The Igbo tribe
In Nigeria, there are three main ethnic groups and they are, Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa and sadly I fall uder the Igbo tribe. You might be wondering why I said "sadly" but the truth is that I've come to realize that amongst the three ethnic groups, the Igbos are the only ones who don't belive in togetherness and unlike the Hausas who belive in unity abd helping one another, the Igbos don't.
I've seen multiple occasions where people from the Igbo tribes have betrayed their brothers due to their greed for money and all sort of things, unlike people from the other tribe (especially the Hausa tribe), who have one spirit and work together.
Few years ago, myself and my family had moved into a home that was owned by an igbo man, a man whose brother was a close friend to my dad back then. We had moved into that home about nine years ago and everything was cool between my parents and the landlord, when all of a sudden we received a quit notice from the caretaker, the man who was also my dad's friend. I didn't know it at the time but it turned out the owner of the home we were living in, was the brother to the caretaker.
I wasn't at home when the whole thing happened but based off of the information I got from my family during the entire process, I realised that when it comes to unity and helping each other as a fellow tribesman, the Igbo tribe is the least on the list.
When in an inconvenient situation, the Hausa man would do all he can to help his fellow Hausa man to make sure that he gets out of whatever difficult situation their brother might be in, the same applies to a yoruba tribesman, unlike the Igbo tribesman who would rebel against his fellow tribeman.
Personally, I've had first hand experiences of these things (because I'm based at the east which is mainly dominated by the Igbos), where I see people who are suppose to act as my brothers, working with other people while trying to scam me, meanwhile, those other people from other tribes wouldn't do the same with their fellow tribesmen.
This is why I still feel like we the Igbos aren't ready for the independence that we keep on asking from the government because we're not even ready to be united as one, not to talk of becoming a country of our own.
It is known that Unity is strength. When we are separated, we are easy prey for others. It is nice to know about Ethnic Groups in Nigeria. It is not our sin if we are born into a bad tribe so don't be sad about it. I agree we should not scam our fellows when we are working with them. I hope, Igbo tribe will change with time.
I generally don't think my tribe is a bad one, I just feel like there are certain areas where we definitely can do better.
See finish oo 😂, prayzz just finished our tribe...lolz
You know I have lived in lagos state for about 10 years now and I see how the yorubas corporate, I also see how the hausas do things in togetherness and that leaves me in awe
We the Igbos hardly do such randomly except for our blood relatives most times....
I hope we do better as individuals in bringing unity amongst ourselves
Nkem, this is so not true!
Mummy sadly, this is BS. I really don't agree or believe this.
Why you and @justfavour following me up and down oo 😃
Because it's not true and you know 🙂
Maybe it doesn't happen all the time but I've seen more cases of Hausas standing for their brothers than that of Igbos and I'm currently in the east.
I have seen it several times too.
Igbos do help too sometimes but I haven't seen that strong togetherness like the hausas
It's really sad to be honest because at the end of the day it just feels like we the Igbos are alone, while everyone else are working together.
Nah true talk my dear, it's true that I'm an Igbo but I must say we are very far from unity and love when compared to other tribes
@prayzz you don cast us oo.🤦🤦😂😂😂
Lol. I've been in the east for a while now and some of the things I see us do annoys me. Even the Hausas oppress us here because they work together and we don't.
