Well I've recently learned my maternal Great Great Grandfather was African American, and was a free slave who saved all his money and went to Jamaica because he couldn't deal with the racism. So I'm like 6% Akata grin

No wonder. That explains it all. I once had an Igala room mate in my first year in the university. I'm not surprised.

Its why I didn't bother counting your tribe among Igbo-friendly tribes in Nigeria given the way you guys took matchetes and guns to your hands over the Anambra-Kogi Oil issue and butchered hundreds of Igbos living at the Anambra border.
well u need to see how ur fellow igbos invaded igala land,damn! They are everywhere like flies.

And igbo man made away with my phone and N1,000 (I'LL NEVER FORGIVE NOR FORGET THAT BA..S..TARD) the phone repairer name is (nick.name) buzzy.brain.

My phone of 25K disappeared just like that sad ,that was 2yrs ago!

i don't doubt that.
but tyson beckford is not native african. he is jamaican with asian ancestry lol.
my point is that you cannot claim someone is from a region or tribe just based on features.

That's true

Last month, when I was working on coming to the UK, this Urhobo guy (he was supposed to be the Nigerian agent of the UK university I was coming to study in) collected thirty grand from me and promised me a colleague at the university was going to meet me at Birmingham Airport, house me for couple of weeks, assist me with enrolment and get me accommodation. I got his number from the University's website. Turns out he used to work as the university's agent in Nigeria. But when he left, the university didn't remove his number from the site. (Dunno why.)

A week before I was supposed to leave for the UK, he stopped picking my calls; my money was gone; it was obvious nobody was waiting for me at Birmingham; I don't know a soul in Birmingham, and he knew it. He didn't care! I had to quickly make another plan, and incur extra expenses.

SO I SHOULD REGARD ALL URHOBO PEOPLE AS CON ARTISTS BECAUSE ONE URHOBO MAN FU.CKED ME OVER, RIGHT?

My best friend, now studying in Texas, had a similar experience with a Yoruba agent. His experience was worse than mine. He lost two million naira.

There are bad people and there are good people. It's got nothing to do with tribe.

It's like one contributor said on this thread (or another thread, I don't remember): For some reason I don't understand, Nigerians are especially irked when igbos do the terrible things that would have been made light of if they were done by members of other ethnicities.

So because of that 1 experience, you now choose to generalize? I wouldn't even go into details about what my Igala room mate did to me. But never did I, as young as I was then, generalize that Igala people were flippant, rude, and diabolical based on some of the features this man exhibited in the room.
