it is very simple,yorubas are the most tribalistic groups,they dont travel,they dont mix,others mix with them yet they point fingers of tribal bigotry at anyone who refutes their propaganda and lies...

They take credit for what they aren't.

I dont get why and what we should be grateful to you for,you are Nigerian,igbos are Nigerians carrying out their citizenry rights. You probably aren't in your place of origin but place of birth.

And i dont understand how you'd accrue credit to yourself for other people living and integreting into your regional culture,if anything,it is the igbos who are social,accomodating,industrously productive hence being in fusion with other ethnicities. You probably speak only yoruba and dont travel out, how are you more Nigerian than the igbos who perhaps speak more than 4 languages on average as a testament to their strength in linguistic intelligence thus the diversification of ethnic assimilation unlike you,who can't speak nor understand neighbouring itsekiri and choose to manufacture an imaginary title as "the most accomodating"....

Actually,the question is when will you start being more Nigerian and less Yoruba. In a broader sense you are the most tribal bigoted group of people but you have no idea.

Tribe comes before country we are Yorubas and we are proud of been Yorubas..

we promote tolerance and peaceful living.. If any non-yoruba does not like where they come from or who they are then that's their business

Yoruba are mainly the nigerians in London, we don't live where we are not welcome, we love peaceful places , where laws and orders works. I know igbos prefer Malaysia and Lagos , while Edo people prefer Italy

SONofYORUBA:


Yorubas travel, but what would make Yorubas travel to the SE, a region that's not economically viable? There's nothing in Iboland. It's second to the North in backwardness. Yorubaland houses more than 70% of Nigerias non-oil sector.
Why do you think everyone is moving to Yorubaland?

I just gave you one minute of silence for your ignorance. You're really at the top of the chain.

If the SE was not economically viable then no one will remain there, not even Igbos. Globally, people leave their homelands to find opportunities elsewhere because those available in their homelands are not enough for the population. There are people making it in the east but every Igbo person can't be there. All spare part dealers cannot be in Nnewi, so the may decide to move to Lagos that has a bigger market or move to Ile Ife to compete for the smaller market. It doesn't mean that Ile Ife is better than where they're coming from in General but because they see an opportunity and the're tapping into it.

It's funny how you guys always replace Lagos with Yorubaland. Lagos house 70% of Nigeria's oil sector (according to you) and that's because Lagos is Nigeria's economic capital. There's really no much difference between other cities in Nigeria apart from Lagos, Abuja and PH except for landmass.

Coming back to the eat being so bad. I would have believed that lie to only that whenever i'm in Owerri, i see a lot of Hausa people hustling at Douglas Road and elsewhere. based on my understanding of Yoruba people, they're the kind of people who love to stay in their comfort zone especially as it relates with Nigeria. Anywhere other than the 3 most important NIgerian cities, they're really not down with it. I don't know if it's due to a fear of the unknown.

lol, when the Igbos turn your Edo state homeland into a useless satellite slave reublic like they did during the civil war, you will know whatsup, and then run to Yorubas to emancipate you from slavery.

if i could like this your post a thousand times i would

if we are going to choose tribe over everything that bonds us then why not split already and stop the childish tribal bigoted demonstration ?

The igbos are the only group ready to play any when faced in such situation...

Oneness,we live it,others complain.

Ok,give us our Biafra nko,una still dey cry..

that we are stuck in the same nation does not mean we should not develop our hometowns, it does not mean we should be dependent on each other... Use what you have or the little you get to develop yourself and live peacefully, that is how SW grows...

That your analogy does not rilly fit.
Do Indians travel to the UK to explore the "little" or "bigger" market there as well? since we all know that all Indians can not be in India?
How about the Brits today, do they travel to settle en-masse in Pakistan to explore opportunities there since their English homeland is "saturated"? Having a limited expatriate community in another country or in the case of Nigeria, region is quite different from coming to settle at a place in the Millions. If the Igbo community in the west was limited to sparepart dealers in select markets or a relatively small business community, I would believe you. But it isn't. A lot of them will chose the West over the East. They literally live, breathe, marry, reproduce, and die here, even buried here in millions.

Don't worry,we will not run to Yoruba land and Igbos are not threat to us.

ezeagu:


All this nations are sovereign and their people did not see the colonising language as superior as Africans do. The examples used above can only applied to the Igbo language if the populace is willing to switch to being Igbo language based instead of the mixture being used now. What I'm saying is that from observation I can see many Igbo parents don't even want their kids speaking Igbo let alone learning in it or being their main mode of communication. A Japanese would never refer to a Japanese person that cannot speak English as illiterate, whereas that is the norm in Nigeria, although in the past Chinese was the equivalent of a colonising language for Japanese speakers because that was the language of education, but they never let go of Japanese.

And we are not sovereign nation too?

If our educationists decide to do that, parents would have nothing to do about it, but accept it. Parents don't decide what happens in academia.

If indeed, we do that, an Igbo man would stop considering someone who doesn't speak English as illiterate, just like you cited in Japan.

And, No, Chinese was never a language in Japan. It was tiny Japan that instead controlled China and got part of China (Taiwan) to speak Japanese. You may want to check to get your history right.

By the way, do you know Britain itself did what I'm asking for?

Do you know, once upon a time Britain was also occupied by foreigners and they spoke the language of foreigners?

Do you know Britain once spoke Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Latin?

Britain spoke foreign languages as well when they were occuppied!. But, when Britain regained their freedom, they banned all foreign languages from the entire British isle, and instead adopted their native English language as the language of instruction. The year was 1362 and it was only then that English became an official language.

Britain itself have showed that foreign language isn't good for a sovereign nation; why should it be good for us?

una go still pay tax last last.... Yorubaland is wide open keep coming and keep paying tax..... Yorubas have created the environment where they only need to tax people to make money...

because u see a yoruba man not working does not mean he does not make money...

I just clocked 30 in July and there are some lame arguments i will not go into especially when the opposing person refuses to be reasonable.

How exactly does your analogy add up? You're just making it seem that there's something in Yorubaland that's not present anywhere else and that's why they're rushing there and that is not the truth else they won't be in Kano, Kaduna, Benin, Maiduguri (war ridden), Zamfara, Calabar, Uyo, yenagoa or even smaller towns like Kafanchan, Dutse, Bida etc. It's because they're really going to these places to offer a service that the native either are not interested in or don't have the knowhow. The biggest complaint against immigrants globally is the issue of immigrants taking the jobs of the natives. Can you sincerely tell me that Igbos are taking anyone's jobs as the last time i checked Igbos are usually involved in one form of business or the other. I can bet that Yorubas makeup atleast a whopping 80% of the workforce in the Lagos civil service despite the fact that they don't make up that much percent of population, so you can't say Igbos are taking your jobs.

A lot of Igbos who live in Lagos will choose Lagos over the east, south, North or anywhere else in Nigeria. And it's about Lagos being the commercial capital and not because it's Yorubaland. Have you forgotten that almost everything Nigeria is located in Lagos and it's only commosensical that Lagos should be the number one subject when the issue of rural-urban migration is discussed. It will also be moral for you to know when to use Lagos, West and Yorubaland. Don't use them interchangeably cos they're not the same.

Nice development.. Buh d igbos shld tread with caution
