THIS IS NOT A TRIBALISM THREAD. PLEASE CARRY YOUR TRIBALISM TO OTHER THREADS, LETS BE POSITIVE FOR ONCE.

I was watching the WWC between Nigeria and Canada yesterday. Atleast about half, if not more than that are Igbos. The same goes for the national football team, the Super Eagles and several sporting events. Even the woman of the natch is Igbo, she practically saved the day.

Them again I began a soul searching, like what would Nigeria have been like if Igbos were not part of us. Perhaps like Togo, Chad or even Niger?

Except politics and agriculture or farming. Igbos dominate everywhere else. From sports, to academics (leading in both Jamb and WAEC), socially, they hold their own in Nollywood, businesses and industries, Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba lead. Housing, they own them across Nigeria.

The first Olympic gold medalist, Çhioma Ajumwa is Igbo. We celebrate the likes of JJ Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo, etc. I was on a microsoftteams call recently where a foreigner was eulogising JJ Okacha after I introduced myself a Nigerian.
I was in Nairobi once and I went to an art store, when I introduced myself as a Nigerian, the store owner took me to one corner and asked "all those things (fetish acts) by Pete Edozie are they real"? And I asked do you watch Nollywood films, and he said, they relish it in Kenya and started mentioningactors and actressesthat I do not even know. Same applies to many other African countries.

In business, travel and enterprise, you go to Alaba, computer villages, Trade fare complex, Ladipo spare parts market, in Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Benin, all over Nigeria, they are there. In fact someone said, anywhere you do not see an Igboman, know that humans cannot inhabit there.

Talk of entertainment, they are there. Talk of international representation, Igbos lead.

In finance, Igbos have their strong showing with the likes of Jim Ovia, Elumelu and others who pioneered the new generations. Our Amazon of inestimable value, Mrs Okonjo-Iweala is Igbo.
Late Dora Akuyinli of blessed memory was Igbo.
In literature, we had the likes of Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Chimamanda Adichie, just to mentionba few.

Also, I imagine that Igbos could rebuild their nation and overtake some of us after their cities were turned to riuns after the civil war. Not many people can açhieve this. Their apprenticeship program is studied in many MBA classes.

Please, let us celebrate the Igbos. This is not to deride other tribes, we will find other occasions to celebrate them, but for once, let us celebrate a people who impact us positively.

Yes, every tribe and even families have their dark horses, but let's put those aside and celebrate the good.

Thank my dear Igbos of Nigeria, you are a blessing to Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Nigerians.

When last have Igbo's celebrated others?

Mcheeeeeew.

I just wish Jagaban can partition this country and let the chest beater go.

Don't you have something worthwhile to do with your time OP.

"We have learned to fly in the air like a bird and swim in the sea like a fish, but we have not yet learned the simple art of living together (as humans)" ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Birds do not attend flight schools, fishes do not attend swimming classes, those two dominate their spaces. Humans with all their faculties cannot live together, because of:
- Tribes/races
- Religions
- Insecurities (inferiority complex)

Na this chest beating dey always dey vex us. Why do you have to spoil your nice write up this ? I no go talk sha.

Do you celebrate others,won't they be deriding instead. Had it been another tribe dominating the national teams,they would scream nepotism and be typing other nonsense.
How much is it affecting our lives,does it grant us special visa status? You know what's really affecting us... The Visa bans we're getting as a result of their criminalistic tendencies worldwide.

So, of all you read, only that part was important to you? Then, you read with a "fault-finding" perception. Please, free your mind of tribal, religious, ethnic complexes. You will see the good in the write-up.

You guys still fool yourselves about being best educationally using your miracle centre WAEC results and dubiously upgraded JAMB results as yardstick?

If he does not do that then not only is he a problem of Nigeria and the blackrace but a coward too

Stop seeking for irrelevant sympathy. You guys are just full of inferior complex. Get heal soon and stop chest beating.

Maybe you should also talk to your brave National assembly members to move the motion.

Southern Cameroon did not move any motion to leave Nigeria, Southern Sudan did not move any motion to leave Sudan, Eritrea did not move a motion to leave Ethiopia. Ukraine did not move a motion to leave soviet union
Nigeria should do the needful and stop wasting other nationalities time

So do you mean Sudan just wake up and asked the Southern Sudan to leave?

He will rather die than do that .
Igbo is your oxygen if na lie divide the country.

Yet we see your foolish tribesmen insulting every other tribe on Nigeria fit the past 8 years. From Hausa Fulani Kanuri Ikwerre Yoruba to Gabonese Arabs Malays Singaporean Arabs Malays Singaporean Chinese Cambodians South Africans who do you foolish souls not insult
