This is a big lie and a fallacy if I ever saw one. The truth about the Yoruba, something your forefathers will never admit to you, neither something you'll ever admit to yourselves, but which clearly history can never be disputed because facts are facts and are impervious to propaganda, no matter how elaborate it is - there was never a tribe more willing to serve and be subjugated by the white man than the Yoruba. This is a simple fact and is not even open for debate. Read your history. Do your research. Off all the tribes and ethnic groups in Africa invaded by the white, none were more willing to abandon their home land to serve in utter subservience to the white man, than the Yoruba.
Study your slave philosophy, in the age of slavery there was always the two classifications for slaves. 'The House Ni.gger' and 'The Field Ni.gger' The house ni.gger is the least stubborn slave. The one most subservient to his Master. His master allows him to enjoy the benefits of His house - good food, education, clothes and even an occasional hot bath. The house ni.gger serves his master most willingly and thinks other slaves fools for not bowing down to the Master. The house ni.gger was always his master's delight. The field ni.gger on the other hand, is the one most unwilling to serve the master. He is rebellious and though unwillingly plucked away from his native land he still has pride in himself and in his inbred values as a man. The master in desperate attempts to subjugate the field ni.gger will flog him countless times, and force him to work in the fields for hours unending, under the scorching heat of the sun, with little water or food. He will show the house ni.gger the disadvantages of being rebellious and proud. And will use the house ni.gger as an example to him to show what many contrasts there lies between the house ni.gger and the field ni.gger.
I'm sure many of you can already deduce where I'm going with this. The real honest truth is that most of the Igbo slaves by the simple virtue of their upbringing are a very proud people. It is a nature imbibed in the very unbringing of an average Igbo and it has been so for countless millennia. What other tribes call "chest beating" is simply an age long philosophy and culture passed from one Igbo to his offspring from generation to generation - pride in one's self, fear of no man, and belief in what's ability, irrespective of where one finds himself or herself. Go and read up on the Igbo Landing. 70+ Igbo slaves who jumped into the sea in protest against slavery. These people would rather die than be slaves. That is the core nature of the Igbo man, and trust me what you call Igbo pride, has even reduced compared to what it was in the slave era. Imagine then what it was way before then, when they ruled their own kingdoms and conducted their own enterprise. You need to learn your history first before you open your mouth to voice whatever comes out of it. This same Igbo pride is the reason why the Igbo were treated as second class slaves. And while the Yoruba were enjoying the fruits of servitude - namely freedom to practice their beliefs and heritage etc even while in the Master's house. The Igbo were not afforded such benefits.
So go ahead and hate on the Igbo. Its no trouble. But ask yourself this - at what price? And second, why do I really hate this people so darn much? Why really?

Selah.

But they are kings and Queens ruling over a Kingdom of their own in the white mans land, something that your tribe will never be able to achieve in a thousand years to come



In the heirachy of Slaves the Yoruba presided over the others because of their high level of intelligence and sophistication and that is why their Language and cultures survived in those colonial countries up till date.

Igbo slaves however were third class slaves. They were used for the most demeaning and dehumanizing tasks because they were very good at manual labour that requires no intelligence just like we have in present day Nigeria, hence they had no opinion and their culture and sense of identity was completely balkanized.

Hahaha! Can a tribalist like u ever travel out of his comfort zone? I don't think so, my friend. It's quite a different world here on Nairaland - people tend to go out of their way to lead a sham life. I, for instance, hate the idea of Biafra because I don't trust the silly Ndigbo group to represent us well (they only campaign to fill their own stomach), but since it has become an anthem to Igbo Nairalanders I find myself dragged into arguments just to defend my people. And, notwithstanding, I still travel to Lagos, Abuja and Ogun state sometimes when business calls. But I don't think u can
bros i play a tribalist on nairaland but its really just a way of catching fun. no other fun on nairaland but tribalism. what else is there to talk about on frontpage ? tonto decay ? or davido or phyno ? but yeah aint nothing wrong in defending your people as you said. it is instinctual and yes I can travel to the east to come and murder a bowl of isi-ewu with orijin grin

Hausa and Yoruba are always together right from d beginning. Hausa hates igbo with passion and daz y they always slaughter dem in d North. Igbo and hausa prefer to relate wit YORUBA than to relate with each other. So, YORUBA can b described as a bridge that links d two. Nobody wants to relate wit second class citizen that d ibos ar known to be. So, stop that theory that Hausa hates YORUBA.

If u had common sense to read in between the lines you would understand better but let me school you son, i never really have time for NL cos am busy working and making money but when i do av the time all i see is tribal war especially from igbos and non of u tried correcting dem. Now go back to the beginning of this thread and see who started the insults. Now talking trash about employing and feeding me, mehn u dont want to go down that road cos i might drop my phone number so we can have a proper meeting then we'll see who will feed who. I wont brag cos we dont, d same character runs all through u igbos all u do is brag and start what u cant finish(history). You tried so hard to sound matured yet u ended up braging like a toddler which isnt surprising, never start what u cant finish

Nah, Bro... No need for phone numbers I won't even show. Am too busy.
Nevertheless, I hope you get my point.
In a nutshell... Grow up. All these tribal nonsense is completely uncalled for, and for a man who is busy making money.. Am ashamed at your tribalistic comments.

The nigga who posted this thread started it to start an ewar and a busy man like u shamelessly joined in.

Am ashamed of you. In a nutshell, grow up.

The genertion of Igbos are cowards and even Ojukwu demonstrated this during the civil war when Obj chased the fool out of Nigeria. History has it how gallant Yoruba soldiers like the black scorpion and others tormented our slaves from the east. Same yoruba soldiers help Ojukwu to capture Benin before Oju-eku with his tribalism installed igbo medical doctor as Gov. of mid west region which infuriated Victor Banjo.
SE is now the worst place to settle in Nigeria, erosion, dirts and even human remains are all over their drainage system(gutter).

Yorubas are speaking out and in fore front of making sure the present govt. seat up to solve problems facing Nigeria but our COWARDSs from the East are crying behind the walls and begging to be giving slots in govt. COWARDs
Biafrauds are quick to accuse others what they are guilty of. calling others oil soap lickers while the bastards prepare a whole pot of soup with no other ingredient beside palm fruits. chopping palm fruits like squirrel. South B-easts are expert in fraud, drugs, prostitution, armed robbery name any evil you can think of. I belive the tribe has been handed over to satan.
