Still doesn't erase the fact that igbos migrated to Asaba from the hiterland of Alaigbo.

What makes it a fact?

That you say so?

Were you there

That is just your wishful imagination

HenryWilliams:
If they're not Yoruba, what are they?
Other tribes also inhabit Kwara state alongside Yoruba tho they are the vast majority..so tell me..which tribe are these so called "kwarans"?
Nupe? Tapa? Talk now.
Oponu. You think Yoruba forces other tribes to assimilate?
That's an Igbo trait.
Land grabbing.

They are not pure Yoruba,I didn’t say it,they did so themselves

Stop Crying

Gustavowhite:
I lived with Kwarans in Lagos then,they never accept to be yoruba eventhough they speak the language and bear yoruba names

Just that I can’t post videos here,he said he isn’t yoruba,that he can’t call himself fully yoruba that every Kwarans is mixed

Nayturalistic:
Gaslighting, manipulation, hypocrisy, and the real tribalism, No tribe in this entity called Nigeria has all these traits more than the Igbos. This is the bitter truth.

That is why it is always important to critically note and follow history. When Ahmadu Bello said and I quote, "we the northerners are not alive to their responsibilities", I felt that in my bone. Same way I also felt that the North were being selfish or were just trying to exercise their dominance in the Nigerian political realm. Little did I know that he and the foremost Northerners had seen the Igbos for what they truly are.

This renaming of streets of a thing that the Westerners are now up to, is probably the most subtle thing they'll ever do to project back their dominance over their lands and protection of their heritage and culture, at the very least. This Eastern folks should really be ready for much more and I repeat, there is nothing that will happen to them that they haven't done to others.

Now to my main point and issue I have with these folks- tribalism. This word has been a word each of them have mastered well, but without understanding what it truly means to be tribalistic. The Igbos are the typical pots that call the kettle black and it is unfortunate that they have no one to ever call them to order and set them on the right path. If the last election is anything to go by, the Igbos exhibited severe tribalism and the statistics of the votes will always prove this. All in the bid to have their kinsmen in power, they are ready to even turn on their mothers. Not to mention what the international community thinks about them. And the stewpid Biafra they all keep clamoring for, someone needs to educate these folks that the Yorubas are not their obstacles as to attaining that. Infact, if this country is divided today, the Yorubas stand to be the biggest gainers and I am sure the politically informed ones will concur.

But as it is, and from now on, the Yorubas have assimilated and digested Ahmadu Bellos statement of 1960 and will now become dead to their responsibilities. No matter what. No one ever hated them, but the hatred embedded in them from childbirth will never ever allow them to see the good in other tribes. Yoruba this, Yoruba that, and yet they refuse to leave a region where they feel "threatened".

In conclusion, I have started a book on these Eastern neighbors of ours and this book is intended to go as viral as possible. We will only respect those who respects us. You do not get to be in our region (all because the constitution allows it), and still be breeding so much hatred towards us, saying all sorts to the same people who have always wanted the best for you. From now on, we will put off the tags of being "accommodating" and proudly wear the garments of being "buygots", until you people learn that the Yorubas have never been your enemy and you start showing the much expected respect.

You are making one mistake in this assumption of yours. I use to think like that before and then I stopped and looked at it from another angle. See the thing is, it's not that igbos are tribalistic or whatever, the real thing is Igbos like Arabs don't really have much respect for anything nor anyone for that long no matter what as long as you are sensed as an opposing idea to whatever it is an average Igbo man or woman may have going on at any given time. Even that line of sight doesn't extend beyond their own self.. as in person to person.. it just so happens it becomes a general trait that their culture allows. That's why it is easy to disregard anyone, organization, culture or sect that doesn't align with any of their individual benefit. Same goes with respect. It doesn't extend even to pillar symbols of respect in any human being which in this case parents. It's not unusual for an Igbo to be disrespectful towards even their own elders and kinsmen. So no it's not tribalistic, it's just they really don't give a shit about people who are not in line with their goal that much. Simple as that

This lie from sad waste ners has been over flogged and they're still saying it. I don't know why they derive joy in telling lies and propaganda.

Oga, apart from Lagos (that was developed by majorly Igbos and non Igbos), which other yoruba state do you think is more developed than any of the SE states?

Don't be a mumu.Only cute Abiola is "they"?
When Fulanis,Nupe migrated to Ilorin,they inter -married with the Yorubas,so there is bound to be Yoruba Fulani and Yoruba Nupe bloodline too.

When Igala colonised Igboland in 1445,there were inter marriages between the Igalas and Igbos.There is no pure Igbos especially in Anambra,Onitsha to be precise.
One of the Chiefs of the Armed forces is an Igboman of the Igala stock.

Even just only Ibadan city is more developed than the entire Igboland infrastructurally and you know it but just acting ostrich.

Here's Asaba people in the recent Igbo festival in London 2025 going over to the Nteje people to greet them being their parent. If you understand Igbo language, you can hear their greetings to Nteje people.

Why does nairaland allow Yorubas insulting others but when I call somebody “ignorant”,they ban me for an hour

Tell your Igala to come and claim their prize,that’s all I have to say

😂 😂 😂 😂 Igala colonized Igboland? In 1945? Even in Kogi state, there are still many Igbo communities till date. Rather, many Igalas assimilated into Igbo communities and are today Igbos. Where then is the colonization? Where's their culture in the areas you claimed they colonized if they were actually colonizers? Yeriba hatred will never allow your mind to think things through before writing them.
I challenge you to mention just one Onitsha indigene that says he's a mixed blood.

If only you got a good education you would have known Asaba itself is an Igbo city, just 5mins drive from Onitsha.

If today, Lagos mainland is separated from Lagos Island, does it stop any of them from being a Yoruba land? That's what happened between Onitsha and Asaba

Yes truth that Asaba is not Igbo City, but coup lead by Asaba man is Igbo coup

U are an intelligent igbo man.

Also, A Yoruba man named Col. Ibrahim Adetunji Taiwo alongside Murtala Muhammad led the infamous Asaba Massacre were over 700 men purely of Asaba indigenes were forced to slaughtered in cold blood. Today, the same Yoruba people are saying Asaba people are no longer Igbos.

Dem plenty die. How did you think some Yoruboid words entered the Igbo lexicon. It was via the Igalas (Yoruboid)
