From 'Biafran Boys' to 'Onye Spare Parts', Igbo twitter users own ethnic subs with their chests

When the Attorney-General of the federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami threw a jibe at Ndigbo by likening the ban on open grazing in the South by governors to a ban on spare parts business by Northern governors, he received loads of flak for the irresponsible comments. What he didn’t envisage, however, was the thousands of Igbo Twitter users who chose to own the sub with their full chests. Spare Parts business is a very important foundation upon which Igbo wealth was built, and using it to shame them was not going to make them angry anymore.

Malami is not the first person in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to publicly showcase the level of disdain the administration has for people of the South East.

In March, the chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, had described business owners and customers who heckled him for physically assaulting a guard at a popular plaza in Abuja as “Biafran Boys”.

President Buhari had shortly after being elected into office declared that those who gave him 97% will not be treated the same way as those that gave him 5%. During his first and only presidential media chat, when asked about the concerns raised by South Easterners, Buhari retorted “What do they want?.

Well, there is a generation owning the subs thrown at them by the Buhari’s administration, and they are doing it with pride.

Take a look..
