What do you think of this as a description for Igbo?

1. Very friendly
2. Very Smart [Others call it 419]
3. Can adapt to any situation [even hell]
4. Very sensitive [Obama Campaign fund Raising]
5. Always optimistic [Naija go better]
6. Hard working [Go to Lagos to confirm this]
7. Hate cheating [others call this arrogant]
8. As a Nigerian you must know how to praise yourself [others call this arrogant]
9. We don't care about what people say about us [others call this arrogant]
10. We always want to lead [others call this arrogant]

I found it on another threat related to 10 characteristics of nigerian, but someone said 'I think you meant 10 characteristics of an Igbo man'

I am from Geneva (Switzerland), but i am currently living in London. A Yoruba friend of mine told me that if I were nigerian, people will think I am Igbo. He said it because I am business oriented, but I am interested to know more about it.

Hi everyone!

I am not nigerian, but I have recently been compared to Igbo people, and I would like to know more about this ethnic group. In particular, I want to understand how Yoruba and Hausa perceive Igbo people and maybe also hoy Igbo people perceive themselves.

Thank you for your answers!
