Why Are Igbos Always Comparing Theselves To Yorubas by omonnakoda(op): 5:01pm On Sep 28, 2016
I do not understand this irrepressible urge our small brothers have to always measure plick with us. We love them and recognize them as hardworking though a tiny minority are full of implacable hatred for the Yoruba.
God has designed the horse with the eyes in front and the tail at the back.

Mention any piece of good news in Lagos and the next thing you will hear is how the Igbos are responsible and so on. It is getting out of hand and needs to stop.
Any time your big brother does something laudable please be happy for him and join in the celebration so that God will bless you too.

Peace!!

Who in his right sense will want to be an afonja.

I am looking up to the day when all the Yorubas will be proud of their villages in their various states and stop claiming I come from Lagos.

Freedom2016:
Ezigbo arrant nonsense. Do you think Igbos are your mate? Kai Igbos have suffered in this country...look at ordinary yorubbas dragging feet with a people notably and verifiably compared only amongst Germans, Jews, Japanese and Chinese. If yorubbas are man enough, then agree to separation nah. I promise you between God and man...what Israel is doing to Arab nations and Palestine will be a cake walk to what Biaffra will be doing to Oduo Republic.
You have said it all : Igbos wannabe Jews and Germans and all what not.

Yorubas want to be Yorubas full stop. We are complete and do not need external validation.
People come from all over to learn our religion culture and language.

We have a saying
Aji se bi Oyo lari, Oyo ki se bi baba eni kankan
Oyo has many imitators but imitates no one. We are not Jews or German or any other thing we are Yoruba.

Those who are confused know themselves

How many Yorubas pride themselves on speaking Igbo or wearing baby hats and so on??

It's not something to fight about

Just an innocent question

Lagos is in southwest

If a man enjoys comparison, he will most definitely want to stay close to his/her mirror to always measure up, right?
Igbos don't want to stay with you, stop forcing yourself on us. If Hausa Fulanis betrayals Tinubu, instead of fighting them... You start pointing hands on the Igbo's, why?
