Reading comments here and there, I'm not sure why it seems like the Igbos are now getting more sensitive or upset about the Yorubas lately, especially judging from the conversations and trends on Twitter. It's almost as if there's some growing tension or unspoken rivalry that keeps resurfacing. I honestly wish both sides would focus more on unity and mutual respect instead of fueling tribal sentiments. We're stronger together as Nigerians.
There's nowhere in the world where the locals unite with igbos. Yorubas made that mistake and should look for way to correct it before its too late.

Harassing the public under the guise of tradition should be criminalized. Masquerades are fond of doing this. And you wonder why they are resented by many in recent times. How about you display your culture peacefully? I thought the purpose of public parade of masquerades was to endear people towards indigenous traditions.

Unfortunately what these guys do evokes hatred towards them. This is how violence erupts. An imam is a religious leader in his right. He has followers who may not easily swallow this kind of shaming. I hope they meet him personally and apologize accordingly. This is not good!

Before commenting, please try to watch the video. He likely noticed or heard them approaching before riding his motorbike towards them, dressed in his Islamic attire it's unclear what he anticipated.If a lone masquerade in regalia entered an Islamic gathering, the reaction would likely be the same. This is Nigeria where everyone do an insane thing because of religion,either Christian,Muslim or traditionalist

Deal with the first sentence. Why are locals in their communities/cou tries not having problems with Yorubas or even hausas. These people have been travelling long before yeebos started travelling.

Simple, they lack THE RIGHT VALUES to survive in a SANE COMMUNITY.

See them. Bus stop mourners.

Your ancestors hide under the bed every Monday but it is snatched cap that is your problem.

No wonder your entire land is in turmoil because of 1 single bus stop in Lagos.
Which day will you lots admit you're from Ondo State or Ekiti or Oyo or Ogun or Osun?

Why are you permanently fixated on Lagos while the rest of your region turns to dust?
Have you seen the SE you seem to hate so much? Those people were destroyed during the civil war but they've built up their lands so why can't you Yorubas do same instead of concentrating on 1 State?
Haba!

The last 2 images are of Enugu State in Igboland, and those are images of where middle-class families live, but it looks like your banana island.

Travel more, open your eyes!

Before the tinubu presidency there was hardly any squabbles between the yorubas and Igbos. Everything fell apart when a tribalistic man was elected as president.
There has never been 1 single clash between the Igbos and Yorubas in history but numerous clashes between the yorubas and hausas but you don't care because the hausas aren't really doing better than y'all in your own cities. That's where the hate emanates from; your envious the Igbos came to your land and they're doing better than you

Some of you Yoruba hate it when an Igbo man is doing better than you, but you know you can't curse a man who God has blessed

I don't even need to argue with you because your point is baseless reason because the person that put on the costume you don't know maybe is he or she, maybe is old or young. You just decide to go out of point in order to impress your gullible people.

Not an excuse because you guys always hype how the younger ones respects elders in Yoruba culture.
