I love the fact that she dressed African. She truly represented Ndi Igbo and Nigeria in general.

Soccrates:


Still doesn't change the fact that Yorubas are the greatest tribe from Nigeria leading in diaspora.

CondenseMilk:
This is what you get when you live in a country that has only one culture as such environment has a space for other cultures to exist.



As you can see here, she is serving an English mornach as an Igbo woman.



But here in Nigeria, they tell you unity in diversity, you must live together by force.

Odin13:

Igbos are like the jews, no doubt.

If she was in Nigeria, they won’t allow her come near because she is Igbo. It is generally acknowledged by Batists that Igbos are not Nigerian enough to take charge of anything! The worst of it all is that they don’t want Igbos to decide their own leaders!

I am always threatened in Nigeria just because I am Igbo.

It’s not like they prefer any ethnic group above the other, but it seems that Igbos have the highest middle class in Nigeria that are not dependent on government… so they do not care what happens when they speak out. (My opinion)

They truth is that, just like Nazis; the APC is using ethnic bigotry against the igbos to divert attention from their atrocities in governance. The-same way the Nazis used it against the Jews to cover up atrocities. Because most people will have emotional attachments to their pre modal sentiments.

My dear friends, Igbos are not your problems. Your problems are corruption and inefficiency, lack of transparency in public spending, policy summersault , etc

The result of these problems are… lack of primary healthcare, poor education standards, insecurity, food insecurity, inflation and bogus white elephant projects that have no bearing to lift the standards of living of the poor.

Before you come after me, remember that during the last elections, they’re more than enough evidence to show that Igbos were not allowed to vote in several places. These are facts. Ethnically motivated attacks were unleashed on them from so many quarters!

Majority of them attained the higher middle class doing shady things. Don’t let us talk about that.
