I was walking the street of Taiwo in ilorin (has the highest density of Igbos in ilorin) yesterday, an igbo clot seller called a boy (a Yoruba) to buy his goods the boy said he's not buying, the igbo boy was trying to get him to at least check out the goods in his shop, so he advanced closer and tried to touch (hold) d boy as many traders do but as he moved closer, the Yoruba boy warned him not to touch him.. The igbo boy did and that earned him a slap.
His fellow Igbo traders frm neighboring shops.came out and wanted to intervene but the boy started saying things like "let anybody touch me and see, because u're all igbo u want to beat me abi? Let one person touch me and see if all your shops won't be burnt down......"
In a twinkle, d place was crowded and d boy nd some random ppl supporting him had to be begged and calmed.

Due to recent happenings, online and media bashings, I have bn observing the offline relationship of Igbo and Yoruba to see if the online nd media wranglings have any effect offline and I've noticed the following:

1. Almost every Yoruba, literate or not, rich or poor, have adequate media exposure (through English or Yoruba newspapers, radio programs and likes)

2. Yorubas are angry with the Igbos mainly because an Igbo leader (OUK) called part of Yoruba land a no man's land and the Igbos supported that.

3. Igbos are obviously envious of Lagos, and won't mind coverting it (suicidal thoughts in honest opinion)

4. Any little chaos or civil or uncivil disobedience in Lagos or any other part of the south west involving the Igbos will invariably lead to a great loss by the Igbos.

5. The situation is really bad and saddening for Nigeria.

6. The president is either trying to be a good and neutral leader by resolving things via consultations behind the scene Or is keeping mute so that things degenerate and the country breaks up (an escape route for the Nigeria Delta) (most prefer the second)


7. Only the Igbos can reverse and or salvage the situation by decreasing unnecessary loudmouthness, chest beating and likes, by calling leaders who don't think well before talking well to order and by rebuilding confidence with their hosts wherever they find themselves, afterall big rivers flow in majestic silence.

Remember: in life's drama, there're no rehearsals ,think well before you act.

I guess you lot are threatening a pogrom or something?

Why do Africans reason violently and primitively?

Well you have spoken well, I just hope this doesn't result to another ethnic bashing.

How many times have recent immigrants reffered to America as no man's land, even when the political and economic make-up has undeniably been Western Anglo-Saxon (after being hoisted from the natives).?

Immigrants have asserted themselves by running for and winning political posts.

Do you see Whites or Native Americans getting ready to slit someone's throat?

And what about the numerous countries in Western Europe?

No wonder the rest of the world is perpetual sh*thole. People ready to kill over exchange of words.

Why should you be bothered about someone's boastfulness, unless you are insecure?

You are welcome to relocate to the east and reciprocate in the spirit of One Nigeria.

Damn :/.

Why bringing the presidency into the issue. Yaruba peeps hate the president so much that they love to insult him at any given opportunity. When wole soyinka aka M .O. P, mummucious lagbaja, tinunbu ur asiwaju of yaruba land, fani kayode were busy insulting the president none of you call them to oder. When fashola was busy deporting people from lagos nobody was saying anything.

they even went futher to threaten the igbo people for dare to respond to ffk insult
and now the lagos state gov is about to impose another form of tax on them after paying more than 8 different taxes just to frustrate them out of lagos.

Did the immigrants purchase a chunk of the land from you or not?

If the land is rightly bought and legally controlled by them, why not?

If you feel bad go to the east and buy land, control and claim ownership. It's not that serious, damn!

Nobody was complaining when the Europeans forcefully invaded Nigeria, SW included, and called it theirs while deriding the indigenes.

My friend go and get a life,I thought you were a thinking fellow but your post smells of ethnic bias and hate which you claim to abhor.....You are quick to assert the faults of Igbo's but you failed in your post to caution the Yoruba's who are using instrument of the state to suppress and oppress the Igbo's in all ramifications....The Igbo trader you mentioned meant no harm to the Yoruba boy he was only trying to make a living but the Yoruba boy gave him a slap.....What kind of sense of judgement do you have? Shame to you....

The Igbo traders came out to intervene to stop further fracas btw the Duo but the young Yoruba boy brought out the ethnic card as shown on your post.....Who do you think is the problem now?
Did the Igbo trader told him that he is the owner of Ilorin?
The crime of the Igbo trader is simply that he wanted to earn a living legitimately rather run after buses on the street collecting fees.

I find the blackmail undertone that come with most comments in this forum very appalling. It is very clear that many Yoruba are angry with the teeming presence of the Igbo in their land especially Lagos. And the number is growing giving rise to the mortal fear that one day an Igbo governor of Lagos state might emerge. This mammoth presence of Igbos did not start with Fashola’s Government but has been a constant since the end of the civil war. This was brought about by a deliberate policy to delay the growth of infrastructure in the South East, delay development and make it difficult for an average Igbo to survive. But this has not worked out exactly as has been planned. What we are witnessing today in Lagos is knock-on effect of a wicked federal policy to punish the Igbo people. If inland waterways were developed and inland ports were made available and international airport status granted on the basis of business need things would have worked out a lot better. My people let us understand this and try no matter how difficult to wean our minds of bigotry, hate, and wrong self-assessment. Nigeria must become an egalitarian society!!!!
