ADDRESSING THE SCOURGE OF IGBOPHOBIA: A THREAT TO NATIONAL UNITY

Описание: What happens when prejudice becomes an unspoken language?
In this hard-hitting episode of Eastern Eye, we turn the spotlight on a subject that has simmered under the surface of Nigerian discourse for decades, IgboPhobia: the irrational fear, bias, and prejudice against the Igbo people.

Far from being just a social slight, IgboPhobia carries with it the weight of historical grievances, cultural misrepresentation, and economic exclusion. From old wounds dating back to the civil war to modern-day narratives of distrust, this phenomenon threatens not just Igbo identity but the very fabric of Nigeria’s fragile unity.

Tonight, our conversation is both urgent and necessary. Ọzọnkwụ Dr. Uche Nworah, a culture ambassador and teacher, joins us to unravel the roots of this prejudice. Together, we ask tough questions:

How did IgboPhobia creep into our national consciousness?

What are its consequences on integration, development, and trust?

And most importantly, how can Ndigbo and indeed Nigeria chart a new path toward reconciliation, inclusion, and nation-building?

This episode is more than a conversation, it is a mirror. A call for introspection, healing, and dialogue. Because until Nigeria learns to address IgboPhobia, the dream of true unity will remain half-fulfilled.

Stay tuned for a conversation that challenges stereotypes, debunks misconceptions, and dares to imagine a Nigeria where every tribe is valued and every voice matters.

Stay tuned as we unpack the data, the politics, and the path forward for the South East.
