The Igbo Is Like The US. True Or False? by AfricaUnited: 5:26pm On Mar 07, 2021
As quoted from Facebook.

"The Igbo is like the US. True or False?

The Igbo of Nigeria epitomize the trite saying "the best, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly".

This past week an Igbo woman became the first woman in the world and first African of any gender to head the World Trade Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Two other Igbo women won significant awards, one as doctor of the year in Maryland USA, and the other as "central banker" of the year by the Central Bank of Ireland. Those are the best and the good.

The bad and downright ugly side of things are that one Igbo man was within this past week sentenced to death in Vietnam for drug trafficking and two in Ghana for kidnapping and murder.

As an Igbo myself I have often compared the Igbo to the US, because the US also represents the best, but also some of the ugliest things in the world today. For example, the US gave us the internet and Facebook. But the police there can press your neck and murder you in broad daylight.

Some other groups in Nigeria produce no good news; others produce no news at all; and others produce only bad news. But how could a people, the Igbo, so vaccilate between two such opposite extremes? The best and the downright ugly?

That said, I am curious to see which path an Igbo-only country (example, Biafra) will chart among "the best", "the good", "the bad" and "the downright ugly". Will Biafra be a force for good or for bad, or will it continue to be the "US of West Africa"? If anything, it will surely be an interesting and eventful country, full of all sorts. God bless the Igbo."

The downright ugly for sure. All sentiment removed, Igbos in general don't like themselves. Imo don't like Anambra, Enugu don't like Ebony. The question is who will be the first president. well, that's where the downfall will begin. Igbos have a saying. in Igbo land there's no king.

When Michael Okpara became premier in Igboland, did any Igbo man fight him?

When Zik became president, did any Igbo man stop him?

When Alex Ekwueme contested for VP and ruled for 4 years , did any Igbo person speak bad about him?

When Peter Obi won the ticket to be VP candidate, didn't all Igbos vote for him?

When Nnamdi Kanu was detained by the zoo, didn't all Igbos fight for him?

All Igbos that went to school were sponsored by other Igbos.

All Igbos in business were sponsored by other Igbos after apprenticeship.






Which tribe in this world can beat this record? grin

You people and this your propaganda. Una no dey tire?
So it is people that their governor denied their displaced people in Benin Republic that love themselves?
It is the people that chased away their Oba in Lagos that love themselves?
Is it the people that broke bottle on the head of their Oba in Osun that love themselves?
Is it the people that their monarchs Alaafin and Ooni never spoke for 200 years that love themselves?
Is it the people that just concluded Ife and modakeke war that love themselves?
Is it now people that are bombing themselves in North East and kidnapping themselves back to back that love themselves?
Oga stop the propaganda we can see through it. You only wish for it to be true

The Devils will have it, there is a class of Igbo you failed to mention, the Devils, this class are people like Kaduna Nzeogwu, Achuzie, Nnamdi Kanu, Chinua Achebe, Azikiwe Note that Ojukwu Was not a devil, he was a child destined for greatness. these sets of Igbos are desperate in their love for Igbos abd can go to any length, they are usually a nightmare whenever they were found.

The above crap from the figment of imagination that can only emanate from anus instead of brain. What a delusional hater. The good is not for sure but downright ugly. You can get your freaking sentiment to bare unclothedness, you cannot read Igbo person.

It appears that igbo don't like themselves but in reality they like themselves. They are republican . Every man to himself. But in fighting igbo course, their unity is remarkable.
This explain why Britons could not defeat igbo nation during military conquest of major tribes in Colonial Nigeria. Calabar, Benin, ijebu, Ilorin, and Sokoto were defeated by british army at different times. Igbos were defeated through subtle mean- conversion to christianity.

Useless and bastard nyamiris comparing themselves to USA, this is the biggest joke of the year.

At least, the Igbo peeps have temerity to compare themselves with citizens of the God's own country, USA. There are drones all over Nigeria that cannot even think pass ewude and amala, some stagnated at cow's urine and dung and few balance the day with ogogoro. Why people are busy chasing the skirt.

I don't know how you people in SW see your governors, we in SE see them as stooges of the caliphate. They don't do anything without orders from the caliphate. They are lost sheep and we don't cry over it. It is normal in life for a human being to sell his people out but what matters is the majority. We are making a statement and taking stand for the future of our children

Are you okay? Who told you those arrested in Ghana are Igbo's? And you claim to be Igbo but you can't identify Igbo or Igbo names when you see one.

One of the person arrested in Ghana is either from Akwa Ibom or Cross river while the other Oji is either from Benue or Ikwerre or any other part of SS Benue Answer name similar to Igbo Names like Oji Vs Orji (Igbo) Adah Vs Ada (Igbo)

Ikwerre on the other hand due to their Igbo denial remove or add a letter to their name to distinguish their identity Umu (Igbo) Vs Rumu (R added) Nwike (Igbo) Vs Wike (N removed)

So educate yourself and modify your thread. Before I change it for you now..

If by any chance you had a brain as in a functional one, you would have corrected the OP on Facebook instead of posting it here (as is) on nairaland to continue with the misinformation. It's not your fault though, nairaland is the junkyard of the internet space and its people like you that have made that possible and retained NL at the No.1 spot for junk post. Olodo Rabata.
