The hatred of Igbos towards Nigeria is also alarming..
Abi who is in right sense would call his country of birth a Zoo?
A stupid useless country that killed 3 million of Igbos and have the international airport named after an Igbo genocide leader and his face on 20 naira note, deserve worst than hate, resentment and destruction from the Igbo. See! Ndiigbo have forever to extract ourselves from Nigeria. You will have to do it voluntarily or at great pain. NIGERIA is worst than a Zoo. NIGERIA will never get love from an Igbo who is not directly feeding fat from Nigeria purse.

Didn’t Igbo kill Nigerians?
You should hold your past leaders like Ojukwu the betrayal for the 3millions wasted Igbos..
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.
How can they sing in the tongue of:
Low classed people? Ndi ofe mmanu? Traitor? Betrayer? Etc. They have a lot.

Pride and egocentricity is a big problem. Even God hates it with passion.
Uguruzik: TOO MUCH HATRED FOR IGBO, IF ONLY GOD SEES THE IGBO THE YORUBA AND SOME OTHER NIGERIAN TRIBES SEE THEM, IGBO WOULD HAVE GONE INSTINCT, BUT GOD'S LOVE KEEPS NDIGBO AFLOAT, EVEN OVER THEIR HATERS. WE HAD THREE MEN WHO REPRESENTED THE 3 MAJOR TRIBES OF NIGERIA; ZIK, AWOLOWO AND BELO, AMONGST THESE 3 THE ONLY MAN THAT WASN'T TRIBALISTIC WAS ZIK OF AFRICA; THE IGBO MAN. BUT YOUR STORY TODAY IS DIFFERENT, BECAUSE OF JEALOUSY AND ENVY. SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT IGBO CAN SURVIVE AFTER THE WAR, SO THEY'RE SO DISAPPOINTED. EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT OWNS NIGERIAN POLITICAL AND MILITARY POWERS ARE FAR BEHIND THE IGBO. GOD MAY YOUR NAME BE PRAISED.
why would someone envy you guys? You guys have nothing that worth our envy. Igbos are dangerously tribalistic. I swear to God if Igbos were the people that won the war, the wouldn't accept other tribes the way they are been accepted through out the country. See how igbos were received in the north, they were accepted and accommodated in the south west even after carrying arms against Nigeria, they imprisoned Adaka Boro,they killed all the politicians from other tribes, they killed a prime minister, they engage in so many criminalities in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, kaduna , Port Harcourt, etc , but upon that Nigerians still forgive them and accommodated them. Igbos are given lands, to build their personal houses in other parts of the country but the you will go to Igbo land looking for land to build your house, that day you know what iam saying. If they do not use price to discourage you, they will refused selling the land for you by reminding you that you are not an Igbo man.
Low classed people? Ndi ofe mmanu? Traitor? Betrayer? Etc. They have a lot.

From your statements you are the one thatbis exhibiting pride and egocentrism if i call you out on it you will begin to gaslight. Yorubas are always saints abi..... shior

I actually did not mention any tribe.
But if you feel it describes you well, Congratulations.
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.
Baawahala: Actually they are the most clannish Yoruba that hate to hear other people speak their language but enjoy speaking theirs... Yoruba in office space is hell of a space with their clannish lifestyle...
Many non-yorubas speak Yoruba language. There are many non-Yoruba musicians who wax albums of popular songs in Yoruba Language/slangs (Onyeka owenu, Sunny Okosun, P-Square, Tuface and so many numerous others) and commercial adverts made with Yoruba language.
Today, Yoruba language is the most widely spoken Nigerian indigenous language in the entertainment industry.
Joromi1: Reno is right and wrong. Igbos are tribalistic more to themselves than to others. Which means if an Igbo man becomes president there will be more deaths in southeast than in any other region. These guys have trust issues.
But I still don't trust Fulanis, especially their Muslims. Those ones can even bomb their own family members who are Christians.
But truly, Yoruba remains not only the most accommodating tribe but the best on Mother Earth!
Are Jukun, Ebira, KareKare, Bachama, Zuri and Nupe people tribalistic?

You are saying another thing... Yorubas feel bad when they hear Igbos speak Igbo language or Esan speak Esan,but they like speaking Yoruba and prefer you dump yours to speak Yoruba... Is that not clannish....

Most Yorubas don't understand Esan and Igbo languages, so why will they feel bad about what they don't know?
All over the world, most people tend to like you if you speak their languages!
If you can speak some Hausa to Maisuya or Onion sellers, they will sell more to you for cheaper prices!
This allegation is just a figment of your imagination. Everybody communicate in languages they can understand fluently and your mother tongue is the easiest for you to understand.
By the ways, do Yorubas also feel bad if Jukun, Nupe, Ijaw, Bini, Urhobo, Bolewa or Efik speak their native languages or they only feel bad when it comes to Igbo and Esan?
20 Nigerian pounds. Good. In the history of wars, [b]have you ever seen one side compensating the enemy after the war? Even if it was 1 pound, that was generous.[/b]
Now, you have just shown your lack of knowledge. It seems like you enjoy revisionist history. Who told you the 20 pounds was for compensation? Before the war, Igbo families had much more than 20 pounds left in their bank accounts. It was merely a paltry payment for the huge sums of money that was left in their bank accounts.. So, I hope you get your facts straight before you start exposing your ignorance.

That was and is a statement of fact. At the time of that war, starvation was a strategic way of forcing a quick submission and end to the war. Go and check the pictures from the war. Ojukwu and family looked very robust and healthy while his people starved. He could have stopped the war but he wanted his people to starve to death so that he could gain the sympathy of the outside world.
There you go again running away from the issue. You were the one who brought Awolowo into the mix, telling me how he paid 20 pounds and much more to Igbos. Then when I responded with facts you have no response other than to say it is a factual statement. The issue was not whether his statement was factual or not. I guess, you have no clue what the rules of engagement are according to the Geneva Convention. But I am not gonna lecture you on that here.

Read to comprehend. I mentioned more than one reason for the dispersal of Igbo people from the east. Not just erosion. You are comparing the state of New York to Alaigbo. Lol. You are hilarious. Even IF you had the capacity to erect a skyscraper in Igboland, who would be foolish to do so on a land that is gradually being washed away by serious gully erosions?
I do read and comprehend very well...but do you? Because if you do, you would have understood that I did touch on all three seasons that you adduced but I guess they went over your head. It's very obvious that you lack a sense of analogy. My veil refence to NY City does not mean a comparison to Igbo land. It was only to inform you that having a huge land mass never equates to huge population, opportunities and rate of development. After all, you were the one that said that Igbos are emigrating to other areas because of lack of land due to erosion. As for erosion, every state in LIEGERIA has one form of disaster or another. Some have flooding and others have erosion including Ogun State in the West, Edo State and in the Niger Delta regions as well. So, please do not tell me about gully erosion as if to say it's restricted only to the Southeast. Watch the videos at the link below and see for yourself.
Igbos have always been in alliance with the government at the center. ALWAYS. The only time you guys started playing the opposition was in 2015 when Jonathan lost and it has been bitter wailing since then. You'll need to ask yourselves [i]why you haven't done anything for yourselves if you've always been at the center of power [/i]for most of Nigeria's democracy as well as some of its military rule.
It is really sad when one is totally bereft of the truth. Please, do not say out loud the nonsense that you just said about Igbos being in the center of power most of Nigeria's democracy and military rule. It's either you are being mischievous or you're downright ignorant and clueless about what's really going on in and around your environment.
Don't blame the Yorubas or ethnicities for that please.
I am not sure where the above sentiment that you expressed came from. Like I said earlier you probably have issues with reading and comprehension. Where in my piece did I blame Yorubas and other ethnicities? I guess you're confusing my reminding you of Awolowo's statement during the war as blaming Yorubas. That's far from it.
Sufferingboy: Reno should shut up,we the children of hate are children of shuku alabama.
To be sincere,Igbos are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria.Come to east and see for yourself.
Igbos r used to ur hate...them no send u... History has it that the most successful people are always envied It is because of this ur hate that igbos want to exit Nigeria but una still they call them bad names.... U guys are just afraid of living with the Fulani if igbos go... But nothing lasts forever...Change is inevitable

Yes to the question you asked... They complain when you speak your native language with your brothers but they are the ones who speak theirs more even amongst non Yoruba
WesternOligarch: Lol, seen the tweet, check the tweet and the replies, the other tribalistic nations he was referring to are the group who took his last statement and disagreed with it. Simply because it didn't fit their narrative.
Yoruba's are as tribalistic as they come. But being coawards, they accepted to play second fiddles to the blood sucking Fulanis.
Baawahala: Yes to the question you asked... They complain when you speak your native language with your brothers but they are the ones who speak theirs more even amongst non Yoruba
Like i said earlier, the problem is made up in YOUR mind.
There are hundreds of tribes in Nigeria and you won't hear them saying 'Yorubas feel bad if we speak our languages'
You need to check yourself and do away with your unnecessary victim mentality.
