Every human race, economy, people, country etc. has one or two advantage over others like we seen in United State and the people of Israel. No man is an island. Admit what you dont have and extend hands to people that have them. China has a long histroy of coping into other invention to drive. Yet America a world power still need China somewhere. For the fact, the Igbo remain the most business and greatest industrial mind people in Nigeria aka entrepreneurs. The strength and the presence of their hardworks are visible across Nigeria, in every state and abroad. So it should be easy for other people to discover and work on their natural abilities, then going about picking on other people's potentials. Work more to develop your strength and that area of ur weakness is someone/people strength simple.That my stand, you cannot do your own and do mine too. Go and do what you know best. Am not here to get you any list.
You funny illiterates are not only baffling but laughable. because Turks are retail business guys in Germany so they control the economy. ditto for southeastern Asians in London. You fools should go figure why ogun state is fast turning to an industrial hub. you lots can keep shouting while others are winning the economic war with there mouth close. you don't want to know how much of the economy the dirty cheap guinea wearing and tattered slippers aboki is controlling. only noise like swarming bees.

Our politicians have successfully damaged Nigerian youths psyche.

All they care about is ethnic superiority, political affiliation and correctness, and the illusion of being special.

You all are living an illusion. The world is leaving Africans/Nigerians behind at a fast pace and no amount of false sense of importance will change the fact that u are existing in the part of the world that is backwards.

There is nothing special about been Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. You didn't choose these tribes based on any special decision making skills, you just found yourself in it.

These foolishness that has become a daily occurrence on nairaland has to stop.

How I miss the days of Harakiri, sisikill, Debosky, Mrbrownjay, ajanlekoko, kastumoto, and a host of old forumites that contributed maturely.

A million likes for your post.
One begin to wonder if people have an opportunity to choose their tribes before coming to this world..
Instead of them to develop themselves and their tribes, they will be posting hates comments about tribes. I wonder if by belonging to one tribe, you will be a higher or lesser human.
At the end of it,they will say the whites are racists, so are we any better than they are.
Its only on rare occassions that you see an a recognized influential figure making tribal comments.
As for me, whether I'm an Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw or any other tribe, I am a human being with every characteristics of human.

Are you looking for the reasons why igbos hate yoruba?

The number one reason is because of your BETRAYAL & BACK STABBING nature.

Apart from the one Awo did against Ojukwu and the ones that happen in the past.

The most recent one is your betrayal against GEJ a southerner.Everbody knows that this man called Babaonechance will not perform,you still went ahead and voted him.

Don't even say that their is no agreement btw SE\SS and SW,because when SE\SS voted OBJ a yorubaman two times;were there any agreement?
how u take knw Baba no perform?

If Ogun is growing, i guess Anambra is sitting down. American just discover a new like earth after exploring the whole 9 planets which no country have achieve before. Yester years they were the first in the Moon. And am saying that there are race, people or countries that lead the rest world while other fellows in one area of potential. Get lost if u think my opinion is not fact enough. Identify that our pontential and build on it is that what you cannot understand that people are different in human race. Nobody is talking about one multnational company somewhere. The North are well known for their agric potentials just like the Niger Delta are rooted with crude oil. Or do you have one oil well in Taraba state? Then exploring the resources of North/South, side by side is what i mean by develop what you have while i do mine.

You failed to understand me. Each tribe is great and unique in one way or the other. My position has been develop that which make you great. It can be natural resources. In the past it was cocoa in the west, groundnut North and palm oil East. Develop along people's potential. Thats my position.

I know you're trying to make your inferior self feel good but its okay.

First of all Yoruba shouldn't even be in the same sentence with igbo if you know about history. it's even a bigger INSULT! that we're being compared with you. you know deep inside you its an insult to the Yoruba nation

The same people whose language we wrote its first primer?


The same people who were unknown prior to colonialism?

The same people we educated by giving free education?

The same people who can't breathe without coming to our land?

The same people whose land we don't go to?

People who were still walking unclad years after we were already clothed?


Are these the people you're putting in the same sentence with Yoruba people?

Anyways i blame it on the OP who probably has no knowledge of yoruba people and its history

Honestly the fact that we live together in the same country is the source of all these garbage. we've descended so low to to the extent that we're now exchanging jibes with "tribes" with no relevant history .Obviously the union has benefited you all more because they say "familiarity breeds contempt". originally this shouldn't even be a discussion if the red idiots never merged us together. For heaven's sake we're talking about a yoruba nation with a deep history, language, culture, arts.civilization,religion, literature,medicine. a nation that has fought wars in comparison with some wandering tribe . A nation that has produced some of the greatest artefacts in the history of the black race. you know deep inside you, you feel really good when you're been compared to the Yoruba nation to you its an honor. because you know ordinarily if not for the red idiots you wouldn't even be a topic today
Are you not contradictory


You believe Igbos are nobodies but yet kick against their call for BIAFRA. grin


The day Awo shouted One Nigeria, was the day he accepted the fact that Yorubas can't survive without Igbos


FACT cool

I see you cannot contain your deep-seated hate, resentment and envy towards the Igbos...even American government is aware of it!


"Igbos are wandering Jews of West Africa - gifted, aggressive, westernized, and at best, envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the Federation---" (a White House Memo on Biafra January 28, 1969 to President Nixon by Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger) (Source : U.S Foreign Relations Documents Volume 5 , 1969)

Dr. Thomas Sowell, renowned American philosopher in one of his books recognized four highly gifted peoples across the world: The Jews, Germans, Chinese and Igbos.

Give them Biafra and watch them build a civilization never seen before in a black nation. I repeat...Igbos are not in your level!

Now get out !
God bless you



That's why Awo shouted One Nigeria. cool

Who is your competitor? Do you think Igbos are your mate? This is the insult Igbos receive for being in one Nigeria. Many Yorubas for some stu$pid reason see Igbos as competitors. This explains why they envy and hate at any success of Igbos. The Irony of it is Igbos don't consider Yorubas by any stretch as a competitor at all. Igbos compete only amongst themselves or v worst case with whites.
Hehehehehehehe.

I hope i did not forget to like this comment because it is both funny and half-truths...i think the Igbos are on par with Yorubas in excellence and the Igbo are no where near asians let alone whites.

That is a stupid quote. Yoruba and igbo dont get alone. Igbo people hate yoruba people. Which was clear in goodluck Jonathan government.

You have to know igbo sent a clear message to yoruba people under goodluck Jonathan of hate.

Not only that yoruba are upset, that the igbos have been deceiving them.


Have you ever seen an igbo person who have ever employ a yoruba person before no.

I personally don't want to share my own experience in the last 6 years on the internet.

And buhari altitude is the altitude everybody nowhave about easterners.
shut up, who hates you guys, an average Igbo man has no time for hate. Instead he channels his time to more resourceful things. You guys are clearly hateful lazy beings.. An to the op that wrote this trash it sounds more like ten reasons why we worship our hausa slave masters.

Mumu like you. Our people can be found in sizable numbers in places like Canada, U.S, U.K, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Holland, Germany, France, Belgium, Brazil, e.t.c. for a purpose. We migrate mainly to countries that have more to offer us than our own region, in terms of development, exposure and education. We have virtually written off the SE simply coz there's absolutely nothing there for us -- afterall it's the SE folks that flock to our own region in droves. I was in Ogbomosho last weekend and was surprised at the number of Igbos I found there selling recharge cards and stuff like that. Yoruba influence spreads beyond Nigeria -- the current President of Benin Republic is Yoruba, we have Yoruba language spoken in Cuba, Brazil, U.S.A. The language is taught in U.S colleges and universities. We don't play in the local league like y'all bro, na Champions League level we dey.

That was why I stated in my earlier post that Yorubas generally migrate for a purpose. Unlike the yee.bos who just travel without a game plan/'to hustle' (a lot of them would be better off remaining in the East sef than going abroad a lot of times), and then they end up having to resort to crimes like trafficking to survive abroad.
