I've always wanted to see things from another point of view.
We all know about the power tussle between the Yoruba, hausa and Igbo.
The Yoruba want to be on their own politically and doesn't want outsiders putting mouth in their matters
The hausa think they're the born rulers of Nigeria and they're to rule everyone
And the igbos think they're the most commercial tribe in the country and they're the one that developed everywhere in nigeria


So as someone from a minority tribe, how do you view the major tribes?

Bunch of selfish minded people, that was why it was changed from regions to States, to save us minorities in the 3 regions from perennial oppression by the 3 greedy majority tribes.

Go & read the Lord Wilkerson’s report of 1957, ie, people from present Rivers State suffered immensely when under the rulership of Enugu capital of The South Eastern Region of Nigeria (1909-1967).

That was why people from the newly created Eastern States Rivers & Cross Rivers State (1967) refused to handover igbo properties back to their brothers after the civil war ended 1970, payback for all the years of oppression.

To exam-plate how bad the situation was, even other minority tribes in the Eastern region in a plebiscite (1959) voted in favor to join Cameroon than remain with their oppressors in Eastern Nigeria, Which infuriated the central Government in Lagos.

Your comment is the reason why people say that biggest evil Yoruba people can do to Igbo people is to help tie them down in Nigeria because once Ndigbo are free, the sky won't be their limits
While,
The greatest evil Igbo people can do to Yoruba people is to free them from Nigeria because being part of Nigeria is the greatest achievement Yorubas have had in their existence.

Just look at the only Yoruba city (Port Novo) that is capital of a country. It can't even measure to fellow port city of fon people (Cotonou) in the same country
