Don't mind him jare, almost every Yoruba person has on or more Ibo as friends, so how is Yoruba seeing the ibo as enemy? Most of my friends are ibo, I don't have any aboki friend.

You can't satisfy Igbos, that's one thing I have noticed. No matter how much you show them love, there is a place reserved in their heart for tribalism and blame... Honestly my perspective about Igbos has changed over the years and I have realized they don't see anyone outside their tribe as their brothers.

Yoruba business Maybe the women that sells clothes in ibadan. Most Yorubas prefer to stay in SW and we are not known for business like igbos or hausas

Because you live on nairaland. Who sells Agbo in Igbo land? I went to get money at ATM in Aba. A group of Yoruba women finished it for their Pos business.

Please try and travel small.

why you no go talk trash when they have colonized your forefather in ilorin , omo ale kwara , bunch of coward.... aboki no dey try half of wetin dem dey do for here in kaduna
sitdown here make pampers dey wear u

This is a civilised society. It is time we eschew violence. Let 's not forget that these people are aboki and that is how they behave. Most time lets free them jarey. They av number. They are in power. If they start their own WAHALA now in full scale we no go fit wait o

South West is boiling at the moment. This is what happens when you see your enemy as your friend. Yorubas sees peaceful Igbos as their enemies and at the same time embraced rampaging abokis as their soulmate. Now they are reaping the benefit of their friendship

Peaceful Igbo you say

@Fahdiga, what's happening in the SW at the minute is just a tepid echo of what's happening in other parts of Nigeria. You prevaricated that word, BOILING. The northern and eastern parts of Nigeria are in flames literarily.

SW can decide to be friends with anyone. What makes the Igbos different from the Abokis? They both migrated to Lagos. The Igbos have no more rights in the SW than the Abokis. The Igbos have problems with everyone: they invidiously see the Yoruba as betrayers, which is not true- Zik betrayed their cause- and see the Abokis as less human.

What's more? The Igbos naturally love to dominate the land of their hosts, whether it's Lagos, South Africa, Malaysia or India. But these hosts always resist them. There are millions of Yoruba in London, but you don't hear Yoruba say London is no man's land. Irresponsibly, Igbos say Lagos is no man's land, disrespecting their hosts in the process.

For me, the immediate solution to these ethnic cleavages is a break up of this fractuous, fictive union called Nigeria. The interrelationships forced on the ethnic nationalities have held some regions back and super-imposed a socio-economic state of inertia on them.

I agree with your last paragraph

I am igbo, because of diz u want turn d it to tribalism, u don't sense at all

I sincerely think you should commend the Yorubas for being loving and accommodating. atleast SW isn't making the place hell for Igbos, we help ur business grow even

Yorubas will never get quarter of the accommodation, friendliness and peace we show to you guys down west, Yoruba businesses will not even grow in the East, yall would never allow it.

Ignorant comments like this piss the hell out of me. Have you ever been to the South East? On what basis was this conclusion reached? What percentage of Yoruba people migrate to the East compared to Easterners who migrate to the South West? This is the kind of biased rhetoric that has been handed down endlessly and which make the illusion of a united Nigeria ever more fleeting.

The other parts of your comment are just laughable, "accommodation, friendliness and peace"? I'd like the views of the guys at Ojo Local government yesterday on this, or those of the guys who suffer regular attacks on their property at Ladipo and Alaba International, etc on this. Let's not even go too far back in history for other examples.

My advice, don't comment on stuff you have no knowledge of.

How do the Igbo see the Yoruba, especially here on Nairaland?

Na wah for you

@heendrix , you're spot on! They can never allow outsiders the economic opportunities they've enjoyed in Lagos. Far from it! Yet, they spin out false hate towards them; they view everyone as hating them. Whereas, they have a sense of hatred, pseudo superiority over others.

I can only agree to your last point..makes sense

Most Igbo people clearly don't understand Youruba people.

I schooled in SE so I know some of the mindset of most Igbos against Yorubas.

I hope one day you will realize that Yoruba are peaceful people and do not have hatred for any tribe (Igbos, Hausa etc)

The only people causing problems for Igbo people in Yoruba land are Igbos in SE who have never left SE region b4

Seems as if police did a partially good job here. If laws were being enforced, they wouldn't have had to rescue the situation and saved more lives than lost due to the accident.

Armaggedon:
Okada men riot in lagos
100 people massacred in owoh ondo state
10 killed in in the same state
Igbo PVC collectors attaked in lagos
mob burnt 30 okadas in lagos

All happened in southwest within one week, yet southeast to them is the region turning into afghanistan.

Wey u see yohr own 100 people killed?
Sowore paper.....

No dey talk rubbish. People who day this rubbish are usually Yorubas who have never lived in the East. No Igbo man has time to be making trouble for others based on tribe. I love in Owerri. My neighbour is Yoruba and the biggest provision store in my street is owned by a Yoruba woman.

You and the imbeciles who liked your post are all daft

You don't know? The things happening in the East are more important to them than things happening in their backyard

Lmao so it's agbo seller and pos business you want to compare with the massive complexes and shops even fuel stations owned by Igbos in d sw or the cows ND sheeps owned by the northerners . Abeg rest

It is you igbos that first see yorubas as your enemies. This started especially when Jonathan was president.

You are the ones that sowed the seed of hatred.

Is that what the yorubas living in the east are telling you or you just decide to assume things on your own?

Btw how many yorubas do you see doing business like the way Igbos are doing?

harmargedon:
that's because you guys don't leave your region, we'll hardly see you guys up north, you're always scared of trying, the few I know in the south east are cashing out big time

100% true. And the craziest part is that all the Yorubas I've met in the East are extremely nice. It's only Yorubas who have never lived in Igboland who say this rubbish

Will you shut up and stop breeding hatred. Yoruba and igbo fight exist in the mind of tribalist like you. Go out there and see how yoruba and igbo coexist peaceful. How many times have you seen yoruba lynching or looting igbo shop.

Shut up you twerp. Yorubas don't have business in the east other than selling agbo and doing tailor, and for accommodating the Igbos, Igbos own Lagos and u can't do shit to them. Argue with ur father
