Tarnisis:
OP If truly you are Igbo don't create this kind of thread again, you don't have to explain to anyone

legislatively:
First of all, let me start by saying that anybody that who says this is very much not enlightened and may have not travelled out of southwest to any other region in Nigeria before, I will give you a list (to show you that yorubas are particularly enormous in the east)

1. First of all, my Project supervisor was a Yoruba man, Dr. Shola Omodamiro from osun state, he's now the HOD of biochemistry Department of MOUAU, do you think if igbos were hostile, they will allow him assume the position of HOD? It's rare for you to see such in other region. Please kindly comfirm this name on google.

2. There are lot of streets named after Yoruba people in southeast, an example is adelabu street in umuahia and adeshina street in Enugu, if Igbos were not accommodating, they won't allow it.

Omofunaab2:
Just a handful of them ...compared to what we have here

maclatunji:
Tribalism has been allowed to fester on Nairaland up to the point that any young person that makes it their main source of information will have many distorted views of Nigeria in particular and the world in general.

The OP is right, there are Yorubas and other tribes in the East but by far, the Southwest and North have greater number of Nigerians from other regions inhabiting their regions.

bakynes:
You are just making excuses for the Igbos hostile nature, nobody is saying there are No Yoruba's at all in the East. We are asking you what Local govt in the East will you find other Nigerian tribes dominate? . There are just a few Yoruba's scattered all over the SE they do not have the numbers to form a community.

I am aware you guys don't sell Lands to other Nigerian tribes except they get approval through the state govt.

Hostile ko, hostile ni

Folks like you have probably never crossed your region so you feed off garbage from pained fellows.

Now let me school you a bit... Now grab a chair and sit down

Question: Why do people move from one place to another (Nigeria in context)?
Answer: They do so for many reasons but mainly due to trade and commerce, affordable cost of living, comfort, job etc

When you find people of other extraction moving to a different enclave then one of the factors mentioned above may be the reason. There are a lot of Hausas in Igboland, they are probably the tribe with the highest population in Igboland outside the natives and it is majorly a unique trade that brings them to the east which is livestock trade. They live together in large numbers and even form an Hausa community in every state they find themselves.
I don't know the Hausas to be people who come into another state and aquire lands, their artisans and traders hardly even rent apartments from the host communities, they prefer to live in the Hausa community or sleep in the Mosque.

Apart from livestock business where the Hausas are undisputed dominants, the Igbos are involved in any other form of trade, business or services that is needed in the south east and trust me the Igbos are always very good at what they do so its easy to get intimidated by their audacity in business. Like someone rightly observed, the south east is like a major construction zone now and most of the skilled labourers are from the south west, we even prefer to use them instead of the Igbos. Just yesterday I drove to a building site in Enugu where I saw some lovely south african brick job, I enquired about the person who did the job cos I wanted to do a similar job in my ongoing building project, guess what, it was Tunde that was the tiler for the gigantic mansion.

I don't know where you and some uninformed bunch get this information about Igbos not selling lands not non-igbos, this is very comical. Again let me try to explain; I have just described the nature of the Hausas and how that they do not really buy and develop lands outside their place, this is not just in SE but everywhere else including Lagos.
In some SE states, the average price of a plot of land in the city metro is between N10m - N50m to get cheaper lands, you have to go further into the hinterlands and in some states you cant get less than N5m. An average Yoruba man will tell you that he will buy 10 acres of land in Oshobgo with that amount of money but the Igbos are buying it at that rate in the SE and every other region. I was in Abuja earlier this month and I was amazed at what I saw. So bro, come to Enugu or Owerri with not less than N10m and see if you will not be given a land.

Regardless of all I mentioned, there are Yorubas and other tribes living happily in the SE, some even do not want to leave.

Be deceiving yourself, so all igbo lands cost above 10million naira. I bow for your lies, you be expert in lies.
