“Na For Social Media Igbo People Dey Show Each Other Love, But In Real Life? Except You Are Rich, They Rather Buy You Drinks — Twitter User

A Nigerian Twitter user identified with the username @TheVolqx has sparked off tribal controversy on Twitter following a tweet he shared insinuating that Igbo speaking people from the Southeastern part of Nigeria only love themselves on social media but not in real life.

ABN TV reports that the twitter user, @TheVolqx who took to the micro-blogging platform on Thursday, May 14, 2020, also said that no Igbo man has ever done anything for him in his entire lifetime.

Sharing the tweet, Volqx immediately came under fire as most Twitter users from the region he attacked flooded his thread dragging him on the streets of Twitter.

But unperturbed Volqx stood his ground maintaining that he would only take his tweet down if any Igbo family relative or friend of his can prove they’ve once helped him financially.

“Na social media Igbo people dey show each other love, but in real life? Except you are rich, They rather buy you drinks, spray your money at your wedding than set you up with an opportunity that brings you to the same level as them. One sing Igbo person hasn’t done nada for me.”
