successmatters:
Each time the igbo try to forget, it will take a stupid action like a first class oba threatening publicly to drown a tribe in the lagoon to make us remember that 1967-70 is still here with us.

I agree with you that it takes only an "unguarded statement" to inflame passions.

But could it be that the Oba was speaking in a larger than life metaphor?
I am surprised and still wondering, if the statement was to be interpreted literally, why would the Igbos present in "life and blood" be applauding the Oba at that event?

It cant be out of fear as some would think because l dont see the Oba picking them up and dumping them into the Lagoon right there in front of Cameras?
So, the explanation does not seem logical, IMO.

....and by the way, there was an apology on behalf of Kabiyesi (who by tradition, is beyond apologising to any mortal! grin

) and being just one person, how could the whole Yoruba Nation become an enemy on that account?

Thanks for your opinion on the issues

logica:
There has been a wrong use of terms which I believe started with the Sardauna (Ahmadu Bello).

When you speak of "dominate", what comes to mind is like the Barcelona FC team of present. They dominate. And why do they dominate? Because they are head and shoulders above all other teams.

On the other hand, what the Igbo as a group tended to do is called amassing. Like a crowd of piranha on a hapless goat.

Everyone knew they (the Igbos) had most to gain from the Nigerian contraption. For instance, Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani had been interacting way back since the 15th Century. The Igbos had been isolated for so long till the Oyinbos came along to build bridges connecting them to the South West and North. So they suddenly developed a wanderlust and wanted to spread across the country. Meanwhile Yorubas and Hausas who had wanderlust were already old, tired or dead so not many were engaging in such travel. But it was the behavior of the surjourners in their various host lands that was ultimately their undoing.

This got me laughing unexpectedly that l spilled my tea! grin

A few Northerners l have spoken with over the years, all say the same thing: These guests of ours are "brazenly usurping" in their general nature.
I noticed that not a single Igbo responder had addressed this particular issue.
Does it appear to remind one of the "We own Lagos" claims that also angered Yorubas, in recent times?
Does such attitude breed resentment within the host community?

Igbos, let us dissect this issue with honesty of purpose.

Thanks for your opinion.

I am happy that Igbos and Yorubas are seeing so much reasons why there should be peace. We need Igbo/Yoruba unity to achieve growth in this country. I think we all should allow the events of 1967-70 behind us and forge a new phase of our relationship.

God Bless the BIG THREE (Igbo-Yoruba-Hausa)! God bless the other ethnic minorities(but equal in Nigeria). Most importantly, God Bless the Great Ijaw Nation.

Yorubas care about tribe, they are the most tribalistic group in Nigeria. Have u seen any King in Nigeria before threaten to murder and dump an entire tribe in Lagos Lagoon? Yoruba Lagos Oba did right in the presence of igbo dignitary and his guest.

After threatening us, they create a thread to settle difference with our corpse or ghost. Yorubas should go and die.

Did that stop the tribal bigots from posting on that thread? And you use of the phrase "NEVER" seems strange. lipsrsealed

I think there is this particular Igbo Mod in this Politics section that is responsible for stoking most of the Bigotry.
As a Mod, when you see it coming, you stamp it out and immediately issue a warning, whether it is by a Yoruba or Igbo but she will let it fly if it is started by an Igbo but once a Yoruba responds, she will ban that Yoruba poster and erase their post! grin

That is very childish and silly IMO, but the blame lies with Seun who cannot properly vet and at times double-check his Mods!

logica:
Akintola once referred to the University of Ibadan in which the Igbo VC elected to employ 109 Igbos and just 3 Yorubas right there in the Yoruba heartland. He mentioned this in a video aptly titled "Idi wahala laarin Yoruba ati Igbo". Now you think of it; what manner of a person can be so brazenly nepotistic? You bring a stranger into your house in the name of "Pan Africanism", then rather than feed your children, he starts taking your food to the land he came from. That person takes you for a great f0ol and has no iota of regard for you; neither does he know what decorum is.

That summarizes the problem. It goes beyond the civil war. It was there before the civil war, and it remained after.

Hmmm.... reality can be very daunting at times!

Can any Igbo comment on this fact of history?
Is this right? Should it be so? Is it a "one-off" thingy or a general trait?
Was this kind of behaviour, which l referred to in my original post as "Aggressiveness", what the hausas also detest back then, before Auiyi Ironsi took on himself to purge them of their political and military elites, by killing all of them?
Has that attitude changed, as of today in 2015

These are just questions l want us to address, as part of the "honest truth and reconciliation" we seek.

I think nobody should forget history, else it may repeat itself again.
What happened during the civil war was really something that will continue to live in the minds of every igbo, it was a genocide in all its entirety. Igbos were killed even in the army by their fellow hausa soldiers.All they wanted was self determination. So many countries have done it and still doing it.

Looking at Nigeria today, I honestly pray we survive yet another 4 years.Our leaders are greedy and selfish. If the marriage isn't working, there should be a divorce.

Looking back at the horror of those civil war years, it's effect et al, and the igbos still insist on biafra, why not give it to them?

Is that the genesis of the PROBLEM..... or just the AFTER-EFFECTS?
How come none of the Igbos want to talk about what the Aguiyi Ironsi and his Igbo Soldiers, did to the Northern Political and MIlitary Elite, FIRST?
If you can address issues honestly, how will you be able to "solve and reconcile" them?

This topic is not about re-instating Biafra! There are too many topics on that already.
We are trying to "HONESTLY" look at working at what went wrong and "solutions"

I read a thread by one of our Igbo brothers, linked here
Let us settle our differences, Igbo group tells Lagosians: https://www.nairaland.com/2450640/lets-settle-differences-igbo-group.
I think this is a very heart-warming and credible effort on the part of the group.

I have decided to create this response, as a way forward on the issue.
The idea is to "TRY" to explain things from the point of view of a Yoruba person so that once we know what the issues are, we can begin to iron them out.

[quote Author=Lastpage]Generally, l think the "yabbis" we post on Nairaland is just a way of 'venting' and does not actually represent how we actually "feel and relate" with ourselves in real life.
I for one , do not carry it into the real world but then, we can make the relationship better, if we really want that, by working at it.

We are not at "war" but a BETTER RELATIONSHIP between Igbos and Yorubas can (and will) only be achieved if we start with HONESTY of PURPOSE and address the "historic root of dislike" between us, as it relates to the Civil War.

In particular:
1.) That the killings between the Hausas and Igbos "aggravated" as a result of Nigeria's first bloody coup led by Aguiyi Ironsi.
There had been 'pockets of discontent' between the two hitherto, as the Northern Muslim is not renowned for being very tolerant, especially of an aggressive guest as the business-oriented igbos living in the North, turned out to be. An Huasa "reprisal coup" lead to Aguiyi ironsi's death later. This is the genesis of the Civil war, in one paragraph.

2.) That the Yorubas made it known to Ojukwu that they were not ready to go into a secession war as at that time because they were not ready militarily, were already surrounded by Northern populated military garrisons and to go to war at that point will be sheer suicide
Every leader has a 'right and duty' to protect the survival of its people, you will agree. Awolowo did just that

3.) That Ojukwu unilaterally declared secession (whether that was the best and only option at that point is left to Igbos to contemplate) and expected Yorubas to follow despite our clear objections and ill-preparedness

4.) That Yorubas despite being part and parcel of Nigeria, stood aloof and did not actively participate in the Biafran Civil war, despite Lagos being the centre of Government. Yorubas were 'initially neutral' as the fight was basically between Igbos and Northerners.

5.) That Ojukwu in his military 'calculations and strategy', tried to force Yorubas into the war, thinking he was trying to open a second front and thereby 'stretch' the Nigerian Army. He also wanted a psychological blow on the federal govt by attacking Lagos. As a kid, l remember him attacking and bombing the Casino Cinema, at Alagomeji, in Lagos mainland.

6.) That for almost two years, Yorubas were reluctant to react to such provocations as we felt he should have directed his bomb "Northwards" since we hold no grudge against Igbos.

7.) That the 'final straw that broke the camel's back' was when Ojukwu's army attacked, as far as Oore town (current Ondo state, just before Ijebu-Ode) and Yorubas felt his intention was to destroy Yoruba lands, as he has done to Benin kingdom!

8.) That the Yorubas had no choice than to "defend and protect" their land, just as we would expect Igbos to do, if attacked.
Yorubas at that point, joined the war and the rest as the say, is HISTORY. In war, there are no winners and anything to achieve victory is on the table. Our sympathy to all those who lost their lives on both sides.

9.) That the Igbos WRONGLY blamed Yorubas for their failure in the secession bid despite the fact that we only defended our land, when attacked, as any other nation would do.

10.) That Igbo parents see the above as a convenient excuse to tell their folks(That Yorubas made them lose the war), in a face-saving effort, when kids ask the question: But did you not realize that you could not win the war against North and S/West together?
This in-turn, fueled hatred, over subsequent generations. the result of which we experience in 2015!

11. That despite all these, the Yorubas have always shown "open arms" to Igbos and other tribes of Nigeria as we are a very hospitable people.
Our war effort was about our own survival as a Nation ...and after the war, we were willing to show the same disposition, as we had always shown to Igbos, before the war.

12.) That Igbos have since taken our 'hospitality and reluctance to resort to violence', as a sign of weakness and they do not think before calling us "cowards, to our face" but we make bold to say that no Nation is entirely a coward; it is just that our "risk aversion or risk threshold" are different. As Yorubas, we believe that we can solve most problems without recourse to violence. We think Violence should not be the first option, rather, "sound and logical brain-storming" is our hallmark.

13.) That Igbos have always adopted a confrontational and insulting posture, when it comes to discussing Yorubas, even within Yoruba enclaves. Such examples of provocative statements need not be repeated here though Yorubas have been known to reply in-kind, when provoked.

14.) That Peace between Nationalities is only achievable where there is mutual respect. A situation where one calls his host "Coward" or boast that they will overtake them on their ancestral land, reeks of arrogance and provocation.

15.) That Yorubas are first and foremost, Peace-loving people, intelligent and proud of who they are and as such, have no beef or deep-rooted animosity with any other tribe and we are always willing to "welcome and partner with" any other Nationality in Nigeria, as long as there would be mutual respect.

Let me also add that Yorubas believe in an "indivisible One Nigeria" where Justice, fair-play, respect for one another and integrity" are the building blocks of the nation. Though Nigeria as it is today, is far from this dream, we think "True Federalism", as opposed to secession, is the solution to attain such.
This is at variance with Igbos who believe they cannot live happily in a United and fair Nigeria, except they break-off into Biafra.

This is the "problem and solution", from the perspective of a Yoruba person.

I understand an Igbo person might see things from a different angle but l am sure that if we show honesty of purpose and are willing to accept and forget the past, then the future is always bright afterall, there are thriving marriages between both nations and in particular, Yorubas are known not to be "extremists" in anything, be it religion or tribal affinity.

So, the ball is your court, our Igbo brothers. We also extend an "Olive Branch" in return.
Like Broom, Together (based on Justice, fairness and mutual respect), we are stronger...
What do you think and what would you want, from your Yoruba Brothers?[/quote]

Lagosians means all Nigerians living in Lagos State.

Lagos is not a tribe but a State in Nigeria whose citizens are called Lagosians.

Any eligible Nigerian voter registered in Lagos State is a Lagosian.

There is Lagos = A State in Nigeria

Then there is Lagos = A city in Lagos state of Nigeria

Then there is also Lagos = Eko, ruled by the Eleko of Eko, Oba Akinolu, Oba of Lagos.

See! When we say Lagosians, we could be meaning any of the three definitions above and l can tell you, they are miles apart.

I dont know if you understand Yoruba but we have "omo Eko"... we also have "Ara-Eko" and we also have "A'tohun rinwa". undecided

Is this the new scamming technique on Skype, imo n possibly other social media?

I downloaded imo social networking app 2 days ago and before my avast! anti virus app could complete the usual scan on new apps this thing or person sent me a request msg whose convo you'll see below. My question is could scammers be this sophisticated or dumb depending on how you look at it. It's a bit of both to me actually but since I've been thinking about it for a couple of days now I thought I throw my bewilderment or naivity as the case may be. Sorry for the foul language you may come across.

Its a criminal SCAM!

Once you see a request for:
*Your Birth date and name => Identity fraud! (They will clone your identity and use it for fraud!)
*Anything about Credit/Debit Card (even if they say you wont be charged! grin

) => Financial SCAM!

Just delete it and move-on.

Greed of course, will make some people to play along. undecided
