For the Op to sit down and research on this means she has been having little or no sleep concerning the €asterners.

It's either you are a jilted spouse of one of this wonderful people or your land was bought by one of them.

You are here taking your time to research about people that use the same time to think of reasonable things to do.

Emeka is hustling in alaba market, chinedu is seriously busy riding his keke in mile two, uchenna is collecting house rent from P@p@ temitope whereas temitope himself/herself is busy researching on them. What a world

OP your opening sentence says a lot about you and your many contradictions.

You are Yoruba and believe you are the best people and then you descend into talking about equality among tribes and peoples.

That aside, for you to take a time out froyour infinite jobblessness to discus so called myths of other peoples shows how inferior you see yourself amomg this same people!

I believe that where Nationalism, race and tribal sentiments are taken as a sense of pride individual such an individual is an irreedemable loser!

Racsim, Tribalism, xenophobia and Nationalistic tendencies always take root during socio-economic downturns and depressions. See NAZI Germany, 1933 and modern day South Africa.

In modern day Germany, Europe and the US the most racist groups are mainly composed of uneducated losers. This is why Osun with it's teeming ignorant Tajus and Mulikats is the epicenter of Tribalism and they have a voodoo alfa priest cum refrigerator technician as their governor!

I am Yoruba and proudly so. I do not see my tribe as better than others. I do not insult the inadequacies of other tribes. I see others irrespective of their background as humans and must be accorded some respect and dignity. I have noticed however, the way my igbo brothers and sisters have really taken this ethno-political war, thinking they are better than others. They have made some points in justifying their superiority to other tribes in the country and I am here to bust some of them.

Myth #1- Igbos are Jewish descendants or are like Jewish people. Comparing themselves with the Jewish people is a joke taking too far. They say they are adventurous as the jewish people. Jewish people became adventurous for a number of reasons, chief among them is that they were forced out of their country and had no choice but to seek refuge in foreign countries. The Igbos were never chased out of their home country. They chose to leave their homeland to other places. To them, the grass is always green at the other side. Secondly, The Jewish people practiced monotheism and we all know that just like any other African society, the Igbos have many deities they worshiped. Thirdly, The Jewish people speak Hebrew from the Afroasiatic language family while the Igbo is from Niger-Congo language family like Ashanti, Yoruba, etc. I have tried many times to find any similarities between the two groups but I have not found any. They may be adventurous more than any other tribes in country, but so are the Lebanese, the Syrians, Jews and the chinese. These other groups do not feel they are better than others. It is simple logic that you tend to do better when you are not in your comfort zone. Nigeriansare rated as one of the most educated ethnic groups in the US. They just have to make use of the opportunities they have because that is the only way to survive. So Igbos doing well in the West, North and even outside the country is just simple mathematics.

Myth #2- Igbos are the most successful tribe in the country. We can define success in so many ways. I want to assume that what they mean by success is the richest. I am going to come to that. The NBS in its reports revealed that Northwest has the highest number of poor people in Nigeria-71.4% while Southwest has the least-49.8%. South-east has 59.5% below the poverty line. Talking about the richest, I will use the most reliable source for this. There are 12 Nigerians on the list of Africa's richest by Forbes Magazine. Three northerners- Dangote, Rabiu and Danjuma; Three easterners- Kalu, Elumelu and Ovia; Five westerners-Adenuga, Alakija, Otedola, folawiyo and Otudeko. Osagie is also on the list but not so sure of where he is from. What my friends fail to understand is that we all compliment each other. That you are best known for something does not mean others do not have their strength too. They are not the most successful, They are part of our success stories so also our failings as a nation.

Myth #3- 50 percent of people living in Lagos are Igbos. There is no reliable stats to prove or disprove this assertion. The last governorship election in the state has however provided us with some clues. Judging by the voting pattern in Lagos, areas mostly dominated by the Igbos voted for PDP. We expect that if they are up to 50 percent, while other tribes- Yorubas, Edos, Efik, etc PDP should have won the election.

Myth #4- Biafra is the Solution to their problems. According to them, the rest of the country is holding them down. If they have Biafra today, the sky will be their beginning. South Eastern States today, just like most states in the country rely on Federal Allocation. Biafra will still have to bank on the probability that south-south will join them as well. Segregation is not your solution, a country where equity and justice are held sacrosanct is your solution. Today South Sudan are faced with the same problem they had when they were with Sudan.

Your thoughts, insults, criticism are most welcome.

The reason for creating this thread is not to promote a tribe above any other but to put some rants to test. I am a proud Nigerian as I am proud of my tribe. That does not mean I am better than Chinedu nor Aminu. We all are good at something and collectively we can build a Nigeria we can all be proud of. I have keenly read a lot of topics and comments on this forum of which my Igbo friends believe they are better than others. I reject this. No tribe is better than the other. The Northerners, as poor as we think they are, produce virtually everything we eat in this country. They are not useless. They are contributing to Nigeria. We just need to do more and compliment each others strength

PPAngel:
Op how is osogbo by the way?

temitopeadeyemo:

Osogbo is fine. I was there during Easter. Thanks for asking.

Brugo:
Nothing is as foolish their claim to Hebrew ancestry. Even the Lebanese and Palestinians don't claim such. One tribe from West Africa would now seek to share the pedigree of Israelis.

Jokers.
