Ndiofe:


Y dont u just marry ur Yoruba women and have yoruba kids like every other tribe, must u marry igbo and den convert to yoruba?

It sounds like mission impossible to me, too much hard work. Half Yoruba kids will always be half. I meet them all the time.

First word is, I am half yoruba.

Maybe the ladies...

The guys NEVER say such!

Jetleeee:


Lwkmd, e say na 6 accounts



Ome.nka is from Benue. I saw lion.deleo yesterday on one thread and that was my first time of seeing him. I don't even think he does e-brawls. Obike.nkem and Clifford.orji are both Nwafor Iborikitis. As for Kunglao, the mods have settled that already.

If those two you named are igbos,then I am a monkey's uncle.LOL

Desmond Elliot, wat does he call himself again? https://www.nairaland.com/2685300/desmond-elliot-why-hid-yoruba

He even hid his yoruba identity. I suppose half bread is better than none in his case.

Half is half my brother, put urself in their position, even me, i will tell u that i am half, becos that is wat it is.

I hate omo yanmiri with passion

Inter-tribal marriage is not a new phenomenon, in the old dayz wen two different tribe meet, they create a new language and start a new tribe.

That is y we have so many languages in Nigeria. Example is the Isoko, they are Urhobo mixed with Ijaw, but today claim different identity and speak a different dialect.

We look at the ikwere, the only reason we know they are igbo is beco of their igbo names but their language is different, they are a mix of igbo and other tribe in the south. They dont claim being igbo.


Yorubaigbo is a new group or tribe. They are neither yoruba or igbo. They are yorubaigbo.

Onechancearmy:


Diversity only works where there is a willingness for it. Nigeria is a rickety contraption which the British cobbled together without seeking the permission of the different tribes who were going to live together under the guise of being one country.

We're still paying for the folly of the British to this day.

I don't know a single intelligent human being who thinks that a union with a backward, illiterate, disease ridden, religiously intolerant region like Northern Nigeria is a good idea, so let's stop this unity crap.

Nigeria's existence is perfectly negotiable.

I am glad you know that diversity works in normal societies. Nigeria ain't normal which is why it fails. It is just like saying that other country's citizen do not litter but as Nigerians we can't because we are dirty people. The only reason it does not work in Nigeria is because Nigerians in Nigeria lack the basic decency and knowledge of why it is advantageous. This is how bad Nigerians are as a people. One time i showed a friend of mine in Switzerland a video on youtube of how a mob of people set a suspect on fire. You know what amazed him the most? It wasn't that it happened that shocked him. What shocked him was the fact that they took the time to video it, stand around without fear of the authorities and even had the nerve to put it on the internet. Guy, it doesn't matter if the three ethnic groups split apart. They will still find ways to fight amongst themselves.

Desmond Elliot was into Igbo nollywood. That's why he did that. Same way Ramsey Nouah, Lilian Bach and Segun Arinze didnt throw up their Yoruba identities.

When it came to politics, Desmond Elliot immediately went back to source.

There is nothing like half. The father decides everytime!

Are you saying that the ''Igbo'' cannot understand ikwere ??,have you ever listened to ikwere really??,ikwere is linguistically closer to mainstream Igbo in structure than even Ezza which is acknowledged to be an Igbo dialect.

Dat is not the debate here, the point am making is dat ethnic mixing creates new ethnic identity that is distinct or distinguished by a combination of both parent identity.

Unfortunately, Nigeria does not recognise 'Yorubaigbo'

During the next census in 2018, they'll be identified either as Yorubas or Igbos.

You can be sure which one they'll choose.

Does it matter? Many of dem will still go further to have inter-tribal or inter-racial marriages.

Or will u discourage dem after being the first to start it becos u now want a tribal thing?

Which ever way u see it, they are not yoruba or igbo at the end.

Why doesnt it matter

They'll be counted as Yoruba and eventually add to Yoruba population in Nigeria rather than Igbo.

Hence, they cant be 'Yorubaigbo'

It does really matter!

Igbo + AFONJA =FLATONJA ! SOUNDS LIKE THE NAME OF A MASQUERADE .

We know dat is ur agenda but time will tell if it works or fails. As for censor, if they are living with their mum becos of divorce or baby mama dont be surprise they go with igbo.

A proper censor is suppose to make provision for children of mixed ethnicity as we have in other country.

It is not clear cut as they can choose any side on paper. Population control is still best practice, too much population no jobs equals poverty and crime.

Lols I love yorubas but am igbo

same here but it's cos I schooled in the west! lemme guess u stay in Lagos ?thats why u love my afonja brethren

But when push comes to shove, her people won't accept her as a proper Iborikiti. She remains a potential Efulefu

It will work!

There is nothing like mixed ethnicity anywhere in the world. Any reference to once maternal origin is just for reference sake. It does not change the right ethnicity of the person in question.

Anybody can claim to be anything. Some Nigerians even claim to be Americans. That is not the point here.

The point is that whoever has a Yoruba father is Yoruba. chikena!

Don't waste your time on that guy, he is too bitter a man, he is always fanning the embers of disunity, you can never see him contribute intelligently to any discussion. I just wonder how some people sleep at night with so much hate in them

I don't get you.

You are the one who is trying to change the status quo here.

From time immemorial, the father decides. Nobody can be counted in 2 places.

It's why women are not allowed to inherit lands in Igboland because of fear of eventually losing it to the husband's family via marriage.

.....Diversity is good if managed properly..but a recipe for a terrible human disaster if handled the way Nigeria/Nigerians is doing theirs..

....After 50plus years of independence,Nigeria has become a castrated and toothless 'giant'..were development has been eroded systematically over the years on the alter of ethnic and religious squabbles and injustice...Even the corruption cankerworm that has eaten deep into the system is fueled and sustained by religious and ethnic bigotry..

....I use to be a 'one Nigerianist' in the past but events over the years has opened my eyes to the reality,and that is the fact that we are better off apart..its certainly not working out.
