What is this coward thing Igbos people talk about. The only brave tribe in Nigeria are the Hausas and Fulanis. Na mouth Igbo and Yoruba get. Igbos talk as if they get any mind at all. The bravest Igbo man ran to cote d'voire during biafra war and left his people to be slaughtered, We know what happened to Diya. I am Yoruba that I've lived in the midst of Igbos, Yoruba and Hausas. The small Hausa man fears nothing. If he tells you he will kill you it does not take a second. All he needs is his dagger. Hausas don't run from you when you kill them. They will face you man to man. If you doubt me go and live in the North and stop spewing thrash in your enclaves here in the South. So I don't want to hear igbos talk about being brave, I know a brave man when I see one. Igbos too get mouth. 6 Likes |

angelawoko:so so right. Chimamanda is a wonderful writer but the manipulation of words can never change the reality of things. There are a number of subjective stuff she has written in the past that I do not in any way agree with. She talks about topical things like an average person and writes about them like a genius...but unfortunately her writings still does not erase the reality of things 6 Likes |

.....Nice write up i suppose with some annoying patronizing tone here and there ![]() ..my opinion of her piece?.. totally unnecessary at this point because she would only get accolades from her husbands people as expected but would receive loads of insults from Igbos. ..Folks are already insulting her and her marriage to a yoruba man...at the end of the day she would not have achieved jack but insults....all these playing to the gallery can be counter-productive ![]() ...i as an Igbo woman totally agree with Chimamanda Adichie any time,anyday without any apologies to anyone. ![]() 4 Likes |

An igbo woman married to a Yoruba man is automatically a yoruba woman. I see no sense in writing to Chimamanda save to tap from her popularity. Your writing was ok in the sense that we are all tribal and should rather put it aside but yet your undertone leaned too close to the yorubas but then again you're one of them now. Pls do send a copy to your king the oba of lagos. And I hope Wole Soyinka could write same to the Oba of Lagos. But then the yorubas don't correct each other publicly as igbos would do. 7 Likes |

[s] M17:[/s] My fellow countryman,abum ezigbo nwa Afo igbo. But d truth is that we should not be primitive n myopic in dealing with social issues of this nature. honestly, There is no need calling this lady names, cos she was very objective in her thoughts n letter.Truth be told, We all are guilty of "tribalism "initially I thought she's one of those hired writers to criticise Chimamanda's view but when I read further, I discovered that she had made her plea n blames appropriately so let's just embrace peace n hope that others ll follow suit. Every reasonable minded person ll condemn Oba's hate speech against d Igbos but let's not harbor it in our minds cos there's more to gain from peace than hate. And I ll advise our fellow countrymen from d north n South to shun hate n derogatory comments against any tribe for the interest of peaceful coexistence. Let's all preach love n Tolerance through our comments,utterances n actions. God bless Nigeria 5 Likes |

safarigirl: You have forgotten that Hausa/Fulani are in Lagos too and in large quantity yet you have not heard of such vices too. Not even a disagreement. Every tribe has its weakness and tribe. No tribe is completely good or completely bad. Igbo people should respect the land they live in QED just as Yoruba has been doing every where they go. 3 Likes |

Even the few who were antagonistic toward me, embrace me now, or are at least civil toward me. It didn’t make me any less dignified to understand better another man’s culture; it made me wiser, and stronger and more appreciative of the richness of our country. The flagrant disregard for other’s culture exhibited by many Nigerians is really bad! How do you expect to reason with someone unless you understand their worldview?....Ijeoma Omotade 3 Likes |
