I tell you, in this country, I'll say it, everybody's afraid of the Igbo man. That is the truth. That's very plain. I will tell you, the Igbo phobia is real. And the Igbo man is not helping issues. To be humble about it.
I tell you, the superiority complex is a problem. You know, they feel that.
See, I tell people, if I have something to do with an Igbo man, I don't sleep. I don't. Because I know he's not sleeping. I can tell you the only place an Igbo man can edge me out. Guess where?
Where?
Do you know where an Igbo man can?
No.
The Igbo man can't edge me in terms of thinking faculty or whatever. I'm not saying that, you know, we have levels of intelligence in life. There are some who are high up there. I know there are some Igbos that I can never, ever get to where their intelligence is. I mean, those geniuses, you understand my point.
But on my own level, my own level, Igbo man like me, see me, I see you. You can't beat me in anything. But where the Igbo man can beat any human being on this earth is risk-taking. The Igbo man is ready to cross a river, a crocodile-infested river.
He is ready to cross it with just a stick of broom tied. You know, they use thread tied, stick of broom tied. They use it to cross. Igbo Man would cross that water. Igbo Man would take this down.
No human being. I'm telling you, even an American would not take this kind of fate down. Igbo Man would pass faith down, not be faith. Now, it must happen. You understand? They say, ah, they take drugs.
They don't go there. They are fighting. Well, the Igbo man is going there to sell nose masks to them. He will go inside and walk from transit. So the Igbo man is blessed. And I keep on telling them that they don't understand that.
If they understand, they are the true Nigerians. The Igbos are the true Nigerians. They are the owners of Nigeria if they understand. They don't need to flex their muscles because everybody is scared.
Now the Igbo man is tough. He's an enterprising man. He has this, he has that. You come give am power join. How you wan take manage am? All of us will be slaves. That is a bitter truth. Nobody wants to say, but I'm telling you,
