I notice that a poor Yoruba boy in the slums of Agege can be extra confident and pompous because his uncle or brother is rich. They don't care whether they themselves are in penury. Same with most Hausas. Some even go as far as telling you that their poverty is "the will of God." The average Igbo man that has a rich relative has long accepted that he himself is poor, and works towards self-actualisation. This is the microcosm of Nigeria's bleak political atmosphere. The South West and North perceive Ndigbo support of Peter Obi as support of "my brother." Because that's how they approach "support." This is, in essence, a con of extreme communalism -- the sheep doesn't care for its own destruction as long as it can see other sheep with it at the butcher's.
