Don't take it personally bro. To the uneducated Yoruba, there are only 3 tribes in Nigeria: Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. So as long as you're not Hausa or Yoruba, you're automatically Igbo. Even if you're from Edo, Delta, Cross River etc, they call you "Omo Ibo."
So their not wanting Igbo is more of a generalized racism (tribalism) not necessarily directed at the actual Igbos.
And sometimes it can be because of a very minor reason as language barrier: if the landlord/landlady speaks only Yoruba.

Skooltynz:
op no mind them,you can only hate on what is better than you thats a psychological fact.ask the man if he wants igbos to break out of Nigeria you will see a different answer unity begging leeches.

bro is the normal stereotype in nigeria...we in the south assume everybody from the north is hausa even if they are speaking a different language. Is a normal thing bro

It's not just the uneducated yorubas but also the educated once.

I remembered vividly while running an msc program in one of the South western University; i was confronted by some of my coursemates that i am igbo! I said, no, i wasnt igbo! And i asked them how they came to the conclusion that i was igbo. I was stunned by their response. They said since i wasn't hausa and obviously, i wasn't yoruba, then i should be igbo! I was at that point imagining how daff those guys were! In a country of more than 250 tribes, their warped brains could not informed them that the whole nation can not just be divided into 3 tribes only!

Confused people!

He should have taken the disgraceful rejection in peace without coming to cry on the internet

tunjijones:
In Akure, there are 3 set of people indigenes don't rent house to cos of their wahala:
1. The igbo people
2. Students of tertiary institution
3. Unmarried ladies.

Now imagine if you are an igbo unmarried lady in a tertiary institution in Akure...

You are foolish enough to classify over 50 million people including your parents as stubborn...

Lol.
To think that Ama is not even Igbo is why this is extraordinarily funny.

We should maintain this energy, I think.

It is directed at the igbos. I am an estate agent. The other tribes are collateral damage

Sometimes even after correcting them, some will still wave it off saying it's all the same.

tuzle:
I face the same problem even from my mummies family member. My dad is from delta state and my mum is from ogun. Any time I see any of them, they will surely call me omo Igbo.
