3) Every Yoruba knows that Igbos are less of enemies and more of competitors to us. But every Yoruba also thinks of Igbos as prone to being dubious and disloyal, especially when they are set to benefit from it.

Who is your competitor? Do you think Igbos are your mate? This is the insult Igbos receive for being in one Nigeria. Many Yorubas for some stu$pid reason see Igbos as competitors. This explains why they envy and hate at any success of Igbos. The Irony of it is Igbos don't consider Yorubas by any stretch as a competitor at all. Igbos compete only amongst themselves or v worst case with whites.

That is a stupid quote. Yoruba and igbo dont get alone. Igbo people hate yoruba people. Which was clear in goodluck Jonathan government.

You have to know igbo sent a clear message to yoruba people under goodluck Jonathan of hate.

Not only that yoruba are upset, that the igbos have been deceiving them.


Have you ever seen an igbo person who have ever employ a yoruba person before no.

I personally don't want to share my own experience in the last 6 years on the internet.

And buhari altitude is the altitude everybody nowhave about easterners.

Illitracy kills. First of all, Jonathan is not an Igbo man, even at that he didn't give the Igbos any of the 1-4th position in the land, rather he made provision for Yorubas to be speaker 4th position, only for your brother Femi Gbaja... Whatever and West lawmakers to betray the Yorubas, by giving it to Tanbuwal.

YOU HAVE TO READ ALL TO UNDERSTAND IN FULL...
OK guys, lemme explain somethings to you.
1) Hausa people had tried an invasion of the SW before, it didn't end well for them, we may not be violent, but we are skilled at self defence. Its not just you guys against them.
2) Every Yoruba is bred with knowledge of the perpetual enmity with Hausa's, infact an average Yoruba thinks of them as idiots (ask why they are called Abokis in SW)
3) Every Yoruba knows that Igbos are less of enemies and more of competitors to us. But every Yoruba also thinks of Igbos as prone to being dubious and disloyal, especially when they are set to benefit from it.
4) Due to the aforementioned, Yorubas prefer sometimes to deal with Hausas (whose state of enmity with them is sure), than with Igbos, who may be their friends but who may betray their trust, something Yoruba people value a lot, and know at least they cannot give to Hausas.
5) Be sure that like Igbos, Yoruba people also have a cause for feud with Hausas, one dat even goes beyond the creation of Nigeria, the place called Ilorin. No true Yoruba does not know of the story of Ilorin, Aare Afonja and Alimi.
6) Yoruba people are generally the most welcoming in this country, you may dispute it, but I've been to most other regions in this country, save NE. Thus we welcome Hausas as much as we welcome Igbos, Idomas, Efiks, Igalas, Tivs, etc. You are all welcomed in our Lands ( we don't like that no mans land talk).
7) Due to Pre-colonial trading, a lot of lingual similarities have occured between Hausas and Yorubas, thus in modern life, it may tell why Yorubas seem to understand Hausas and their Language/Culture faster and better than Igbos and their language/Culture. Its not for animosity.
This is subject to dispute, but an average Yoruba person,like Artisans and Traders and co, is highly interested in politics and governance, but doesn't really give a damn about either the Unity or Seperation of Nigeria, although when asked most would reply that "we are better off on our own".
9) The above Stated reason is why not too many Yoruba people go out of the SW for residence and those that do so are considered doing it at their own risk.
10) Yorubas are benefiting the most from the fracas between Hausas and Igbos, as they are able to make both bring their resources meant for other parts of the country to the SW, due to their non-partisan accommodation. Why do u think SW is the least poor region in the country, and having the highest per capita standard of living (fact from Nigerian Bureau of Statistics)

I suppose we can see the evidence in Alaigbo?

Is the East now done playing catch up to the West?
