Abike Dabiri labelled ‘grandmother of bigotry’ for endorsing post calling Igbos monkeys

The chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has been labelled “grandmother of bigotry” for amplifying an X post that referred to Igbos, citizens of the South-East extraction, as monkeys and gorillas.

On Wednesday, Peoples Gazette reported how Mrs Dabiri-Erewa reposted a post by one of her followers, Wale Akere, lauding her efforts while referring to Igbos as “monkeys, children of gorillas and bastards.”

“My sister, you are doing well, allow those monkeys to continue to make unnecessary noises. They are born to be ungrateful people. Those animals tagging you, they are children of gorilla history told us about them. Kudos to you, Madam @abikedabiri. @Voiceofigbos see what my sister has done omo ale jatijati,” @akerele_s posted.

In apparent approval of @akerele_s’ toxic post, Mrs Dabiri-Erewa reposted it with memes of laughter, sparking reactions, with many social media users berating her as a bigot and tribalist.

Sharing a screenshot of Mrs Dabiri-Erewa’s post, @MrEnugu1 said, “Abike is the grandmother of bigotry.”

Similarly, @OkeyKingsman said Mrs Dabiri-Erewa “will be the first minister of tribalism and bigotry in the history of Nigeria.”

Another X user, @nedusteve, said @abikedabiri is the “queen mother” of bigotry in Nigeria.

Some others said the NiDCOM boss’ approval of the post shows President Bola Tinubu’s government’s tolerance and support for making bigotry a state policy.

Activist Aisha Yesufu wrote, “Whenever you think this woman wouldn’t go lower, she finds a way of really digging in and finding a new low. The bigotry you have seen online has support from their leaders! What a despicable shame!”

An X user, @UcheNdubisi11, said, “I don’t think people really understand the full picture of what is going on here. She is not saying or posting these hate comments out of some sort of personal bad behaviour, absolutely not the case.

“What is unfolding before us all is a full-blown policy stance and acceptance of xenophobia. Tinubu and his cohorts have realized that without the machinations of tribal hate, he couldn’t be anything politically; therefore, xenophobia/tribal hate has become a yielding weapon!”

Another user, @achieverwealth, said, “I have seen people go low and some even lower, but this woman @abikedabiri, she is beyond gutters in her bigotry. In fact, she is below the sea level. In a saner clime, she ought to have been sacked by now and placed under investigation with a touch of psychological test.”

@faroukpseudonym said, “The bigotry you see Ronu Rascals displaying on X is proudly sponsored by senior government officials. A child whose father sends to steal kicks the door in with reckless abandon.”

This post will not make FP because the Mods are not different from Abike Dabiri, Seun needs to think of balancing the Mods to reflect the country's diversity.
This site should not be seen as a Yoruba website.

I also noticed that responding to certain monikers that promotes bigotry here gets one immediate ban from the Mods or bot.

Abike Dabir is a cabon copy of what she called others.

Nigeria has existed for the past 100 years and the peoples have refused to embrace one another. Nigeria is a fraudulent state designed in a way that no matter what you do, you must carry an identity that shows your root hence the state of origin official certificate instead of place of birth.

It's okay if we agree to run a fraudulent state and try to grab all its largesse while they last. However, the part I will resist is the idea of running this fraudulent state for over 60 years and still blaming our misfortunes on our colonial masters. Black people must learn to take responsibility for their irresponsibility.

The thread title and content is totally misleading against rule 8

The northerners who held power for 8 years during Buhari's time didn't stoke ethnic tensions like this. It is their slaves who they allowed into power that are going around spreading feces on the faces of people.

2027 is not far.

If Oby Ezekwesili was the one who made this statement will you say this, we would have seen different headings of this topic on FP, but several days after her demeaning endorsement of the post calling Igbos names it has not FP on Nairaland

I don't know if I should say this is a Yoruba website

It wouldn't be fair enough, but why is the owner of the site not paying attention to his site?


If the owner doesn't care for his site and the well being, then what am I doing here?

Hmmm, goodbye guys

Please, how do I deactivate because this website doesn't pass 4 pages recently. A post will end up at page 2 or 3. Before it would be 10 to 12, but now, 1-2 or 3

She isn’t just the grandmother of bîgótry, she is bîgótry, in the flesh. And she knows it.

This arguemwnt reek of senselessness. No society as place of origin or place of birth on them. Every society get to chose whatever they desire.

Even in UK France etc you like to point there are several priviledges those claiming place of birth hardly enjoy or attain unlike those originating from the state.

No measure world over declare place of birth beta than state origin, only you Igbos make that claim because of the dubious reason you have to.

Welsh British Scott Irish all share a single country without wailing ceaselessly to defraud each other of place of birth n place of origin so pls shut your fooliahness up no one buys it n no one cares how long you wail about it.

Ebows can lament ehn

See wailing and yanshing of teeth

God bless Abike dabiri for calling a spade a spade, you don't sugarcoat things because Osuruike is involved.

Can you clearly show where the post referred to the Igbo tribe as monkeys?

They did stoke ethnic tensions.
It's an old weapon that they have mastered and the likes of buhari was a master at ethic bigotry..
Check very well

I'm sorry or maybe I didn't read it right but the post you claimed she liked didn't mention any tribe or set anyone apart.

Please help point me to where any tribe was mentioned or how the conclusion was gotten that the post was referring to a particular tribe maybe from previous posts or something.

That said, her position is too sensitive for such. She shouldn't even be liking any comments regardless of who it's from or what it's about except posts lifting Nigeria's image.

I don't understand why this woman still occupies that office...


Despite the controversies that have trailed her during her time there!

She should continue, nothing lasts forever. Their kingdom shall some day come to an end. We are all immortal.

No bro it is not a question about coexistence it's about the leprosy hands of the drug lord that turn precious stone to mud, bigotry has never gotten this worst until this grab it and run-away rascals assumed leadership positions. They don't have anything to offer, from the look of things they have not recovered from the shock of the stolen mandate. Now the system is paying for it, there is no institution that has not felt the impact of their misrule is it the economy, judiciary, the people, the excessive taxing, the entire system, everything jagajaga.

Only a confused leadership will keep characters like this woman and her ilk, they refuse to understand that what goes around comes around your turn today another's turn tomorrow.

How is the post about Ibos?

When you crave victim mentality so much so that you claim every negative said about others

I still don't get this. The guy that posted didn't mention any tribe. Is it that you guys actually believe you fit his description or something? Are you now accepting that what he said was about you?

why always Abike Dabiri Erewa in the whole Nigeria ?


Truily she is the Grandmother of tribalism.

Its ironic that individuals like you who supported and cheered the lunatic Kanu and see him as a saint will have the temerity to accuse others of hate and bigotry

wen your cup is full, even your village people will start dragging you.

that is wat she is finding out now, that even fellow yoruba are disgusted with her tribalism and they are saying it loud.

Why do people keep posting this fake news. Lmao.

You made all this up in your head.

Peter Obi till date is the father of bigotry (both tribal and religious) in Nigerian politics..
