Amaka is an old lady when she travelled abroad. She is just like me and you.

Do you agree we have lot of Yoruba/Igbos abroad that can’t even speak their language and don’t know much about your culture and tradition.

If you stay abroad you’ll understand me. In that same Lagos, there are igbos that don’t speak Igbo but speak/understand Yoruba. You want to tell me that won’t have an influence on them?

And u dont think Amak will teach her children or her children will learn from her? stop decieving urself. The Igbo blood is very thick.

Both are from one factory in China. They are happy for the reunion.

lol come to Atlanta and sample 10 random Ibo person that grew up in USA and did high school here.

Then contrast them to 10 random Igbo person in Enugu, and tell me if they all think alike or have same orientation.

Why will you be arguing against logic?

Dont worry, all our brothers abroad when they come back home we all attend our UMMUNNA meeting. No difference. The only thing they did in Atlanta is behaving like them when they are in Atlanta. It doesnt change who they are. Ever wondered why Amaka in Canada defended the Igbo race when Kingsley threatened to kill Igbo children?

You are just one person

There are alot of Igbos that understand Yoruba more than their Language and I know alot of them

Imagine what would happen when they have children, still in the SW...Over many generations, they'll assimilate into the culture


As for the socalled advantage, whats advantageous in learning a local language that u cant speak outside the shores of your country ...Its why most Yorubas dont envy you guys in that regards. Plus, no be say dem wan relocate to your region tomorrow. So they care less about yours

Lol the Yoruba language we learnt helped us to penetrate the Yoruba market, make great success and dominate. The language helped us when buying lands in Lagos. Thats the Igboman for you. The Igboman doesnt need to be forced or coerced to learn or do what will be beneficial to him.

LegendHero:
Walahi there is difference.

There is also difference in thinking for a Yoruba man living in Nigeria and those living in USA that grew up there and did high school there.

You are conflicting tribal identity with environmental influence.

There may be for a Yoruba man but for the Igboman there is none. Thats the difference

These guys and ritual.

LegendHero:
You won’t know, but it will shape your thinking.

When you teach kids Yoruba history at their young age, it play on their psyche and they tend to behave differently from those that grow up in other places.

If you go to Igboland today, you will think differently and your approach to things will be somehow different from people who spent their life in Enugu. You might not know it, but people will tell you themselves.

Really, You that dont know me is telling me how I am thinking. Really? Are you people not wondering why there seems to be no difference between the Igboman in Europe and the one in the village? Not to even talk of Lagos here. You people are yet to understand the Igbos if so.

Lol, My mum speaks Yoruba more than I do but till date apeaks her own native Owerri language. My Dad speaks French, Yoruba and Bambara language ( Mali). None of those influenced us or stopped us from speaking Igbo. I learnt Yoruba when I came to Lagos. You guys dont understand the uniquness of the Igbo tribe.

LegendHero:
That’s what we want. Yorubanize them so they can think differently from people of the places they came from and assimilate properly, respect the tradition, and eschew bitterness.

This is applicable to all non-Yoruba ethnics, whether Hausa, Ibo, Fulani, Ijaw, or etc.

The superior culture must be taught to the kids so they can start “thinking in Yoruba” at their early stage so we won’t have people with bitterness for Yoruba amongst us in their numbers.

I speak Yoruba fluently, I know ur culture but it doesnt dilute one once of my Igbo blood. If you are conversant with events in Lagos, You would have noticed that a lot of Igbo people in Lagos speak Yoruba fluently. It is even a great advantage. Lol.

This is quite funny. A whole lot of Igbo people learnt yoruba language years ago before these funny power grabbers came to be. We learnt it because it helped us in our businesses and communicating better not because any bigot or power grabber persuaded us to.

Even before I came to Lagos, some of my kinsmen when they come back for xmas, speak Yoruba fluently in the vliiage. Trust me Igbo kids will speak both Yoruba and Igbo fluently, obviously having advantage anywhere amongst their pars. They will always excel EVEN in Lagos.

Thank God also this is limited to the dilapidated low standard, low quality Public schools. Private Schools to the rescue for other non speaking Yorubas.

Imagine an Indian, German, American or Hausa child being told to speak Yoruba before they will access education in a state the Lingual Franca is English, they will dump the already shitty public schools for quality education in Private Schools

Private schools to the rescue. Shitty Public schools for Shukura, Ayomide, Basira, Oluti, Rukka etc.

Ebin Pawa. They are teaching Peter Obi and Igbos political lesson.

Tinubu is just an arrogant failure.

Thank God I have enough for at least 3months

Thats a very shallow thinking. Every goods and services you will.need for the next three months are affected by this, so if you are not affected directly you will be affected indirectly.

I told somebody today that with the recent increment in fuel pump price, Naira is going to be on a free fall as the price of everything in the country is going to sky rocket.

Here we are now.

Tinubu is just an arrogant failure

Tulumbu don run Labour street. Thats good for Labour. They betrayed the trust of Nigerians.

They should not disturb this country with any yeye protest again.

Tulumbu don run Labour street. Good for them. Labour should not disturb the nation with any protest again.

Tulumbu's family and their unsatiable greed for money and power. Did they not hear Edo no be Lagos?

chopnaira:
You just closed you eyes to the the alleged money laundering, cybercrime, and unlawfully obtaining, retaining and disseminating classified secret documents.

The case is in court for him to defend himself. During Abacha era, he would have been hung or shot by Sergeant Rogers.

Which yeye money laundering charges. You mean to tell me he laundered money more than Ganduje, Akpabio, Yaya Bello even Tinubu (Bullion Van master). All the above mentioned are flexing their lives and it is somebody that his entire account is yet to see #20M that laundered money?

Una mumu no too much

Even Abacha wasnt this dictactorial. Just imagine peaceful protesters are sent to prison while boko haram members are rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society.

Define a failed Nation again.

Tinubu some confused lots branded a democrat turns out to be more autocratic than the military dictators.
