LOL. All these inter-tribal marriages have been taking place between Igbo women who have spent decades in Lagos and Abuja. So you want to tell me that the South East has run out of women for Igbo men to marry? 4 of my friends ( Igbo men ) who live and work in Lagos travelled home last year for their wedding to "Igbo women," same thing with Igbo men who live and work in the South east and get married to Igbo women.

It is normal for people to marry from their host communities just as Igbo women in Lagos are getting married to Yoruba men. During the Xenophobia attacks in South Africa, didn't you see the large number of Igbo men who had South African wives? Why didn't you complain about that one? Why are you always complaining Igbo Women? Do you know how many Igbo men who live in Europe have European wives? Why don't you complain about that?

U are wrong, their is nothing normal about the entire yoruba tribe chasing down Igbo women. Often impregnating them and turning dem to baby mama. In Secondary School, u have to check your daughter if her teacher is a yoruba man. u saw wat they did to CEEC, frodd did not do half of wat Tobi and Big Brother was doing to CEEC but they ordered him to move to a separate bed, even the girl esther was surprise and had to move to join him. Similarly u see the way Otedola dealt with Victor Anichebe, trying his best to link Cuppy to Anthony Joshua, but support his younger daughter relation with Mr Easy becos he is yoruba. It seems well calculated and planned, targeted at Igbo population. The excuse is Lagos.

Under normal circumstances, Igbos & Yorubas are a perfect match, and should be because, there are a lot of similarities.

My problem with this reality is that the Yorubas are Igbo people's political enemy (don't forget, they voted in Buhari cos of their hatred for Igbos) and had actually partook in genocide against Igbos. They never showed any remorse politically to Igbo people political plight in Nigeria or even for Southerners political solidarity. A little bit political alignment from them(like voting once not twice for an Igbo presidency like Igbos have voted for them on more than one occasions) could have gone a long way. Nigeria overall development could have been on the positive, with no security challenges like we have it today.

Any social/political scientist will tell you political alignment and harmony lead to inter ethnic marriages and not the other way around. No other African/Arabs tribes marry their political enemies like the Igbos.

If Globacom was an Igbo man company, it will be boycotted in the SW like they boycott IVM cars.

They even created a culture to criticize anybody that buys IVM in SW. Did u see wat Tunde Ednut said, wen IVM was gifted to Mercy in Big Brother?

Igbo will buy Dangote Cement and Adenuga Globacom but the other two, especially the yoruba in particular will do everything in their power to destroy IVM like they did Ibeto becos he is Igbo.

I need my people to wake up from their foolishness. It hurts me.

While everyone should condemn what Aba has become today, I know you are not originally from Abia. But if you are igbo then I pity you and your likes that go around insulting and bullying other Igbo clans and groups. Most of you don't know the damage you're causing to Igbo cohesion.

Today, we have igbo groups denying their roots and you pathetic fellows are yet to see we are loosing our igwe which is supposed to be our ike.
Keep taunting and bullying each other thinking you're preserving your state, it might be too late to discover that the ppl that wants to destroy igboland are using your foolies to their advantage.


See my Nnewi brother denying his ancestors.


I have said it that we should stop according these people any form of acceptability or credibility.


If they deny, we insist that they are Igbo and prove it to them, no need excluding them becos it makes us just as dumb as they are.


‘I Am Not Igbo’ Joe Igbokwe Denounce His Igbo Origin by LordGuru1: 4:42pm On Feb 18
Joe Igbokwe, the controversial spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state, has denounced his Igbo origin.

The APC spokesman who is known for criticizing the Igbos, mainly those in South-East, made the announcement even as the agitation for Biafra is ongoing in South-East and South-south.

According to HopeForNigeria, Igbokwe said: “I am not Igbo. I am a Nigerian and Lagos state commissioner nominee representing Ikorodu”.

Igbokwe had also on Monday, said during Channels Television program, that anyone who claims President Muhammadu Buhari is not doing well is a liar from hell.

“The PDP was there for 16 years and we didn’t see anything. In the midst of plenty, I cannot lay my hands on anything,” he said.

“Support your leader, don’t be a distraction. Anybody who tells you Buhari is not doing well is a liar from the pit of hell, given where we are coming from.”

Although Igbokwe admitted the nation is faced with myriads of challenges, he, however, said they cannot be fixed in a single day.

“If the president can solve all the problems of Nigeria in one day, they would have done it in the 60s. It’s a continuum,” he said.

“As the population is growing, the problem will continue to grow. As Nigeria is growing, the problem will continue to grow. So problems will never disappear from the face of the earth.”

If you study the incidents and challenges we are facing today, you would understand that this would never work as you cannot insist on what ppl must be .

This is the ultimate goal of the external forces fighting igbos from acquiring political power. They will easily tap on it as strategy.

If we don’t stop taunting and bullying each other, in igbo land, we may be breeding more jeo igbokwe's

My brother, if a black man comes to you and tells you that he is white.


Wat does it mean for you, to start referring to him as white?
Re: . by nlPoster: 8:51pm On Feb 20, 2020


Race is mostly a social construct.

In my opinion, whatever identity you are comfortable with, is ok unless proven otherwise.

@ bolded, is the reason one knows the Igbo man is irredeemably stupid. It is shocking that the average Igboman still copy what yoruba calls fashion or what should be trending. It is the same way some of our musicians try to copy Yoruba artists and our own people pay millions to watch shows by artists/musicians from other tribes than Igbo artists. Even when they speak total yoruba in their songs! The same people will call Zoro or Phyno local!!

It NEVER ceases to amaze me how my people boast in the markets about using all these peoples Yoruba products. If those companies were owned by Igbo, their copy copy of what Hausa or Yoruba are buying as being the standard for their lives will still make them buy what those people are buying. I have got tired of begging my Igbo brothers in the market to emulate yoruba and patronize industries located in Igboland

aba issue is sometimes blown out of proportion.

I know the city should do more but judging by Nigerian standards, the place is like an average nigerian city.
