One Hausa guy in my masters' degree class in the Europe asked me what benefit a masters' degree would be to my shop business. He wasn't joking, and he wasn't being malicious. That was his earnest belief. Igbo people are all shopkeepers. 2 Likes |

Withambition:Well I appreciate your advice on putting our house in order but I would like to point out another stereotype from your assertions. Igbos have regards for constituted authorities and I would like you to prove me wrong with facts. The kingship has been a tool of governance in Igboland till date. We elect people to lead in every corner of the world we find ourselves. That is why you hear things like Eze ndigbo in Lagos, Texas etc. Under Ojukwu's command, we fought the war to show you our level of fellowship. The peaceful demonstration of Nnamdi Kanu's arrest proved most people wrong. Some were saying that we can't close shops for protest. We still have governors that we only unseat by democratic process. Why do you think that this would change if we are to govern ourselves? An average Igbo man only hates any form of intimidation no matter where it is coming from. Now on your example of a student contesting in the east, I have a question for you. How many tribes have followed the Igbos in national integration by living in every corner of the country. I tell people that we act more Nigerian than any other tribe. We go to the west, live peacefully and build mansions there which is actually robbing us of economic growth in our region. How many yorubas have houses in Igboland. The stereotype has made them to believe that we are bad. Have you heard that Igbos killed a yoruba man before? Just look at Lagos for example and see how we have contributed to the growth of the state. I had a yoruba friend while I was in the university. He was even getting more love than majority of us. We are not violent in nature but we are always bold in fighting off any form of deliberate attack on us. 8 Likes |

"Igbos love money ". Okay. This then means that those that stereotype them don't love /need money. And it's only fools that don't know the value of money. "And a fool and his money are soon parted". So, Igbos, if you see any fools, collect all their money. 2 Likes |

godquality: What do we then say about a tribe that invented terrorism in Nigeria? And the ones that practice incense in their homes and are leading in ritualism? Are we to stereotype the whole two tribes based on the crime doers? Too many senseless and stupid Nigerians online tho! |

Hehehe. Funny comments all over. Lemme put down my opinion. 1. Igbos love money: I have been hearing that statement for quite a long time. I think it's because of their entrepreneurial spirit. Damn! Everyone likes money. So tell me The politicians that steal our money daily are all Ibos? You'd definitely see traces of other tribes among those thieves in high places. Most people crying "Ibos love money too much" can even agree to swin across the Mediterranean sea for money. We all have our ambitions. Not everyone wants to a 'shopkeeper' or 'boyboy'. Most of these guys doing such didn't have opportunity to go to school or for some, financial probs. Same way everyone hustles to make ends meet. Do you expect an illiterate to be the CEO of a company? Our bus conductors that scream "oshodi oke" every morning are also hustling for themselves. If you have a problem about that, give them a better job. Some of them are even educated, just that they are battling with one challenge or the other. Second. Hygiene is a personal decision. It is never a tribal decision. Your tribe can't tell you to be neat or dirty, can they? Associating unhygienic characters to a tribe is not an intelligent thing to do. Laziness brings about lack of hygiene. So stop crying "Yoruba girls are dirty" or "IBO girls are dirty" And ensure to evaluate yourself if your hygiene level is commendable before castigating anyone. Not all Igbo girls are fair. Perhaps a large number of them are fair in complexion hence the generalization. That's my opinion... Thank you. 2 Likes |
