I don't get like with the amount of bashing and insults this particular tribe keep throwing at us why do they keep flocking to our region in their numbers. It's very rare to find a Yoruba in igboland but the other way is super common so the question is why?
I blame the Europeans for forcing us together into one country. People like this are supposed to be required a visa.
because it is no mans land.

people migrate everyday, even animals do so.
you yorubas migrate to UK and other parts of the world. british have not cried out.

if you don't like it, that's up to you

Lagos is Awori land not Yoruba land.
Lagos is Yorubaland

Awori are Yorubas

Yorubas are very fearful tribe and can only exist where there is opportunity to betray others.

Before the white man came Yoruba and Igbo were different countries.
The name igbo is more homogenous as the people of eastern part of Nigeria called themselves igbo long before the colonial masters came. Same cannot be said for the western part of Nigeria as they are more heterogenous and called themselves names based on their dialect, towns or empire. We had Egbas, Ijebus, Eguns, Aworis, Oyos, Ijeshas, Ekiti, Gbogan etc. They never had a unifying name called "yoruba".

I'm not being a bigot I'm stating facts. If not for the Berlin conference merging us together to form a country. Individual tribes would have been countries and you will need a visa to visit the other country.

The number of igbos in jos is more than 50 times the number of igbos in Ibadan but Ibadan will not allow igbos rest. Igbos in kaduna and kano is more than all igbos in Yoruba land aside Lagos, mowe, ibafo, badagry, Agbara and Ota but yorubas will carry igbo matters on their head. Tufiakwa.
we want it to reduce to 1%.
We don't want igbos here.

Prosperity isn't solely dependent on the land; it's the effort and initiative you put into it that yields success. Unfortunately, many of your people struggle with poverty. Meanwhile, Igbo individuals are proactive, traveling to various parts of Nigeria, such as Abuja, Lagos, and Kano, to improve their lives. They're not limited by their environment; instead, they seize opportunities and create a better future.

Igbo culture values progress and self-improvement. For example, I've had the opportunity to live in multiple cities, including Lagos, where I was born and educated, and later moved to other parts of the country for university and career opportunities. This mobility and adaptability have contributed to our success.

I encourage you to look beyond the challenges and focus on personal growth. Your people are respected and valued in our community. It's essential to move forward and not dwell on past grievances.

Additionally, I advise your people to be cautious when selling land to Igbo individuals. This could have long-term consequences, potentially leading to economic and political empowerment for our community. I've witnessed our people strategically investing in properties and businesses, which has contributed to their prosperity.

Igbos going to which SW shitholes to do what.Are they going to look for all those dirty girls because it can not be for money. The only SW igbos go is lagos.And just like all yoruba is moving and claiming lagos. Why don't you say the shithole state you are from and let me tell you about it.Name one igbo billionaire in your shithole beside lagos. The few igbos you see in your state are boys that don't have good capital to compete in igbo states and lagos. Is it those states with abandoned buildings and native doctors. Thr is no person from abroad meeting in my village in any shithole.You can not give what you don't have to them unless the person likes poverty. You that most in those shitholes are all transport union workers or taxi driver. Imagine you want to make money you go to ife,Oshogo,ilorin,ibadan akura etc to do what exactly .When places like kaduna,kano,sokoto,jos never finish.The SW are the greatest enemy of igbos since the creation of nigeria. For free I won't stay in SW even lagos. Any igbo still making investment in lagos is a complete fool
The north will remove SW president so that all those things carrying igbos to lagos can be moved to Abuja and other regions

They were called Otu Ife which means Ife Diaspora
They are still called Ifes in Togo
but the Hausas called them all Yorubas since the 16th Century

There are Igbos in ogun state too. When writing jamb many Igbos would apply to Yoruba universities in SW like UNILAG, LASU, OOU, OAU, UI, Unillorin etc.

This dunce doesn't even know that there are also a lot of yorubas that are hustling in igboland the other day I watched a video in this same forum of the ongoing construction of 300 bed hospital in enugu and was surprised to see a lot of yorubas that were peacefully working in the site undisturbed.
