That's what we called absolute advantage and nobody has ever called it marginalization, but other sector we all calls for quota system.

Thank you for celebrating the igbos... very interesting to see evidence n reason why they should be celebrated.. Because they dominate in every aspect they find themselves....
For the molete crew that finds nothing good to say despite they live by shouting tale to edubrasil and shinonso omo iyami... we wish you well...

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.

Igbos don't need anyone to celebrate them

you created a thread saying it's not for tribalism but yet the whole write up was full of self praise while making other tribes look less and you are expecting them to keep quiet, you even went as far as involving other countries, just to pass your message, later we will start screaming foreigners are treating us bad!

and back to the sport aspect, you wonder why the super eagles are thrash and the falcons not performing well?? probably because it's being dominated by your people
the music industry, boxing, tech, business sector (not buying and selling), nollywood where nigeria is doing well, can we say it's due to the low representation of your people?
even the elite nigerian footballers abroad playing for other countries, majority are sw(not being tribal tho)..the likes of saka, adeyemi, alaba, jamal musiala, manuel akanji..how would the super eagles have been if represented by these people?

so just calm down with your jabs

The world most hated tribe is what you're celebrating?

Na ment or malaria?


Op, the symptoms has now passed two days, you need to see a psychiatrist.
Re: Nigerians, Let's Celebrate The Igbos ... Atleast For Once by onumadu: 10:47pm On Jul 21, 2023
The funny thing is that in the entire history of Nigeria, Ndigbo have never really asked for anything other than justice and fair play.
For example, Igbo have NEVER made a STRONG demand to be given the presidency (like the North did through Buhari in 2015).
Igbo have NEVER asked for anything that deny others their fair share or shake.
Why the hate on them then?

Unless you believe that Igbo leaving Nigeria denies others of something, in which case you must then accept that they are CRITICALLY VITAL to Nigeria's survival as a viable country.
What baffles some of us is that the people who promote hate (or instigate others to hate) against the Igbo, are the same people who hide behind the "North" to remind Igbo of their civil war woes. Indirectly threatening them to dare to leave (though this method has died down considerably since the emergence of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB).
How I wish that people who hate the Igbo can at least support them to leave Nigeria.

So @OP, we Igbo appreciate what you are trying to do, but please understand that what Igbo need in Nigeria is JUSTICE.
Once, we get that, all will be well.
But if we don't get that, all bets are off.

Thanks, @ OP for celebrating us. You will be celebrated as well. Like someone said that you will never know what you have until you lose it.

Igbos are very funny.

If I have my way, I won't let them have their so called Biafra.

The country will be boring without them, just imagine the comedy grin

Someone just woke up and was claiming that igbos are dominating in sport, entertainment, education etc grin

The same way some one who came a distance third in an election is telling the whole world that he was the winner grin

A clown here is asking us to celebrate the igbos because the star performer in a game which we could not even win is an Igbo. Where as the current African best female footballer and the most decorated female footballer in that team is a yoruba grin
That means the OP and his lowlife goons won't let us have a breathing space if Oshoala were an Igbo grin

The likes of Anthony Joshua, Israel Adesanya, Omos etc are all yorubas but they don't seek validation or celebration front anyone.

Someone should inform the OP and his goons that the yorubas have since taken over the movie industry, music industry, sport industry, political space and business.

The only the left for the lowlifers from the sad yeast region in trade.

Igbos are funny as wear grin
