I have had this article for more than a year now, I have been inquiring into the nature of the divide between the Igbos and the Yorubas, particularly because they are the at centre of the demographic with which I find myself, an Igbo man born and bred in Lagos, I have had to understand certain unspoken and endured some very inexplicable hatred, I too have been called Omo Ibo by those who know my name. I too have tried amidst warning of impending doom tried to be exogamous and failed because of blood. A divide gangrenous and seethed that opened its smelly rut at the aftermath of the just concluded general election.
And like most write up, this is quite reactionary, close minded and sad,It is my opinion for I lost and chose to write about the Igbos and Yorubas and why we haven’t been able to mesh in the 50 years of cohabiting and to see things from the fundamental of our nurture. For if we are both Africans, why is that group of people who have lived together and occupy the same southern part of Nigeria could never see things the same way.
Why some will sabotage the effort of the other, just to be a barreled crab and lackey with affirmed damnation unto something as accidental as ethnicity, never seeing beyond it and taking as hatred the result of that choice, even when it is glaring that it is not in their favour
It is not uncommon for you to see the Average Yoruba man putting on ankara these days, hard to sow, and expensive, but they endure the smell, just to be able to tell themselves apart, the Igbos will wear okrika for sure, and wil likely dress like the Europeans, this filtration started by Igboho and the Yoruba nation movement now becomes the determinant in smiles and frown in the everyday exchange of daily life and commerce in Southern Nigeria A lot of nationalism, and pride in the sensibilities of the insular but no sense.
WHAT HAPPENED IN BAHIA?
If a mind can only beget itself, we must see the difference in what freedom means to the two of them, where one will rather commit mass suicide in the Ebo Landing, the other underwent slavery in Brazil, shackles on the neck and the imprinting of a damnation have some cascaded thought process enshrined in Slave thinking, like bending down to ground pepper, beatings and so on.
Ajayi Crowther and the lots of returnee slaves who brought the cane and African church to the Nigerian thinking brought with them a slavish thinking of fear, that have set the two tribes apart, though they are both victims of colonialism and the bastardization of culture, there is a difference in the mentality of the two that can be subsumed into fear versus love.
WHO IS A YORUBA MAN?
A child is born with the intention and promises of fulfilling Marslows hierarchy of needs, it cries bemoans its fate and seven days later it is branded with names that symbolizes his uniqueness and bloats his ego, some even have oriki, which symbolizes to praise name, phrases and eulogies.
Fine and good, He or she becomes 3 and he is thought lousiness. They start shouting at the child.They are taught how to lousy and the lousiness is returned to them, the child communicates by raising his voice too and saying everything that is happening just as it happens, Running commentary through life. The first association the child have with basic human interaction is to be loud, jovial and comical, anyone who is reticent and doesn’t say as much might be considered proud or full of himself.
.
The imprinting of the damnation is that the Yorubas to make their children fit and sexually attractive for the rest of his/her life wiill not feed their children properly at the initial stage, “lo je coaster” e lo mu garri” claiming mi o fe ki omo mi sanra (I don’t want my child to be fat) they end up thin, having slim figures and slim legs (this is now used in daily filtration and behaivour changes in dealings)
But their brain don’t develop as a result, which end up being the major determinant in their growt and their life, The Occidentalism of that means they are most likely to learn trades, be drivers and do menial jobs as they grow older, making them very bitter and since man leans towards idolatry, they see the Igbos as better than they are, and wonder why they are not equally as smart,Or intelligent.
The Igbos on the other hand raised their children and feed them properly and even to the point of overfeeding them, which results in them having enlarged calf and yam legs which have become the archetypal insult of the Igbos on Nairaland forum, in life and other platforms.
Where one retains a slim figure, the other is wont to be fat and heavy, the one’s brain Is not developed, the other has a more developed brain is likely to be more feeling and considered stupid, spoilt, without the so called streetwise, which is just depravity and treachery of ponerogeneis.
Because of the difference in the fate, the Yorubas raise their children to be depraved, and teach him how to hate easily, the children then see ‘omo ibo” as their problem, since that is the problem of their parents and the hatred gets pass down through their generation.
For example a little child in the comfort cradle of a mother’s lap sucking reaches up to touch her face, or behave childishly in the pursuit of care, love and affection (what the Igbos call ime nwa) the Yorubas will hit child in the bark with abara make him cry, and teach him how not to know kindness the child’s brain becomes tainted with blood and He becomes unable to feel, For them, It’s a dog eat dog world, I will teach you how to eat dog, I have seen a little boy turned into a demon, They batter the child’s image at the oral and phallic stage that the child will spend the rest of his life reinventing and repairing, which is why they are wont to bleach their skin, buy clothes over food and go into rage at every jab at their self image.Some start bleaching the children skin from childhood to make him fair, since they associate fair with good.
How a lack of love in the upbringing damage an entire tribe, where one will see pity and think of tomorrow, the other can’t have it, and want their money now, owomidaism and the agbero mentality. The Yorubas will likely sabotage you the will tell on you to the boss, have penchant for fear and are easily controlled. The rich don’t know how to be rich,
They look like lizards, dry scaly bleached skins, red on the top black on the bottom . Calluses on their feet, they wear gold They only care about the now And will do any ting to sate their hunger They are the life of the party, being vain, wearing blings.
They are never mindful, litter all over the state of Ogun are bungalows without any penchant for beauty they don’t care about the future and are work susceptible, lackeying always to the inclusivity of ignorance.
Because the esteem is attacked at an early age, they are more likely to be vain, superfluous and show you will see hawkers with gold chains and earrings . flamboyant but hungry.
The average Yoruba will ask to know if you are doing better than him if he is going to help, The igbos lie to them and act stupid to get what they want, they prefer rather to teach everything as a lesson in tough love.the fact that they are denied a lot growing up t hey develop a bare neck that they never outgrow throughout life.
Unlike the popular notion they are not accommodating they are actually helpless.
This singular difference is the reason why the bulk of sports in Nigeria and other sensory activities are dominated by the Igbos, the few Yorubas allowed to play football in the National team are there to fill up a quota system. A brain that is not fully developed cannot feel.
The Yorubas get their treachery from I say its from the nurture that have been passed down from age to age, As a coping mechanism, they used to brag their ignorance and were content with learning a trade or handiwork , but it has backfired, due to the new ethos of modernity and computerization, it now made them angry, the ise logun ise theory is no more viable as the number of tailors and mechanics outnumber the demand for them.They therefor resort to fetishism spiritual daddies and alchemy
Conversation Or Death
Since they are taught lousiness they only see and seek conversation as the validation of belonging and sameness “ ah ko kin soro” automatically translates to “oni igberaga ni”
The Igbos are not trained for conversation , they prefer action, which is why their love is volatile, the Igbos keep malice a lot and like to take things to heart, where conversation is likely to diffuse the anger, the igbo man bottles up and die of blood pressure.
Loose lips sink ships, and what is lost is their character, they make themselves infantile and no one takes them serious. They shout themselves hoarse to the simplest and flimsiest of things making mountains of every mole hill. They specialize in fear mongering since their penchant for conversation, they are likely to own radio stations,Commonplace is the voice archetypal older man early in the morning with the hmm, ah e je ka ma sora every morning means the Yorubas wake up every morning with a new found fear.
Everything is an injury to their person, everything is an existential crisis if you have them as landlords, they will relay to you daily the burden and suffering of building their apartment and you end up finding ways to disassociate yourself from them they might pick a spot at the edge of the gate to monitor what you carry and your coming and going to see what is in your hand, they want you to seek their permission before going out, and if you find smell good you might not a reply for your greeting the next day. The hypocritical greeting and lip service which the igbos are not used to, put them in their constant gripe to which they reply to them always is salutation is not love!
They run commentary through life, especially when you see the quality of the conversation It is not reasonable Communication at the expense of your life, conversation or death Poor peacocks flamboyant colors empty vessels. Thy have converstatd everything sacred conversation lead to finding trouble, They have a perchance for prostitution, and the vestigial and attention seeking The lousiness in them makes them unfit to raise children or keep homes. They are constant trouble makers and will do anything to rile you up and get conversation from you, to them nothing is sacred, A Yoruba boss might make things difficult for you just for garb. Mo fe gbo nkan to fe so ni
Why is it unyielding this penchant for sabotage, as Lack of love destroys esteem, damages character obliterates kindness, are these all due to a sufficiency of colostrum?
It damns the tribe as it further embroils them with treachery and sabotage alienates the man in ignorance which drains him further, sadly he teaches his pain as coping mechanism and duplicates himself copiously
Because they are wont to attach beauty to skin, not knowing that beauty is a light that radiates form the heart, they are all about make up, make over and “mo kan fe mora die”
as much as they talk about sex, they don’t know how to have it, Sex is sensory as it is physical, Cheap prostitution obsession with gluteux,underhanded measure to look supple Taking cheap mau mau and not above putting seasoning cube in their rectum
For a people who have co-habited for more than 50 years, the line between the igbos and the yorubas should be blurred by now, however they are unable to mesh together with the inter-relatedness of over 50 years Relationships is a constant monitoring tthat day a hyper vigilance whenever they are involved, They can pick your hair, touch your hand and it’s start paining you, and other forms of wickedness like Ofa (spiritual arrow) Asaasi (spiritual tiredness) and Edi (spiritual perfectionism and occlusion)
The people are unhelpful, if you find yourself lost in a Yoruba town and ask anyone for directions, they flaill tell you ajoji ni emi na nibibai ( I am also a stranger here too) Just to make you suffer. One can see why they engage in ritual killings denied so long and still finding their abnegation not worth it make them choose to go out in a bang no regard for karma endless strife and hell, though common place among the two tribes aro meta o gbodo to oshi. They want to flaunt wealth and do it poorly in cars
Ifesowapo And a Lack Of Love
Because they don’t have love, 70 percent of the communities in Yoruba land are called Ifesowapo, everywhere feels like a local Lagos, the same shit at every town you go to.
They don’t believe in nor invest for their children and sell their houses when they grown old and live in a rented apartment,So that the child will not sell the house and gain from their sweat, common thinking among Ekiti people. capital is not an understanding for a mind that is not developed, like raven they like shining things and they are steeped in fetishism They burst my bubble for being ultra modernist and exogamous much to the chagrin of my parent And they wonder why the Igbos keep to themselves becausethey don’t see them as humanWords don’t mean anything to people who are quick to say them effortlessly
Hello my dear, sweetheart mi, Ife mi, Ba wo ni my dear, shey ti oti jeun baby, sweetheart ma mizz me ju which is why they are given the name Yoruba demons: playful men who know who to sweet talk and swoon women. They are adored by women whose childlike nature find joy in the titillation and tickle of such lip service, they don’t know how to plan so they are flamboyant in the now and spending on parties, which find tether with the women of both tribes, unlike the igbos who are are strict, vestigial and pragmatic and quite physical with their love, doing and showing rather than saying, Which few women can stand but end up looking for as marriage to a Yoruba person is like being married to the wind, you married nothing there is no loyalty, devotion, few are faithful and steadfastness to the peripetia of life, they leave when the chips are down, don’t follow people that are not their tribe home, make sure the children never go to their homeland and are light legged when things turn sour.
But the hatred is taught and acquired, they call every Igbo person they know Omo ibo even when they know you know your name Omo ibo ni eniyen To portend to the next Yoruba person the best way to deal with you going forward The Buddha said that man leans towards idolatry, and the Yorubas have personified the Igbos as the sum of all their problem.
Thin legs for the sake of mere prostitution, mean s a lack of formative feedig a lack of coluestruejm And brain development a liability to learn handwork and find books boring tether and kindred sporitLead to drinking buddies, hooliganism and mafia.
They are liable to bleach their skin, and their children’s skin for the ensuing inferiority complexGood food portends in skin tone, but they think it’s by scourin gtheir rand and drinking face puffers in medicines like superapeti, cypri gold, andMU Mu NS Lemonvate creamYou are igbo rather eat well than dress well oro intheir hand and eyes
The Yorubas were wont to brag their ignorance when things were okay in nigeria I no go school, they believed in the trade system until the modernization of society finally hit them hard and created a chasm between the igbos and the yorubas and the lack of education became too divisive and glaring.Their punishment is to not tell the igbos about moderation a trait they possess and learn from their song in fuji music, the igbos are foolish, they build mansions in the west and have no hospitals in the east, They like to live it big wherever they find themselves and Yoruba revenge for not finding the wealth is to watch it waste itself.
This type of nurture abridge them with reality, transfixes them for suffering
Yoruba hard0f hand approach of their religion is still Africanised, Church doesn’t really penetrate deep into their identification as they dabble into alchemy and fetishism, that’s why they prefer the Protestanism as it’s shallowness is enough element for Sunday acting without going deep to affect their real stance when it comes to the spiritual, indulgence and self immolation that Catholicism doesn’t sit well with the a ma se aiye ki a to se orun.
They do any for cheap attention,nin positoin of power they are vindictive and witch hunting to prove a power show and possession But they are ware hypocritical smile to act caring they are not all of their love is mechanical
Attach mortality to superficiality The might stare to save of birthday and wedding but and broke marriage slightest grain cannot be found , the latest one is bringing saxophonist and trumpeters to the house of your mother to do surprise for a woman you haven’t given money or food in months. The igbos too spend on burials of mothers they haven never given to .
WHO IS AN IGBO MAN?
The child is born with twice the pain, and expectations, especially after the civil war, the Igbos have an unspoken rule of proving themselves, after the ethos of the white man, the garri Gabon of the civil war and Catholicism was not just a mere survival but a recolonization of the Igbo mind to see as one: Christianity Igbo and Western cultures and values, which is why it is taken to heart without scepticism. For when Nigerian wage war on them Christianity especially Catholicism was what came to their aid, and they never forgot that goodwill, but they were blind to the colonization being done, and the image of the economic man that was hoisted on them, fair wife, Big mansion, and big car. Get yours, possess your possession. and flamboyant lifestyle, doing big donations in churches and talking loudly under the influence of Alcohol and placing Western medicine and values above all else, raising their children to be rigid white men rather than Africans.
No child is raised with more promise than the igbos, because of a well adjusted oral and phalic stage they are infused with egos, that haunt them all their life, they are intelligent but without the stealth to protect it, it lead to their death in the civil war, and now to more death in the fight for liberation.
I don’t fault Nnamdi Kanu and the rest, but I keep asking how many trees have they planted, how many libraries and hospitals have they built, even if you want Biafra have you started cleaning the place up for that which is to come, real progress is small and gentle, not senseless killings.
Because of the bloated and acerbic upbringing of the Average igbo child, he is likely to be restless, resentful and vengeful, get it at all means will create some enemies along the way, the igbo man will rather tile the wall of his fence than do pipe borne water in his community, chances are the so called community doubted and hurt him while he was still struggling, hs will be a success embroiled in revenge, in an ouroboros that sets them all apart Which is the reason for their acephalous nature and inability to huckle and work together in humility like the Northerners. And there lies their damnation
It puts money as the only thing of value, avarice takes front and center, and the sense of belonging is lost without money, A major determinant of a person's progress is the environment and who are the environment but the people. Sex and stress means more kids
Without education or family planning, they will proliferate uncannily A family will have 8 to 9 children Depravity and the perception of inadequacy means its etched in the person's mind that it will never be enough.But they are the engineer of their own strife
Avarice abound Little girls fanned to selling and sieving through palm kernels as a sustenance from age 5, Littered on the walls of the churches are obituaries of men in their fifties Killed by beer and bread. The East still feels like the 80s I don't mind it much for life is not abut speed, but what matters is the love in the people, You hear them say “ Ana igbo siri ke” Not only due to the fact that the land is not fertile, people resort to some sort of starvation, farming and killing pigs, eating sparingly and struggling to farm cassava for selling and buying simple things like kerosene, matches and bread, it is not a place you go to without money, but No help. People will never help you no matter how down you are, you could walk the only road in the village and 20 cars and buses will pass you by, I assure you no one will offer you a ride.
A bag of mbacha cost 3,000 naira what is 3 thoussand naira compared to the amount of stress it takes to plant Grating it to shape and taking it to the river to wash out the cyanide.
Bringing it back from from river is literally such uphill task that drop what I refer to as critical sweats from the forehead, these sweats are particularly thick and noticeable to the corner of the eye, they feel likethe very life is dropping from you,Then you look for nkata and sprinkle it on it, wait for it to dry, then you pack in a sack and wait for Nkwo Ezagu, or Afor Ukpor ( Market days) To sell it for 3k A plastic chair is now 2k ( plastic chairs are the only things in an average village living room) So when a person tells you je pata oche He's has not just given you a chair to sit, but offered to you a part of his soul.
The transaction nature of everything in Igbo land means even love and attention is for sale.
Which is why they have the highest number of overage spinsters.
Lean towards the heuristic of the fair as godly, Otu ocha as It is called (white vagina) means the igbos have an intention and inclination of white washing their race in skewed eugenics that place fair woman high in in the cadre for marriage , the women are also wont to bleach due to this knowledge. Because white women means fair children, just like the fair god with blue eyes that they look up to.
The image of Davinci’s boyfriend that litter their homes have played into the psyche of them trying to be perfect like their heavenly father is perfect. (Jesus nwoke mmarama ka nwanyi)means if you are indeed worshiping God It will reflect in your dressing, your skin tone. Go to most Catholic churches and see that the offertory is the new fashion parade, but come Monday and you will see them ringing bell for the next bail in okrika without a foresight for a reprieve.
They are good at business but bad at investment, (preferring to rent seek rather than look for people they can assist) which is why they toil the hardest and die the quickest Aspertame tongue, bread, hooked spines and hospiitals. Igbos are bloated, mentally and physically. Pride and high twitch muscles, ultra vexation and malice are common place in igbo marriages, Marijuana that is missing in their growing. They fear what is really their true nature and negate sex and redact it, while it gnaws at them, they bifurcate it with ejaculatory prayers and masturbation.
The land is not fertile without Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcout the igbos would have found it really hard to marshal out a destiny as they have to farm twice as much and what they harvest can only serve just a little they must hunt bush meat and pick cashew nut to add to something. They teach money as the most important thing and harass their children by giving them less money, beating them and making them “focused” the igbos are never die hards, almost like the Spartans in Greece who are hardened by the scarcity and aridity of their environs. The hard land makes them strong, quasi-communist, hard savers and with a strong resolve, makes them mean, go-getters and the back bone of most companies in Nigeria.
The foolishness is that their toil is not backed with moderation, they are wont to build mansions, which is similar to the heaven they are eager to go, But these building don’t have second value, and are empty It isa a greed unto waste. Inheritance becomes a do or die affair as the toil in getting can create a gully if the son is not found in the family, the man in search could discount his entire family in dissatisfaction.
The mansion mentality is wrong as these houses don’t have a second use, and value, they are built as duplexes and these are the kind of houses taht are built and remain empty for 50 weeks in a year except that 2 weeks they spend for Christmas and New year.
Christianity is to blame infused them with Christian greed to make them possess their possession. Land is not enough for it to go round their total land compared with the North is small, meaning the third generation of igbos after the civil war will probably not see a virgin land to buy
Go to places like Anambra and you will see the big big house with no beauty or trees and the junkery of the society built from spare parts, Where everyone wants to outdo each other, they destroy the house and build another one just like it, to prove that they can, greed unto waste Because of the hardened transactional nature they are likely to be repressed in chasing the best going after school with celerity and learning more just to earn enough and drive expensive baubles, and make their cars, house and wives an extension of their egos.
Sex with cousins and incest are commonplace in the East, Baby factories and pedophile rings are not unheard of either, the ones in the cities are fattened as the lonesome masturbatory achiever and will not get married on time making them perfect for corporations and the work force.
The man is most times reduced to achievements as the Igbos see even humans as means to an end and have no other way of appraising and evaluating themselves in content rather than what the person is doing, Indolence is seen as a sin, Ke crass I na gwu kita (Js1) ehen, breeding useless and unnecessary competitions among family and hatred.
The igbo man is likely to be naive and infantile, in other things beyond his concepts, will take time to leave his father’s house will mostly likely be inexperienced in the things of life, is likely to get married in the late 30s and die in his 60s.
The Yorubas look at us and laugh.They eat bread and meat all week , tea and bread in the morning eba or fufu and warmed soup at night. They end up being bloated, unyielding belly fat trust white medicine than traditional medicine, will develop acute spine bending pile,and live their entire lives with a frown, Which is why every luxurious bus you enter to the East, laxative and aphrodisiac are advertised ceaselessly.
Tbey are wont to have erectile dysfunctional, because of their bloated stomach, alcoholism and bad diet,Their wives cheat on them with Yoruba men who are assured of their lazied virility when their husband have gone to work
Like a dog to its vomit We tend to return to our toil and return home for the sake of mere sentimentality sometimes and find a destruction of the land, Agriculture doesn’t yield much and The motif of the palm and cassava doesn’t return much into the ground back in form of nutrients, leaves rarely fall and without a sharp determined cutlass you can't cut a palm branch. So the land is combed again ceaselessly which means the harvest reduces by the year, and they encroach on other places, using the trees as firewood without a sustainability or afforestation, the entire east is a ticking time bomb without the reprieve of coming to the West. We find gashes into the earth of men digging into hills for red filling sand, the river are bystanded by men who fetch sand from its current the tipper that passes my backyard from Ajari number almost 10 daily Young men on Ugwuoba roa stop buses looking for ego cigar. Idolatry means the sentiments of a forgotten past or that the shackles of a bad government is to blame for all these, when we have governors and a very especially a Senate Vice President whose recent karmic retribution is answer for the years in office without a single water in my village. Tell the so called Big men that until your community is beautiful you will never be beautiful on your own, Until your smile is mirrored You will be considered mad.
The repression, and the flawed ethos culminates as Onitsha The single most disgusting place in Nigeria, especially Upper Iweka where even I can’t dare walk at night,
Men will hit girls in their breast and buttocks chastising the clothes they are wearing as revealing “o ara icho ri ji nye nwa gi ini ki ne gosi niro” what is your own oga, you are repressed, leave that rosary and go and fuck, Mbaka made millions in the east feeding on the gullibility of the Igbos to religion, I don’t our own Religious Awilo Longomba man must wack, but the lack of a conscience of selling that filth in a bottle called Aqua Rapha is quite outstanding. Okra not being taller than the owner (that it cannot be broken) means the Igbo family specializes in wings clipping and harassment, debasing their children and reducing their self esteem, teaching the depravity and wickedness necessary for the struggle, for as Igbo man you must work twice as hard and survive on little. Village, town and language meeting with contributions are the only way the average Igbo survive. The child end up being afraid of everything becomes infantile and will look for without end to continue in the cocoon of sameness, will seek wealth as security by all means.
In a repression mired astutely in religion, means marriedmen still struggle to fuck their wives in the bed, after years of marriage.. Particularism and a better than thou syndrome means the igbos discriminate towards fellow igbos, are even more divisive among themselves and are never together. the Imo state people are seen as lascivious and prostitutes, Ebonyi are Northern cows, Anambra are the ritualists and Enugu are primitive, Delta are not even considered Igbos so marriage among themselves are still problematic.
The average Igbo man is fraught with indoctrination and patterns but will do most things not as traditions but for the fear of repercussion rather than the interested love of certain things, Hm hmm ehn ehn threats upon threats are the guidelines of behaivour as they can’t find the interest of the younger generations. threats if don’t join the village meeting you won’t be buried properly, fear in not being part of Parish Laity council, CMO and so forth.
The average igbo father is a bully and they infantilize their children denying them experiences and sating them with food and pomposity
Sickness like diabetes blood pressure and prostrate cancer are commonplace because the Igbos more than other African tribe bastardized their traditional religion and seeing it as fetishistic and the things of the devil, uphold the white God and belief system rendering their gods and ancestors useless Which is why some of them lament so much, and find things difficult when they are not following the right way.
Marshaling dreams on bathroom slippers, Trust us just a hated commodity
They are stupid they don’t know moderation, and helping one another, In some villages they will save to build churches houses for reverend fathers and there will be no single pipe borne water, The thought of seeing your brother using it, should give you joy and not make you remember that one time, he told you this and that, move on.
Derisively called Developers by the Yorubas, they spend their money building big mansions in another man’s land You will buy big cars, and eat like pigs and grow fat, while your community lives in squalor
Cassava is a curse just like crude Yam and potato's are better
What we have is a lost communityTo be able to eat our food out in the open without fear of envy or The yoruba bred fear iwth their media and radio progam
A lack of coluestreum make them unable to discount and give credence to a shallow embellishmentsGold chain and gold dead watches and earrings are adorned by mere hawkers Confusing a riot as living.The women sit with their legs spread prostitution and anything for conversion Stressed brain, empty barrels
I remember when the land was fertilee and we used to make garri
Now the small harvest now serve only mbacha\To the desirable processing due to the size, or due to the competitonfrom the west
Those who desire mbacha are homogenous and small and the call for it is within caution
Not the sweetest of food, it is a concoction of oil and spice, crayfish and and warrants fried fish or ponmo both externalities With fish on the increase, it cannot stand alone as a staple food So you have It in the plenty and bread is still a more preferable food
Unless you can have cassavA BREA
Overty in the east means they have to depend on lagos, Tel the luxurious buses to build raiklways so that one doesn’t have to sleep in lagos no
Garri the more suitable and more sought after is hard on the eyes money and time
For local processing requires you to grinding sieving and fryingOnly to find yourself writng big number 8s in your dreams, and there is no way you will compete with the more fertile land in the SouthWest.
Avaricious selfishness means transport in december skyrockets the same Enugu that was 10,600 becomes 20,000 with the same price for diesel, Just greed and capitalizing on the need that people will go home for Christmas.
The battered soul can show no love, until he inquires and find out that its’ battery it is completion. Like an egg, People keep building hoses and churches and I wonder what kind of a god are they serving Laity council chairman, village meeting chairman and there is no sandal on your child’s feetThis meeting, that meeting, august meeting to eat, dance and make noise, where is the progress of the last 60 years in Human Capital Development.
The igbo focus on segregation and heuristics as umans we are drawn to the finer things
Plump skins and fair tones means women who are fair get married quickly in the ewast and the bulk of the unmarried ones especially in enugu are black and manly looking from years of fetching waterin far distances,
The igbo know the value of the female child and work and teach them to protect their monetary value
A lot of repression, and adolescent carry over which bottles up as unsatisfactory marriages, for the lack of a playful youth will eventually reduce the singular penis to just that unless the man has the money to back up his 9 inches. There will be a lot of regret midlife crisis, and the woman frustrating the man into an early death so that she can whore self before she dies.The igbos ae landlord in lagos, because they struggle to achieve it and place their self respect above all due to their hot temper.Cant take the simplest chide, due to their never say die attitude, but the kind of landlord they are, the life they live is unsustainable in the long run and have to cull moderation and learn it fast.
The importance of this paper have been to get to the basis of this rut, find what hinders the tether of the two tribes and how we can learn and adjust to better suit each other.Until this nurture is addressed, there will be always be a gap between us, hoping this explain some of the difference in our thought process and upbringing
We the igbos have to learn the moderation of the Yorubas , and the Yorubas have to understand where we are also coming from. This article is hoping that in the next 50 years there will no Igbos or Yorubas but the mesh up of two group of Africans living in the SouthWest of Nigeria.
The Yorubas are the life of the party, the economist and moderator he Igbos are the go getters and innovators, we are better off together than apart, Continuing in this way will make it hard to for the Igbo and the Yorubas to understand each other and to find tether. for where one sees lives as meaningless and a flimsy perch, living for the day and hedonism, the other hold lives tight fisted, and see himself as the continuation of some ingrained sort of of struggle to better their lots, but when bettering one lot is the motif there will be no end to it.
Where struggle meets lousiness, it will demur and generalize them into a bunch of stupid people. But when we deny ourselves each other, we lose and don’t learn what will bring us to our general content, and elevate us collectively to the next level.
Both tribes suffer from a sickness of the mind, this article obviates what could be the cause from a causory look at their nurture, Rather than allow Social Media inflame and set us against each other, we must Learn from the sensibilities of each other, and seek a lasting solution. where the Yorubas would check the formative years of you their young and rethink their upbringing due to what it portends. the Igbbos could borrow some form the stealth, prudence and moderation of the Yorubas for a phenomenon that doesn't question its concepts is dead. A life of love and service regardless of the tribe can find tether with any rational thinking human being, Hoping this can be the norm as we move from our intolerance, learn from and teach other one people as Africans together.

And like most write up, this is quite reactionary, close minded and sad,It is my opinion for I lost and chose to write about the Igbos and Yorubas and why we haven’t been able to mesh in the 50 years of cohabiting and to see things from the fundamental of our nurture. For if we are both Africans, why is that group of people who have lived together and occupy the same southern part of Nigeria could never see things the same way.
Why some will sabotage the effort of the other, just to be a barreled crab and lackey with affirmed damnation unto something as accidental as ethnicity, never seeing beyond it and taking as hatred the result of that choice, even when it is glaring that it is not in their favour
It is not uncommon for you to see the Average Yoruba man putting on ankara these days, hard to sow, and expensive, but they endure the smell, just to be able to tell themselves apart, the Igbos will wear okrika for sure, and wil likely dress like the Europeans, this filtration started by Igboho and the Yoruba nation movement now becomes the determinant in smiles and frown in the everyday exchange of daily life and commerce in Southern Nigeria A lot of nationalism, and pride in the sensibilities of the insular but no sense.
WHAT HAPPENED IN BAHIA?
If a mind can only beget itself, we must see the difference in what freedom means to the two of them, where one will rather commit mass suicide in the Ebo Landing, the other underwent slavery in Brazil, shackles on the neck and the imprinting of a damnation have some cascaded thought process enshrined in Slave thinking, like bending down to ground pepper, beatings and so on.
Ajayi Crowther and the lots of returnee slaves who brought the cane and African church to the Nigerian thinking brought with them a slavish thinking of fear, that have set the two tribes apart, though they are both victims of colonialism and the bastardization of culture, there is a difference in the mentality of the two that can be subsumed into fear versus love.
WHO IS A YORUBA MAN?
A child is born with the intention and promises of fulfilling Marslows hierarchy of needs, it cries bemoans its fate and seven days later it is branded with names that symbolizes his uniqueness and bloats his ego, some even have oriki, which symbolizes to praise name, phrases and eulogies.
Fine and good, He or she becomes 3 and he is thought lousiness. They start shouting at the child.They are taught how to lousy and the lousiness is returned to them, the child communicates by raising his voice too and saying everything that is happening just as it happens, Running commentary through life. The first association the child have with basic human interaction is to be loud, jovial and comical, anyone who is reticent and doesn’t say as much might be considered proud or full of himself.
.
The imprinting of the damnation is that the Yorubas to make their children fit and sexually attractive for the rest of his/her life wiill not feed their children properly at the initial stage, “lo je coaster” e lo mu garri” claiming mi o fe ki omo mi sanra (I don’t want my child to be fat) they end up thin, having slim figures and slim legs (this is now used in daily filtration and behaivour changes in dealings)
But their brain don’t develop as a result, which end up being the major determinant in their growt and their life, The Occidentalism of that means they are most likely to learn trades, be drivers and do menial jobs as they grow older, making them very bitter and since man leans towards idolatry, they see the Igbos as better than they are, and wonder why they are not equally as smart,Or intelligent.
The Igbos on the other hand raised their children and feed them properly and even to the point of overfeeding them, which results in them having enlarged calf and yam legs which have become the archetypal insult of the Igbos on Nairaland forum, in life and other platforms.
Where one retains a slim figure, the other is wont to be fat and heavy, the one’s brain Is not developed, the other has a more developed brain is likely to be more feeling and considered stupid, spoilt, without the so called streetwise, which is just depravity and treachery of ponerogeneis.
Because of the difference in the fate, the Yorubas raise their children to be depraved, and teach him how to hate easily, the children then see ‘omo ibo” as their problem, since that is the problem of their parents and the hatred gets pass down through their generation.
For example a little child in the comfort cradle of a mother’s lap sucking reaches up to touch her face, or behave childishly in the pursuit of care, love and affection (what the Igbos call ime nwa) the Yorubas will hit child in the bark with abara make him cry, and teach him how not to know kindness the child’s brain becomes tainted with blood and He becomes unable to feel, For them, It’s a dog eat dog world, I will teach you how to eat dog, I have seen a little boy turned into a demon, They batter the child’s image at the oral and phallic stage that the child will spend the rest of his life reinventing and repairing, which is why they are wont to bleach their skin, buy clothes over food and go into rage at every jab at their self image.Some start bleaching the children skin from childhood to make him fair, since they associate fair with good.
How a lack of love in the upbringing damage an entire tribe, where one will see pity and think of tomorrow, the other can’t have it, and want their money now, owomidaism and the agbero mentality. The Yorubas will likely sabotage you the will tell on you to the boss, have penchant for fear and are easily controlled. The rich don’t know how to be rich,
They look like lizards, dry scaly bleached skins, red on the top black on the bottom . Calluses on their feet, they wear gold They only care about the now And will do any ting to sate their hunger They are the life of the party, being vain, wearing blings.
They are never mindful, litter all over the state of Ogun are bungalows without any penchant for beauty they don’t care about the future and are work susceptible, lackeying always to the inclusivity of ignorance.
Because the esteem is attacked at an early age, they are more likely to be vain, superfluous and show you will see hawkers with gold chains and earrings . flamboyant but hungry.
The average Yoruba will ask to know if you are doing better than him if he is going to help, The igbos lie to them and act stupid to get what they want, they prefer rather to teach everything as a lesson in tough love.the fact that they are denied a lot growing up t hey develop a bare neck that they never outgrow throughout life.
Unlike the popular notion they are not accommodating they are actually helpless.
This singular difference is the reason why the bulk of sports in Nigeria and other sensory activities are dominated by the Igbos, the few Yorubas allowed to play football in the National team are there to fill up a quota system. A brain that is not fully developed cannot feel.
The Yorubas get their treachery from I say its from the nurture that have been passed down from age to age, As a coping mechanism, they used to brag their ignorance and were content with learning a trade or handiwork , but it has backfired, due to the new ethos of modernity and computerization, it now made them angry, the ise logun ise theory is no more viable as the number of tailors and mechanics outnumber the demand for them.They therefor resort to fetishism spiritual daddies and alchemy
Conversation Or Death
Since they are taught lousiness they only see and seek conversation as the validation of belonging and sameness “ ah ko kin soro” automatically translates to “oni igberaga ni”
The Igbos are not trained for conversation , they prefer action, which is why their love is volatile, the Igbos keep malice a lot and like to take things to heart, where conversation is likely to diffuse the anger, the igbo man bottles up and die of blood pressure.
Loose lips sink ships, and what is lost is their character, they make themselves infantile and no one takes them serious. They shout themselves hoarse to the simplest and flimsiest of things making mountains of every mole hill. They specialize in fear mongering since their penchant for conversation, they are likely to own radio stations,Commonplace is the voice archetypal older man early in the morning with the hmm, ah e je ka ma sora every morning means the Yorubas wake up every morning with a new found fear.
Everything is an injury to their person, everything is an existential crisis if you have them as landlords, they will relay to you daily the burden and suffering of building their apartment and you end up finding ways to disassociate yourself from them they might pick a spot at the edge of the gate to monitor what you carry and your coming and going to see what is in your hand, they want you to seek their permission before going out, and if you find smell good you might not a reply for your greeting the next day. The hypocritical greeting and lip service which the igbos are not used to, put them in their constant gripe to which they reply to them always is salutation is not love!
They run commentary through life, especially when you see the quality of the conversation It is not reasonable Communication at the expense of your life, conversation or death Poor peacocks flamboyant colors empty vessels. Thy have converstatd everything sacred conversation lead to finding trouble, They have a perchance for prostitution, and the vestigial and attention seeking The lousiness in them makes them unfit to raise children or keep homes. They are constant trouble makers and will do anything to rile you up and get conversation from you, to them nothing is sacred, A Yoruba boss might make things difficult for you just for garb. Mo fe gbo nkan to fe so ni
Why is it unyielding this penchant for sabotage, as Lack of love destroys esteem, damages character obliterates kindness, are these all due to a sufficiency of colostrum?
It damns the tribe as it further embroils them with treachery and sabotage alienates the man in ignorance which drains him further, sadly he teaches his pain as coping mechanism and duplicates himself copiously
Because they are wont to attach beauty to skin, not knowing that beauty is a light that radiates form the heart, they are all about make up, make over and “mo kan fe mora die”
as much as they talk about sex, they don’t know how to have it, Sex is sensory as it is physical, Cheap prostitution obsession with gluteux,underhanded measure to look supple Taking cheap mau mau and not above putting seasoning cube in their rectum
For a people who have co-habited for more than 50 years, the line between the igbos and the yorubas should be blurred by now, however they are unable to mesh together with the inter-relatedness of over 50 years Relationships is a constant monitoring tthat day a hyper vigilance whenever they are involved, They can pick your hair, touch your hand and it’s start paining you, and other forms of wickedness like Ofa (spiritual arrow) Asaasi (spiritual tiredness) and Edi (spiritual perfectionism and occlusion)
The people are unhelpful, if you find yourself lost in a Yoruba town and ask anyone for directions, they flaill tell you ajoji ni emi na nibibai ( I am also a stranger here too) Just to make you suffer. One can see why they engage in ritual killings denied so long and still finding their abnegation not worth it make them choose to go out in a bang no regard for karma endless strife and hell, though common place among the two tribes aro meta o gbodo to oshi. They want to flaunt wealth and do it poorly in cars
Ifesowapo And a Lack Of Love
Because they don’t have love, 70 percent of the communities in Yoruba land are called Ifesowapo, everywhere feels like a local Lagos, the same shit at every town you go to.
They don’t believe in nor invest for their children and sell their houses when they grown old and live in a rented apartment,So that the child will not sell the house and gain from their sweat, common thinking among Ekiti people. capital is not an understanding for a mind that is not developed, like raven they like shining things and they are steeped in fetishism They burst my bubble for being ultra modernist and exogamous much to the chagrin of my parent And they wonder why the Igbos keep to themselves becausethey don’t see them as humanWords don’t mean anything to people who are quick to say them effortlessly
Hello my dear, sweetheart mi, Ife mi, Ba wo ni my dear, shey ti oti jeun baby, sweetheart ma mizz me ju which is why they are given the name Yoruba demons: playful men who know who to sweet talk and swoon women. They are adored by women whose childlike nature find joy in the titillation and tickle of such lip service, they don’t know how to plan so they are flamboyant in the now and spending on parties, which find tether with the women of both tribes, unlike the igbos who are are strict, vestigial and pragmatic and quite physical with their love, doing and showing rather than saying, Which few women can stand but end up looking for as marriage to a Yoruba person is like being married to the wind, you married nothing there is no loyalty, devotion, few are faithful and steadfastness to the peripetia of life, they leave when the chips are down, don’t follow people that are not their tribe home, make sure the children never go to their homeland and are light legged when things turn sour.
But the hatred is taught and acquired, they call every Igbo person they know Omo ibo even when they know you know your name Omo ibo ni eniyen To portend to the next Yoruba person the best way to deal with you going forward The Buddha said that man leans towards idolatry, and the Yorubas have personified the Igbos as the sum of all their problem.
Thin legs for the sake of mere prostitution, mean s a lack of formative feedig a lack of coluestruejm And brain development a liability to learn handwork and find books boring tether and kindred sporitLead to drinking buddies, hooliganism and mafia.
They are liable to bleach their skin, and their children’s skin for the ensuing inferiority complexGood food portends in skin tone, but they think it’s by scourin gtheir rand and drinking face puffers in medicines like superapeti, cypri gold, andMU Mu NS Lemonvate creamYou are igbo rather eat well than dress well oro intheir hand and eyes
The Yorubas were wont to brag their ignorance when things were okay in nigeria I no go school, they believed in the trade system until the modernization of society finally hit them hard and created a chasm between the igbos and the yorubas and the lack of education became too divisive and glaring.Their punishment is to not tell the igbos about moderation a trait they possess and learn from their song in fuji music, the igbos are foolish, they build mansions in the west and have no hospitals in the east, They like to live it big wherever they find themselves and Yoruba revenge for not finding the wealth is to watch it waste itself.
This type of nurture abridge them with reality, transfixes them for suffering
Yoruba hard0f hand approach of their religion is still Africanised, Church doesn’t really penetrate deep into their identification as they dabble into alchemy and fetishism, that’s why they prefer the Protestanism as it’s shallowness is enough element for Sunday acting without going deep to affect their real stance when it comes to the spiritual, indulgence and self immolation that Catholicism doesn’t sit well with the a ma se aiye ki a to se orun.
They do any for cheap attention,nin positoin of power they are vindictive and witch hunting to prove a power show and possession But they are ware hypocritical smile to act caring they are not all of their love is mechanical
Attach mortality to superficiality The might stare to save of birthday and wedding but and broke marriage slightest grain cannot be found , the latest one is bringing saxophonist and trumpeters to the house of your mother to do surprise for a woman you haven’t given money or food in months. The igbos too spend on burials of mothers they haven never given to .
WHO IS AN IGBO MAN?
The child is born with twice the pain, and expectations, especially after the civil war, the Igbos have an unspoken rule of proving themselves, after the ethos of the white man, the garri Gabon of the civil war and Catholicism was not just a mere survival but a recolonization of the Igbo mind to see as one: Christianity Igbo and Western cultures and values, which is why it is taken to heart without scepticism. For when Nigerian wage war on them Christianity especially Catholicism was what came to their aid, and they never forgot that goodwill, but they were blind to the colonization being done, and the image of the economic man that was hoisted on them, fair wife, Big mansion, and big car. Get yours, possess your possession. and flamboyant lifestyle, doing big donations in churches and talking loudly under the influence of Alcohol and placing Western medicine and values above all else, raising their children to be rigid white men rather than Africans.
No child is raised with more promise than the igbos, because of a well adjusted oral and phalic stage they are infused with egos, that haunt them all their life, they are intelligent but without the stealth to protect it, it lead to their death in the civil war, and now to more death in the fight for liberation.
I don’t fault Nnamdi Kanu and the rest, but I keep asking how many trees have they planted, how many libraries and hospitals have they built, even if you want Biafra have you started cleaning the place up for that which is to come, real progress is small and gentle, not senseless killings.
Because of the bloated and acerbic upbringing of the Average igbo child, he is likely to be restless, resentful and vengeful, get it at all means will create some enemies along the way, the igbo man will rather tile the wall of his fence than do pipe borne water in his community, chances are the so called community doubted and hurt him while he was still struggling, hs will be a success embroiled in revenge, in an ouroboros that sets them all apart Which is the reason for their acephalous nature and inability to huckle and work together in humility like the Northerners. And there lies their damnation
It puts money as the only thing of value, avarice takes front and center, and the sense of belonging is lost without money, A major determinant of a person's progress is the environment and who are the environment but the people. Sex and stress means more kids
Without education or family planning, they will proliferate uncannily A family will have 8 to 9 children Depravity and the perception of inadequacy means its etched in the person's mind that it will never be enough.But they are the engineer of their own strife
Avarice abound Little girls fanned to selling and sieving through palm kernels as a sustenance from age 5, Littered on the walls of the churches are obituaries of men in their fifties Killed by beer and bread. The East still feels like the 80s I don't mind it much for life is not abut speed, but what matters is the love in the people, You hear them say “ Ana igbo siri ke” Not only due to the fact that the land is not fertile, people resort to some sort of starvation, farming and killing pigs, eating sparingly and struggling to farm cassava for selling and buying simple things like kerosene, matches and bread, it is not a place you go to without money, but No help. People will never help you no matter how down you are, you could walk the only road in the village and 20 cars and buses will pass you by, I assure you no one will offer you a ride.
A bag of mbacha cost 3,000 naira what is 3 thoussand naira compared to the amount of stress it takes to plant Grating it to shape and taking it to the river to wash out the cyanide.
Bringing it back from from river is literally such uphill task that drop what I refer to as critical sweats from the forehead, these sweats are particularly thick and noticeable to the corner of the eye, they feel likethe very life is dropping from you,Then you look for nkata and sprinkle it on it, wait for it to dry, then you pack in a sack and wait for Nkwo Ezagu, or Afor Ukpor ( Market days) To sell it for 3k A plastic chair is now 2k ( plastic chairs are the only things in an average village living room) So when a person tells you je pata oche He's has not just given you a chair to sit, but offered to you a part of his soul.
The transaction nature of everything in Igbo land means even love and attention is for sale.
Which is why they have the highest number of overage spinsters.
Lean towards the heuristic of the fair as godly, Otu ocha as It is called (white vagina) means the igbos have an intention and inclination of white washing their race in skewed eugenics that place fair woman high in in the cadre for marriage , the women are also wont to bleach due to this knowledge. Because white women means fair children, just like the fair god with blue eyes that they look up to.
The image of Davinci’s boyfriend that litter their homes have played into the psyche of them trying to be perfect like their heavenly father is perfect. (Jesus nwoke mmarama ka nwanyi)means if you are indeed worshiping God It will reflect in your dressing, your skin tone. Go to most Catholic churches and see that the offertory is the new fashion parade, but come Monday and you will see them ringing bell for the next bail in okrika without a foresight for a reprieve.
They are good at business but bad at investment, (preferring to rent seek rather than look for people they can assist) which is why they toil the hardest and die the quickest Aspertame tongue, bread, hooked spines and hospiitals. Igbos are bloated, mentally and physically. Pride and high twitch muscles, ultra vexation and malice are common place in igbo marriages, Marijuana that is missing in their growing. They fear what is really their true nature and negate sex and redact it, while it gnaws at them, they bifurcate it with ejaculatory prayers and masturbation.
The land is not fertile without Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcout the igbos would have found it really hard to marshal out a destiny as they have to farm twice as much and what they harvest can only serve just a little they must hunt bush meat and pick cashew nut to add to something. They teach money as the most important thing and harass their children by giving them less money, beating them and making them “focused” the igbos are never die hards, almost like the Spartans in Greece who are hardened by the scarcity and aridity of their environs. The hard land makes them strong, quasi-communist, hard savers and with a strong resolve, makes them mean, go-getters and the back bone of most companies in Nigeria.
The foolishness is that their toil is not backed with moderation, they are wont to build mansions, which is similar to the heaven they are eager to go, But these building don’t have second value, and are empty It isa a greed unto waste. Inheritance becomes a do or die affair as the toil in getting can create a gully if the son is not found in the family, the man in search could discount his entire family in dissatisfaction.
The mansion mentality is wrong as these houses don’t have a second use, and value, they are built as duplexes and these are the kind of houses taht are built and remain empty for 50 weeks in a year except that 2 weeks they spend for Christmas and New year.
Christianity is to blame infused them with Christian greed to make them possess their possession. Land is not enough for it to go round their total land compared with the North is small, meaning the third generation of igbos after the civil war will probably not see a virgin land to buy
Go to places like Anambra and you will see the big big house with no beauty or trees and the junkery of the society built from spare parts, Where everyone wants to outdo each other, they destroy the house and build another one just like it, to prove that they can, greed unto waste Because of the hardened transactional nature they are likely to be repressed in chasing the best going after school with celerity and learning more just to earn enough and drive expensive baubles, and make their cars, house and wives an extension of their egos.
Sex with cousins and incest are commonplace in the East, Baby factories and pedophile rings are not unheard of either, the ones in the cities are fattened as the lonesome masturbatory achiever and will not get married on time making them perfect for corporations and the work force.
The man is most times reduced to achievements as the Igbos see even humans as means to an end and have no other way of appraising and evaluating themselves in content rather than what the person is doing, Indolence is seen as a sin, Ke crass I na gwu kita (Js1) ehen, breeding useless and unnecessary competitions among family and hatred.
The igbo man is likely to be naive and infantile, in other things beyond his concepts, will take time to leave his father’s house will mostly likely be inexperienced in the things of life, is likely to get married in the late 30s and die in his 60s.
The Yorubas look at us and laugh.They eat bread and meat all week , tea and bread in the morning eba or fufu and warmed soup at night. They end up being bloated, unyielding belly fat trust white medicine than traditional medicine, will develop acute spine bending pile,and live their entire lives with a frown, Which is why every luxurious bus you enter to the East, laxative and aphrodisiac are advertised ceaselessly.
Tbey are wont to have erectile dysfunctional, because of their bloated stomach, alcoholism and bad diet,Their wives cheat on them with Yoruba men who are assured of their lazied virility when their husband have gone to work
Like a dog to its vomit We tend to return to our toil and return home for the sake of mere sentimentality sometimes and find a destruction of the land, Agriculture doesn’t yield much and The motif of the palm and cassava doesn’t return much into the ground back in form of nutrients, leaves rarely fall and without a sharp determined cutlass you can't cut a palm branch. So the land is combed again ceaselessly which means the harvest reduces by the year, and they encroach on other places, using the trees as firewood without a sustainability or afforestation, the entire east is a ticking time bomb without the reprieve of coming to the West. We find gashes into the earth of men digging into hills for red filling sand, the river are bystanded by men who fetch sand from its current the tipper that passes my backyard from Ajari number almost 10 daily Young men on Ugwuoba roa stop buses looking for ego cigar. Idolatry means the sentiments of a forgotten past or that the shackles of a bad government is to blame for all these, when we have governors and a very especially a Senate Vice President whose recent karmic retribution is answer for the years in office without a single water in my village. Tell the so called Big men that until your community is beautiful you will never be beautiful on your own, Until your smile is mirrored You will be considered mad.
The repression, and the flawed ethos culminates as Onitsha The single most disgusting place in Nigeria, especially Upper Iweka where even I can’t dare walk at night,
Men will hit girls in their breast and buttocks chastising the clothes they are wearing as revealing “o ara icho ri ji nye nwa gi ini ki ne gosi niro” what is your own oga, you are repressed, leave that rosary and go and fuck, Mbaka made millions in the east feeding on the gullibility of the Igbos to religion, I don’t our own Religious Awilo Longomba man must wack, but the lack of a conscience of selling that filth in a bottle called Aqua Rapha is quite outstanding. Okra not being taller than the owner (that it cannot be broken) means the Igbo family specializes in wings clipping and harassment, debasing their children and reducing their self esteem, teaching the depravity and wickedness necessary for the struggle, for as Igbo man you must work twice as hard and survive on little. Village, town and language meeting with contributions are the only way the average Igbo survive. The child end up being afraid of everything becomes infantile and will look for without end to continue in the cocoon of sameness, will seek wealth as security by all means.
In a repression mired astutely in religion, means marriedmen still struggle to fuck their wives in the bed, after years of marriage.. Particularism and a better than thou syndrome means the igbos discriminate towards fellow igbos, are even more divisive among themselves and are never together. the Imo state people are seen as lascivious and prostitutes, Ebonyi are Northern cows, Anambra are the ritualists and Enugu are primitive, Delta are not even considered Igbos so marriage among themselves are still problematic.
The average Igbo man is fraught with indoctrination and patterns but will do most things not as traditions but for the fear of repercussion rather than the interested love of certain things, Hm hmm ehn ehn threats upon threats are the guidelines of behaivour as they can’t find the interest of the younger generations. threats if don’t join the village meeting you won’t be buried properly, fear in not being part of Parish Laity council, CMO and so forth.
The average igbo father is a bully and they infantilize their children denying them experiences and sating them with food and pomposity
Sickness like diabetes blood pressure and prostrate cancer are commonplace because the Igbos more than other African tribe bastardized their traditional religion and seeing it as fetishistic and the things of the devil, uphold the white God and belief system rendering their gods and ancestors useless Which is why some of them lament so much, and find things difficult when they are not following the right way.
Marshaling dreams on bathroom slippers, Trust us just a hated commodity
They are stupid they don’t know moderation, and helping one another, In some villages they will save to build churches houses for reverend fathers and there will be no single pipe borne water, The thought of seeing your brother using it, should give you joy and not make you remember that one time, he told you this and that, move on.
Derisively called Developers by the Yorubas, they spend their money building big mansions in another man’s land You will buy big cars, and eat like pigs and grow fat, while your community lives in squalor
Cassava is a curse just like crude Yam and potato's are better
What we have is a lost communityTo be able to eat our food out in the open without fear of envy or The yoruba bred fear iwth their media and radio progam
A lack of coluestreum make them unable to discount and give credence to a shallow embellishmentsGold chain and gold dead watches and earrings are adorned by mere hawkers Confusing a riot as living.The women sit with their legs spread prostitution and anything for conversion Stressed brain, empty barrels
I remember when the land was fertilee and we used to make garri
Now the small harvest now serve only mbacha\To the desirable processing due to the size, or due to the competitonfrom the west
Those who desire mbacha are homogenous and small and the call for it is within caution
Not the sweetest of food, it is a concoction of oil and spice, crayfish and and warrants fried fish or ponmo both externalities With fish on the increase, it cannot stand alone as a staple food So you have It in the plenty and bread is still a more preferable food
Unless you can have cassavA BREA
Overty in the east means they have to depend on lagos, Tel the luxurious buses to build raiklways so that one doesn’t have to sleep in lagos no
Garri the more suitable and more sought after is hard on the eyes money and time
For local processing requires you to grinding sieving and fryingOnly to find yourself writng big number 8s in your dreams, and there is no way you will compete with the more fertile land in the SouthWest.
Avaricious selfishness means transport in december skyrockets the same Enugu that was 10,600 becomes 20,000 with the same price for diesel, Just greed and capitalizing on the need that people will go home for Christmas.
The battered soul can show no love, until he inquires and find out that its’ battery it is completion. Like an egg, People keep building hoses and churches and I wonder what kind of a god are they serving Laity council chairman, village meeting chairman and there is no sandal on your child’s feetThis meeting, that meeting, august meeting to eat, dance and make noise, where is the progress of the last 60 years in Human Capital Development.
The igbo focus on segregation and heuristics as umans we are drawn to the finer things
Plump skins and fair tones means women who are fair get married quickly in the ewast and the bulk of the unmarried ones especially in enugu are black and manly looking from years of fetching waterin far distances,
The igbo know the value of the female child and work and teach them to protect their monetary value
A lot of repression, and adolescent carry over which bottles up as unsatisfactory marriages, for the lack of a playful youth will eventually reduce the singular penis to just that unless the man has the money to back up his 9 inches. There will be a lot of regret midlife crisis, and the woman frustrating the man into an early death so that she can whore self before she dies.The igbos ae landlord in lagos, because they struggle to achieve it and place their self respect above all due to their hot temper.Cant take the simplest chide, due to their never say die attitude, but the kind of landlord they are, the life they live is unsustainable in the long run and have to cull moderation and learn it fast.
The importance of this paper have been to get to the basis of this rut, find what hinders the tether of the two tribes and how we can learn and adjust to better suit each other.Until this nurture is addressed, there will be always be a gap between us, hoping this explain some of the difference in our thought process and upbringing
We the igbos have to learn the moderation of the Yorubas , and the Yorubas have to understand where we are also coming from. This article is hoping that in the next 50 years there will no Igbos or Yorubas but the mesh up of two group of Africans living in the SouthWest of Nigeria.
The Yorubas are the life of the party, the economist and moderator he Igbos are the go getters and innovators, we are better off together than apart, Continuing in this way will make it hard to for the Igbo and the Yorubas to understand each other and to find tether. for where one sees lives as meaningless and a flimsy perch, living for the day and hedonism, the other hold lives tight fisted, and see himself as the continuation of some ingrained sort of of struggle to better their lots, but when bettering one lot is the motif there will be no end to it.
Where struggle meets lousiness, it will demur and generalize them into a bunch of stupid people. But when we deny ourselves each other, we lose and don’t learn what will bring us to our general content, and elevate us collectively to the next level.
Both tribes suffer from a sickness of the mind, this article obviates what could be the cause from a causory look at their nurture, Rather than allow Social Media inflame and set us against each other, we must Learn from the sensibilities of each other, and seek a lasting solution. where the Yorubas would check the formative years of you their young and rethink their upbringing due to what it portends. the Igbbos could borrow some form the stealth, prudence and moderation of the Yorubas for a phenomenon that doesn't question its concepts is dead. A life of love and service regardless of the tribe can find tether with any rational thinking human being, Hoping this can be the norm as we move from our intolerance, learn from and teach other one people as Africans together.
