A Nigerian politician and former Senior Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on New Media, Jack Obinyan on Saturday posted an anti-Yoruba comment on Facebook.
Some people in the comment section described the comment as an ethnic slur cast on the Yoruba ethnic nationality.
Obinyan is a supporter of the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi.
In a post on his Facebook page on Saturday, Obinyan said, “This is not about Tribalism but a mere statement of undisputable FACT: “Good or bad. Yorubas are the MOST Tribalistic in Nigeria.”
At the time of filing this report, the post has generated over 3,300 comments and 2,100 likes.
Some of the comments agreed with Obinyan while others vehemently disagreed with him.
One of those who disagreed with Obinyan is Dele Farotimi, a fellow supporter of Peter Obi.
One of those who disagreed with him is Dare Taiwo, who said, “That is why you all migrate to their region in droves. The Yoruba remain accommodating despite your corporate insolence against them. What many of you will not condone from other tribes in your States, the Yoruba condone it in the spirit of Omoluabi. When the Yoruba is pushed to the wall with your years of insolence and they tell you sternly to back off, you call them tribalistic.
“Sometimes, I wish the Yoruba are truly tribalistic. The nonsense they condone from many of you is annoying.”
Also, Gbenga Oladimeji wrote, “You have always been quite illogical that's why most people have never taken you or your words/actions serious.”
“As an Igbo man, This is a lie from the pit of hèll,” wrote Chinedu Kellys Ufondu.
Ejiro Etaghene wrote, “How many Yorubas are in your village the way your people freely live in Lagos and Ibadan?
“I am an Urhobo man. There are lots of Urhobo people living and farming freely in Yoruba land. Today an Urhobo man is a commissioner in Lagos state. Will your Obaseki appoint a non Edo commissioner? My friend go and sleep.”
However, Josiah Nwankwoala Nnabugwu, who agreed with Obinyan said, “Gbam..you are very correct.from my experience in living in the south west.”
Comrade Philip Barnabas, who also agreed with Obinyan, said, “Hundred percent 
correct! Every tribe has tribalistic elements. But yoruba own worse.”
