I have to disagree that "all zones are mixed". There are probably more Igbo's in Ibadan than there are Yorùbá's all over the South Eastern zone in its entirety.

Even with the population proviso you stated, seems clear to me that the percentage of Igbó's in SW is more than Yorùbá's in S of the overall total for each region.

Anyway, nutin spoil. Aside from Obidients, we all want the same thing and are happy to live and let live.

Well Oba Yoruba Anambra disagree with you by saying Anambra has 500k Yoruba, then in any Yoruba city you have to count before you can say which is more between Hausa and Igbo and SE can not be more than SS in the SW as a whole. Urhobos, Edos, Calabar, Ijaw etc and SS Igbos if added together will probably outnumber Igbos in the SW. In the old Eastern region, Yoruba are also large in number with highest concentration in PH, Onitsha then others. Unless you count, it will be difficult to determine if the old East is more mixed than the old West and vice versa. However groups specialize in different directions. Ilaje Yoruba fish all over the SS in large numbers because they have no other job. Oil company workers, bank workers civil servants, artisans traders drivers police fg workers produce buyers business men are what Yoruba do in other places etc

Extremekofoshi:


They want Yoruba to join them in their senseless war na.
Their Mumu never do, the game they've been playing before and after independence, for which they've been bruised and battered and still shame no catch them.

They are fighting senseless war. Awolowo, Aluko, Soyinka warned Ojukwu against the war, he senselessly embarked on the war. Almost sixty years after, they have not learned how to blend with Nigerian'ss politics.
It will still take a long time for them to get sense.

Just look at the name and job of the fool talking. How will this fool ever talk about the yoruba xenophobe against Igbos in lagos, or believe in Biafra since he is getting peanut from his masters?

So your Igbo kinsmen that voted for him as an APC candidate in Igboland are fools?

Nobody is anybody's problem

Wicked leaders; bad govt and untold suffering are the problems of Nigeria and NIGERIANS

But these fvckking politicians know how to play to the gallery and deceive people

The effect of the war is painful. Things like hurt from war doesn't just go like that. Rwanda did a deliberate programme to unite everyone. But 9ja own is different. Don't blame Igbos when they get emotional about the war and how they are still being treated in Nigeria.
What the Igbos want is for other tribes to mind their business. Every region is facing one challenge or the other. For Nigeria to really move forward, a round table discussion of all regions needs to be held and make all men express their grievances and matters resolved amicably.
Anyways, apologies for my earlier statement lumping you together with those that don't understand the issues south east are facing.
It hurts me a lot that someone can't really enjoy the beauty of Nigeria.

What is Ibadan population? What percentage is Igbo?. Can they outnumber Hausas in Ibadan despite that they are restricted largely to certain occupations?. Igbos can not outnumber Hausas in Ibadan and neither do they do more business in the city than Hausas. Can they even be five percent of the population?. You might pass thousands of houses in Ibadan without seeing a single one owned by an Igbo in a typical neighborhood. However wherever Igbos are traders, they may be majority in that section of the market and getting to the place, it may offer a wrong impression of the number of Igbos in that city. I for one don't believe Igbos outnumber Hausa or Yoruba in any non Igbo Nigerian city. They can only outnumber smaller groups

Please anybody claiming to be an Ọba in Igboland is not a real Ọba and shouldn't be taken seriously.

An Ọba rules a kingdom sọ Ọba Anambra (for example) is a fallacy and an insult to the good people of Anambra (minus the Obidients of course).

Let's agree to disagree about how many more are elsewhere because like Peter Obi at the Tribunal, we have nothing to proffer in that regard.

Not really, every easterner prays to be on their own one day. NK kind of scenerio is bound to always happen. 9ja is known for pushing things under the carpet. Life does not work like that.
Just like what is happening in the middle belt where barbarians go about killing people and tomorrow when they say enough is enough, hope people won't say the middle belt are just being aggressive?
I understand that those in power don't want to discuss the civil war issues, but not resolving it properly is not going to solve anything.

In Benin City, the number of Igbó's easily outstrip any other non indigene group and not even close.

In fact, I am convinced if you add all the other non indigenes and non Igbo's together, there will still be more Igbo's.

Unless you count you can't be sure. I hear that Yoruba is more or less a lingua franca in Uniben. I know people who attend Yoruba speaking churches in Benin city. Modakekes farm in their thousands in the area. Yoruba have always been in Benin as Yoruba used to be the language of the city before the empire declined. I don't agree with you on that one

I don’t care if u believe or not but I am 100% sure that people who’s families are in one prison or the other serving time for drug offenses will also call tinubu drug lord

I can bet my life that even u have a relative locked up in one prison in d world for drug crime but here u are calling tinubu drug lord

If only u know the number of igbos in different prisons in d world will conveniently vote in obi without people in Nigeria vote

You’re yarning complete and utter shit! What official source can you provide, that is besides the Yoruba/Fulani anti-Igbo inspired campaign of calumny and hate against Ndigbo on social-media….esp’ nairaland, to support your claim that Ndigbo are more ‘criminally minded’ than the sanctimonious Yoruba or Fulani!? A list of Nigerians held in Saudi prisons was recently released…..guess who topped the list!? From the late 60s to date, Nigeria has largely been ruled and ran aground with unprecedented corruption and greed by who…the Igbo!?

franchasofficia:
Majority of Yorubas are good; they have good conscience, but a minority of Yorubas who happens to come from the Yoruba Muslims have a natural hatred for Igbos just because Igbos refused to accept Islam as a religion, so they have been working tirelessly with Hausa-Fulani Muslim Jihadists to make sure Southeast burns to ashes, and to ensure Igbos are completely sidelined in national politics.




What they don't know is that Igbos are bigger than their adversaries and are ready to face their enemies squarely without pretense till we destroy them completely and force whoever is left amongst them to seek for peace.



Unfortunately, the voice of the few wicked Yoruba Muslims who hate Igbos seems to be the loudest amongst Yorubas, thereby making it look like all Yorubas are against Igbos whereas it is just some few inconsequential Yoruba Muslims working together with Hausa-Fulani power brokers to cause Igbos harm in Nigeria, they must fail, nothing last forever, nothing

Fool!!Yoruba has no division be it Muslim We are all One,!! Unlike your Hate filled,Callous, discriminatory ethnic group Who still does OSU Caste.only Yoruba Muslims hate you Yen yen yen.I guess the Cross Riverian,Niger Delta,Akure People too detest you Since You went to Show Yourself there??To the extent U wanted Adaka Bori Killed all Because of the greed for their Crude oil.

You Ungrateful, Envious, Greedy Landlocked,Barren Tribe dey always Chook Eye for wetin no Concern You na why U wan die for Lagos.You need to look inward why do you have Problem with Everyone?? Indonesia,China, Thailand,India, South Africa,Dubai.All this afore mentioned Countries Prisons, are filled with your Kinsmen I guess they also hate you right? And they are all Yoruba Muslims??

Your idea of ‘things going well’ is nothing other than Ndigbo sitting in one corner like ‘obedient slaves’ while the owners of Nigeria….the Fulani, and their Yoruba servants rule over everyone else and appropriate other peoples resources for their own benefit and enrichment! That’s what ‘things going well’ means to you! The moment any Igbo rises to try and effect a change to the status-quo and invites themself to the table….like Mazi Kanu or Peter Obi have done, you immediately go ape….throw your toys out of the pram and demand for their heads on a platter!

That bridge is the major thing. FCT did not extend farther than Apongbon but Nigeria has proved a setback not only for Lagos but for everybody and it may continue getting worse. Without Nigeria, a better bridge would have been built

Do most Yorubas even understand that Nigeria is a stumbling block to development in Yoruba land and the rest of the south of Nigeria? The non MURIC Yorubas may understand, but the MURIC Yorubas look forward to Sokoto Caliphate for directions.
Worsening the positions of both Igbo and Yoruba in Nigeria is the lopsided political structure created by northern soldiers, as well as the military constitution supervised by the same northern soldiers and imposed on all in Nigeria in 1999.
That apart; the far north has literally freed itself from the tight grip of Nigeria through adoption of Islamic Sharia criminal laws. It's a political quagmire for the southerners in Nigeria.

Not only Southerners. Niger Hausas are better off than Nigerian Hausa. The minimum wage is more than double and they have a working refinery. That country is like Europe. What then are Northerners gaining? UN should take the oil while everybody agree you can't tariff goods meant for other nations, then break the country for everybody to breathe

But i thought your argument is that una holy pass!? Going along with your warped logic, there should be little or no Yoruba being held for drug offences in Saudi cells….more so when Saudi Arabia is seen as a holy land! The only thing you should be packing in your baggage when travelling to Saudi Arabia is your holy Koran and the bare essentials….not stuffing every orifice in your baggage and on your person with hard drugs!

You may not have realised it, but you’ve inadvertently helped make the point i was stressing earlier! Between the Igbo and Yoruba, which ethnicity frequently travels and does business in south-east Asian countries like Malaysia or even China? If there are more Igbo there than other Nigerian ethnicities, doesn’t it stand to reason that they would have a higher representation amongst Nigerians being held or convicted for criminal offences!?

Duro with your sneaky and selective analysis of the issues….just duro (apologies to Tekno)!

Your argument hasn’t dispelled the narrative that the Fulani see themselves as ‘owners of Nigeria’! They have this thing they do of offering crumbs or grudgingly handing over their ‘birthright’ when the heat gets too much, then naive Yoruba or Igbo will think they’ve just been done a favour and we’re now all equal in ‘one Nigeria’! You see this play out with the Ekwueme instance you cited; MKO Abiola; Ernest Shonekan; GEJ; etc! Ask yourself if the Fulani would have been content receiving what they’ve been happy to see Ndigbo receive from the late 60s to date!? You think they would have sat by and allowed to be treated like that without blowing up the entire country by now!?

Malaysia does not have more Igbo population than others but maybe China may have. Yahoo boys and students are the dominant groups in Malaysia.

Everyone knows that external pressures cannot damage a formidable people, only internal pressures and enemies can.

People can blame every other person for their problem but themselves because it provides emotional and psychologic boost to absolve ourselves of faults, but if people are to have real success they must look out for the log of wood stuck in their eyes.

Senator Kalu is spot on this time. All the best to Nigeria and the Igbo race.
