The Enemy Of An Igbo Man Is His Brother – Everton Edeh

Another reaction to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s statement read, “The enemy of an Igbo man is his brother.” This comment, though seemingly reflective, carries a divisive undertone. It suggests that internal betrayal or disunity is the primary reason for the challenges faced by the Igbo people, rather than examining the broader political and systemic factors at play. Such comments can deepen distrust within a community, fueling resentment instead of encouraging unity and constructive dialogue. While disagreements may exist among leaders, reducing complex political realities to self-hate narratives only weakens collective progress and distracts from the pursuit of justice and fair representation.
