Armaggedon:
They take life easy by using their people's body parts for ritual but when an Igbo man prospers more than them they begin to envy him.

They show off the most by doing owambe at any slightest meeting but when an Igbo sprays money, they are thrown into mass envy, questioning his wealth and tagging EFCC again him.

The most ethnic minded people I've come across, yet they do not love one another. The fiercest celebrity rivalry and spat usually happen amongst them.

The biggest farmers of hate and injustice. Whoever is unpopular among his people becomes their closest ally and whoever is born among them learns to hate his people until he grows up to meet his people and learns the truth.

Even though I had spent two years in Ondo State as a child, it was when I arrived in Lagos during my post-university National Youth Service Corps scheme that I was mature enough to study the way of life of the Yoruba people.

When I get into a new environment, I study the way of life of the residents, in order to understand how and why they do things. Whatever I consider admirable, I copy it. Whatever I don’t consider special, I don’t copy.

This is the responsibility of everyone and it is taught from the home and beaten into your ears in most Yoruba families. If you're outside Yorubaland, the counsel of your parents and family will be ringing like a bell in your ears so you constantly remember that they are waiting for you at home.

You just want to mind your business and appreciate your host. We are very very careful not to get involved in the local politics of our hosts outside our region in the country. There's a reason why. Our progressive approach to politics and governance is completely different so there's no point getting involved in the politics of your host who are not familiar with your kind of progressive politics. If you want to do politics, come back home to your Yorubaland and do your politics.

This is a brilliant write up by Azuka. I have always loved his column. I remember his column protesting how people write their home address by inserting comma after the number in a wrong way. Thank you Azuka.

God bless yorubas.

God punish the other tribe

Yorubas and Igbos are as different as night and day, and that's why the British made a big mistake of putting both ethnic groups in one country

Yorubas and Igbos should have been in different countries

Not true. You are just saying this to be politically correct or to fraudulently exalt the culture of your ethnic group when it is undeserving compared to others.

Yoruba culture is far superior and more sophisticated in comparison to Igbo culture.

Look no further than the one example of how there is no culture of discrimination against the female child in a Yoruba community or household.

Compare to Igbo culture where, till today, a female eldest child, ostensibly because she is inferior to male siblings younger than her, cannot inherit the estate of her father.

Intelligent men dont talk for the sake of it. They try to ensure what they say make sense and/or can stand the test of factual and intellectual scrutiny.

This is one example alone I give yet many more exist, such as the Yorubas universally acclaimed respect for elders, to show Yoruba culture is vastly superior to that of Igbos even if you wish to delude yourself it is otherwise.

I dont expect different from you though because it is not in the nature of Igbos to give credit where due to then learn from others to become better.

Instead Igbos are automatically envious of and threathened by those they percieve as better to then be obsessed with badmouthing and running them down or comparing d1cks wtih them constantly.

EmiloCorn:
Yes I know, you just go to any food market like the one in Iddo, go to beans section, price or beg for like one empty beans rafia bag and buy for your relatives burial

Very cheap and dirty but straightforward. I love it

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.

Unintelligent Igbos and predictable whataboutism. Tribal marks were a way of identifying children to even their communal home in the past.

How can that, by any sensible person, be compared to societal enslavement of Osus and shameless discrimination against your own people and women also?
See superior culture people with very dirty lifestyle.
Your culture's dirty and scary tribal marks that makes you look resemble ojuju calabar or uncivilized apes, is a superior culture.
Don't forget that dirtyness is also part of your so called superior culture.
Wait oh,,, so prostrating to greet can also make a culture superior,,,
Yoruba and bragging eh,,, after bragging and boasting of superiority,,, you and you brothers will still end up crying that Igbos likes to bragg and chestbeat.

Is all these remnants of your backward and shamelessly discriminatory culture not even still visible today whereby Bianca Ojukwu is barred from contesting a political role in Anambra yet all Igbos want to be political leaders in the land of others?

Just accept others are superior and learn from them. There is no basis for comparing Yoruba and Igbo culture same as only a lunatic can claim light and darkness are similar.

Your article should've been accurate if the focus was mainly to beautify us (who are foreigners to these environment) with Yorubas' unique artributes and not what's lacking in other tribe who has an entire different idealogy.

Nigerians were living in harmony until tinubu/buhari/Apc happened at the national politics.
