YOU HAVE TO READ ALL TO UNDERSTAND IN FULL...
OK guys, lemme explain somethings to you.
1) Hausa people had tried an invasion of the SW before, it didn't end well for them, we may not be violent, but we are skilled at self defence. Its not just you guys against them.
2) Every Yoruba is bred with knowledge of the perpetual enmity with Hausa's, infact an average Yoruba thinks of them as idiots (ask why they are called Abokis in SW)
3) Every Yoruba knows that Igbos are less of enemies and more of competitors to us. But every Yoruba also thinks of Igbos as prone to being dubious and disloyal, especially when they are set to benefit from it.
4) Due to the aforementioned, Yorubas prefer sometimes to deal with Hausas (whose state of enmity with them is sure), than with Igbos, who may be their friends but who may betray their trust, something Yoruba people value a lot, and know at least they cannot give to Hausas.
5) Be sure that like Igbos, Yoruba people also have a cause for feud with Hausas, one dat even goes beyond the creation of Nigeria, the place called Ilorin. No true Yoruba does not know of the story of Ilorin, Aare Afonja and Alimi.
6) Yoruba people are generally the most welcoming in this country, you may dispute it, but I've been to most other regions in this country, save NE. Thus we welcome Hausas as much as we welcome Igbos, Idomas, Efiks, Igalas, Tivs, etc. You are all welcomed in our Lands ( we don't like that no mans land talk).
7) Due to Pre-colonial trading, a lot of lingual similarities have occured between Hausas and Yorubas, thus in modern life, it may tell why Yorubas seem to understand Hausas and their Language/Culture faster and better than Igbos and their language/Culture. Its not for animosity.
This is subject to dispute, but an average Yoruba person,like Artisans and Traders and co, is highly interested in politics and governance, but doesn't really give a damn about either the Unity or Seperation of Nigeria, although when asked most would reply that "we are better off on our own".
9) The above Stated reason is why not too many Yoruba people go out of the SW for residence and those that do so are considered doing it at their own risk.
10) Yorubas are benefiting the most from the fracas between Hausas and Igbos, as they are able to make both bring their resources meant for other parts of the country to the SW, due to their non-partisan accommodation. Why do u think SW is the least poor region in the country, and having the highest per capita standard of living (fact from Nigerian Bureau of Statistics)

AshiwajuFoward:
Heed your own advice and get out more coz you obviously live in a bubble.

chuna1985:
I have visited nothing less than half of the Nigerian states, I am.not Yoruba that glues to one location, I am IGBO.

AshiwajuFoward:
LOL. No be only EWUOCHA, na EWUCANBEER you for call am. Go tell that to the Ikwerres of PH who hate your Igbo people with a passion and denounce any affiliation with them. I'm a well traveled and U.S. Educated Yoruba-man. I've been to the S-East and frankly there's nothing there for an average entreprising and ambitious Yoruba man -- heck, even the Young igbomen are leaving the place for my region in droves. Is it jobs? Or is it sound educational institutions of higher learning as are obtainable in my region? Dude, unless I want to trade, no.. squash that.. I'll rather trade here in the SW where there's an even bigger market. Really, what else does the SE have to offer a young up-an-coming chap who isn't interested in trading? Like seriously? Jokes apart.

AshiwajuFoward:
Dude, WTF? It's your word against mine so I don't give a rat's a$$ whether you are Igbo or you smoke Igbo/weed.

chuna1985:
Re-read ur highly st.upid article ... Also tell itself wtf ... I don't care about the s waste n I have no need to learn 10 things about dem.

Lazy asses, house wives.

rman:
Bollocks!

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.

Nairaland has been turned into a hatred propagation platform.

hakeem4:
were igbos n Yoruba's fighting before ?

new2020:
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.
