Thomas Sowell, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University and a renowned scholar on Races and World Economies wrote that, "Most of the great mindless slaughters of the 20th century -- whether of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, the kulaks in the Soviet Union, the Jews in Germany, the I[g]bo in Nigeria or the Tamils in Sri Lanka -- have been slaughters of those who dramatically eclipsed the accomplishments of others.

Indeed. The slaughter carried out by ibo soldiers against the Hausa and Yoruba leaders must then be because Yoruba and Hausa eclipsed the achievements of ibos.

Your onw brother wrote this....and I have read this at another place.

Why not attack the writer not the person that shared it.

Mumu, is it not Igbo posters parading as Yoruba who now litter nairaland with user names Ibrahimdamola and the likes? Is it also not Igbo men, with Kanu-like deception in their DNA, who pretend to be female on Nairaland? Abeg make we hear word ojare. Shameless scammers.

Would you bother to read the below from Balarebe Musa...? It is similar. Though I agree people shouldn't blow their trumpet but this fact is generally agreeable!

"...The Igbo are more competitive than the Hausa and the Yoruba. The Hausa and Yoruba bourgeoisie are afraid of this, in particular when there is so much to share in Nigeria. They are afraid of the Igbo because they are not competitive. Igbo are more competitive because they don’t have inhibition. The inhibition of Hausa, the inhibition of Yoruba is not there. The Yoruba can only talk of Oduduwa, the Hausa can only talk to you about empires and so on. But the Igbo are not that inhibitive, they are more republican. You can say largely that Igbo are free thinkers; they are more free thinkers than the Hausa and the Yoruba, which means Igbo can take things on face value, while the Yoruba and Hausa will not. Igbo are more competitive in terms of economic activities. An Igbo man is more competitive than a Yoruba man and an Hausa man..." Balarebe Musa

See this is the problem of the Igbo man. Unbridled arrogance and uncontrollable chest-beating that makes him feel he is better than others and has nothing to learn from them whereas wisdom is accepting you don't know it all and must, to keep growing and achieving, always drink from the fountain of knowledge others possess be they Istsekiri, Yoruba, Urhobo or Fulani.

How many times must the thread below be shown to you stubborn creatures for you to learn that the Igbo man is all mouth and must begin giving credit to others? You politicians started this nonsense proclaiming themselves supremely gifted and ordained to rule by God many many decades ago as if we are are not all God's children and as if God is bigoted enough to be discriminating amongst his children.

It is Igbos who will brag they are the special children of God who are the most capable at everythjng. Yet others achieve silently, and far more than them, in the background to prove the Igbo man is the most delusion creature on earth. I have learnt Igbos just suffer from inferiority complex and this is why they exaggerate and over-amplify their success while others just get on with succeeding and winning silently as the thread below shows.

[s]It will be a task impossible to actualise for the Igbos, to follow the Yoruba's Ideology. The Igbos are more republican by nature, which is why it is very difficult for you to tame such tribe.

From the extensive research I did on the three major tribes, I find out that the Igbos are the most westernized, most enterprising, most astute, most dynamic, most intelligent (smart), and the most technically gifted tribe found among the black race.
The Hausa/Fulani and the Yorubas have limitations. But an Igbo man doesn't see any limitations. An average Igbo man is highly competitive, unlike the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani.

While the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani had kingdoms which enabled the British to infiltrate their territories easily, the Igbos on the other hand, had what could be called "Chiefdoms" (autonomous Communities). These structures made it very difficult to tame the Igbos.
It took the British just 9 months to tame the North and South West but
almost 30 years to be able to tame the Igbos.

The British had to send a team of anthropologists to the South to understudy the Igbo because, they (the British) acknowledged they hadn't being up against a black race with such depth and intelligence coupled with the gut to confront the whites and learn from them so, so fast.

While a Tinubu, can have unrestricted influence over the Yoruba tribe, something you can only find mostly among blacks and some poor nations on earth today, an Igbo man can never be tamed by the ideology of one man unchecked, no matter how highly placed he or she is. That's why the Igbos are very successful no matter where they find themselves. They don't believe in putting limitations on their path. You can only find such similarities among the Europeans, the Americans, and developed Asian tiger nations.

A Hausa/Fulani man sees Kano as his world. A Yoruba man sees Lagos as his world. An Igbo man sees the world as his Village![/s]

The coup was by the military guys and not Igbos...How did the Yorubas and Hausa eclipse the Igbo achievement even before the war to warrant the coup..see

Igbo man was the only Secretary to Lord Lugard!
Igbo man was the first and only Secretary to Britsh Colonial Government!
Igbo man was first Nigerian President!
Igbo man was first Nigerian Military Head of State!
Igbo man was first Nigerian Senate President!
Igbo man was first Nigerian Army Chief!
Igbo person was first Nigerian female pilot!
Igbo man was the richest man in Africa before the civil war; Ojukwu's father who also played key role in founding Nigerian Stock Exchange; NSE


Igbos owned Nigeria and dominated in government, military and civil service before the 1966 coup and civil war, it was after the war that Igbos lost hold of Nigeria in terms of government, military and civil service.

Ojukwu was the first Nigerian military Officer to graduate from the British Royal Army school, google it.

Maj. Nzeogwu was one of the most educated Nigerian army after independence and he was Nigerian army instructor...

lol the writer of that article is definitely an Igbo sock puppet.

No self conscious omoluabi will be caught quoting being completely "Westernized" as a positive attribute. Only an Igbo will write such.

He even claims that Yorubas were easily infiltrated and dominated by the Brits, yet the average Yoruba of today is 80% more in touch with his culture, language, and roots than the average Igbo.

If his above assertion is true, then how ironic is that....

Here we go again. You are doing no one any favours. Migration is always done to better yourself in other places with more opportunities, richer culture, diversity and perhap a better quality of life.

If you think about this you will realise this is why Igbos are everywhere. Despite your noise, you undermine and fight each treacherously in your homeland so why would the average Igbo not want to escape that and live where things are better? Evans specialised in kidnapping his fellow Igbo , only to be balling in Ghana and Lagos, yet I know you will praise him as 'successful' because that is how you guys roll.


Do you see Igbos going back home, other than at Christmas, after they have become successful? It is because the land of others offer them the peace and more enjoyable life they know is not available in Ala Igbo.

Don't mind them. Like I will always insist, the biggest weakness of the Igbo man is the belief he has nothing to learn from others because he has been indoctrinated to believe himself superior to all others even from the womb. This is why Igbos stubbornly fail to acknowledge stone-cold fact that show others to be more successful.

An example is Tinubu. Like or hate him, the man's achievement in Lagos governance and Nigerian politics has been nothing but phenomenal in the past 2 decades. Because he is Yorubas the Igbo, with the lack of humility they operate with and their false sense of superiority over others, dont think they have anythjng to learn from Jagaban even as they are yet to produce anyone with his political sagacity in the modern era.

If Igbos are into bettering themselves , and not closing their eyes to the word and action of others , because they feel they know it all, they too may develop a Tinubu who can grow political cohesion and focus in the SE. Instead 20,000 Igbo leaders are shouting 20,000 different things at the same time and backstabbing themselves with no unity of purpose or thinking.

iammo:
insecurity, low selfesteem and inferiority complex is having to constantly blow your own trumpet even when others see you differently, it is having to talk down other tribe to feel good about oneself. irrelevant comparison.. Osu slave discriminating practice even among same tribe even in 2018. i wonder if the over 200 tribes in nigeria also starts this childish disrespectful trend of "na me better pass" if we wouldnt be looking at large scale disagreement and conflicts
