Last time I travelled to my village,I saw many Yorubas in my village and I just laugh.

U see tribalism...a taylor in my hamlet from Ekiti state has a farm land he is farming on,he said he prays to find a woman to marry here.

He personally told me,his parents were against his decision to settle in the east but he never knew they were all wrong.

He was the one who sewed my dad's clothes during my aunty's burial.

In our community market,I met them plenty...but the way we IGBOS shield strangers,it is against our tradition and culture to endanger a sojourner in our land.
That is why u will hear this saying in igbo land as a whole that "Onye ọbịa enweghị onye iro"

We protect strangers,guard them,feed them when necessary and fight our brothers and sisters because of them.

I am not making out words. That is igbos for u any day.
We don't think of anyone dominating us,we believe in division of labour.

Myopic...if you ask me.
The North took in most of South, inspite of its ails in illiteracy and poverty which was taken as advantage. However, we tried living together.
Let's not forget the politics behind the Civil war though.
Fast forward....Drugs. Prostitution and co was proliferated by whom.....
Islam doesn't take shitz......

Wetin concern Charly Boy and Amala Day? grin

As for the first picture.

Charly boy carried out the fraudulent acts abroad where he was without parental supervision. He also described his past behaviour as stupid and dumb. “Though that was not the right way and I don’t advocate that people should… I was just stupid and dumb.”

Has Yoruba ever call your land a no mans land?
Have they ever boast of dethroning your king or chief?

Despite staying in your land, has anyone come out openly to say they're the one feeding your dad because they're paying him rent?

Ever try to install their Oba or fight for your local or state government election?

The truth is that many people relying deeply on this tribal card are doing it for selfish reasons.Must of the people propagating this tribal division don't even have any investment both in their state or region our outside the region.must of them don't travel.Travel is part of education.I grow up as a boy in my community,umoru is a neighbor to sell onions in our afor market.He was a good and respected neighbor.i don't buy onions when he is around.I love taken herbs today because of one yoruba family that are into agbo in my community.Anytime I have fever my mom will take me to the place,they will give me that bitter drink and I don't fear if they are yoruba or not.I use to give them yam and other farm produce when coming back from the farm.The urhobo s were bringing starch and fish in our community without anybody stopping them.Till today in my village hausa and fulanis still control the meat market in my community.The Muslim have a big burial ground in my community and nobody is telling them they want to take over our community.The whole tribal stuff started because of the greediness of Awolowo and Zik, and that was what led to the proclamation by Abraham Adesana that lagos is a no man land because he was a strong supporter of Zik.I love Nigeria, but I want Nigeria to divide because the hatred is too much before it will lead to open confrontation which might be very dangerous.

Show me where Yorubas have degraded Igbo culture or claim that Igbo land is no mans land. Even you people use this same Amala to nsult Yorubas, our food our culture. We don't go pass our boundaries we respect our host.
Meanwhile where are the many places in Igbo land where Yorubas have oba? Why are you misinforming people? Just imagine!

Some of you think your people don't travel.

This evil temp raising won't be good for everybody on the long run. One day it may lead to ethnic confrontation and maybe massacre.

Why would you have a king on another man's land? Has any Yoruba ever claimed that Igbo land is no mans land. When you people learn to respect boundaries people will respect you.
