While most girls agree with this level, the men are unabashedly unrepentant with their egoistic and snarky responses.

If I say that Igbos are hardworking, lots of y’all will nod and agree with me. But if I say that Igbo men are usually misogynistic, you bash and cuss me out. Why would you conform to a conclusive optimistic assertion and not take criticisms that manner too?
First off, there’s actually an issue with selective stereotypes. Besides, stereotypes are stereotypes as a result of they’ve truths in them. We will say Yoruba folks love events. Hausas are hospitable and United. Igbos are hardworking and enterprise oriented. Yeah?
Now, in that very same gentle, there are sides to the positives too. Igbo men are extremely misogynistic; this isn’t tribalism. This isn’t fueling ethnocentrism; that is only a fact. If you name it a generalization then let’s have a look at our hypocrisy..
Nigerians will come on-line and say the police is hard, unhealthy and tyrannical in the direction of the residents. The police is generally painted in unhealthy gentle. Nobody remembers that’s stereotyping. There are freaking good police men however outnumbered by the unhealthy ones.
What am I making an attempt to say? When somebody calls out a tribe; criticizing them, don’t even come claiming its stereotyping as a result of all of us freaking stereotype and it’s not all the time unhealthy! We all know each stereotype has exceptions!
Do Akwa Ibom folks love canine meat? Yes! Many however then not ALL! Are Nigerian politicians corrupt? Most not all! What am I saying? There’s all the time one thing peculiar to a bunch of individuals! Good and unhealthy! Now again to the primary speak..
They normally really feel like they’re demigods particularly once they have cash; they really feel entitled to a woman and every little thing about her. Their ego is bloated and actually normally uncouth. This is the reality.
They’d let you know how they will feed you in disdain simply since you refused to conform to their proposal. They’d remind you the way they’ve somebody your mate that they’re taking good care of.
They’d get married to a woman and flip her to a housewife by power. Control you such as you don’t have a thoughts of your personal.
The Igbo conventional practices don’t assist. They have misogyny so entrenched in them. The woman is seen as a lesser gender. It’s prevalent with Igbos, the obsession with male kids is simply a lot.
And even when a there’s a woman baby, there are Igbo sayings like: “Nwoke bu ugwu nwanyi”. This signifies that a person is the dignity of a woman. Like saying a woman is incomplete with out a man.
There are many situations. Ask girls round you. Many of them will conform to you. I’m not saying all Igbos are this manner however belief me it’s tougher to make a typical Igbo man to contemplate gender equality than every other tribe.
We are very conventional. Always clenched to how our fathers did it. Always. Well, this isn’t a hate publish. This is a name out publish that we are able to do higher. There are good Igbo men who are progressive.
So yeah, Igbo men ought to try to be extra open and shed the stripes of misogyny. I do know it’s how we have been conditioned however you must make the distinction. Gracias!
