In a captivating interview on Kaakaki, a prominent southeast politician, Chief Dan Ulasi, asserted with unwavering belief that no other Nigerian tribe exhibits a deeper love for the nation than the Igbos.
Chief Ulasi vehemently underscored the Igbo people’s profound commitment to Nigeria, citing their substantial investments and unwavering efforts towards integration throughout the country. He emphasized that their love extended beyond mere economic endeavors.
According to Chief Ulasi, the Igbos’ practice of marrying local women and bestowing local names upon their children wherever they settle is a testament to their genuine desire for unity and cohesion with the broader Nigerian society. He drew parallels with esteemed figures like Zik and Dr. Chike Obi, highlighting the significance of such actions in fostering national harmony.
“I state this unequivocally: no other tribe loves this country more than the Igbos,” declared Chief Ulasi. “Wherever we establish ourselves, we not only invest, but we also embrace local customs by marrying local women and naming our children after them. Zik exemplified this, as did Dr. Chike Obi. His son, one of the nation’s most brilliant minds, bears the name Mustapha. In contrast, it is rare to find a Northerner naming their child Okeke Okafor. We are deeply embedded in every corner of this country.” CONTINUE READING
