I've visited most States in the federation. Nigerians of all tribes are nice and welcome visitors wholeheartedly. Most of those creating tribal division online and everywhere have their personal issues or are just catching cruise. Those who attended FGCs in the past enjoyed the bonding across board and have remained friends to date irrespective of tribe. People have lived together for ages in peace. 2023 elections will not end us.

The old national anthem says it all..."though tribes and tongues may differ, in brotherhood we stand."

Enjoy your stay but respect your hosts and don't go beyond your boundaries.

You met a good man.

004gist:


South Easterns (igbos) won't kill u or beat u even if u insulted their god, papa or mama.
don't mind anything u see on Internet about igbos. igbos are friendly and only mind their business.

But don't try to steal....else they roast u alive.

more also the sit at home.. every Monday... u can move out especially in the afternoon and evening . but morning just stay in the street.

no threat or whatsoever.

Exactly 😎

Igbo man take because of you run water in his house for you will not suffer stress. Isn't God too wonderful what did you pay with? "oh I use to love them but not any more"

This remind me of igbos no they build bridges the one wey we build never do? If your bridges are not good enough you guys too should build some to compliment it.


What's this one saying

Promicah:
I feel overwhelmed by what just happened.

A little background information: I lived and studied in Ogun precisely before my called-up letter came. I saw Abia in my call-up letter and the next thought that crowded my mind was the hatred projected during the just concluded election.

Since I had no connection, I chose my fate and had to skip my reporting date to camp. After losing every hope of redeployment, I decided to follow the next batch.

Our driver stopped in Lokoja and we rested before we continue the next day to Abia.

I had to make a plan that when I have money, I will buy their native wear to disguise myself. Immediately I stopped at the Abia park, I entered the next bus to the orientation camp.

After our three weeks in camp, I reported to my PPA.

Yesterday, I wanted to get a recharge card from a kiosk beside the road and I met an Igbo man. He looked at me and immediately fear gripped me.

He asked me whether I was new in the area, I wanted to lie and say "no". But my mouth betrayed me.

He smiled and bought the item in the attached picture below.

What happened to us? I had to repent. Truly Nigerians are loving people. I couldn't contain my joy.

This is my first time in the southeast and just this singular act from yesterday has changed a lot about how I see Nigerians.

I know there are a lot of agitations but yesterday a Nigerian showed kindness to a Nigerian. It's officially my 1 month and 15 days in Abia.

Sir Nlfpm.od. This is my latest experience.

Hit me up if your PPA is in Umuahia

I am from the SE but grew up in the SW and in the North..

I can comfortably tell you the Yorubas are the only tribe in Nigeria that will sit down in groups and say a lot of lies/evil things about the IGBOS....... When they gather together you will hear them saying "Awon heebo buru"

"wan buru gan"

"heebo buru"

And you believed one of those lies.... Reasons why you were scared....

Even when a Yoruba man visit the SE they act like SE is some sort of Afghanistan.... (Before UGM started messing things up)


Few days ago I was with a friend and I heard a child below 15 years saying it's an abomination to marry Igbos because igbos are wicked...

jmoore:
Abia is safer than Lagos.

If you allow the online propaganda to deceive you, na you sabi.

I know some Yoruba families in our street in Aba. Forget the online banters.

When did you hear a Yoruba man was attacked in southeast because he is Yoruba?

Aba is safer than Lagos with ugm, IPOB, esn, sit-at-home etc. Abeg make una take style dey lie

computer0810:
U will come back and tell us hw terrible dey r after ur 1 year service😂😂😂

Wait till u experience osu character

God forbid

OP just keep being real and respectful
Avoid Monday movements if it’s practicable over there , until the enemies of the East are fished out and decisively dealt with
Easterners are very proud, confident, enterprising good people

Ofemmanu1:


Tell us another thing.

Everybody knows agberoism is SE is too notch.

What will I gain? I told you my experience.

Why Yoruba too dey fear?
Among the three major tribes, I respect Igbos and Hausas alot, we can enter any part of Nigeria without shaking at all

Good, you have gone to develop the South East!

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
Bros op from ogun state to Lokoja then abia hmmm...bros op...brother op...bros op

Anyway Igbos are loving people ❤️ ❤️

As a Bini I love them to the moon and back

My aunty from my father's side( the sister to my father) is married to igbo man

My uncle from my mother side( one of the twin brother to my mother) is married to one imo woman

As a yoruba guy,From my personal interactions with Igbo too.They are very sweet!

All my Igbo boss are lovely!

The sweetest Nigerian language in my ears is Igbo.

I just wish we can return to true federalism so that we will not be having issues politically!

Na we we

The man is an Ibo man (Nigerian) not IPOB.
Becareful of IPOB, becareful you may for it back.

Nice story and experience. So let me use this opportunity to use that rave of the moment phrase....

May this your random acts of kindness experience favour me and my family

HBB1:
Good, you have gone to develop the South East!

Bros from Ogun going to Abia u will not pass through Lokoja. From Ogun to Ore to Benin to Asaba to Onitsha to Abia State

Zeezenho:


Just yesterday your sister and her son with a cherubim and seraphim pastor killed and eat a pregnant girl in lagos and were sentenced to death.they graduated from skull minding to eating fetus .

There is no evil vice west side dont champion.

EIyah... The truth hurts abi?

I am a northerner and a Muslim DUMMBBBOOOO

Instead of condemning the evil in the South East, you went defensive while those evil continue to grow.

I love yorubas too, but twice encounter I had with my Yoruba visa agent, who scammed me about four years ago and scammed my family on my brother's visa this year that runs in millions of naira , coupled with this nairaland tribal comments here changed my perspective about Yorubas, though I have Yoruba customers which I have been doing business for past years without issues.

Scamburster:

I swear.

Nairaland.com na just political cruise ooo.

When it comes to things like this, you call them Nigerians, but when it comes to election time, you see them as separate entities that don't deserve to lead the country. Until we all change our attitudes towards our fellow country men then this country will start becoming great.

I had the same mind set, when I first travelled down to Abia State for work. I have never regretted the decision to leave Lagos.
Abia to me, is my second home.
People here are welcoming. Abeg if you dey around Ukwa west, or your waka go reach there, make we link up.
I just hope this government will better the lots of His people.
But please note, anywhere you find yourself, no follow girl go him papa house.
You go get issue.

georgeakins:


That piece was written by an Ibo man.

Iboland is the unsafest place in Nigeria.

Please stay in your safe region.

You are sounding deranged!

What has his desire to marry an Igbo woman got to do with your curse?

How is he supposed to know if he has a drop of igbo blood in him. So if his great great grandmother was an Igbo then he will be cursed.

You must be sick

MTNnews:
Since you claim you are seeking Igbo blood may it never be well with you, your born n unborn generation if you have the tiniest blood of Igbo in you at this moment but if not may your wish become a reality n may you succeed with your generation born n unborn to the extent many will pray for your kind of success.

Ideally that is how it is supposed to be.

You never been to Any part of Igbo land before.
But you already had a disposition about them.
That's the real rot.


A lot of people like you already had this bad conclusions about the other tribes and regions based on hearsay and lies..
And this had formed a controlling factor for their decisions.

Sharpsharp00123:
sit at home n ugm is saying “hi”

What's this one saying??





Is it not a shame that some criminals and heartless-killers remained “Unknown” for two good years,, and we have security.??
And you're here making jokes with it??

Diligent1:

Nobody hate your people, but your people no dey control their mouth, den dey show say na dem wise pass.

Igbos will be busy doing their business...


You guys will come and assume something about them.
The next thing, you will say that they said that thing.


Like,,, don't Igbos pay rents?
Even if the own the properties,, didn't they pay the money that was supposed to be paid to own the properties??


So,, why provoking people who were already doing their own business quietly.??

So, you did not see their comments about Tinubu, yoruba people and what they say about Lagos State calling it a no man`s land.

Meanwhile, in 2017 on my way to Kano from akwa ibom state I lodged at a hotel in Aba and spent the night there. All what I saw was hate and discrimination. Beside majority of my fellow corpers that I served with in ikot ekpene (akwa ibom) are Igbo and my experience with them won't let me believe that we are going to blend in this country together.
Their attitude and behaviour towards me prompt me that these people have been fed with a bitter story about the north. So I distanced myself from them. Though not all of them are like that but 99% of nyamuris are brainwashed with civil war nonsense! They believe everyone is their enemy!
The south-south people are loving and fun to be with. I missed akwa ibom. But south-east? Hell no, I'm glad I wasn't deployed there!

Thank God your experience was different. For me it was harrowing. At Iddo Park the luxurious bus loaders stole my bag containing ALL my personal effects. Till date I don’t have a single picture of my professional qualification photographs. I had them all in the stolen bag!!!😭. To worsen matters no sooner did I get down from the luxurious bus at Aba than a man bumped into me as if accidentally. It was only moments later when I needed the money in my breast pocket did it dawn on me that the fellow who bumped into me also stole from me in a flash! That was my first contact with the Igbo. That was close to forty years ago!! I must also state that I met nice Igbo while there!
