Igbo Man's Comment On Yorubas That Got Nairaland Talking by Nobody: 3:47am On Aug 05, 2017 |
We saw the honest post below from Obi1kenobi an Igbo on Nairaland about Yorubas and decided to share it here. We removed the parts of his post that we disagree with and left the best part. See it below: "Yorubas have a long, proud history of activist resistance. Your Felas and Gani Fawehinmis and Falanas etc. Soyinka spent a long time in jail advocating for Igbos and the Biafran cause… "Fajuyi died as a loyal devotee of Ironsi rather than give up his superior." Zikist Movement's Reaction: Of course, not all Yorubas are saints just as not all Igbo’s are saints, but we must appreciate the courageous actions of people like Soyinka who went to jail for Ndigbo during the Biafran civil war; Fela who fearlessly spoke truth to power; Adekunle Fajuyi, who chose to die with his boss Ironsi in 1966 out of principle- they are many, even in everyday life- many Yorubas who have shown amazing courage. We are currently impressed with Fayose, a man so honest that he sent Ekiti Yoruba boys to learn trading from Ndigbo. Rather than denigrate Ndigbo for their ‘success in trade’ he chose to learn from them. Kudos (for now) to Fayose. Update: Obi1kenobi was roasted on the Nairaland thread (lol) for saying the truth but has clapped back well, even though he is wrong to call out Igbos for praising themselves (nothing wrong with Igbos praise themselves if they are telling the truth).

I normally agree with Obi1kenobi's comments. Were we often clash is when he says Igbo's should not boast. My own view on that is: everyone reserves the right to boast of their accomplishments. 5 Likes |

This shameless spine saw how afonjas were exposed as liars in the thread below, he couldn't contain his shame, so has to imposter as Igbo to get a facelift for his people. Afonjas yash exposed below as congenital liars. Deceived other Nigerian tribes for over half a century.

You talk about and praise living Afonjas and forget an array of dead and living Churchills, Eisenhowers and the Present day Trumps and Putins of Yorubaland. Why would the Igbos hate Awolowo and Obasanjo, the two Yoruba Patriots who preserved Igbo Properties and Cultures in real life expression till date? Okay, the Igbos want Yorubas to be Afonjas for them and they won't split an hair for any Yoruba man? The Yorubas can still vividly remember the case of Banjo/Afonja and Ojukwu/Fulani! In 2019, I pray that there will be God's Solution to this uncommon tripartite system of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

honourhim: There should be a difference between blaming Yoruba's and blaming Awolowo. Awolowo gave Igbos only 20 pounds but in everyday life, I have seen countless Yorubas so kind and hospitable, you will begin to wonder if they are descendants of Abraham who accommodated strangers, not knowing they were angels God sent to earth for a mission, and thus brought divine favour to his house. And here I am talking about both Yoruba Muslims and Christians. Of course, no ethnic group are complete saints, but Igbos should not be deceived to transfer Awolowo's percieved sins to innocent Yoruba's who would have opposed him if they could. 3 Likes |

GuyWise:Think very well of this Igbo proverb, thank me later (if you understand its import): Egbe were, Ugo bere. Nke si I've ya ebena, nku kwa ya. Meaning: Let the eagle perch; let the kite perch. Any of them that says the other should not perch, let his wings break. Our fore fathers formed this proverb n' oge gbo. They coined it from time immemorial. They believed in tolerance for opposing viewpoints.If you don't agree with it, then maybe you should begin to ask "your people" questions about whether you are actually Igbo. 2 Likes |

About the Yorubas and the Igbos... Today some unfortunate Igbos attack the Yorubas of being friends with the Hausa/Fulanis. In fact, the Igbos have always been the friends of the Hausa/Fulanis. While in '99 the Yorubas were in support of Olu Falae against the Obasanjo because they believed Obasanjo is a friend of the North by handing over to Sheu Shagari when he left power as military head of state, the Igbos formed alliance with the hausa/fulanis. They wanted the presumed 'friend of the North' to be president over them. Remember that again the Igbos loved the hausa/fulani so much that they continue to support the 'party of the hausa/fulanis than supporting their hero of defunct Biafra, Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who also contested for the president of Nigeria. Odumegwu Ojukwu performed poorly in Igbo land because they were in love with the party the northern loved. Against the Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikwe teamed up with the Hausa/Fulanis to make sure Awolowo a southerner never become president. Of course they loved the hausa/fulani so much. It is now so surprising when igbo youths especially ipod supporters here on nairaland cry to high heavens about the Yorubas choosing to be ally with the hausa/fulani. So shameful... So disheartening 1 Like |
