Jesus died for all that doesn't mean we should race mix with animals. Think of the IQ of your children.

Alexis11:
Lol... Igbo blood being the animal one I guess... You are right.

Truth be told, I see no reason as to why Igbo's and Yoruba's should consistently keep abusing themselves online. Let me tell you about myself, i met this beautiful and wonderful lady during my nysc camp in Ogun state. She is a Yoruba Muslim and I am an Igbo Christian. This didn't stop us from falling in love, she was my joy and I was same to her. We prayed, discussed and did almost everything together. A day hardly passes by without us talking...we shared everything which bothered us and never hid anything from each other. She is a seamstress and I am into ICT... After service and all I asked her why wait let's get married... But then there was the issue of religion and tribe, our stumbling block. For heavens sake why should a thing like religion or even tribe stop two adults who are in love from being together. We nearly took a crazy measure but then we reconsidered.

Amazonboss:
Same here,but then the politics they play with our lives won't let us be great

Elemosho478:
The only ties we have is that we live in the same country, i am so sick of all these


IGBO AND YORUBA are so different and we have nothing in common in everything

Our culture and way of life is different, we don't even think alike. It is even glaring to the dead that we can never be the same and we are different

You r mad. You can carry ur luggage n live with them in biafra land and come back n tell me what they let u achieve in their land. Spit

greatermeme:
Nigeria will never be great as a country! But, individually, we can make progress! 1914 amalgametion is a curse to the Igbos! I also blame the bastard ZIK for seeking alliance with Ahmadu Bello!

Daewang:
Dirty abobaku animal.

rawfact:
You did well noticing that stumbling block (emboldened). A well-known example is Tinubu, who happen to be a Yoruba Muslim and got married to a Yoruba Christian. Same applies to Fashola. I believe the moment religion is about to tear them apart, being of same tribe with their spouses do help calm the situation most often. Moreover, Yoruba Culture is really deep and would always supersede the effect/position of religion amongst many Yorubas.

The summary is [s]"Don't Try It!". Friendship? Yes. Business? Sure! But marriage? Nope![/s]

Nice comment, by the way.

Alexis11:
Good description of your fore fathers.

Daewang:
Your fore father's were animals and slaves .

Alexis11:
Lol... Better. So far you don't call them Igbos.

Daewang:
Your fore fathers were afonjas is there any curse worse than that?

Alexis11:
Lol... You forgot to mention Akeredolu. Why?

The reality is that well to do Igbos and Yorubas are getting married every Saturday while bigots like you only waste away on Nairaland.

Alexis11:
Yeah. Being Igbo is worse. I'm sure you know that before now.

Alexis11:
Yes. Although you passed through Ondo and Ogun state, yet did not meet a single Yoruba man on your way to Lagos.

observanc1:
not talking of on d way. In lagos itself. Only white men and benin descedants

Daewang:
What's worse than being an afonja, a slave and an animal ?

Alexis11:
Being an Igbo man.

Nwaotu10:
Exactly. That's exactly what I know. I've Yoruba friends over here, whom I told to save a reasonable amount of money from their tailoring work let me link them with my friends in Malaysia. They were so happy and I'm sure they're getting ready to travel as one just showed me his international passport recently. The verbal vituperations and jingoism is only here on Nairaland. However, most of them have this natural hatred for Ndigbo. When I was yet to build house in Lagos, I could remember vividly how one Yoruba landlord refused to rent his apartment to me , just because I'm omo Igbo. I'm just happy that I've left Lagos with my family, and I'm happy that Igbo's are now adopting "operation head back home".

XhosaNostra:
@bolded, huh? When?

OkunrinOloro:
I believe in the late 1980s when the Whites saw that they were losing the fight against apartheid, they tried some sort of divide and rule tactic on the blacks. That was when there was a lot of talk about things like Bantustans etc.

XhosaNostra:
No, that never happened.

The Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi, who spoke last weekend at his Ile-Oodua palace in Ile-Ife while receiving the Lagos State president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Solomon Ogbonna, who had as a member accompanied the delegation of African Farmers And Cultural Organisation on a courtesy visit to the palace, stated that the Igbos and the Yorubas have historical ties.According to the Ooni of Ife, the historical ties between the Igbos and Yorubas makes them inseparable members of the same family. He said at the meeting;

“I am so happy to have the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State President here as part of this empowerment initiative. Lagos is part of Yoruba land, we are all one, we are all the same. The history is there, the facts are there, and we should actually put this facts out. Why are we fighting?”

“This is your root. I said it recently, some of our Yoruba kinsmen with ignorance of our history came out with nugatory beratement of my position on the family ties between Yoruba and Igbo people. We have to say the truth and the truth must set us all free, we are blood brothers. We should be inseparable. Please feel at home in Yorubaland and respect your Yoruba brothers and sisters too.”

"We still have House of Igbo right in this palace till date. We call it Ile Igbo up till now. Our ancestors are buried and transfigured there. That is where kolanut was first discovered and nurtured. The Igbos are still the biggest consumers and users of kolanut which is only planted in Yorubaland till date. Can the Igbos do without kolanut? ”“The ancient Igbo house is one of the most sacred places in this palace till date. One of my brother kings – Aka Arogundabi from Iremo quarters saw the mysteries of house of Igbo (Aka-ri-Igbo). Till date, Akarigbo of Remoland still sees house of Igbo as a common heritage of his forebears,” the Ooni explained.
