If you're jobless enough to go through my posting history, I have sparred with just about every notorious anti-Igbo Yoruba moniker plenty of times here. I reserved the silliness (of smearing me to be what I'm not) to some of the smaller minded trolls of the site. I thought you were better than that but clearly not. I have been claimed to be all sorts of monikers on here for years. Some weeks ago, one claimed I'm laudate. The amusing thing is how clever the claimants feel announcing their discovery, with no self-awareness as to just how comical they look


Going by your narrow,shallow and juvenile logic about Ndiigbo. You should also reflect on why every single patriotic Igbo person on NL believes you are an Afonja.
I mean, if every single one of us think you are an Afonja and link you to notorious Igbophobic Afonja monikers on NL , surely we can't all be wrong, right? This is me applying your logic about why all Nigerians resent Ndiigbo and why they must be right.
I'm not jobless, I just have a very sensitive radar that raise Red flags whenever an Igbo impostor or hater is around, no matter how subtle they want to be, and your posts raise all the alarms in my Igbophobia radar. You stick out like a sour thumb.



Yes, I am more critical about Igbos than I am other groups. This is especially because I care more about Igbos than other groups. Just as I'm more critical of my family and expect more from them than outsiders. There is a subtle difference between patriotism and nationalism. The former is self-reflective and self-critical and is a product of sincere devotion and a desire for self-improvement. The latter is self-aggrandizing, and boastful, and myopic and altogether darker. Many Igbos here, especially my Anambra kin, are more of the latter. Crude exhibitionism and mindless chestbeating all the time. You would try to push the notion that all groups are the same, but they aren't.

No, you should face your group and leave Igbo criticism for Igbos, nobody invited you.
Crude exhibitionism is a deep Yoruba trait. That's why we hear things like " the most educated tribe", "the most sophisticated tribe ", "the builders of tallest building", "Osun IGR is bigger than those of all SE states combined", "endless Owambe parties to celebrate little wealth", the list are endless. Face your people and leave Ndiigbo alone.
I have never for once pushed that all groups are same, if o so I wouldn't be an advocate of independent Igbo nation, seeing as I believe in distinctiveness of Igbo nation from the rest of Nigeria.

I think Fulanis for example are a uniquely blood-thirsty group in Nigeria. Yet, every Fulani I encounter on social media pose as the victims of regular provocation and would never admit any violence is their fault. They never seem to ask themselves why they are the only ones warring with every community they share with others. But they believe it's always someone else fault. Igbos are uniquely famed among Nigerian groups for an abrasive arrogance that rubs others the wrong way. Like the Fulani example, people like you never seem to ask yourself why others harbour such an impression about Igbos: doesn't matter whether it's Northerners, Middle Belters, Yorubas, South-South ethnicities, even Igboid groups (and even among Igbos, Anambrarians have the reputation).


This is the Yoruba in you manifesting. You are yet to establish How Igbos chestbeat more than other groups, and you are already running to compare Ndiigbo to Fulani herdsmen who go about murdering people?
How do you sleep at night?
Fulani herdsmen killings can be established, we see evidence of ransacked villages, killed villagers and injured people they leave in their wake. What you tried to do with this comparison is to subtly present Ndiigbo as dangerous lot who are similar to murderous Fulani herdsmen, hence justifying the resentment from other Nigerians towards Ndiigbo. How much more mischievous can you get. You have even outdone your Yoruba self.


At best, you'd claim it's simply because of "jealousy" (like your absurd comments about Aniomas the other day). Yet you don't see to ask yourself why Yorubas, the most accomplished tribe in Nigeria (argue with your ekuke) don't seem to attract this level of animus from other groups. Achebe himself would assert this when he said "...Nigerians would come to no common consensus other than their common hatred for the Igbo man...". There is blame to go around, but plenty of that blame boils down to the uncouth, brash arrogance of many Igbos and their supremacist rhetoric.

Of course, we had established why Nigerians hate Ndiigbo. Even Achebe you choose to quote out of context highlighted it thus:

the origin of “the national resentment of the Igbo” to its culture that “gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society.”

What culture was Achebe speaking of?
Achebe clarifies more :

He observed that the Igbo culture’s emphasis on change, individualism and competitiveness gave his ethnic group an edge over the Hausa/Fulani man who was hindered by a “wary religion” and the Yoruba man who was hampered by” traditional hierarchies.”

That's the culture of Igbo that draws resentment from Nigerians, not unsubstantiated arrogance you speak of, which other groups exhibit more than Ndiigbo.

Go all over Nigeria and see Ndiigbo doing menial jobs other Nigerians can never do,, out of pride. Dickson of Bayelsa was complaining of how his Ijaw people all sold the menial jobs he provided for them in Bayelsa to Igbos
Arrogant people don't do menial jobs. No group is more likely to pick up humble job to earn a living, more than the Igbo man.

Lol! Even now, your Afonja arrogance and empty boasts still stands. Here you are chest beating and telling how your Afonja people are the most accomplished Nigerians .
Why your people don't draw resentment from other Nigerians like Ndiigbo to?
It's multifactorial. Rudolph Okonkwo article which I posted earlier had done justice to that question.
This quote below is also relevant

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd".

Bertrand Russell


“ Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear".

Bertrand Russell

Ndiigbo culture which Achebe already buttressed makes us standout like sour thumb from other Nigerians wherever we are. We don't do herd mentality, we are too individualistic, too competitive. It draws fear from other Nigerians, which they express as Igbophobia.


If it makes you feel better to believe I'm some "afonja" or whoever posing as an Igbo man, that's your prerogative. It's a losers argument though. You'd be better of sticking to calling me an efulefu as you've always done. Calling me afonja or whatever would not change a hair on my head. I'd still wake up tomorrow the son of an Oraukwu man and Agulu woman regardless what some anonymous comedians on the internet decide to call me.


Your non Igbo nature doesn't make me feel better or bad, it's just what it is, and nothing you say or do can change it. It's in you like peak milk. You know, that unbridled Yoruba arrogance that go around shouting about how they are the most sophisticated, educated, accomodative, bla bla bla. The innate Igbophobia that oozes out, no matter how hard you try to hide them.

Yea, Pazienza is a Yoruba man, a real Omoluabi, my Mother is from Arigidi town in Ondo, while my dad is from Aba Arokun in Ekiti state.
See, that's how ridiculous you sound with your Igbo origin claims.

If the Ikwerre joins you to do what?
Don't worry, keep accepting every dick and Harry cos you likened your state to that of a homeless child looking for who to claim him.

So, it's now up to the Ikwerre to be Igbo today, be Ikwerre tomorrow and become Igbo the next?

From the little I saw when I went home in 2016, things are getting right. The Igbo man is programmed to progress, that's why I support our Jewish descent story. The only problem we have is federal presence. I heard that the Onitsha express has been abandoned and now impassable by buharri FG.

I don't care about people responding positively or negatively to my posts.
You don't seem to get it.

All I care about is that Ndiigbo be presented in good light and when/if there be need for criticism, let it be a genuine constructive one. Not one built to elevate and justify distortions about Ndiigbo, which our enemies propagate, while doing everything possible to suppress our numerous positive traits.

Before Achebe offered his constructive criticism about Ndiigbo, he first and foremost praised Ndiigbo, then he condemned our detractors, and thereafter, offered his constructive criticism.
See the flow here :

1.Praise of Ndiigbo
2. Condemnation/Vilification/criticism of Igbo detractors by exposing their lies against us
3. Constructive criticism of Ndiigbo

You raise alarm bells in head, when all you have is destructive condemnation of Ndiigbo, while you try to wave off all our attempts to get you to condemn and criticize our detractors, by telling us that they we shouldn't talk about their own faults, which outweighs ours.

Is that how things are done?

Destructive condemnation of ndigbo? Just because I raised the notion of the need for Igbo to go stealth rather being arrogant and noisy about their achievements? You raise unnecessary storm in a teacup.

You are not as knowledgeable as some (or perhaps, your other monikers) may claim.

You are just an attention seeker.

You always use derogatory words on Igbos to appear politically correct to other Nigerians. Talking about how Anambra did this and that, are you aware that a certain guy here uses more than 30 handles. On 1stOctober you were rolling in the mud with one of his handle by name bestview where he set a trap for you and you cheaply fell in. This is a faceless forum and your not new here, so why believe that all the handles that attack other Igbo States while claiming Anambra are truly Anambrarians?
