Nwabufo is a yoruba brother that always right trash about Igbos,insulting Igbos.

Forget about name.


But just know that we don't share anything in common with yorubas,not today and not tomorrow.

Ofodirinwa:
Nna, Eri is the founder of 6 Igbo villages, not Igbo people. And when he arrived his on earth in the same story, their neighboring Awka people were even there before them.

Eri has nothing to do with Igbo origins. If you're from Oduduwa, be that but don't impose yourself on other people's identity. Yes their are commonalities but try not to draw conclusions with limited understanding.
Am I nwabufor? cheesy

In other words, the Yoruba and the Igbo are indigenous to the geographical area called “Nigeria”.
And it has also been argued thatboth groups are of a singularancestry.

And the Supreme Being commissioned Oduduwa, a "sky-god", to carry out a terrestrial task; he descended from heaven with a cockerel which had sixfingers. And the earth was made by himthrough the ingenious deployment of his
avian subject. But that was after‘Atewonro’ had sprinkled some dirt on the ocean to found Ile-Ife. And he had wives,and sons who founded other kingdoms. So the mythic origin of theYoruba says.
In Igbo mythic origin, the Supreme Being sent Eri down to earth to establish balance and social order. The "sky-god" founded Nri, and he had wives, and sons who founded other Igbo towns and communities.
The Yoruba and the Igbo share a lot more than similar mythic origins. They are the oldest inhabitants of the areas they live in.
In other words, the Yoruba and the Igbo are indigenous to the geographical area called “Nigeria”. And it has also been
argued that both groups are of a singular ancestry.
The two groups have had established trade-links dating to the period before contact with the first Europeans. And they are known to share passion for industry; are convivial, accommodating and peace loving.
Also, there is no documented history of war between the Igbo and the Yoruba despite occupying the same "southern
hemisphere".In the precolonial times,wars among kingdoms and natives were common, but there appears to be no recorded incident of battle between the clans and kingdoms of the two groups. In language, they are both of the Kwa-group Niger-Congo origin. The similarities between the Yoruba and the Igbo language are remarkable, if not uncanny,which point to an identical fount.
Despite having so much in common,politics has been a pesky point of dissonance for both groups. Though the Igbo and the Yoruba do not have a romantic political history; they have keptthe dagger away from their rivalry.
The outcome of the Western Region elections of 1951, in which Nnamdi Azikiwe claimed he was sabotaged by Obafemi Awolowo, perhaps laid the molten magma of political rivalry between the two groups.
Some associates of Azikiwe alleged thatAwolowo, leader of the Action Group,bought over members of the NCNC, after they had won elections on the platform of the party in the western region, to scuttle Zik’s plan of being the leader of theregional assembly.
They also claimed that Awolowo scuttled Zik’s “one-Nigeria” agenda, and introduced tribal politics.
However, there is no proof to substantiatethese claims. In fact, the allegation regarding Awolowo’s sabotage of Zik wasdisproved by the colonial government at the time.
So, over the years, stories have been revised and passed down to generationswho do not probe the information but hold it as a grudge against the other.
Most young people trading hate on social media cannot actually say their grievance against those they are tugging with, except to echo the refrain of revised stories handed down to them and to act on stereotypes they have been socialised by.
But can the Igbo and the Yoruba ever unite? Yes, they can. And they will. There will come a time when there is no option,but for them to hold each other in a warm
embrace as "descendants of sky-gods."

There will come that time.

The comments section is what I love about reddit.

I frequent the tech subs (Android, iOS and PC) and the comments there when they are arguing are filled with information that you'd have to dig deeper into the web to find cos they worked in the field or dug deeper to find them.

Even those that owns those sites run AMAs.
Even NL that runs on almost same principle as reddit as you are saying its insults, overhyping irrelevant topics and false information on things in tech section.

CrimeRe: ‘I Feel Like Raping Any Girl That Comes My Way’ - Quadri Azeez by theTranslator: 8:06pm On Mar 14, 2021
saphiere:
I never said that girls don't rape males. But dress code is never a factor. A rapist is a rapist regardless whether you dress half nude or not. He/she will still rape you.

But the ratio of female rape to male is like 1:100000000000
How do you know that?
Is it because they don't speak out?
Is it because you girls have victim mentality?

As for me if I see a woman that dresses very indecently and was raped my sympathy is low compared to a decent woman

Do ija.w tribe set their priority on the right course ? No


Mark today ,
those u want us to form unity with , will join fulanis out of fear , treachery and cowardice to fight against the better south when the chips are down , they don't fight for honour or for next generation but for selfish interest n cowardice
As for southern unity,we igbos don't hate other south from other side,but traitors aren't meant to be among the honourables
Ijawman ( which means confused man 2 me) be careful ,stop ogogoro n prepare to save ur land
Traitors are in everywhere in every tribe
What matters is that they must be kept at a minority
@ underlined Nairaland Igbos have no issues with showing hate
They might be impostors though undecided

Why did you say Ijaws are confused??
And save what land? From who?
That ogogoro stuff is an irritating stereotype

theTranslator:
I rep south Nigeria!
We do away with the north!
South Nigeria!

United autonomous states of southern Nigeria!

That's the point
The many minority groups can't be alone as a countries
So the region they find themselves in would cater
If Nigeria divides into 3 we'll be more vulnerable
And we will keep dividing if we don't find a common ground to unite
Can Nigeria divide into 250 as represented by the ethnic groups?
No
We should divide into 2 instead
And the south would have 3 autonomous regions
No marginalization whatsoever
The presidency and top offices would be rotated between the regions
And the regions would in turn rotate between the ethnic groups
We can't keep slaving away for the north!
The north planted the seed of discord in the south for a reason!
What do you think??

Will it be better?
I think its more realistic

i thought Yoruba Alafin and Obas are expected to marry only virgins of pure yoruba blood!

Now this old hegoat that is supposed to be an eminent custodian of the yoruba heritage don take longa throat defile their revered heritage and culture by marrying outside of the yoruba blood.

soon now that other randy oba that once married edo confirmed italo oyibodog returnee will get tired of that church girl pvsy and look for one fulani yarinya or one omaricha from igbo land to marry!

That means all the yoruba royal stools have been defiled and abused - chai!

I honestly feel sorry for the yorubas - as in the way things are going for their side ba, they will soon be listed as an endangered specie!



Check am out na! Fulanis are hell bent on taking over all their villages by killing all and sundry in all the villages while the igbos are hell bent on taking over all their cities by buying every buyable lands in their cities - while their obas that are supposed to fight for their rights are hell bent on defiling the only heritage that placed them on the world map - their revered kingship!



AS IT STAND NOW, AND IF THINGS CONTINUED TO GO AS IT DEY GO NOW, THEN 100 YEARS FROM NOW IT WILL BE VERY HARD TO FIND A CLEAN PURE BLOOD YORUBA - IT WILL BE EITHER DILUTED WITH FULANI BLOOD OR HAUSA BLOOD OR EUROPEAN BLOOD AS ALL THEIR YOUNG MEN ARE SERIOUSLY JAPARING TO EUROPE AND AMERICA!
