You are a fool for insulting an entire tribe for the deeds of some miscreants. How will you feel if people insult your tribe for the actions of few people?

dayo23:
Ebira people are just terrible....all what dey know is fight and riot. Very useless set of people

meccuno:

nwadiuko1:

francizy:


Why do you say nasty and stewpid things about other tribes as if you're a saint. Are you this animalistic not to consider the diversity of people and also respect other tribes? Please turn a new leaf and try get sense for once.

PS: my best friend (whom I've known since 2008) is from Ebira and he's a very responsible, God fearing and sensible dude.

they is little difference between an Ebira man and the typical northern muslim. Their Islam no be here o. If Boko haram decides to set up a base i know it will be in Ebiraland. I sometimes wish we were in different states altogether

Junior66:
my guy, lets forget political correctness here o. We (Igalas and Yorubas live with them and we know them very well). You can pick a fight with anybody and go scot free but dnt try an Ebira person. Instead of slapping or punching you, dey will stab u instead u instead. Ask anybody from Kogi or even an honest Ebira man. He will tell you that his people are very dangerous. Igala political thugs can make trouble all over Kogi state except in Okene. Just ask anybody

Junior66:
You guys can keep insulting the poor dude, but he is unfortunately right. If you have to be scared of any particular ethnic group in north-central, den na Ebiras be that. Try and travel tru Okene at night and you may have anoda story to tell.
