Ndigbo
The reason ndigbo are allegedly hated by other tribes in Nigeria was on Wednesday revealed by the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo.
He made the revelation while insisting that the challenges facing the Igbo nation have not been addressed.
Nwodo spoke at a two-day Igbo Day Celebration in Owerri, at the Imo State palace of the Traditional Rulers Council. The event was hosted by the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha.
According to Nwodo, the solution to the challenges in the country would be to restructure Nigeria completely.
Said he: “Restructuring Nigeria will end the marginalisation in the South-East and South-South part of this country.
“This problem which started for decades have not been addressed by successive governments and it is the reason for which we are experiencing these levels of agitations in the country.
“Ndigbo have had and are still having unmitigated hatred from other tribes in Nigeria as a result of their industry and perseverance.”
