Paul C. Nwabuikwu, Special Adviser to the former Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has taken to his Facebook wall to appreciate an unknown Yorubaman who at a great risk to his life hid his father from the mob searching for Igbos in Kano, in 1966.

See what he wrote:

TRIBUTE TO THE UNKNOWN YORUBA MAN

At great risk to his life, a Yoruba neighbor on Sanyaolu street, Sabon Gari, Kano, hid my father from the mob searching for Igbos in 1966.

I still don't know your name, sir, but my prayer is that God will bless you and your descendants today and always.

Your sacrifice is one of the reasons why Nigeria, in spite of many disappointments, continues to retain some meaning for me.

We are the best tribe in the world. 'cos we dont believe in segregation!

No reference

wait for yoots to call him afonja as usual.

Our beneficiary has turned round to bite us, but this time around.. Hmmm

the thing is we know we love our neighbors but so they still want to speak evil of us to feel good inside of them

They will soon call him Afonja

Lol. I also want to thank the Yoruba family that saved my uncle in Sabon-gari in the same 1966 prgrom. Mobs and soldiers were going round killing Igbo people but his neighbours who were crying more than the Igbo hid him at the risk of death. Na why I no dey generalize. Some Yoruba good, some bad.
God bless the Igbo Nation!

How many ibos were killed in Lagos?

You guys know no history, that's why you come here and talk trash all day

Ibos got most of their properties back in Lagos after the war than in Port Harcourt where they got nothing.

You guys lack knowledge of history

I pity your​ biafra


Just do and leave

SIR LOUIS OJUKWU PROPERTY THAT IS STILL BEING USED BY LAGOS GOVERNMENT IS WAT?
STOP LYING, YORUBA STARTED THE WHOLE ABANDONED PROPERTY AND NO IGBO WERE NOT GIVEN THEIR PROPERTY.
EVEN THE MONEY IN THEIR ACCOUNT, AWOLOWO REFUSED TO ALLOW THEM.

Go back and check history

Most properties were reclaimed

But this time, you are leaving for good and you are leaving empty handed

What is the add of this Sir Louis property?. The problem with you Igbos is that you sit down in the East and bandy around so much falsehood and ignorance that you now spread into NL.

We are who we are

There are 2 types of people- good and bad people. Being good shouldn't be predicated on one's tribe.

That's it.

Oluwole Soyinka and Abdulganiyy Fawehinmi went to jail because of Ndigbos. They stood against Nigeria government. They ended the war with their powerful pens and mouths. So many Yorubas risked their lives to save ndigbo from going to extinction....and today, they referred to us as cowards.

ok.
You see my six packs, then
you think I got your back in a
fight Lol. These things are
for Instagram. Don't get
yourself killed dear.

Until we see ourselves as Nigerians shitt will keep happening....

Good one

I don't understand you all....Rather than initiate steps to make our future better, we are here cursing each other about the past......Wake up!!
