its because Igbos do not rely on Government to survive, He works hard to feed himself and family and also develop his community.
historically many Igbo communities organised themselves in a democratic style without relying on a King..
National Integration will start when we first learning about the lifestyles of every tribe and accomodating it.

NewNigeriaMind:
What is the correlation between playing opposition politics and hustling to survive. Are the majority igbo pdp members not politicians? What are yoy saying?

OBAGADAFFI:
@OP Ironically most Human right activists that fought against Military dictators and for democracy are YORUBAS.

They are just angry that the YORUBAS are too wise to join them in their senseless chests-beating and warmongering.

@ obagadaffi, your head is there

NewNigeriaMind:
All adults in a communty are arrested and thrown in jail,no igbo senator, rep member or governor said a thing.
Even the women missing nobody is looking for them and you are here telling stories

Adaure4ever:
@OP. why are people opinions eating you up? Antagonism is part of the society..
Every tribe and nation have things that have been said against them.
Are the Igbos complaining over the Media propagandas about them? they now have a tough skin over such.
I think that Nigeria need a Ministry Of National Integration.

Francis5:
That is how they claimed that Yabatech is the third higher institution in Africa and twenty-seventh in the world, until they were forced to pull that claim out of their website. Bunchaa deluded, shitty-ars/e mofos

Ruq:
That still wouldn't change anything, we have been integrating for over fifty years and up till now we still don't see ourselves as one. What difference will the new ministry make ? our media, books, schools etc have been propagating these ideas since and still hasn't shut that rivalry. Why do you think a new integration ministry would do the job?.

brize:
Yorubas are cowards until they prove otherwise....

Hagm0nd:
Ffk is doing that as the payment for drilling a borehole in bianca(OJUKWU)
.
Ffk not cool bro

raumdeuter:
The rate at which FFK is drilling Ibo girls from Bianca Onoh, to Ada Uchegbu to CHioma Anasoh to Precious Chikwendu he might soon discover crude oyel deposit in Alaibo

Not minding the two simpleton hanging overhead
seyi360 yorubas arent coward,its just mischief makers who are intimidated about their bravery and diplomacy
next time someone decides to call yoruba cowards,remind them of the worst events in their history,then watch them crawl off in tears

NewNigeriaMind:
I wasnt going to say anything but then sometimes we have to indulge fools.

Guess what two women are missing in enugu right now,their village men were released yesterday after two brave yorubas called out the government for arresting 76 igbo men, throw them in prison because they went looking for the two igbo women kidnapped by fulani herdsmen. Fyi no igbo leader was brave enough to say a thing about till now.

Today,I read their is a fulani community in enugu and they were the people that asked the soldiers to arrest those men.

And till now, nobody knows where the two women are located.

Who is the coward here......

Why do Yoruba men hate their women a lot? They will rather go after women from other tribes( mainly Igbo tribe) but ignore theirs.

scorpio2013:
You mean like June 12?

They adults have been released through the efforts of the governor and their Igwe. Noise making is not action, it's just noise making.When push comes to shove, Igbos know how to protect their own forget your blackmail.

seyi360:
Let me start by asking those who propagate the obnoxious theory that Yorubas are cowards how they arrived at that notion? What yardsticks or parameters was deployed to measure cowardice? Perhaps an experiment was carried out at some social science laboratory that led to the conclusion that Yorubas are cowards. I really would love to know. Probably there were circumstances or situations devoid of delusional thinking that supports the claim. Someone please fill me in.
When I ask other tribes why they think that Yorubas are cowards, they say that the Yoruba man is afraid to fight for fear of his life.
I honestly think it's a shameful thing for any group of people to beat their chest and say they are not afraid to die.
It's the height of irresponsibility for any group of people to take their lives for granted in a bid to prove that they are brave.
Sophisticated stupidity is the only reason why anyone would endanger his life in a quest to prove bravery, not taking into cognizance the grief his demise would cause his family and the responsibilities his death would leave behind.

Those who are bereft of the intellectual capacity to analytically navigate their ways through conflicts will inevitably resort to violence.
In this age when civility and diplomatic alliances has substituted volatility and aggression, it's absolutely ridiculous for any group of people to take pride in their self acclaimed ability to fight and die fighting for any cause.
Unlike these group of people who are ready to kill and destroy and don't mind been killed in the act, the Yoruba man values and appreciates life. He knows that life has no duplicate and he is ready to protect it jealously.

Therefore, he would rather maneuver and negotiate himself out of death and destruction instead of fighting and probably lose his life and property.
A Yoruba adage says "Moja mosa lakinkanju", meaning a true warrior knows when to attack and when to retreat. A warrior who doesn't know how to retreat will not make it home to tell war tales.

This act of wisdom was epitomized by the protagonist of the Civil War, Ojukwu when he retreated to Ivory coast, without which he would have been captured or murdered.

However, when it becomes inevitable to defend one's life, family and nation, it's on record how the Ibadan warriors defended their city against terrorists from the north.
The exploits of the late General Benjamin Adekunle and other Yoruba officers who wasted Biafra soilders and prevented them from actualising their Biafra dream is on record.
Have we forgotten so quickly the role played by the legendary music icon, the abami eda himself, Fela Anikulapo Kuti who used the instrumentality of music to criticize and checkmate the excesses of Military dictatorship in this country. He even lost his mother in the struggle. If that wasn't bravery, then what exactly is bravery?
The late Chief MKO Abiola was offered freedom from prison by Abacha, he rejected the offer, stuck to his guns, defied all threats, stood by his mandate and lost his wife(kudirat) in the struggle.
Perhaps the ultimate sacrifice he paid for the democracy we boast of in Nigeria today is not a sign of bravery. Someone please tell me what bravery is.

What shall we say of the likes of late Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Abraham Adesanya, Bola Ige, Tunji Braithwaite, Wole Soyinka, Bola Tinubu, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Yinka Odumakin and others who in the face of death and hell radically and vehemently opposed in unequivocal terms the tyranny and draconian ways of the power drunk General Sanni Abacha. Even IBB couldn't sleep with both eyes closed for fear of these fearless freedom and justice fighters. If that wasn't a manifestation of bravery, may be these people need to return to school to know what bravery is.

By the way, the most radical and outspoken governor today is a Yoruba man in the person of Ayodele Fayose.

For 16 consecutive years, the South west courageously stood in the opposition challenging and check mating the federal government, unlike these political prostitutes who gallivant with anyone in power and lay claim to bravery by blowing up pipelines, kidnapping innocent people and killing themselves.

I also hear them say "Yoruba man no get mind". They say this in a derogatory way to slight him and make him feel he is weak. This comment is made mostly when an evil is about to be perpetuated, these people love money more than their very life and would betray, murder and do the unimaginable to get it. To them, been evil and merciless is the definition of bravery.
In other words, their understanding of bravery is swiftness to wickedness.
The average Yoruba man is not cultured to be brutal, mean and merciless. He would rather show mercy, respect and kindness.

Yorubas are adorned with intellectual dexterity that transcends the temptation of irrational aggression.
To balance this, let's even take it to the level of rascality, thuggery and street fighting. The Hausa community at different times in the south west has engaged their hosts in rioting, as expected they met their Waterloo.

So how on earth did anyone arrived at the notion that Yorubas are cowards?
A Niger delta activist once said on a television interview that unlike other tribes known for armed militancy, evidenced by the alarming rate of pipeline vandalism, kidnappings and bomb explosions that has ravaged their land, the South west geopolitical zone is known for intellectual militancy.

Intellectual militancy instead of armed militancy explains why Ekiti state parades the highest number of professors in the country.

Intellectual militancy instead of armed militancy explains why the most astute and skillful Nigerian politician today is none other than the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu who took after the most competent of Nigeria's founding fathers, the great Chief Obafemi Awolowo whose political integrity and wisdom has no match till date.

Intellectual militancy instead of armed militancy explains why the South west records the lowest rate of kidnapping, vandalism and explosions. Because we prefer to talk than to fight.

Intellectual militancy instead of armed militancy explains why these special group of people are the most enlightened, most educated, most exposed, most social, most respectful, most politically and spiritually correct not just in Nigeria, perhaps in the whole of West Africa.
In a nutshell, when next some persons calls you, Yoruba man or woman a coward, let them know that we are not cowards, rather we have a second thought to violence.

frleopardo:
The yorubas are d most despicable tribe on earth #fact
Hiding behind one strongman and insulting another strong man while they fight eachother is not intelligence its cowardice.
Been all mouth and no action is a sign of cowardice
Scuttling the actions of ipob and at d same time getting to pull out of nigeria should they(biafra) succeed is also cowardice.
Always siding with d winning side and not being able to stand on your own is cowardice.
Always shying away from a clash so as to be on a safe side even if it makes you a second-fiddle is cowardice
Betraying a friend during tough times just to feather your own nest is cowardice
Always being in fear is a sign of cowardice.....
At least d igbos waged a war against d rest of nigeria for three years just to send a message and are gearing up for another one...... Yorubas don't like d hausa/fulanis but have they been able to send a message? No. They are waiting for the igbos to start another war so if the UN calls for a referendum they would utilize d opportunity to get oodua republic
@ op, forget it yorubas are cowards

oboy3:
We are not saying that the yorubas are cowards but we are saying they lack the smallest courage,they will be the first to shout And spoil for a fight but when e happen,they hide and run under their mum's skirt


A FOOLISH man once told me if you are going to fight somebody with a yoruba man,wait for him to throw the first blow,because if you punch first,when you look back,yoruba man don collect ''Chioma ajunwa and usain bolt'' combine

fear them,Hausa/fulani didnt christain them ''yorubanza'' for nothing

SporaD8:
Actually its the other way round bro - Igbo girls cant just resist the intellectual prowess of Yoruba men. Hence why your girls will rather fight themselves over a Yoruba man instead of looking the way of a typical okoro.

Arise01:
.......**** can u tell this forum the state that haz the highest Professor more than Ekiti in Nigeria. Receive Sense
