The truth of the matter is what Kemi Olunloyo said sometimes ago that Igbos are too emotional..... That's why I still maintained that bloated emotions is the reason for their current agitation and that alone will cause the whole charade to fall like a pack of cards.

freshest4live:

But so many lgbos are the ones promoting division of Nigeria on Social Media. You said lgbos are somehow related to Yoruba's, many lgbos on this site would hate you for this.

igbodefender:
There has been a lot of rubbish posted online by anti-Igboists about the fact that 9 of the players that trashed Cameroon were Igbos! They ask mischievously 'why no one is complaining about marginalization'!

Igbo man out there, if they ask you such silly question, just tell them this :

No one is talking marginalization because the players were chosen based on merit not based on tribalism. If it is 9 Tiv players tomorrow, as long as they are chosen through merit not tribalism or hate, Igbos will not complain!

The Igbos are only asking for a level playing ground not preferential treatment.

When appointments are based on merit, the whole country benefits

I know my wife's mother is even Igbo, so if you flip the whole thing, Yoruba blood also is in most Igbo line, we inter marry.

No competition is fair, so dude compete with the rules and without, and win, that is a champ thru and thru, don't wait for any preferential treatment.

Basic123:

Very emotional.

That's why Igbo cry victim of small things.Including being in opposition or election loss

Bro, your statement about yoruba's been the descendant of igbo origin is a complete misinterpretation of history...

ODVanguard:


Yinmu. Keep deceiving yourself. Must you people form attached by force? That's how you all claimed Jewish ancestry until y'all we're embarrassingly denied in full glare, now una day try to fabricate Ife ancestry by twisting and appropriating a heritage that you have no portion in. Na wah! Shey dem swear for you people?? This una inferiority na something else!!

igbodefender:


Read your history well! Igbos were the aboriginal group in Ile Ife. The Igbo kings were titled Obatala, or Osere Igbo. They ruled Ife till about 1000 years ago when Oduduwa The Great took over for the Yorubas. The Igbo descendants are there till today, but are now Yoruba.

The point is: we are all one and should build on that, rather than all these hateful mudslinging all over they place!

Saintsquare:
When you guys create and support division you don't care, when other tribe treat your Bleep up u shout marginalization.... continue

Igbos have Judeo-Nubian origin. That remains true. They are not wholly Jewish but their origin is Judeo-Nubian. That is- part Jewish- part Nubian.

ODVanguard:


Guy stop this foolishness. This fabrication of yours has been refuted times without number yet you keep parroting it like pesin wey dem swear for. The Ugbos that you are appropriating are the ones in present day Ondo state. This sick attempt to inject yourself into Yoruba/ife history is dead on arrival. You no get Shame??

ODVanguard:


Guy, if you like you can claim Chinese origin sef, na una sabi. Never came across a more confused set of folks than y'all. Smh.

Do you know there is Ugbo in Igbo Land? What are you talking about? Have you not heard of Onicha (Orissa) Ugbo in Delta State, or Ugbodu, or Ugbokko Arabba?

This is the squad that got walloped by South Africa.....how many Hausas and Yoruba do you see there.

Omofunaab2:
Most of the guys that started that match were not igbos

Most of them are from different tribes in the South South.. While leon balogun (Man of the match) and Moses Ajala Simon are Yorubas.. ogenyi onazi is from benue state.

Only 3 igbos started that match and they are Mikel, Ezenwa and Ndidi.. . But the claimed nine of them were bifrans... Lol

ODVanguard:


See as you just expose their yansh? Eleriibu chestbeaters lawon Biafurons yi.

Don't mind these guys jawe. .. They are still playing catch up.

The Nigerian wrestling team recently got back from the world championships. .. The team won lots of medals for Nigeria and it was dominated by yorubas. .. Yet we didn't come here to scream Oduduwa team.

The highest ranked Nigerian table tennis player in the world and Africa's number one is Haruna Quadri a Yoruba Man.. . Ronke Oshonaike is the highest ranked Nigerian female table player. .. Those that will represent Nigeria at the world youth table tennis championship are simply yorubas and these kids are the future of table tennis in Nigeria. Highest ranked Nigerian chess player is Yoruba.

The heavyweight champion of the world is Anthony olaseni joshua. ..

South west clubs have won the Nigerian Premier League more than any other region in this country.

Rashidi yekini is still the highest goalscorer for Nigeria with 37 goals followed by mathematical Segun Odegbami, then Aiyegbeni.

Last year Olanrewaju kayode had 24 goals in Europe, he scored the highest number of goals by a Nigerian in Europe.

Even Yorubas in diaspora are doing better. . Talk about the likes of Dele Alli, Olatokunbo Alaba, Ademola Lukman, Dominic Solanke etc.


That's why I laugh whenever these guys claim they are the soul of Nigerian football.. . Only those that started watching football in 2016 will say such thing.


Yorubas and other tribes in the South South (especially Delta and Edo State) are the ones driving Sports in Nigeria

Anybody still in doubt should check the previous Nigeria sports festival, check the final medals table.. south east states usually compete with Zamfara at the bottom of the table

Guy, are you this daft?? So because you have an Ugbo in igboland automatically means that they are synonymous with the Ugbo in Yorubaland? Smh. Fyi, the Ugbo in Yorubaland is merely a dialect variant of 'Igbo' - which means forest in Yoruba language. Ugbo people of Ondo state do not bear any relationship or similarities with igbos of the SE, stop this attache by force!

freshest4live:

Somehow we Nigerians are related than we even know, even names likes Ada were also historically Benin names, there is a connection also with popular names like obi and oba, the ancient Nok culture also connected many tribes in the region. I laugh when ignoramus seperatists speak of a so called Luggard contraption. We are not that different as some imagine, even Hausa before Dan fodio. I think only the fulanis migrated but they have been totally absorbed by the Hausas.

igbodefender:

Some people just aren't comfortable unless the Igbo's are wrongly painted as the source of all Nigeria's problems! So unfair and yet should be expected, as other envied tribes like the Jews face the same hatred.

igbodefender:
Igbos want fierce competition (not ojoro)! Fierce competition brings out the best in us! Please bring it on! Nigeria will be better for it! What were you waiting for!?

igbodefender:
Park well o jare! Igbos are the aborigines or authochtons of Ife! Produce evidence (not insults) to the contrary or sit down!! Even the Obi of Onitsha has commissions a book on the subject that would soon be out. Simple!
