Armaggedon:I've worked and live with Igbo's and I can attest that the sensible one's are just epitome of human perfection but you be Oloriburu Igbo, must you attract hatred to yourself in every slightest controversial discussion?. I use to say it and I'll say it once more, you Igbos are the problem of yourself, y'all like to play a victim card at every little thing and that's the most common stereotype of you people as a tribe. |

Yorubas and Igbos should have been in different countries You got this one wrong. Modern states are not about blood or ethnic affinities. Modern States are about a people coming together to advance common interests. Moder States are based on social contract, which is an agreement on how a group of people organize their society and govern themselves. People who are different in orirtentaion and ideology can come together to form a country, because in spite of differences, uniting makes them stronger. Modern States are not homogenous! |

[quote author= post=130068621]This is a very good piece. Interesting to read. For emphasis sake, Here we go.... IGBO/BIAFRA VS TINUBU/YORUBA: TOLERANCE BECOMING A CRIME By Dr Chinedu Akabuike 1. Why do we hate Tinubu? What for? 2. Tinubu never worked with federal or Eastern Nigeria let alone stealing money from Ndi Igbo. He never worked as Minister or taken any Federal Appointment! 3. He never joined APGA let alone sabotaging our Party's interest? 4. Tinubu didn't meddle in Igbo internal affairs either! 5. Why do we call him thief? What did he steal? 6. We call Yoruba "slaves". We never reflect on what it means to be slaves in the true sense of the word. 7. We are putting mouth in Lagos politics without caution, yet we have a proverb that says it is the foolish housefly that follows the corpse into the grave. 8. Can Yoruba man become an Association or Local Government Chairman in the East? Let us be sincere with ourselves. Yet, we enjoy all these privileges here including Assembly Membership! 9. Why asking for what we can't give? 10. We are here helping the "slaves" to develop their land. Who then is a slave? 10b. You call their city a no man's land so that we can further be enslaved slaving to develop it, and our generations are wasted gloating over mere privileges. Who is a slave? Do we actually think? 11. Can Yoruba tell Okorocha "o to gee" in Owerri? He doesn't even need it. He is too intelligent to die for a pot of ofe manu or nothing. 12. After the civil war, for many of us who were old enough to have witnessed it, the Yoruba were the first to open their arms to receive and accept us as we were, crude savages in search for means of survival. It was regardless of what we equally did to them before and during the civil war. No party to the civil war was innocent! I also remember not paying any rent among Yoruba guys without a penny for my first 3years in Lagos and another 2 years in Ibadan. 13. Can we survive Yoruba attack in Yoruba land if they actually mean to? Will an Mbaise man cooperate with the Nsukka or Afikpo, or the Imo with Anambara? 14. If we all decide to relocate at once, Babangida send me home phenomena is still in the memory of some of us who survived the incessant and uncontrollable spate of robbery across the Onitsha bridge. How many people will want to go in spite of our empty pride? 15. If Yoruba people are as foolish as we foolishly think, why agitating? How will agitating be to our benefit? 16. Why not "O to gee" in Abia, Enugu or Owerri? 17. Can a man from Aba become a Commissioner or Perm.Sec. in Enugu State Civil Service? Yet it happened here! Why not be careful. 18. We adopted APGA and but "wisely" voted PDP. How was Tinubu our headache. Was he the cause of our downfall? Why always blame others for our inabilities and want to take glory for any small thing we think we have done well and even overblow it? 19. We claim we were so creative during the civil war. Now history. We also claim every made in Nigeria is from Aba. But go to Oyo and Osogbo to see what "lazy" mechanics are doing quietly in the automobile industry, yet we make noise that other ethnics are either mumu or lazy except we (alagbara ma mero baba ole; the most hardworking humans who cannot develop their own land unfortunately). 20. Why looking for avoidable problem? Why? 21. It was you in the North being attacked, in Malaysia being killed, in Gabon and Ghana being molested. 99.9% of Nigerians killed in South Africa are of Igbo extraction, and sometimes by fellow 'hardworking' Igbo. Why? 22. We choose Kanu and he dictates to us without consultation with any one of us. They choose Tinubu who becomes a hero among them by bowing to or adopting the choice of their majority. Why are we angry? We chose Azikwe and they chose Awolowo. How are they more mumuish followers than ourselves? Zik became a President and we gained from it, Awo was only a Premier, but we are only struggling to beat their records in all ramifications including education till today. How are they mumus? We chose APGA and they chose APC, why agitating? Yoruba are yet to say Tinubu is their problem why do we want to die for nothing? Why working in APGA but planning to collect salaries in APC? I pray for the success of Biafra, but do we still remember that as Igbo we will automatically become foreigners on the streets of the Lagos we call a no Man's land? How many of us will actually want to relocate home, should Biafra actualises or if citizenship is on the condition that you relinquish all other citizenship in Africa? I leave that answer to the individual. Nwayo nwayo biko unu.[/quote]do you guys know that dog whistling against a tribe is a criminal offence. |

FreeStuffsNG:That idea of waiting for the ceremony to start before serving guests I agree with. I once had an experience where the couple were delayed through no fault of theirs before getting to the reception. A good number of guests had eaten and left before the main event started. The idea of not attending church service depends on people not culture. Catholics attend wedding mass before going for reception. Most pentecostal weddings hardly attend weddings |

Abeg, why fanfare irrespective of age? Let people be honored by the presence of their loved ones, for me, that is the best you can do for the deceased. I do not subscribe to burying young ones as though they never lived. |

gidgiddy:Yes o placing Yoruba with those toxic clowns was a biggest mistake God bless Awolowo and co for not joining in a war that doesn't concern us How can I be happy that I was placed together with people that value money more than human being, regret rather than reasoning, abuse and insult everyone and not themselves A tribe that cried victims and marginalization all the time like a small pikin Indeed the British mess up |

FreeStuffsNG:Your take on the aspect of politics is primitive and born out of fear. Also, no one is dragging politics with you. If a person has the right to vote and be voted for in a country as stated in the constitution, that's paramount. He or she can exercise such right. Anyone against such right is myopic and unexposed. It is normal to see plurality of culture in a cosmopolitan environment. Lagos is the best example in the South West, that's the reason you find people of other cultures express themselves, even politically. Other less cosmopolitan areas of the south west do not experience such level of expressions because they are not as exposed. When they grow to that level, they will experience it. The assumption that anyone who say things like this, is from the south east, is also foolish. |

Armaggedon:You are delusional. The typical Yoruba man just wants to educate his children, have a profession or trade that gives him respect in society, after that party and have sex..his life is complete. You think people envy you for your money because your focus is money money at all costs. Very often we laugh at you because the majority of you don’t even know how to spend it with class. For instance you build large vulgar houses with tacky expensive furniture and ghastly exterior tiles. I mean who puts marble or toilet tiles on his exterior walls….an ibo man!!! Trust me we are not envious of you, quite the contrary, you can only be envious of someone who has what you want and don’t have. A typical Yoruba man just wants enough money to be comfortable. If money meant that much to us, more of us would be doing drugs and fake products like you. I had an uncle who had a very successful business in the 70s to 80s, your people entered his territory with fake products and killed his business. When I was about to start a business I went to him for advice and asked why he didn’t join them or take them on. His response was he is a comfortable man, the only way to compete with them was to also sell fake or substandard products, he cannot destroy his reputation built over decades by joining them to sell fake or substandard products. |

But the issue here is he should do his job and his major job is to ensure he does everything possible to enable people puts food on the table confidently and without excess stress and provide them with security . I for one don't think that's bad...but not doing the aforementioned there is nothing that you will say that will make people to like you. I always tell people if you take someone from his food filled one room apartment and puts him in a duplex, mansion or castle without food it's only a mater of time he will dislike you, insult you and go back to his one room . |

If not that you exported your baby factories into Yoruba land, you won't be concerned about what is going on in another man's land. If not that you traffic your hard drugs enroute the international airports in Yoruba land If not that you dropped out of Primary School, and jumped into Mallam Audu's trailer carrying Cows from Bornu through Igboland to Yoruba land to come and sell Gala and La Casera inside holdups in Yoruba land and sleep under bridges, then you would not be suffocating and convulsing over what happens in Yoruba land |
