Young man do me a favour. Before you sleep tonight, call your mother and sisters to a round table, look into their eyes and tell them "Otu nee gi ".... anoufia...

Any sensible igbo person out there should tell me the meaning of OTUMBA TUMBWO jare... maybe the spelling is not correct though... I heard it from my fav igbo actor chiwetalu agwu.....

so I tried to explain to you but you are now fighting

by the way Igbo language is not written in capital letters it's like you are not making any sense

The major problem fighting the igbo race is enormous but the major is complexity issue. Though they are hard working, beautiful and industrious but with all they still believe they are not measured up with society. This has led them into many crimes and social vices and also made them have mechanical pride and ego (seeing themselves better off even in foolishness).

The mechanical pride and ego had also created and made them artificial enemies to all other tribes, their kins men, neighbors, their family members and even to themselves. They want to oppress at all cost even at the detriment of their soul or life.

They easily form caucus any and everywhere with the sole of alienating others and the first to shout stigmatization, ostracisation and the rest.

They need to see beyond complexity and see others the way they want to be seen and take others as families and also ready to work with others.

What have you said here that your tribe isn't twice as guilty?

Re: Igbo Stereotypes Nigerians Are Tired Of Hearing by sorextee(m): 11:19pm On Jan 25, 2017
I seriously agree with u let's say 93%. In my place far north, there are so many Igbo's there, who were born and bred. They even behave more like Hausa's sef. Its just when they mention their name, that's wen u know they are Igbo's. I had this Igbo friend then, I.k. I just love their family. This guy look Hausa finish, dress like den, speak d language sef. When boko haram started their carnage in borno, their family refused to leave o. Saying they rather die than run away. Unlike one tribe like dat , na dem full luxurious buses, going to d west. cheesy among the three major tribes, Igbo's are d most hardworking. I respect and envy them for that. Unlike my fellow Hausa's. We are the laziest. We no like work, except to beg and wait for government allocation.

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 fouqght 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.

The Igbo boy selling gala on the street has a strong will to own gala factory. He puts his energy into whatever he believes in.

I no get problem with any tribe. We are all one Nigeria.
But sincerely, I feel more safe, if im away, and my gf is at home, with my igbo friend, than a yoruba friend. I honestly dont have yoruba frnds sef. I see most peeps say igbos always feel as if they re d wisest. That's a lie. Its yorubas that always feel that way, which they arent.
One time in skool, I had a yoruba frnd. He was quite close to a girl I was admiring. I told him to do the connect, which he did. Along d line, he started feeling jealous. Lng story short, he ended up snatching d girl from me. D girl is also yoruba. And other several betrayals ive gotten from yoruba FRIENDS. If u see a yoruba guy ND girl, calling their selves names like AUNTY MI, BRODA MI, SISTER MI, UNCLE MI, etc. If u do a background check, they re nacking each other.
moral of the whole story,
NEVER EnTRUST YOUR YORUBA FRIEND WITH UR GF wink

Moral of the lesson dude. You're one hell of a weak as.s

You dey shine a congo before, and your friend use swag snatched the puna wey you dey knack. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Haven't you heard the Okafor law of congo dynamics?

Yes Igbos are not violent by nature and Hausas that kill because of religion, do so as a form of mental illness caused by centuries of subversion under religion but as Igbos have input in Lagos, Yorubas also have in PH!, then in other SE cities, though they are small cities. In Lagos, the Chinese have bigger businesses and employ more than Igbos, Hausas too employ, you go to East, Yoruba employ. So why do you always mention Lagos? Eagle Cement PH was established by Yoruba man! Which company is like that by Igbos in the West? In Nigeria today, world reknown cities are Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, PH, Benin, Ogbomosho, Zaria, Maiduguri. Only PH is developed by Igbos, controlled by Igbos. Will you say Ogbomosho, Ibadan, Lagos were developed by Igbos? No! Igbos have input but minority input. Go to your SE, Yoruba have input there too!. So when the chips are down, you have control over only Ala Igbo and that is how it should be!. If you mix everything up, you have issues. Put your money more where you control but there is also advantage in spreading out. However, we dont have more Igbos in the West than Hausas, neither are Igbos making more money than Hausas in the West. Check it yourself but Igbos tend to lose themselves in the West more, they integrate more. That is the issue but Igbos should focus more on their land. Dont leave your land deserted! That is not wise! No city up to Ogbomosho in the East!. That to me is not right.

Igbos in the main buy things others make and sell at a profit. What about Hausas who do manual labor, who produce specific foods and control the market, Ebiras who farm, Urhobos who are specialists in palm oil? If all you do is trade, you are a weak link in the chain and can be easily replaced. No be by hustle my brother.
