Controversial actor, Yul Edochie, has called out the Igbo for being allegedly being full of envy and jealousy.
Without providing data or specifying who is and who is not, Yul in a recent IG opined that jealousy and envy was too common among the people.
He urged them to do better and to eliminate the jealousy and competition because only then would things improve.
He argued (stet): “Too much jealousy and envy amongst Igbos.
Why??
If you’re doing well as an Igbo person, your biggest haters are your fellow Igbo person. Sometimes even your family members. Igbos we need to do better. We’re great.
Stop the envy. Stop the competition. Things change when we address them.”
Netizens’ reactions (stet):
One Sabi Talk: “Forget the messenger and take the message, he’s saying the truth. Yorubas help themselves more than the Igbos. Take a good look at the music and movie industry, and you’ll understand even in politics, Igbos you people can do better oh.”
One Osdevices Officials wrote, “I no be Igbo man but I never had any regret marrying an Igbo woman. Igbo are nice people and for your post that happens everywhere in the world.”
One Ladyque wrote, “Coming from someone that left his Igbo brother to support another person. Yul, please.”
One Shugaboi Henry: “Close that your confused mouth and sense who told you that you are Igbo. Eat your corn in please if you want coconut too then ask for it.”
One Ralph New Revelation wrote, “This is not about the tr!be, this guy has lost his sense of belonging. Son a titled man can address issues like this in public without being tribalistic. From his comment, he’s No1 enemies of the Igbos.”
One Tenoverten Autos wrote, “Envy and competition is not an Igbo word. It exists everywhere. Coming from someone who allowed an envious Abi na competitive Igbo woman enter his marriage. Una mind no go touch ground for this internet.”
