[s] castrogee:[/s] Another fraudster is about to cash in on the biafran sentiments again just like kanu did making thousand of pounds in donations while lying he has the support of 80 countries and yet he continues to languish in jail hopelessly. The chest beating is not my motive here. If you are not down with the unification of the south, leave this thread. There are sensible igbos like agbaworo who will gladly accept the southern unity. Joe igbokwe is doing fine in lagos as well 5 Likes 2 Shares |

The Yoruba`s will never rival the Igbo`s because "Igi imu o jina si ori". Believing that we have a rivalry is a big insult to the Yoruba`s as they have never been at par with us in any category or aspect of life. The West is a thousand years ahead of the East and bringing it rivalry amongs both is a ridicule to the West. We would keep importing there human resource to our region every December, as it has proven to be one of the minor backhaul of the Western economy. 6 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=babyfaceafrica post=47877572]marriage and business is fake?....for you ,not for me...thunder fire politics...who politicians epp?..kip supporting APC and PDP there ,when people are moving forward!!!![/quot]Unified progressive politics brings progress and devt that promotes inter-marriages and inter-business whatever. Given the political acrimony, it is only a matter of time before the business and marriage relationship you so cherish drastically reduces and altogether stops. It was not too long ago and even till now when many igbo parents don't allow their children get married to strange Nigerian tribes beyond the Niger, and it is connected to the Nigerian civil war politics. |

Aigbofa: Mr jack, true there are a lot of Igbo coming to Lagos, but that doesn not tell the whole story. Why are they coming to Lagos? Not because we have anything to do with the Yorubas, but because we have no seaport in Igbo land, and also because Lagos was at a time the capital of Nigeria and a lot of economic advantage was pumped into it. But that should tell you what the Igbo spirit is, despite all these we still want to be left alone. 10 Likes 1 Share |

joborskill: I wish myself evil if what I am saying is a lie. In fact let me not see the end of this year. I was here on nairaland under a different account before it was banned. I witnessed so many negativism from Yoruba toward igbos. This was even before nnamdi Kanu was ever known. |

There simply isn't any rivalry. We are different. One has been living a cosmopolitan lifestyle even before colonization. They think and act. The other is extremely clannish and tribal with a tendency of acting before detailed analysis. Both have extremely smart people but their natural inclinations leads to the former having more communal success and the later individual successes. 1 Like 1 Share |

shamecurls: Am also of the opinion that bringing in a topic of such is a ridicule to the Yoruba`s. A rivalry with a region that can stand at par with the West in any legal aspect diminishes the reputation of the Yoruba`s. The topic is similar with comparing Aluminum to Gold. 5 Likes 1 Share |

castrogee: If you don't want anything to with some people you sever all relationship with them regardless of whether they have a seaport or not. You can't come online to claim you hate Yoruba and that you don't want to have anything to do with them yet you troop to Yorubaland in your thousands everyday. 2 Likes |

[quote author=CSTR12 post=47877911][/quote]anyone who refuses to give his siblings to marriage ,because of a civil war is on his or her own.is it the persons fault?...people need not to be sensitive on issues like this,love overides everything.The happiness of your children should be what's paramount.Well I can't talk for anyone,anyone who wants to contrict his or her child to only a tribe is free to do so,like joshua said in the bible as for me and my family ,we are free to marry anyone!!!! |

medpren: When Chinese, Lebanese, Americans and Germans go to north and Lagos to do business, nobody complains. They call them foreign investors and in some cases even give them free land to setup factories. But when igbos, your so called countrymen tries to do the same, all of a sudden it generates unwanted anger and jealousy. 10 Likes |

just to further prove that everything written about in the bible is happening on earth today, if your spiritual eyes are open you will see it all, and to let you know igbo is esau and hence why the hatred for yoruba aka jacob. the name esau is derived from edom which means red earth and this is why all the land in the east is red soil. this is all biblical. then esau was cursed to be a wanderer and he will be wandering all over the globe as a wanderer and fugitive on exile which is why ndigbo travel everywhere in the world even to the remotest parts of the world. this all spiritual. the LORD has put it in their spirit to be wanderers. point being they are esau and have a PERFECT HATRED for yoruba who is jacob. so there can never be love between the two . 6 Likes |

CSTR12: Both practice meritocracy and capitalism(mixed with socialism in the West) to varying degrees, more skewed towards individuals in the east and more corporate in the West. A democratic system that makes one literally eat rival clans often in small hamlets is simply an uncivilized way of living. 2 Likes |

Aigbofa: That is the reason we are fighting to leave this damnable republic... I hope you now get it, and By the grace of God we will get it. And moreover this assertion that Igbos troupe to Lagos everyday is another bare faced lie. In all my life I have visited Lagos only three times and I dont even like the city for anything. Well that is a discussion for another day. I want you to know that this generation of Igbos are more determined than ever and thankfully all that we lost to the civil war have been recovered and we are now back to continue with our agitation. If you notice you would have seen the unmitigated alliance going on between the SE and SS, this alliance has not been seen since independence and what you have now is to tell you that something very big is cooking, so get prepared! 6 Likes |

36xtr39r:The Igbos are great and intelligent people in fact Igbo man can turn sand into gold anywhere in Africa, but their main problem is clannishness, and you know this breeds distrust and suspicion among their hosts. The Igbos should learn to be more liberal and open when they are outside Igboland especially where they seem to be progressing more than their host, I said this will avert unwarranted suspicion leading to hatred and jealousy....further to pogrom etc. my 2cent. |

kayfra: That was exactly what was going on in Yorubaland during the pre-colonial era. Yorubas busied themselves in fighting all over the place especially in that popular Kiriji war. This uncivilised way of life later reincarnated immediately after Nigeria Independence as Awolowo engaged Akintola in a bloody supremacy war that gave rise to the 'Operation Wetie' where political opponents were subjected to great arson, maiming and wanton destruction of lives and properties. 4 Likes |

stonemasonn: Here's what Balarabe Musa had to say (which was collaborated by SLS) concerning your misinformation: "... the Yoruba political leadership has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude." 2 Likes |

kayfra:I don't where rival clans eat other rival clans in the east. It is the west i know that engages in very bloody communal conflicts. Besides, democratic system in the east though not perfect was superior to anything in any other part of Nigeria.It could have undergone a lot of positive evolution with time. Capitalism is individualistic. Even in america and western europe today, which is why we have the american dream where anybody can aspire to be anything as long you are able to work hard for it.Which is Why we have the global 1%. Corporate capitalism whatever that means is more or less socialism or even communism. 4 Likes |

36xtr39r: There is a remarkable difference between interstate wars (we had city-states) and inter clan wars. Cannibalism as a cultural practice was never documented or found in the West. We were just more civilized, facts you or I can't change. |
