The disagreement here shouldn't be about the depth of hate, as such you can choose to call it any term you're comfortable with.
But there's no love lost between certain Yoruba Sub-groups, which however is not displayed at the political level. That is the part of the argument that matters.

But try not to paint a rosy picture that isn't necessary. I am maternally Ijebu so I know what I've heard and learnt from adults talking, especially when it concerns settling for a spouse and intra ethnic preferences.

As for Soyinka being from anywhere other than Ake Abeokuta, I'll assume it to be just your own imagination. I do not know of him having any links with Isara Remo.

I have just told u the bitter truth.

Thank lord your agreeing with me but you still goofed ogun state has this tussle between the egbas and ijebus also so I am sure of what I am saying ..don't give me this Yoruba one love thing .

What of french and English superiority tussle

So don't whitewash it bro

Anambra cannot hate Imo. Anambra is the first son of Igbo people; she has that right to criticize and lash out at any of her younger brothers ( Enugu, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi) that misbehaves or detours from Igbo cause. From my experience, Igbos from Imo have a tendency to behave like saboteurs. The truth is that some Anambrans question the paternity of most Imo Igbos...some believe many were fathered by northerners during the war. Explains why APC could only penetrate SE through Imo and only. They can never penetrate through other SE states...NEVER!

Imo state people are cursed OSU in igboland. The origin of imolites was through Ada owerre- a renowned prostitute of the 19th century. It was through her that all imolites were conceived, no wonder 98% of imo women are into prostitution.

MrEverest:
Thank you Pazienza, I believe that Abagworo has lost it. He comes within Imolites at will to cause division between Mbaise people and others all in the name of projecting Okorocha in good light, the same Okorocha that has not done a single project since he was reelected. Okorocha said his new motto is factory-factory-factory and industry-industry-industry yet not even a table water factory or bar soap industry has been built by him. Imo is supposed to be the richest state in the south-east but his performance can't be compared to that of Chime or even Obiano. Okorocha claimed he was offering free eduction from primary to university but he refused to acknowledge that FG already offers free UBE from primary one to JSS 3 across the federation. He has succeeded in stagnating the biggest industry in Imo state(education) by deliberately and drastically reducing the intake of Imo indigens into IMSU Aside building "china" roads, there is no single mega project started and completed by Okorocha, when other states are building world class hospitals, five star hotels, fly-overs, eight-lane thoroughfares, high-rise structures etc what has okorocha done to deserve praise singing as Abagworo would want?? What we have in Imo today is the more we look, the less we see. Okorocha has lost the goodwill he had before and unless he retraces his steps urgently, he will leave governance with a battered image. The most disgusting of all is his fight with Imo royal fathers can his northern friends try that sh!t with their royal fathers Abagworo is an Ikwere man who enjoys seeing Igbos throw mud at each other and he always finds a willing tool in Chino. Abagworo should go and face the mess Amaechi left in Rivers state and leave Imo state alone, he shouldn't speak for us because he is not one of us. Whatever ambition Rochas has, remains his personal ambition and not that of Imo state.

God bless the Igbos. What we need now is unity. Am not sure this kind of thread will help much in achieving that.

For those saying that Anambra Igbo is superior to other Igbos, its NOT true. We are all Igbos. Its just like saying that the tribe of Judah is more Jewish than other Jews just becos they produced the famous King David.

Enough with the division already!
Igbo bu ofu.

Abagworo:


Everything you wrote up there are some of the lies being peddled by Anambra and Mbaise people against Rochas. Mbaise in this situation is a willing accomplice with the hope that they could get Governorship through Anambra financiers and Jonathan's backing but the overwhelming popularity of Okorocha demolished their gang up. The fight is all about Igbo President likely coming from Imo State and being Okorocha. No Governor built over 300 schools in 4 years but Chibuike Amaechi and Anayo Okorocha. All the lies against them is from one source.

I am not trying to paint any picture they are different people. The question you should ask yourself rather than talk ignorantly is were there tribal wars amongst the Yorubas and how many of those wars involved Ijebus.. The Ijebus never kept a standing army and were the ones who went to war the least. If people are neighbours they will have conflict and war. Even among Ekitis,Ijeshas Ijebus etc villages or clans fought each other the fact is what is the current state of play.If you have any objective evidence of Ijebu conflict with others share it

You say you are not aware of Wole's link with Isara ,So?? .What does that tell us other than your ignorance on that specific fact.Since when when did your awareness of a thing validate its veracity? Can you try and talk intelligently please. I said his father is from Isara and that is all there is to it

If you don't know that Anambra...Omambala is the first son of all Igbos, then a Hausa man must be your father. There is no basis for me to continue any further with you. Go and ask your mother whom your real father is. Very shameless Imo man

StOla:


You are talking about wars when no one has even elevated the discourse to that level.

That an Ekiti man would rather marry an Ijesha woman, or an Ijebu man would rather marry an Egba woman is the level I am discussing, and I see no war here, just intra-tribal misgivings which could also determine choice of business partners etc.

Also, since when did your own awareness of a matter validate its veracity? Am I suppose to accept your point of view when Wole Soyinka has not affirmed such information anywhere. Wole has said he his from Ake, not me, so who are you to give your assertion as valid

The Orisa Oko which is So (male) and Efun (female) accounts for the prevalence of the So prefix in Egba names. However, that does not preclude the existence of the prefix outside of Egba land.

Now you prove to me that Wole Soyinka's father is from Isara, other than just your say so.

Shut up you poverty inflicted b.astard born to an Imo prostitute.

Even if Okorosha contest with a Ghanaian for Nigerian presidency Igbos and Nigerians will vote for the Ghanaian. Okorosha is an unlettered hardened limping criminal and igbos cannot present such an animal to the rest of Nigerians because igbos have so many decent sane and educated fellows.

Ihedioha only went to Anambra to receive support because it customary to Imo guber aspirants to visit Anambra for support. Okorosha went to visit Peter Obi and Obi of Onitsha before they made him a governor in 2011. Iheanocha did the same thing when he visited Obiano and knelt before him, Ihedioha was only doing an age-long thing which is not new to Imo aspirants.

Show us picture of Okorocha bowing to anybody at all. Okorocha remains the most popular Igbo man in Nigeria. Only God can change that.

If you've any issue with okorocha or Abagworo, take it out on them. Stop portraying.Anambra state in a bad light. Why is it so impossible for you to live in peace for once......Biko chino, prove us wrong for once na. You should have realised that Abagworo or whatever it is he's called does not speak for the great imolites. Once again.......stop dragging the efforts of other sane people to integrate the igbo nation in the mud. If you have personal issue with anybody, take it out on the person any not his people. Grow up for once!

That soyinka's father is from Isara is trite so I will not waste my time with you on that point.Do your own research and stop bluffing because you are ridiculing yourself. Before there was a "motor car" it would take weeks to travel from Ijebu to Oyo or Ekiti so it was natural to marry within reasonable travel distance and also from those whose dialects were intelligible.

The issue of war is relevant to history which clearly you do not grasp. A lot of wars were fought for territory and access and some claim led to the development of tribal marks.Anyway war meant slave raiding and the Ijebus were very important in the slave trade because of their strategic location

There is a large Ijebu population in Ibadan dating back to when Ibadan was the capital of the Western Region that is the appropriate place and perhaps Lagos to test this theory of who marries whom. To the best of My knowledge Yoruba have no taboo on marrying from any part on earth though those who are closer to their dialect or small groups e.g Ondo tend to marry themselves more. That is quite natural but in the urban areas I cannot say there are no problems such as what you are suggesting but they are very rare
