President Buhari conferred with the title of Ochioha NdiIgbo 1 by South East traditional council of rulers led by Eze Eberechi Dick during his visit to Ebonyi State on 14th Nov 2017
By Anthony Ogbonna
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State had, yesterday, said that the Igbo alone cannot make or produce a President of Igbo extraction when the time comes. Governor Okorocha had also claimed that the Igbo do not honour their own.

Those comments have, however, generated reactions on social media, especially on the micro-blogging site, Twitter.

Many have however disagreed with Okorocha on different terms, pointing out qualities that make the Igbo nation most unique.

Really ?, I’m not aware of this and I think this only applies to most Igbo people living in Lagos.

Why I love igbo’s.
They settle down in all 36 states an an indigenous person of each place.
They are 2nd in volume in any zone Diff from theirs.
They hustle to survive and they pay taxes.

Igbo don’t have oil, Igbo is landlocked, Igbo can’t survive as a country. But let the Igbos go, mba, mba, mba.

This is not about believing Rochas,
Igbo’s are the first people criticising this man. This is not right,
You say Igbo’s don’t need presidency, so why #IPOB— Adisa Opeyemi (@Niceyemm) 13 August 2018

And who is talking about war here? You people are so blood thirsty that the 9nly thing that comes to your mind against Igbos are “war”. Fight the one in your doorstep already. Fulani is decimating your people from north central eg Kwara. Igbos are not your enemy

Igbo Enwe Eze is an adage deeply ingrained in Igbo history & Culture, & since Igbos dont have Kings, where did these non existent ‘Ohaneze Igbo Kings’ spring up from??

Igbo parents: don’t trust Yoruba/Hausa people
Yoruba parents: don’t trust Igbo/Hausa people
Hausa parents: don’t trust Yoruba/Igbo people
Rest of the world 🌎 : don’t trust Nigerians.
