego stroked is Hilarious but sad at the same time to watch.

While Igbos are saying Dr. Samuel Achilefu that invented a cancer goggles and even won awards on it, this one is here showing me a jet car that noone has ever seen driving before and a dude trying to pass off drones he bought as something he made.

I'm going to ask it again, how come your government ran to a car manufacturing company to help it's military than going to the "70% Yoloba ICT"? How come NOBODY has ever talked about the so called "70% Yoloba ICT"?

Substituting credible and documented history with one man's silly and irrelevant opinion is idiocy...

do you wanna tell me the yorubas have no rights to defend themselfes??...

Prior to kanu, you shithole yoloba was wishing for death of Massob member.

Infact you Savage , it was actually YOLOBA that made nnamdi hate their ass. He used to be a member of massob, do you think watching a tribe applaud the death of your peopls and wishing more death on them including you, you would end up loving those clowns


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS6HitcBPxQ
Here's a video of that same Nnamdi Kanu in year 2012 asking for the government to protect all nigerians, not just Igbos, but ALL.

What changed from 2012 to 2015 that he now despise you lots? Oh I don't know maybe reading the multiple threads where you Nigga kept wishing more death of an igbo group who did not do sh1t to them

As I said before: mention ONE thing Massob did to yorubas that you lots applauded their death and wished more death in them. Name ONE thing.

eduj:
the bone of contention here isn't which ethnic group is a majority in naijas ICT sector on the contrary ,the debate is how advanced our ICT sector is .No matter what we state here on nairaland ,it won't change the status quo out their hence let's agree to disagree on that point.

Dude you should have opened both threads. They actually provided ZERO evidence of Yoloba so called ICT on both threads. All you had was them screaming the dominate the TV sector, computer sector, blah blah and people mocking them for it.

I keep saying it, yoloba dominate the ICT sector of Nigeria yet NONE have heard or seem any technology creation by them. Even at that, the government had to go to a guy that deals with car to help them build Aviation parts when they have the "70% ICT yolobas" they could have gone to

The grand delusional of Yoloba is hilarious. That Ritchiee one has it worse cause it's mixed with inferiority complex

aresa:
Slow your role, I was here too and it was the other way around.

1. Tribalism on NL was started by ibo on NL and Yoruba people used to ignore your tribal insults till like 2-3 years ago when they stopped turning the other cheek for you to insult.


2. Tribalism in Nigeria is strictly an ibo thing and it started way way before independence when hatred for Yoruba people made Zik/ibo man teamed up with the North against wisdom for such action by the rest of the South.

3. The first coup, bloodshed and National violence was introduce by ibo man when they tribally slaughtered military and political readers from from the North and SW.

4. Yoruba and Hausa people after the coup and loss did not do anything and in fact they gave power to an ibo man as the new head of state, but what did he do, he played the same ibo tribalism by refusing to punish the coup plotters and sadistic killers, he dd not even slap them on the wrist because they were ibo and this is what led to the violence against ibo people in the North

5. Our regional autonomy and system of government was terminated by ibo man when he abolished regional system of government and finally put us all in the same basket with power moved to the center instead of the states and regions.

6. Achebe spewed hatred and tribalism till his last breath and straight into his grave with his hate book...


Nigeria is what it is today because of hatred and ibo tribalism and tribal ways and their tribal was is still on full display till this very second hence still languishing in the wilderness with zero social, political and economic power and alliance..


You are basically reaping what you sow and have been sowing since way before independence...

1.) Yolobas started the tribalism in NL. Infact it was so severe, your first victims which in that case was northerners ran out of NL because of it. It was that bad that when the list of FBI most made NL and the names were all yoloba, the only hausa boy left at that time insulted, degraded and you lots when confronted and cautioned by others, his only reply was among the line of "they did that to us." Do you need the link to that cause I'll be more than happy to provide it.
After the northerners left, you turned your tribalistic ads to Igbos but unlike north, Igbos took una heads on and more showed up. Pretty much the same way you lots have turned your tribalistic eyes to ijaws was the exact same shit you did to igbos.

As for the rest of your crap, why argue when I can quote non Igbos opinion on it

Let's see who others believe brought in tribalism in Nigerian politics.

North
Reference:SLS [ yorubas are the problem of Nigeria]

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.

When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.

Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.
I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.

Both the AG, a creation of Egbe Omo Oduduwa, and the Northern Peoples’ Congress (NPC), were founded to promote Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani interests respectively. That the NCNC later became to be perceived as an ‘Igbo’ party was not entirely the design of Igbo political elites, but rather the machinations of some powerful Yoruba nationalists who did not cherish the notion of an Igbo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, becoming the premier of Western Nigeria.

As the leader of the NCNC, Azikiwe was to be the first premier of Western Nigeria following the elections of 1951, with Obafemi Awolowo, a Yoruba, the leader of the AG, as the leader of the opposition in the House of Assembly. It should be recalled, with profound sadness, that prominent Yoruba traditional leaders and political elites exerted pressure on a number of Yorubas elected on the NCNC platform to "cross carpet" in the House and join the AG, in order to deny Azikiwe the premiership in favour of Awolowo. The concept of "carpet crossing" was thus introduced into Nigerian political discourse. Azikiwe had assumed the leadership of the NCNC following the death of Herbert Macaulay, a Yoruba. There would have been no basis for "carpet crossing" if Macaulay, and not Azikiwe, were elected premier of the West on the NCNC platform in 1951.


As a result of this blatant injection of ethnicism into Nigerian politics, Azikiwe was compelled to "return home" to the East where he became the premier of the government. It is safe to postulate that, were it not for this event, the post 1951 development of Nigerian politics could have been spared much of the instability and crisis the country has experienced. This was a vital turning point in the political history of contemporary Nigeria. It helped to influence most Igbos to seek political shelter in the NCNC, just as the AG became privatized by most Yorubas, and the Hausa-Fulani political elites sought comfort in the NPC.

As you lots brought in tribalism on NL and asee well control the tribalistic forums of that country is exactly the same way you lots brought in tribalism in N8ferian politics.

You lots oozes tribalism.

Stingman:
Is Anioma a tribe? Tell us your tribe? What does Anioma mean in your language?

He's ika most likely.

You guys should allow some people choose what they want

I'm Anioma and I classify myself as igbo. He's an anioma and classify himself non igbo. Accept it and move on.

SaffronSpice:
Do so.

I'll ever do better.

Here's a thread in year 2012 discussing what started tribalism on NL. Peep the lots that were actually rejoicing about the tribalism
https://www.nairaland.com/897201/tribalism-nairaland-affected-negatively/5

Lastly, here's a screenshot of a yoloba that wished the genocide of igbo during GEJ election.

The last two after the election.

As I've told una before provide ONE igbo that EVER did that, just one

sukkot:
its a BIG LIE. tell the truth and shame the devil. yorubas are the most accomodating tribe in nigeria. listen a white man observed nigerians for 20 years. i forget his name now. this were his words, not verbatim ' he said the hausas and igbos are extremists and very temperamental people but the yorubas are the tribe who glue the country together because they are friendly and non temperamental and not extremists ' <<< the words of a white man studying nigerians for two decades and doing research on the peoples of nigeria. point being the yorubas are not capable of hate. they are happy people. they only hate you if you hate them.

Who the Bleep is lying here. What accommodating are you talking about. We see articles of you yolobas harassment of non-indigienous in your land. Infact most tribal fights that occurred in your region between una and non yorubas have all been your people harassment of other tribes.
Hell you Nigga invade igbo traders shop almost of daily basis trying to collect illegal taxes and when they refuse, it result to fights..after they beat you up, you people come to steal from them or vandalized their shop during the middle of the night...that's accommodation right?
Heck, several Years ago you lots threw beans at hausa traders in ibadan all because of increase of food prices that was national. ...that's accommodation right.
Recently, you lots accused the ijaws lIrving within your midst of militant activities in your land and even wished death on them..when it was exposed that the militants were indeed yoloba, not once have you lots apologized, infact you still go around accusing them despite the truth surfaced...that's accommodation right.
F2k out of here.

Your accommodating yet your people are the ones that own the two most tribalistic forum or blog on the Web.
Go to bellanaija, Linda Ikeja blog, that hausa boy's blog, that ibibio chick ( I forgot the name of the blog), despite being popular and equally based in Nigeria, the amount of tribalism found in their site is BEYOND limited.... yet you claim "we, yorubas, are accommodating".

Hell in my asaba you Nigga are packed there, how many times have you read you people are harassed the same way you lots Harris non yorubas living among your midst. How many times?

Lastly, did you people on NL not rejoice whenever Igbos were killed up North? Yes or No?
In year 2011 during the election loss kill by the North, weren't you people the lots that rejoiced when you thought the victims were igbo. When exposed that you had a significant number of members in that victim list, that's when you lots found your humanity gene again.
Likewise the same thing during the Abuja bombing plus the miss world killing.

Before the existance of IPOB, Let's not forget you lots rejoice EACH time massob members were reported killed. What prompt it especially considering massob members was a group that never once spoke ill about una. Oh that's right, because they are igbo.

Hell you lots were the most outspoken in demanding for genocide of igbo during the biafra war... someone even made an NL post providing several quotes and links to prove it. Someone please post the link of that thread here so the 'most accomdating' lots can come and screech to us why they lie about igbos reaction to GEJ lose is what made them hateful

Pylony:
Historically true the igbos were advancede in Education back then, but the drop the Glory to the Yorubas. And after the Civil war many turn to trade. I believe this indicates that war do not help any one at the end.

What glory dropped.
Do you even check the statistics of education of that country? Yolobas are lacking behind in education. Infact some of your state's are head in head with north
The most educated are both SE and SS, not SW.

sukkot:
[b]oh you think the hate experienced in this thread has to be ignited by this thread alone ? bro its the hate of 2 whole years of yoruba torment by igbos over the jonathan election loss and prior. once you ignite a people to start hating on you that shyttt never stops. its like a button that you have switched on and it never switches off. now yoruba is like a rampaging lion seeking every igbo to devour lolzz. they will look for any thread with igbo names to seek and go devour. the torch has being lit, you cant quench it again bro.

am i a tribalist ? i cant lie, nairaland has corrupted me to be an online tribal warrior but for me its just online fun. i dont spend my life hating my own brothers ( i consider igbos as my brothers ). my hate is reserved for the white man who has destroyed all black civilizations and enslaved us and colonized us and lynched our brothers in america and called us savages and monkeys and unfair trade and exploit our resources. thats my enemy. not my igbo brothers. [/b]

Will you shut that your misrable lying mouth I've v been on NL some 2012 and the hate started from YOLOBA. Hell both website ran by yolobas, aka naijapals and nairaland, are both tribalistic den. Ironically enough the same can't be said on any site ran by any other tribes in Nigeria including hilariously enough a North aka that hausa boy's blog.


You mofos have displayed hatred towards igbo since the creation of NL, infact MAJORITY of Igbos that hate you lots, myself inclided, we're turned tribalists because of you animals and all that happened before GEJ lose. And I can back up Everything I just said with quotes dating all the way back to 2012.


Hell even the Nnamdi Kanu's that you misenable rats masterbate over was equally made a tribalists by you lots, not the other way around. After all, in year 2011 he was video taped fighting for all Nigerian...fast forward to year 2015 and he Hayes una with passion. What changed? Oh I don't know maybe the fact your worthless tribe rejoiced each time massob Myers were killed by the security force. Who the f2k that claims to "love you" applauds your death.

Do not come here and spread some Bullshit lie because theory are some of us that's been a member on NL and seen who started the tribalism on this forum.

Ritchiee:
lol...Computer village...this guy no go kill person.Go and ask people wey dey educated and don't beleive tales by moonlight wey una dey tell una sef for township meetings.Yorubas control 70% ICT in Nigeria..

[size=14pt]ROTFLMFAO[/size]

Yoruba control ICT of Nigeria and yet Nigerians haven't seen shit to back it up.

You must have meant ICA or ICO aka information Center of Amala or information of Owambe

Your inferiority complex and desperation for yoloba to be noticed and praised is seriously making you deluded.

Answer his question. Back it up with data.

Hell even in this day of age, it's innosun that's currently building weaponry for your shithole Nigeria after the British played your governmemt Maga.
How come it wasn't the 70% ICT yoloba.

What a laughable joke you yolobas are.

Akpan107:
You are such a frustrated ignorant... Igbos hate Ijaws but love Jonathan, is Gej an igbo man. there's no State in Nigeria Igbos have not invested billions of naira into! you're still talking of hate here.

You dey mind am. They can't seem to keep their head straight.

It's how they constantly defending Buhari and when every body mention they are the only southern group licking his ass..they'll instantly start calling FFK and Fayose name..ironically the two they insult and attack here.

Let's not forget they rejoiced when they thought the military is invading Ijaw community and killing them..they even prompted for more of it.
They equally did the same thing when they thought the militants killed in southwaaste was Ijaws..immediately it was discovered they were yolobas..how many did we see rejoice their death again?

Oh but they love Ijaws

One thing I've noticed is yoloba are crying because no group in South seems to like them anymore excluding maybe Benin so they are desperately trying to get the "igbo hates us and everybody else" spread. It gotta suck to be yoloba, trying desperately to copy the North divide and rule and failing woefully at it.

Watch I actually expect a yoloba to reply this post saying "We SS or We ND loves yoloba but hate igbo". I bet you a 1000 that's gonna happen.
