oniovo me. You should know no matter how close u're to them wen it comes to indigene stuff they will boycott you. I don't relate with them not even a friend can't stand their behaviour (female).

Hmmm...that's odd.

If you hadn't grown up there, I would have wanted to know what it really feels like, marrying that far from home...

Run for ya life.

@TV01, you have said a good and encouraging point. I want to believe you are from Ijebu?
As to your question, I belong to people of Akoko land in Ondo state. So am I good to marry your Ijebu person?

hmmm. Growing up here has nothing to do with marrying here cos each family has its own tradition. It's really wonderful once u know who u're dealing with and he/she is able to create boundaries for the spouse and family.

Lmao @ another Ijebu hating thread based on jejune tales smh.

Forbes listed the 10 richest Nigerians, and four of them are Ijebus. Meaning 40% for a small Yoruba subgroup that is not even 2% of Nigeria's population. That is all I care about, and that is definitely what defines the average Ijebu person.

Keep hating while we keep dominating everyone in isolation.

Proudly Ijebu!

TV01:
Joy83,

I can confidently tell you that the Ijebu are quite sniffy about marrying out, and don't unduly concern themselves about those thinking of marrying in.

They are respected amongst the other Yoruboid clans, whom they themselves consider as "awon ara oke".

Amongst the paramount Youruba they are;

The most well-read
The most widely travelled
The most astute politicians
The best bureaucrats
The chieftest and shrewdest entrepreneurs

They are aspirational for their sons and their daughters, with clear role expectations for both. Any vestigial baggage - i.e. jazz - is being relinquished and becoming a thing of the past.

They never willingly surrendered to foreign invaders and till this day remain unbowed and unbroken.

As per my opening and last points, they are secure in their homeland and comfortable within themselves. More than content to keep it Ijebu and happy to be isolationist .

While our women are consulting with our lawyers, our men are sharpening their spears. Ewe So Omo Alare

Yes they are..I don't know about the brutual when crossed o but really who won't be brutual when you have built a home with all you have and then the man (mostly the muslim part openly and the 'christians' codedly) goes and marries one sugar cane legged gal as second wife

Am all for openess in marriage but there is a reason why the older generation ijebu women acquired properties(thus becoming landladies coogar ) in their names and that of their children.

ChristyG:

Lolzzzzzzzzz, I am in love with one of them ni, and I wanted to clear my negative orientation in order to focus on the relationship... Lol

Abi, you don't like the collaboration ni?

coogar:


don't send your lawyers.....
i said "according to what i researched/gathered from people." what i said wasn't my opinion - i am just recanting what people generally think of ijebu folks.

Its all beef and hating joor funny enough I am not fully ijebu but I loved my ijebu side so much that I married one

They are wise women. That's why

Issues like jazz and being stingy

The jazz bit like TV said is less common these days with more and exposure.As for stingy they are just very good money managers and tend to be quite strict with budgeting.I see that alot in my mum and my husband and they rarely ever fall into financial difficulties. They don't spend impulsively and I have one kain confidence that my hubby always has something somewhere no matter how much he says he is skint. Despite that you can't find people who like the finer things of life as much as them.

dere is nothing bad in it but is just that i found out dat,most of d people who say those things are mostly from una area.d most annoying experience i had with an ondo person hating on ijebu person was when i was doing my a-levels in ibadan,d man(sociology teacher) potrayed ijebu pple as all sorts infact he totally maligned other yoruba groups while he claimed that ondo pple are d best thing since slice bread.u pple shuld give them a break jor

Abi? How can the biggest "throwers down" be stingy...does that make any kind of sense ?


TV

^{...or should that be "throw downers"? Whatever...}

SAMBARRY:
lol you this woman you won't kill me

which one you con like

ondo
ekiti
lagos
abeokuta
Ife
which of them

IJEBU IGBO!!!!

A yoruba man from was Lagos curious and asked thesame question as the op, and he got this response from a fellow yoruba man.

Ijebu People are stingy.
Their men are still manageable but their women are venomous(Most Yoruba males have been warned severely to stay off their women).
Statistics say there are more Landladies in Ijebu than Landlords cos most of their women are widows who were directly/indirectly responsible for their husbands' death.

I also gathered the reasons they are despised by other Yoruba people is because the I jebus took advantage of them in the Slave-trade way back.
They did set up illegal "toll-gates" where they introduced illegal tax to other Yoruba clans involved in the Slave-trade and they made loads of money at their expense.

Fetishism is everywhere in Nigeria so i don't really buy that as an excuse.
Although, it appears Ijebu people are more into it than others but it's really a weak excuse.
However, you must kill an Ijebu woman first before you even attempt to smother a Black Mamba. . . .They are fatal!!!

there's no tribe in nigeria that is jazz-free. i am not perturbed at all concerning jazz. stinginess & being prudent go hand in hand. it's mostly an individualistic trait.

what is more disturbing is the role they were alleged to have played during the trans-atlantic slave trade. the ijebus had the first contact with the europeans among the yoruba people so they benefitted immensely & even frustrated the other yoruba clans from making profit.

legend has it that the ijebus introduced their own tax before allowing the ijeshas, ondos, ekitis & ibadan slave merchants to ferry their slaves through ijebu land & this ate into their profit. personally, i think this is their major beef with the ijebus.

The Ijebus were never slavers.
There was a toll for goods - of whatever kind - passing through our homelands.

Shrewd business sense I'd say.

history says they were slavers.....capturing slaves from neighbouring towns & selling to the white men. there's a book i read sometime ago detailing this with factual evidence.
