VEXT: I Was Rejected, Humiliated And Denied An Opportunity Because I am From Ebonyi State - Nnajiofor Victoria Nnenna | #IgbereTV
14/01/2024, A Day I'll never forget!!!
Please be patient and read to the end 🙏
I don't normally write much because I used to think that this writing thing is not for me. But due to the kind of pain I experienced last night, I've decided to pen this down regardless of how it may sound.
My desire to start up a poultry business started becoming a reality few days ago. The goal was to stock my day old chicks latest before the end of this weekend so I'll be able to sell off during Easter period. I experienced lot's of challenges as regards this business proposal, starting from the financial involvement down to the least challenge you can ever think of in a poultry business.
Notwithstanding, I was able to navigate through some of these challenges and I proceeded with the other stages involved.
Along the line, the major challenge became "A conducive space to carry out this business" . I'm trying this for the very first time as a business and in a large scale, so I am not really sure if I will continue or not. For this reason, I started looking for a temporary place. I wanted a place i can lease for a period of three months. I believe that the birds must have be fully grown by then.
I searched and searched and there was no available space to use in my area. I went from one poultry farm to the other to know if they would lease the place to me, paraventure they will not be needing it this period. It's either they are using their pen, or they will get back to me, which they never did.
I finally got a place through someone's recommendation and I was very excited. Though I have never gone to see the place, but the woman told me she will talk to the owner on my behalf and know if she would like to lease the place since they are not using it for now. But before she did that, she gave me a maximum assurance that the space is readily available and the owner is even looking for someone to lease the place to. An additional merit is that she told me the place is well secured, the pen is well constructed, and there's a good source of water there. On hearing that, I fell in love with the place even without seeing the place.
She finally talked to the owner and the woman agreed that I should pay 7k per month. Though the woman that connected me to her said I should bargain with the owner when I get there, that she's likely going to reduce it.
it was around past nine in the night we went to meet the owner of the place. This is because the woman that got the place for me said she doesn't have chance in the day time. she sells provision and she cannot leave her shop like that.
Getting there, I met the owner and she offered us a seat. we started discussing and everything was going smooth until she asked "where are you from?
I'm from Ebonyi State, ma'am, I replied...
Ebonyi State? no, I don't have any dealings with you guys. You came to the wrong place.
Why did you say that, ma'am? Ebonyi people are nothing but bad people, they are full of evil. I don't want to have anything to do with them.
But you don't even know me ma'am. I am from Ebonyi State doesn't mean I am evil, I replied back...
while I was still talking, she cut me short 🤦 and she said "there's nothing you will say that will make me to change my mind. And don't even bother going to beg my husband because he will never agree. Even if you offer us 10million naira, (she said that's the worth of the entire compound), we will never lease that space for you as long as you are from Ebonyi State.
Omooorrr, that was how she shut me up. I was completely speechless. We bade her goodnight and left.
while I was going home it wasn't me walking. I was lost in thought and full of pain. So many questions kept pondering in my heart and I began to ask myself:
Is it a crime to be an Ebonyian? Has it really gotten to this extent? Is the discrimination really necessary? Like, how did we even get to this point.? Why are we being treated like fools 😭
The pain of rejection is a very bad one. I've never experienced this kind of pain in my entire life. My only offence is that I am from Ebonyi State. But that's who I am. I can't deny myself even if the whole world denies me. I didn't choose myself, God choose me.
I don't know what Ebonyi People did to her, but believe me, Ebonyi State is full of amazing people and I am one of them.
I was really broken yesterday 😢 I cried the whole night 😭
This discrimination must stop!!! we are humans too and we deserve a better treatment.
Actually, I wanted to keep this to myself but I was led to share this experience. I really want to motivate every indigen of Ebonyi State out there hustling in one way or the other. Keep it up darling, don't let their negative mindset gets to you. They are free to reject us, but they they cannot stop us from shinning.
viccy12: I see your point and it's painful to admit you are correct. Look at how Yoruba people of Lagos denied ,humiliated their own son because he has an Igbo mother. Nigeria is a miserable place to be. Look at how they rigged the election to put an incompetent drug dealer because of tribal politics.

Sharap. GRV (half Ibo) was humiliated because he supports IPOB terrorist and used slur words on the people he wants to govern. Adeleke is half Ibo and he is a governor in the most conservative Yoruba state in Nigeria.
You ibos should go and fix your tribal region first before you accuse others.
You people can't take half of what you give to others.
“They brought somebody from Ebonyi to come & become Governor in Enugu State, God will not allow that.”

pocohantas: Painfully true. Because some of these other African countries also assume Nigerians when they want to do nonsense as they know we don't care or have proper verification process.
Only her is Chidimma Onwe and Adetshina. She should tell us where her Igbo father is from. They shouldn't dash us anyone. We have over 200m people already.
PortHarcourtcit: Ladies and gents I am here to preach peace, love and tolerance in Nigeria and to debunk lies and expose all hidden agenda of the 5 plots of land people of GBAJUE'S in Nigeria... Philip Emegwali the man who invented the fastest computer is an IKWERRE man from Omuagwa autonomous community in IKWERRE LGA and not Igbo as we have been lied to for many years and thanks to God almighty who is doing a wonderful job through me his servant and apostle of clarity...

babasolution: There's no logical explanation to the alleged herdsmen killings in Benue.
There's been genocidal scale murders in Benue,south Kaduna and plateau for the last ten years atleast.
The occurrence in Benue is beyond believable especially now that it just passes by hardly making the news.
It's beyond the scale of deaths even in pitched warfare.
At this point only the people of Benue can truly explain what goes on in that state.Cos it's unbelievable that no case is brought forward by concerned indigenes about the happenings in Benue.
I just can't figure out the silence with that level of deaths, aren't there people from such villages who are a bit prominent?
The silence of Benue people especially the TIV is suspect.
Medipharm: Who opposed the post? After all there was an English version besides. Language is a natural right of any people. Unless if there is any other negative reason behind the post. Everything Reno would want to change the narratives.
Lots of Ibos. Just go on the post and read post ls from Ibos, even those that don't live in Lagos. LMAO.
mrvitalis: Nigeria is a tripod state Two other majority group feels 8 years of presidency is to risky to give to an igbo man
Yet they fear that letting the igbo man go would lead to breaking up of nigeria because South South n middle belt would never stay in a Nigeria without igbos
Yorubas are terrified of self rule, the last two attempt one before the white man came and two after independent both ended with them killing themselves in large number
North feels it can't survive without Nigeria
Minority feels that the idea of Nigeria give them sense of being part of something big
Igbo man feels he can do better either leading Nigeria or on his own, feels Nigeria is holding it back unnecessarily
There you have it
Twice Nnamdi Azikiwe ensured Nigeria remained indivisible. He fought Awolowo against a secession clause to be added to the constitution. He betrayed the South and aligned with the North when Amhadu Bello threatened to pull the north out of the newly formed Nigeria if power does not come to the North.
Bonus: He supported Nigeria over Ojukwu's Biafra.
Memoirs of Biafria. The ibos forcefully annexed south south with their Biafria mirage, murdered and raped SS people. They will never forget.
If Ibo administration of Goverment was so good, the SE states would be Dubai, instead of the current dump they have. So bad that they are fleeing to the SW (their London) in large numbers.
seunmsg: Why exactly do they always do this? What exactly is the intention behind this? Is it deliberate or just a coincidence? Is there a deliberate conspiracy by certain elements to promote their language and relegate Yoruba language? Shouldn’t Yoruba people be worried about popular non-Yoruba social media influencers putting out tweets like this?
That was what they said in the early days of Asake till he blew up in their face 😂
Interesting to see that they haven't stopped this rubbish..
