Omo Igbo: When Identity is weaponised
from Soulful_convos w Khristen · host Khristen
The world talks about racism — skin color, foreign accents, immigration. But here in Nigeria, it’s not always about race. It’s tribalism. The Yoruba calling out the Igbo, the Hausa mocking the Yoruba, the Igbo stereotyping the Hausa. Words like ‘Omo Igbo,’ ‘Aboki,’ don’t just describe — they divide. This episode unpacks how language turns identity into insult, and why tribalism is Nigeria’s own version of racism.
