Waoh! This is great. The igbos are good people

I have not seen any muslim woman from the north who is a popular writer

Note: Zainab Alkali was a Christian lady. She was Elizabeth Alkali from southern Borno, Borno State. A member of ECWA church but later converted to Islam.

If you know any northern woman who is a Muslim from birth and is a writer, let me know so that I can do research on her

All those criticising Nigerians won't see this oo, fact is for every bad press on Nigerians, there's a dozen more better ones.

Fact is Nigerians are one of the most successful people all over the world, 70% of black doctors in America are Nigerians, that's a fact, look it up.

Thumbs up to every Nigerian out there, making us proud.

Since this was something positive and they used the fake generic term "Nigerian" to describe the person,
I immediately knew the person was IGBO!.......and ofcourse I was right!

If this person had been Yoruba or Fulani, the title would have read, "Yoruba writer becomes New York's bestseller"
SHM!

...Lolzz... they just changed the title of the thread again to : "Ijeoma Oluo: so you wan talk about race?"
Silly tricks played by some Nigerians who hate Igbos, but want to benefit from Igbo hard work all the time.

Ijeoma Oluo has always set the records straight that she's Etche, not Igbo, lol. Don't force any Igbo identity on her against her wish. See her tweets saying she's Etche, not Igbo: Ijeoma Oluo

Thanks for the compliments. The Oluo’s are not Igbos. We are from Obibi, Etche in Rivers State. My sister is certainly not a Christian, she is an Atheist.

We also know for a fact that Muslims are awesome people and there are a lot of masterful scholarly works by Muslim authors.

Thank you again for your compliments, and make sure to love one another irrespective of tribe, religion and/or other social constructs.

Emelugi eme!

Please, delete this blasphemy because Ijeoma will be traumatised by it. That is, if you even know her.

Exactly! That's what I've been telling the Igbo tribalists on here that Ijeoma Oluo has always resisted being called Igbo. She says she's Etche, not Igbo. Ijeoma Oluo has always called herself Etche, not
Igbo. See some of her tweets: Ijeoma Oluo

If she has committed crime, you will trace her down to her origin, I hate snakes.

More like "if she commits crime, you will trace her down to her origin and regale us with d tale of she's NOT igbo, she's ikwerre/anioma/delta Igbo" etc. But since its a good thing, none of the tribal overlords care. Its " Igbo Amaka".
