Why The Inordinate Fear And Resentment Towards The Igbo By Nigerians by babasolution: 12:15pm On Jan 06, 2023
I still find it very odd why most Nigerian tribes,north- south,West and even middlebelt were am from have this inordinate and unwarranted fear and resentment towards the Igbo.

People prevent their daughters from marrying Igbo men

They accuse the Igbo of trying to take over their areas.

Granted I understand it may have something to do with the civil war but isn't that a foregone issue,there were mistakes on all sides and deaths and losses on all sides,the igbos even suffered more for it and lost more.
Many tribes joined the Fulani to fight the igbos despite the Igbo never doing anything to them.

However its a bygone issue and Nigeria as also helped them to recover by accomodating them in their areas and purchasing their goods.

What is then so bad about the Igbo?

Most other tribes are scared of an Igbo presidency saying they will attempt to secede which is laughable, you don't want them to secede and yet you don't want them to rule.

People want to make the Igbo region a tributary region.

Many tribes have this deep seated resentment and unwarranted fear of the Igbo.
People just accuse the Igbo of all sorts and it's strange.

I have lived among the igbos as a man from the middlebelt ,they aren't perfect and I have had issues with them but those are normal human relations issues.It's not peculiar with the igbos.
Igbos have been more easier for me to relate with than others especially southwesterners even though I speak Yoruba.

I have had more bitter and bad experiences with Yorubas and even with people from the middlebelt than have had with igbos.

Most middlebelt and southern tribes have had more terrible encounters with the Fulani and Hausa yet they accomodate them more than they accomodate igbos,if not that the igbos are strong willed they would have been made pariahs and outcast by Nigerians,but the Igbo wouldn't just back down.

All the bad traits that the people accuse the Igbo of also exist in other tribes,there's no evil the Igbo do that other tribes don't do too.

It's not a crime to even be arrogant and strong-willed like the igbos.

It's not a crime to be entrepreneurial like the Igbo

The Fulani are trying to take over other people's lands killing them with impunity yet they don't get as much hate as the igbos who have not done half as much

Says a Yoruba man


A Yoruba man will sit in his poverty hunger enclave to spread deep hate and bitterness towards igbos ..

Oga go north and south and see how they Que to marry igbos


Reason from east to south north to west

Igbos remains the majority tribe after indigenous people of the place .. yet none has woken up to fight igbos .. accross Nigeria


Do yoruba people leave their enclave talk more of seeing tribes that will give their daughter or sons yo a Yoruba human

Knowing tuface is not just a name but also identity
Knowing rituals and double speak is not just mere words .. but identity

Knowing dirtiness and uncleanlinesses is not just mere words .. but identity

Would you love to marry an inlaw .. you call green snake in green grass ?
Bayerebe to precise

Then why is it that Yoruba tribe will always hallucinate igbo hatred .. fathom in their oily brain and wish it on others to hate what thee hate

Is this normal?


Honestly I don’t support Obi..

But the truth is that Yoruba people are now overwhelmed by the love and acceptance Obi is recieving nation wide

From people same Yoruba media made us understand that they’re heavily hated accross Nigerian tribe

Surprising Yoruba god is on ballot .. yet Nigerians are daily mocking the foolish drug lord .. something Yoruba people feel say dem go get on platter based on their imaginary love by Nigerians


No worries

Yoruba we Nigerians all understand the pains and thrills

Enjoy.. tribalism

pls sirs with all due respect, i will request you respect the yoruba race and be specific when mentioning Yoruba.

IT IS ONLY THE AFONJA MOSLEM YARIBAS THAT HATES THE IGBOS!

The rest of the clean Yorubas doesn't have any hate for the Igbos.

PLEASE BE GUIDED AND BE SPECIFIC.

Thank you!

To all the morons who are mentioning Yoruba, are Yoruba the people chasing Ibos in Malaysia, South Africa, Thailand, China, India, Italy etc?
I watched a heartbreaking video on YouTube of an Italian man killing an Igbo man in broad day light. Strangulating him while some people stood by and recorded it. Some of the comments in the comments section were even more sad.
It didn't make the headlines in Nigeria and Nairaland moro. ns would rather come here with their usual hate and drivel.

You do anything to for money. If you go outside Nigeria Igbos are the najor reasons foreign countries are being strict on Nigerians due to how you look for me by any means. Are those in foreign countries in Nigeria? The reason why they are not comfortable with Nigerians due to your behavior is the reason some Nigerians are not comfortable with you.

Your brother Hushpuppi made Dubai to ban Nigerians because of his massive fraud, yet no one is complaining or blaming him or Yorubas.

Many south south minority tribes say they fear the Igbos because they would dominate them and take over their resources. At the same time, I see them crying that some tribes have taken over the same resources and developed their cities and abandoned them.. The ill feeling the middle belters had toward Igbos has however drastically reduced. Many of them have realized they were deceived to hate an innocent tribe. I have many friends from Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue and S. Kaduna who have shown remorse for the treatment they meted out to the Igbos especially during the war.. One of them told me how their dad called them together a certain morning to tell them to take Igbos as their brothers wherever they see them because they were deceived to fight them, saying they have now known the real enemies. So OP, as things unfold, the time is coming when almost all tribes would embrace the innocent hardworking Igbo

If you read history of Nigeria well, you'll understand why.. majority of the first coup plotters were Igbos, ironsi an Igbo too refused to prosecute them but didn't spare the Niger Deltans (Boro and his men) who wanted out citing injustice by the Igbos in the then Eastern region.
You know what it means to leave killers to continue living like kings in detention while you go full force on innocent men who didn't kill anyone at the time.

The constitution that took powers away from the regions was drafted by an Igbo man during Ironsi, thinking they would be the ones controlling the centre.. today the same man and his kinsmen are wailing over the constitution they drafted and forced on all Nigerians.

Should we even talk about this brazen attitude of arrogance and disrespect to other tribes? where they go about scheming on how to dominate others in their ancestral lands while they lock their region with padlock and chains against outsiders.
Some things are just common sense and majority of Nigerians are being careful

The last time I checked, this was the list of those on death row/beheaded for drugs and crimes in Saudi Arabia. The 23 of them all Yoruba's and Muslims. If you add all the Igbos apprehended in these countries you mentioned, they are not up to 20. You can fact check it.

The Fulani also do all you have alighted and worse,but people especially south south minority tribes do not hate the Fulani as much as they hate igbos,they even prefer Fulani to rule over them and steak their resources to the igbos ,their neighbours
