A Twitter user identified as @obeyamark has responded to a tweet by a lady who said she could never be with an Igbo man, because Igbo men cannot stand by their wives amid family or peer pressure..

The lady cited Prince Harry as a role model of what it looks like for a man to stand firmly by his wife despite all odd as she reiterated that she can never be with an Igbo man.

In response to this defamatory tweet against a Nigerian ethnic group, @obeyamark took time to respond to the tweet the lady made. While proving the lady wrong, @obeyamark cited an example of Peter Okoye whom he said fell out with his own twin brother because of his wife.

The Twitter user also went further to present more Igbo men that fought for their wives such as Rochas Okoro whom he also claimed got arrested while fighting to reclaim his wife’s property.

In the words of the social media user:
“Peter Okoye is Igbo. He left even his own twin brother.

Rochas is Igbo. He even got arrested while fighting to reclaim his wife’s property.
These are even popular and recent examples.

Just say “can never be my father/brothers/uncles…” next time.”

In Nigeria they’d call Peter Okoye woman wrapper… probably say his wife is using juju..
but prince Harry is d most supportive husband.

(They both are!)

Hypocrites!

Peter Okoye (Mr P) did more than Harry to protect his wife.

Fought his family and left them. Quarrelled with his twin. Scattered Psquare, a legacy world-beating successful music group for his wife.

But he was still villainized here by men and women. Is he not a Nigerian man?

Peter Okoye didn't receive this much support neither did Lola, infact she was vilified and called all sort of names. But now Harry and Meghan are your hero's, you see this thing called colonialism? E still dey

Peter Okoye was not celebrated this way for standing with his wife against his family. Why??

I mean the story kinda looks similar in a way.

When Peter Okoye chose his wife over his family, many of you said the wife was a home wrecker

But now that its Prince Harry choosing his wife over his royal family, you people are calling him a king

It is well
