Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has triggered conversations online following his candid remarks about the political nature of the Igbo man.
Speaking during a recent interview with Afia TV, the revered actor said Igbo men are not naturally good politicians because they are not wired to tolerate betrayal, which he believes is a major part of politics.
“An Igbo man is not a good politician. And I will tell you why: people who are used to politics or the treachery that characterised politics, can overlook a lot of things. But the Igbo man is not constituted to condone treachery a second time,” he said.

Edochie explained that once an Igbo politician feels betrayed, it is difficult for him to trust again or continue any form of alliance.
“If you hurt the Igbo man once in politics, he will never give you an opportunity to hurt him again. He will recoil himself. That’s the average Igbo man,” he added.
He concluded by saying, “The Igbo man is really not constituted to sustain political treachery. The moment you exhibit treachery in your involvement with an Igbo man, they cut you off. That’s it.”
Edochie’s comments have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some praising his honesty while others criticized the statement as too general.
