Igbos Are Not Fools, They Do Not Hate Themselves As We Thought –
Idris Abubakar, Dakata of Kano.
I think and believed in Nigeria today, Igbos love themselves more
than every other tribes..
If you see any Igbo rich business man, listen to his story how he
get to where he is today, he will always start with, I was a poor boy at home with
my parents when my uncle, brother, or relation took me and brought me to the
city to learn trade with him and finally settled me to start my own.
IGBOS ARE
1] You will see one Igbo man who has trained and settled more than
100 young men and all are doing well in their businesses.
2] It is only Igbo man that I have seen who would train a child
that is not his in schools up to the university level.
3] Only an Igbo man would send a relation abroad to go and find
means to survive without minding how much it cost him.
4] Every Igbo man want his brother to live comfortably and don’t
have to rely on others.
5] Igbo man would rather teach you how to catch a fish than to
give you already caught fish.
6] When an Igbo man marries, he takes good care of his wife and
children plus his wife’s relations unlike the other tribes that doesn’t respect
their wives.
7] My sister Murna has always said that she would love to marry an
Igbo man because they know how to take good care of their wives and those
related to her.
8] Igbo man, no matter what and where he maybe would always have
home at heart and wherever they see their people, they make themselves known.
9] Wherever they are, they would surely have Igbo meetings and
gatherings of their local governments people.
10] Igbo man would go to meetings every Sunday where they meet
with their people.
I wonder how anyone could say that Igbos don’t love themselves, In
fact we are jealous of Igbo people for how united and together they come all
the time. When something happen to one of them, they would come together and
assist. I have seen people from other tribes buried here when they died, but
when an Igbo die here they must gather and take the body home in solidarity.
Things Igbo people do together I have never seen in other tribes
in Nigeria. An Hausa or Yoruba rich man would never do anything to help you,
they rather be giving you 20 Naira every time they see you that is after you
must greeted them tire.
If Biafra goes away from Nigeria, I will be the first to apply for
their visa, I want stay with them very intelligent people, they know how to
make things happen. – Idris Abubakar, (The Dakata of Kano)
My Comment: Wow! this is indeed a true description of our people
as seen by others. Unfortunately, we ndi Igbo seem not to really appreciate our
uniqueness. May the good Lord help us. Amen
