You forgot to mention the three wise men that visited Jesus Christ.

Don't you know that they were from the east. Typical Igbo men.

I'm proud to be a Benjamite. Same tribe with the Isreali PM Benjamin Nantenyahu

And the Yoruba's and Hausa's are not tribalistic? Infact, for making this comment, you are a tribalist!

Yes they are. I've mentioned it before. Besides, I didn't generalize. If only some of you could comprehend...

I still stand on my opinion. I should add tribal-hate to the list. Jeez!!!

Igbo parents ask for heaven and earth just to marry their daughters.they recently gave a friend of mine a list that contains so many things and all the school fees they paid for his. Ibo girlfriend from primary school up to the post graduate level.The guy has been really depressed since he saw that list.

I already gave him and advice that the best way to marry an Igbo girl is to just pump some sper.m into her and impregnate her wether with or without her concent.My friend is working towards that now.
may this your advice also be your portion Amen

There are two kinds of pride.
The first kind of pride is good, it is gotten through years of practice, studies, and self perfection. and it continues like this without end as it has to do with learning and gaining life experiences. it develops into self-confidence. this is also common and infact consistence among all Igbo people, like it is embedded in their genes (forgive me y'll, i hate the terms of using tribal names like Igbo, Yoruba etc, i classify all black people brothers and sisters of one another).

The second kind of pride has to do with or stems from anger, self-seclusiveness and lack of trust (all this is understandable, to me personally, it's nothing). However when one adds EGO to that self-confidence, it becomes a disaster. This ego is not natural to any Igbo person or any black person.

My definition of pride is SELF-CONFIDENCE + EGO. It applies to all people. My lovely brothers and sisters kick out ego with it pride.

DickDastardly:

Throw more light on this pride please!
I'm listening cool

I've witness the wholeworld analyse my Igbo brothers and sisters, and they found one problem prohibiting them from greatness. That is pride. Igbos are extremely wonderful people, but pride is their greatest and major enemy.

And other tribes in Nigeria have sent men to the space because they are humble, huh?
