Although in several occasions, England and France works together, they are bitter rivals, as the American independence celebration took place few days back, I came across the post where America asked France for financial aid, france said they were broke but on hearing that the war was against England, they agreed with the speed of light.

I think Nigeria as a country has saved a lot of confrontation, perhaps Igbos and Yorubas have our own sovereignty, there could have been frequent wars between the two most successful West African Nationalities. England and France had fought over 40 wars over the past recorded times. With the rivalry between Igbos and Yorubas, I see the game becuase Yorubas supported Ijaws in Opobo and Bonny issue, the Igbos turned around and support Fulanis in Ilorin since the two tribes have decided to be mad, two can play the game but in truth both nationalities knows the absolute truths about the contested territories.

But wonderfully just like England and France, both Igbos and Yorubas have several common ground, in the second world war, both nations fought side by side and today in the Russian-Ukraine situation both Britain and France are together. I think the Igbos and Yorubas are also together vehemently opposed to Northern political subjugation maybe North is the Russia here.

We still have a lot in common but I'm still thankful that there has not been any actual war directly between the two Nations save for the civil war, we have not had any confrontation with the Yorubas, even the popular ideology of the war in Igboland was that the North was the enemy but now those are in the past but hopefully the rivalry don't escalate.

You lost me at 'two most successful african nationalities'

In what way are igbos a successful nationality? Have they ever had an empire or had any society outside of their existence as Nigerians? The igbos were captured in the bush by ijaws and sold as slaves. In the bush where they lived, their history of cannibalism and backwardness is well documented.

Yorubas and Igbos have nothing in common and would have NEVER crossed paths if not for 'Nigeria'. We are cultured omoluabis with values and ethos and a structured system of governance.

Nah. Nothing in common.

As the heavens are far from the seas, so is yoruba culture far apart from igbo culture.

You talk about building empire when the British saved your ass from 16 years war, rather than fight the british you fell like a pack of avalanches, yet you were envious of Benin Kingdom, Ekumeku resistance fought the british for over 30 years and we won indirect rule but you were totally subjugated with your so called empires

Yeah every notable culture on earth forged wars and acquired lands. Yorubas are no different. Cant say the same about the bush people.

You talk about what we have in common, did I say we have a thing in common, I said we are rivals but sometime find a common ground that doesn't mean we are similar people, you are from the fallen demon, we are Umuchineke spot the difference, even the fight you are instigating proves me right

Escapist:

everything I said there are established facts

For ur information op, IGBOS neva supported fulani nor yoruba muslims.
The only way to destroy christanity in nigeria is by destroying IGBOS.
Muslims never liked igbos because we opposed sharia law right from day one.
Thats why they want to turn SSners against us just to weaken christainity in nigeria.
Thank God the great people of Edos have understood the game.

Average northern muslim is taught to hate the igbos from childhood.

Southern nigerians and middle beltans should be wise.

Islamization of nigeria can only be achieved by destroying the IGBOS

Absolutely NOTHING in common. Odo. ZERO.

Nothing.

Not Comparable.

In the real sense I dont think there is any war betwen igbo and yoruba. You may say rivalry. They live to gether in face me and face you. They school together. They inter marry . They do business together.

Did I say we have something in common, using the English and france analogy, does France have anything in common with England so did you read the content at all, we have nothing in common, we are rivals just like England and France okay, go and snatch Ilorin from Fulanis, shey they don ban your festival ?

That's the Nigerian effect, I can bet it that perhaps Igbos goes to war today with Ijaws, Yorubas would support the Ijaws and perhaps Yorubas goes to war with Fulanis today over Ilorin, Igbos would likely support Fulanis, individuals don't instigate war, even in all the British france war, I bet there are two individuals from both nations that were madly in love

Are you saying there was no 16 years war across yoruba land, are you saying Yoruba kingdoms did not sign treaty with Britain?

Who toold you empire is a good thing? Empire means that at some point, some people left their land to go to other peoples lands and forcefully take over the place. What can be good about that? Empire is evil and Im glad Igbos never had it

As for saying that Igbos were sold as slaves, which tribe wasnt sold as slaves back in the day?

So now perhaps there is war between Yorubas and Fulanis over Ilorin, what do you think the general Igbo Nation would do, ofcourse we would mostly stay neutral however since we have another lingering issue somewhere it Boils down to chess game, personally I don't care about religion, my grandma was a muslim so I'm not giving people differential treatment cause they are muslim, terrorism is terrorism and invasion is invasion, even if the Isrealites lead any form of invasion or terrorism against AlaIgbo it shall be retaliated same as if the Papal state in Rome did

Same young cultured omoluabis that chased a whole Oba of Lagos out from his palace? Took his staff of office, dragged his throne, ransacked his bedroom, the riff-raffs also had to enjoy the Oba's swimming pool and we all know the language that was being spoken in those videos that circulated.....they couldn't believe the luxury the Oba was enjoying while they roamed the streets and lived in squalor!

There will be no war but the rivalry may linger for long. The internet is even adding more salt to the injury.

Make Nigeria break up fess make we check something, well the thing is Nigeria has saved many wars, cause it is very easy for Igbos to get in war with Yorubas, first the Benin might get in war with Yorubas and ask for Igbo assistance, by the time we do that Yorubas may decide to attack us directly or attack us with by proxy using the Ijaws, by the time we retaliate that's war all round, before you know, Igala has been dragged on and Hausa Fulani as well and we get ourselves in Pan Niger-Area war lol

No!!
Igbo Yoruba relationship
It is not like England and France

To be honest it is More like England and Scotland because they are still the same Nation with the same Ancient Ancestors

God Almighty still used them to accomplish mighty good things on Earth

You didn't win any indirect rule. The British on their own decided on how they will rule the colonies. Try not to garnish your arguments with lies.

It a lie, the British saw that they won’t be able to rule the Igbos directly given several uprising and rejection, that’s why indirect rule was used
