Normally Uzodinma nor get sense..

He lacks emotional intelligence and tact.


If he had sense he would have hosted the players of Imo state origin.
That would have made more sense devoid of criticism.

Hosting a particular tribe smacks of ethnic bigotry...
i read somewhere that he hosted only those from imo state and not igbo players from the east

Ogbeni. You people are showing Ebonyi who you don't regard as full igbo shege.
That was a heavy clap back from you with those ATTACHED screenshots. Purely evidence-based . "Too hot to handle, too cold to hold."

Because I don't understand this bad belle
Let me guess, when Igbos host their own it’s fair game but when Yorubas host their own it’s tribalism. Got it. Ride on.

he should have hosted the whole team and give them shawarma? When Tobi amusan won gold dapo abiodun hosted all the athletes or only tobi?
Don’t tell me you just compared an individual athlete winning gold medal to a team doing the same. The depth you guys will sink to bring up excuses

Video: Verydarkman calls out IMO state Governor for hosting only Igbo falcons players instead of the entire team


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDYRgmLUoF4?si=wwLiyCmFZTEO6PIv
I watched the full video just now and the young man made absolutely VERY valid points in the video about cultural values and respect for heirachy.

However, I'm NOT sure if he fact-checked if all the players from the different states of the South East were the ones hosted or just simply from Imo State. If he hosted Imo State soccer players alone then that's in order as that has always been the norm.


I'm also aware that all the state Governors jointly contributed a whopping sum of money as a gift to each of the female players in addition to the gifts from the Federal Government of Nigeria.

We all look at issues from different perspectives based off of information at our disposal but just as I stated, he made valid points in the video.

peterincredible:
infact i am surprised the way it is going soon the we igbos will teach nigeria what it means to be a tribal bigot
Genuinely, explain how worse can it get than what we see on social media everyday? Teach Nigeria in what way, closing your borders to outsiders? (Ipob got that on lock), stop doing business with other tribes? (if that were possible, you will be back home), block agriculture products? ( news flash, you are the lowest producers already). So what area exactly is your tribalism gonna teach any Nigerian anything. Take it from a person that 100% support you to have your own big beautiful country. Let everyone answer their papa name.

If you dare try it in the SW, the South Easterners will come for you with the shout of tribalism.

- Azikwe created Ibo union - no problem
- Awolowo later created Egbe omo oduduwa
Azikwe and his igbo Caucus shouted tribalism

- Anambra and Otti demolished houses - quiet
- Lagos demolished structures - igbos shouted Tribalism

We can go on and on.
Why you come stop? Oya go on and on and on and on and on and on.....

This boy with his pokenosing into issue that supposed not concern him.

If Gov Hope chose to celebrate the Igbo's in Falcons, so be it, let the governors from South West or other regions celebrate their own too

I read that some Super Eagles players Donated $30k for the Super Falcons. They have already been celebrated, any aside celebration is a plus
I can't believe you typed this. No bigotry this time around. Good one from you. Keep it úp.

Usually APC governors can never fail to disappoint...we igbos dont segregate,we are not like the other people(who claim to be accomodators)but celebrate tribalism to high heavens.
If Hope Ozodinmma is not ready to host all the girls,he should just forget it.we are Igbos,we have a big heart,that's our culture.

Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, hosted seven members of the Super Falcons team who are natives of IMO state. 5 of them were players Chiamaka Nnadozie,, Osinachi Ohale, Tochukwu Oluehi, Jennifer Echegini, and Chinwendu Ihezuo. He didn’t just host the IGBO players. He hosted the daughters of his state and there is nothing wrong with that.

Re: VeryDarkMan Calls Out Governor Uzodimma For Hosting Only Igbo Falcons Players by Dbakre1: 4:31am On Jul 30, 2025
But that has been the norms, successful sportsmen have always been hosted to special reception by their state Governments.
Its not new

You dissociated yourself from kekere ekun but roped all igbos into supporting the bill. What do u call that?
Goodvibes007:
As a Yoruba man, I dont care about how you govern yourself in the east. We dont poke nose into your affairs.

Justice Kekere Ekun was doing her job. We are not related in any way, shape or form.

Ps: The man that started the bill is from Abia state is i.e. the Deputy speaker.

An interesting observation is that all igbos including those in Labour, APC and PDP are all supporting the useless bill. Reason being that, it gives them a chance and tbe legal backing tk expand and take over the minorities in the South South.

One thing I hate about you people, u don't speak truth to yourself.

Why can't he host them as a team

If Sanwolu had hosted only Yoruba players u will be there shouting Tribaling, your region is too engross with tribalism

There haven't been a time I ever liked that so called very dark man, the guy Just like to create calamity in order to gain viewers and sympathy. Yes what the governor did might not be right but things like that are happening in all corners of this country, if he has the strength to call out this one, he should also have the strength of calling out similar acts. He should also call out president Tinubu for giving Igbos the least appointment and many more cheating against Igbos, maybe he hasn't heard about the changing of streets going on in Lagos. I once applied for a job in Lagos and it was turned down because I was an Igbo man. Anyone the will accused the governor including that hypocrite calling himself vdm should first tell us if his own state is not guilty of this crime.....
Even in some universities, they still favour the indigenes of that state.....
Above all, tribalism has eaten deep in of this country, calling out this single act while similar things are happening every day shows that this guy is a partial guy. Beside, fg has given them the highest price which no governor of this country can give them.

Uzodimma celebrating igbo falcons is tribalism and bigotry
But disenfranchising and discriminating against Nigerians on the basis of indigenship which Ben Kalu and co sponsored a bill to eliminate is nationalism..

VDM pleasure call out those who are trolling the sponsors of the indigenous bill. They are the real ethnic champions and not Uzodimma.

And guess what, they project it on others. The 2023 election is a very good example. They gave Peter obi over 90% of their votes. The Yorubas and the North gave Tinubu and Atiku just over 50%, guess who they were calling tribalist?
Election started in 2023 for you. Thats why you dont remember that in 1999, they gave Obasanjo, a Yoruba man who was rejected by his own people more than 90% of their votes. In 2003, Ikemba Ojukwu, the acclaimed King of the Igbos worldwide lost presidential election in the East because his own people again voted Obasanjo for election. In 2007, igbos voted Yar Adua a Fulani from Katsina in an election that other Igbos ran as Presidential candidate. In 2011, they Jonathan from South South. In 2015, they rejected Buhari who failed massively in government and voted Jonathan. In 2019 without any apology they voted against Buhari again and for Atiku also a Northerner. In 2023, they voted Obi against Tinubu without any apology. Oya show me the voting pattern of your people lets see who votes more along tribal lines.

you Yorubas are hypocrites! When a LGA chairman honoured a boy who did well in weac/jamb you all wanted to have his head for it because the boy was Igbo, you people have made it known that you want Igbos out of your states, you change the street named after igbo people to yours etc.. all these are tribalistic behaviours which you openly support. But now a governor has chosen to host falcon players and staffs from his Imo state and all of a sudden you now see that tribalism is bad and should be shunned. Na hypocrisy go Kill Yoruba people.

And what's wrong with S.E massively voting for Peter Obi in the 2023 general elections? He was and still remains the better candidate by far, do you expect the S.E to vote for a calamity when there's a better alternative available? You're complaining about the support and voting turnout Obi enjoyed from S.E and framing it as tribalism but deep down you wish that Yoruba states would do the same for Tinubu — and he can't get such landslide victory because everyone, even his supporters know he was and still is a calamity!
S.E massively voted for Obasanjo twice, Ojukwu couldn't the SE zone when he contested against Yar'Adua who beat him in SE so kindly shut the hell up!

There's nothing tribalistic about uzodinma's actions.
It shows the actual IQ level of those who are attacking the governor.
First, people don't even know what and how tribalism is being applied because of the decay in nija's education.

The governor is the chief resident officer of his state.
But what you have here is state of origin.
You cannot take the shine of other governors who also have their citizens excell in sports by hosting them... It's not done anywhere in the world.


It's the president that has the mandate to celebrate a national treasure...


Learn, so you don't get fired when you get a good job
Those condemning this very action must have really low IQs. I'm no fan of Uzodimma in any way, but how people expect a state governor to host an entire national team is beyond me. For Christ’s sake, it's in the capacity of the president to do that, which he already did.

Quite unfortunate we now carelessly throw the word “tribalism” all over the place.
