Goodmarlian:

Good one but please exclude igbos of delta and rivers from your Map, the your can have other ethnic groups but no inch of igboland is going with you ..

sirjamesjnr:
. I am PH boy, we will see ourselves as IBO. Take note of that. Define your separation with your 5 states and watch the magic.

Yobabad:
The are very lazy people, especially the very few Muslims among them and members of YMM

Goodmarlian:


That's one problem with afonjas forming Igbo's on nairaland..I spent most of my childhood in obigbo rivers state ,it was in obigbo I first heard the word "Biafra" in 2003 I just woke one Mornin and Saw the flags foisted everywhere then I asked my elder brother he told me about massob and I have that in mind till this very day..ikwerres is just one of the many igboid groups in Rivers state they are go and tell an ndoki man or etche man that he is not Igbo and recieve dirty slap..

sirjamesjnr:
. Grow up in a Port Harcourt gra, have friends mile 3 and PH main town. So watch your mouth.

Goodmarlian:


If ikwerres refuse to join igboland it wouldn't even show,nobody wants landlocked ikwerres all we want is any igboid groups in Rivers that wants to join us especially my obigbo then we are good to go.

sirjamesjnr:
. Oga stand alone and separate from Nigeria. We will support you.

Goodmarlian:


You understand little about diplomatic matters so no need talking to you.

sirjamesjnr:
. Nope, you need the oil hence you want the Niger Delta.

Sammy07:
What about Owambe

You eat till you full

As an Igbo man, I can say that it will be a great blessing when we Igbos dont have to share one country with Yorubas any more. Igbos and Yorubas hardly knew each other before the British came to 'rope' them both together into a colonial project called 'Nigeria'

So Im hoping we will all be 'unroped' very soon. It will be a blessing not to share the same country with Yorubas, same goes for Hausa/Fulani

All these write up could have been summed up in one sentence: Yorubas are untrustworthy.

Igbochief001:

None of those places are Igbo land ....name Igbo part of port Harcourt

sirjamesjnr:
. Are you a land grabber? Form your country with your 5 states

sirjamesjnr:
. Start by leaving their land and operate only in South East. Let your representative in government resign then all Nigerian will take you serious.

Lipscomb:
Do you know Yoruba people don't need igbo in whatsoever. Do you know that igbo are benefiting from one Nigeria than Yoruba people even Including hausa.

Because you people get upper hand than hausa fulani in social media that is why you guys always propagating falsehoods.

sirjamesjnr:
�To onlookers, the Yorubas almost seem homogeneous and to put up a united front,but that would be a mirage. There are definitely intra-ethnic scuffles which seek to undermine their reputed front of solidarity. However, this solidarity is real among Yorubas, in whom we have the most tribalistic people of the major ethnicities in Nigeria.

Yorubas have long developed a sense of nationality, which they guard jealously (as seen in their default opposition to inter-ethnic marriage and their strong grasp upon their cultural indexes such as language, names, dressing, cuisine, etc). While it'd be normal for you to see an Igbo or Ijaw person named Johnson Rawlings, hardly would you find a Yoruba person without some ‘Ola’ or ‘Oluwa’ affix to their names. And what Yoruba person doesn't eat amala? Haven't seen any yet.

The solidarity of the Yoruba is a blessing to them (and, most times, to them alone). There is this ‘us’ versus ‘others’ mentality that has glorified itself in their land, so they rally round their own for the benefit of their own. Their perceived neutrality towards Nigerian politics is really a ploy to be always on the winning side (because you only lose on the losing side). This has worked for them and has ensured the stability of the Yoruba land through the various undulating episodes of Nigeria's journey,often to the chagrin of the Igbos, who earnestly desire a unity of the South against the North. But that unity is never going to be because, you see, the Yoruba will always win anyway. This is a smartness that the Igbo man, in all his astuteness, will never comprehend. However, for the purpose of building a better Nigeria, this attitude seems to be counterproductive, as it seems to reflect that the Yoruba are okay with Nigeria the way it is.

That said, I'll talk about the beauty of the Yoruba people. Aside being in close terms with their culture, the Yorubas are also very hospitable to and accommodating of other ethnic groups. They are perhaps the most tolerant of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Like I said, a lot of Nigerians grew up in Lagos, a Yoruba land, and they often feel more at home in Lagos than in my own hometown. The same applies in varying degrees to other cities in Yorubaland. As a matter of fact, there is consistently a large Igbo population in most Yoruba cities (although it's hard to say whether this is as a result of the hospitabiltiy of Yorubas or of the sense of adventure ingrained in the Igbos). When I visited my aunt who is a Yoruba woman, she would treat me just like her own kid. Nevertheless, she also expected me to understand their culture and follow it like I was a Yoruba person, forcing me to learn the language subconsciously. (Don't greet an old Yorubas woman in English - it's disrespectful). Intellectualism reigns among the Yoruba and they are ready to experiment and to be open to new ways, as long as it doesn't affect their cultural indexes. (A Yoruba friend of mine who was a Muslim used to follow me to church just to see what it felt like, and another friend of mine who was born of Muslim parents started attending church just to have more religious options).

But if you ask me, i have a deep respect for this tribe, they may not be perfect, but they are one of the most jovial tribe of people, who enjoy the pleasure that life and people have to offer them.

We did that in 1967. You came to our land with British guns to force us back.

You Don talk your own kudos Now make I talk my own..

I was born in yorroberland shagamu precisely ,Yorrobers don't really love one Nigeria as you guys think, take a look at the Map of Nigeria look at the map of the southwest what do you observe? Yorrobers have all it takes be a great nation , of all the three major ethnic groups groups of Nigeria they are the only ones that do not need the minorities to survive,access to sea they have ,huge and fertile land they have ,they know this but what's delaying them is simple fear.the last thing the yorrober can never risk his life for anything in this life ,not even for money or his freedom and secondly yorrober love Fulanis.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


the problem is they are very lazy just like The Northerner. I met some of them in the UK and they told me if they are suffering it's no problem for them. Have you forgotten birds of the same feather flock together they are more happy suffering at the side of the road

kettykin:

A constitutional change will have igbos leave overnight from yoruba land. Our stay here is forced and against our will and choice nigeria practices the most lop sided fedralism in the world

why mirror in east and north in ur narrative.

sirjamesjnr:
. The East is the center of attraction. Let them come to the table as men not as weakling. Let discuss Nationhood on the basic of maturity not chestbeating. I have a lot of learned friends who are doing great in all areas of life but in politics, they are wanting.

emperorshaokahn:
you are obviously a yoruba moslem.your antics are already known to us igbos.
