A singaporean based in Dubai said he was surfing for a Nigerian website because he wanted to know more about Nigeria,since he intends coming to Nigeria and probably setting up some Eateries with his Nigerian friends.Lo and behold,he said he is a guest on Nairaland and often times,he logs in to the investment and politics section.
So we got discussing and he asked me what part of Nigeria am i from,I said South-East and he quickly said;you are an Igbo man and i answered in the affirmative.He said that he was almost meant to believe that Igbos are 80-85% total population of Nigeria.Since almost all Nigerians he has come across in his many travels around the world are Igbos.Infact that every other day he logs in to politics section on Nairaland,its always two or more thread on Igbos.
But that on wikipedia,Igbos population is put only about 25% of the entire Nigerian population.Then,he questioned;how was it possible that the Igbo ethnic group could make up for almost all the business men,professionals,entertainers and sports men and women of Nigerian descent he has come across. In his words,He said 'Igbos must be a phenomenon and an enigma,what a great people'.
At that point some other people came to join us at our table,we started discussing other things.
I learnt one thing from the encounter,that the more people discuss about the Igbos,the more popular we are and it becomes our selling point. 'Our detractors are our helpers',forward ever and backward never,we must as a people remain focus and make use of our cultural advantage of hardwork over others.
God bless us.

Ok

God bless my fatherland...
the land of the rising sun...
