What Do the Rest of Nigerians Think About the Ibos?

So if you want to say am an Igbo in your language, you would say ''Abum onye Ibo'' wonders will never end.

really funny

Well those who boast that Igbo people top the list of university intakes, and are taking over everything right before the eyes of others, and also have some money to make, should tell their friends to refrain from saying the Igbo are marginalised.

One cannot talk of educational achievements & monetary success in one breath, and then continue to chant marginalisation in that same breath. Doesn't make sense.

IGBO Girls
my friends are cool and Pretty
but u usually see a very pretty Igbo girl speaking like a trashcan.

IGBO Guys
they think money is everything
they love to marry educated women evn if they didnt finish primary sch.
they shouldnt evn come near me!
hate their frickn accent!!!

Hmmn, we are waiting for you to substantiate this statement with facts o, not hearsay! You claim that "There is no disputing the fact that a significant majority of the most powerful scholastic minds ever to come out of Africa happen to be of Igbo extraction." Lemme guess, in your view other ethnic groups probably didn't send any of their kids to school long enough for them to become scientific researchers or scholars?

Or you conducted a census on the number of scholars to have originated from each ethnic group, plotted the results into a Gant chart & arrived at this conclusion?? Wonders shall never cease!

There may be no drop of Igbo blood in your veins, but it sounds as if there just might be a hint of brainwashing, in your grey cells.

Alright, sorry about that, maybe 'racist' wasn't the right word, but the kind of hate or intolerance that fuels racism, rings through in your words. Should I have called your remarks  'bigoted,'   perhaps?

i wonder where you got the confidence to think that you can generalize pretty much anybody and everybody. in the other thread, you showed your digust with south africans (lyke they give a damn), and here, your off again breakin down groups and trying to display what i guess is you "knowledge" (for lack of better term of course) of what you think you know about Igbo people. you have your "qualms" with EVERYBODY!! it's probably why you claim to live on "an island". whether you like it or not, you will have to interact with others, no matter what negative atitude you wanna have. and i wanna ask you another question: what makes you think Igbo guys wanna come "next to you". what is it that's next to you? who the hell are you anyways? or maybe i should ask who do you THINK you are? looks like you have the type of mouth to yap shyt about probably every existing group in this world. just imagine, what do you think all these people have to say about YOU?

no worries, i never expected a narrow-minded thing like you to understand anything anyways so feel free to find someone with enough patients to break it down for you. besides, you probably decided not to comprehend me because i am a pretty Igbo girl, and you've concluded in your ignorant mind that i'll probably not be making sense.

lmao!!! maybe you feel that i DO know it all, hun, not even Einstein knew it all, but i accept the compliment.

lmao!!! well, i can't blame you anyways. not that you're worthy of explanation but my name does not reflect where i live and hun, i've never lived in an appartment. finance is not the topic of this thread but if you DO wanna go there, my family could probably put your ENTIRE family on payroll. but of course, i'm not gonna go there because like i said, that is not the subject of this thread. this IS the internet now aint it?

quite typical!!! people like you like to run their douche bag mouths and when put on the spot, they try to deviate from the point.

i'm sure where ever my pea brain is, it's functioning more than your microscopic one

see what i mean? you are narrow-minded and ignant!! stop making stupid inferences. because i "dey yankee" is not the reason why i can put your family on payroll. you've concluded again that i make my claims because i "dey yankee". i don't even know where ever the hell you "dey" before i made my statement. but YOU know where we both "dey" and for that reason concluded that i am superior to you economically.
not many people in america are capable of putting others on payroll, but that's besides the point anyways. don't feel inferior where ever you're living in. america is for everybody and anybody can come here and make something of themselves.
apparently, you are bad at making an arguement or trying to insult someone. you can only insult me on what you DO know about me. first, you tried to make me feel "bad" by telling me to get out of my cramped appartment. i've proven you wrong and shown you that that was a dumb shot to try and take for the fact that i've never lived in an appt. I, on the other hand make plausible arguments for the fact that i have prove for calling you narrow-minded and ignant, i've made my claims from the evidence you have provided me online and many can quite agree that you ARE ignant and narrow-minded. point is: learn to argue and insult before attempting and making yourself look like a damn fool!!!
everytime you speak, you make yourself look more foolish.
Abe Lincoln said that it's best to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubts. well, now i'm offering you this same advice.
ps: please consider my advice before attempting a rebuttle, or at least plan it well before humilating yourself ONLINE!! oh yeah, if you ARE going to respond to my post, try not to deviate from my mine point
BACK TO THE BLOODY TOPIC   

I'm from Okrika (Rivers State) and we really don't like Igbo ppl alot, but then I've noticed we really don't like most groups in Nigeria either and other ppl from my side agree with this too,  
I'm currently seeing an Igbo guy and sometimes when my mother calls she says some unpleasant things about igbo ppl and he hears her saying it, he might say "God punish you" under his breath but thats about all he can do 
Being someone from the south-south I've had it drilled into me all my life that igbo's stole our oil/money. _{I'm not going to argue on the validity of this.}  Overall i have no problems with Igbo ppl, we are all Nigerians!!

I spent some time in PH.
A lot of Okrika people speak Igbo,most of them have Igbo ancestors.Too bad for people to hate themselves.
Igbos are a strong and tenacious people.
na jealousy de kill all of them.

they can sell you, buy you, and sell you again, can sell their soul for money, 
at least that's what i heard and observed, 

You people have such issues.

What do you mean by "too bad for ppl to hate themselves?"  Okrika people are NOT ibo ppl.   We are Ijaw.  My auntie's exhusband is ibo and she speaks ibo.  I know some Okrika women married to yoruba men  and speak the language.  My point is I know alot of wakirike that speak other languages that doesnt make them our ancestors.
Alot of Ibo ppl when asked were are they from nowadays say "I'm from PH city." Im not sure when we became an ibo city.  Anyway the point i wanted to make was that your comment   _{Too bad for people to hate themselves. Igbos are a strong and tenacious people. na jealousy de kill all of them.}  Is not neccessary and its misguided, yes my ppl are a minority but the little culture we have is not based on any other group, it is OURS!! (we are not ibo!)

coming from okrika AKA second hand clothing,lol,honey you can keep your clothing I mean"culture"

@babyosisi
I have no intentions of making this ugly, anyways Im not here to fight/argue. Im proud of my ppl as you are of yours.  I replied to your last post because if anyone reading it would think wakirike ancestors are ibos, this is not true we are Ijaw.  
If the things ppl are saying in this thread against ibo ppl are making you angry, you should direct you anger that way, not at me, if you read my earliar post i have no qaulms with ibo ppl, i live in the ibo capital of the U.S.


As for your comments about Okrika, I went ahead and brushed my shoulders off, because they are just comments and i really dont need to say anything nasty about anyone from naija.
