In this piece, REMMY NWEKE examines the connection of Igbophobia in Dr. Reuben Abati's controversial commentary on Ndigbo and land question and Internet backlash that followed with facts of the matter.
“The same Igbos who are so industrious, that they are all over and they do well in other parts of Nigeria, you go as a non-Igbo man to go and buy a land, you will be told that you don’t belong even as an in-law,” Dr. Reuben Abati on The Morning Show @Arise Tv, Thursday, November 21, 2024.
In spite of whatever context the above statement was made by Dr. Reuben Abati, most Nigerians and industry observers are divided with some tagging it an ‘epidemic’ proportion, due to the Igbophobic tendencies and controversies it have generated, especially on the social media.
