Igbo men
“I have your type at home”
demanding male children
grabbing their dead brother’s property and throwing his widow out
preventing their own widowed mothers from remarrying
killing their nurse wives abroad
stopping their wives from working/earning more.






Anytime you see a family with children in this order “





” I guarantee you 95% that it’s an Igbo family and they were just ‘trying’ for a male child.







There’s a reason why Igbo men are the most opposed to the elimination of the bride price culture. They would rather die than accept that their women aren’t mere property to be sold and bargained for.
Igbo women too
abusing their ‘maids’
abusing their children
giving their sons special treatment and being overbearing on their daughters
demanding male children from their daughters-in-law
Umu Ada torturing widows
all-round internalised misogyny.






It’s really amazing how Igbo women are some of the strongest and most successful women I know yet their internalized misogyny is so deep. The original patriarchy princesses.
