Lolzz, nothing bro! I just enjoy bashing them. The two tribes happen to be the most civilised and cowardly among the major tribes. Igbos are my best friends in real life.
The two tribes can't try one-third of the amount of bashing they gives each other to the Hausas without heads rolling on the floor in major northern cities grin
LoL

When you talk about looking local, no tribe looks more local than yoruba. Most of you even after living in abroad for 60 yrs, still look very local.
Maybe this will encourage your people to stay more at home & develop their place.

The way Nigerians carry Shoprite for head is embarrassing, in SA Shoprite is not even among the top 5 choice for shoppers. God help us.
Yet IMO people hold carnival for shop rite matter.

Kindly show us the pic of ibadan peeps sitting on the floor or putting cart on their heads. if you can't, then this long text of yours is useless. i guesshuh
So, among all things to do in this life, na to dey snap pics of my fellow Nigerians in such act? Something that is not news worthy. U think I got such time? The very mad person is the person who easily insult another tribe pls! I av done same becus of the comment I saw and I am mad too. And I hope not to ever repeat this. Nigeria is generally backward with so many local people...travel travel travel my brother. Well, I seriously think that people who engage in trbal war here are kids and mentally low and very very local. I have Yoruba, Hausa and friends from different parts of Nigeria. So when people dey talk, Yoruba people go dey talk too about others being local? Hahahahahaha..yoruba people wey I see and meet often? Same local raz market women and men I see often. Same set of people with accent issue beyond repair? Hey...all these are not needed pls. Stop insulting other tribes pls. I think Nairalanders should do more regarding this and be blocking anyone who insults other tribes even the person smartly construct the texts.

U can check my updates here...i dont talk about shits like this and i accepted being a kid to av replied and engaged in stuff like this. This nonsense needs to stop. I was really angered by the comments made by the guy who attacked the tribe for no good reason. It just deosnt make any sense to me..

keep quiet,better pikin...go thank God for DAT una capital(asaba) DAT de commercialization of Onitsha have extended to.
of not na village for be your capital...... I am saying did if you are truly from delta state because dis yoruba people sabi still identity.
Give urself brain naa and by the way nor be Lagos you dey live? You for go stay East naa so that you can benefit from onitsha. Do you know how many easterners are benefiting from Lagos and other environs? That is normal naa, so try making sense next time.

MInd you, i'm proudly Deltan and a born Lagosian, so i do not believe in claiming somewhere as my place because i can stay anywhere confortable in NIgeria.

For you info, i have been to places in the East and they are not all developed. I don tour Igbo land o bros!

you da deny your brother....there is God oh
I am proudly Ika and i speak both Ika and Ibo Language.

Anyone who denies his place is not worth being born because even God shared us into tribes, families and villages by Himself, else we all for choose where we want to come from.

In btw, i'm very proud to be born and bread in Lagos if that is what you have mistaken me as Yoruba.

Bro...i hate commenting on issues such as this especially when such issue deals with tribe. What you don't understand is that Lagos is ahead of other states in Nigeria, yes, that is a fact. It is like this becus of so many factors, so bragging wit life in Lagos is nothing but low mentality in the highest order. Saying u av not seen Lagos shoppers acting this strange is low mentality too. Don't compare Lagos civilization with that of IMO state. U should have come to see how Yoruba ppl acted when Ibadan shoprite opened for bonanza! I wept becus Nigerians disgraced me. I just don't get it. The person that started this useless issue is the guy who insulted the igbo tribe and was claiming that lagos is London, not really u. But we need to understand something, Lagos is far behind when you compare it with other cities in the world with such opportunities. Everyone developed Lagos and not really yoruba pple who are naturally lazy. There are dam local pple in Lagos....so local bro. Most Lagos lacal people dey annoy me and disgrace my identity as a Nigerian. When you want to compare states, take Lagos aside becus most investments in the country go there and yet the level of civilization and development is still very low. Other states are still struggling to meet up and we must encourage them to do better. You see, I witnessed the same scenario in Ibadan and I wept. Even some times when I visit Ibadan, the way the locals shop there wanna make me cry. Fact remains that most Yoruba locals are dam local and very annoying. I travel a lot and once I get to Ondo state, the villages and the level of local behaviour I see usually produce frowns all over my face. This is not hating..yorubas are dam local and can't be compared with igbos at all. Go to villages in the East and see how wise and civilized they are. I work in a place where we get to meet and hear from people living in damned communities and I confessed that illetracy level is high in Nigeria, the worst and most embarrassing behaviour comes from Yoruba people...
Please, dear Yoruba people, Lagos is not the only Yoruba state in Nigeria...when you wanna talk about your states, pls, talk about Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti etc...those places are made up of people who are dam local...I hear from them. With the level of opportunities in Yoruba land due to Lagos state, all Yoruba states should have developed at least to the level of Lagos but they can't even compete with most other states (it is a shame)...I give it to Eastern states, even with low level of opportunities there, the people still got to their current level which is commendable.
U guys should stop this nonsense tribal war...Nigeria generally is backward...simple! Wake up please.
Hummm................ I admire your argument and i respect the fact that you made ur points without infusing insults into it; which shows you have an idea of what you are saying. Empty vessels just use abusive language to make their points, especially when they haven't been insulted by anyone.

However, i am not COMPARING Lagos as a state with Imo because in Nigeria Lagos rules in terms of development. After all, i acknowledged that Imo State is the leading Eastern State in Education which means the people are learned and i respect them for that. I didn't say anything bad as far as i am concern and whether we agree or not, Lagos is like a yardstick to measure other states with no harm meant which was why i said i haven't seen such in Lagos.

Lagos may belong to the Yorubas on paper but believe it belongs to everyone because the imput of its development cuts across every tribe in Nigeria. It's a former Captital city of the nation, so every tribe is here. When i say I haven't seen such things in Lagos that includes the Igbos too. Aren't Igbo people in Lagos? Do they not shop in Malls? So this is not something against the Igbos because by tribe and language i am closer to the Ibos than Yorubas.

I speak Ibo if it pleases you to know as well as i speak Yoruba very fluently being born in Lagos.

The point i established was from a Joking point of veiw because i found the picture very hilarious and i must say it again that is is strange indeed. Really, i haven't seen such all my life (late 30s) since i have been here, neither have i seen such in the other states i have stayed in but if i come across one, then i can have a good laugh with no hard feeling.

I didn't see the Ibadan picture of shoprite and you think if i did i would laugh or make a joke out of it? I'm not tribalistic at least i know that. I love Nairaland because it just makes me laugh each time i read comments.

i hope so, because I don't see why a beautiful girl like you harbour such hatred for one tribe.i was even thinking that your ex was an Igbo man and probably didn't treat you the way you deserve. thank God I was wrong.

Ibadan picture was awful even shoprite is planning to close down Ibadan branch because of low patronage

But how can people say imo is local when they have one of the highest literacy ratio in Nigeria

My uncle's wife is from Awka and i have lived with her during my time in uniben, so i do not hate Igbos which i have said countless times. I understand you. It's easy to reject or dislike something you don't know and in btw my posts i have stated i much i love Enugu but still Lagos na Lagos.

You can easily say you don't like Lagos because you probably will struggle to fit into the life style here but me i LOVE it here. Just like you, i have loads of uncles in Asaba and Akure who said they can't stay in Lagos but i know they can't fit into it based on their reasons.

well if your claim is correct then it's a shame.
It probably shows the preference of mama put buka or Amala spot among Ibadan people than mega shops and shopping malls.
