The tribal fight between Nigerians is not ending anytime soon as there are always cases online where a party has to draw the tribal difference card. Yesterday, Nigerian news agency @yabaleftonline posted a picture of a 15-year-old Nigerian who excelled in his JAMB examination. The examination is held for students ready to enter the tertiary level. The young kid who was listed by @Yabaleftonline was said to have scored 99% in the mathematics examination. Users took to the comments section to heap praise on the young genius.
A Nigerian lady on the microblogging platform Twitter identified as @Mzwayne007 who did not find the headline of the news posted by @yabaleftonline appealing decided to attack. According to her, they should have posted along with his name and they didn't add his name because he is not from the Igbo tribe. Read her caption below;
“Call his name. Write out his name. Don’t hide it because he’s Igbo”.
Her assertions sparked a lot of conversations and users took to the comments section to address her criticisms, a few of which are highlighted below;

“Thunder fire all of you coming for her. If it was drug-related issues them for write his name in full. Allow igbos sing their praises please. All you low self-esteemed bigots should get a life”.
@iamemperOr.
“Portugal If we check this thing well, It's the Igbos
themselves that are the real tribalistic bigots but
they'd rather play the victim card”.

“I mean calling his name is the least they can do.
If they can go as far as telling us his age, why not
his name? Which is his identity”.

“When everything becomes tribal to you... you might need to check yourself because, I don't understand this madness”.
