Please Nairalanders, what is the root cause of this Igbo/Yoruba rivalry? These two tribes don't see eye to eye. Why is that so?

D Genesis of d rivalry is that after their forefathers hands with d North to discredit d igbos after d civil war.
We still went ahead and become very successful and even hv d privilege to buy almost all their land and turn them into tenants in their own land.
So Afonjas are envious of d igbos bcoz of dis simple reason.

u mean on Nairaland cause outside Nairaland I know some Igbo's and Yoruba's who are great friends,lovers and so on, don't take what u see on Nairaland too serious. most of d names calling u see on dis platform like Afonjas and Igbos are just 4 fun

You mean azikwe was a Yoruba man? Dirty eboe pigs will always blame Yorubas their problems

Eboes are shameless things that always blame us for everything. They envy us and wait to see our downfall.
They will always be our antagonist. Even when Nigeria disintegrates.
Bleep eboes pigs

Op!
you ask a very big question!
Igbo love cheating others!
We Yoruba hate cheat and the cheaters!
it's as simple as that!

I have alota good Yoruba friends, I think it is an individual thing and shouldn't be generalized except for the seed of discord planted in the hearts of some by evil and wicked politicians.

The root cause can be traced to the life time feud between AWOLOWO AND AZIKIWE

. It's so deep, too much lies, betrayals and propaganda.
If you read history books, you'll understand better.
But the past shouldn't cloud and overshadow our present, and doom our future!

Nobody is forgiving no shiit. I am Yoruba and totally different from IBO. We don't speak the Same language neither do we same same tradition and culture. Yorubas and Ibos are like Germans and Russians. Apart from being whites, they do not share any similarity.

yes Abia state

It started in the 10th century- after Moremi, a beautiful Yoruba woman married Obatala Oreluere, the Igbo king of Ile Ife. She learnt Igbo strategies the Igbo warriors were using against the Yoruba who had occupied Ife and told them.

That led to the defeat of the Igbos of Ile Ife. But many Igbos and Yorubas have since become friends and couples. So that is ancient history.

Read your history sometime. Igbos were the aborigines of Ile Ife. Yes, Yoruba own it but Igbo were the aborigines.

Always think everyone hates them
