It came from their political elites. They passed it down to the subjects. Through misinformation o, gist o, old fables o, lies o...all join.
So it has eaten into the fabric of the present living generation. My opinion though

Shut up

Truth be told, Yorubas and some Hausas were the only Nigerians that didn’t take over properties belonging to Igbo people. You have to give it to them for doing the right thing.

During the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, many Igbo people fled other parts of the country for the East because they were being killed and massacred wantonly and the government was doing nothing about it.

Many abandoned their homes, properties and businesses for safety. Of them, was a young Igbo architect who had a young Yoruba banker as a neighbour in Apapa, Lagos. He also abandoned his home and with his family fled for the East.

However, the young Yoruba banker, while the war lasted, rented out his neighbour's house and kept every kobo for him while he was in the East. After the war, the Igbo architect returned to Lagos and the Yoruba banker handed over the entire proceeds of the rent and also the house to the Igbo architect.

Some few years later, the Igbo architect became the Vice President of Nigeria and the Yoruba banker established a commercial bank, the first by a private citizen in the country's history.

However, he could not get a license to begin banking operations. Many people were against him because it was unheard of at the time.

At this time, the banker remembered his neighbour who was now the Vice President and tracked him to the Christ Church Cathedral, Marina, Lagos on a particular Sunday. He had tried to get appointment to see him in his office but without success.

He and his wife then decided to go lay ambush for him in Church but the security men did not allow them. They then decided to sit by the pew close to the aisle to beat the security in the hope that the Vice President would see them while he walked to the front row. Yet, he still didn't see them.

After the church program they positioned that he will see them on his way out. However, the people following him out and security blocked his view. That was when the banker's wife decided to take a risk and like the woman with the issue of blood, she pulled the Vice President's cloth to get his attention who then turned and saw his old friend.

The young banker then narrated his plight and told the Vice President how he had tried to see him and what he needed to see him for. He told him about his application for a bank licence.

“Don’t worry yourself. Just come tomorrow at the Federal Executive Council meeting which I would preside because President Shehu Shagari would not be there,'' the Vice President assured him.

By 3.00pm the next day, the Finance Minister called the banker on phone that his licence was ready. The rest they say is history.

That young banker was Otunba Michael Olasubomi Balogun while the architect in this narrative was one of Africa’s Elder statesmen and former Vice President of the Republic of Nigeria, late Dr. Alex Ekwueme. The bank is what is now First City Monument Bank.

Gowon ordered awolowos release

You have time for these people o.As if Awolowo was the only one released from calabar prison. It was just 2 days after Gowon became head of state he released him. Awolowo sent letter to Ironsi to take a second look at his imprisonment but no response.
Before the Igbo lost power,Why did Ojukwu as the premier, not release Awolowo and his partners when lronsi was the head state

Bonaventura:
Awolowo was not honest

When he was released from Calabar prison on the negotiations that he'll relay the plight of the Easterners and help end the war, due to his presidential ambition, he rather advised the then Federal Government to use hunger and starvation as a tool for war against the Igbos.

He never was the president

Someone should remind me how he died again..

It is this lies that you younger ibo generation tells that makes everybody from north to SouthSouth to Ghana and southafrica hate you

This should serve as a lesson to the very few naive Nairaland Igbo warriors who hate Yorubas and always spew hatred that Yoruba people usually play fair game and love their neighbors whether they are Igbo, Hausa or any other tribe....

I come in peace

Coldie:
[s][/s]Nigeria is not moving forward cause Nigeria owes igbos a debt. Nigerias problem is not just leadership it’s also spiritual, yes there was a war no doubt and therefore according to some Nigerians igbos must pay for it.

But igbos have paid for it in full, from 3quarter of the Igbo population being wiped out, to our properties being seized to over 50years of marginalisation, how long would igbos continue to pay.

Like the story said nobody knows tomorrow, from Massob being quite peaceful then ipob came being not quite peaceful, should we wait until the next Biafra group comes that’s more organised and willing to do sth dastardly that will shake Nigeria?

Should we wait until there’s a Biafra group that will one day get in possession of a nuclear weapon and launch it towards Nigeria for revenge?

Nigerians let’s do the right thing, Obasanjo was in prison, he wasn’t even a pdp member he was released and made president just to pacify the yorubas, Goodluck Jonathan was made president to pacify the Niger delta but y is the case of igbos different?

Don’t we need to be pacified too?

If Nigerians want to be fair and want to be justifiable even u reading this low-key in your mind know that yorubas don’t deserve 2023 presidency, between 1999 till now u have produced president 8years, Vice President 8years again and u want to be president another 8years while in same south a region hasn’t even seen vp slot, is it fair?[s][/s]

It is called politics, play the right Politics or continue crying, politics is not emotions

Coldie:

Nigerian presidency has passed the level of governors and reps. What hasn’t Rochas okorocha done to appease people, especially those from the north?.

Even Dave Umahi despite all the odds never hid the fact that he was a friend and ally of Buhari. Tell me

May I ask what Rocha's & Umahi have done to appease Nigerians and what exactly is the importance of appeasing the north in a special way?

shów love to we FULANIS too

It is either they don't have any idea of history or their parents told them white lies to make sure their offsprings hate Yorubas. Yet Many of them carry out their businesses peacefully and build anywhere in SE without fear or favor. The Head of State then, wasn't blamed but Awolowo who is not the leader of any security or the nation!

Jealousy will finish many At least Ojukwus their champion fled with his family and didn't wait to partake of the hardship he brought on his people

kernniejay:

Here are the problems:
1. Igbos believe that Pa Awolowo is their arch enemey because he taught Gowon how to stop the Igbos and make them surrender during the Biafra war, which is a wrong belief.
2. Igbos always have inferiority complex. They always see themselves as a lesser citizen and less priviledged people of Nigeria, which is not true.
3. Igbos always play the victim's card. The see themselves as victims of any circumstance in Nigeria.
4. Igbos feel they are the most unloved and yet productive people in Nigeria. They feel that the country under values them and does not appreciate their industriousness. They are indeed very productive and highly enterprising.
The problems with the Yorubas are
1. Yorubas are too patient and kind and they allow other people to take advantage of their patjence and kindness.
2. Yorubas believe that their priority is to have peace irrespective of who the leader is or who has the power or who is in control.
3. Yorubas don't like to struggle or agitate or fight for what they are entitled to. They are too shy to make demands.
4. Yorubas are loving and honest people (there are exceptional cases), their honesty and love sometimes make them to be cheated.
These often cause friction. My opinion pls.

Thank you!

LastProphet:


The hatred comes from the boastfulness of the igbos, it cost them all they have suffered till date but they will never ever learn. Except for igbos raised outside the east who can sit back and think, the ones raised down there are incapable of thinking, someone once said it's the noise blaring from loudspeakers in their markets that interfere with their mental composure. Igbos are the only tribe where you see a professor and a trader having exactly the same opinion on almost everything, both the trader and the professor see Jonathan's tenure in exactly the same way, the professor has nothing deeper or more analytical to say. The reason is that both are driven by sentiment which is something igbos can never shake away.
The igbos were leading in almost everything before the civil war but their boastfulness made them lose it, see how fulanis are dominating now but without any noise, igbos cant do that they must rub it in your face and then bait you to respond to their affront by soliciting fake public sentiment. Igbos that can be calm and collected like Alex Ekweme, Peter Obi, Cosmas Maduka, Zik etc can achieve much in life but unfortunately the majority are incapable of deep introspection. All the hatred nigeria suffers abroad is caused 95% by igbos, my cousin just returned from Dubai after 5 years of struggling because Nigerians have become unemployable due to what igbo boys are doing there. Malaysia, Ghana, SA, kenya, anywhere its them but they wont listen. You cant make sense to igbos

Hmmmm! true talk

That's when Igbos and Yorubas were in love with each other, now it's a cat and dog relationship.

The lesson here for me is that people should be good to others regardless of their tribe or creed and that this ongoing ethnic cyberspace cold war is immature, unnecessary and a major threat to both national unity and individual progress.

Lalasticlala, Myndd44, Dominique.. Rule 2. Rule 3

My Yoruba friend,is there any tribe called afonjas.
So tell me what rules did I break.
Or you just hate me so much for always speaking the truth.
Or maybe is tribal
Never the less happy new month

A Yoruba man once came to the South South in search of greener pastures the man as of then came to start a phone repair in Calabar and he didn't have a shop nor a house to pass the night and I met him under a tree close to a phone accessories store where I went to work my phone,he approached me and helped me fixed my phone then he narrated his story and I felt pity, took him home, introduce him to my parents and then we lived together in my room. We were more than friends but brothers cos I'm the only son in midst of four girls, we drink,eat and do girls shit together, we had misunderstanding and make up ASAP. I provided him with a shop to continue his phone repairs FOC and he has never for once pay a rent on the shop, I hustle for admission for him in the university of Calabar and studied Edu Economic.
While he was in the university I protected him from joining cultism even do there was a pressure on me to bring him for initiation I keep telling them that it was a mistake that I found my self here and I will never advise or bring anyone to this nonsense and I'm done with cultism after my graduation.
He was once beaten and wounded seriously by a soldier in the barracks for coming back late cos we were living inside the barracks and my dad was a senior military personnel and the soldier was court Marshall and demoted.
Our friendship started having a question mark when he started associating him self with some Yoruba guys who were lousy, boastful and filled with pride and all those characters irritates me, they were all cultist different from my frag, I was protecting my friend in all cost not to associate him self with cultist of any frag because of the danger it will cost me or him but he started exhibiting some characters strange to me and his fellow Yoruba brothers lured him to initiation one night but God saved him, they had an accident that night, no body sustained any ingury but my friend was on coma, one of them called my phone that night around 1:15am and informed me about the accident and my friends condition, at first I thought it was a trap and put my frag HIT squad on alert, took three soldiers with me and Five police personal.
Reaching the scene I saw my friend laying down with his eyes and mouth wide open and he couldn't talk, we rushed him to the hospital that night. I was with him for 3days while the doctors were trying to revive him because he became the hospital MS patient, the MS is our family friend and know this my friend in person, after 3days I called his girlfriend to come and spend few times with him while I rush home to change up, the girlfriend came and I left 20k with her should in case of any emergency payment, I didn't spent up to 30minute at home when I came back to the hospital I didn't find his girlfriend and her phone was switched off, she ran till today.
Calls of threat started coming my phone from my friend family members that if I've succeeded in poisoning their son I should bring the corpse to Lagos that somebody called Akin called and told them that their son is at the point of death that the person he's living with poisoned him out of jealousy, akin is the person who took him for initiation.
After 12days of coma in the hospital he was transferred to LUTH, I went to the airport that same hour booked for two. At around 5pm we came to the airport, the pilot rejected him saying he's a dead corpse and he can't carry him, everybody pleaded with the pilot but he refused not until other passengers onboard came out of the plane and ask the pilot to fly an empty plane back to Lagos before he accepted but I did a big mistake, I didn't accompanied my friend to Lagos cos of his family threat and the fact that I don't understand Yoruba language, his course mate who is a Yoruba accompanied him.
I thank God Almighty the great physician that my friend my brother is healthy and strong and married with kids, I again thank God that my name was the first name he mentioned when he recovered and I was the only person he asked to see before any of his family members, I was so happy when I heard that he has recovered and he wants me to come see him and with joy in my heart I went immediately, when we saw each other we hug and cried so happily in so much that the whole hospital was filled with tears plus his family members and I will never forget the name he called me that day MY TWINS BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER.
I'm sharing this story because of the so much hate thread I've been seeing on NL between the Igbo and Yoruba, this administration of Buhari has input so much bitterness in the mind of many Nigerians which is not good for the future. I am an Igbo man that stand for peace,love, prosperity to anybody and for anybody irrespective of tribe or religion.
