greateros:

I made the same observation to my friend yesterday.

Anoda dimension you fail to mention is that the igbos would av had the greatest number of graduates if not for the fact that an entire generation of UNN graduands and those before them were all massacred in a calculated genocide during the civil war.

The Igbos are truly a great race!

wily:wily:

Let face the truth, the brain of Yorubas and their partners in Looting Dirty Stinking Hausa/Fulani are full of Coconut water. Yeye people

@@@@@@@@@

u could say that again!!

let them know!

Blackteeth:

I don't belong to any of the three big tribes, so I can support or whip the arse of whichever of the big tribes I wish at any time. For now, let me go with the Igbos.
I think it's amazing that Inspite of the large number of Igbo children, women and young men who were massacred before and during the 3 year civil war, the Igbos are still standing shoulder high today. The yoruba and hausa lands weren't touched by the outbreak of hostilities; they were going about their daily business of schooling, eating, drinking, sex etc. So one should expect that these two big tribes should be more advanced than the Igbos by now, but this is not case. Rather they are still struggling with the Igbos for space and survival. Inspite of the loses the Igbos sustained, they are still making noise and shaking Nigeria, including overseas. Who knows whether they would have pocketed Nigeria by now if actually the weren't injured 40 years ago. Igbo kwenu!

Akhenaten:

Yes, the Igbo race is a special lot. After suffering so much, we have been able to bounce back and make incredible gains. However, all is not well with the Ndi Igbo. Many of our brothers and sisters who were Igbo prior to the war, have tried to create their own ethnicities.

And Igbo language is under threat of extinction, due to many Igbos believing that it is better to teach their children English. What a shame!

I am a proud Igbo man and will always be proud of my people. We have endured a lot, but we are still here.

Andre Uweh:

Some of those Igbo people who hitherto disclaimed Igbo are coming back to their senses. Am happy this is happening at the time when those parents who disclaimed Igbo are still alive.

@poster good observation igbo people are strong i can tell you that

but the same goes to jews, hausa, yorubas, ijaws, japanese people, rwanda, beroms etc

all this groups have faced either 1 type of war or genocid[/b]e, i think you should give them credit too for there bravery

Tippy Top:

I thought the Fed Govt at the time did everything to assimilate the "Igbos" back into Nigeria.
The Igbos got back the houses they built in other States. Some of them with money in their bank account before the war were able to withdraw their money after the war. Gowon had a policy of
"No Victor No vanguished".
Let's take everything into context because most secessionist movement know their people risk losing all e.g the Tamil people of Sri Lanka.
Nonetheless, only a fool would say the Igbos are not incredibly industrous.

dem_people:

I hope so. We need all the unity we could foster.


That's not the point. We're talking strictly within a Nigerian context here. BTW, the jews have been compensated continuously financially, among with other benefits,  since the end of the holocaust. What have Ndigbo been compensated with since the end of the war?

[size=14pt]I MUST come back as OnyeIgbo in my next life. [/size] For a people who were reduced to nothing but yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, have risen to the top in today's Nigeria and indeed the world, Chukwunna biko, still make me a part of these people when I come back in my next life.

Ibo people and delusions sha, talk about short man's syndrome. The fact that you people needlessly beat your chest to convince people about what your are obviously not means you have insecurity issues and you ain't s/hit.

ekt_bear:

The constant whining and pleas for attention are pretty annoying, but I guess understandable.

Insecure people are self promoting and constantly talk about themselves. They need validation from other people for their actions and qualities

An insecure person becomes overly selfish. He tries to surround himself with possessions, accolades and attention.


An insecure person becomes overly accommodating and tries to gain other people's approval.


Insecure people tend to be very defensive and cannot handle criticism. They are not comfortable with their own-self.  


Insecure people can't enjoy silence and they try to fill it with unnecessary chatter

Signs Of An Insecure Person

Our actions speak louder than words. This is something that I am a firm believer in. Igbos are progressing,

Makes one wonder what the Igbo can accomplish if they had their own nation
