In this scenario, it's not tribal hating but what the average igbo man does.


Before anyone misconstrues my points. In all houses I've lived in, I've conducted myself so peaceable and gentle that mu landlords even friends all looked for people from my tribe to get involved with. Why? Their experiences from dealing with me. Close to 4 friends got married to people from my tribe because of how how interconnected with me and how I impressed on them. Regardless of what happens in all the houses I lived in, nothing touches me. In the village I have projects setup, people love me from the entrance of the city into the interiors



My dear, tell igbos to stop the to hell attitude and work on building good relations with people. There are thousands of such stories above. It's not tribal hating, it's the igbotic attitude
You said a whole bunch of nonsense.
Linking a particular attitude to a whole tribe is stupidity and foolishness at its peak.

Yoruba or Hausa owned companies rarely employ Igbo. In the days I was addicted to reading newspapers l have discovered that the western Media don't usually have three or less Igbo employee unlike the Igbo Media companies,like The sun, that usually have Yorubas in the topmost position of the organization. I later did a research and found out that the situation is even worst in other sectors. This

But let's be honest Igbo people too get wahala too much.... The problem one Igbo man gave my landlord in my former house made that landlord stop renting house to Igbos... This is not about tribalism or something I think the company action to that was maybe because they had a bad experience with an employee..igbo people should learn how to comport and should learn how to relate well with other tribes..

guy it's like I know d company d op is talking about,I also had a very bitter experience with an Igbo guy n I am 100% sure the company never employ an Igbo staff till date.

We were like 7 guys posted to a neighbouring state from d company on a contract job of 7 months of which they are to provide accommodation for us with light,water n other conveniences.
we got to the site n they kept us in a face me I slap u with no light n water,we complained to our team leader n he told us everything is under control n negotiation that since they didn't provide conveniences as stated that we will b compensated.unknown to us that this guy have sent a report to head office that we have been well taken care of and he even went to the extent of snapping an hotel n sending it to d head office claiming it was our lodge.

we suffered throughout our stay n these Igbo team leader keep blocking all attempt to reach our head office, unknown to us that he has been heavily settled without paying us a dime.

After,the contract each if us wrote individual report n submitted it to the head office only for it to contradict what our Igbo team leader claimed.
A round table meeting was called and the guy was sacked n I remember d MD made a statement jokingly n I quote "it's like u Igbos need money than all of us ooo, maybe we should hold on for u b4 u sell all of us"......till now I learnt they haven't employed any Igbo till date.

I don't know what makes d Igbos think they are smarter than others n they need money than others

Just a thought, why would they subject your friend to several time consuming test and interview sessions only to tell him that: We won't employ you because you're from a certain tribe?

So, your friend never mentioned it during the preliminary stages which state he originates from? And a company who don't employ certain tribe didn't bother to ask their applicants' states of origin to save them all the hassle of completing several stages for several applicants?

Methink your friend blew it. Or you're not being sincere here.

When Amcon was newly set up. I passed the written test and was invited for the oral interview. I discovered at the oral interview that some went into a room that had a panel of 6 people. Those were the connected ones. That was the real interview. After I had sat for almost 4 hours, I was sent to a room where there were 2 of their staff who had just finished eating and had toothpick in their mouths. The first question i was asked was "are you igbo?". I said no. Then the man said my surname sounded like an igbo name. That was the end of the interview. No questions about education or work expérience. They simply said they would get back to me. That was almost 10years ago.

I got another federal job that same year without connection. Simply God-factor. He upturned every table of népotism and tribalism because that was where He wanted me to work. He took away their sleep and they had to send me a text at 6.00am Saturday morning to come pick-up my letter on a Saturday so i could résume on Monday.

I’ve had an experience, but I’ll like to start by saying something my father used to say( he’s late now)
The white Americans( whatever this means) don’t like black Americans (whatever this means)

Black Americans don’t like African Americans( immigrants)

Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo don’t like themselves
Igbo man from Anambra feels he’s superior to Igbo man from Abia
Man from Aba feels he’s superior to man from Umuahia
Man from Umuahia south feels he’s superior to man from Umuahia north
The red blood cells are always at war with the white blood cells

It’s in human nature to despise what he’s not.



A few years ago an agent sent me to work for one Igbo man at Idumota Lagos.

When he saw me first thing he asked was “ are you from anambra?” I said no

Where are you from?

Abia state

Ahhh you’re my brother oo

Kee kwanu? ( how are you?)

I’m fine

What part of Abia are you from?

Umuahia

Umuahia... people from umuahia are always too stubborn, I don’t really like people from umuahia. I’m from Aba but my wife is from umuahia but she is the only good person from that side. grin All the other people I’ve met from umuahia are always rebellious, but I will try you and see sad . The other useless boy that left this shop is from anambra, that boy nearly created another shop inside my shop. He was making more money for himself than he was making for me. grin shocked umuahia people... umuahia people... I hope you are humble oo, I don’t want a situation where I will shout for you now and you start fighting me. This is my shop oo





I wasn’t angry that the man said those things about Umuahia people. People are an embodiment of their experiences, so we should cut them some slack.
We should strive to be better people
Be an example wherever we are
My best working experiences has been with people of other tribes, but it’s an individual thing.

Person wey good, good.

You can go and die, nobody cares. Your opinion is irrelevant and full of bias and prejudices. The problem with you idiots is Igbophobia and inferiority complex. When you can't compete with the Igbo, you then resort to name calling and hating them. Go to hell with your worthless investment. See poor church rats claiming king of the underground world.
I hate this nonsense talks from you dumb heads. Who's competing with who? Igbo man no even dey top 10 richest men in Nigeria. You're just glorified traders leveraging on Yoruba ports for survival and aside super eagles and your igbo-speaking nollywood, tell me the industry the igbo come close to Yoruba.

You cause problems everywhere you go. You brought the hatred you have for Yoruba to Yoruba soil and expect a pat on the back? Most landlords in Lagos have made it clear not to give out their house to igbo thanks to past experiences. You need to address your characters very well, work on your attitude before jumping bus to Lagos. Not everyone kicks their parents with sliding tackle to wake them from bed like you do.

If you can't adapt with our ways of life, I don't know what you're still doing on our soil. Only few of you have manners and that could be because they've lived with us for long. Most of you relate with others the way you relates with yourselves in alaigbo and you expect us to embrace you. Nobody write letters to igbos to jump many south south states before entering southwest.

Do anyhow, you see anyhow. Ire oo

nonsense piece of shit. Not worth a reply.
Back to topic. Op...this is very normal with yorubas. I can bet about a thousand dollars that the company is a yoruba company. Did I lie? As an Igbo man, you must deal with yorubas with a very very very long spoon for your peace of mind. Watch what GTbank is doing to innosson.
Watch how they turned end SARS to an Igbo bashing movement. Remember how they turned Abiola's loss to an opportunity to loot Igbo businesses? Have you forgotten how they labeled GEJ an igbo man to rouse hate against him?
Be careful with them simple
Funny enough it is common among igbos and a close friend have experienced it...When she stepped in and saw that almost all the workers were speaking Igbo she knew she wasn’t going to be employed and it happened that way.

May our loved ones not be treated by a doctor who was hired because of tribe and not qualifications.

May we have leaders that are competent enough to lead, not based on tribe or sentiments.

May God give us the wisdom to know that there is no Supreme Court to appeal to, above him. Who can deliver us from the wrath/judgment of God?

We will all reap what we sow. It is better to be the oppressed than the oppressor because the oppressor can cry to God, but who shall save the oppressor from God?
