IGBOS HAVE NO CULTURE!

IGBOS HAVE NO CULTURE!

Honorifics are sacred in other Nigerian tribes
Honorifics are profane in Igbo culture
Oba is a sacred honorific in Yoruba culture
Emir is a sacred honorific in Hausa culture
Tor is a sacred honorific in Tiv culture

Igwe is a profane honorific in Igbo culture
Any Igbo moneybag
Any Igbo nonentity
Any Igbo megalomaniac
Can use the honorific, Igwe, before his name

When a tribe trivializes its honorifics
Do you expect other tribes
To honor the tribe’s honorifics—No?
Imo, an Igbo state has over 700 recognized Igwes
And over one million self-proclaimed Igwes

Where every member of a tribe
Is an Igwe or Igwe-in-waiting
No one would accord any honor
To that tribe and its cultural institutions
When Igbos respect themselves others will respect Igbos.
