WAIT A MINUTE! ...ARE YORUBA & OTHER NIGERIANS TRULY JEALOUS OF THE IGBOS or JUST A HANDFUL OF UNEDUCATED YOURUBA & FOOLS WITH INFERIORITY COMPLEX ARE JEALOUS OF THEM? Hear this from one of their Leaders- Divisive, aggressive, lies, hateful and deluded statement by idiotic Chukwuemeka Ezeife. “”Other Nigerian Tribes Are Jealous of Ndi-Igbo because we are more successful and build Mansions on their Lands.” Chukwuemeka Ezeife” I have no reason to quarrel with Fani-Kayode. There is a price for success. The Jews all over the world, even among their fellow Arabs, are symbols of success. That is how the Igbo are. In my address at the Ohajioku Lecture in Owerri, I told my people; the Igbo people that this is the time to make friends with other Nigerians. I tried to explain to my people, why some people resent them and are jealous of them, and what we have to do to counter that. Typically, an Igbo comes to a place like Lagos for example with an almost empty bag. He starts with a kind of menial job. After some time, he puts a kiosk somewhere, and in not too long a time, he builds a mansion and stays in front of his mansion exuding apparently more confidence than the original owners of the land. What do you think the original owners of the land will do? How would they feel?They will feel resentment. I tell my people, ‘look they are not resenting you, but they are comparing you with themselves. They get annoyed with you and start being jealous of you. If in addition to your success, you talk about your achievements with pride, like a typical Anambra man will do, that will make the host community even more resentful and jealous.’ What I’m saying is that Fani-Kayode has not done anything fundamental.All he has said is that the Igbo, who come to a bush and convert it to a town; the Igbo who build everywhere and develop everywhere are resented for their success by him and others. I think Igbo people must recognise this. I believe what we can do, which we have not been doing well enough is to put back what we make into fruitful philanthropic. For example, we shouldn’t have allowed the development of Almajiri in the North, as we trained our children, we should have taken those children from the streets and trained them. We have tried to do this, but we will see where we can make amendments in a society like this.” ~ Chukwuemeka Ezeife My take: If you are a Yoruba and proud...Can you stand the insults these people are passing on you and your people? How can a leader of an ethnic group be making a genocidal sweeping statement like this? *SMH* This shows these people have seen themselves as Nigeria Alpha & Omega- without them, Nigeria and Nigerians will not survive?
