After carefully reading through the thread i can not see where a starting gun was shot for another ethnic bashing. Unfortunately most of the Yoruba boys/girls in NL may not have had the opportunity of travelling to some parts of the country where some of their aggressors come from, hence you fight from a disadvantage position knowing that most of your foes have all abandoned their clans for the south west. Even though our people say that an "adult should not join in a game of show of private parts", i get sick of some of the gabbage some of these guys post about the south west, and i restrain myself a lot not to join issues with anybody believing that those people doing that are likely to be minors. As an addition i travelled round the whole states of the federation by road between late January and March this year and this is not the first time in most of the locations and i know what i saw.

LMAOOO! You're clearly a local Idoma village dunce, so your ignorance-induced stupidity is pardonable. Have I not visited this Benue for my youth service? Mr man, don't use the anonymity of the internet to come lie about your dying state, cuz there might just be someone lurking in the corner to take you to the cleaners. Tell me, is Ogboko not a glorified onion village? What do you have? And which of your men feed better than Igbos? Which of your men even have jobs besides picking pockets? Are Igbos not the ones still in charge of the high paying jobs there? My cousin owns a large boutique right at the heart of Ogboko, and the only thing the men around there are good at, is breaking into the shop in the dark of the night, to cart away with panties and lingerie! FACT! So, don't even come here to lie about things, e hear?Exactly! You've even helped confirm my points that the Igbos there ain't suffering. Now tell me, would they be packing things if they couldn't afford it? The typical Igbo man lifestyle is to enjoy life to the fullest, while hustling as the days go by. Now, tell me, how many Benue people do you even se :Pe working in other states? Oh, my guess exactly - Zero, since they're useless to the society and themselves

presido1:

They are travelling to the city(SE) so they have to buy foodstuffs from the rural area(Benue) and those in rural area are happy selling to them cos, once they travel for like two weeks nobody in the rural area(BENUE) can afford to pay the price of those food stuffs.

I am very Proud of Igbo People, we have got to be the most determined set of the black race. It is a common fact that the Igbo people have an even distribution of wealth than any other tribe, hence our better standard of living when compared to other Nigerian tribes. People make a lot of uninformed comments about the SS and most especially the SE, many of our SWestern brothers need to leave their comfort zone and see other part of the south and Nigeria at large. Nigeria does not revolve around the SW alone as they always seem to believe, there are other states doing well too if not better.

Rhymez you need to understand that Swesterners don't like going to the SEast

I travel a lot and meet large yoruba communities in the SS (delta, rivers, cross river and awka ibom) also in the north where they control the cab company in the region

People in general don't like going to the SEast that does not mean they do not travel.

Even hausa that go to the SEast don't stay there for long.

Al-goat you need to have your head examined.
Nnewi alone host more Hausa than I can imagine. If I have my way, they won't stay there.
Ontisha hosts even more. And they keep returning after reprisal killings.

Yoruba is in SE but they ride Okada.

Other Nigerians (like SS folks) are more in number naturally, cos we are brothers.  

Overall, we don't give a rats a55 if anyone stayed or not because it doesn't depend on us; just like it doesn't depend on our hosts to have us in their lands. Most of them do their best to drive us out. But we will leave willingly when we get our country BIAFRA.

alj_harem:

You are right but my point is hausa and yorubas don't like going to the SE

I know yorubas that have lived in warri and borno all there lifes even to 2-3 generations

same with fulani and hausa that have lived in the SW all there lifes

same with Igbos in the north and SW

but it is rare to see the same case in the SE, what I mean is it is rare to see as you call it Yoruba or hausa to have 2-3 generations in the SE.

that does not mean they are not there.

South.East:

You are a fake pundit. Your lies will always find you out. It was here on NL that we read an hausa man who has lived in Igboland for 81 years with his family.
You have not stepped your feet outside your Yorubaland; so stop claiming. Okay!!!!

To be honest, until SE stop this raging kidnaping and gang ra ping, I will not be stepping inside that region. As for the North, no compromise there, wouldnt even touch it with my 5k yard stick.

Calabar is the closest I'd go beyond the SW.

You are already in the North; 2-3 generations, according to alj Harem.
You are brothers with aboki. You even share language sef. No need denying ya broda.

I would worry about the dogs in your land than worry about SE.

Quote from: alj_harem
What you are trying to do is called Sophistry, or outright deceit.
Show me a Yoruba or Hausa that has lived in SS (Eastern region part) for 2 -3 generations.
The civil war caused that.

You can find Yorubas in the North who has stayed there 2-3 generations because they are brothers with aboki.  
They are same culture.

That is not what statistics show.

also they would not be crying marginzation in delta, [size=14pt]enugu[/size] etc states. But of course yorubas and hausas are not noticed because they blend well and don't make noise all over the place that they travel; reason for this is that, they see no point in it and done keep tabs on other ethnic groups and how travelled they are compared to themselves.

@Onlytruth and Alj harem

Most people that I have met (especially Yorubas, some Ssoutherners and Northerners) do not want to go to the SE because of the SE stereotype not Eastern region. I have met Yorubas and Hausas who have stayed in the SS for many years, especially in Port harcourt, Benin city and Warri; some in Calabar.

Not to be "tribal" but I think its the fear of some of the things they have heard.

alj_harem:

Yes yorubas are brothers and so are the igbos, I know some igbo that have stayed in the north for generations

I can not show you any yoruba that have stayed in the SS for genertions the only person that comes to mind right now is a comedian TY etc

Warri, calabar and port harcourt house large amount of SWerners infact duing the canival in port harcount, they were singing some of there songs in yoruba, same with calabar.


Go to the SW where there are large amount of Igbos, the cannival have some igbo songs and even some cultural shows.

The culture in cannival I guess show case the influence of the people in the region.

I can not go to Ibadan and be showing Jukun culture since I know no one would patronize me or even understand what I am doing or the language I am saying.

I hope you understand me, the whole point of this discussion is to erase the lie you people are passing around that Yorubas don't leave there region. That is a lie and a big one for that matter.

if they do not leave there region, they would have representation in kano government.

go to adamawa, they have huge numbers there

also they would not be crying marginzation in delta, enugu etc states. But of course yorubas and hausas are not noticed because they blend well and don't make noise all over the place that they travel; reason for this is that, they see no point in it and done keep tabs on other ethnic groups and how travelled they are compared to themselves.

Tell me anywhere in Nigeria, you would not find a yoruba or hausa man in ?

so rhymes and co should stop making noise about how travelled yoruba are or are not

I thought you said there are no sizeable Yorubas in SE?
Is it only few people in Enugu that is crying marginalization and expecting FREE LAND.
