Somebody just posted above how they are like that in the east also. Is the east "other territories" to them also?

oyatz:
This may be true but misleading.


Churches are not stupid, they know what they are doing.


In the S/west, most churches have some members who are non-Yorubas, so it is necessary to sing church songs in their languages to make them feel at home and have sense of belonging.


In the S/East where most communuties are almost homogenous, they only sing in Igbo languages.


When i was serving in the North, one of my happiest moments were when i attended NCCF fellowship praise and worship services with the ways they sing in many different languages including my mother tongue.

Lol. Now that Nigeria is in serious trouble, Nigerians are facing and telling the truth about our ethnic indigenes and their intrinsic character.

No doubt Omokri is talking about the Igbos with the bolded above. We can all see their antics in ala Igbo where they are even executing fellow Igbo because they feel they are striking a blow against Fulanis.

After GEJ hailed the Yorubas as the only ethnic group who have managed diversity and development well in Nigeria, I knew Omokri's brain would reset to truth mode about the SW.

As it stands now, if Omokri holidays in Nigeria with his kids and wife, I can bet any money he will not set foot outside SW the whole time he will be here. He certainly will not go near ala Igbo lol.

We can lie all day to satisfy our ethnic jingoism against others but the very dark current reality of Nigeria is now making many to admit the truth. Even if reluctantly.

Hmmm. Yes there may have been some marginalization b4 bt after 1999 I think that hasn’t been the case, the political playing ground was opened up to fair play and ability to pull ur weight and negotiate ur place.

After the war many Igbos have achieved a lot not just in business bt in government service and even in the Nigerian armed forces. They have gotten to the highest levels of their careers. The only difference is they worked harder for it unlike the North that gets it easily cos they are backward education wise.

Development wise I think Igbos were left out bt many other regions were left out also so it’s hard to know if this is a major issue. Ur governors and legislators always had a responsibility to draw attention to both ur state and federal projects. Probably they did and didn’t get a good response at the federal at the time. We can’t say.

UncommonLogic:
I have even met Igbos who will admit that they do have problems when it comes to hating other tribes and religion simply because of how their were brought up.
They are by far the most tribalistic set of people I have ever met. Not even close.
When they meet you, the first thing that comes to their mind is where are you from.

You don't know the half of it. I assure you. Azikiwe was a very corrupt human being. Go and do your proper research.

I'm talking about songs in indigenous languages during Mass this one is talking about English. Lol.

Bros what you are saying is no big deal and being a catholic and you are making this statement shows you are not a true catholic but a liar. Nothing is choking me i am just amazed at your naivety. First of all did any Yoruba person teach igbo songs in a Catholic Church in the east and people Objected? If they did please name the parish in the east. Also in my chaplaincy we sang Yoruba songs and Efik songs, so please go to confession and tell the priest how biased ethnically that you are that made you resort to lying against the catholic church

I'm sure the truth is choking you right now. You never thought the person you were talking to is Catholic.

We know you better than than you know yourselves.

You needed to shalaye because of small hit wey the guy give you. Did Reno mention any tribe?

Lady Simp!

Odkosh:
Our family have igbo labourers that work in our farm.

My dad even gave land to one igbo to be farming on it till we will need it.

But you people are tribalistic in nature.

Cos everyone knows, that why they mentioned igbos.

Am not envious of ill gotten wealth and unnecessary arrogance.Am well read and well informed with God's blessings.Am only envious of the Jews because of their contributions to global science and engineering.A tribe of less than 15 million people but with Nobel laureates than China.These are the people am envious of ,not a primitive tribe with stupid arrogance.

theTranscriber:
hes not Yoruba

Now go sleep

emapeteum:
Sorry,I end my conversation with a spare part dealer who may not understand my language.

Leaforever:
I find dt most Igbo women are tribally competitive & hotheaded (even more dn their men) and they brainwash their kids.
Most Yoruba women are calm headed and don't brainwash their children to compete or dislike other tribes.
I have not been around Fulani women a lot, but this is what I've noticed wt the other two.

Dts how these children are brought up and perpetuate the cycle.

TripleOh7:
Lol. Germany was paid compensation for a war they started and killed millions of Jews? Hahahahaha. You are a comedian indeed.

You are a gester and nothing short of a poltergeist Tell me what the Marshall plan was all about then we can start.

Check below please.



Read my post again. I said at the time when that statement was made, starvation was a war policy. You want to tell me that if Ojukwu had had that same advantage he wouldn't have taken it? Abegi. Same Biafran soldiers that were beheading the soldiers of the federal forces that they captured. That was the real war crime during that period. Go find out. On the other hand, captured Biafran soldiers were reintegrated into the Nigerian army.




Lol. This shows you know NOTHING about the history of Nigeria. Please educate yourself. Look at the parties at the center and who the Igbos supported at the time. This here is not a history class and I'm not your history teacher. I'm sure you're smart enough to do your own personal research

You are the one that knows nothing about history dude. How many times did we transition to civillian rule and when were igbos at the centre. In Nigeria's 61 years of existence apart from 60s and Ekwueme/shagari and GEJ when were igbos at the center?



Oh and btw, a statement you made on your earlier post that you know the roles played by other ethnicities to make the life of the Igbo man terrible during the war. I say that's absolute bunkum. You only know what the then propaganda machine, Radio Biafra wanted you to know, most of which were lies.

It was so bad that the Igbos thought the federal forces were going to kill all of them, but when Obasanjo got to the east driving the Biafran soldiers away, the easterners who were expecting to be shot were shocked when the Nigerian army started binding their wounds and feeding them.

If truly Nigeria wanted to wipe out the Igbos, why didn't the soldiers do so when they got to the east?

Food for thought.

BigSarah:
Reno wan use teeth enter Tinubu camp...Join and Get Boli and Pomo unhindered

LOL Politicians Eh... Reno and FFK collabo back again, I give Reno 5weeks he'll be back in APC...

Igbos aren't tribalistic or clannish than any other tribe.. Tribalist or clannish people can't move in droves and settle in other Tribe areas that ruins the point of being Tribalistic or clannish..
Some claimed they can't get land easily in any Igbo areas, if you ask them if they've brought money and it wasn't sold to them..they'll say something else..

Avoid Tribal Shenanigans

BigSarah:
I never for once supported Kanu...
I never for once supported IPOB...

I only supported Agitation for Biafra(and I still do, but not the IPOB model)
I only supported ESN (when they weren't terrorists) Which was a mistake still.

WesternOligarch:
You didn't support kanu...
You didn't support IPOB...
But you supported ESN created by kanu(when they were non violent)

Lol una go dey alright.

Gotze1:
That is the tribalism they talk about.

Your people are barbaric in nature.

That is why those raised outside the east are well refined and think differently from you people.

Shame on you.

Odkosh:
What do they have for some to envy them?

obynzo:
People that came to serve in igbo land also experienced the same hospitality. your experience is subjective at best and not a statement of fact. i experienced the worst form of tribalism from Yorubas in my school. the lecturers treat you with scorn if you are not Yoruba, but if a Yoruba A student is there, they would do their best to boost the student's grade.

Idiko1:
The hatred for Igbo in Nigeria does not have boundaries. This is food for thought to those delusional Igbo peeps who beg for the silly one-Nigeria. If Igbo are most tribally disposed in Nigeria, why do you not support their bid to leave the union called Nigeria? It is not funny anymore your forbearers fought war of attrition to keep these despicable souls as part of Nigeria. I know the root of hatred toward Ndigbo in Nigeria yet the reason most Nigerians will fight to keep them as part of the shithole called Nigeria.

HedwigesMaduro:
Actually he's right. Igbo corpers at Iseyin (where I served) in 1999 tried forming an association of Igbo corpers. In NYSC. Imagine that.

TripleOh7:
I served in a remote village in Mikang local government area of Plateau state as a Yoruba corp member. The small Catholic church there made every effort to sing hymns in other languages apart from the usual Hausa they used.

They were always excited with Corp members who brought music scripts of hymns composed in other languages, particularly Yoruba and Igbo for them to learn.

Are you saying those communities in the east don't have Corp members posted there or even others who might be visiting?

You said you were always pleased to hear the church sing in your language, so you can imagine how I felt when I heard these Plateau indigenes singing hymns in Yoruba.

That rarely, if ever, happens in the east, I can bet.

hammer567:
ONE THING I WILL SAY TO RENO OMOKIRI AND OTHER TRIBAL BIGGOT ONE NIGERIA IS THAT, 2023 IS A MAKE OR BREAK YEAR.



BUHARI WILL NO LONGER BE IN POWER AND ANY ATTEMPT TO SIDELINE IGBOS WILL RESULT IN YORUBA AND FULANI CONTINUING TOGETHER AS ONE BIG FAMILY IN ONE NIGERIA.




THAT WAY THEY CAN BE LESS TRIBALIST TOGETHER.




IDIOT!

GeneralPula:
You’re a chronic lair..

Yoruba lecturers are very well mannered..

They used all tribes when teaching..

You mentioned of Unilag? Now let me use Chindima’s case to burst your balls - after the yawa had happened, all her lecturers were speaking good of her, despite that she’s an Igbo girl..

When I was in school, a lot of different tribes were made HOCs & some occupied good post..

It’s a known fact that yorubas are not tribal..

obynzo:
Ohhhhh so it is not derogatory so why do you people take offence when you are called Ndi Ofe mmanu?

GeneralPula:
I still don’t get the relation between Yoruba language and Christians praises..

Some west Africa countries do say Christian things in Yoruba too..

Tope Alabi nko? They sing her praises and they understand it well..

Is it cuz the language is melodious musically to the hears or something else?

I just want to know..

IGBOS MARGINALISATION OF NIGERIANS
*THIS IS THE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER AND WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA*
Any historians in the house to vet this:
Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!
We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.
*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.
WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:
The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"
