Why Are Igbos Not Dociled or Easily Controlled Like Other Ethnic Groups/Tribes? I have followed this country in history and experience, one thing is certain with respect to unshackling Nigeria from the control of foreign forces and bondage, the Igbos resistance and stubbornness as clearly seen from history and also cited in many colonial books by whites. You cannot dictate for this people and neither can you put them in box. From 1960s to date, they are the only major ethnic group that have tried many times and continue to try to unshackle all us from this bondage we are under. 51 Likes 8 Shares |

Go and read about "Igbo Landing Mass Suicide (1803) ", you will understand the true resolve of an average Igbo man. There is something in them I don't see in other blacks. One thing I also noticed about Igbos is the importance of independence even in families. Go to any Igbo family you know even the rich families, you will notice that when their sons are above 18, they are forced to seek their own way; you either go to school, do business/learn trade, or travel out. You hardly see an Igbo man in his late 20s or 30s still living with their parents. I grew in Ogun and Lagos, I'll tell you this: most yoruba men in their 30s, even 40s still live with their parents. This is not joke! 70 Likes 11 Shares |

OP, I am sure that in your typical deluded iPob mind you actually think your Yoruba sounding moniker is actually fooling us. Quit being a pu$$zzy and be yourself for Pete's sake. You can definitely pass the exact same message with a more fitting iPob moniker. Nobody will harm you. No need for this foolishness, really. 25 Likes 1 Share |

The core of igbo values system is fundamental human freedom. We never had an empire or conquered our neighbors. They lived with us for thousands of years. We practiced democracy even before the white man brought his own version. We are republican in nature and culture and believe leadership comes from the consent of the masses. The core of Judeo-Christian values was already embedded in our cultural practices and that's why we adopted Christianity rapidly without any need for forceful conversion. 31 Likes 4 Shares |

AshiwajuFoward: Stop this tribalism nonsense. I have tried to remain non tribal in my posts. I'm giving credit to whom it's due. Tell me one successful movement by Hausas/Fulani or Yorubas to unshackle all of us from this created country? None but all you see is by Igbos. Tell me one by Yorubas and I'll write on it because I couldn't find one. 39 Likes 3 Shares |

Obstinacy and belligerency are sadly not solely an Igbo traite - that's if this is what op means. The rest of Africa possess these traits in spades,which is why Africa is backward. See the people of South Sudan, Central Africa ,Somalia and so on. Compare the progress made by the docile people of the world to the obstinate ones. The most belligerent nation of the carebean is Haiti. Compare Haiti to the rest of the Carebean. Compare the comparative docile people of Asia to combative Africans. For Africa to progress, Africans simply need peaceful environment in which to work. They need to buckle down and work for all, especially the future of thire children. They need long term planning not short term ones. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Why are ipob so daft for God sake ? The Igbo as an ethnicity as never stood up for anything except for their selfish interest or the interest of some group of Igbo nitwits. Because some miscreants believe they can disturb the polity just like Ojukwu did which eventually got his fingers burnt before he surrendered does not translate to what you are insinuating. Igbo are the most subdued, traumatized, disrespected abused, rubbished among the ethnic group in Nigeria. The average Igbo in Nigeria understand this and continuously plead for freedom which every other Nigerian as refused to grant to the Igbo having inherited these bulk of OSU slaves from the British. I am mystified as to why the same Igbo that identify himself boldly as a second class citizen "slave" with no right can suddenly turn history on it's head and claim it is the not docile or easily controlled tribe. Right from memorial the entire Igbo race as been docile, dominated and turned into savages in their own land. They dare not aspire for the highest position in the land. They dare not ask for the rail that past through Aboki land talk less of the land of the Ipob gods the SW. I weep for the race with no balls. Another Igbo charade just ended without eliciting a message from any official of the federal republic and yet a miscreant wake up to claim that his people are not easily controlled or docile. The same tribe that it's right and birthright as been denied to it since inception of this country since 1960. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

wale101010: ..but Nnamdi Kanu is in docile mode. He doesn't have to respect any of the conditions given him by the court. He can flaunt all of them, but why is he not? Is he not Igbo? The zoo is dictating to him how to conduct himself and he has not crossed the line drawn for him. Has he stopped being Igbo? OP, please find another reason to explain why Igbo is the way you say they are. 7 Likes |
