What do the rest of Nigerians think about the Ibos (Igbos to others), and on the same lines what do the Ibos think about the rest of Nigerians. It will be fascinating to know.

I think the Ibos are the most progressive tribe in Nigeria. Business, sports, you name it! It's only in politics that they disgrace themselves because they have no unity! I like the way they look.

You're welcome, sweetnini.
What's the difference between "Igbo" and "Ibo"? Which one is the correct spelling?
Seun.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the people from accross the Niger (from Delta State) ie Asaba, Isielukwu and such are the Ibos and the Ones from the East are Igbos!
On the upside, the rest of Nigeria thinks the Igbos are Intelligent, Enterprising, Beautiful and Hardworking people, and on the downside they also think they'll do anything for money. I have heard a saying that goes, if you want to know that an igbo man is truly dead, put a bank note underneath his nostril. if he doesn't stir, that means he's truly dead!
No offense y'all, I truly love the nna bros, infact, my best friend is Igbo but I just want to say it as i see it! Igbokwenu!

I think that the Igbos are enterprising, its a shame that non-igbos tend to assign stereotypical characteristic of the money hungry jew to the igbos. It might be naive to think that just because we all have the same skin color that we are united, but I can't help but see the similarities between each tribe as oppose to our differences. Pan africanism ideal may seem like a crack pipe dream but if we don't start working together we could have another biafra in our hands in no time.

I personally like the Igbo people. they are slick and goal driving. Business minded and at the same time you cant tell if an Igbo man is rich or poor. they are not flamboyant like my Yoruba or Hausa people.

what do i think about igbo people, well first off, the whole stereotype is overated. but i do know that we are goal driven, serious minded and we are always looking for ways to better ourselves. the only negative aspect i can give to igbo is that they are very greedy which is probably why we can never do politics. other than that, igbo's are allright. they set goals for themselves and work hard on achieving that goal.

not all of them. that's just a stereotype. lots of them are nice though. but some of them (a lot of them) are indeed Greedy!!! and like the idea of "me, myself and I" tis tis tis. . especially w/ that biafra thing.

We are talking about most of them. Of course not all of them are like that. BUt when you hear "IGBO" the first thing u think is.. "business people/greed".

they also say "na money" a lot. "my uncle (chief blah blah) brrrrring me from village come lagos come wolk for him business" did you hear that guy's song. i don't remember his name the one someone was talking about on gennevieve's thread. that says he'll do 419. that makes hilarious songs.

Nkem owo (osuofia).. 419 is just a game. He'll chop your money. Typical igbo man.

*dies*... 500-499. Good enough!! I'm watching 'my name is earl'. Nne i go talk to you later, make i finish watching this thing. Conversation between igbo man and friend. Igbo man: *counting his money* Friend: nna how now, Igbo man: 20, 30, 40, 50, fifty ooo, fifty. friend: So how about tomoro party now Igbo man: seventy oo, seventy. friend: na hin be say, u no dey go. Igbo man: hundled oo hundled.. Nkem, how many tires are coming tomoro. Nkem: Oga na 500 Igbo man: that means i'll get four thousand naila tomolo. Friend: E be like say u no hear wetin i dey talk Igbo man: My brother na four thousand naila oo.  I made that up. They r also good in mathematics. Especially when they are calculating money. When they get to that "interest rate" topic in maths, Igbo people are always good at it.!
