70% percent of Nigeria scrapes by with under $1 a day, and poverty rates keep skyrocketing amid falling oil prices and civil unrest in the South South, Religious extremism in the North, inter-ethnic tensions between Fulani Herdsmen and settler communities, and more recently, Militant attacks in the South West.

An offshoot of the times are the numerous "crimes of poverty" such as we see with drug lords and mules from the South East, proliferation of ritualistic murder for cash in the South West, Sex trafficking in the South South, and children being sold for food in North.

With all of these coming to a head, it is a wonder why Igbos are especially singled out to listen to "bitter truths" as if their problems are the only thing keeping Nigeria from progress.

Why for instance, are Igbos accused of hating, say, Yorubas, because of social media comments when Yorubas are equally guilty of doing the same thing and when other groups have demonstrated far worse intentions to them in real life compared to Igbos?

Why are Igbos accused of planning to appropriate the Mineral wealth of the Niger Delta when overwhelming evidence points to other groups that have done FAR WORSE than this?

There are many more whys but the short gist of this: Nigeria has far too many problems but the boogey man that keeps political d*icks erect is "Igbo hatred of others" and the phantom need to keep "telling" them the bitter truth as if they are the only ones in need of this of something.

Adaure4ever's recent threads and comments got me thinking, because if anything Igbos are far less likely to retain tribalistic leanings than the other two major groups.

I have never seen a "verified" Yoruba or Hausa Moniker open "let me confront them with their misdeeds" threads in Nairaland despite the barrage of nastiness prevalent in the SW and North.

Minorities are another matter: as Igbos they tend to suffer a degree of self-loathing that manifests when the usual South Southern suspects open Nairaland threads...

But they don't attract the level of hatred reserved for Igbos in particular.

There are incidents of all of the crimes I mention in the South East (just as in other parts of the country) but not in the degrees as I have "stereotyped" in each region.
