Peter Obi while trying to discourage sterotypeing completely missed the mark.
"As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins". My goodness the hypocr'sy.
Now, has he criticized or cautioned the Igbos who also show discrimination towards other ethinicities online? No, I am yet to see that. His now running mate Kwankwaso faced a lot of backlash during the last elections with many throwing shades towards the Northerners as a whole. Did he speak up then? No.
If I also remember correctly, there was a time someone (Gaius Chibueze) who is known as Bitcoin Chief pledged millions to anyone who can show or name a non-indigene that has landed property in the South-East, and till date, no-one could name a single person to claim that money, which is over N10m. That speaks volumes. But the Igbos own lands across the nation.
Again let's not forget the JAMB saga involving Mmesoma and how many people were quick to make it a Yoruba issue, and later kept silent when it turned out that she lied. Isn't that another discrimination towards another region?
This is the same Obi who is yet to clear his name in regards to the Yes Daddy phonecall that raises questions of religious bigotry, which is another form of sterotype.
Addressing the issue and using your ethnicity to make a point when you haven't called out some of your own people who do the same is the height of hypocrisy.
This is a Nigerian problem, not perculiar to the Igbos or Fulanis; Every opportunity shouldn't be turned into a campaign tactic and if you must address an issue, don't be bias.
@StatiSense Go to the north and see quality road... Wetin delta and bayelsa dey use their oyel money do na? Kogi has been cursed since inception with bad leaders, so not a surprise... The shock here is Anambra... Kai.. I never expected it
@QualityQuadry They should take a moment and go to the stadium on Saturday morning to see the number of talents, the training, and the hustling. Not all of them will make it to even the NPFL. It's the same in Europe, but it's more difficult in Nigeria to become a pro...
Nigeria at the World Cup:
▪️Most goals scored by an African nation
▪️Most appearances by a West African nation
▪️Most wins by a West African nation
Hard to believe they won't be part of the biggest World Cup ever 💔

@abbeysadiku@daily_trust Most states in the north have good road networks and land for farming. For example, Niger State.... Would you recommend Zamfara as a place to go for tourism?
@DrJoeAbah It's plenty in Utako, Abuja, but because of the open defecation that was rampant then, I don't know about now... you won't be able to pick. Make uno go chop shit
