The moment the Yoruba prince inaugurated his fake agency and was caught, I just knew that an Igbo one would soon be discovered
And true to my expectation, an Igbo man was already running his own even with a more robust structure
The Igbo man, as usual, took his own too far, as according to reports, he even had reps in China and the US apart from coordinators in all states of the federation
I swear Nigeria would be a very good place if it was possible to berth a new country without these two ethnic groups
The way they compete in infamy and to our detriment needs to be studied
The Yorubas will first start the anomaly, and before you know it, Igbos will join and carry it to the next level and spoil it for everybody
Even in the positives, which are few and far in between, like Nollywood, for example the struggle for supremacy remians apparent.
The Yorubas have been doing their Baba Sala and Baba Mero and slapstick comedy on their own o
When Igbo enter the market through their Alaba marketers, the thing explode with them mass producing CDs and Tapes.
But this rivalry can better be mapped in the negative
From corruption to drug peddling down to even bleaching, it’s as if there is a morbid race to for leadership in vice between them.
We have just caught a Yoruba boy with the largest haul of illicit drugs at the airport; be seeing how the Igbos will soon do their own
Theirs will be a whole shipload cos they must be louder
Yoruba started spraying musicians with wads of cash, Igbos came with cartons and be pouring it and be calling it money na water
Internationally, Yorubas will discover somewhere and flood the place with both the good and bad and before you know it, Igbos will join and, in their characteristic manner , scatter the place and the next thing visa restrictions
US, UK, Canada and recently Dubai- where they have not only scattered the place but have introduced cultism
Now Igbos have set their sights on China after turning Brazil, Malaysia, Thailand into drug enclaves
Should we even mention South Africa, where those fools are beating them up and killing them for reasons that we see very clearly
Yoruba and Igbos, I dare say, are the death of this country; their rivalry continues to set us back even as it throws up some positives, but the negatives far outweighing the positives
We the rest of us continue to suffer from their activities with no recourse cos of our size
The northerners, with their insecurity, are just playing catch-up and just learning from the Igbos and Yorubas
Come and see what Igbos have turned Kidnapping into- a huge business enterprise
Igbos gave us Evans the kidnapper ramping up and putting structures into what the Yorubas have been practising for hundreds of years in their little ‘gbomo gbomo’ way
The Igbos came and built an industry around it and almost listed the kidnapping firms on the Stock Exchange before Evans was captured
Yorubas started bleaching, Igbos started importing the bleaching cream for them, and when demand exploded, Igbos went into mass local production
Now Yorubas have entered fake agency business with one office in Abuja; Igbos have opened offices in all states with international outreach
We, the rest of us, are tired of this Igbo-Yoruba crime rivalry – from credit card to forex to prostitution, advanced fee fraud, prostitution, ritual killing, cultism; the fight for control and leadership remains between these two
Then Igbos say they want to separate and go to their Biafra and threw up Nnamdi Kanu and then not to be outdone, the Yorubas threw up their own Sunday Igboho
And one is asking, who is even destroying the country that they want to separate from?
I laugh cos they will still carry their anyhowness with them when they go
Mbok, let them go so we tiny minorities can rest; we have suffered enough in their hands
We don tire; they can come and beat me if they like, i have said my own.
Thanks
Duke of Shomolu
