i can totally relate to what you are facing, totally! these people can be so hateful, sometimes i try to speak their language and even greet in their language, but they would still treat you with scorn, why? because you are not yoruba.

That's sad.
Akwa ibom is quite the opposite: the people are so welcoming and friendly to strangers.

I can appreciate a lot about what he says. I am not from the East but since starting operations there almost a decade ago I have been positivrly impacted by the peoples of that region. The long and short of the whole thing is that. The Igbos are the closest thing to any quest to develop, to move forward and I speak from an individual and communal perspective.

I think the average Nigerian needs to spend sometime there to complete a cycle of mental upliftment. Honestly my sojourn there has given me a competitive edge in business and professional conduct, a spirit of enterprise, innovation and the 'can do' spirit. There is just nothing beyond them. You either meet up or get left behind.

Not saying that there are no flaws. There are but these are caused in the main by institutional failure, many years of successive weak governments which I know is a fallout of the civil war. These have been blown far out of proportion by those with extreme prejudice. The typical Easterner has no issues at all. I have a very long list of clients and contemporaries from there and I have never been profiled. If you are competent they will respect you utterly and draw close to you to learn.

I think this country is missing a lot with the way Easterners have and are being treated. If ij my little corner I can see the potentials and have benefitted immensely from the kinetics, I can be certain when I say that the Igbos are more than two plugs in the four cylinder engine of development. Cylinders that are not serviced, Hence not surprising, this country just cannot seem to be able to move forward.

I'm talking to you kennyswagzz you piece of shittt, you black monkey from the dirtiest tribe in the world yorubastard.. Coward.. Monkey. When Biafra comes I will allow you guys to come in through our border only for house help and cleaner jobs only...

you must be very stupid even in nigeria now, how many yorubas do you see in the SE?
Your people come to SW to beg (beggars)
And igborilla are the most dirtiest in the world according to WHO

gideonvalor98:

Not only that. You people are generally disrespectful. There is difference between being fearless or courageous and being rude or disrespectful. I saw that firsthand. I served in eziowelle in their community secondary, those student are so rude, even to the principal.
But we corpers then were much there - like 12 or more than(almost half of us were Yoruba), we handle them with strict hands and we occasionally had some faceoffs and we do walk at least in threes when going out.
One thing that make them feared us more then was, a new batch corper(female) has a soldier boyfriend and about 3 of them accompanied her to owe. The bottom line is, you people are disrespectful to other tribes and even to yourselves. CHANGE

So all the good things the Uzubi community..Eziowelle Idemili North LGA did for you and your batch, this is how ypu come to social media to pay them back with lies from the pit of hell? All the visits to HRH Igwe MUN Okonkwo-Etusi Owelle Eziowell palace for free food, the sumptous farewell party, the cares, the trips to Arinzes, Mmagbulego's, PG's residence, and so many other trips and events just to make you guys feel at home and happy. People can be wicked and heartless.......what can we say than, may God be gracious and merciful to you in your lies. I know you very well......dont tell more lies here please.

kayusely70:
He didnt tell us about their attitude, behaviour and disposition to strangers and visitors.

I'm Igbo. I'll be sincere with you. Igbos are hospitable to strangers. They'll go extra miles to make you comfortable more than they'll do to their brothers. Our guys will fight for you. You'll hardly feel that you're a stranger. I'm not saying it because I'm Igbo, but that's the reality. Ignore all the rantings on Nairaland here. When it comes to real life, Igbos are not like that. The only exception is that Igbos can boast of their wealth. They're proud of their achievements and they work harder than before to maintain their wealth.

FortuneDeGreat:
No, inferiority complex is deeply crested in the hearts of you guys, that's why you guys envy us alot. We neither claim superiority but we are simply unique. Bye!

envy what?.. you guys overestimate yourselves too much... i have been to that anambra that you guys brag about.. reason why i am just laughing at you guys here chestbeating as if it is newyork

Myhusband:
I served in the same anambra and all these your acknowledgement is quite funny


modified

way of life

Anambra Nnewi people are exposed due to their people being the most travelled in East but their love for money is second to none. when it comes to money, human live had zero value to them


Anambra people believe in make it young and die Rich. their interest for money made them to involve in series of ritualism to look for money, if I'm lying non Igbo that served there can burst my lies, you can hardly see obituaries of old people in Anambra, Nnewi most esp (obituaries aged from 40 below) and when you listen to what causes these death you just shake your head


do I need to talk about N20 poison that can seized your legs, I got a job at Nnewi after service but I've to pick race when a man that was working in bank leg was poison with this stuff


their ladies

they're so pretty but you would never want to invite them at home, the fear of HIV and a Lady that might have been killed alive (a story of a corper that invited one and she died on spot the guy couldn't complete his service and was compel to be jail for offence he's innocent of)

just tell their ladies you're in abroad or you've container on the sea, na yakata dem go fall for you, some might even dash you money ignorantly


Philanthropic life

corpers that served there can testify projects carried out there always meet a serious setback because the rich men they always seek assistance from do turned them down

what surprise me more is their rich men, I mean those with big and exotic cars who bring kegs to fetch to buy water outside


only Igbo like them understand that you must not envy big houses at that end because the source my scare you. I met a Yoruba who called himself herbalist there, I stylishly asked him what brought him to Nnewi and he said don't you know Igbo like ritual a lot, that was prompt is relocation

Enmity

many of their kinsmen can't even go/visit village because of their pull them down syndrome that had become their habit at that end. I have a corper friend who always change to mufti whenever she's travelling from CDs just because of this wickedness of this people. the only Igbo that might relate well with you are those that have stepped out of their village and east to west, south or north, you see those that live in the village don't mess with them or else you're a goner, person wey dey used their own for suya, how much less non relative ?


marital life


if you want to marry Anambra lady, don't make a mistake to settle with the one in the village, you will regret your life. you can choose from those that live all their life out of east even among themselves in that Anambra there is always discrimination when it comes to marriage

I'm sure this is not news that some Igbo who aren't from IMO always runaway from mbaise girls, why this happened till date elude my common sense because their reason is not enough to justify such dumb rejection

You're just a liar! Most people that die in Anambra are old people. Besides, HIV isn't rampant in our ladies. Even the get-rich-quick syndrome isn't true. Simply, they work hard for their money; they create wealth. Besides, occultism is practised in every tribe; for people who like it, it's their way of life. Besides, Anambra rich men are very philanthropic. You didn't serve in Anambra. In every tribe, there's animosity and enemies within abound. It's not peculiar to Igbos. Igbos even help their brothers more.

there is nothing disrespectful about we Igbos, we are naturally bold, outspoken, fearless, smart and difficult to subdue, even before the colonial era we have lived that way without a king, that's why it took 3 decades for the White's to colonize us , something that took them 6 months to do in Yoruba land, just because a Yoruba man teaches his child to lay down flat before greeting his elders and an Igbo man teaches his child to look an elder in the eye before greeting him dosent mean Igbos are disrespectful

Shut up you monkey, who's asking you to include portharcourt to Biafra?. I've been to Rivers and your people ain't better than Igbo's so shut up, if you don't wanna Join Biafra no one will beg you, after the referendum we shall draw the line OK..


And you are saying Delta, Cross river, Uyo don't share in Igbo ideal, tell me is it your Rivers that share idea with a crossriver person or Delta person or Uyo person? is it the language or the culture or the names that you share in common??, tell me your link to those people all the way from your River state..

All these Ijaw people that want to be Majority by all means sef..

He is not Ijaw but Ikwerre!

Such rubbish can only come out from Ikwerre man's heart, not Ijaw!

those that served at Nnewi can prove me right. what's lies there?

do you base in East?

You didn't even serve there. You're just a liar! I live in the East. Nnewi is close to my hometown, and I also did my master's there.

Another uniformed sloth on the loose. Travel and see. Leave those dilapidated mud shrines in Abeokuta and travel.

i don't live in the SW you fool

Since you're denying, do you want more?

gnykelly:
same as me... before my service in ebony.in '16 I was a tribal warlord... service changed me... I'm more tolerant and objective when judging people...same thing happened when a Christian visit Dubai.

Where in Ebonyi did you serve?

Mandeyy:
You didn't even serve there. You're just a liar! I live in the East. Nnewi is close to my hometown, and I also did my master's there.

I didn't just served there I tour all the East states. from afikpo south and North, abakaliki in Ebonyi

Anambralstson:


He is Yoruba, you can add him on Facebook,
I can sponsor you to visit and confirm by yourself , lot of your people are migrating to Anambra State.

Sponsor me? Are you mad?

What kind of ignorance is this? That someone lives in Ekiti, probably born there and have Yoruba friends on Facebook means he’s Yoruba?

That surname is not Yoruba, therefore he is not Yoruba QED.

lx3as:


Actually, Ekitis had contact with Fulanis and Muslims from Ilorin before the coming of Christianity into their environ; many of them got converted and bear northern and Muslim names up till this day. There are lots of Sanusi, Sanni, etc. to some extent Gidado and such in Ekiti; although they are mainly christians now.

I really appreciate for the insight sir...

Anambralstson:

Since you're denying, do you want more?

why showing me Facebook names? Show me any notable yoruba person, politician, etc. that bears gidado

rude students and disrespectful people are found in every tribe. At times, it's caused by youth corps members who want to sleep with those girls. It happened when I was in Secondary school. The Yoruba youth corps member wanted to sleep with our beautiful classmate, but she resisted him and he then began to blackmail her. So, youth corps members do that a lot. That's why we were advised in camps to avoid Northern girls or tell their parents, so as to avoid being killed.

there is nothing disrespectful that is why you guys are hated in Ghana, south africa, india, china, malaysia, singapore, thajland, indonesia, all over the world

maiyee:
lucky you! i served or I'm serving in the west, precisely, and my stay there has changed my perception of the yorubas. Before i was posted to the west, infact, i desired to be posted to the west, but getting there the harsh treatment i and other non- yoruba corpers, especially the Igbos, have received is so terrible. I mean, their hatred for the igbos is so much, such that they may like you at first meeting but once you reveal that you are Igbo, they hate you immediately. serving in a yoruba village as an Igbo corper is terrible, i mean we came here to serve you guys, we are just corpers, why the hatred? they would treat other yoruba corpers better than you, finding every reason to discredit you, before you say I'm biased in my generalisation, i experienced this, from the motor park, to my PPA and even in the copers lodge where you see segregation between the yoruba and non yoruba corpers. Honestly i used to love the yorubas but my experience here has made me detest having anything to do with them. even the hausas are more welcoming and accomodating.

Another person said here right now that he served in Nnewi and all he saw was the industriousness of Igbos which he admired. I still maintain that you're a tribalist who didn't say what he saw. You're a liar!!!

Another impressive feature worthy of admiration is the profound positive imparts of community development associations in various towns and villages in the state. In Enugwu Ukwu, so many developmental strides were seen executed by the town union which includes the building of a town hall, assisting the government in the area of security of lives and properties, organising free jamb coaching for young school leavers and promoting a healthy lifestyle through monthly keep fit exercises.

Confirmed,Enugwu ukwu is my town, and u said is absolutely true,my people welcome other tribes than indigene.

Tranquillity360:
You yorubas can lie for africa.

Your grandma gave not less than 5 igbos land for free.
Soon your grandchildren will talk how you gave not less than hundred Igbo people land for free.

You yorubas are not accommodating anyone,we pay for rents and buy lands.

How did ipob destroy the goodwill you yorubas have for Igbo?
Before Ipob do you people ever love/like IGBOS,
Even your yorubas hero stole igbos money during the war.



Igbos dont need yorubas love/likeness.

I don’t join issues with ignorant illiterate dunces.

You must be a clown for making this kind of statement. Even on nairaland here, the way you guys behave portrays who you were...insults on slight opportunity. The thing is , you guys are doing more harm than good to yourselves.

but that's how Bode Thomas insulted Alaafin of Oyo, and he cursed him with the spirit of barking. Go and make a research; you'll discover that no Igbo man has ever disrespected an Igbo king like Bode Thomas did to Alaafin.

A real nigga
