LOL. No be only EWUOCHA, na EWUCANBEER you for call am. Go tell that to the Ikwerres of PH who hate your Igbo people with a passion and denounce any affiliation with them. I'm a well traveled and U.S. Educated Yoruba-man. I've been to the S-East and frankly there's nothing there for an average entreprising and ambitious Yoruba man -- heck, even the Young igbomen are leaving the place for my region in droves. Is it jobs? Or is it sound educational institutions of higher learning as are obtainable in my region? Dude, unless I want to trade, no.. squash that.. I'll rather trade here in the SW where there's an even bigger market. Really, what else does the SE have to offer a young up-an-coming chap who isn't interested in trading? Like seriously? Jokes apart.[/quote]The PH Ikwerres are the lazy cousins Igbos can do without!
I'm listening to Radio in Igbo as im typing this; I'm still looking for a Yourobber station in PH. There are probably Igbo-speaking stations in Lagos or Ibadan.

Jealousy is the problem of Yorubas. And juju. ofe mmanu be like flying!

mods you have to delete this baseless thread.

what makes it baseless? e pain u?

YOU HAVE TO READ ALL TO UNDERSTAND IN FULL...
OK guys, lemme explain somethings to you.
1) Hausa people had tried an invasion of the SW before, it didn't end well for them, we may not be violent, but we are skilled at self defence. Its not just you guys against them.
2) Every Yoruba is bred with knowledge of the perpetual enmity with Hausa's, infact an average Yoruba thinks of them as idiots (ask why they are called Abokis in SW)
3) Every Yoruba knows that Igbos are less of enemies and more of competitors to us. But every Yoruba also thinks of Igbos as prone to being dubious and disloyal, especially when they are set to benefit from it.
4) Due to the aforementioned, Yorubas prefer sometimes to deal with Hausas (whose state of enmity with them is sure), than with Igbos, who may be their friends but who may betray their trust, something Yoruba people value a lot, and know at least they cannot give to Hausas.
5) Be sure that like Igbos, Yoruba people also have a cause for feud with Hausas, one dat even goes beyond the creation of Nigeria, the place called Ilorin. No true Yoruba does not know of the story of Ilorin, Aare Afonja and Alimi.
6) Yoruba people are generally the most welcoming in this country, you may dispute it, but I've been to most other regions in this country, save NE. Thus we welcome Hausas as much as we welcome Igbos, Idomas, Efiks, Igalas, Tivs, etc. You are all welcomed in our Lands ( we don't like that no mans land talk).
7) Due to Pre-colonial trading, a lot of lingual similarities have occured between Hausas and Yorubas, thus in modern life, it may tell why Yorubas seem to understand Hausas and their Language/Culture faster and better than Igbos and their language/Culture. Its not for animosity.
This is subject to dispute, but an average Yoruba person,like Artisans and Traders and co, is highly interested in politics and governance, but doesn't really give a damn about either the Unity or Seperation of Nigeria, although when asked most would reply that "we are better off on our own".
9) The above Stated reason is why not too many Yoruba people go out of the SW for residence and those that do so are considered doing it at their own risk.
10) Yorubas are benefiting the most from the fracas between Hausas and Igbos, as they are able to make both bring their resources meant for other parts of the country to the SW, due to their non-partisan accommodation. Why do u think SW is the least poor region in the country, and having the highest per capita standard of living (fact from Nigerian Bureau of Statistics)

I disagree with u in d area of trust and betrayal. Yorubas have mistrust, betrayal&backstabbing in their DNA.For example Awo betraying Ojukwu,Obasanjo backstabbing Awo,Abiola betraying Awo,Jakande betraying Awo,Hausa's suspecting Awo,Igbos never ever trust a Yoruba man,Eleganza,Folawiyo&co betraying Abiola,Tinubu betraying GEJ,Fashola,Fayemi&Amosun betraying Tinubu.The list is endless.Every Nigerian has an encounter to tell about Yorubas lack of trust,betrayal,Backstabbing,theft and lies.Even u check among all d ethnic groups in Nigeria d one that has such character u possess.You v said it all that yorubas don't like leaving SW.Any group dat dislike moving out to integrate has xenophobic and hatred on visitors.Imagine d number of time yorubas fought Igbo traders,Hausa and Ijaws from 1999.Consider Yoruba threat to Emzor and Oba Akiolu threat of lagoon genocide. Its endless Yoruba jealousy.let me stop here and wait for response.

You knack am gbagam!!!!

if not because of this useless Buhari economy, i for ask you to sebd me your Akant number make i bless you with something to buy your favourite lager. No.mind this insecure bunch. Wetin concern Igbos with these ones? Since after the Civil war, they are the ones fighting hard to make sure Igbos dont regain their rightful place in Nigeria. They fought Stella Oduah cos she wanted to upgrade the only international airport in the East, They are they one fighting so that the entire pirts in the Nigeri Delta are left to rot so that Lagos wont have any challange. I dnt blame them, na the idiatic South Southerners like Ameachi they are using their head to do ten ten. They say they are not the problem, but are they one sponsoring the nedia demonization of Peter Obi since him emergence. If you say you are better and ahead, how did you get there? is it by fair play or manupulation? Igbos dont compete with Yorubas, They want to be like the Chinese or whites.
