After observing some Igbo people carefully, I took adequate
note of the way they reason, listen to their point of views, understood their
fears and worries and seek to understand their unending quest for dominance,
under the guise of self determination or lack of justice in Nigeria.
I came to the following conclusion:
1. There are two kind of Igbo. We have the Igbo and
sectional Igbo. The Igbo person will always think global even if he his the
most local, while the sectional Igbo will always reason sectional even if he
his in the global community. To an igbo person, there is no superiority or
inferiority, all that exists is equality. But to the sectional Igbo, Igbo is
superior, others are inferior.
2. An Igbo person is the best of any human you can find, but
the sectional Igbo is the worst of all human. It doesn’t matter how much they
are educated, what mattered to a sectional person is his sectionalism. But this
is not just about Igbo, it’s a symptom in every tribalistic person. Every
sectional person, be it an Hausa or Yoruba are worse of all humans. At a time
when the global community is integrating and finding means of getting more
united, it is a sad thing that in Africa,especially in Nigeria which should
serve as model for other African countries, we still have people who think the
only means of integration and self determination is causing division. No wonder
Africa remain backward.
3. Igbo is cool, calm, reasonable and often reserve,when you
meet one, he or she is a treasure to behold. But the sectional igbo is arrogant
and sometimes unreasonable, they are the lousy type who makes unnecessary noise
to get undeserved attention.
4. Igbo hates tribalism, but sectional igbo is proud of his
tribalism. He his not only discriminatory against other tribes in Nigeria, he
his equally discriminatory to his fellow igbo whom he considers as lesser igbo.
E.g, A sectional igbo from Anambra would discriminate against Igbo from Imo.
5. The most unjust Nigerian is a sectional Igbo, who hide
under self determination to cause the death of over 2million Igbo’s without tendering
any apology or showing sign of remorse, yet still nursing the ambition of
leading more igbo to cause disobedience of the state. While he and his families
are safe, he calls the gullible poor to the war front in his quest for fame,
popularity and to grab power at all cost using the blood of his poor tribal men
and women..
6. Kill a whole elephant for a sectional igbo to eat, he or
she may still accuse you of marginalizing igbo for failing to give them the
snail.
8. Criticize the wrong action of an igbo, you would be tagged a hater of the tribe, but if other tribes commit similar wrong doing, sectional igbo will be the first to criticize it.
9. If Igbo cheat to win, it is fine by sectional igbo, if he his cheated, heaven must fall
10. Igbo superiority only exist in the tongue of the sectional igbo, while their practice is inferiority per excellence.
11. Sectional Igbo talk like Kings, think like slaves
12. The only tribe that hates Igbo is the sectional Igbo. They are ready to sacrifices uncountable lives of fellow igbo’s to pursue unrealistic agenda, then blame others for the consequence.
13. The most irrational Nigerian is a sectional Nigerian, he or she could be Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba or other tribes.
14. Biafra is not a quest for self determination, it is a quest by greater injustice to dominate little injustice. Biafra is not a quest to end igbo marginalization, it is a quest to intensify the marginalization of the poor by the cruel rich.
15. Never judge an Igbo person with the foolish action of the sectional Igbo. They are two set of people. The Igbo is a good tribe, with some bad element. Just as we have in other tribes like Yoruba, Hausa etc. I LOVE IGBO, I LOVE NIGERIA
