Heard the same from Shymmex. Iya Niyen! is this true tho? Apart from Hausa women, 90% of naija women are the same , only that Yoruba are creative when it comes to insults & have mastered the art of sarcasm & "eye cutting" ... oju mimo or fi oju ko eniyan mole na the yoruba name but a nor know appropriate oyinbo word for covert disdainful look... I think it's "sassy" and "oh no she/he didn't" or something like that. I may be wrong. So they just wanna yab Yoruba girls...no?

Issokay... Me sha, I don't see the correlation between acting like hoodrats & poor basic education that has derailed SW acada worldview.. they are mutually exclusive... In my personal capacity, I'm not for battle with anyone, I treat individual F ups as they present themselves, generalisation is not in my dictionary.... #mystandYou think they treat you/us the same? This is the Yoruba problem. We're the only ones that wants to act diplomatic. So you advise that i; 1. Alienate my Ibo neighborhood paddy that on countless occasions give my kids rides home from school when she goes to pick hers + keep them when we are unavailable...? 2. Ditch my grocery/provision store Chinonso ? 3. Delete all my Ibo friends who have been good to me in one capacity or the other ? Issokay, ayaf hia you... Lol.. Aareonakakanfo ... pls help me with that gif of Mourinho shaking his head.. thank you..

I sound like me; a Yoruba girl. oduabachanal , we've lost another one to the flatheads.
ajanakanu, why have you never been lucky with Yoruba chics and what does it have to do with Yoruba interest? Their vainglorious shakara and holier-than-thou attitude dey too much! Imagine one telling me to promise her marriage before I grease her engine. As if say her ibale still dey there. Another one telling me I'm a cultist 'cos of my obsession with Tupac. A lot of other reasons o... Mtcheeeew...Nonsense girls!

Her Highness , I hear your counsel but I am worried that what you propose has never been a defining characteristic of our people. What I mean is that, we are not wired up to predicate our renaissance on the hatred of Others. Maybe it is to do with memory genes - who knows? To be candid, I would be more worried about the role of fifth columnists as we try to fashion a way forward. I am referring to the likes of Obasanjo, who found a way of imposing corrupt public administrators across Yorubaland during both his terms in office. If in doubt, take a closer look at the indigenization process which kicked off during the period the Ndigbo were still trying to relocate their bearings - to see how much damage was wrought by corrupt Yoruba sons (I don't want to provide a list here). In this regard, the 1979 election serves as another notable example. Instead of falling back on 'vulgar identity politics' as others are wont to do, we need to appraise the role of our elected politicians over the last 17 years. Even more, let's look at what some our esteemed traditional institutions have become... Yoruba so wipe, Kokoro to n'jefo, idi efo lo wa (one of my favourite proverbs )

Efusetan, I remember one hausa man's comment on facebook. He said, the only reason he hates the Yorubas is because, we will rather fight ourselves and defend an outsider. I think you should listen to the comments especially that of Aare. They are right. Personally, I like the attacks on Yoruba people. Whether you like it or not, the Ibos are doing a good job uniting us more than any ideologies out there. In fact, I have said it before that I thank the Ibos for making me a Yoruba, than the so called Yorubas. Like I said, on facebook, I know those back in 2013, insulting their own people for Ibos, who have now become Ibos number one enemy. We have those at the war front shoving whatever Ibo propaganda against Yorubas, back to them. But the bulk of this war is in the Real life. Real life, you hardly see me smile with Ibos. I was not brought up to look down on people, and I still don't but whenever I'm around certain people, especially Ibos, I stand like a mountain. Even when we are in Oyinbo environment, I do my best to shut down whatever negative shit they have spilled around about Yorubas. I introduce myself as a Yoruba from West Nigeria. I poke fun at Nigerians plus I don't join pan Nigerian society, and you will never catch me dead with the pan Africans too. So if you have a Nigeria drupal group, count me out. I prefer oyinbo/asian groups. I emphasis on Yoruba only groups and codes, and whenever I meet those Yorubastards, I look at them like they are shit and thanks to Olodumare, I'm always in the position to give them the shit look. Aare is also right about Yorubas who do not employ Ibos at all, and there are a lot of us o. The real war is OUT THERE. Ibos dating oyinbos and turning them against Yorubas. Ibos using the usual victim complex to ally oyinbos on their side. It usually don't work, but thankfully with the growing number of Pro-Yorubas, we get to shut them down easily. Let us use the hatred as a fuel to better ourselves. This whole Yoruba men are demons can be turned into proper use, when our real life success rate shoots higher. That way, even Ibos will start calling themselves demons. The best revenge is the strength of Yoruba economy and paper(money). Ejo! I don't have time shooting blanks at people I expect nothing from in real life. Please do not throw Pan-Africanism overboard due to the antics of those who have written a very narrow agenda. Re-image it instead oduabachanal , re-frame the narrative. Some of the greatest Pan-Africanists of all time are indeed of Yoruba origin. And I think we do their memory a disservice, when we create a vacuum through abstention.

Some of the greatest Pan-Africanists of all time are indeed of Yoruba origin. And I think we do their memory a disservice, when we create a vacuum through abstention. If you have to become like a mad man to fight a mad man, you have already lost. Yorubas are not naturally known for being antagonistic. The reason we have huge historic and respected communities in every west african country is because our diplomatic nature lends to growing by building bridges. If we go tribalistic and intolerant, we become exactly like our antagonists. And then we have lost anyways. Like someone else said, our defense is in knowing who we are, and doing what we do very well. The liberal Yoruba have flourished even in the Nigerian context, in spite of naysayers. We are the point where our success politically and economically answer for us by themselves. And we didnt get there by playing other people's games (remember, we were the ones who lost Abiola and got abandoned by our supposed allies) And I have to agree with IrekeOnibudo on one other thing. Yoruba nationhood without a pan africanist context is doomed. As the Yoruba who first encountered western civilization would tell you, if they could speak from the grave. Btw, this is my first post. Thanks to Omo Akin, who it appears started this board.
