I'm a yoruba guy and an igbo guy that I accommodated and fed plot behind my back to eject me from my room. I've never seen this kind of hatred before and I urge every yoruba person to always stay careful near igbo, the hatred is real. Even though you don't hate them, they hate you. 1 Like |

WizardOfNG:they have never been known to be intelligent, that’s why some time I’m marvelled when this lots ask Yorubas to travel and by travel, they are making reference to their deserted region😂 a place they themselves don’t wish to stay. While I was serving in owerri, I could barely see a Yoruba man who reside there except for some few artisan who came from Lagos and Sw to work, because in alaibo they don’t really have skilled labour force, so Yorubas are contracted to work there and in most cases the return back to there base when the work is done. Even Hausas are more in number than Yoruba in there region, and that should tell you something that Yorubas don’t travel to a less economically viable place such as sad yeast😂 2 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG: Each to his own, people can't be the same...you might prefer this while another would prefer that, just chose your preference and leave others out of it, don't force your narratives on anyone thereby causing arguments and division....Igbo, Hausa , Yoruba are very different people that should have their own nations individually, but we got a TERRIBLE result which is why the country has never seen the light since 19 gbrigidim...They should give Biafra her referendum, Yoruba odudua and Hausa Arewa and let everyone be at peace. This is the only solution to Nigeria's problem. |

Agapeunit: We should have done better than that and stayed in seperate countries It was a big mistake to bring Igbos and Yorubas together in one country in 1914 But that mistake will eventually be corrected in the future when we go pur seperate ways 1 Like |

From 1914 to the time regional govt was created,there was no issue but when aguiyi ironsi got the rein of power,he had the chance to separate us but instead he destroyed the regional govts all because of his n ojukwu greed to control all the regions money got it into constitution n started controlling all the money,even ojokwu got him to locked up isaac adaka boro(in cell)who wanted the nigerdelta country! After aguiyi's death,ojukwu now forcefully wanted biafra,a move which he nearly kill boro for. He started civil war,but then it is d yorubas dt received igbos back into there mist whn d remaining tribes rejected igbos! Leave yorubaland if u hate them so much loolx! But nokheads like u won't!

tete7000:The article is not educative in any way but divisive in nature and should not be allowed in a pro-Nigerian forum as claimed by nairaland. You cannot deny that the article paints the culture of a certain Nigerian group as being inferior to another group. Ignoring the fact that the both groups are ideologically different in their ways. Though we can seek to discourage the practice of some harmful cultural values and learn a thing or two from each other. But never in a condescending manner such as the one found in the original post. Had the article been focused solely on promoting the uniqueness of the different cultures of the both Nigerian groups, highlighting various positive impacts of each of the different cultures in its own unique way, then it would've gained my applause. But for now I still maintain my stance on the article as trashy. But a true, pan-Nigerian forum should always defend the image of the various groups in Nigeria non exempted. Horrible is all I can say with what I am seeing in this forum. I am sorry @ Seun 1 Like 1 Share |

Armaggedon:How do your own tribe make their money? If you are Igbo I can't count the number of people your wicked tribe have sent to grave beyond with the manufacturing of fake products especially medications. 99% of fake drugs and other products in Nigeria are produced by Igbos. How about your baby factories with countless children that doesn't know their fathers. Everybody is skeeptical about doing business with Igbo man. Cocaine nko? Na una. You talk of love, Igbos don't even love themselves, a tribe that can use their children or parents for money. Igbos killing IGBOS....IPOB! Tell me any other tribe in Nigeria that has a terrorist gang that is killing her people except Igbos. Not to talk of a tribe that called their fellow tribe men and women OSU! Nobody is jealous of Igbos spraying money afterall Yorubas taught you people. Today you all have even adopted "aso ebi" Yorubas taught you people. So go and sit down with your hate for Yorubas....you are inconceqiential! And please next time brush your teeth before you talk or write thrash about Yorubas. 1 Like |

yom2: Is there a single Igbo with the intellectual capacity to argue logically and on point always? Claiming others are treacherous or backstabbing is an opinion about their human character. Who is foolish enough to tag such 'culture'? What you are describing are characteristic of all men and women whereas "Culture is a collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another." Culture is similar to a set of beliefs or aims a group of people consciously agree to adopt and use as a guide to societal ways of life and behavior. It is exclusive to them. Like how your Osu Caste culture defines you and the Yoruba 'Omoluabi' culture exemplifies their essence. Lets talk about the culture of Yorubas and Igbos to see which the world laud and cite as exemplary. If you can put aside mischievous whataboutism and default readiness for clannish defence of your own backwardness as a people, you will agree culture is not a topic for any sensible Igbo to compare his ethnic group with the Yorubas. It is tragic how deep-rooted envy of Yorubas and a general malevolence of spirit makes you Igbos perhaps the only major ethnic group in Africa, and probably the world, not able to give credit where due and also guilty of trying to malign and discredit Yorubas always and forever. This is why I particularly dislike the Igbos and not for anything personal. 2 Likes 1 Share

I can never understand why people eat and drink at funerals of a young person. Sometimes in 2021, I came home to a group of neighbours drinking under a tree in front of my home, I join them thinking it was some celebration only to find out that one of our young landlords just died that day..I was like..what the fuuuuuck! A young man died today and you are sitting under a tree drinking beers and being loud. I couldn't understand it. However, I didn't say a word, I just declined the invitation to join them and I walked away . I found it Strange to say the least. |

Re: What I Learnt From Yoruba Land - Azuka Onwuka by yinkabeauty: 9:06am On May 22 |
WizardOfNG: I agree with your points, some cultural backwardness still exists in southeast, e.g where a widow is subjected to harsh treatments like making them to drink the bath-water of the dead husband, shaving of their heads e.t.c , I also learnt some even kicked their parents in the morning on the mats a form of greeting or so......all these are absurd practices. This is the reason their lawmakers are making moves to change some of these practices and it's a testament that such practices are backward. But at the same time you can't defend the images of tribal marks we saw on that baby, it's bad. Tribal marks is also part of culture, must you put babies in such dangerous situation to determine their origin? everyone across the world belongs to one origin or the other and we don't all have to carry tribal marks, so is an archaic practice that should be discouraged as well, including others like female genital mutilation. jmoore 1 Like |

d142475: So how is the social contract working in Nigeria With this clashes and killings almost on a daily basis...? The difference/diversity is also an advantage for bad governance in that those in power are helped by the sentiment of their tribesmen, their own can never go wrong while in power, they never see criticism from others as objective (even when it is). Homogeneity will help for countries that cannot organize themselves e.g Nigeria. Diversity exists in some countries while in others high level of homogeneity exists. Religion and Tribal differences should be well managed by sensible countries. Nigeria is divided in more than one front , there is religious and also tribal differences. In majority of the countries it's majorly one divisive line either tribe or religion but not both at the same time. In some, this has caused their dissolutions while in others there must be serious management. In Switzerland for example they have more than one leader at once they have German, Italian, French,. representatives (because these mentioned diversities are represented in the country) and who presides over the executive meeting is rotated in short succession, this effort to manage their diversity trickles down to the lower level, although being majorly a one religion country would have also helped them. In UK, English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish all have their countries and home parliament, hence the reason England is more homogeneous, Scotland more homogeneous e.t.c In South America one faith dominates Ditto North America In North Africa/Arab world one faith dominates all these help in unity. A country like Senegal is over 98% Islam , there is a rallying point and others too.. So homogeneity is an advantage, a natural advantage. Countries who are heterogenous and lack the will to manage differences but rather use divide and rule mechanism are disastrous! |

FreeStuffsNG:I also learnt in Yoruba land that one should take life easy. It is doubtful if there is an ethnic group in Nigeria whose people put themselves through stress more than the Igbo. That's why the developer take become bad ambassador of our beautiful Nation.Igbo always put themselves on unnecessary stress just to show off and they end up becoming cocaine pusher. |

Christistruth00: So if you create regions does that mean ,they will now remove you from your ancestral land or home and be moving you about? Creating region is like state creation e.g we can divide Oyo state into two today by creating ibadan state , it doesn't remove the people from their land, it just says these region/state or place will be known as this or govern like this , that's it. |

duality: When awka, owerri or Enugu are exposed enough then we should have yoruba local government chairmen and legislators there, because they are still not exposed enough since then, only south west states are good enough for exposure and massive human flooding.....
