The Igbos and the Yorubas are the two dominant southern ethnic groups. They both have a rich history and culture.

In an ideal world these groups are not supposed to be in one country. They are large and capable enough to be their own countries.

This is not out of hatred but rather based on the acknowledgement that we are different peoples in culture, mentality and ideology.

This ideology is also reflected on the settlement patterns.

The Yorubas (tend) to be collectivist one their thinking.

While

The Igbos (tend)to be more individualistic in their thinking.

This general attitude is also reflected in how Igbo and Yorubas settle in their land.

Yorubas tend to group into big clusters
while
Igbos tend to spread out.

There no extra meaning other than a reflection of dominant attitude of both groups in their settlement patterns.

I think that all you now do everyday is to be thinking igbo and Yoruba.

Are you this lazy?


One of the reasons insults are hauled at Igbos anyhow because of some sort of stupid threads you keep creating.



Are Yorubas the only tribe in Nigeria for this useless analysis?

What about kanuri, Ibibio, hausa fulani, ebira, Igala..

The stupidity of you lots has turned nairaland to Igbo and Yoruba issues creating one nonsense thread upon another...


What about political culture and settlement of Hausas?


What about political culture and settlement of Kanuris?


What about political culture and settlement of Ebiras?


What about political culture and settlement of Igalas?


Are these ones not tribes in Nigeria biko this man?

Why load so much energy to one tribe as if there is great preference and superiority to other?

Why lose sleep in Yorubas issues?


In Nigeria context if you must place an analysis it must at least cover up to 7 tribes..


All your threads is always yoruba igbo Yoruba igbo...


In a serious note you are suffering from Inferiority complex personified.

If my topic violates any rules the mods will close it. In fact they even close my topics that didn’t violate any rules. So continue scrolling or trolling. Whichever please you.

Some people need to grow beyond seeing everything from a 'we vs. them', or 'we are better than them' prism.This is the height of immaturity. Nigeria will never move forward with this kind of discourse.

Sorry

Move out if you have nothing to offer than creating one senseless thread to another.

It is obvious your head is filled with Yoruba Yoruba yoruba to be creating threads upon threads and upon threads on igbo this Yoruba that..compare this compare that...

Na Yoruba be the only tribe wey dey Nigeria. Even the tribes nearer to you why don't you compare their settlement to yours and they are even closer to you..


No you will always open thread of people far away as if they owe you anything in this life...


Amadioha magbukwa gi.

LarryBee1k:
The write makes no sense. The culture settlement of Yoruba and Igbo are different?

We all know that!
You didn't care to explain what led to it
How it affect their culture

OP your write up is shallow and has no direction

Maybe you forgot to read the part that explained a collectivist culture vs individualistic culture as the reason.

Some of you guys are just here to attack for no damn reason.

His threads are always yoruba this Igbo that..

Nonsense.

Did I insult or attack any group on this thread?

Did I claim any group is superior?

As recorded in various historical documents, leadership in yoruba land was a bit more centralized unlike Igboland where leadership is spread among various villages and clans.

The effect is that people tend to congregate where societal leadership and power comes from.

This is what I am saying and the settlement pattern is a reflection of that Political history.

Most of your threads on this forum are usually divisive and laced with tribalistic intent, from my observation. I want to believe that you are an adult. Why do you like these sort of threads that you know will likely lead to tribal fights? For now (at least) we are all Nigerians, so we should strive to promote discussions that will foster understanding between the various tribes in this country, not one that will lead to enmity and bad blood. Learn to be a bridge builder instead of always creating divisive threads.

LarryBee1k:


How does the collective culture of Yoruba influenced their cultural settlement?

How does the individualistic culture of Igbo influenced their cultural settlement?

The Yorubas settlement is large due to conquest, trading and high birthrate.

Igbos settlement is small because they didn't participated in any conquest. They just wanna live and let others live. They weren't exposed to outsiders too apart from their fellow villagers.

You are right to some extent but if the Igbo settlements are forced to concentrate in one area like the Yoruba settlements Tend to do, they will be quite large.

Also Yorubas witnessed more invasions from outsiders, so having a large concentrated living might have been a great way to protect against invasions.

In smaller groups, an invader can take them out one by one but in larger groups, they were able to fight off invasions.

That is not true, I do not start any thread to insult any group. But if I know a bitter truth that must be said I won’t hesitate to say it. That’s why some people don’t like me. I say things the ways I see them.

If a situation or country is not working out, I will say it. I won’t hold my tongue and pretend that all is well like some Nigerians love to do.

Some people label you hateful or tribalist when you say the truth that makes them uncomfortable. That’s just the fact of life I have come to accept.

Dude this thread is just USELESS
Why must it be always YORUBA and IGBO all the time? Is thier no other tribe in Nigeria? Why must it be ALWAYS be YORUBA vs IGBO?This trend has almost made NL an Igbo yoruba affair...
Check the politics section,if 100 thread are created,70 of them is always Igbo vs yoruba,IPOB,MNk and Igbo related stuff although some of those threads are created by imposters pretending to be igbos especially one OKPALA ANAMBRA with his alternate monikers like AREWA AND CO.

You and I know that this forum has a very bad reputation of being infested with tribalists, ethnic supremacists and jingoists, and I put it to you that you are an enabler of that reputation because threads like this always get hijacked by ethnic jingoist and tribalists. Yorubas and igbos are the biggest culprits in this regard, as they see threads like this as an opportunity to denigrate each other. You probably see this sort of ethnically laced threads as a way of validating your own biases. Continue you hear. Hopefully one day you and your ilk will grow up.

Some will just wake up in the morning and say to themselves "what RUBBISH am I gonna write today"?

But, isnt recognising differences key to knowing how to plan and negotiate peaceful coexistence between the two southern tribes? The OP just described differences and didn’t grade a course! Jeez.
Why do people get scared and become antagonistic when faced with issues like this? Once people read self determination and freedom they become antsy but let me not digress.
@OP, this is a nice thread.
I will add to their differences- the Igbos revere Ojukwu and hate Awolowo. The Yorubas do the reverse. This can be compared to a religious fervour, or zealotry, how ardently the tribes differently feel these two men. This fundamental differences in thinking and settling and liking should ensure these two nations existing differently, or if in a country each following a regional approach to issues, challenging and potentiating each other, towards social development and progress.
Then, the differences of these two related tribes (they are related linguistically, etc) despite the glaring social differences become insignificant when either or both of them are compared with the other big tribe, Hausa-Fulani. This third group is diametrically different, both naturally and artificially and it would be insane to consider them existing together with the other two. But Lugard and Shaw selfishly and cruelly thought otherwise, in their quest to create a toy-country. Chai!
The only thing that can save us (the people in the construct called Nigeria) is a referendum with a splitting at best, or restructuring towards regionalism as the alternative. That is the only way for a respectable country to emerge. But we all know the people who need to maintain the status quo, both within, and without
