Igbo men are generally insufferable and very misogynistic, subtly or not. You'd be lucky to find one who isn't.
I actually don't know who's worse between them and men from the north.
At least, the Northern ones like to marry women who can manage their rubbish. Igbo men? Lol
She added:
They'll want to marry a woman with a mind and spirit of her own then "tame her" or "call her to order".
The obsession with being in control is wild.
If you're lucky enough to find one who isn't, hold on to that unicorn tightly.
Her tweet got support from other Igbo women but Igbo men were not happy about the generalization and they called her out for it.
Below are the tweets and the replies they generated.
Solomon Buchi, a life coach, said it is wrong to stereotype but pointed out that stereotypes sometimes have truths in them. He then went on to point out facts that make him agree with the controversial post accusing Igbo men of being control freaks.
He accused Igbo men of acting like "demigods" when they have money and forcefully trying to turn their wives to housewives. He said they see women as the "lesser gender" and are obsessed with male children.
He started the thread by writing: "If I say that Igbos are hardworking, a lot of y’all will nod and agree with me. But if I say that Igbo men are typically misogynistic, you bash and cuss me out. Why would you agree to a conclusive positive statement and not take criticisms that way too?"
