CultureRe: The Misconception About Igbo Bride Prices by portborn: 10:14am On Dec 09, 2020
nijabazaar:
One thing i could take away from my sojoirn of Nigeria is that the different regions dont seem to umderstand the way of the igbos, so they conjure up stereotypes.

I keep explaining certaining cultural nuances to my colleagues here in lagos. they tend to tar the igbos with same brush - in what they percieve to be the collective Nigerian culture.

Different regions for example, believe that since pidgin is spoken flently in their area, every igbo man they met must be fluent in it.
- every igbo man from 30 must be married. no its not.
- every igbo man is a spareparts or mechanic dealer
- every igbo man must like money
Same way the igbos see every hausa man as onye hausa
