Seyi Tinubu Faces Backlash After Holding A Meeting With Igbo Billionaires by ThroneNGamez(op): 9:39am On Oct 24, 2025
They are canceling Seyi Tinubu our in-law?

Because he held a meeting with Igbo billionaires?

Y’all forgot he has an Igbo Wife?


The post satirizes online tribal backlash against Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria's president, for hosting a breakfast meeting with Igbo businessmen like Obi Cubana and E-Money to discuss youth-led national development under the "Change Nigeria" initiative.

Accompanying screenshots capture Yoruba critics accusing Seyi of betraying ethnic interests due to his Igbo wife, underscoring how personal relationships fuel divisive narratives in Nigerian social media.

huh

It's none of my business

But it's for interest of the Igbos to know that the hatred Yorubas have for them is a thousand times greater than an hurricane

I've been hearing about the hatred of the average Yoruba man for the Igbo, but it has never ever made any sense.

I just don't understand the sort of indoctrination and parochialism that would lead a sane human being to cancel out an entire tribe of people who are not in the least bothered by his existence.

National Orientation Agency should work on the Yoruba masses.
This is pathetic, to say the least.

Politics is about lobbying.

While Peter Obi is making a case that yahoo boys are geniuses and they need rehabilitation, Seyi is lobbying Igbo businessmen who have made money in Lagos.

They contribute to financing elections and influencing voters through their goodwill.

I think they fault Seyi's activities because their man can't meet these people as they see through him.

Wahala oooo, in this world just do what makes you happy. I'm sure they are not expecting Seyi to be hostile, disrespectful or confrontational to the igbos, now that his father needs their support to deliver on his promises and also garner enough Southern unity votes in the 2027 Presidential election. Ki awon eeyan wa maa calm down leekan kan... Seyi has not done anything wrong by meeting with the so called Igbo billionaires.

Backlash for meeting igbo billionaire, pls I don't understandhuh

So are you saying he has no right to speak to any Igbo person or he has no right meeting a fellow country man?

I'm not understanding.

Seyi wife is Lebaness by father side and mum igbo so you can't say she is a fully igbo woman.

Pls no need inducing tribalism into this to glorify another hate stunt.

I doubt this topic it might be the handwork f Sahara liars and obidient liars.

Choose you words carefully. Don't be decieved by the illusion of anonymity of Nairaland. It was such a comment like this that made Peter Obi sue Deji Adeyanju.

Anyway, whenever I hear people like these lamenting,the first thing that comes to my mind is abject poverty,rich folks still run businesses together,travel out on holidays together,marry each other and equally think together how to control the political space....but you see,all these APC online tribal media crew are nothing but useful idi*ts in the hands of the politicians.
