Nigerian Popular Ethnic Groups And Their Main Flaws. by AAEEI(op): 4:49pm On Nov 30, 2025
Nigerian popular ethnic groups and their main flaws.

I wish that we can take the highlighting of our flaws in good faith and work on them to improve ourselves.

1. Yoruba = unrivaled bigotry, nepotism and tribalism; lots of social ignorance; penchant to sit on the fence and lacking in ideological beliefs; deceptive and hypocritical.
2. Igbo = prone to emotional immaturity; inconsistent (sometimes mobbish, sometimes extremely self centered); inability to look inward and pivot accordingly; unnecessarily loud and boastful.
3. Hausa = close-minded naivety bothering on foolishness; inability to take critical decisions; group mental laziness and backwardness, extreme mob mentality.
4. Fulani = heartless, souless and murderous; unthinkingly conceited, scheming; given to extreme violence and unrivaled narrow mindedness, nepotic and hypocritical.
6. Kanuri = religious fanaticism, conniving and hypocritical.
7. Bini (Edo): shallow mindedness, not given to depth
8. Ijaw = quick to anger, impatience, vengeful.
9. All Nigerian groups = lovers of vanity; unwillingness to adapt and stick to a philosophy; doers of anything for the stomach; inability to reason with one another; general religious zealotry.

Note: If your ethnic group is not mentioned specifically, don't rejoice. Yours share among the flaws of others, depending on geographic proximity.

No ethnic group is without its own flaws.

All tribes posses extreme bigotry, tribalism. In fact the least bigot tribe is the most accomodating and that arguable Yoruba.

Story for the gods. Yoruba and tribalism/nepotism/bigotry are like 6 and half a dozen.

You are not making sense. Yorubaland is home to millions of Nigerians from different parts of the country. You know, as some people say, human beings are like a mirror and if you smile at it, it will smile back at you.
If your experience of Yoruba folks is one of tribalism, nepotism etc. Perhaps you should look at yourself.
The fact that you started this thread in an indication to me personally that you are what you accuse others of.

The only thing that made Yorubas look like they are accommodating is "Lagos" which happened to be the commercial and economic capital of Nigeria, take Lagos away and you will realize how nepotistic, ethnocentric and cunning the Yorubas are.



The op made a very good analysis of all the major tribes he mentioned.


Another flaw the Igbos have is our liberal mindedness which make us to easily forget things that happened to us in the past without taking lessons or precautions to prevent future occurrence.


For instance, based on past experiences in Nigeria, Igbos are not supposed to be investing massively outside the Southeast, especially when it comes to big structures and landed properties, we dont learn from our past mistakes and it has been a great challenge for Igbos in Nigeria and one of the things others use against us.


Igbos must learn to take lessons from the past in order to have a better future.


This same flaw make Igbos to easily accept and embrace just anybody that tend to speak truth that somehow favour Igbos without subjecting that person to test of time. Many cunning Nigerians like Reno Omokri, Femi Fani Kayode and co have taken advantage of Igbos in this regard too

If Yoruba are tribialist, then why many tribes building houses in Ibadan, and other parts in Ogun, Osun and do businesses successfully . Everyone like to use Lagos as an example but forget in many part of yoruba areas, many tribes come and do businesses here in Yoruba area with little or no disturbance. The problem is things that will not fly in other tribal region happens here in Yoruba. It is when the guests start acting like they are host, problems is bound to happen.
Yoruba are diplomatic and will do what favour them
If you do not like Yoruba, kuku say so and be a tribalist.

It has being like that since the colonial days as the southwest was the seat of the colonial government not like yorubas invited anyone.

Then they should have left when British left abi if you want to use that Logic. No one is forcing anyone to come. I don hear Ibadan get brown roof yet other tribes come here and do business. They say Lagos dey smell, yet they come and do business. They say Abeokuta is boring, yet they come and do business

The bolded is a lie. If really yorobah land is home to millions of Nigeria, stopping people from voting the candidate of their choice (like what we saw during the 2023 elections) wouldn't have happened.

People's properties and business areas are being demolished in yorobah land out of h@te and tribal sentiment, is it supposed to be so in a place you said is home for all?

Oga stop lying abeg.

What is this one saying, Lagos State governor are demolishing house prone to flooding and other areas that are not by approved government regardless of tribes. No one is picking a certain tribe and saying let bulldozer this Ijaw man house in Lagos.

I saw a video during the election when a Yoruba guy in one of the Igbo states had to run for his life when a mob of Igbo guys tried to attack him for no reason other than being Yoruba.
Should I then use that as the experience of all Yoruba folks in Iboland?

If you went through what igbos went through, you would have come out with a trauma worst than that of the jews that treat and earthworm same way they would tear a snake.


Most people who lose everything in life eventually don't come back except they comeback with a great mindset. Nigeria happened to igbos and igbos bounced back.

Youruba is easily the most bigoted and tribalistic in Nigeria. The prevention of non Yoruba voters in Lagos in 2023 is a tiny example of that.

So the Yoruba voters that voted for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour are tribalistic also huh Abi since we can use your logic. Poltical thuggery happens everywhere in many States in Nigeria. At least a non yoruba was on a ballot box, can that happen in your home state? It can happen anywhere even in your home State. Na naija we dey,

LIES!
We have seen series of heartbreaking videos where, the occupants of the hundreds of the demolished buildings in lagos, cry over no formal notice given to them before the demolition. And this can only happen when some group of evil men want to witch-hunt a certain group of people using government power.

Check your bigoted and tribalistic tribe first before others.Why did Ghana,South Africa etc wouldn't want you in their nations?
All states in the SE out of bigotry,sent packing non indigenes from their civil services.That is a chronic bigotry which is unheard not to talk of giving your tribeman...igboman... almost 98% of the SE votes while SW voted for that Igboman and the Northerner,while the North also voted for the Yoruba man and Igbo man...Yes,they won states there.

The bolded has being an over flogged lies and propaganda from the camp of ronub@nd!ts. The last time I checked, Igbos are still in those countries you mentioned doing well with their businesses and day to day activities.

Lastly, Igbos voted OBJ and Yar'Adua don't forget that in a hurry.

Instead of posting the good side of a tribe, you are concluding with prejudice; the evil nature ...

List the tribes in Europe or your heavenly nations, without flaws. Because i know people like you are mostly loaded with inferiority complex to the whites.

Why happy shaming yourself huh
