Okijajuju1: Nonsense find me another excuse. Igbos build and own same mansions found in the villages and in the cities. Yorubas seem to rent in the cities and live in old buildings in the village. Yoruba don't build much of houses since they are mostly government workers and don't have disposable income to build. 8 Likes |

IyfeNamikaze: Igboland can't do without oil either. CONTINUE TO MAKE NOISE ABOUT ILL-GOTTEN MONEY FROM SELLING DRUGS AND FAKE PRODUCTS. Without the oil money lagos acquires, Lagos won't be able to feed y'all igbos. FACT Don't sit on your shoit all day, thinking that only SW benefits from oil money. The oil money the SE receives, does it go to aliens? |

Ilekeh:You see your life. Do you think that being proficient in yoruba would help or mar someone's integration in the your land? There is only so much that assimilation could do, mastery is the key. Anyway, I take it that you have nothing else to cling on to but whether I should use assimilation or proficiency. You can now swerve. 5 Likes |

Ilekeh:But assimilation is geared towards proficiency, ain't it? FYI, in most non English countries, language proficiency, not assimilation, is taken to determine your level of integration. You learn something every day huh. |

Ilekeh:Ill-gotten wealth indeed! That's the silly excuse your youths come up with, everytime they see a hardworking Igbo man. Main reason why they can never move their lazy ass and get some work. They all believe you can't make it unless you're in govt, a yahoo boy etc. That's why you still see a large nos of rusted brown roofs in Ibadan and you find idiats as old as 32, living with their parents and grandparents. With or without oil, we'll survive. We're not like your people who waits for govt to do everything for them. We survived the civil war with mere 50pounds and we're still the most prosperous tribe in Nigeria. Statistics can speak for themselves. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I made my first visit to Igbo land in 2004/2005 ( during my NYSC ) and I must confess it was a beautiful experience . I served in Abia and our camp was in Nsiala Ngwa , Nsulu games village. All through camp we heard stories of how humans are a delicacy in that part of town but the warmth and love shown to us just couldn't make me agree with the stories I heard , three weeks later we were posted to our PPA and yours truly was posted to Nsirimo secondary school , in Nsirimo autonomous community , under Umuahia south LGA , Ubakala. Nsirimo itself is made up of five different communities namely - Umuerim , Umuako , Umuezu , Umuaha and a fifth one I can't remember. I enjoyed every bit of my stay there and I'd give anything to go back there , I was welcomed warmly and treated like a son of the soil which I must admit a Yoruba would find difficult to do to a Igbo son in the Yorubaman's land. 13 Likes |

Jobneeded12:I have made myself clear on your case. You are inconceivably dumb. So, if yorubas have been exploring all these places, does that make them British or Polish? Oh, maybe cos yoruba land is smelly? See boy, develop yourself and get a good job, stop hiding under yoruba names, and quit giving me some crappy list. Hian. 8 Likes |

My second trip was in 2008/2009 when I secured a job in Aba , unlike my first trip this one wasn't so interesting. I lived in a rough part of Aba , Bonsaac to be precise , and it was the filthiest place I have lived in my life , people usually defecate in gutters and drainages and if you see any nylon bag tied up on the street , it most likely contains faeces. I stepped on fecal matter 5 times in my first month living there , I soon knew how to dodge "nylon packages" on the streets of Aba. Although my second visit wasn't as nice as my first visit , I stilled enjoyed the industriousness of the Igbo people 3 Likes |

new2020: I will speak of what I know from the people around me. It's common practice for the average Igbo Man to build his first home in his village not the city (especially those that live and work outside of the East). Not all the Igbo men who own big houses in the village have same in the city and Not all Igbo men build in the village first either, however I know a couple of Igbo men whose houses in the village is a Mansion compared to the duplexes they live in in the city. You don't have to agree with me, but this is what I know and have seen. Plus how would you refer to most Yorubas as Government workers with no disposable income? Like really? Well, who am I to argue. However, the one thing I am sure of is that the Yorubas don't seem to build mega houses in their villages like the Igbos do. 1 Like |

My later visits was when I was into transportation and haulage , 2010 - 2011. I never stayed too long in any state I visit but it was an entertaining and eye opening period in my life. Overall I'll give it to the Igbos as one of the most diligent and hard working tribe in Nigeria. They are also a very welcoming tribe and I see that only the Igbos who are domiciled in the SW are tribalistic in nature. The ladies , for those who stay in the villages , work harder than the men , I have this notion because while I served in Nsirimo , it was the ladies who do the farm work. I love my Igbo peeps 5 Likes |
