The reason why the every now and then rumour of Yoruba vs Igbo fight irritates me so much is that IT'S NOT TRUE!
Hausa vs Igbo I agree, always happening. Hausa vs Yoruba, I agree, always happening too. Fulani vs all the tribes, this one is currently going on. Even around the world, Tigaray vs Amhara or Mandinka vs Arab, I can understand. There is real animosity there.
Not Yoruba vs Igbo, the Sheffield Utd vs Sheffield Wednesday of ethnic rivalries.
Two groups of people who are hopelessly in love with each other, economically interdependent and emotionally co-dependent, pretending to hate each other and expending great amounts of energy to perform a hatred that doesn't exist in real life.
In fact - correct me if I'm wrong here - there is no historical account of any war between Igbo and Yoruba before or after colonization, which is remarkable given that the distance from Idanre to Onitsha is barely 217KM.
These 2 groups have lived together for CENTURIES. So wetin una dey cap for social media abeg?
Dem go just dey embarrass person upandan for social media, later in the night dem go meet for beer parlour, flex together for cabana and quilox come online dey yarn rubbish.
Saturdays dem go full IKOYI REGISTRY dey marry each other with careless abandon. Dem go come born Oluwatosin Chinenye and Ayogbami Ikechukwu
None of you has light and you've never experienced the feeling of drinking water directly from your tap without risking your life, but "na who get Lagos" be una problem.
Lagos that licensed sewage trucks to pour shit into the ocean because it can't build sewage processing centres na em una dey fight for?
I remembered traveling to Europe for the first time and it felt so odd to take water from the tap and drink. I still come dey fine bottled water upandan, oyibo begin dey look me with pity.
Like my Ghana friends will say; Charlie carry brain o!
