Understanding The Igbo Mind? by Seempliehuman(m): 1:29am On Aug 16, 2013 |
"It does not take a rocket scientist to recognize that Igbos want to be seen as a special breed of humanity; they would like you to tell them that they are God’s special creation and that they are superior to other people, superior to Hausas, Yorubas, Edos, indeed, superior to white folks, Asian folks, to all human beings. If you gratify that desire of theirs they feel okay but if they feel that you do not collude with them and see them as they want to be seen they feel angry at you; they would launch an unending war with you with the purpose of making you change your mind so that eventually you come to see them as they want to be seen: a special breed of humanity, a superior race of people. (One way some of them now seek specialness is to claim to be related to that other misguided group, Jews, who claim to be the special children of God. Igbos are not Jews; they are Africans; they are part of the Niger-Congo language group.) Igbos problems with their Nigerian neighbors are rooted in their struggle to be seen by their neighbors as a special people, as a superior people. They try to bamboozle people into accepting their exalted self- appraisal. If you allow yourself to be hoodwinked by them and see them as they want to be seen, go into cahoots with them and see them as special, they see you as friend but the moment you change your mind and see them as just ordinary human being (which they are) they see you as an enemy and start attacking you with their rusted swords and Igbo English."

The writer did well but he did not touch some important issues. I am glad people are beginning to see what they are supposed to see. |
