Between Arise Tv anchors, Reuben Abati and Ojy Okpe over his story about Igbos not selling land to other indigenes
It all started on Thursday November 21 when Abati shared the story of how a former Minister who had an Igbo wife and daughter had intended to build a house for himself in the East but was unable to achieve this as he was told by his Igbo inlaws that they do not sell land to non-indigenes.
Abati’s story generated a heated debate online. While some Nigerians affirmed the claims of the said Minister, others, particularly Igbos, discredited it saying it is a lie and that persons from other tribes and regions purchase lands in the South East and have gone ahead to build homes in the region.
This morning, Ojy had in the course of the show, asked Abati for his reaction to the backlash he received from a section of social media users who believe the story he shared attempted to use a single story to paint a whole tribe bad. Abati was not having it and he did not hide his anger and displeasure.
