10 Things Igbos Need To Understand About Yorubas.. by detosho: 11:59pm On Jul 24, 2015
YOU HAVE TO READ ALL TO UNDERSTAND IN FULL...
OK guys, lemme explain somethings to you.
1) Hausa people had tried an invasion of the SW before, it didn't end well for them, we may not be violent, but we are skilled at self defence. Its not just you guys against them.
2) Every Yoruba is bred with knowledge of the perpetual enmity with Hausa's, infact an average Yoruba thinks of them as idiots (ask why they are called Abokis in SW)
3) Every Yoruba knows that Igbos are less of enemies and more of competitors to us. But every Yoruba also thinks of Igbos as prone to being dubious and disloyal, especially when they are set to benefit from it.
4) Due to the aforementioned, Yorubas prefer sometimes to deal with Hausas (whose state of enmity with them is sure), than with Igbos, who may be their friends but who may betray their trust, something Yoruba people value a lot, and know at least they cannot give to Hausas.
5) Be sure that like Igbos, Yoruba people also have a cause for feud with Hausas, one dat even goes beyond the creation of Nigeria, the place called Ilorin. No true Yoruba does not know of the story of Ilorin, Aare Afonja and Alimi.
6) Yoruba people are generally the most welcoming in this country, you may dispute it, but I've been to most other regions in this country, save NE. Thus we welcome Hausas as much as we welcome Igbos, Idomas, Efiks, Igalas, Tivs, etc. You are all welcomed in our Lands ( we don't like that no mans land talk).
7) Due to Pre-colonial trading, a lot of lingual similarities have occured between Hausas and Yorubas, thus in modern life, it may tell why Yorubas seem to understand Hausas and their Language/Culture faster and better than Igbos and their language/Culture. Its not for animosity.
cool This is subject to dispute, but an average Yoruba person,like Artisans and Traders and co, is highly interested in politics and governance, but doesn't really give a damn about either the Unity or Seperation of Nigeria, although when asked most would reply that "we are better off on our own".
9) The above Stated reason is why not too many Yoruba people go out of the SW for residence and those that do so are considered doing it at their own risk.
10) Yorubas are benefiting the most from the fracas between Hausas and Igbos, as they are able to make both bring their resources meant for other parts of the country to the SW, due to their non-partisan accommodation. Why do u think SW is the least poor region in the country, and having the highest per capita standard of living (fact from Nigerian Bureau of Statistics)

Who is your competitor? Do you think Igbos are your mate? This is the insult Igbos receive for being in one Nigeria. Many Yorubas for some stu$pid reason see Igbos as competitors. This explains why they envy and hate at any success of Igbos. The Irony of it is Igbos don't consider Yorubas by any stretch as a competitor at all. Igbos compete only amongst themselves or v worst case with whites.

This isn't about tribalism, which by the way Chimamanda Adichie says is the real definition of every man, but this is about understanding. How can you relate well with all the tribes in Naija unless you understand their psyche, even the thinking of the least complicated, least educated, most simple, ones of them. Understanding aids communication and unity.

Thank you for your hate, if you can give a reason for it anyway. Nonetheless, feel free to come do business in Lagos, Ibadan or other yellowbar cities, you are highly welcomed.

That is a stupid quote. Yoruba and igbo dont get alone. Igbo people hate yoruba people. Which was clear in goodluck Jonathan government.

You have to know igbo sent a clear message to yoruba people under goodluck Jonathan of hate.

Not only that yoruba are upset, that the igbos have been deceiving them.


Have you ever seen an igbo person who have ever employ a yoruba person before no.

I personally don't want to share my own experience in the last 6 years on the internet.

And buhari altitude is the altitude everybody nowhave about easterners.

Please, don't even go there. Since the Inception of this country, we had always been in opposition to the North, funny enough, even when every other tribe slept in the same bed with them, read your political history:
1) Awo v Zik+Tafawa+Sultan,
2) Awo v Shagari,
3) MKO v IBB
4) NADECO v Abacha
5) MKO v Abacha
Even when OBJ joined then and wanted to pull us into the same mess, we resisted them, we resisted even OBJ himself, PDP then was practically Northern controlled. So in the modern era, we still had:
Bola Ige v PDP
AD v PDP
ACN v PDP,
APC v PDP
And even with the formation of APC, all the controversy in it is due to resistance of the Northern script some people are tryin to Act in the party.
Funny tho, in all of those Anti-Northern struggle, I don't seem to see vivid names of active contributors outside southwest, especially in the fight for the return of democracy, you all are just talkers. Try repeating your Statement to Fela Kuti, Beko Kuti, Kudirat Abiola or Abraham Adesanya or Gani Fawehinmi, or living ones like Wole Soyinka or Femi Falana. Its better for you when you know what you are saying before you open your mouth to spill out self-embarrassing statements

Illitracy kills. First of all, Jonathan is not an Igbo man, even at that he didn't give the Igbos any of the 1-4th position in the land, rather he made provision for Yorubas to be speaker 4th position, only for your brother Femi Gbaja... Whatever and West lawmakers to betray the Yorubas, by giving it to Tanbuwal.

Bollocks!

Our politicians have successfully damaged Nigerian youths psyche.

All they care about is ethnic superiority, political affiliation and correctness, and the illusion of being special.

You all are living an illusion. The world is leaving Africans/Nigerians behind at a fast pace and no amount of false sense of importance will change the fact that u are existing in the part of the world that is backwards.

There is nothing special about been Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. You didn't choose these tribes based on any special decision making skills, you just found yourself in it.

These foolishness that has become a daily occurrence on nairaland has to stop.

How I miss the days of Harakiri, sisikill, Debosky, Mrbrownjay, ajanlekoko, kastumoto, and a host of old forumites that contributed maturely.

Nairaland has been turned into a hatred propagation platform.
