“Record me well; it's time to start poisoning the Yoruba and the Benin. Put poison in all your food at work. Put poison in your water, so that you all die one by one.”
In response, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, through a statement released on Wednesday, August 29, by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Alex Ogbonnia, noted that while the video could have been dismissed as the ramblings of a "deranged individual" or another fictitious online narrative, the concerns expressed by others made it necessary to address the issue, The Punch reported.
Ohanaeze questions tribal identity of woman
Questioning the identity of the woman in viral video, Ohanaeze said:
"Firstly, there is no clear evidence to suggest that the woman in question is Igbo. Her actions do not align with the Igbo characteristics of thoughtfulness, discretion, self-restraint, and calmness.
"No Igbo person would consider causing harm in a crowded market, knowing it could affect innocent people.
"Moreover, the Igbo people are known for their extensive travels, more so than any other African ethnic group.
"They establish homes wherever they go, integrate with local communities, and contribute to the development of every place they reside."
The organization reminded the younger generation that the Igbo, Edo, and Yoruba people share many similarities, including cultural ties, worldview, language structure, and a tradition of hospitality, Leadership reported.
