Achebe talked about a term he called, The Igbo Problem and it's obvious on Twitter.

He said,
'Though they are boisterous and hard working, their individual pride may get in their way of development. Where they see themselves as competitors rather than compatriots' ...

In dragging and calling names, we might think it's just bants.
Deep in your heart, you know it's not.

I'm specific about this Igbo Sovereign Fund we want to begin.

When you discriminate amongst yourselves, people feel no need to come together to work for development.

They feel 'These ones would want to feel like they are the best or know it', so they don't participate.

I know what I'm saying.

Can we try and turn these bants to healthy conversations?

Can we try?

'Insult no dey for joke'

If Anambra or Imo or Ebonyi men are somehow, talk without insults and streamline the conversation to one that influences positive change.

If they say you are somehow, don't for the sake of winning the argument miss the chance of learning and correcting and growing.

We would begin our Crowd Funding to develop Ala Igbo. We need every sense of unity we can muster.

We have joked enough about our differences, but help each other to actually grow. That's the leverage we have according to Achebe to defeat our sole 'enemy'
