Used to hear of the so called chest beating, never believed it until now. Just look at them, shamelessly boasting. You are so hardworking that's why thousands of your youths are currently on death row in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.

chairman no need for that. Rise above these petty tribalism

Omoluabi16:
Never been to eastern nigeria. Do you mean the S/e offers a level playing ground, but that people just fail?

Yeah bros.

There is no discrimination over here. No body has your time over here.

Ask your folk who are truthful and god fearing; they will tell u. Where I grew up, there were folks from the sw. We mixed well no tribalism till today.

It is just that the igbos generally are assiduous, so it might not be easy to outwit them in the se.

Even in ss, aside the igbos generally dominate.

Yes, a local government like umuneochi local government is heavily dominated by the Hausa, travellers will bear me witness.

The issue of southeast not being tolearant is null and void because southeast are even the most tolerant. I have several colleagues in my office that are yorubas, the issues with southeast is that, you dont mess with them and play the tribal game, and same applies to every other region in the country as we have seen in bayelsa, kano and ife.

Stop with the there is strong competition in the East blah blah. Apart from the Nomadic Fulani that migrate all around West Africa, which community in the SE will you find other Nigerian tribe dominate? The answer is that you people are hostile to other Nigerian tribes.
You don't sell lands to other nigerians how do you then expect people to come to your region.

stop this barbaric claim, if you don't have money to buy land, don't say igbos don't sell land to other tribes. We have a street in umuahia that bears adelabu street and also an adesina street in Enugu. They are mostly occupied by Yorubas, we also see lot of yoruba mechanic here, tailors and agbo Jedi sellers, we don't make noise about it doesn't mean your brothers are no here.

nwadiuko1:
i am not the cause of your frustration,

i am just Advising you like a brother, stop posting things when you know your brain is not with you

mexxmoney:
This is a weird question. Why are u making this kind of inquiry? What purpose does it serve?

It could show how cosmopolitan the people are relative to other geo-political parts of Nigeria.
2. It could serve to validate or invalidate the moral basis for South - Easterners' push to be politically relevant in climes where they are not indigenous.

You can only find a hand full of Yorubas in the SE. They are not many at all I doubt if you will find up to 2,000 Yoruba's in the entire SE while apart from Lagos in the SW you would find millions of you guys in the SW. I know there are a lot of Yorubas in PH, Delta and Edo.

The whole lot of u nairaland babys are just ignorant. this is just a case of you not going outside of your own house or and then saying yours is better than someone else that you haven't been.

A lot of Yoruba people haven't been to the South East, so you can't sit in your rooms and draw crazy conclusions. Same for Igbos, who haven't been to all the nooks and corners of the South West save where they go to do business. You can't draw conclusions.

It'd amazing how easily threads take a tribal leaning. I have had to wade in anger on several thread to spell out facts from my own point of view and side of the divide. I never enjoyed doing that, but most of the 1990's nairalanders can make your hair-splitting mad at times

Most of the people, Yoruba, Igbo & Hausa who have travelled wide and have interacted across ethnic lines do not hold most of these Igbo/Afonja/Arewa dirty opinions you mostly express here.

Will you just keep quiet if you don't have anything to say?

How will you say 2000? Did you carry out a survey or census?
Yorubas in the South-East are well over half a million. Enugu alone hosts over a hundred thousand.

Stop spewing thrash from the four walls of your room in Ibadan

You think you are talking to a Yoruba that doesn't travel outside the SW hun? You can't deceive me I have been to the SE severally so I know there are very few Yorubas there.

You can only find Yorubas in large numbers in Kaduna,Kano,PH,Edo,Delta,Jos,Niger but never in large numbers in the SE.

My grandfather married 5 wives and we have a large family one of my uncle stays in Kaduna another in PH but I have never heard one living and working in the East. That is not to say there are no Yorubas there but we are not in the SE in large numbers.

The guy was just been mischievous. I was so so curious to know his intention for asking such a question that I had to go check his previous posts and I got my answer. He is one of the ethnic warriors we have here on nairaland and he deliberately asked that question to set up the bashing of one ethnic group. I don't have any problem with people defending their tribe or religion because people are supposed to be proud of their ancestry and faith. I myself sometimes join in the banter here on nairaland when I see some really funny exchanges but to actually take the trouble of creating a post just for the sake of denigrating another tribe is just petty and immature. As to your second point, the constitution guarantees the right of any citizen to contest elections in any part of the country if you satisfy the constitutional requirements for doing so.

This isn't tribalism at all. It s the gospel truth. These are issues that need to be addressed for the nation to move forward.

It's called Rural to URBAN migration.
