Leave sentiments aside, IBOs are the smartest, most popular and at the top. Trying to dispute that is like trying to dispute that black isn't black. Anyway, the tribal war will keep going cause of ego.

But deep down our very soul, we know the truth.

Believe me when I say other tribes achieves more than the igbos, even smarter.. It is just that they don't BRAG about it.
Really? Without documented evidence. It's just like saying something without proof. Moreover from the article it's not actually the Igbos blowing their trumpets but those who have been directly involved with their prowess

What is so difficult for you present the data requested in my previous comment.

Perhaps what you define as an achievement (drug peddling) is different from my view (accumulating genuine wealth, gaining knowledge etc)

Why are people even waiting for the white man to write a report on you to feel great? Why are you waiting for the white man to tell you what he thinks of you to feel great?? Look, I think both sides, Yoruba and Igbo, fighting for 'supremacy' based on reports by some white man are ridiculous. Our goal should be figuring out how to harness our 'abilities' to move the black race forward. All these things are just showing that we black people still have a slave mentality. We keep bickering and fighting among ourselves while we continually deteriorate. Lmao.

"Why colonial master described Igbos As superior Negro"

Only an Igbo person would see nothing wrong with this title. On the topic, they're trying to get Yoruba attention and validation, which has happened so much it is to be expected now. Work on your self esteem. Again, ibos come to the southeast en masse for their livelihoods. There's nothing​ more that needs to be said as to who's doing better than who. So this thread is not only factually false, but irrelevant.

How exactly were the Igbos seeking for Yoruba validation?
The only people suffering from esteem issues are Yorubas. Nowhere in that title were Yorubas mentioned. Yet you found a way to squeeze yourself into it.

Can't you go and open your own thread and praise your own group?

On the contrary. When the Whites arrived, the savage barbaric Yoruba tribes couldn't evolve the simple act of peaceful resolution of conflicts over centuries of co existence.
The entire Yoruba tribes were savagely having fatal wrestling matches they called Kiriji wars amongst themselves.
It was so bad that they happily embraced colonialism without resistance, if only it could bring them long lasting peace.

Please, bring your screenshots, don't forget to write the name of the book, the author and Year of publish. A link to online version of the book for everyone use will be best.

What does this one above me know of conflict resolution and civility. Even a European can't lecture Yorubas on that when they were involved in bitter wars all through the middle ages and the early 20th century, talk less one group of mushroom clans in the forest called Yeebhoes. (In Oyinbo's voice - going with the premise of the thread) cheesy

Were the savages not killing themselves over fatal wrestling matches called Kiriji war when the Whites arrived?

What civility do you speak of? You call living in clusters of mud houses with no care for ventilation, livings spaces and fresh air, cities and civilization?

Your delusions are grandeur!

The Europeans met you lots fighting one another like savages, incapable of peaceful resolution of conflicts. Insatiable desire to plunder and subjugate each other, incapable of resisting colonial rule.

OP shouldn't have opened this topic here. Yet it's no reason for these bitter Igbophobic beings to invade this thread posting thrash, it's their low esteem and inferiority complex issues that brought them into this thread.

Nothing stops them from opening a parallel thread and looking for positive reviews on Yorubas by the colonials to post and glory in.
But as always, when offered the chance of flying or keeping the Igbo on the mud with them, these folks would always choose the later.

If you deluded yourselves for generations to believe you're better than all tribes residing next to you. You self credit yourself titles such as most developed, most educated, most sophisticated and among other delusions they've told themselves for generations. Then tragedy occurs. Internet became accessible therefore, knowledge past the propaganda you've been dishing out becomes accessible. Thus for past few years, each self credited delusions you've told yourself are being discredited left and right to expose the loser you truly are. Obviously, you'll try your best to uphold anything to save face including something marked off by the community whom even wrote it.

It's been trashed out regarding una desperation to save yourselves from wiping eachother out in this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/2529108/yorubas-wrote-british-colonize-scared

Pay very close attention to where the author stated

"Southwards, exhausted by internal rife and the hundred-year civil war following the collapse of Oyo, the Yoruba historian Johnson wrote that it was the Yoruba Obas themselves who wrote and invited the British to come and colonize Yoruba land."

The Johnson the author spoke of is SAMUEL JOHNSON. The author of history of Yoruba. He himself was alive during the era if colonization as well was yoruba himself. Shebi Johnson lied?

What a fool.

So "Yorubas" wrote the British to come and colonize them, yet same British had to bombard Lagos to gain control of it and also fight the Ijebus at Imagbon in 1892 and other coastal Yoruba states, as well as negotiate sign treaties and employ different independent diplomatic techniques with various Obas who initially didn't want in, before they could get a foothold.
You are just an idiot like any other from that side.
No wonder the Igbos are the most mentally colonized people in Nigeria today. This thread is an example.

Is it really today you've learned Those Savage is southwa$te has the biggest inferority complex known to men. Is this new to you? Weren't you here when the Akwa ibom made a thread regarding their city and the yorubas invaded that shit to measure dicks. The same situation was observed when it was bayelsa, delta, etc. In fact when that Zambian lady wrote the article praising igbo, despite yoruba was not mentioned, like usually the low self esteem, pathetic Savage of waste actually jumped into thread to do what again? Measure dicks. Likewise the same situation when Ben Bruce praised anAmbra and Aba.

If you just realized that those things display inferiority complex daily, well at least now you know. It honestly does not shock me anymore whenever I see those clowns display that act, it's in theor DNA. All you can do is feel pity for them.
You need to look at it in a sociological aspect...if your whole belief is being discredited left and right, obviously you'll repeatedly display the act of a low self esteem looser.

loool.
Igbos swarm any Yoruba thread on FP like the fermented Cassava they used to make Abacha can be found therein.
Keep deceiving yourself.
Observe Yoruba Language, cultural pride, upbringing, etc and compare to that of those from the B.East side and you will know who really has the inferiority complex.
