Every day on Nairaland the Yorubas and the Igbos are always on each other's necks, especially here on Nairaland.
Always comparing themselves to each other, throwing ethnic slurs at each other.
What is really the problem? Both ethnic groups are doing excellently in all endeavors of life.
Please you both should stop, the is pratically nothing to gain in tearing yourselves apart.
Pls let's give peace a chance.

The hatred between Yorubas and Igbos started during the time of Chief Obafemi Awolowo as Finance Minister.

He suggested to Yakubu Gowon to change the currency during the Biafran war which dealt the last blow to the Igbos and made Ojukwu (their Legend) surrender.

Peace between those siblings will bring about the birth of a new and prosperous Nigeria hence the political elite who are bound together by the blank cheque of Nigeria's resources have always made sure that they perpetually fight and hate each other because their unity will spell the end of the elite

Hate what? I don't hate you for it. I don't like dealing with cowards. The average people calling for the breakage are nothing but cowards. Yes you read that right!

If your so called leader from the East could have a round table and stand firm that in the entire East they will not vote or be voted for, if they can stand their ground that unless a consensus nothing political from Nigeria will move in then I will know you guys want a breakup.

This has nothing to do with Wars, this is the will and might of a people. Organize a town hall and copy every meaningful civil groups both home and abroad. Copy the Nigeria Security bodies. Tell them you don't want violence. Copy AU, UN, ECOWAS and all interest groups that four years from now you want to challenge yourselves that 90% of people from the East don't want to be with Nigeria and want to have your own independence..

The world will take you serious.
Withdraw all your political affiliations with any Nigeria state by this I don't mean commerce, I mean political. Start it from today.

Don't pay a dime to federal government and don't go to federal government for a dime.
They will know you are serious..

What should Awolowo have advised?

Meanwhile, Awolowo did not advise Gowon to change the currency, Awolowo went to Gowon one night and told Gowon that he is changing the currency the next morning. Gowon was surprised, and he asked how. Awolowo told Gowon that he and the then CBN Governor have already printed enough money to go round the country. Awolowo said he has put the CBN Governor under surveillance since he told him about the plan, so nobody knew except the two of them.

Awolowo changed the currency because Biafrans s invaded the CBN offices and other banks in Igbo land and looted all the money there. It is the looted money they were using to buy guns and bombs.

So, Awolowo thought of how to end the war without much stress. So, he rendered all the money that the Biafrans looted from the banks useless by changing the currency overnight.

Normally, humans Live and Learn, yeebhoes?

They just Live, they'll never learn.


They've got a one-way ticket on the Disoriented Express.

In their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.
Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories.
Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear.

Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards.
Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.
There are historical facts to prove this.

If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists.
However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.

Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc

All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.

I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.
As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.

As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them.

In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted.
The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.

In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE.
Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa.

The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL .

As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.
Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.

The third category are the Hausa Fulani.
The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner.
After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls.

However, Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.

The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje.

The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions; Now Kanu is languishing away in Kuje while Ekweremadu and his wife are having it in UK prisons.

FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second.

The Latest one is Peter Obi; a sore loser at the recent concluded Polls and that is a story for another day.

I hope very soon the Igbo will not start blaming Fayose, Sowore, Deji Adeyanju, Obasanjo, Afenifere and prominent Yorubas who stood by them still as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war.
