Go and ask your Ooni and he will tell you Egbas have more link to Nri than Oduduwa.

Be guided

I don't think I'll grant you correspondence anymore

EzeNri:
Yoruba is not a tribe but a political alliance to give minority tribes in the West like real Yorubas (Oyo), Ijebus, Aworis, Egba, Ilajes majority status.

None of those mentioned above are Yorubas.

Yoruba media is just blackmailing them and forcong Yorubaness (Oyo) down their throats.

Be guided

Lol those are sub groups

Why do you ipob guys like deceiving yourself

That's like saying Nigerians are not Africans it's just plain stupid
Go and tell Soyinka that he isn't Yoruba nau

EzeNri:
Egbas are not aboriginal Yorubas.

The fact almagamation forced them into the West doesnt mean they are Yorubas.

Chai
Which kin lie be this??
So you mean I'm not Yoruba??

Try again

bobowaja:
No one needs southern unity, Tinubu is already romancing the west and north where the real votes are located. As for the SS they are not as bitter as insignificant SE.

It is a win win for us. And if you turn your back on us as u did for buhari, be ready for another round of marginalisation for another 8yrs. I am sure you re already familiar with wailing.

this is wicked!!

Point of correction bro, Biafra is the only region that will be successful when this shit hole is divided. [s]You should know that 60% of the products used in Nigeria now is manufactured in Anambra State including your auto spare parts.[/s] So I don't know how your leaving Nigeria will affect the Biafrans. We want you to succeed very fast with your declaration bro, But we know that you cowards can't be able to pull it off. One operation Python must dance and you people will betray that Sunday as you betrayed Abiola

why lie??


What's with ipob and obvious lies??

Oh, I totally understand your point here, and I largely agree with you.

Thing is, Igbos being loud, abrasive and appearing to intimidate (as opposed to endearing themselves to their neighbors) is largely a coping mechanism.
When you are surrounded by folks who try to downplay your worth, as well as seek for your extinction, you do all you can to cope and stay alive.
It is the same way African Americans are viewed as loud and annoying by Caucasians in USA
I've watched several documentaries discussing that issue. It was the reason why black folks walk around in a swagger, a sort of showing off.

But in a set up where you are embraced as an equal partner, then you conform with the expectations because you don't have to prove that you're better than rated.

Also note that, those who already view you with suspicion and often second guessing your intentions would find it hard to give you benefit of the doubt once you seem to have changed tact.
In the long run, you ask yourself, "why bother?"

You find out that it is easier to be yourself, than expend energy trying to not stand out.

Another thing is, Nigeria refused to embrace her diversity and use it to her advantage. When Igbos made exploits, it would have been to the country's advantage to project them to the world further, and Igbos in turn, would feel obligated to a country that gave them the platform to shine. It could have been a quid pro quo, and a win win for all parties, but Nigeria failed, not Igbos.

If you treat a partner badly, the partner is obligated to show that you lost a valuable thing. Hence, the magnifying of any exploit or achievement such partner makes.

Finally, why bring yourself low, to satisfy someone else's inferiority?

Every argument has different perspectives, and what I stated here cannot be the best by any means.

Udo.

that shows you're delusional
Are igbos not Nigerians?
Is Azikwe not Igbo?

You have an over bloated ego with absolutely nothing to show for it

So because an European woman said so
You'll masturbate on it

This shows how an average IPOB thinks
Delusional and deliberately ignorant
