That's pretty wild, not even Nigerians in general but a specific tribe? I was kinda curious how that happened so I looked it up

The proclamation also acknowledged organised efforts to promote cultural awareness, particularly through the Igbo Day Festival Organisation, a nonprofit founded in 2022.

“Whereas, their vision is to be a thriving community that not only honours and promotes the rich heritage of the Igbo people of Nigeria in North Carolina, but also serves as a beacon of unity, support, and cultural pride”, it added.

Stein praised the Igbo community for their wide-ranging contributions across many sectors, noting their involvement in public service, entrepreneurship, health care, and civic engagement:

“Whereas, Igbos in North Carolina are involved in many charitable causes and have contributed to the economy; they have participated in elections and excel in various careers, including those working for the State of North Carolina and the federal government.

Basically instead of saying #BothSides and #VotingForThCouch they went out and made sure to impact their local politics and community. Probably paid some people off too if we being real.

And in less than 3 years they got the political change they wanted to see in their local community.

There's honestly a lesson here and it's that you should continue to not vote or participate in politics on any level.
