The earlier u realise that Igbos are not in any pissing conquest with anyone over who has more fiefdoms, serfs and servants sworn to perpetual servitude, the better for you. The fact that u feel the need to compare yourselves with the Igbos and your markers are number of kingdoms and wars fought and still score yourself higher shows your insecurity and absolute confusion over life. The Igbo man doesn't give a damn about all that and it is not something to validate anyone by. Like I told the op, no one here will give him any answer here. Lots of threads here exist, if he's not satisfied, he can go and visit the elders back home for some history lessons.

To answer the dull OP regardless of his obvious failed attempt at trolling:

Igbos are republican in nature, and have been that way since before colonialism came to Africa.
We live by a philosophy that no single person should be allowed to hold all power and rule over others, for our societies are built on the meritocratic ethos of egalitarianism, hardwork and delayed gratification, NOT by circumstances of BIRTH.

Ever wondered why class distinctions and hierachies are not as stark in Igboland as they are in Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani societies?
Ever wondered why Igbos were among the most stubborn, most violent, most suicidal slaves when the whites came?
Ever wondered why there are no almijiries in Igboland?
Ever wondered why - despite the fact that Northerners have over 50,000 times more handicapped people than Igbos - South-Eastern paralympians are still by far the most successful Nigerian athletes doing well for themselves in their own little ways regardless of their physical shortcomings? No other ethnic group comes close.
All this is made possible by that SINGLE Igbo philosophy that believes you CAN be whatever you want to be as long as you still have a beating heart!
We bow to no-one. The only leaders we recognize are heads of our respective households.

So, you see my friend, what you glamourize is not what we glamourize. You live by a culture that places divine supremacy on a single household while turning all others to serfs. Good for you. We're very happy for you indeed if that's what you like. But that's not us.
And, God-willing... that will never be us.

Is it true that Rest of Yoruba people are inferior to Ijebus?

Awolowo was Ijebu, and Ijebus own a huge chunk of Lagos state. Most Yorubas claim Ijebu to have connection to Lagos.
Ijebus consider themselves a superior tribe and was not even part of your Oyo fable empire.

I even heard that because of how successful the Ijebus are, other inferior Yoruba tribes are envious of them, accusing them of being too money conscious and all what, is this true? Are Ijebus the most superior Of Yoruba tribes?

Well Ijebu and the other "Yoruba" nations are not "tribes" . I suggest you check the dictionary meaning of the word. The Ijebu Heartland is Ogun State but they also have two Local Government Areas in Lagos State: Epe and Ikorodu.
If any nation were to claim superiority it would be Oyo since Oyo was the one that occupied by force most of what is now Yorubaland and their dialect is the most influential in spoken Yoruba today. Yes Awolowo was Ijebu as is Wole Soyinka but Obasanjo is Egba and the Egba aear politically stronger in Ogun State. Tinubu is not Ijebu neither was Abraham Adesanya nor Gani Fawehinmi,Rotimi Williams, Benjamin Adekunle( The Igbo friend),Fela,MKO Abiola,Hakeem Olajuwon,Davido and so on.
Honestly the Igbos are more tribal or clannish than Yorubas and so the kind of discrimination you will find among Igbos to Igbos does not exist among Yoruba. The Ijebu nation are indeed very successful in their own right but so are other Yoruba nations. Culturally there ae very significant difference between Ijebus and other Yorubas and if not for Nigeria Ijebus would probably not be called Yoruba but there are many shared commonalities including intelligibility of language. There is one very significant difference. Ijebu did not practice female circumcision and this restricted the level of intermarriages historically. Just as other groups had different tribal marks which all go to show that there were different nations which shared cultures but significant differences. The coming of Nigeria have brought these different nations together under a common cause

The Same Yorubaland were there was the only most brutal intra ethnic civil war recorded in Nigerian history, where Yoruba groups brutally massacred each other.

The same Yorubaland where the Awos and Akintolas were on each other's throat and their supporters were killing each other in open streets, hence the phrase " wild wild west" in the Nigerian political parlance?

Haha! The same Yorubaland were the Awujale and other Yoruba tribal kings have been throwing tribal slingshots on each other. Even the Ilaje king couldn't resist throwing one at the New Ooni.

Yorubaland is the most divided tribal cesspool in Nigeria. Have you forgotten why Akintola had to deliver the Yoruba Ronu speech, to stop you lots from fighting each other and rather focus on fighting your perceived common enemies.

Yorubas are a funny bunch of people. You all suffer from pseudologia fantastica.

Ijebus are the most superior Of Yoruba tribes, the whole world knows this.
The have the most beautiful women, the sharpest of business mind, the only Yoruba tribe that can stand Ndiigbo in Entrepreneurship.

Having superior intellect makes one to want to have his own space rather than move with the crowd. This explains why the Ijebus were never part of your Oyo empire and why they existed as distinct entity from other Yorubas in Oyo, similar to what the Ekitis who are second in hierarchy after Oyo did.

Yorubas recognized the superiority of intellect of Ijebus, and that's wby Awolowo an Ijebu was elevated amongst all in Yorubaland,even after death. He is literary worshiped.

Aworis are subjects of the Bini empire. The Ijebus are the real lords of Lagos.

Ikorodu is a village?

Ijede an LCDA that host the largest electricity plant in Nigeria is a village?
Imota another LCDA is a village? I am not comparin anything just correcting your factual inaccuracy that Eppe is the only place where you find Ijebus? Is Epe greater in population than Ikorodu?
Also your claim that Badagry is Awori is false.
Finally the fact that an area has a high population means what exactly? That the population are Aworis? Really? How many people in Lagos state are Awori? Can you put a number to it?
