“The Hate Towards Igbos In Nigeria Is Real, I Feel For Them” – BBNaija Star, Pere Egbi

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Pere Egbi has decried the widespread “hate towards the Igbo tribe” in Nigeria.

In a post shared on his Twitter page, the reality star lamented the “unfair” treatment of the Igbo tribe by the political class, narrating he almost slapped a politician who said, “an Igbo person can never rule Nigeria”.

“The hate against the Igbos in Nigeria is real. I AM NOT even Igbo or Yoruba or Hausa and I feel for them. Someone who is in politics once told me that “an Igbo person can never rule Nigeria”. If say Jesus no hold my right hand that day, I for slap am.

“Online I see lots of hate toward the Igbo tribe. This is coming from people within the political space. We have a serious problem in Nigeria and we need to be honest about it and face it head on. This is unfair,” Pere Egbi wrote.
