Anti-Yoruba sentiment

Anti-Yoruba sentiment describes bigotry, hatred, discrimination and prejudice against the Yoruba people. This includes attack and comments ranging from "banter" to genocidal comments from figures like Nnamdi Kanu. Anti-Yoruba sentiment has been rife on social media, including sites Twitter and Nairaland. Some of the issues start from political discourse and anti ethnic supremacy, used as underhanded ways to push anti Yoruba sentiment. Claims that the Yorubas are "the most tribalistic" to rhetorics and propaganda of Yoruba supremacy are key elements of the attacks.

Anti-Yoruba sentiment has been particularly noted in Southern Nigeria, although it exists elsewhere.
