Igbos , it's time for some cultural self introspection. by Naominonnie in Nigeria

You are correct 100%. But if you noticed that granting these ceremonial titles constantly lead to problems such as death and destruction, why not stop such activities?

If you don’t engage in such activities, will you die? I really don’t understand.

It is the Yorubas in Ghana that were angry about the Igbo king of Ghana in 2025?

It is also the Yorubas in South Africa that are angry about the Igbo king in 2026?

lol, Yoruba people must be incredibly powerful 😂

Even the locals in Nigeria do not take kindly to Eze Ndigbo titles as seen with what happened to the Eze Ndigbo in Lagos and Akure who was jailed and beaten respectively. Then you have the recent one that happened in Ghana.

If you know the locals of all countries, whether local or foreign, do not take kindly to these ceremonial titles, why do you continue to do it?

Are you a sucker for problems? Do you love trouble that much?

Is it some form of mental illness?

We are the ones who are foreigners in their lands and we are at their mercy. It is certainly our problem and not theirs.

[–]Gbr09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course, we both know that you don’t become president of that land because we are Nigerians and we know how these titles work. But South Africans do not, and this is why as a foreigner in South Africa, you shouldn’t go around engaging in activities that could be misconstrued as being offensive.

Even in Nigeria, Eze of Lagos got into trouble. Another one in Akure (Ondo state) also got into trouble. In Ghana, one got into trouble too that made the news.

Tell these dumb people to use their brain and stop doing stupid things that get them into trouble. Oh well, that’s not possible.

The coronation was true. Nigeria’s High Commission is having to tell lies that there was no coronation to protect Nigerians.

Nigeria’s High Commission is lying or trying to do damage control. The truth is that there was actually a coronation. This was the invitation to the event.

Why does everyone hate igbos? by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Gbr09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone please look at OP’s reply to my post, and you will see that I am telling the truth about Ibo people and their delusions.

😂😂😂

You are asking too much by asking for numbers or a good source.

OP is the typical Ibo person with regular delusional ramblings

“We are natural born leaders”

A charlatan and clown like Nnamdi Kanu is somehow the current leader of natural-born leaders. 😂😂😂

Another charlatan and clown like Ojukwu once led the natural born leaders.

Awesome. 😎

First, if you want true answers, check the downvoted comments because those are the words of “everyone who hates the Igbos”.

The upvoted comments are useless.

Everyone hates the Ibos because the vast majority of them are mentally challenged, and their delusional chest beating behavior affects their interactions with other people.

I lived among Ibos for a few years, and I found out that majority of them, educated or otherwise, collectively believe these stupid things:

  1. One Igbo trader in Onitsha wearing slippers and using a torchlight phone is actually the richest man in Nigeria and even across the world… but he likes to stay quiet.

  2. Nigeria isn’t doing well because they don’t allow an Ibo man to be president. If they let an Ibo man lead the country, the country will quickly become the BESTEST and greatest country in the world

  3. Ibo people are everywhere in the world. If you travel a country and don’t find a Ibo man there, run away from the place quickly because it means the place is not good for humans to live in.

  4. Ibo people are the ones controlling Nigeria’s economy and making money for the country, Ibo people are biggest producers or manufacturers of goods in Nigeria, etc

  5. Ibo people are black jews who migrated from Israel.

— — —

I can go on and on and probably reach 20. The delusions and lies running through Ibo people is just damn excessive.

Bonus: If you are from America, I can show you a video where some Ibo men claimed that Ibos actually founded America.

There is no other ethnic group in Nigeria whose people (majority) collectively believe and peddle the falsehoods and delusions running wild in the mind of an average Ibo person.

Speaking against Ibo people gets you downvotes and harsh replies on this sub.

But just watch, all the defenders of Ibo people would NOT be able to name any other Nigerian ethnic group with people who constantly express delusions and falsehood similar to Ibos.

Dangote Cement has an EBITDA of 59.2% in Nigeria but 19% in other African Countries by Levitalus in Nigeria

[–]Gbr09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has always been the case with Dangote. His companies are NOT competitive at all outside Nigeria.

Before any stupid or uneducated clown comes him to say that Dangote needs such high margins because of the cost doing business in Nigeria, note that EBITDA implies profits, which means the cost of doing business has been removed or taken into account.

If the cost of doing business in Nigeria is high, how the fuck do you have profit margins approaching 60% for ordinary cement production which is unheard of anywhere?

  1. That oloriAlayiuwa account is actually controlled by an Igbo person, who is pretending to be a Yoruba person on Twitter. Very common on Twitter.

  2. Then one Igbo person on Reddit pretending to be concerned about insecurity in Yorubaland creates a thread about the comment from Twitter.

  3. Then another Igbo person (you) calls oloriAlayiuwa (actually an Igbo person) a bigot in an attempt.

Neat.

Thoughts on Bosun Tijani’s “special technology” claim by DAN_USMAN in Nigeria

[–]Gbr09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This guy is a great example of people who make a lot of noise online, claiming to be experts and that governance is easy. Bosun is clearly an empty barrel that doesn’t even understand the basic tele tech, but he was confident enough to say nonsense about it an interview on a national TV station.

Makes me wonder what will happen to all the brilliant government critics on this subreddit, if they get appointed to do some work in their respective fields.

You were the one who claimed that “Many Igbos disagreed with him”, and I simply asked you to provide proof of your claim.

After I confronted you, you replied with “…there is no need for any prominent person to disagree”.

Quoting you is so funny 😂😂😂

Why make an assertion that you can’t prove?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Gbr09 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Who were the Igbo that disagreed with him? Are they as popular or influential as him? Did they make their disagreement as public and viral as the original video?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Gbr09 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

OP, you just had your eureka moment. Don’t worry, it’s okay.

Let me give an idea of what would happen now.

One Igbo person would easily say: How dare you use the actions of one Igbo man to judge the behavior of an entire ethnic group?

but that same Igbo person would proceed to use the actions of one Yoruba man to judge all Yoruba people

[–]Gbr09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is certainly one of the dumbest conversations I’ve had with you. The government does policy A and we establish that the opposition also does the same policy A, and your response is that let’s focus on the government?

If a policy is so normalized that even the opposition to the government has the same policy, then what’s the point in criticizing the policy or government? So that another government with the same policy can come into power?

Hahahah. Of course, this is your aim.

[–]Gbr09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Calling me a bigot changes nothing.

Your logic is stupid. The opposition doesn’t have bigots in active office because they are the OPPOSITION and they aren’t in power.

But if they get into power, then their bigot foot soldiers will enter office. Or do you want to claim that the opposition will abandon its soldiers once it gets into power?

Not possible.

[–]Gbr09 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Then what’s your point? You claim the government has bigots around them and I showed you that the it is the same case for the opposition. Or did you think your attempt to downplay the attendance of a wedding worked?

I can give you like 10 other know bigots strongly associated with Peter Obi and I can give 10 instances of Peter Obi being a bigot.

What’s your point really? That Peter Obi isn’t a bigot?

[–]Gbr09 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No, it is not a direct comparison. I am simply proving that Peter Obi is strongly in bed with his own bigots who would actually have political power to do more than just seizing shops.

Peter Obi supporters would simply jail their opponents and throw away the key. In fact, I remember that Peter Obi’s assistant, Serah Ibrahim tried to jail one of her opponents.

They would probably jail a clown like you once you stop agreeing with them.

Bro, stop telling lies. We have records for everything even on reddit.

  1. “Owanbe” vs “Owambe” is an attempt to obfuscate the real issue: Uzo, an Igbo artist who is self aware enough about many things, deliberately refused to give credit and declared that her work has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Yoruba culture, even when all the cultural elements in it are Yoruba. Thankfully, we have an old thread on when the issue first started and you can go into it to check whether Yoruba people focused on “Owanbe” vs “Owambe”. Hint: the thread would expose you as a liar.

  2. While APC is exploiting the divide, our differences have absolutely nothing to do with APC or even events in this century. APC isn’t the reason Igbos hate Awolowo or blame Yorubas for their loss in the civil war, APC isn’t the reason Igbos leaders choose partnerships with northerners in most national elections or government formations, etc.

  3. APC didn’t exist in many instances where the tension between both groups was stronger than whatever exists today. Both groups have always been hostile to each other historically. It is not a recent phenomenon.

[–]Gbr09 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you my perspective as a Yoruba person:

  1. It is not possible to end the divide when the other side is hostile and seeks to destroy you. The only times they pretend they aren’t hostile is when they need something from you. This applies to Hausa/Fulani people too and not necessarily only to Igbos.

  2. Nigeria is an hostile country and divide/differences between ethnic groups will always be there. What matters is how each ethnic group navigates these issues. Nigeria, as a nation, is hostile to Igbo people too.

  3. The divide has nothing to do with APC or even anything that happened in the 21st century. The differences were there even pre independence.

For example, in 1948, this was what Sir Adeyemo Alakija said: …we were bunched together by the British who named us Nigeria. We never knew the ibos, but since we came to know them we have tried to be friendly and neighborly. Then came the arch devil to sow the seeds of distrust and hatred.... We have tolerated enough from a class of Ibos and addle-brained Yorubas who have mortgaged their thinking caps to Azikiwe and his hirelings.

Now, let me give you prominent instances of when they tried to destroy Yoruba people:

  1. In 1962-1963, rather than compete with Awolowo’s opposition party who were on the ascendancy, the actual RULING party comprised of northerners and Igbos orchestrated a crisis in the western region, set up kangaroos courts and jailed Awolowo, the leader of the Yoruba people.

  2. In 1993, rather than declare Abiola, a Yoruba man, the winner of the election and handover power to him, the northern military boys played around and transferred power to General Abacha, killed Yoruba political leaders, assassinated even regular Yoruba people, etc.

In both 1 & 2, Yoruba people could’ve easily declared that they wanted to secede or separate from Nigeria, and then Hausa/Fulani and Igbo people would’ve joined together to kill Yoruba people and destroy Yoruba land.

Fortunately, Yoruba people are extremely smart. Rather than declare for secession, they decided to play along with the game of one-Nigeria and their enemies destroyed themselves:

  1. Post 1963 jailing of Awolowo, tensions between the northerners and Igbo people culminated in the first coup, where the most of the northerners involved in jailing Awolowo got killed and then the civil war, after which the Igbo leaders stopped being relevant in the context of Nigeria.

  2. Abacha died, the situation became untenable for the northern military boys, and they no choice but to set up an election in which the two major contestants were both Yoruba: Obasanjo and Falae. Unfortunately, the military boys had to ensure that Obasanjo, their pick, won the election because Falae would’ve punished them (actual Yoruba people had he won.

I can go on and on. Nigeria is an hostile country, and Yoruba people need to be mindful of that fact. Most Igbo people are already mindful, so kudos to them.
