ReubenE:

I knew you would say the above.

I lived with the Igbos for quite a long while, even now I still visit from time to time because I have a family in Imo State.

You may think all I said concerning the Igbos are tales of Nollywood, but I am not perturbed because you're at liberty to believe anything you want.
From experience, I discovered that Igbos have nuclear grade envy for others that do better than them.
If you eat meat pass dem, na problem. If you buy a car before they do especially when you are sharing the same facility, they get envious, to the point of arranging for hoodlums to steal the car so that you can be at per with them.
One cannot hold the position of a market secretary when you don't share the same ethnicity with them. I remember back then in Imo State, out of envy, some Igbo traders reported my in-law to the authorities that he is dealing in illegal business after he indicated his interest to become the president of their trade union.....my brother, the list is endless.

This is no Nollywood cuz I don't even see their movies

The bitter truth they will deny completely. But God is not biased. We see that when they were shouting when Hausa man contested in ebony, but they want to contest in Lagos. Thank God, all that has ended anyway.

ReubenE:

Thank you.
But you're neither Igbo nor Yoruba, what then is your stress with my opinion?

Sshhh....shut it!

I'm a pure, unadulterated Igbo girl from aniocha north in delta state.

Your ignorant opinion about igbo is the issue

melzabull:
Igbos have always been the fore-runners of western education in Nigeria. Forget all the noise from the suffersticated piglets from the brown roof slums

Says who? Front runner ko, back walker ni. Igbos are the most foolish people in the world. ..... Raph nwarike.

Odkosh:

You need to go study your history.

CaptainJeffry:
Most of them come out in the day to shout flat heads but behind, they go to date/marry Igbo girls to help improve their lineage. Cowards.

But going down to east or meeting women in their cities you can't do without. When you all pack your pathetic lives back to your erosion ravaged region, Yorubas won't date your women. No Yoruba men would go to your region to toast your women. Mind that.

nwabobo:


You need to go study your history.

I know my history and know where I am from, now are you through with your research where you come from or you still attached to Israel?

melzabull:
Sshhh....shut it!

Shut up, he is very correct.

Biety:
I don't know why OSU baboons like creating senseless thread.
They can't just stop thinking about yoruba.

I dey tell you. That is what we call superiority.

Good thread.

melzabull:

I already know about your origin even before I made my earlier comment.

As a Deltan myself, I don't see you as Igbo.
Go and ask your elders to find out if Anioma people are Igbo or not.

I have lived with unadulterated Igbos unlike yourself, so my opinion is not out of place.
Like I said, it is my opinion so I advise you respect it

ReubenE:
Igbos and pettiness.

What is this supremacy battle with the Yorubas?
I think both groups are confused.

Igbos have an inflated view of themselves and hardly live in peace with people outside their group. Get easily envious, runs to Dibia to truncate the progress of others. Have strong opposition to change except they are the creators or drivers of the change.....very hard working but legitimately and illegitimately. Igbos have great taste though unlike the Yorubas.

The Yorubas, have slippery relationship with the truth, they have phobia of all kinds and shapes. Very educated and can easily adjust to change and modernity.
Anyone can live with them without the fear of intimidation unlike the Igbos that scare people with the dropping of white substance in front of somebody's door......

1. The pettiness didn't start with ibo youths of today, it started with their forefathers from ZIK to Achebe, in fact, Achebe went into his grave with the same pettiness, tribalism, needless empty and shallow chest beating.

The OP is basically saying ibo pettiness, tribalism and chest beating started decades ago.

2. The old news clipping from decades ago with the Lagos people getting startled reference the OP posted came from who? From ZIK himself, from his own newspaper, the West African pilot.

3. To start with, what was there to be startled about some ibo going to an American university? What was so special about that, especially when many Nigerians from Lagos and the SW, in general, have done the same thing many times over.

4. Ibo people just love pettiness and needless chest beating because they have low self-esteem, inferiority complex and low self-esteem.

I guess you meant to write about Yari.ba. Unlike most Nigerians, Ndigbo do not have time for juju and fetish crap. However, they will not back down for anybody. I use to destroy Omo Yari.bas' juju with a single leave of a certain plant.

I did not read the name of U. I. Akpabio from the post.

lol. igbo people.. false self adulation is their stock in trade. This fellow has childishly assumed that those men were the first nigerians to study abroad. If you feel good about it, then go on chest beating.

No, this is the goofy product of the childish stream of your inconsequential mindset.

A sad byproduct of the typical ibo childish and inconsequential mindset.

This only confirms ibo's infatuation with Yoruba. They have been trying to measure up since ancient times.

SMH for Zik of Africa who became the Owelle of Onitsha. It appears that is all he wanted to be all along, a local champion.

like I said you obviously be watching African magic ...your in-law was reported for what again? please stop this story cos this seems like tales you hardly see other ethnic group participate actively in anything outside their ethnicity so please we know where their problems lies and Igbo's don't envy intact yorybas do that the more

nwabobo:

The Igbo men were celebrating an achievement of attending a black university that was irrelevant then and has continued to be an irrelevant university till today.

Meanwhile at that same time, even Yoruba women were already attending world renowned universities in the UK, talkless of the Yoruba men who had been attending world class universities and contributing to the growth of Yoruba land before the 1900's.

Those Universities ranging from Cambridge to Oxford, to London, to Edinburgh, are still world renowned till today and rank way higher than some Negro university that was and remains unspoken.

Even Femi Fani Kayode's grandfather was already educated as a lawyer at Cambridge long before Azikiwe found himself wandering through a Negro school in the USA. At the time Yoruba's were studying in notable schools in the 1870's, the Igbos did not even know how to read and write. By the time Yoruba's already had 2nd generation doctors and doctorate engineers before 1900, the Igbos had only started wearing the socks of the British on their heads. By the time the Yoruba's were already clamouring for a University in Yorubaland, the Igbos had only began coming to Lagos to work as houseboys for the British colonial officers.

if Azikiwe wanted to assist his fellow Igbos to attain foreign university education, why not put them on a higher pedestal than the unknown university he attended? Then he even had to gloat about such mediocre achievement in his own newspaper?

Like I will always say, I still blame Ajayi Crowther for teaching Igbo bushmen how to letter their own language. Else, we would have not had any catching up that has always occupied the Igbo mind. A catching up that China Achebe was also ecstatic about.

If you think it is Nollywood tales, then so be it.

The fact remains that Igbos are very petty and I have seen that alot with my eyes.

Good evening

Ok

At least they attended one physically. Even your great Awolowo attended University by correspondence.
