I want Ibos here in Nairaland to know that there is a very bad blood and tension between us and it's not because of anything historically that we have done to bring this about. We are both victims of mis-fitting in a political space. The disharmony results from political power struggles in a political landscape hewned together by a foreigner.

Nonetheless, it is worth appreciating that thension is very managable through outlets such as Nairaland. What ordinarily would have erupted into fracas on streets is dissipated as heat and venom on internet.

I do not believe a Yoruba would fail to act and rescue an Ibo in a distress situation. Neither do I think if a Yoruba was struggling for life an Ibo nearby will refuse to act. Above and beyond the tension that tear us apart our humanity recognizes and responds to the inner emotions to preserve and nourish life.

I love my Ibo brothers and sisters....but we no go see eye to eye from now until Nigeria is finished and everybody go hin way.

Igbo and Yoruba doesn't have problems. We only have different political ideology and different ways in approaching issues. Igbo are emotional and can't compromise their standing on issues, they tend to go on extreme to avoid being tag as coward. Yoruba are not rigid on issues, they are flexible and ready to compromise for the benefit of their people.

you are close to the truth. To add to what you have said, the problem between Igbos and Yoruba is based on what our father told us. Most of the Igbos and Yoruba who preach hatred are mostly those that have not traveled out to other region and still believe in what their father told them.

I was once like them. My judgment on Yoruba were base on what people told me about them and not really on what they did to me personally . I remember learning a skill in the mixed of Yorubas. Their language alone irritates me. I always feel insecure whenever they are speaking their language because I always think they are discussing me and this was based on what people told me about them.

The truth be told, yorubas are wonderful people. My little years of dealing with them proof to me that my parants where wrong, though we have bad eggs in every region. I can not forget Mr Yusuf of National automatic council, Abuja where i did my I.T., I can not forget Engineer Femi Akinde. I can not forget Mr. Jimmy Akinwmi and many Other.

The Yorubas and Igbos are just like 2 jealous woman married to one man(housas) who instead of pleasing themselves as a fellow woman try to please the husband. Before you crusify me I want to give you assignment.

The assignment is this
Just breathe in, relax, take a pen and piece of paper, write down how a Yoruba man or Igbo man have offended you personally and not what someone told you. Believe me if you try this you may not fine any. Why are we hating each Other? Why can we come together to fight our common enemy......

no matter how you feel you were treated, there are good people in all ethnic groups. but the fact still remains that we are very different people. i dont hate the Yoruba's or any other tribe. but Africa needs to be great. and the only way is to destroy the artificial boundaries created by the whites. we can be good brothers from afar and do business together. no matter how we try to love one another there would still be clashes here and there. what we need are separate Nations. The only time the Nigeria MADE head way was when we had regions. in a family, when the children grow up to be adults, they leave their parents house to start their own families. no one grows old with the parents living in the same house. our destinies are not the same path. the hausas are calm people but are aggressive when religion is abused. the Yoruba man is offended when his tradition is abused but is much more passive than the Northerner. the Igbos are very aggressive and have a go getter mentality which offends most of their host. God created them that way and it cannot be tames or changed even if you kill 10 million of them. they understand themselves perfectly well. i believe a peaceful separation is the best. being in this country is stiffing progress and stunting the growth of various tribes who want to be progressives. i hate the fact that people are killed needlessly because of the greed of the white man. lets make it happen to avert a catastrophe that is looming in future. it would be worse than 1967.

Yoruba has to support Igbo like Igbo supported Yoruba obasanjo to be president.. That is the only semblance to honororable thing they can do for now. Epistles are useless for now

Good. Your presentation are rational for the players of Nigerian project. Just like Ken saro wiwa of blessed memory will say ''ethnicity is a fact of an ethnic group, ethnocentrism is what's been use to cause commotion in a multi ethnic state''.

When i tell people these things they dont want to hear. The whites are people we need to emulate before we create a system that suits us. if you check most European countries they are basically people with the same cultural affinity and religion. That is why we have countries in Europe that are not very large in size. The British being an advanced country and a colonial power knew the effects of what they did in Nigeria. They never wanted us to progress because we asked for independence from them. The other ethnic group would always have problems with the Igbos because they are more republican in Nature coming from a background that is not structured to having a traditional king just like the Yoruba and the Hausa. they are very independent minded.. but others view it as arrogance and aggressiveness. These differences in FEATURES leads to conflicts. now you have a country where the average Igbo man is being subdued it irritates his natural instincts of being free and a boss to him self. suppressing a people because you dont understand them leads to crises. a case study is the Serbs and the Croatians. i dont want crises but we are dangerously treading that path. The white man for what is worth doesn't care if we all die just so that we satisfy their greed for our natural resources. Like i said, the Igbos and Yoruba's have something in common which is the growth of Africa but we are held back by the systematic programming of the British and the whites to instill fear and forcefully impose their will on us. The day the SW and SE create a country of their own is when Africa would be liberated. show me any tribe is the whole of Africa who have advanced educationally like these two tribes and the south as a whole? we are just suppressing the growth of this continent bey being entrapped in this open air concentration camp called Nigeria.

One of the region or a selfless leader is needed to champion the southern cause, the igbos sees the yourabas weak or too diplomatic a people, the yorubas view the igbos too overzealous and haven't no record of bigger monarchies, kingdoms or institution to show they will respect and submit to authorities if a southern political system is formed. South southern minorities haven't evolve in to a political unit yet. A melting pot is needed to be created among them all.
