Nigerians especially Yoruba and Igbo are known to be very tribalistic (at least on nairaland). However, with the recent event that happened last week, I'm beginning to understand that we're not just tribalistic but hypocrites too.

How can an igbo judge (Ijeoma Njoku) convict a Yoruba man(Doyin okupe) for crime, and Igbos condemn it while Yorubas celebrate it?

Normally, the reverse has always been the case.

Can someone explain what led to this juxtaposition of commendation and condemnation?
