comos:
they even tell their children not to greet an Igbo man (non-yoruba) in the morning

This is huge lie. I have stayed in three SW states and I have been to four,and I would confidently tell you that the region is the most accommodating. My first experience was in Ife. I lived a house with just the landlord and his family. Being the odd one out and not being Yoruba, I never recalled a day I felt left out.

Most of the people saying otherwise have either not left their region before or have chosen to have their minds closed even before moving to either of the states. Besides, majority of Igbos scattered all over Nigerian find solace in the South West than other regions.

If the Ife vs Hausa saga would be the yardstick then I would say this is hypocritical. Had Yorubas been killed, Some Igbos on here would call them perpetual slaves and now that it is the other way around, the South West is not peaceful. Funny.

#one love bro.

some of these lies are just unbearable

Afonja and lies... you know the rest

Henryyy:
What newspaper ever made the announcement about Yorubas hostility? Not every "news" is documented. Many are from experience. Igbos are hateful we all know that even here on nairaland we see it. Funny enough, you also hate yourselves.Pitching tents against each other which is something you dont see yorubas or hausas do. Its stupidity, cleanse yourselves from hatred.

ONLY A YORUBA WOULD WANT TO RENT A HOUSE OUT AND WRITE ON IT "YORUBAS ONLY"
im sure u have seen this many times..
If u deny it then u ar chronic liar!!.

= i hv lived in north and have seen any house written "HAUSA ONLY"
= in igbo land u can neva see a house written IGBOS ONLY
= i have livd in most south south states havnt seen a house saying its for their tribes men only.

ITS ONLY IN YORUBA LAND U SEE THIS RUBBISH... YET U CLAIM TO BE "THE MOST ACCOMMODATING TRIBE"....
U ar3 deluded even with ur own lies

if u cant rent to igbos why not rent to others.
Hahahahah.
TRAVLEOUT AND SEE FOR URSELF DAT IGBOS HATE NO1.. ITS JUST UR LIES U FED URSELVES WITH... PURE HATRED!!

Me I don't even want us to be hospitable sef

All these we are accommodating bullshit makes us appear like clowns.

Yorubas are always trying to impress other ethnic groups

Chit Yorubas can't try in your region, don't bring it to the SW

QED

I don't understand.

I'm Igbo

I stay in Lagos.

Apart from Lagos Tax and levy system, me and my kinsmen have not been attacked by Yorubas because we're Igbos.

Infact i can't remember the last time there was fight between Yorubas and Igbos in any Yoruba state.

But in the North, even historians have lost count

ManMountain:
Glad that you accept the fact, meanwhile those are distinct sovereign countries that their immigration policies could have played a role in the population mix, so what then account for Ibo land to be such unwelcoming? Two things:
Either there are no economic opportunities for outsiders or;
the people are inhospitable and unwelcoming,

of course it is expected for Igboland to receive mass migrant as you claim due to FG neglect and Igbo cannot force any one to come to their region, but whether they come or not we will visit theirs and like one of the Afonja rightly put it Igbo came to Lagos saw and conquered and that will always be the case no hard feelings

Afonja ntor

Jonathan lost an election, Nnamdi Kanu came online and all hell was let loose by your brothers online against the Yorubas.

Op abooki,
Please cool your temper.
If you rape Hausa/Fulani woman in Daura and stab the husband for asking why, your people will react.

Yorubas were right to react how they did in Ife.

Hmmm ur last paragraph also shows how hypocritical and biased u are....
U are quick to use dat as a refrence but u didnt say suck wen they mocked igbos dat fulani heardsmen killed people in enugu without dem doing anything.
But when they killied 2women in owerri igbos killed them back.. it was the samr yorubas that came here to say ibos arr violent.

And as for ur other comments on u speaking from ur own experience and im speaking from mine experince so u can tell me im lying except u wana be unreasonable...
BRCOX I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHERE YORURA PARENTS TELL THEIR KIDS NOT TO GREET OTHRS EXPECIALLY IGBOS.

even where im living currently a small yoruba gal dat i gave years ahead in age that used to greet me with respect... suddlenly stopped greeting me wen she sees me... and u wont tell me nobody told her to do so.

I have never seen a house with "YORUBAS ONLY" written on it. I wont say you are telling lies but if indeed there are houses with such inscriptions, then its not your business except the property in question belongs to you. And for someone to make such inscription on his house that should show you how bad and unpalatable your kinsmens attitude is. I know people who would never rent their property to igbos and their reasons are justified. Imagine a tenant threatening to beat up his landlady, refusing to pay his rent, subletting the property, and several others. You can say all you want but Igbos are known to be hateful and thats a fact nothing can change. Even their dealings on the internet portray how hateful they are, talk more of in the real world.

you are exactly one of the reason this thread was created you make all the mistakes that this thread seek to correct,

1 you group the north together to gauge hostility, then you group the SW independently.

2. Is it only Igbo that is in Lagos or is it when Igbo's and Yorubas clash that there is hostility, so the lives of others do not matter.

3 so because no harm have come to your family in all these crisis Lagos is peaceful, be careful what you wish for, because you are asking to know the hard way.

4 Yorubas have lunched targeted attacks on every major ethnic group in Lagos the fact that the failed in all or that they were slaughtered does not mean they did no launch those attacks.

5 tell me any where or region that such target and sponsored attacks have happened in the country in the period under review

6 Have you not been seeing all the Ladipo vs mushin crisis in recent times is it because does Ladipo guys hold down their area, or you want them to be slaughtered in mass before you acknowledge crisis

7 Din't you see were omonile was demolishing properties that were legitimately bought and developed, you only think hostility has to do with lives, no, it entails lives and properties

You sound young, naive and selfish as long as it does not get to you or ur family your don't care.

I believe putting up such sign which I've honestly never come across is to filter what prospective tenants turn up. Yorubas are known to be peace loving, the northerners however won't hesitate to beat up whoever defaults in payment or goes against the agreement so i see no reason why yhey would want to put up such post.

BLACKdagger:
Nawaoo.. u guys said u are "intelling tribe" yet the way u sound here speaks otherwise.
Now u ar3 using wat u watched in movies to lay emphasis... U are not smart TBH.

I hav watched yoruba films where a parents denied their daughtr to marry igboman.. but i wont used what happend in movie to lay real life emphasis..DATS STUPIDITY.

Yet in real life u marry more of their igbo daughters more thanmthey marry urs.

dont say igbos hate other tribes becoz igbos hate no one. Dont just stay put in ur clan and type with ignorance..
Go to other ss states and see the love between igbos and them how they marry themlves in numbers.

ITS ONLY YORUBAS THAT INSTIGATE HATE AGAINST IGBOS..

my brother you are going too far even simi used it to make a hit track, do you know the war Yorubas faces with their fathers and ancestors to marry that their dream Igbo gal

Yorubas have never forcefully attached themselves to the Binis, even though they share a whole lot in common historically.
It's Biafrans telling us everyday how they are either cousins, brothers or neighbors to one minority tribe or the other in the South.

why e come dey pain afonja pass Ikwerre people say Igbo dey attach to them

Anything Fulani, I don't spare, regardless of which group they clashed against. However, I mentioned Igbos for certain reasons. I could remember the way Yorubas were mocked by some of you, even in the face of a sickening trend last year; how you claimed it was a master vs servant affair despite being a one-sided affair.

What most of the Yoruba e-warlords did was simple, they simply mocked you guys when you claimed it can never happen on your soil. It happened and nothing was done. I remember the countless Ezeagu attack and the silence of the Enugu State Governor. The same with that of Awgu, which was almost similar to the way the Hausas operated against the Yorubas in Mile 12.

I could remember how many bigots had pre-celebrations about Yorubas clashing with the Hausas in Ife and I could remember my response to some of those threads, that if Hausas would want to exhibit their madness, Ifè would and should be their last as they have no means of winning. Interestingly, when the body count was released, those who were rejoicing that the master-slave treatment has started again, changed their songs to Yorubas are hostile and their region is unsettling.

Without being biased, the most accommodating people in Nigeria are the Yorubas. Even in the face of provocation, some would choose peace over chaos.

Concerning your experience, I can boldly tell you one thing; if you dwell amongst Yorubas and you think they don't greet you, then you are the problem. Take this to the bank. An average Yoruba person would greet you three times in 10 minutes just because you keep passing by. And knowing full well, that you are prolly not Yoruba, you might have been waiting for them to greet first before you respond. Yorubas are very sensitive to greetings. The moment they notice you enjoy being greeted first, they would start holding back and believe you are an arrogant person.

Enugu is even worse. Children here stare at you like dead cow heads. They don't even know how to say thank you when you exhibit magnanimity towards them. Well, let's just say I'm used to the South West that I tend to use the region as a yard in judging other areas.

And as per the young you 'gave age ahead', I can boldly say the problem is because you always her to greet first. It doesn't walk that way. The rule is simple, if you spot her first, say hello. It does increase self worth and respect. I believe your actions are forgivable since you don't understand these things.

And if you are thinking 'why should I greet her first since I am light years ahead', I would tell you that a Yoruba Proverb perfectly describes this: that you prostrate to a dwarf doesn't mean you won't be great. Humility is key.

Grow up man. You are beginning to sound incoherent.

ManMountain:
No, no so fast with the lies.
You actually killed their military and political leaders in one night of madness and you decided to run away back to your enclaves in the East, they only chased you down there to take their own pound of flesh.
Yorubas were completely neutral and you were doing quiet well on the northern flanks until you decided to come down to ''liberate Lagos'' and you got the yorubas involved to whopped you assess.
It will still happen again with the way you insult yorubas on daily basis on the internet

what are you talking about create another thread for that I will meet you there don't derail this beautiful expository thread.
