Another stereotype is that Igbos like trading better than education. This is a lie. Most Igbo people like education and prefer corporate work rather than trading. They went into trading because of a lack of jobs. An Igbo man can do anything just to maintain his wife and children instead of walking the streets as area boys and girls. Most of the Igbo traders actually have university degrees but couldn't get jobs after graduation.
I'm from the united states and just took DNA tests from AncestryDNA and 23 and Me. My results tell me that my ancestors are Highly likely from the IGBO tribe. So now i'm trying to learn about everything.
Hello I also am from usa if you upload your Ancestry DNA to the company Living DNA it will give you your breakdown. Igbo was my highest percentage along with Tikar many other results.
Ancestry DNA is wrong, there is no way science can figure out the things they tell you with DNA, however, it maybe useful in pointing you in the correct direction, as it seems it may have done for you. I am also Igbo from Africa, and Creek Indian once they came to America. It took me YEARS to find this out and tons of information, along with the DNA test. I also found out they came from Africa on there own, NOT on a white owned slave ship
I am also doing the same. I’m from Trinidad 🇹🇹 but live in the USA. 23 and Me indicated my ancestry is highly likely Nigerian Igbo people. I’m trying to learn the characteristic of my people. This discussion is very interesting.
You're Igbo because you were a Calabar man before you were carved off into Cameroon after your forefathers voted through a referendum to go towards Cameroon in 1966.
You guys are so hilarious. I'm from the diaspora, Trinidad and Tobago, and it's so entertaining listening to our Nigerian family. 🤣😂. I can relate to both sides.
Hahaha, my father is Nigerian Igbo but I live in Germany. I cut my hair short short for no reason and he was going on about who died. I enjoy the content, getting to know more about Nigeria. Thank you
OMG...You 2 are HILARIOUS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I 'm originally from St. Croix US Virgin Islands, and according to my DNA test, I'm Igbo and PROUD of it!!!! I just got back from Nigeria in December, my first visit to Africa...LOVED it!!! I gotta admit though, Yoruba's hate on Igbos, I witnessed it first hand when I was there, but love them anyway!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The politicians made it so, the British pitched the three major tribes in Nigeria against each other prior to and after the independence, unfortunately, the politicians have been riding on that division ever since, so the land can remain divided and vulnerable. A recent published DNA analysis showed that the Yoruba, and Igbo Tribes in Nigeria and the AKAN, and GAA Tribes in Ghana are all 99.9% genetically connected. All from one paternal lineage. Amazing!
I’m Norwegian and i have no idea why i just watched this whole video, but now suddenly i just want to learn african languages and impress my friends mom haha
I applaud prince for his last statement. When he meets someone he doesn’t think of what stereotype are associated with where they are from. Which should be the case at all time.
I love Yorubas, Igbos, and Hausas. Of a truth, I love all Nigerians and all people. Going to church will not save any body. The book of Jude speaks against osas. Eternal salvation is for people that obey Jesus. Hebrews 5:9. It is not okay to sin. They [all the armies of the world] will try to kill Jesus again but he is immortal and will not die the second time. Separate the true Lord Jesus from the Roman catholic sunday system. No righteous Christian has killed or raped any body. Jesus is the only true God of love that shall return soon, but the other gods are false with hatred for mankind. Did Allah, Brahma, Buddha, Krishna, Yahweh, etc die for your salvation?
I love this shows guys, it gives me joy, I'm igbo man here is my correction we don't sale our daughter it's our culture and should be acknowledged, thanks so much I love yoruba especially their language when they're about to fight 🤣🤣
This is one of the interesting, accurate and purposeful program from my country youths. I wish such discussions could be held frequently between the three troubling tribes in Nigeria; Yoruba, Hausa and the Igbos who have been perpetually victimized by the first two groups. I am not from the west,north or east (the three troublers of our land), but not until these groups learn to stop lying against each other and accept realities Nigeria would suffer. Even self, they should allow and elect from the minoriry to rule the country and thinks would get better fast.
Don't spread the lies you aren't familiar with. The British started the problem from the getgo. The British pitched one tribe against the other when they deceptively annexed the three Tribes using a treaty signed with the Yoruba, the treaty which had nothing to do with annexing the people together. The British intensified the divide and conquer policy when the fight for independence started even after the independence. The politicians had been using the same strategy ever since as most them are European puppets. Anyway, the younger generation is changing things gradually.
I just took my DNA Frm Ancestry and I’m Nigerian , based off the locations it looks like I’m Yoruba so I searched Yoruba on TH-cam and google and found this video and I’m amazed because this girl on the left look exactly like me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s scary and so interesting
Hey my brother and sister. I really enjoyed this sit down and chat video. I have brothers and sisters from both tribes and I get along with them both. I was enslaved so I'm from both sides. Thanks for sharing this video.
@@blackwood1064 I spirit only, my friend. My father went to Ghana once to film a documentary and brought back an exchange cameraman from there. That was about 62 years ago in Toronto -and there weren’t very many black people in “Hogtown” back then, so it was a big thrill to meet this handsome, polite and interesting man from so far away in Africa (my mother was smitten! She still remembers that day-she’s 92 years old now!) But now Toronto has a huge Caribbean diaspora and a very lively Carnival season, great food and music and costumes. But I have lived on the West Coast, five thousand kilometres west of my home city, for almost 50 years. Most of the black people here are from California and came up as conscientious objectors to the Vietnam War back in the early 70s (100,000 Americans moved to Canada back then, the largest single emigration in USA history). I live on a small Island off the east coast of Vancouver Island. There are about 1400 people here, only five black people, one born here, one in Toronto and three-my good friend’s wife and two daughters whom he met in Dominican Republic- are actually Haitian and very happy to be away from that place-but I met them the day they arrived: it had just snowed about 30 cm, they’d never seen snow before and it put Mama Ruth into a state of shock-until she went to Montreal to visit here sister (there’s a big Haitian community there because the language is French) and she realized a little snow here is almost tropical compared to Montreal which is veeeeeerrrrryyyy cold during their long, long winters with lots and lots of ice and snow. Plus she didn’t realize that although the days are very short here in winter, they are very long in summer when it’s nice and hot. Her girls are fine, though. They never lived in Haiti and don’t speak much Creole, rather their mother tongue is Spanish. Now they speak English perfectly-they both were top of their classes at school, even when they were just learning english-very, very smart, those girls! And now they have a baby brother, Carlo, born Canadian, who speaks only English. He’s my little buddy. His dad runs the local brewhouse so I see him a lot in the summer. Our Island is a very friendly place, everyone is welcome, so if you’re ever in British Columbia, don’t forget to visit. Just ask for Scotty (or my wife, Frankie) -everybody knows everybody here. Bye for now and all the best in 2024! XOX
The guy didn't do justice to the question about the literacy rate in Igboland. The guy said the impact of the civil way caused the lower literacy rate in Igboland after the war, but he failed to explain that today, there is no gap in literacy between the yorubas and the Igbos. Today, Imo State, which is an Igboland, has the highest literacy rate in Nigeria.
Yes, you are right. Imo has the highest literacy in Nigeria but it's so sad that they've the highest unemployed graduates🤦🤦. In terms of educational performance, Anambra seems to be unmatched in Nigeria particularly in SSCE, UTME & International exams & quiz
@@anthonyobioraokeke3788 when will you Anambra people learn not to talk down on people? Which one is unemployment rate in Imo is high? I’m sure you have not been to Imo state because if you do, you will know that most people living in Owerri and other parts of Imo are not from Imo state, meaning that most of these people added to the increase of unemployment you are not sure of. Secondly most Imo graduates are gainfully employed home and abroad. They are not majorly traders like Anambra people. Get off your high horse if you understand what I mean.
@@julesjay943 What's special about Imo, Imo was where I had my secondary education at Awo+Omamma, Oru East. And I'm saying according to report, I can't just cook up that story. I had to respond which was the same day I replied this comment because that time when the list of highest literacy states came up, Anambra was about 4th in a Facebook post & some Imo guy said that Anambra should be removed from the list, the same Imo state that was reported to have high unemployment rate, I became furious same way a lot of people reacted to his comment. Infact a Yoruba guy has to reply his comment saying that "why should they be removed from the list that he's even surprised that they're not first in the list"
@@anthonyobioraokeke3788 you see that thing I was saying. Nothing special about Imo state but you think there’s something special about Anambra state. All of you are the same. Please go with your little mind and inferiority complex.

It's actually not. From Nigeria, we can tell how different it is. Some less externally exposed Yorubas mix up their Hs, like "heverybody", "ouse". Some Igbos drag their words in a way that is hard to describe

It can get really complicated, especially between ethnicities and religions. There has to be a balance in power between all the tribes and religions or else things can get really tense. The entire Nigerian civil war was fought because the igbo's got annoyed about the Hausa's being given most of the power by the British after gaining independence.
@@andrewukadike3433 The British people set it all up like that. The number one satanic nation in the world, Britain is. May The Most High remember their sins and the sins of their ancestors and allow 100 folds of the evils they caused upon our people to fall back upon them too without mercy. Amen. This should be every Yoruba and Igbo man's and woman's prayers day and night.
"Igbos think that all Yorubas are loud" As an oyinbo who has spent a lot of time around Igbo people, I can't imagine how Yoruba people could be louder lol
I really enjoyed the video but I want to comment on the education issue. It is very unfortunate that in the contemporary Nigeria ,Igbo people are associated mainly with entrepreneurship, hard work and hustling. While all these are true, it is important to point out that there is more to the situation. Before the civil war, the Igbo are known more than anything else as scholars, highly educated intellectuals. I once read an article which claimed that just before the civil war the number of Igbo professionals were more than the rest of Africa put together. I’m not in a position to vouch for the accuracy of that report. The civil war changed all that dynamics. The Igbo foray into business is essential a survival adaptation mechanism. If there is a level play ground in Nigeria based on qualification and merit, you will see the Igbo excel in education again just like before the civil war.
Igbo people actually excel in education more than other ethnic groups in Nigeria. They have even surpassed the Yoruba a long time ago. So yes in business they are excelling due to civil war but they have also taken back their place in education
@@udob4939 100 % correct Igbos have the highest literacy rate in Nigeria, we produce the most University graduates and highest Jamb score requirements, thats why these things are called stereotypes they have some element of truths to them. The bottom line is treat everyone as an individual and do on to them as you would have them do onto you
@@godfreyunaka6938 I am not here to blatantly disagree with you, however, in Nigeria, Yorubas are known for one thing, education. The region with the highest number of professors is Yoruba. Whatsoever you want to do in life in Yoruba land, parents will always force you to go to school first no matter what. Thereafter, you can venture into any other thing that interests or pleases you later after your education. Igbos are known for business or entrepreneurship. Yoruba has the highest number of medical doctors in US. Every tribe in Nigeria has comparative advantage over another, be it Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba. Each of these tribes has a comparative advantage over the other in specific areas. Meanwhile, we are always better together and that is what makes Nigerian people great, apart from our crazy government!
@@adioolufemi1383 Yes we have the potential to be great as one Country, but as someone who was born in the same year we achieved independence I have seen a Country take 1 step forward and 2 step backwards for 60 plus years, the only time we are united is when Nigeria is playing in the African Nations or World Cup. You notice we put our first eleven on the field and do not question what tribe their from, but in everything else like governance we put our 3rd eleven. I am tired of Fulanis ruining Nigeria with their backward thinking, and i am very disappointed by the likes of MC Olumo during the recent Lagos elections, and the Lagos Speaker who wants Igbos to leave Lagos. So much for One Nigeria, and more Yorubas need to be counted by criticizing this ethnic jingoisim and Igbophobia. If we do not want One Nigeria, then lets peacefully break it up. For me if this theft of the Presidential election by the Drug baron President is allowed to stand then I am burning my Nigerian Passport and I will tell my kids to bury me here in the US
It's important to remember that not all observations about an individual apply to everyone, so it's crucial to be careful and avoid sounding uneducated or ignorant.
If you an Igbo man married to Yoruba girl that doesn't make you to be one country, some Nigerian married to UK that doesn't mean they're one country, divide Nigeria and let Yoruba and Igbo peace flow.
Before the Civil War, there were more Educated Igbos than the Yorubas, that was why the First Vice Chancellors of the Universities of Lagos and Ibadan were Igbos.
About loudness…. Yes, Yoruba is a very loud language by its nature…..like Spanish and Italian, it has a lot of vowels….so as a spoken language it is loud. When I went to Italy, I realized that Yoruba na child play, Italian is very loud, it is the language…..but it is not aggressive, the la gauge is tonal and vocal, that is why it is great for music.
Stereotype regarding Igbo people and not liking education is a lie. 1st Nigerian vice chancellor of university of Ibadan is Prof Kenneth Dike...an Igbo man. 1st Vice Chancellor of University of Lagos Prof Eni Njoku...an Igbo man. So what does that tell you? Many of the Igbo traders are graduates and those who are not often engaged in distance and part time education to upgrade as well. Like the guy mentioned the civil war and aftermath discimination also impacted in many people to move towards self employment rather than investing in higher education that may not necessarily offer white-collar jobs.
That's when Dr Azkiwe and Tafawa Balewa the first president and prime minister. There were many Yoruba professors around at that time. But due to tribal bigotry that happened anyway!
The appointment of Igbo vice chancellors to the University of Lagos and University of Lagos was imposed upon those colleges by the Hausa/Igbo government to spite the Yoruba who were in Opposition. That was such a shameful move by Azikiwe and his Hausa collaborators. Can you imagine that the universities in Northern Nigeria had Hausa vice chancellors, the universities in Igboland had Igbo vice chancellors, but the universities in Yorubaland had Igbo vice chancellors imposed on them due to the nasty politics being played.
@@ibiyimikaige4814 University of Lagos and University of Ibadan were (and still is) a federal government institution. The federal government had the prerogative to appoint whoever merited it. This is unlike other universities built by the Regional governments at the time namely: UNN (East), Ife (Western Region) and Zaria (Northern Region). You may have been misinformed but a bit of history of each of the universities and their ownership and governance in the 1960s could enlighten you and maybe clear some doubts. Thanks
One thing you all don't know is, after a bride price is paid the father takes out of the money any amount he can conveniently pay back just in case divorce arises in the future so when you marry from a poor family and pay like 10m for bride price, most wise fathers would most likely take 10k out of it return instantly the remaining 9.990m. However, this is the main reason why bride prices are ethically paid in cash
I see myself in the guy. Unfortunately I couldn't marry Yoruba girl because they always turn me down with Omo Ibo stuff. My helpers have always been from Hausa Fulani Yoruba and my nemesis na ndi Igbo. Love you guys keep it up.
It's the same with Yorubas saying that Igbo's helped them unlike their own Yoruba brothers who don't want them to succeed. One thing I know is that in life a friend will treat you right than your own brother will.
Me sef yoruba are igbos greatest enemies we can be laughing but yorubaman has a very bad thinking about you I hate them with passion They don't have sense at all me I cannot marry them oh even my children is forbidden from marrying yoruba person
Are you couple? ❤😂. Your topic remain me of early 90s when I came to Germany, Am igbo I had 3br. apartment and was sharing with a friend "yoruba" he later brought in newly arrived friend from naija. They love party, drinking and smoking is his friend's favorite.And when they are on a call " they are loud😮 or even talking but, that's why we Nigerian are unique in our own ways.A country of many nations 😂 up naija. I enjoyed this and have subscribed to your channel. Bride price in igbo land is a pride, not a market place. 😂
Igbo people are the second most educated tribe in Nigeria despite all we went through during the Civil war, plus the opportunity that was given to the Yorubas, Imagine loosing everything we had during the war and getting just £20 to start up life, Igbos are competing with Yorubas in terms of Education but Yoruba still are the most educated
Is a must for the ladies to barb their hair when their husband dies and wear white or black clothing for her mourning period be it 3, 6 or specific selected number of months according to which part of Igbo land the husband hails from
PLS KEEP IT COMING 💯 AS USUAL BECOS AM LOVING ❤️ IT I MEAN THIS CONVERSATION IS VERY VERY INTERESTING AND PLS LET US HAVE MORE OF THIS CONVERSATION ON YOUR NEXT TOPIC ABOUT THE TWO TRIBES REGARDLESS OF OUR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES?
Which tribe would make the better wife? I am curious as I have dated both Yoruba and Igbo (I am not Nigerian, I am white American of Eastern Europe descent... your conversation sounds like different countries of Europeans comparing each other)
Igbo men are hard-working people who know how to take on great responsibilities on many levels, especially in romantic relationships, they know how to fight like buffaloes. Yoruba men are sometimes lazy because in their country it is women who work hard to provide the household and it is the same in neighboring countries such as Benin 🇧🇯, Togo 🇹🇬, Ghana 🇬🇭 where most women are traders, it is in the blood
First I am so happy that you guys are a couple, The guy looks calm, and talks very intelligently. i love two of you. Yoruba don't collect high bride prices, so if the husband can't take care of the girl or maltreat her such as beating and molestation etc, Yoruba encourage her to leave, which may be why it looks easy for them to go.
In US we don't do bride price. We don't sell our daughters to the man. In fact the girl's family pays most of the wedding costs with the exception of the groom's and his attendants' attire and sometimes the bride's attendants' attire.

I'm a Caribbean man. Through out the conversation I'm just fantasizing about the female host... While you guys are talking about the difference and sterotypes. I will be satisfied with any one black sista from the mother land.
There may or may not be a small pocketful of semi-autonomous Igbo Muslims scattered across the northernmost periphery of Enugu State and the Igbo-speaking parts of Ebonyi but I’ve always kind of ascribed that to the middle-belt presence there. As far as people from that side of Igboland are concerned (including certain parts of Nsukka) you can’t be sure if they’re fully indigenously-Igbo or more along the order of 60% Igbo, 40% Tiv and/or Igala (and the middle-belt is obviously really rather Islamic).
these two are fantastic...lol, 🤣... if I may chime in, there are Igbo Muslims... the expression on Bisola's face when he threw it back at her about fetishes is EPIC!
That fight for land and property is mostly because Igbo culture has a way of making Igbo people want to belong and to be treated as they belong. So, whatever is his/her rite, he wants to be given it because he does not want to be counted out. We even have names that reflect those. On Igbo girls being promiscuous, I doubt that. Yes, they are into defined prostitution but Yoruba girls have sex without necessarily being prostitutes more than Igbo girls. Yoruba girls are more liberal with sex than Igbo girls. Unless the Igbo girl is a runs girl or a prostitute. Even runs girl fit no give you. We still talk about virginity at home. It is low but I feel it is more than how it is spoken about in Yoruba land.
I agree to the statement that cutting hair if they accused the wife of murdering their husband, yes it's compulsory in ancient days The Igbo are more into fetish rituals, in every igbo lands they have their gods, deity and ezemou the messengers to the deities.
Shut up you can lie, cutting of hairs no longer happen in Igno land and again claiming that Igbos are into rituals than Yorubas is just laughable , more than 35000 people has been slaughtered in South West for rituals in the past 20yrs . , there are Dane for ritualists everywhere.
What the lady’s trying to say is that Igbos, although Christian, are somewhat divided between hot mainline Pentecostalism (the most fervent denomination in contemporary Nigeria, or at least that’s how it’s perceived) and more “wishy-washy,” orthodox branches (especially Roman Catholicism, obviously). The Yorubas who aren’t Muslims tend to be born into a fervent R.C.C.G./Mountain-on-Fire/Deeper Life denomination by default and in as much as Igbos make significant numbers on those churches (like I said) they’re a bit more scattered and divided between churches like that and ‘non-born-again.’ Catholic ones. And on top of that stereotypical/average Igbo men (save for Delta Igbos) can be a bit lax with the whole church thing compared to your typical Yoruba Christian man (average - emphasis on the average - Igbo men who aren’t Deltan or from Abia State, even - tend to leave the more fervent worship to the women and just go to church out of social conventionality). She has got a point.
Yoruba people are mostly/majority Muslims than Christians. Even the Next election the President and vice president could both be "Mulsims" if they declared victorious.
@@Anonymous_Anon882 Do small research online. 1. Majority of Yoruba Oba/kings are Muslims. 2. Yoruba make up majority of southern Muslims. 3. Kwara is a Yoruba Muslim leaning state.
Of-course Yorubas make-up the majority of southern Muslims considering the only other non-northerners (not-inc. middle-belters) who dig Islam are a pocketful of Edos and an even-smaller handful of Uwani/Ebonyi Igbos. Kwara (which we all know is heavily-influenced by Nupe, Fulani and other more northerly ethnic-groups, and in-itself isn’t even more than 65% indigenously-Yoruba) is Muslim-leaning, mhm. Ekiti is overwhelmingly-Christian. What’s your point?
@Anonymous Anon No local government in Ebonyi is Muslim dominated. The largest Islamic school in Eastern nigeria is in Afikpo Ebonyi state, it attracts Muslim bank loans and a reputation of tolerance for Muslims. Majority of Muslims in Ebonyi state are not Igbo...even most of the ones who claim to be Igbo have non Igbo partners or married to a Muslim. One thing people like Mama Boko harm and Majority of Igbo Muslims like herself have in common is they can't show you their ancestral land/Father's house.
It depends on tradition oo! If I tell you my bride price eh you’ll laugh 🤣🤣🤣 My sister in law was 25 naira 🤣🤣 or so For some the main bride price is cheaper, the other thing a are unrealistic things though, for women men and youth!! Some traditions are outrageous I won’t lie, I’m from Anambra and even the “list” wasn’t even big cost wise.
Another stereotype is that Igbos like trading better than education. This is a lie. Most Igbo people like education and prefer corporate work rather than trading. They went into trading because of a lack of jobs. An Igbo man can do anything just to maintain his wife and children instead of walking the streets as area boys and girls.

Eternal salvation is for people that obey Jesus. Hebrews 5:9. It is not okay to sin. They [all the armies of the world] will try to kill Jesus again but he is immortal and will not die the second time. Separate the true Lord Jesus from the Roman catholic sunday system. No righteous Christian has killed or raped any body. Jesus is the only true God of love that shall return soon, but the other gods are false with hatred for mankind. Did Allah, Brahma, Buddha, Krishna, Yahweh, etc die for your salvation?
Yea I'm the exception

Yes, it’s called the sign off that’s very nice. I joined your channel. I like what you were talking about so I love to learn.
This is one of the interesting, accurate and purposeful program from my country youths. I wish such discussions could be held frequently between the three troubling tribes in Nigeria; Yoruba, Hausa and the Igbos who have been perpetually victimized by the first two groups. I am not from the west,north or east (the three troublers of our land), but not until these groups learn to stop lying against each other and accept realities Nigeria would suffer. Even self, they should allow and elect from the minoriry to rule the country and thinks would get better fast.
Don't spread the lies you aren't familiar with. The British started the problem from the getgo. The British pitched one tribe against the other when they deceptively annexed the three Tribes using a treaty signed with the Yoruba, the treaty which had nothing to do with annexing the people together. The British intensified the divide and conquer policy when the fight for independence started even after the independence. The politicians had been using the same strategy ever since as most them are European puppets. Anyway, the younger generation is changing things gradually.
It's not that Yoruba people can shout, we are just generally more passionate.
What a lovely couple! You can handle disagreements very well since you can listen to your partner and consider his/her view point. Wish you the best.
I'm an Igbo guy married to a yoruba lady and I thank God everyday for Her being in my life...
Thank you
Wow. That's nice. I've always liked the idea of intertribal unions. What was your greatest challenge in making it happen?
You didn't talk about the stereotype that all yoruba men are polygamous. Igbo generally believes that yoruba man can't keep a wife but multiple wives.
Youre doing a great job by enlightening us

@@blackwood1064 I spirit only, my friend. My father went to Ghana once to film a documentary and brought back an exchange cameraman from there. That was about 62 years ago in Toronto -and there weren’t very many black people in “Hogtown” back then, so it was a big thrill to meet this handsome, polite and interesting man from so far away in Africa (my mother was smitten! She still remembers that day-she’s 92 years old now!)
But now Toronto has a huge Caribbean diaspora and a very lively Carnival season, great food and music and costumes. But I have lived on the West Coast, five thousand kilometres west of my home city, for almost 50 years. Most of the black people here are from California and came up as conscientious objectors to the Vietnam War back in the early 70s (100,000 Americans moved to Canada back then, the largest single emigration in USA history). I live on a small Island off the east coast of Vancouver Island. There are about 1400 people here, only five black people, one born here, one in Toronto and three-my good friend’s wife and two daughters whom he met in Dominican Republic- are actually Haitian and very happy to be away from that place-but I met them the day they arrived: it had just snowed about 30 cm, they’d never seen snow before and it put Mama Ruth into a state of shock-until she went to Montreal to visit here sister (there’s a big Haitian community there because the language is French) and she realized a little snow here is almost tropical compared to Montreal which is veeeeeerrrrryyyy cold during their long, long winters with lots and lots of ice and snow. Plus she didn’t realize that although the days are very short here in winter, they are very long in summer when it’s nice and hot. Her girls are fine, though. They never lived in Haiti and don’t speak much Creole, rather their mother tongue is Spanish. Now they speak English perfectly-they both were top of their classes at school, even when they were just learning english-very, very smart, those girls! And now they have a baby brother, Carlo, born Canadian, who speaks only English. He’s my little buddy. His dad runs the local brewhouse so I see him a lot in the summer.
Our Island is a very friendly place, everyone is welcome, so if you’re ever in British Columbia, don’t forget to visit. Just ask for Scotty (or my wife, Frankie) -everybody knows everybody here.
Bye for now and all the best in 2024! XOX
The guy didn't do justice to the question about the literacy rate in Igboland. The guy said the impact of the civil way caused the lower literacy rate in Igboland after the war, but he failed to explain that today, there is no gap in literacy between the yorubas and the Igbos. Today, Imo State, which is an Igboland, has the highest literacy rate in Nigeria.
Yes, you are right. Imo has the highest literacy in Nigeria but it's so sad that they've the highest unemployed graduates🤦🤦. In terms of educational performance, Anambra seems to be unmatched in Nigeria particularly in SSCE, UTME & International exams & quiz

I’m sure you have not been to Imo state because if you do, you will know that most people living in Owerri and other parts of Imo are not from Imo state, meaning that most of these people added to the increase of unemployment you are not sure of.
Secondly most Imo graduates are gainfully employed home and abroad. They are not majorly traders like Anambra people.
Get off your high horse if you understand what I mean.
@@julesjay943 What's special about Imo, Imo was where I had my secondary education at Awo+Omamma, Oru East. And I'm saying according to report, I can't just cook up that story. I had to respond which was the same day I replied this comment because that time when the list of highest literacy states came up, Anambra was about 4th in a Facebook post & some Imo guy said that Anambra should be removed from the list, the same Imo state that was reported to have high unemployment rate, I became furious same way a lot of people reacted to his comment. Infact a Yoruba guy has to reply his comment saying that "why should they be removed from the list that he's even surprised that they're not first in the list"

I’m Trinidadian American but I’m very curious about the social politics between tribes in Nigeria and a lot of other countries in West Africa.
Ethnicity, religion and gender play important role in West African politics
It can get really complicated, especially between ethnicities and religions. There has to be a balance in power between all the tribes and religions or else things can get really tense. The entire Nigerian civil war was fought because the igbo's got annoyed about the Hausa's being given most of the power by the British after gaining independence.

Pride and prejudice, enthocentrisim and ignorance. I enjoyed you guys. Keep it up 🤠💞
I am in the states and I got my DNA and I am IGBO and Jewish. Although the video is 2 years I think you guys did great.
I really enjoyed the video but I want to comment on the education issue. It is very unfortunate that in the contemporary Nigeria ,Igbo people are associated mainly with entrepreneurship, hard work and hustling. While all these are true, it is important to point out that there is more to the situation. Before the civil war, the Igbo are known more than anything else as scholars, highly educated intellectuals. I once read an article which claimed that just before the civil war the number of Igbo professionals were more than the rest of Africa put together. I’m not in a position to vouch for the accuracy of that report. The civil war changed all that dynamics. The Igbo foray into business is essential a survival adaptation mechanism. If there is a level play ground in Nigeria based on qualification and merit, you will see the Igbo excel in education again just like before the civil war.
Igbo people actually excel in education more than other ethnic groups in Nigeria. They have even surpassed the Yoruba a long time ago. So yes in business they are excelling due to civil war but they have also taken back their place in education
@@udob4939 100 % correct Igbos have the highest literacy rate in Nigeria, we produce the most University graduates and highest Jamb score requirements, thats why these things are called stereotypes they have some element of truths to them. The bottom line is treat everyone as an individual and do on to them as you would have them do onto you
@@godfreyunaka6938 I am not here to blatantly disagree with you, however, in Nigeria, Yorubas are known for one thing, education. The region with the highest number of professors is Yoruba. Whatsoever you want to do in life in Yoruba land, parents will always force you to go to school first no matter what. Thereafter, you can venture into any other thing that interests or pleases you later after your education. Igbos are known for business or entrepreneurship. Yoruba has the highest number of medical doctors in US. Every tribe in Nigeria has comparative advantage over another, be it Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba. Each of these tribes has a comparative advantage over the other in specific areas. Meanwhile, we are always better together and that is what makes Nigerian people great, apart from our crazy government!
@@udob4939 I completely disagree with you when it comes to Yoruba. You can google it and find out for yourself.
@@adioolufemi1383 Yes we have the potential to be great as one Country, but as someone who was born in the same year we achieved independence I have seen a Country take 1 step forward and 2 step backwards for 60 plus years, the only time we are united is when Nigeria is playing in the African Nations or World Cup. You notice we put our first eleven on the field and do not question what tribe their from, but in everything else like governance we put our 3rd eleven. I am tired of Fulanis ruining Nigeria with their backward thinking, and i am very disappointed by the likes of MC Olumo during the recent Lagos elections, and the Lagos Speaker who wants Igbos to leave Lagos. So much for One Nigeria, and more Yorubas need to be counted by criticizing this ethnic jingoisim and Igbophobia. If we do not want One Nigeria, then lets peacefully break it up. For me if this theft of the Presidential election by the Drug baron President is allowed to stand then I am burning my Nigerian Passport and I will tell my kids to bury me here in the US
It's important to remember that not all observations about an individual apply to everyone, so it's crucial to be careful and avoid sounding uneducated or ignorant.

If you an Igbo man married to Yoruba girl that doesn't make you to be one country, some Nigerian married to UK that doesn't mean they're one country, divide Nigeria and let Yoruba and Igbo peace flow.
Before the Civil War, there were more Educated Igbos than the Yorubas, that was why the First Vice Chancellors of the Universities of Lagos and Ibadan were Igbos.
Your man is a titled red cap chief and young elder 😁. More content please 👏👏👏
About loudness…. Yes, Yoruba is a very loud language by its nature…..like Spanish and Italian, it has a lot of vowels….so as a spoken language it is loud. When I went to Italy, I realized that Yoruba na child play, Italian is very loud, it is the language…..but it is not aggressive, the la gauge is tonal and vocal, that is why it is great for music.
Stereotype regarding Igbo people and not liking education is a lie. 1st Nigerian vice chancellor of university of Ibadan is Prof Kenneth Dike...an Igbo man. 1st Vice Chancellor of University of Lagos Prof Eni Njoku...an Igbo man. So what does that tell you? Many of the Igbo traders are graduates and those who are not often engaged in distance and part time education to upgrade as well. Like the guy mentioned the civil war and aftermath discimination also impacted in many people to move towards self employment rather than investing in higher education that may not necessarily offer white-collar jobs.
That's when Dr Azkiwe and Tafawa Balewa the first president and prime minister. There were many Yoruba professors around at that time. But due to tribal bigotry that happened anyway!
The appointment of Igbo vice chancellors to the University of Lagos and University of Lagos was imposed upon those colleges by the Hausa/Igbo government to spite the Yoruba who were in Opposition. That was such a shameful move by Azikiwe and his Hausa collaborators. Can you imagine that the universities in Northern Nigeria had Hausa vice chancellors, the universities in Igboland had Igbo vice chancellors, but the universities in Yorubaland had Igbo vice chancellors imposed on them due to the nasty politics being played.
@@ibiyimikaige4814 University of Lagos and University of Ibadan were (and still is) a federal government institution. The federal government had the prerogative to appoint whoever merited it. This is unlike other universities built by the Regional governments at the time namely: UNN (East), Ife (Western Region) and Zaria (Northern Region). You may have been misinformed but a bit of history of each of the universities and their ownership and governance in the 1960s could enlighten you and maybe clear some doubts. Thanks
One thing you all don't know is, after a bride price is paid the father takes out of the money any amount he can conveniently pay back just in case divorce arises in the future so when you marry from a poor family and pay like 10m for bride price, most wise fathers would most likely take 10k out of it return instantly the remaining 9.990m. However, this is the main reason why bride prices are ethically paid in cash

Igbo men are hard-working people who know how to take on great responsibilities on many levels, especially in romantic relationships, they know how to fight like buffaloes. Yoruba men are sometimes lazy because in their country it is women who work hard to provide the household and it is the same in neighboring countries such as Benin 🇧🇯, Togo 🇹🇬, Ghana 🇬🇭 where most women are traders, it is in the blood
First I am so happy that you guys are a couple, The guy looks calm, and talks very intelligently. i love two of you. Yoruba don't collect high bride prices, so if the husband can't take care of the girl or maltreat her such as beating and molestation etc, Yoruba encourage her to leave, which may be why it looks easy for them to go.
Exactly. Yoruba dont let money tie their daughters down in a bad marriage

In US we don't do bride price. We don't sell our daughters to the man. In fact the girl's family pays most of the wedding costs with the exception of the groom's and his attendants' attire and sometimes the bride's attendants' attire.

It's the Ancient god of Iron in Yoruba land, just like we have Amadioha, the god of thunder and lightning in Igbo land
Bisola couldn’t even defend Yorubas... her personality is too given and accepting.
That fight for land and property is mostly because Igbo culture has a way of making Igbo people want to belong and to be treated as they belong. So, whatever is his/her rite, he wants to be given it because he does not want to be counted out. We even have names that reflect those.
On Igbo girls being promiscuous, I doubt that. Yes, they are into defined prostitution but Yoruba girls have sex without necessarily being prostitutes more than Igbo girls. Yoruba girls are more liberal with sex than Igbo girls. Unless the Igbo girl is a runs girl or a prostitute. Even runs girl fit no give you. We still talk about virginity at home. It is low but I feel it is more than how it is spoken about in Yoruba land.
I agree to the statement that cutting hair if they accused the wife of murdering their husband, yes it's compulsory in ancient days
The Igbo are more into fetish rituals, in every igbo lands they have their gods, deity and ezemou the messengers to the deities.
Shut up you can lie, cutting of hairs no longer happen in Igno land and again claiming that Igbos are into rituals than Yorubas is just laughable , more than 35000 people has been slaughtered in South West for rituals in the past 20yrs . , there are Dane for ritualists everywhere.
Luos also practised hair cutting to wife and children when the husband died
Even with Luos of Kenya women were to cut their hair when their husbands dies.
What the lady’s trying to say is that Igbos, although Christian, are somewhat divided between hot mainline Pentecostalism (the most fervent denomination in contemporary Nigeria, or at least that’s how it’s perceived) and more “wishy-washy,” orthodox branches (especially Roman Catholicism, obviously). The Yorubas who aren’t Muslims tend to be born into a fervent R.C.C.G./Mountain-on-Fire/Deeper Life denomination by default and in as much as Igbos make significant numbers on those churches (like I said) they’re a bit more scattered and divided between churches like that and ‘non-born-again.’ Catholic ones. And on top of that stereotypical/average Igbo men (save for Delta Igbos) can be a bit lax with the whole church thing compared to your typical Yoruba Christian man (average - emphasis on the average - Igbo men who aren’t Deltan or from Abia State, even - tend to leave the more fervent worship to the women and just go to church out of social conventionality). She has got a point.
Yoruba people are mostly/majority Muslims than Christians.
Even the Next election the President and vice president could both be "Mulsims" if they declared victorious.
@@nzeadidnazi8410 yeah, i don’t know about that.
@@Anonymous_Anon882 Do small research online.
1. Majority of Yoruba Oba/kings are Muslims.
2. Yoruba make up majority of southern Muslims.
3. Kwara is a Yoruba Muslim leaning state.
Of-course Yorubas make-up the majority of southern Muslims considering the only other non-northerners (not-inc. middle-belters) who dig Islam are a pocketful of Edos and an even-smaller handful of Uwani/Ebonyi Igbos.
Kwara (which we all know is heavily-influenced by Nupe, Fulani and other more northerly ethnic-groups, and in-itself isn’t even more than 65% indigenously-Yoruba) is Muslim-leaning, mhm. Ekiti is overwhelmingly-Christian. What’s your point?
@Anonymous Anon No local government in Ebonyi is Muslim dominated.
The largest Islamic school in Eastern nigeria is in Afikpo Ebonyi state, it attracts Muslim bank loans and a reputation of tolerance for Muslims.
Majority of Muslims in Ebonyi state are not Igbo...even most of the ones who claim to be Igbo have non Igbo partners or married to a Muslim.
One thing people like Mama Boko harm and Majority of Igbo Muslims like herself have in common is they can't show you their ancestral land/Father's house.
It depends on tradition oo!
If I tell you my bride price eh you’ll laugh 🤣🤣🤣
My sister in law was 25 naira 🤣🤣 or so
For some the main bride price is cheaper, the other thing a are unrealistic things though, for women men and youth!! Some traditions are outrageous I won’t lie, I’m from Anambra and even the “list” wasn’t even big cost wise.
Oh, now I understand. The main bride price is not what is expensive. It the other stuff for the village that is a lot. Thank you 😊
