MidaxPhoenix: The hidden truth is that the igbos felt betrayed by the yorubas, the igbos have always seen the yorubas as the brothers across the niger but the civil war changed the course of thinking.

An average Igbo respects a yoruba for his intellectual prowess while the yorubas respect the igbos for entrepreneurial skills... a case of mutual respect and admiration and the igbos felt betrayed by the tribe they respect so much during the civil war..

The yorubas owe the Igbo an apology, and the igbos should learn to move on but our leaders profit from the discord, hence cannot facilitate a true reconciliation..

The two tribes complement each others,

What the igbos lack, the yorubas have in abundance and vice versa so we find it easy to co-habit.

We, yorubas are lazy, rely solely on intellectual skills as ingrained in our culture but the igbos believes in the sweat of hardwork..

The yorubas will say- I no fit do that work o! And the igbos will say - make we try am now.

Yoruba schools to become bureaucrat but the igbos schools to become refined businessmen..

During my nysc in enugu, I was privilege to teach tutorials in advanced calculus, real and numerical analysis in ESUT and IMT, the shout of ''Chike obi'' and awolowo rents the air as I give them the short cuts to solving questions.

Gba be theorem I call it...

All I can do is feel good when we finish lectures and my students give me business cards and telling me to come to their shops in ogbeite..

And igbos marvel at the yorubas mathematical skills....

Enters a store, Nna nyem this, 120, that 235, those 340.

Give him 1000 naira, Nna grabs calculator..


But the market woman in lagos selling wares, she will retort....305 ni change yin.

The igbos don't have time to calculate money, they make it in abundance and leave the yorubas to calculate.

The igbos control the economy, the yorubas regulate it..

Nigeria is truly blessed.

Akinsz: But these germans suffered with kwashiorkwo

Onlinebizexpert: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the guy above me too much......nice writeup
especially the change part
yoruba and igbo competing since the end of civil war

naija would have been better with these two tribes


YORUBA providing the spirituality,adminstration

IGBOS providing economy and strenght


what a country that would have been

funny enough there are moslems in yoruba and igboland but that yet does not affect the unity of these great entities
despite the betrayal the IGBOS feel about the YORUBAS, there is still alot to achieve as a united front

#LONG LIVE IGBO LAND
#LONG LIVE YORUBALAND

#LONG LIVE OHANEZE & ODUDUWA UNITED FRONT

#LONGLIVE NIGERIA minus OUR DESTRUCTIVE BRETHREN


NIGERIA OF MY DREAM
vvvvvvvvvvvv

devour129: I can bet you haven't eaten a proper meal today .bro go and eat cos a hungry man is an angry ,sad and pathetic man .after having that meal dust up your cv n go find a job.

Blockus:


I know right.

Imagine if I delved deeper into the evil that is the Yorubas, this thread would come alive. Those Westerners are fetish, wicked, two-faced, evil, malicious, back-stabbing, no-good, ....... Loading more negative adjectives to qualify the Yorubas..

PenSniper:

That is the stark truth - a country made up of only the Igbo and the Yoruba will be almost unbeatable in the world. LORD, please do something and help us.

U do need some proper orientation...

Ela59: you said it all. From my own perspectives, Ojukwu underestimate the power of number and experience. He was a freedom fighter but fought wrongly. I like him than any other leaders.

filiks:

Truth!
He threw caution away and acted on impulse.

BadBoy25: who has the time to read through all these Long Gibberish ? seeing the Long write up already made me lose interest . you guys need to learn to summarize your post, no one has time to waste .
what is the relationship between Igbo and Yoruba? is it bad or Good ? make it straightforward instead of composing a Novel . Time is Money .

iwonbaoko: In other words he was foolish and wasted the lives of his people foolishly

new2020:

Yoruba brain my foot....old statistics. That's the problem with yoruba people; always using old statistics. The Igbos have overtaken you guys. I'm from Cross River and we(other Nigerian tribes) know this. The Igbos lead in every educational excellence in this Country....NECO, WAEC, even simple COMMON ENTRANCE and highest amount of intellectuals in government. The Igbos intellectuals and technocrats run the government. Obasanjo a yoruba man wasn't stu$pid to surround himself with Igbo intellectuals. Yara'Adua wasn't stu$pid to surround himself with Igbo Intellectuals. Likewise Jonathan is not stu$pid to surround himself with Igbo intellectuals. Can you explain this? Yorubas are educated in mouth while Igbos are educated in deeds....you see them running things. We Cross Riverians and Akwa Ibomites love our Igbo brothers and sisters, and can't wait for a United Republic soon to happen.

filiks:

Son, take it outside, go and have that level of conversation with your fellow kids. Thank you.

Missy89: Africans are obsessed with their tribes as if it matters. Comparing themselves to the Germans, French etc really? and always b1tching about irrelevant achievements that hasn't saved them from abject poverty and misery ravaging their continent

hbpeze: all i no is that igbos survive anywere in this planet even on alien planet

watever u were made 2 believe was *fake*

The igbos were responsible for everything... They started ìt

You see why we hate Yoruba people.

You cant even accept responsibility for your actions.

Ifto say na beer palour we dey when you talk this thing, by now, you for dey find Chamist to treat you for 'head busting'.

iwonbaoko:

That is the way I see it;"Ojukwu was foolishand wasted his peoples' lives foolishly" if you don't agree I respect that but calling me son or kid is a step too far. I don't think I directed any personal remarks at you. It is your father who is the kid not me so when you see him call him "kid"

checkdate: I Dont Understand.

iwonbaoko: What kind of country can that be? A country of lions and goats. You must be very wicked and full of hate for Eboes

Heheheheee..

Enlighten me huh?! Good one.. How about you give it a shot. I will take off my sacarstic front and indulge you if you can put out enough solid points to warrant my indulgence.

And I have no hate in me. Why hate on something or someone for being something that is above their ability to change.
