Did your Yoruba friends exhibit hatred towards you? What makes Yoruba version of tribalism different from that of Igbo, Fulani or Africans?

You even prefer religion extremism that birthed BH and Bandit that always shout Alla akbar before carrying out their barbaric act to tribalism that has caused no single death in the SW?

I just dey wonder what you have gone through in life and in the hands of Yoruba that makes you become like this

Is well.

But I believe you already know.

Ile Ife is a good city...I had my secondary school there and I enjoy every bit of time I spent there... I plan to settle down there if I can get a good job there

Above is the link to my previous post asking for advice on how to get to ile ife from onitsha. Well, I took to Asaba then entered till Ore, although the initial bus I entered spoilt so I had to enter another sienna on Asaba Benin express Road. I got to the fly over at ore and climbed, then entered a sienna to ile ife.
My observations on the road:
Passing through ondo state I never knew there is a place called ondo Town, this Ondo town seems a bit open and developed, they're lots of businesses and tertiary institutions here. From there we entered ife Road. I was so happy with the lush vegetations I saw, indeed the entire south is a rain forest zone unlike the arid land I saw in kaduna and the rest of the north.

I was surprised to see lots of missionary grammar schools in osun. I mean what I was seeing were replica of Christianity, I was checking out for Muslim secondary schools I couldn't see. I passed through modakeke and what came to my mind was the ife/modakeke War. I didn't even know one had to enter modakeke before ife.
Well ife itself is an old city though, the roads aren't so good but I think because of the coming election some sections are been built esp the section that leads to the University.

I couldn't make out much cultural difference between the natives of ife and that of the south east where I come from except for the food types. But it is easy to relate with people here as almost everyone speaks English, it is unlike when I was in the north that you have to use sign language as most of them will never understand you.

Indeed the south is just same though, its almost like I am in the east. I'm enjoying my stay so far

Challenge :
I can't seem to get the kind of food I'm used to and most cooked foods here aren't satisfying me. I hope to overcome this hoddle by cooking and hopefully very soon I will be home and dry wink

More Nigerians should do this.

Only when we travel around the country and live among the people in the so-called different ethnic groups, do we realise that we are actually all the same, from the same cultural background.

Well done OP.

Lol, i stopped at Mayfair when I arrived. But Mayfair is modakeke abi?
I have heard about the heavy tribalism but I'm still observing
Mayfair is Ife, but a motor park on Ondo road (which is less than 5mins walk from Mayfair is Modakeke. Lol

Ife is a really calm and serene environment... really great experience. Enjoy your stay!

Modakeke are just strangers in ife. IFE owns all those lands. Infact that town is so underdeveloped. I got some friends there then who do complain of lack of power there whereas same not with ife . They always say it IFE people that don't give them light . But farm produce is very cheap in Modakeke . Op exploit more in ife, move around iremo, enuwa , moore. And if you are interested in history then you are welcome to ife
If modakeke is so under developed like you say, then majority of off campus OAU student won't live there: asherifa, omole estate, oke ola, ajigbona, ap, akarabata... Modakeke's underdevelopment is due to the carving of 1976 3 wards of main town modakeke from ife north and joining it with ife east( ps modakeke is the majority in ife east but allowed 30% of the allocation). Mdk still has 3 wards in ife north

Mind you asherifa and esuyare, orona/kiowo areas of modakeke share the same power supply as mayfair and lagere... Boosa, iraye, adeowo, abebi, adesiyan, egbedore share the same power supply as enuwa. Your arguements can't be more false about the power supply
