Yoruba never hate any tribe, we so much believe in togetherness. An average Igbo man will get to a place and want to dominate. I have experience of this where I am living, despite the fact that they are in Yoruba land o. We need to be one at least for sake of the younger generations.

Igbo people are social and can fit into any society in the world , it takes less than 2 years for an Igbo man to learn and speak the language of his host in order to relate to them friendly in their own languages, we dominate only in what we are good at which is trade , a typical Yoruba man develops natural hatred for an Igbo man with the mentality that Igbo's love money and are tricky when it comes to money

The Nigerian Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, says the Nigerian civil war was a defining national tragedy that should not be allowed to repeat itself.

Speaking in Umuahia during a special town hall meeting to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Nigeria civil war, organized by Ken Nnamani Center for Leadership and Development in collaboration with the National War Museum, Osinbajo noted that the cost of the war included “loss of opportunities for national advancement.”

He said, “The way to celebrate national fallen heroes that paid the supreme sacrifice for the union called Nigeria is to ensure that the circumstances that led to the conflict never occur again.

“Unlike many African countries with protracted multi-generational conflicts, our strife lasted only three years, and we have suffered not to relent in ending the issues after 50 years.

“We have invested in national integration, peacebuilding and reconciliation.”

The vice president noted that in the cause of ending the issues the country faced, there were many challenges along the way, adding “but those challenges should not induce hopelessness or desperation,”

Osinbajo commended the social media for bringing Nigeria’s “young ones” together in terms of marriage, migration and otherwise in their course of earning a livelihood.

Earlier, the convener of the meeting and Chairman, Ken Nnamani Center for Leadership and Development, Senator Ken Nnamani, said the 50th anniversary of the end of the civil war was in every respect, a highly significant milestone in the life of Nigeria as a nation.

This is a powerful speech from a cerebral Vice President.
We must guard our utterances now to prevent a reoccurrence.

The major key word which every Nigerians need to pay attention to is not to allow circumstances that led to civil war to repeat itself again. We should do away with politics of bitterness, bigotry, self-centeredness, greediness etc so that we can have expected Nigeria that we desire.
