HANDSOME: most igbo guys are very handsome.. . It's like being handsome is just part of dem.. U hardly see an ugly igbo guy and dey have height too...

HARDWORKING: I rarely see a lazy igbo guy... Almost all igbo guys are very hard working... It's true dey love money a lot dats y u see dem hustle around 247 to make money...

GREAT COOKS: igbo guys can cook for Africa... U hardly see an igbo guy dat can't cook... most of dem don't like the idea of eating outside so dey prefer cooking their own food and dey love eating like mad.. . My igbo brothers can confirm dat

WISE: Nna igbo niggas get sense ooo... U can hardly dupe dem... dey have business ideas and dey use their wisdom to create more wealth.. . Dey hardly spend unnecessarily... Instead dey spend on wat will bring more money and other things will follow...

FAMILY ORIENTED: Dey value their family eh... they like being close to their love ones including their extended families... that's y most of dem always travel to their villa during the holidays... Dey don't joke with that..

I have many other reasons why I love igbo guys but am too lazy to continue typing... you're free to add yours.. . Haters are also welcome to contribute

Phut:


You are welcome. What I find funny is that if people open a thread to appreciate themselves, there are always those ready to jump in and try to pull down. But if a negative thread were opened about Igbo's, those same people would FORGET to come in and preach how we shouldn't look at things through ethnic lenses. In fact they would positively revel at the "bad" news

Talking about hardworking and making money



In Nigeria of today, Yorubas still have more billionaires than igbos.


So you can't compare the money traders make to businessmen

alobright17:



For saying this sweet truth about us,Truth will never depart from your ways .
We Ibos rocks. Igbo kwenu

ourchoice:
No other tribe can come out of civil war and still bounce back stronger except Igbo.

Do you know that after the civil war ended in 1969, no matter how much an Igbo man had in Nigerian bank before the war, Nigerian government seized it and gave them only 10 shillings And still Igbos worked hard to become the most successful tribe in the whole Nigeria after such harsh economy policy made by late Awolowo.

No Igbo person has smelled the office of Nigeria president since 1966 yet these people are waxing stronger....no wonder other tribes are scared to see an Igbo man become Nigeria's president for fear of excessive Igbo progress I guess....Yorubas, Hausas and Fulanis dominate in Nigeria top civil service positions after the civil war due to federal government tilted policy favor against Igbo people, yet Igbos are succeeding more than other tribes....if you doubt, go and check MDGs global poverty report on Nigeria....google it.

Visit Igbo land....virtually all village is developed not by government but by individual successful Igbo people....but I served in Yoruba land, have visited virtually all Yoruba States and most communities and you will marvel at the level of poverty in most Yoruba states....Yorubas will abandon their village for Lagos, Ibadan, Ilorin and Abeokuta....will never go back to their village to help build good house and roads for their village people, instead they will run from their village to remain in cities and accusing their village people of doing juju, but that's where they came from and the same village didn't kill them when they were young and poor

Let me also remind you that if not for politics, most Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas answering billionaires today won't even be millionaires talk more of acquiring billions.

Adenuga's wealth has link to former head of state, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, Dangote's family has always been in politics and Dangote acts as front for most past and present Nigerian heads of state....they use him to hide and invest their stolen public funds.

Jumoh Ibrahim's wealth came after he worked for FG under IBB or so.

Florunso Alakija the richest black woman became rich after she made contact with IBB's wife...when she returned from UK as a fashion designer and started making clothes for IBB's wife and she later got a free share of IBB's oil bloc sharing...

Danjuma's wealth is stolen...he got it from government....from stealing Niger Delta crude oil blocs...same with Indimi family....Tinubu, etc....virtually all of them.

But most rich Igbo men have nothing to do with government, they are either traders, importers, internation businessmen (though some are into drug peddling but not all), etc....but you can hardly mention a Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba billionaire without a connection with federal government favor or contract....so my brother, its God's doing...respect the Igbos...give them kudos for that....they also have their flaws, but when it comes to making money, Igbos are like Jews and Chinese people rolled in one being, respect them, they are too good, too hardworking and too creative!

Iv always been crushing on eastern dude but na only yoruba guys dey come with their cheating..wetin man go do?

Halimi25:
IgboMen are handsome

I don't think u have seen the short,bearded,beer-guzzling,pot-bellied igbo pygmies infesting d geography of ngr.
Igbomen who look like 'flavor' are a rarity


IgboMen are hardworking&wise

How are they hardworking??is selling lacasera&gala hardworking??or is it mixing petrol with palm oil to sell to unsuspecting buyers??Igbomen are wise??How?All I know about igbomen is that they are criminally inclined.Go to the crime section,read punch&vanguard newspapers&read about their criminal tales both home&abroad.Meeting a decent one is a rarirty

IgboMen are family oriented

How?is it by having 43 children from 8 different women??
I have seen many igbomen who dress like rockstars with lots of girlfriends but whose wife and children wear rags&are starving.
Next time,keep ur lies to urself homegirl

Not hatin' just statin'

oliviacute:
am not Igbo....but I concur with all u said......Igbo guyx are hardworking,they don't cheat...they value their family lyk a precious egg......they r xo handsome wiv beautiful eyes goxhhhhh.....God x wonderful.... I agree with u op....xo on point.....

STILESGANG:
So only yoruba men cheat?Abi how many yoruba men have you dated for you to make this statement?

christopher123:

She must have said it out of experience... How many Igbo men have you seen marrying two wives..in my whole village I haven't seen anybody marrying two wives ..can you say that in your village ...yes Igbo men might cheat which is normal but their wives reamins number one

STILESGANG:
Yoruba men also cheat and their wives remain no one.Majority of polgamous yorubas are muslims and that's because their religion supports it

djgrafiti:
I have noticed that whenever any post like this, is made on dis forum,it is usually ibo and yoruba fighting,have never seen Hausa,or other tribe fighting Ibos,just wondering if their progenitors had something against each other that was unsettled.

ivyT:



lyk seriously,do u xpect us to all of this..

samsam2019:
you took all this time to put put this gibberish?



Ok I get it. Your people are the most successful in Nigeria? No wonder you leave your successful land to waste your prime years slaving in Yorubaland.



And the civil war rendered your people poor? Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha





You can lie to yourself but not people with common sense. How many of your people had money kn the bank then? I mean how big were banks then to stash your money to the point where you all starved to death?



Keep fooling yourself eh



The most successful tribe people that comes to Ibadan to sell gala or push drugs?



The most successful people that when I got to Ghana and visited their prison and they were so many in Ghanaian prison so much I had to drop money for them



Keep fooling yourself oo

christopher123:


Igbo are not fighting Yoruba

A lady came to appreciate Igbo and the lady is non Igbo
Now they came with their madness to cause trouble

The world knows what the lady is saying is true but jealousy and hate won't let people stomach that

ourchoice:
I remember one day like that in 2011, Wazobia radio Lagos did a phone poll asking Nigerian women to call and tell them which tribe in Nigeria have the most caring men.

I felt so proud to be Igbo that day

More than 70% of the women that called said Igbo, giving virtually the same reasons LadyJul gave here except the handsome part.


Including Hausa and Yoruba women that called said Igbo men are the best; no wonder other tribes' men gather to bully Igbo men and to burn down their businesses at any slight national political disagreement.

So I wonder y people are arguing this here, truth can't be hidden & u can't stop the sun from shining

The only points I didn't agree totally are:

1. Handsomeness because all tribes have handsome and ugly men

2. Good cooks because my Calabar guys carry first for that one o
