I love the igbo language.I actually Google some words/songs so I can freely use it.






That said, most igbos are tribalistic.Their daily show of shame on their RBL page proves theie disdain for other tribes.

YelloweWest:
Is monalisa chinda igbo?

She is not
She is ikwerre from Rivers state

so where is ikwerre,is it not igbo?her full name is chimamanda(whch means "God knws i wunt fall" in igbo)so wah're u sayin

Other tribes don't like money but they go out every morning insearch of money. They don't like money yet they still indulge in money rituals. They don't like money yet they pray to God to give them money. Keep deceiving yourselves. Proudly Igbo man! Please kill yourselfe if you don't like that

the earlier we discharged stereotypical notions about some tribes the better for us..deal with the person as an entity & not as person from a particular tribe

And Finally, not all igbos are IPOB!!!

one thing for sure is this..its rare to see other major tribes like the Yoruba or Hausa come up with a thread like this. igbos are too insecure.. and they claim they're the most hated tribe but they are the cause of it because of the hatred in them selves. they don't bother to see the so called stereotypes as a positive but rather as a negative.. shame

hemartins:
I'm not Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa.
I am Nigerian

Keep deceiving urself

You don't want being stereotyped but you dislike other tribes. Double standard. I don't dislike Igbo but marrying your women and doing business with you will never happen. Have lived with you, so I know your behaviours.

blackpanda:


Smh. You have now entered "ritual forests" and "lootocracy". My friend, go and sleep. You have nothing to say!

I clearly understand your predicament, just admit that you are so confused with the guys posts. Do even understand him at all?
You need a nap bro.

fulanimafia:
Really? But you want to hold fast to the stereotypes you hold for other tribes yeah?

Go and sleep.

I remember asking my Fulani friend if he was Circumcised, that I hear Northerners aren't. Dude just laughed, showed me his Joystick and patiently told me their boys get circumcised. I felt stupid ehen. Wonder who started that crazy rumour.

Hardeydapor:

Keep deceiving urself

No mind am, the only authentic identity for an African is his tribe.

endoski:

Ikwerre people hate to be called Igbo. They don't even like Igbo. I could remember when Tonto Dikeh dissed Igbo.

davodyguy:


They made people hate them cos of their own hatred

You mean the Osu system ?

urm lemme add one...they are always popular in Indonesia...I mean wait...oya mods ban me and let thunder arrange your yansh

I don't even believed in that rumour because most Fulanis are Muslims and as a Muslim you must circumcised your male child without delay

SirJeffry:
Tell them my dear, let them "ear" if they "ave" "hear".

this is very funny, i almost knocked off my cone-ead

Cherryf:
Hmmm u guys ar confused
apart from igbos tel me any gud tribe in dis country
is it d huasa dos dt don regad ppls lives or d yorubas dt hv phd in witchcraft u ppl shud b grateful to God for givn u Igbos if not dey wud hv sold dis country since..

And this makes sense? You guys are such great tribalists or is it just most NL Ibos that are this way, cos I know my ibo friends aren't this hateful and crazy. You call Yoruba cowards, slaves, all sort of names yet u expect the yorubas seeing these to love u. The most annoying part is u guys try to play the victim, the way NL ibos portray Ibos is seriously making me dislike ibos.

be honest

una Fvvck later,bah?

The most "stupidest" of them all is that Igbos dont like themselves....there is no place that Igbos find themselves and they fail to form a union, village meeting, town meeting etc. Always bonding. I dont understand that nonsense of Igbos not loving themselves.

5 Igbo Stereotypes Every Nigerian Must Drop


There are a handful of stereotypes that Africans hold against each other and this is not surprising due to the multi-cultural structure of our society. Nigeria has over 500 ethnic groups. Among the 500, about 9 languages are extinct while only three are -Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba- leading the pack, and each one of these tribal groups have their peculiarities.

The Igbos of Southeastern, Nigeria are one of the leading ethnic groups in the country. They can be found in Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo, and Abia. Despite these peculiarities, a handful of Nigerians have some misconceptions about this amazing ethnic group.
Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal identifies 5 stereotypes that Nigerians have about persons of Igbo extraction and offers facts that debunk them.


They know nothing but business

Let’s give it to the Igbos, when it comes to business, there is no contest. At major markets, they are dominant. In fact, in places where you do not imagine that you will find them, they are always there. But, there is more to this people than business. You find them in politics, literature, education, economy and other sectors. Late Nnamdi Azikiwe, was a businessman, first prime minister of Nigeria and a nationalist as well as a lawyer. The literary lord, the man of words and the author of the evergreen bookThings Fall Apart that made the world change their perception about African literature, late Chinua Achebe was not a businessman, same with Chiwetel Ejiofor, and also Chimamanda Adichie. The list is endless. Take it or leave it, no matter the field an Igbo Man ventures into, the business trait tails him.



All Igbo women are light skinned


There is no argument about Igbo women being light skinned but the stereotype is tagging all Igbo women light skinned which is not the case. There are chocolate, ebony, and dark skinned ladies among them. In addition, light skinned women are not restricted to Igbo women alone but it cut across all Nigerian tribes. When next you see a light skinned lady, do not make up your mind that she is Igbo!


They love ‘Ego‘ also known as ‘Money‘


Who does not love money? Money is desired by almost everyone in varying degrees. Many say you cannot date an Igbo girl if you do not have money but these preconceived notions are not entirely based on facts. Rather than singling out a particular ethnic group to castigate, this is a blanket perception for all ethnic groups. Same thing for the men. There should be no ethnic colouration when it comes to making money.



It’s expensive to marry an Igbo woman

Nigerian women are beautiful, expensive and sophisticated. A man should be happy to marry an Igbo woman because she is not cheap. A man should be proud to provide everything on the list presented to him by the parents to show that he is a ‘man’, however, there is always room for negotiation. So, the stereotype that before you marry an Igbo woman, you need to bring an arm and a leg only applies when the groom’s family are not masters at striking a good bargain.

All Igbos have left their villages for Lagos


Lagos is the melting pot for various ethnic groups and the commercial heartbeat of Nigeria as a result, the state is bound to be peopled by different tribes. However, expressing the thought that all Igbos have emptied their various states to reside in Lagos is laughable and wrong. There are individuals who run thriving businesses in these different south-eastern states that have never visited Lagos.



http://nigerianpilot.com/5-igbo-stereotypes-every-nigerian-must-drop/

op u ur self kno say some na true

The same people that discriminate among themselves. Calling some people OSU. Igbos discriminate to the extent that they hate Mbiase people of Imo state. You have created stereotype among yourselves and you expect non-Igbos to like you.

I have an Ikwerre friend she dislikes Igbo like shit. You people should change your behaviours. To me I don't hate you, but hating other tribes and you expect them to like you won't happen. Life is about GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out).

Na them carry Drug pass. I did a research about Drug trafficking in West Africa. Nigeria and Ghana took the lead in drug trade. Southern Nigerians in Nigeria took the lead, but Igbos are the number one from Southern part of Nigeria The author of article described them to worship money, love chieftaincy title, high expectations from their parents turned many of them to slave of money. Thank God the author of that article is an European.

Lol, a lot of southerners are misinformed about the people North of the Niger. Sadly, most are comfortable in their ignorance.

I like igbo people. Always have and always will.

The question is WHY?

Envy and jealousy.

Saladin25:

....Were you soundly rejected by Igbo women while you were in the East??..if thats the case,just take heart cos unfortunately other tribes love marrying Igbo women especially Yoruba men.Inspite of the so-called 'high bride price'...So your views about marrying Igbo women is an exception

...I was born in the North and grew up in Lagos,therefore i know so many terrible sterotypes too about hausa and Yoruba,but that has not stopped me from interacting with people based on their individual personalities.

....Proudly Igbo any day,any time..no shaking.

lepasharon:
Pls stop saying lagos is no man's land. It is disrespectful.

lagos originally belongs to the egun people. Not the yoruba
