Igbos and Yorubas are amongst the largest ethnic groups in Africa, but both have never seen eye to eye politically. Despite both ethnic groups having achieved a lot, both of them dont think much of each other. While both ethnic groups have largely tolerated each other, both are eternal political enemies. The beneficiary of all this has been the North

This political fight between Yorubas between Igbos and Yorubas is happening because they are in one country. Before the British came to lump both tribes in one country, they hardly knew each other.

Had Yorubas and Igbos been in separate countries, they would not be political enemies today as there would be nothing to fight about

The British colonial project called Nigeria has proved to be a colossal disaster and anyone who thinks it will last forever is dreaming. Someday, everyone will finally agree that Nigeria cannot work, and opt for peaceful dissolution

When Yorubas and Igbos finally get their seperate countries, they will be great friends since there will be no Nigeria to fight over any more

Fight your fight alone, stop looking 4 any opportunity to blame north.

This is very true. Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas/Fulanis should never be under one country cos there'll be eternal distrust amongst them due to language barrier like what happened in tower of babel in the bible.

The UK did the arrangement to ensure Africa and Nigeria in particular never develops.

Before fools justify the useless union, why not try putting Russia, Germany, France and England under one country and see the outcome.

The union called Nigeria is a fraud

There is nothing like fight here. Igbo are tyr one jealous of Yoruba achievements.

They need Yoruba to survive but Yoruba don't need them.

I'm from Akwa ibom, I studied the both people. The different is clear.

Yoruba can have a country of their own with the 6 states and survive.

But if Igbo go with 5 state, they would be worse than Burundi.

Absolutely correct, this was exactly the situation in Hindusta that broke up to India , Pakistan and Bangladesh, something occurred in Malaysia until they peaceful broke into Malaysia and Singapore. Same thing happened in Sudan, Ethiopia .
The federal government should be bold enough to have one of the sides go

Ok. At least, start with artificial separation; let each start by staying put or migrating back to their region. Simple.

True

The only people to admit the Okoro back into their midst were the Yoruba.

If the Yoruba had remain hostile to the Ibo like the way the SS people were for decades after the war , would they've picked up from their self induced wounds?

The Ibo is an ingrate.

What exactly is difficult in igbos remaining in your poverty stricken enclaves of 5 so Nigerians can understand you truly need to go

During his usual church storming campaign tours , Obi stated he saw nothing wrong with the flawed 1999 constitution which owes its origins to the Zikist drawn Military decrees issued by Ironsi.

You should ask why not one single Okoro has been at the forefront demanding for a constitutional reform.

You have legislators representing you at both chambers of the national assembly and at one time , the Senate was under the control of the SE for 8 straight years. Why has none of your Legislators pushed for constitutional reform?

Isn't this what ipob has been fighting even at the threat of death and imprisonment

Who says Igbos and Yorubas don't see eye-to-eye?

Both tribes have the highest inter-ethnic marriages. They are mostly friends offline, work together, do business together.

Igbos feel cheated because Yorubas have the upper hand Politically. Same way Yorubas felt during the GEJ era. No major tribe will ever be happy being treated like a minority.

The problem with both tribes is bloated Ego, Pride and unnecessary rivalry.

In all this, na Northerners dey enjoy our Yeye fights

Don't blame the SS, We initially revenge what they do to us during civil war. They came to our land, force biafra identity on us.

Kill many of our hero, turn our land to war torn.

Would you recall the bruhaha, the ' we are Northerner ibo saga '?

Truth is, ibos love and can't survive without Nigeria. The screenshot below is a prove of that. Simple.

The only reasons you day this is because you see both the north and SW as a threat to your relentless attempts to colonise the SS region.

That same lumped union is what we also complained about in the old eastern region which you guys are not ready to relinquished.

It's very hypocritical to blame the British for lumping both northern Nigeria with southern Nigeria but become silent of the lumped eastern region which was the most restive and tumultuous region owing to the oppressive and suppressive tendencies of the Ibo majority.

Their revamped Biafra quest is all fake.

Give it to them within their ancestral borders and watch them cry and beg to remain in Nigeria .

"They hardly knew each" No shared history before colonisation

If you are really a South South person you will know that the coup that resulted to the Biafran war was spearheaded by your kinsman called Chukwuma nzogwu Kaduna. The blood of Igbos were shed in millions for the perceived atrocities committed by a man from your south south region.

There's alot you kids don't know.
Do you see igbos blaming the south south for the war?

Is Ojukwu also from South South? Why do you need to force biafra identity on us?

The truth here is that Igbo has the eyes on our region.

They know south East is a barren soil with no mineral resources.

Meanwhile, the plan will remain a dream. You will not take inch of SS LAND.

Most of the people that claim SS are not actually SS, they are afraid to mention their ethnic group in SS for obvious reason because they know that the original SS person whom them mention their ethnic group will come out and denounce such person so that they won't pitch them against Ibos of SS or Ibos of SE ...

They forgot that some of us Igbos in SS exist...

Don't allow these people to deceive you... There is a reason they hide under SS cover to type nonsense, sometimes I reply them, sometimes I ignore......

Don't allow what they type here to move u...

When Nigeria breaks, even non Igbos in SS would like to join Igbos in SE which I don't wish because I am a strong advocate of Ibo nation only..

They know that Nigeria Will crush them in the absence of Ibos.. In fact, Nigerians will call them Ibos or even remind them how they aling with Igbos during election just to punish them ......


Imagine some yorubas calling Uche Secondus Ibo... Even Jonsthan was called Ibo by northerners when he was a President


If educated Yoruba could be this daft without knowing who's who in SS and SE, how much more average Yoruba man or aboki on the street

Stop being parochial and sowing seeds of discord.
It's the people....esp people like you.
Are you aware that it was the advent of oyinbos that brought the word Yoruba....and Yorubas never saw one another as one (in some cases they were arch enemies) until the British came?
How come it was successful with Yorubas but you think it can't be successful with Nigeria.
We can be seperate nations within a country and still have beautiful, United country.
It happens all over the world....Canada, Australia, USA, Somalia, even Niger.
That we lost an election,civil war, become richer than others... are not enough reason to lose sense of nationhood.
Sit down,plan, restrategize, integrate to achieve your goals within the union.
Some of us have no choice though. When you are Yoruba and have 1st cousins, wife, sisters inlaw, nephews and nieces who are Igbos.. you know that this enmity is imaginary.
It's my 1st time of commenting on a tribal thread.

We were never together but for bastards like Nnamdi Azikiwe that kept begging and doing attaché by force. Again, and when we are enjoying our regional system of governance, another greedy iboman ushered in unitary system of governance after carrying out the first coup d'etat, killing every other regional head except ibos.
Greed and desperations to dominate others as we saw it lately when you are all calling for military take over because Peter Gringory Obi lost an election.

and some people should stop taking other people's gas deposits! Yorubas cannot eat their cake and have it! If you want ijaw oil,feel free to siphon as much as you can.........but see hydrocarbon deposits in imo/abia/obigbo,afam,etc.........yorubas and their proxy companies must pack up and go!

Dey play.

The Igbos had the chance to go in 1967 but wanted the South South to go with them because of the oil even though the Igbos and the South South are not one. And for their own self fish reasons stopped the South South from leaving to stand on their own even before Ojuku declared the republic of biafra in may 1967.

History lesson:

The South South:
"before Ojuku declared the
republic of biafra in may 1967
Isaac Adaka Boro an Ijaw man had declared the
Niger delta republic in february 1966.
Boro had formed the niger delta
volunteer force an armed militia with
members consisting mainly of his fellow
ethnic group declared the niger delta
republic on february 23 1966 and fought
nigeria's federal forces for 12 days but
they were eventually defeated and then
jailed by the Ironsi federal
military government [and Ojuku eastern governor] for treason"

But it was Gowon from Kanke Local Government Area in Plateau State that later set Boro free and Boro later became a major in the Nigeria army.
