Prejudice & Bias, Natural Aspects Of Human Nature: Osinbajo Goes Down Memory Lan by References1: 7:14am On Apr 19, 2023
In 1989, I was about to get married and I was searching for a good house to rent. I met my landlord, an elderly lawyer who obviously did more real estate than legal practice.

He let me know that there were 3 categories of people he would not rent the property in his care to - Ijebus, Igbos and Lawyers. I was disqualified on two accounts. He then said to me, pointing behind him in a few shrivelled-up books on a small bookshelf, that he had the arsenal to destroy any tenant in court if I gave him any trouble.

He later, to his embarrassment, discovered that I was a Law teacher and adviser to the then Attorney General of the Federation and that of course, I am also Ijebu.

I share this to illustrate the point that prejudice and bias are natural aspects of human nature. Everyone has prejudices and preferences that are reinforced by stories and narratives.

This intelligent man was at a time called a Judas sometimes like this last year for trying to express his political interest.

A story of rag-to-riches is believed if told by a person who has "arrived" even if it's untrue and is laden with outlandish claims.

When I wanted to rent my first house in ijebu ode,

the caretaker of the first house I was taken to around Mabumi junction told me that he would not want a Christian in their house. So I left without looking back.

At another house, I was told point blankly that they only wanted married men in that compound. Again I ran four-forty.

It was at the third house that the woman, an old lady, told us that she would not accept any Igbo person in her house. But some how, she was the only one that I was moved to beg to allow me live in her house. After much begging, she asked if I was married, and I said no. She shouted; "Olorun ma je!".
Well las las she agreed to rent a room to me.

The funny thing is that I became her favorite tenant after living in her house for a year. And she began accepting Igbo people and single boys as tenants.

If you want to be loved, be lovely. Do not live in another man's house and be acting like the landlord, 'like your parts no dey market'.
Represent your people and your tribe well.
Be the good ambassador...

Igbos continue fooling yourselves.

Now they are openly suggesting prejudice and tribalism against you is purely NORMAL. Imagine.

If you don't recognize that Nigeria is not for you in this 2023, something is definitely wrong

This man is a leader
VP Yemi Osibanjo & HE Peter Obi are two people who ought to contest for the seat of the President. As a matter of fact one of them is supposed to be the President elect but then we choose to play the religious and tribalistic card.
Most times, I ask; do Nigerians really want a change?? I mean, do we really see the progress other African countries are making?
Our political choices has proven that we don't even want he best for ourselves talk more of our dear nation.
I hope the judiciary does the right thing this time around. God help us 🙏

Wow! Igbo people and Ijebu people don suffer for this Lagos. An average Lagosian envies the Ijebus and the Igbos because they are never found slacking. They succeed where others failed to succeed and people wonder how they did it.

Igbos giving you guys nightmares since time immemorial. I know that some of you tribal bigots must find a way to drag Igbos into this discourse to justify your bigotry.

And who some homeland elites, aka ethnic irredentists called a Mere Commissioner, in support of their then champion and co-traveller Bukola Saraki, with whom they laboured for PDP for 23 years. He was able to be governor and senate president, leaving the Wailing Wailers to hold the short end of the stick! They're yet to learn the lesson of their lives though!

In Sierra Leone, Mali & Burkina Faso, landlords asked point-blank if I was Igbo. They said they will NEVER rent to Igbos.

A friend was gisting me that even Igbo landlords hate to rent to their kinsmen, angry
If you fail to rent to Igbos, they will later buy the house and make you tenants. Those guys are unstoppable.

How did they buy most lands in Abuja despite the prejudice. They already bought most of Lagos and got the Yorubas shouting go back to your land. RESPECT to Igbos abeg
