We are the biggest and so what?

China, Korea and Japan are the most conservative countries in the world. How many of your 'detribalized countries' are above them in Tech and Economy?

How many of your detrialized states is above Lagos and Ogun in Tech and Economy?


Dude, nobody cares about this nomenclature anymore, what counts is the Economic power and they have it
Bro, I don't even know why they, acclaimed "supermen" of the World, are whining like toddlers. Whatever they claim Yorubas are doing, they have our express permission to retaliate and do same to us.

It is not today some of us have been warning them that they will really feel it when the progressive and sophisticated Yorubas they have mocked, denigrated and fought against in their own land, for so long, begin to say enough is enough.

This is a cold war whose only winner can be the side that needs the other for nothing at all whereas the side that will lose, and lose big, is that which relies on the opponent for everything from safe place to live, grow and rasie families to market presence to sell their goods as the glorified migrant traders and shopkeepers they are.

"Make your bed, lay in it." Simple and that is what we are seeing now.

I watched Showunmis video or inter with Seun of channels. I love how he blamed the South Easterners.

For 8 years, Northerners witnessed brutal bigotry directed at us from the SE. It was pure hatred. For religious reasons, we did not push back.

The same thing they also tried to do with the South westerners, and they met their match and are now screaming all over Twitter LOL.

They wanted the bigotry to be one sided like they are used to and the South westerners said it's aura for aura.

Some of the bigotry directed at us below.
Post omojuwa and dipo bigotry also

Tell me the Igbo city you lived and experienced tribal hate.

I had lived and worked in Enugu & Owerri. Those guys are so welcoming to strangers.

The Yorubas in other states are equally welcoming to strangers but you see these Lagos Yorubas, they are too hostile
.
[color=#006600][/color]

The whole issue about tribalism all boils down to Lagos politics.
Igbos are hardworking people.
It's all about envy. Due to the fact that Igbos invest so much in their host communities, they don't look for trouble.
Everything is all about politics of bitterness and that's the only way the wicked politicians can win elections.
Majority of the people are hungry and uninformed, which the politicians use it to their advantage
Is it not better they let the Igbos form their country? And let those who hate the Igbos all live together and enjoy themselves.

You keep lying to your selves that we are 'one Nigeria', propagating a non existent unity, but you are surprised that there is widespread ethnic bigotry?

Oh please!
4 fingers pointing at you wink
You're not the only tribe who loves your land but you are the only tribe that loves to keep others away. Until you learn to share.....

Thanks to Lagos state government under the administration of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu

If he didn’t achieve anything, he formalized ethnic hate.

….and it’s just the beginning, it will degenerate to far more worse scene ruin. At this point, even a genocide cannot be ruled out.

We're talking of curbing ethnic bigotry and this one is fanning the flames.

You live in Lagos, a yoruba-majority region. Naturally, you're more likely to encounter Yorubas in all aspects of life, the good, the bad, and the tribalistic, simply because of population density. If you lived in Onitsha or Kano, your observation will lean differently.

The President himself encouraged it !

Bayo Onanuga and Reno Omokri are the biggest spinners of this narrative. The FG has been warned on these two characters earlier.

They both have documented narratives that have ignited this narrative.

Until it gets to an elevated level before they take action.

I am not Yoruba. That biggest tribalism title goes to the Igbos. It's so entrenched among Igbos that they don't even know they are practicing tribalism.
A few of them know, they speak out but they are in the extreme minority.

Even Peter Obi again in 2023 declared a religious war. That's religious bigotry.

Then if they have no one to direct their bigotry against, they direct it at themselves. Just like the call Ebonyi people Fulani Igbos
You forget to tell us about Oba of Lagos that threatened to throw all Igbos in Lagos inside lagoon if they don't vote APC candidate.

Funny enough the ethnic bigotry is by the supporters of the big men because the big folks all frolick, wine and dine together. It's their supporters taking things extreme. Nigerian youths need to be wise. As for me ,I nor send anybody anywhere. I am fighting for my life and I appreciate, respect and support everyone and anyone that comes my way, irrespective of tribe or religious beliefs

It’s spreading because the APC leaders endorse it, they have institutionalized it. It’s everywhere now including JAMB, WAEC, everywhere you go. We have to vote Tinubu out of office as a matter of national security.
Your leader Obi is the worst of the tribal and religious fanatics in Nigeria. You people are the worst of the tribalists in Nigeria but always cry foul when you get the same treatment in return.

They are the worst by a long shot. They are always occupied with tribal and religious bigotry. Even if you meet them abroad, their first question is about your tribe and religion. They are mostly fanatics.

Don't mind them

When Buhari was in power, they referred to Yoruba as Fulani slaves

When Tinubu is in power, they refer to Yoruba as tribalists

Blame IPOB and Pitobi, the religious war strategist.

Since Jonathan lost his election, Afghanistanis took it upon themselves to hate on everyone they perceived remotely contributed to Jonathan's loss, especially the Yorubas. Kanu saw this as a golden opportunity to be leveraged on and cash out, and boy he took huge advantage of it. After the birth of his brand of Biafra agitation, nothing has remained the same.

On this thread, they'd be the biggest to scream blue murder, but oldies like myself know them through and through. They can only deceive others but certainly not me.

But they'd be the ones accusing everyone else as being the culprit. What Yorubas and Northerners witnessed in the hands of Easterners is unmatched in the realms of HATE and bigotry. We still have all their receipts here.

You cant hail my kind gesture but you can criticise my harsh treatment. Who is f-o-o-l-i-n-g who?
People had ipob insults and Propaganda unleashed against them daily just because they received you with love and warmth
and ipob's elders who should have called them to order long ago stood there looking like people the last bus from Kano to Onitsha had left behind

Of course they will become wise

You are not accommodating. That part of the country was open to all because it was the former capital, and you couldn't do shit about who comes and goes. There you have it.
