Igbo people were ahead in commerce, education and government. No wonder the yaribas were jealous. Look at how educated, cultured and sophisticated these women were.
The yariba false ibadan express news has been dismantled.
All their false narratives have been exposed.
This is an Igbo Ụmụada meeting in 1960. Listen to the quality of conversation, adoring their Ichafu headgear. Can your own Gele Yoruba Ronu tribe show me yours as far back as 1960? Culture vultures.

That’s not even lowkey. I asked a full-blooded Ibo friend last week where she’d choose if Nigeria separated and she had the chance. She unapologetically said the Southwest. Asked why, she said she’s lived all her life in Lagos, already speaks Yoruba, and “kini mo fe lo se ni ile Ibo?”
You are an usurper,deceitful, shady, treacherous, cheating and double-dealing bastard.
I grew up in igboland and never heard the word gele until the advent of social media. Our mothers call it AKISI OR ICHAFU. You think everything revolves around yariba. FUCTARD LOWLIFE.
To my "enlightened and detribalised" Yorùbá friends who almost always accuse me of "contributing to heating up tribal tensions" because of my post of support for my Yorùbáness, to the Yorùbás in corporate environment especially the Csuite Yorùbás who because of "brand alignment" and "corporate image" subsume their cultural identity for a homogeneous identity! I'll say my piece about this and let posterity be the judge.
One of you even advised an investor to withdraw from engagement with me because I am "divisive" and will only use their monies for tribal interests.
Yes Ọ̀gá they shareed your report.Painful but not detterd.
I believe that Yorùbáland and the NW holds the key for my dominance and expansion.
Yorùbáland provides corporate & capital. Yorùbáland (specifically Lagos) is virtually mandatory. It is the gatekeeper to Nigeria's financial system.
The NW provides mass market & volume relevance. The NW (centered around Kano) is indispensable. It possesses the highest population density and contains the largest trading networks distributing goods across Northern Nigeria and into Sahelian Africa.
The North brutally faught to control their identity and markets after the ibos took them for 1diots and dominated them in the 50's.
I am fighting for Yorùbáland now before it escalates to the 1966/67 levels.
I know a number of you sitting in banks that have been sidelined by one Obinna or Chekube and overlooked many times over. Yet you smile like the arìndìs that you are and suck up to them. Bonuses goes to them for work that you did, promotions fly over your head, you get vilified. One by one all the Yorùbás around you are sacked, or resign out of frustration.
You know yourselves. Ọ̀jọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ n bọ̀. A ṣì ma pè yín kò tí kàn yín.
What you are witnessing in the corporate world is what this is.
When a cultural hallmark like the Gèlè is adopted, renamed, and exhibited by the Ibos, it triggers several specific socio-economic effects. I will outline just two.
1. Economic Substitution and Market Capture. The most direct economic effect is the redirection of revenue. Ówànbẹ̀ industry is massive. By rebranding the Gèlè as "Ichafu", Ibo stylists and makeup artists can market this specific, lucrative skill directly to their own ethnic demographic. This captures market share and revenue that might historically have gone to Yorùbá artisans or been credited to Yorùbá cultural styling.
The same way they bypass you and replace you in that place where you wear suit and tie and do monthly appraisals. They use their network to relagte you without a shred of innovation.
I digress.
2. Decoupling of Cultural Capital. The Yoruba Gèlè is a major piece of cultural capital that has heavily influenced global Black fashion. When the ibos exhibits this exact style under a different name, it strips the Yorùbá innovators of the cultural prestige and soft power that comes with international recognition.
Economically, this drives a homogenization of the Nigerian beauty and fashion industry. Instead of diverse, distinct traditional styles competing in the marketplace, a single aesthetic (the Yorùbá Gèlè) becomes the pan-Nigerian standard, just slapped with different regional labels depending on who is selling it.
Ultimately, this represents a scenario where the economic benefits of Yorùbá innovation are being actively localized and monetized by the Ibos, while the social credit is simultaneously being overwritten.
I have written plenty English because that's what you like to speak. You all know how much I don't like speaking it around you but this is serious.
Àbọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ làá ni sọ fún ọmọlúàbí...
I know you will pretend you can't read this and feel irritated and call it "razz". I hear it each time we hang out and I refuse to speak in English.
I am fighting for what's mine the best way I can before we learn from the north. It is inevitable.
A tribe whose name whose name was imposed on them by outsiiders.
Yariba.
When nnamdi azikiwe was fighting for african independence. Your fathers were busy minning skull.
A tribe where there is a gazzette of their ancestors working around naked 65+ years ago claiming something with historical backing is just insane. You guys have neuro and mental disorders
