Why Do They Fear The Igbo Man?
There are reasons many finds it difficult to understand Igbo people. Some people fears the Igbo. Not that Igbo people are bad people, yet they fear them. It was this same fear that made slave owners to stop buying Igbo slaves even when they know that Igbo people are intelligent and hard working. It was as a result of this fear that spurred Britain in to working against the Igbo interests in Nigeria. It was this fear that plays against Biafra in 1967-70. There is this fear about Biafra becoming another Japan in Africa. So many refused to support Biafra as a result of this fear.

The understanding of the Igbo towards life is different when compared to Fulani, Hausa and Yoruba. In Igbo land, no one wants to know your father. You hardly see people say, 'Do you know who my father is'. What your father owns is nothing when you are being rated. An Igbo man is rated not with his father's
achievements, but with what he is able to achieve. Respect isn't transferable from Father to son in Igbo land. You need to rise up and climb the ladder of success yourself. No one is accorded respect because of his father's achievements.

Achebe in his classical work 'Things Fall Apart' presented the character of Okonkwo, whose father is not only poor, but also lazy. Unoka, Okonkwo's father will always go to the Priestest to lay sacrifice to the gods, instead of going to work like a man. But Okonkwo rose up to achieve greatness, irrespective of whom his father was. He got riches and was welcomed to the table of elders. Ọ kwa Igbo si na Nwatakịrị kwọchaa aka, o soro Okenye rie nri.(When a child has washed he hands, he can eat with elders). While others will choose to respect and honor children's of their elites, the Igbo will rather give every one the same opportunity to climb the ladder of success or be forgotten.

Zik of Africa, Nnamdi Azikiwe was the greatest of them all in his time, but today no one hears about his sons. It is a competition for the Igbo people. Igbo don't create gods among themselves. That's why it is very difficult to create someone like Tinubu among the Igbo people. Why others have same reoccurring names in their regional politics, the Igbo keep changing leadership.
Igbo people can rally round someone without money and make him king simply because of his dedication and sincerity. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rose to power without drinking the dirty waters of Nigeria politics. He was never a governor, neither was he a Senator. But today, he is the most respected person in Igbo land. He got the greatest followership.

This culture or way of life of the Igbo encourages competition and the spirit of survival. A son of a poor man in Igbo land dreams of making it big in the future. A father that were able to learn machanic during his own time will deny himself a lot of things to make sure his son becomes a Doctor or a Lawyer. It was this spirit of the Igbo man that made them survive the war and recover within a short period of time. A lot have been said of single Igbo mothers that raised university graduates. Some of those that feared the Igbo accuse them of being domineering. One wonders how the Igbo is domineering when they are not invading peoples lands, or leading Nigeria. But a quick look at the resilience of
the Igbo tells it all.

An Igbo young man can travel to Lagos with nothing and yet become gradually rich. I have seen a Westerner who was trumpeting how Igbo business men engages in money rituals. It was actually an Igbo that went through Igbo apprenticeship system, got settled after 7 years of service to his master, started his own business, survived out of strict discipline, that were accused of money rituals. While his counterparts from other ethnic groups were enjoying parties, he sleeps in his shop, building his business. Soon he owns his own house, only to be accused of being domineering. Success they say attract envy. This is the crime of the Igbo. Succeeding where others failed.Igbo is never domineering. They are rather aggressively successful.

Empty chestbeating and this people self

Igbo have claass

The reason is obvious na. Igbo have class that is uncommon among African tribes and the whiteman feels that Igbo would repeat what Japan did to them. The Whiteman is a racial supremacist. Japan proved to the world that there is nothing outstanding about the whiteman's intellect. Until tomorrow, Europeans and Americans do not know how it happened. In Igbo, lies the potentials of a black race disproving that Africans are sub-humans with no capacity to govern themselves and no capacity to compete with the whiteman. That is why Igbo MUST NOT be allowed to replicate what Japan did. Africa must continue to be the source of raw materials feeding the whiteman's advancement and greed. That is why Britain, Russia, US and other powers would rather back Nigeria to suppress the only light Africa has. That is why Igbo must develop a strategy to show that we are the hope of black Africa.

An average Yoruba fear ibo man minus me and some Yoruba

They are afraid of igbos because they are weak and cowards

A Yoruba that can't defend his food is a coward!
A Yoruba that can't defend the honor of his woman is a coward!
A Yoruba that cant defend his culture is a coward!
A Yoruba that succumb to the pressure of other Nigerians is a coward!

When you are always using [b]tolerance as excuse and Nigerians still don't give a fuxk


It is no longer tolerance but cowardice[/b]

The average Igbo person you'll meet is tribalistic and usually intolerant of other ethnicities.

Forget all their travelling lies, they are only after their pockets and do not care about or respect their hosts.

Yorubas are still the largest and most prosperous ethnic group in Africa.. our culture and language are intact, studied and accepted worldwide. Go to Brazil, UK, US and other countries and see them celebrate Yoruba culture.

I just feel sorry for you Igbos who feel roaming about and leaving your region in droves is the best way. Igbo language is one of the endangered languages around the world now cos Igbos prefer to speak English, Yoruba, Chinese etc. over their native dialect, they don't even teach their kids the language.

An average Igbo is a crook. Always looking for ways to pull a fast one on you.


Maybe not all though.

tsdarkside:


yeah,Decipline....you igbos lack that completly....

Go learn English and spelling abegi...na discipline you keep spelling that way? See wetin hate dey make some of us do. Irrationality!

I consider Igbo the Jews ✡ of Africa. For a tribe their lives were stopped, pillaged, destroyed, killed for three gruesome years to have emerged to the top after 40yrs as the richest, most educated, less unemployed etc is no mean feat. Some other tribes would have filled up Africa begging for alms. Their ingenuity is exemplified by Innoson and coscharis whose highest education was primary school and today they are into very high tech vehicles manufacturing from selling vehicles spare parts in a 2x2 shops as some others mock Igbo. My take is that other tribes have ruled Nigeria without much success, let's vote Igbo person as a president come 2023,who knows Nigeria success can be unlocked through their success streaks.
