IamAtribalist:
A breakdown of some of Nigeria cultures:

1. Yorubas/Edos/Itshekiris: basically the same people even though they each try to claim that they are different. They are very cultural and very proud people. The Edos/Itshekiris are known to form several opportunistic political deals with their South Western cousins. There is a competition between the Yorubas and the Edos. The both believe that they are the (historical) eldest brother. For this reason, they are both slightly wary of each other.

2. Igbos/Ibibios/Efik: basically the same people. While the Efik hates the Igbos because of the Igbo man's natural domineering/loud attitude, they are actually the same people. Ibibios generally consider the Igbos to be useless trouble makers but they know they are brothers. In the event of a Nigerian breakup the Ibibios and Efik will most likely form a union with Igbos.

3. Hausa/Fulani: the are so similar they coined the same name for themselves. And the always move together as a single political and religious force. Islam is a strong force to tie them together. They despise the Igbos and are also very wary of the Yorubas because of the Yorubas natural affinity for cunning. Basically they hate the Igbos with a passion and have a 100% distrust of the Yorubas.

4. Berom/Idoma: Very similar cultural and share a common border but do not see to have formed a cohesive political coalition.

So how did this village impact in the GDP of ekiti or ilesan


Just asking


Same with Igbo village in Virginia

It impacts the lives of Yorubas and non-Yorubas in America who wants to learn more about the Yoruba culture.

Their value and mission is not to help ekiti or Ilesan people. Their mission is to enrich the lives of people with information. Information is power.

This is how you invite unwanted guest to your thread and when they start you start crying

BTW, I once heard of a people who chase rat when they house is burning.


Your cities and towns are begging for attention, yet you want to build one in far away land. I hope you guys dont cry when igbos say Lagos is a no mans land and also dont threaten to size their property when they leave for biafra unless you are ready to forfeit your village and other properties all round the world too. I hope you dont intend to build a slum there too

you my friend for engaging in "mad-men's" battle on NL. I hereby recommend you get laid asap before it is too late. grin

Show me a more credible link like The New York Times Online or TIMES Magazine not some stupiid blog created by some unemployed "Ad Revenue-Hungry" yorubastard individual living in Ibadan.

I can create a blog, call it WhatsUp Onitsha and hire some white people to write Igbo Language on a board while taking their photos and post it on the blog and say Igbo is studied in China and Syria. We know that their is nothing you yorubastards cannot formulate because you people are so idle!

In the heirachy of Slaves the Yoruba presided over the others because of their high level of intelligence and sophistication and that is why their Language and cultures survived in those colonial countries up till date.

Igbo slaves however were third class slaves. They were used for the most demeaning and dehumanizing tasks because they were very good at manual labour that requires no intelligence just like we have in present day Nigeria, hence they had no opinion and their culture and sense of identity was completely balkanized.

grin

A slave is still a slave no matter the position he is put. It's like saying someone is an intellectual illiterate.

Op, your topic and your bragging right make it sounds like Yoruba culture has a place in this American village. From those pictures posted, it looks like there was a celebration of cultural day, which is no different from what other African non-American residents do periodically. Even in Lagos, non-Lagosians (Yorubas) celebrate their cultural day periodically. And this celebrations by non-indigents of Lagos does not in anyway mean their culture has become the mainstream culture in Lagos.

However, there is pride in our distinct cultures. You are right to give yours such prestige.
