An account notorious for spreading bigotry on social media made a divisive post that read, “Igbo people hate being called Omo Igbo; they are not proud to be Igbo at all.” This statement is not only false but deliberately aims to fuel ethnic tension and stereotyping among Nigerians.
Such remarks create unnecessary hostility between ethnic groups, especially by implying shame in one’s cultural identity. Many Igbos proudly embrace their heritage and contribute significantly to Nigeria’s unity and progress. Posts like this thrive on misinformation and should be condemned, as they only serve to deepen tribal divisions rather than promote mutual respect and national cohesion.
