It will be a task impossible to actualise for the Igbos, to follow the Yoruba's Ideology. The Igbos are more republican by nature, which is why it is very difficult for you to tame such tribe.

From the extensive research I did on the three major tribes, I find out that the Igbos are the most westernized, most enterprising, most astute, most dynamic, most intelligent (smart), and the most technically gifted tribe found among the black race.
The Hausa/Fulani and the Yorubas have limitations. But an Igbo man doesn't see any limitations. An average Igbo man is highly competitive, unlike the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani.

While the Yoruba and the Hausa/Fulani had kingdoms which enabled the British to infiltrate their territories easily, the Igbos on the other hand, had what could be called "Chiefdoms" (autonomous Communities). These structures made it very difficult to tame the Igbos.
It took the British just 9 months to tame the North and South West but
almost 30 years to be able to tame the Igbos.

The British had to send a team of anthropologists to the South to understudy the Igbo because, they (the British) acknowledged they hadn't being up against a black race with such depth and intelligence coupled with the gut to confront the whites and learn from them so, so fast.

While a Tinubu, can have unrestricted influence over the Yoruba tribe, something you can only find mostly among blacks and some poor nations on earth today, an Igbo man can never be tamed by the ideology of one man unchecked, no matter how highly placed he or she is. That's why the Igbos are very successful no matter where they find themselves. They don't believe in putting limitations on their path. You can only find such similarities among the Europeans, the Americans, and developed Asian tiger nations.

A Hausa/Fulani man sees Kano as his world. A Yoruba man sees Lagos as his world. An Igbo man sees the world as his Village!

insecurity, low selfesteem and inferiority complex is having to constantly blow your own trumpet even when others see you differently, it is having to talk down other tribe to feel good about oneself. irrelevant comparison.. Osu slave discriminating practice even among same tribe even in 2018. i wonder if the over 200 tribes in nigeria also starts this childish disrespectful trend of "na me better pass" if we wouldnt be looking at large scale disagreement and conflicts

True, it would be easier to teach a monkey to use fork and knife, than for an Igbo man to be socially and politically civil.

Your philosophy is flawed on the premise that no one man can influence or dictate the lives of Igbos. That's a mythical lie that have resonates to form complexes that haunts.

Let me also burst your head; being Republican in nature doesn't stand out a people. Their beliefs do. The Chinese aren't Republican neither the Koreans nor Japs. To me, the Igbo's famed strength is their major weakness. Because they think they can always be independently minded, they always have the unusual rivalry that is fuelled by jealousy.

So, stop this narrow narrative and look out for what works.

Watch this video and you will know who Igbos are. The brain of an Igbo man is not the same as a Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani. You will learn today why powerful western governments are holding Biafrans in Nigeria, on purpose to prevent the rise.

Would you bother to read the below from Balarebe Musa...? It is similar. Though I agree people shouldn't blow their trumpet but this fact is generally agreeable!

"...The Igbo are more competitive than the Hausa and the Yoruba. The Hausa and Yoruba bourgeoisie are afraid of this, in particular when there is so much to share in Nigeria. They are afraid of the Igbo because they are not competitive. Igbo are more competitive because they don’t have inhibition. The inhibition of Hausa, the inhibition of Yoruba is not there. The Yoruba can only talk of Oduduwa, the Hausa can only talk to you about empires and so on. But the Igbo are not that inhibitive, they are more republican. You can say largely that Igbo are free thinkers; they are more free thinkers than the Hausa and the Yoruba, which means Igbo can take things on face value, while the Yoruba and Hausa will not. Igbo are more competitive in terms of economic activities. An Igbo man is more competitive than a Yoruba man and an Hausa man..." Balarebe Musa

I don't take the opinions of ignorant people seriously. What are basis for such comparison. Ibos are more competitive and yet they never ventured outside of iboland until the whites found them there.
Igbo are more competitive than other tribes in terms of economic activities? Nonsense, that is a lie you tell yourself to amuse yourself.
List the richest Nigerians and the list will still be dominated by Hausa and Yoruba.
Selling stuff, as in petty trading is not the only economic activity in Nigeria.

The Hausa and Yorubas might dominate because they are helped by government and also because they started with nothing after the 3 years civil war...Watch this video...It is from a Kenyan..

They are helped by the government indeed. Can a Kenyan tell me more about Nigeria and Nigerians? I doubt it. There are hard working Nigerians of all tribes, there are also lazy Nigerians of all tribes.

Thomas Sowell, a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University and a renowned scholar on Races and World Economies wrote that, "Most of the great mindless slaughters of the 20th century -- whether of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, the kulaks in the Soviet Union, the Jews in Germany, the I[g]bo in Nigeria or the Tamils in Sri Lanka -- have been slaughters of those who dramatically eclipsed the accomplishments of others.
