Opinion: Igbos, South South, Yorubas Are Not Your Enemies by Ihateniggov(op):
I am Yoruba and most times when I discuss with my fellow Yorubas physically on what is going on in our political sphere, I have never heard anyone speak bad of the Igbos, but reverse is the case online, the hatred I see online against our southerner brothers is way too much. Atimes I feel this people don't mean the hate, I feel they are mostly trolls but most times I am confused. South East, South South, trust me I am a Yoruba man and I don't hate you at all.

Ojukwu was a great man,he deserved a presidential burial. He was the first man to see the future of Nigeria even when others where blind, he is my Hero.

You won't believe how much Yorubas love you guys until you come down to South West and see for yourself that Yorubas are not your enemies, the enemies are the North.

We should be United always. United we stand.

JooEeL:
YOU ARE THE PERPETRATOR YOU FOOOL!

I swear to God who made me : I am Yoruba but I stand with my Igbo and IPOB brothers.

ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE! This idiotic governor wants to play the exact template that WIKIlona did in murdering innoncent Obigbo brethren.

They will invite the soldiers into town, then the soldiers will harass completely innocent civilians, and then kill some just to draw the attention of IPOB, and now ESN.

_______________________________________________________

That's what these bastards always do. They kill innocent civilians first and when you retaliate, they will spin the story on its head to later victimise the Igbos. Gosh, this thing hurts me. This terroristic (FG) Fulani Government time and time and again, always makes a mess of the Igbo race, and then try to make other tribes hate them by always twisting the facts.

I urge every one of good conscience to not buy into the government narrative ever again. You all, at least by now, can now see for yourselves that the FG, Miyetti Allah and the Nigerian Army are the main sponsors of terrorism.

If you are a fellow Yoruba like me and you want to mock the ESN or our Eastern brothers, may God in his infinite wisdom punish you and your family up to the 10th generation. It was just a few days ago that these same Boko Haram disguising as Nigerian Army stormed Ogun state and flogged our residents and even Obas just to allow free rein of herdsmen to eat the crops of our own farmers unchallenged. And you still want to mock the Easterners or victimise them as usual in your stupidity? I say God will punish you, fooools! Aye e o le da mo. sad

Lastly if at this state you still consider yourself as a so-called south-south, trying to dissociate yourself from the great work Nnamdi Kanu is doing, I have only one thing to tell you: your moronic nature is permanent.

Keep the focus.

The problem is you yorubas do not immediately,openly condemn,rebuke and deny a bad stand of a fellow Yoruba poster,you keep quiet even when the northerners are hiding under Yoruba monikas to insult and cause division.right now,you can’t tell if a post that’s made against igbos is coming from a Yoruba or hausa,unless the ones that have been busted..lastly the yorubas should learn to always mind their bussiness whenever it comes to Igbo issues.
Re: Opinion: Igbos, South South, Yorubas Are Not Your Enemies by mosdii(m):
Yoruba can never be the enemy of Niger Delta and South East.
Our common enemy is poverty, forceful domination, underdevelopment and glaring hate of the people of the Niger Delta and South East.

The reason why we in the Niger Delta and South East don't like you guys in the west is because of your betrayal tendency. The Southwest has never supported anything the Niger Delta and South East engages in.
From politics to security and economy.
Niger Delta are fighting for resource control while South East is fighting for referendum and independence.
Niger Delta and South East have been fighting for their survival right from the creation of Nigeria while the West has been frolicking with their benefactors up north.

Niger Delta and South East don't hate you but can never support, join you in any issues.

Long live Niger Delta

Long live South East

The champions of Yoruba/Igbo bigotry exists only on nairaland. In reality, they are not what they portray online. There is no Igbo/Yoruba feud in the real world. If you want to feel the unity of Nigeria as regards ethnicity and religion, visit major markets in Lagos.

Hmm this is interesting. It’s just sad the way yorubas pulled us all into this mess with BUHARI. Assuming they used logic after reading all available signs the nation wouldn’t have been where it is today.

2015 isn’t too far back in history to see how they jumped ship just to secure a shaky spot in 2023.

Oh how time flies. Soon the long awaited presidential election will be here. Let’s pray we all survive BUHARI’s Nigeria till then.

2 more years abi? We die here

My brother, most of those trabal comments come from northern guys who pretend to be Igbo's or Yoruba to cause those hate and fights. I know many of them. They are educated Fulani's and they have many accounts here on nairaland. That's why online, they can succeed in inciting hate among the South's but they can't do it life. As a matter of fact, nothing lasts forever. So, their cup go soon full and South's will be liberated from the demonic Nigeria.

I do a lot. I was born and bred in Lagos. I speak Yoruba fluently and I have lived in Yoruba dominated areas (excluding Festac Town). So you cannot tell me I don’t know Yoruba people.

Every regions were minding their own business until the Military coup of January 15, 1966 which destroyed Nigeria till this present day.We should all return to regional govt where each region control its resources and develop at their own pace.That is the wish of the Yoruba nation.

But why are they so bent on fostering disunity between Igbos and Yorubas? Of course I admit, Yorubas and Igbos are not one people. We have our differences -- agreed. But mehn, no matter our disagreements over the years, we are never really at each others' throats. I have lived in Lagos, lived with Igbos for long and know the height of disunity we could have and its not significant.

But these Fulanis are always first to draw out dagger all the time. But asides that, they always tend to support the terrorist Nigerian Army -- all the time. I don't know how Igbo man is always the problem. I believe its envy and misconception. From my observation, even some so-called south-south are quite envious to the pure Igbo man. Thats my own observation o.

Hmmmn, I think I have to agree o bro.

Cos on Facebook, its easier to track a fake profile unlike here in Nairaland. On Facebook, I dont see so many Yorubas antagonising the Igbos. Of course they do, but usually not as vehemently and as spitefully as it is on NL. But most of the comments I see from names like Musa, Ahmed, Jubril etc. are always carbon-copy of what I see on NL.

So I can easily agree with you. But I thought the Fulanis were mainly illiterates. And even if they are crafty originally of course, how did they evolve and take it to another level to learn this divide-and-rule mechanism on cyberspace?

My brother, I am Igbo and my closest friend is a Yoruba. And he is even a Muslim. So, I just know that it is only online this disunity can happen. The south is made up of different people but all very peaceful minding their business. The north knows that the day the south gets united, that's the end of Nigeria. So, online they try to cause disunity, to make the southern unity zero. They have many accounts either as Yoruba or as Igbo. Whenever there is a topic, they are the first to initiate tribal insults. They don't apply logic in their reasoning. They don't know that by the time the common enemy pushes too far, the south will retaliate to survive.

Our main problem is the few top politicians leaking their assez because of the juicy reward.

Not only Lagos, visit any town or city in SW, there is unity amongst the yorubas and our southern brothers and sisters. Infact the Ibos have special markets in various SW cities and they are living peacefully.
