You know I have a Yoruba friend one day he was explaining coding and building a website back then its not my line of expertise and along the line I was understanding what he's saying perfectly well even giving him ideas he's never thought of and then he said you graduated from unizik right and I said NO oo I didn't go to school, I learned trade....
He laughed at me and then saw am not laughing too then he asked ARE YOU SERIOUS I SAID YES....I STOPPED IN JSS1 BACK THEN WHEN MBADINUJU THEN GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE GAVE FREE EDUCATION

THE MAN WAS SO SURPRISE AND HE SAID that's why I like IGBOS the way their brain works is totally different and he continued and said I must marry an Igbo woman. And guess what he's from osun and he went ahead and married an Onitsha woman.


Am Igbo but the truth is IGBOS ARE DIFFERENT.....NIGERIA WOULD HAVE HARNESS OUR FULL POTENTIALS AND A VERY AMAZING COUNTRY IN AFRICA BUT THEY CHOOSE TO TAME DOWN THE SPIRIT AND POTENTIALS OF AN IGBO MAN.....AN IGBO MAN CAN NEVER BE TIRED IN WHAT HE LOVES DOING AND SEEING WHAT HE CAN DO MAKES HIM TRY EVEN MORE COMPLICATED THINGS HE'S NOT TRIED BEFORE AND THIS IS HOW CIVILIZATION STARTED.

HAVING BUNCH OF CITIZENS WITH CRAZY IDEAS WITH ENABLING ENVIRONMENT TO BRING THOSE IDEAS TO LIFE.

Guy forget I'm Yoruba but attitude of Yorubas irritate me, seriously I want make them kill Tinubu and Yoruba leaders make our eyes clear, we need some soul searching
Guy some Yorubas are so Useless,stupid and fearful,Fulani killed Abiola ,what did our Yoruba fathers do ,Absolutely nothing .Igbos killed Samuel ladoke Akintola ,a sitting premier Western region ,a whole 13th Aare ona kankanfo, did we revenge ,No .So what are you telling me if the Fulani and igbo kill Tinubu today,Yorubas will still look like Morons and fold their arms saying that they are peaceful and accommodating ,what a foolish statement. Yorubas are slaves to the Fulanis and igbos ,in our land but they don't know yet .Fulanis,igbos live in best places in lagos like Vi ,lekki and ikoyi ,while Yorubas are relegated to Ajegunle,mushin etc.That is why we can't stand on our own and make decisions,we are always playing second fiddle to either Fulani or Igbo.Until Yoruba people seek for help from the good people of the United States of America, and acquire superior weapons, Fulani would calm down for you ,Igbo would calm down for you (they won't call Yorubas coward again),We are bragging that we are the most educated in Africa but how has our education help us, Department of Nuclear Chemistry University of ibadan ,can't produce even a time bomb not to talk of ballistic missles and Hydrogen bomb,but we say we are the most educated, So how then can we protect our civilization without weapons. People with Superior weaponry are always feared and respected Just like America .Fulani sought help from British, that is why they can deal with Yorubas anyhow .But my Yoruba people are not willing to do anything ,just sitting down doing anywhere belle face and foolishly saying they are sophisticated, peaceful and accommodating, stupid talk.IT IS TIME FOR WE YORUBAS TAKE A DECISION TODAY.

Decipline ? lmao
The only thing igbos lack is passion for what we do ...it's mostly about money ...we are more like China

We see things as numbers ..how much do I invest what's the return ..no passion of loving what u do ..we only love n enjoy making money

Which has advantage n disadvantage
you must be the most truthful igbo man I've ever seen on nairaland! Igbo's are focused on money and anything that brings money whether legal or illegal. That's a ritualist, kidnapper or drug Barron will be more respected than a king in Igbo land. Ritual is as common in Igbo land than anywhere else I can think of, they sacrifice there brother, father, mother or sisters for money. I know a lot about Igbo's because I have stayed with them

Why Do They Fear The Igbo Man?
There are reasons many finds it difficult to understand Igbo people. Some people fears the Igbo. Not that Igbo people are bad people, yet they fear them. It was this same fear that made slave owners to stop buying Igbo slaves even when they know that Igbo people are intelligent and hard working. It was as a result of this fear that spurred Britain in to working against the Igbo interests in Nigeria. It was this fear that plays against Biafra in 1967-70. There is this fear about Biafra becoming another Japan in Africa. So many refused to support Biafra as a result of this fear.

The understanding of the Igbo towards life is different when compared to Fulani, Hausa and Yoruba. In Igbo land, no one wants to know your father. You hardly see people say, 'Do you know who my father is'. What your father owns is nothing when you are being rated. An Igbo man is rated not with his father's
achievements, but with what he is able to achieve. Respect isn't transferable from Father to son in Igbo land. You need to rise up and climb the ladder of success yourself. No one is accorded respect because of his father's achievements.

Achebe in his classical work 'Things Fall Apart' presented the character of Okonkwo, whose father is not only poor, but also lazy. Unoka, Okonkwo's father will always go to the Priestest to lay sacrifice to the gods, instead of going to work like a man. But Okonkwo rose up to achieve greatness, irrespective of whom his father was. He got riches and was welcomed to the table of elders. Ọ kwa Igbo si na Nwatakịrị kwọchaa aka, o soro Okenye rie nri.(When a child has washed he hands, he can eat with elders). While others will choose to respect and honor children's of their elites, the Igbo will rather give every one the same opportunity to climb the ladder of success or be forgotten.

Zik of Africa, Nnamdi Azikiwe was the greatest of them all in his time, but today no one hears about his sons. It is a competition for the Igbo people. Igbo don't create gods among themselves. That's why it is very difficult to create someone like Tinubu among the Igbo people. Why others have same reoccurring names in their regional politics, the Igbo keep changing leadership.
Igbo people can rally round someone without money and make him king simply because of his dedication and sincerity. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rose to power without drinking the dirty waters of Nigeria politics. He was never a governor, neither was he a Senator. But today, he is the most respected person in Igbo land. He got the greatest followership.

This culture or way of life of the Igbo encourages competition and the spirit of survival. A son of a poor man in Igbo land dreams of making it big in the future. A father that were able to learn machanic during his own time will deny himself a lot of things to make sure his son becomes a Doctor or a Lawyer. It was this spirit of the Igbo man that made them survive the war and recover within a short period of time. A lot have been said of single Igbo mothers that raised university graduates. Some of those that feared the Igbo accuse them of being domineering. One wonders how the Igbo is domineering when they are not invading peoples lands, or leading Nigeria. But a quick look at the resilience of
the Igbo tells it all.

An Igbo young man can travel to Lagos with nothing and yet become gradually rich. I have seen a Westerner who was trumpeting how Igbo business men engages in money rituals. It was actually an Igbo that went through Igbo apprenticeship system, got settled after 7 years of service to his master, started his own business, survived out of strict discipline, that were accused of money rituals. While his counterparts from other ethnic groups were enjoying parties, he sleeps in his shop, building his business. Soon he owns his own house, only to be accused of being domineering. Success they say attract envy. This is the crime of the Igbo. Succeeding where others failed.Igbo is never domineering. They are rather aggressively successful.

1) Who are the 'THEY' that fear the Igbos?


2) Is anybody asking the Igbos to have someone like Tinubu?


3) Must ethnic group think alike and behave in the same ways?

There's this aura of superiority that oozes out from an average igbo man especially those from anambra that strikes fear in the fulani northerner and the yorubas I think that is one of the reasons that makes them fear the igbo man.

Pride they say goes before a fall.sometimes in life a person,or group people may not know that they are fast drifting to a fall.the simple reason for this ignorance is the presence of PRIDE in the life of those I mentioned earlier.we were told of how pride dethroned Lucifer.. pride & arrogance was what led to the fall of the great Roman empire! time & time again we are warned of the dangers of pride & arrogance.with this in mind & my observation especially on this section of nairaland,I beg to ask: Ndigbo,are we making the right steps?..a day hardly passed without you reading Igbo this, or Igbo that.Ndigbo are we at war with everyone?.. ALMOST EVERY DAY,WE ENGAGE THE YORUBA'S ON TRIBAL WAR.. ANOTHER DAY IT'S THE TURN OF HAUSA FULANIS..YET ANOTHER DAY,WE ENGAGE THE NIGER DELTA..IF WE ARE NOT ENGAGING THOSE TRIBES,WE ENGAGE OURSELVES BETWEEN,ANAMBRA vs IMO...NGWA vs ABIA..etc.Ndigbo are we sure we have not DRIFTED? we have forgotten this Igbo adage;OJEMBA ENWE ILO!..a journey man doesn't have enemy!we travel widely on a daily basis.is it how we are going to live with those we travel daily to there region?

Yorubas are slaves to the Fulanis and igbos ,in our land but they don't know yet .Fulanis,igbos live in best places in lagos like Vi ,lekki and ikoyi ,while Yorubas are relegated to Ajegunle,mushin etc.That is why we can't stand on our own and make decisions,we are always playing second fiddle to either Fulani or Igbo.Until Yoruba people seek for help from the good people of the United States of America, and acquire superior weapons, Fulani would calm down for you ,Igbo would calm down for you (they won't call Yorubas coward again),We are bragging that we are the most educated in Africa but how has our education help us, Department of Nuclear Chemistry University of ibadan ,can't produce even a time bomb not to talk of ballistic missles and Hydrogen bomb,but we say we are the most educated, So how then can we protect our civilization without weapons. People with Superior weaponry are always feared and respected Just like America .Fulani sought help from British, that is why they can deal with Yorubas anyhow .But my Yoruba people are not willing to do anything ,just sitting down doing anywhere belle face and foolishly saying they are sophisticated, peaceful and accommodating, stupid talk.IT IS TIME FOR WE YORUBAS TAKE A DECISION TODAY.
The worse behavior known to Yoruba was acted out on July 29, 1966 when the son of the soil was killed, of all places, in Ibadan the capital of Oduduwastan yet the Yoruba looked to Dahomey. Instead of showing some spines, the Yoruba turned the saga into a reality show by propagating falsehood on how Francis Fajuiyi decided to die with Ironsi. What a silly skit.

So stop saying 'only' Igbos can turn Nigeria to eldorado! However, I'm not trying to take anything away from the ingenuity of igbos and other tribes in the country. As a matter of fact, every tribe is better at something, and that's the uniqueness of being humans.

What is killing Nigerians is lack of discipline and love for our country.
you can't love something designed to pull you down...how can you love something that we all have in common that's making us not to move forward?
