Yorubas Are Jealous of Ndi-Igbo because we are more successful and build Mansions on their Lands. "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" ---- Chukwuemeka Ezeife (former governor of Anambra state)
