You omitted something important. The first thing I expected to see for the Igbos is CRIME. Now I don't know if it should fall in strength or weakness. Tough choice since criminals are highly celebrated and given titles in that part of the world. 4 Likes 1 Share |

There is no African tribe that is not fetish. Your thread is all about bringing down Yorubas. You said we are not reliable. Because we dont follow unsheeply doesn't make us unreliable. Let me ask are Igbos reliable?? PROUDLY AFONJA. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Wtf does fetishistic mean anyway? So tell me are tribes only “fetish” when they involve more in traditional African religious practices? Which tribe is not Fetish if that is the case? Also, how can anyone be politically two-faced or unreliable? There are no permanent friends in politics only Prevailing interests at any given time- And YORUBAS have no issues working with ANY tribe in Nigeria to realize their needs, unlike some insular tribes who are forever at odds with some percieved enemies. We are flexible like that Proudly OMOLUABI. 3 Likes |

I live in france and each day I pass in front of yoruba prostitutes. I haven't seen any Edo prostitute yet. I love the way ignorant and ill educated nigerians like to stigmatise others. Europe is full with nigerian prostitutes and these guys from so called "majority tribes" think they are not the most represented in this trade ! Mervelous ! 1 Like |

There are prostitutes in nigeria, what percentage of them are yoruba ? A huge chunk, right ? Then why would you expect the foreign prostitution to be any different ? 2 Likes |
Re: Some Popular Tribes - Their Major Strengths And Weaknesses by Nobody: 12:01am On Nov 29, 2017 |
This is just like drug dealing. You people want to stigmatise the igbo with drug trafficking while actually every nigerian tribe is very involved in it, including haussa, yoruba, any tribe whatsoever. The same thing with prostitution, every tribe is involved but your simplistic minds want to stigmatise just one set of people with it. 3 Likes |
Re: Some Popular Tribes - Their Major Strengths And Weaknesses by Nobody: 12:07am On Nov 29, 2017 |
It is the same way they were saying that only haussas are involved with terrorism while almost every nigerian who committed terrorist attacks in europe was a yoruba whose parents weren't even muslim but christians !

The same way they said igbo are the best in fighting and yoruba are cowards who can't fight, yet the heavyweight boxing champion of the world is yoruba (Anthony Joshua) and he defeated the guy who defeated Peter Samuel (the Igbo boxing champion). SO perharps you need to stop with all these stupid stereotypes. 2 Likes |

historyworld030: See this one....you sound so naive. So Anthony Joshua being a boxing champ now erases Yoruba of their characteristic cowardice? And who said Samuel Peter was a coward? Because he lost the championship? Have you heard of DICK TIGER of the 60s? You are still a kid I know. Other tribes didn't complain, only you and your lots.....lo joko jaare..... 3 Likes |

The fact that people didn't complain doesn't mean they enjoyed being raped by you. Only kids and cavemen believe in the "virtues" of stereotypes. Let people be and stop castigating millions of people just because your mind is narrow and sick and you can't understand a fast moving and complex world which doesn't obey simplistic laws. ofai: |

historyworld030:@Ofai; The Yorubas are not cowards and unreliable. For the fact that they refuse to play second fiddle with other tribes and are really objectives in their actions does not mean they are cowards or not reliable. YORUBAs have never been defeated by any external force in history unless they their internal wars. You can give me an example, if you have contrary view. How can you call a people who have never lost a war, cowards? Does that make sense to you? Even the Hausas never looked down on the Yorubas. They can't play with fire. Neither can Yorubas looked down other tribe because respect is reciprocal. You don't expect the Yoruba to keep quiet while you try to degrade them. Have you ever thought of why Yoruba excels in all ramifications? It's because we don't act blindly and ignorantly. Yoruba, remains the tribe being envied in all black nations and the world over. Yorubas are not mate with Igbos. I am sorry to say. Igbos have their strenghts and weaknesses and they can accept it if that's ok with them. But the Yorubas will not accept what is not theirs. They have their weaknesses, but certainly not unreliability and cowardice. No, I refused to accept such negativity because of your percieved hatred and jealousy for the most advanced African tribe on the continent and world over. Why do you think Igbo women prefer to marry Yoruba men ? It's because we act with wisdom and are very objectives in our dealings and not with arrogance, greed and self righteousness that you guys claim. The Yorubas will continue to marry the best of your women because your women know our worth and are not decieved by their men outright jealousy. Had it been all you.wrote.was true...will your women fall in love with Yorubas in all ramifications. I am sure first thing that will drive them is unreliability and cowardice...women generally hate such attributes. But the story is different...so can you see your hypocrisy? Go and get a life and quit attaching negativity to Yorubas. How can you say Yoruba are cowards and unreliable..gosh! Because they refuse to fight a war that they did not believe in? Even Nollywood that you guys dominate is not as efficient and entertaining as the Yoruba movies. Quit wining and move on. That negative attributes on the.most advance black race will not work but only expose your sheer hatred and jealousy for the Yorubas. That what they say about the British but they still remain the most referred race in the entire universe. Cheers. NB: I don't really comment on issues like this but I realized this is not helping the Yoruba people as outsider believe every lies and negativity from you guys, not knowing that we just choose to ignore you people and Of course not all Igbos are into this but majority have one or 2 things against the Yoruba because of the 1966 issue. 1 Like |

geosegun:First of, the guy is not Igbo but Edo. I've noticed that anyone that criticises Yoruba becomes Igbo automatically. It is your Yoruba men that are flocking around Igbo girls for marriage and not the other way round because in Africa women do not propose to men, you hardly see Igbo men around your women. I can count the number if prominent Yoruba women married to Igbo women but that is not the case with Igbo men, maybe your women are not attractive even to your men. I dont have issues withYoruba people but you guys have been fed with a lot of generational lies that you have refused to see the truth. NB. I dont get myself invoved in tribal mess like this but sometimes you need to put the record straight 4 Likes |

I am Edo, eventhough he quoted me (I still don't understand why), the guy he was addressing was clearly ofai who is Igbo not Edo. The problem with all of you is that you very easily make mistakes while you reason, that is why you can't understand each other, you have to think deeper and always keep your mind awake in order to always get the most of all situations and avoid stupid mistakes. ovadozes: |

ovadozes: You can check my past contrubutions. I don't do this often, but was not happy when having a chat with colleagues who happen to be Igbo and a Ghanian. The Ghanian asked me that, why is the yorubas not liked in Nigeria? because, he did hear many negative things about the tribe. Why is that so? and that he hasnt even seen serious opposing views from the Yorubas, and was thinking, probably, the accusation was true? Please note that the said Ghana lives in the UK. I felt so bad, that such perception have gone even out of the nation. Igbo women have the right to refuse Yoruba men's advances. So thats not an execuse. On the contrary, the probability of Yoruba women accepting advances from Igbo men is far slimmer, and hence the discouragement on the part of igbo men to even try them in the first instance. Don't misquote me. Igbos are great and industrious people and have close friends, and we do exchange banters. But keeping silent sometimes indicate agreement, in which contrary is the case mostimes. NB: I may not comment on this issue again as I don't normally do this. Just thought someone, who is neutral, like the Ghanian young man, would read this someday, and know the truth. Cheers |
