This is deeply embarrassing.-Zara Onyinye

If I talk now...they will say I hate my tribe, but how do you expect me to keep quiet when we are constantly not striving to be better? This is deeply embarrassing. Once again, Nigerians — particularly the Igbo community — are the subject of protests, this time in Ghana. This is troubling on many levels. From South Africa to Malaysia, the UAE, India, and now Ghana — it can't always be us at the centre of controversy. Yes, we are brilliant, enterprising, and resilient. But increasingly, we are seen as brash, insensitive, and at times, lawless. This pattern demands urgent self-reflection. We must pause for some honest soul-searching. Something is clearly wrong, and we can’t keep acting as though the world must bend to accommodate every of our excesses. To our Ghanaian brothers and sisters: we hear you. Let’s engage, not antagonize. Mutual respect and dialogue must guide our interactions. Enough of the arrogance on our part — even the tallest horse must eventually touch the ground. It’s time to correct our course. For our own dignity, and for the image of Nigeria across the world. Ndi igbo...it is time to tell ourselves the honest truth so that we can do andact better going forward
