Nobody is disturbing them o
I went to Yoruba line to do a slipper that only them are authorised to do.
No igbo shoe maker would do it once I showed them the design
They all said one thing "gaa n'ọdụ ndị Yoruba"
Go to Yoruba line.
Ekere ọrụ eke
This business is divided
Only the Yorubas do this type of foot wear.
We can not do it brother.
I smiled and said to myself imagine say these ones dey naira land 😂

Exactly😂😂
I find it amusing when some people claim that no other tribes settle in the Southeast.
Seriously, Social media has really exposed how ignorant some people can be.

Take Enugu for example from Coal Camp to Ogui, Abakpa, Uwani, New Haven, Achara Layout and Emene, Yorubas are well established.

Even at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, you’ll find plenty of Yoruba lecturers, traders and civil servants.

I once visited Onitsha and was surprised at how many Yorubas I saw actively trading in spare parts, textiles and household goods.

The main point is you'll never hear a Yoruba disrespect his host or called their land "no man's land" or claim to be the one that "developed" it. Yorubas integrate and respects their hosts.

They're grateful to the land of their host for whatever riches they are able to get there, not claiming to be better or denigrating their hosts.

Meanwhile, this is another classical case of harmonial and humanitarian angle to ethnic friendship between the Yorubas and the great people of alaigbo.

This is a Yoruba Oba reigning supremely in alaigbo( having came there in his adulthood) with no ethno-religio-regional discrimination against him but imagine what has been happening in the opposite side.

I also remember a lots of Profs in UNN (especially music/education/GST departments) and UNEC( business admin, college of medicine - Prof Bankole Olusina etc). The owner of one of the best school in Enugu is a Yoruba man.

Yoruba Oba is recognized in Enugu.
While Ibo Oba is a taboo in Lagos ?
I disagree with any King in another person's land.
Highest they can have Association with leaders.

An Interview with Oba Alhaji Abdulazeez Adebayo Olateju, The Oba Yoruba in Enugu,
Who settled in Enugu 46 years ago, in 1979

Excerpts:
Interviewer: Where are you from, sir?
Oba: I am from Ede, in Osun State.

Interviewer: You speak Igbo so fluently. Where did you learn it from?
Oba (responding in Igbo): I learned the language here in Enugu. God gave me the gift of understanding languages and the ear to hear. Many people often wonder if I was born or schooled here, but that’s not the case. I was already an adult, fully grown when I relocated to Enugu from Osun. I even voted during the era of Jim Nwobodo and later for Shehu Shagari.

Interviewer: I also learned you speak Hausa. Did you learn it here too?
Oba (replying in Hausa): Yes, I speak and understand Hausa fluently but I have never lived in the North. I picked it up here in Enugu, just by listening to people around me.

Oba: Everywhere I go in Igboland, people take me as one of their own. My grandmother who once tried to discourage me from settling here in Igboland but before she passed in 2012 was very happy and always thanking God for leading me to Igboland. I kept bringing all my relatives here and today they are all doing well because Igboland is good to us.

Correction, this is a classic case of the Yorubas enjoying peace and acceptance in Igbo land. This Yoruba man is the King of Yorubas in Enugu, no Igbo cares. But if Yorubas hear that there is a King of Igbos in Lagos or Ibadan, they will call for his arrest. To this day, I have never heard that a Yoruba man who went to Igbo land was discriminated against

But I have heard of countless cases of discrimination against Igbos in Yoruba land.

Aa I have said many times, Yorubas and Igbos have no business being together in one country

DatNiggaDaz:


@OP come and see the excuse I just talked about

plumcomm:
