Emmanuel Iwuayanwu: Where are the Rascals?

You know we like to be fooling ourselves in this country. We will be seeing the truth and we will be doing like crayfish. Is it today that Yoruba people and Igbo people don’t like themselves? Is it today that Igbo people have been calling Yoruba people rascals? Just enter Oyingbo spare parts market and see the way Igbo people will be yabbing Yoruba people. The words used pass this Iwuayanwu own o. Same with Yoruba people, if you enter the Iddo market, you will be hearing words like – yamiri, aje okuta ma mu omi and omo kobo kobo. The Igbos will return with their own. By the way, we Ibibio people call Yoruba people – atar uduang ku ufok. Kai.

See my people, Igbo and Yoruba matter na to stay clear. They don’t like themselves but cannot do without each other. They are in a loveless marriage. They will be fighting ‘kunkunu’ fight but love themselves o. The rascals. Oya, say all Igbo should go, you will see Yoruba people begging them not to go ooo. If they go who will be selling bleaching cream to Yoruba girls, who will be selling spare parts to Yoruba people and who will be running all the chemists that they used to go and buy drugs for STD? Oya another one. Everybody knows that it is Yoruba people that used to get pile because of their penchant for stew and pepper. So, if you go to Ajegunle, a fully ‘Igbotic’ jungle, you will see that most of the herbalists who advertise a cure for pile are Igbos. So you see, this Yoruba and Igbo matter na like marriage. Make we all just stay clear. And yes, whether Iwuayanwu said it or not, I am saying it now that Yoruba people are rascals and Igbos are bigger rascals. Just enter any beer parlour in Lagos on a Friday and you will see rascality with no
