My brother Igbos are breed of lions that are not afraid to take RISKS. Infact we are the most hard working tribe in the entire Nigeria. We love adventures too. Are you not ashamed that even in your western states, Igbos ruled there in your post above? An Igbo man is found in every country in the world. #Quoteme# Anyway, you're BROWN ROOF REPUBLIC so I don't have much to tell you.
