Culture Is Not Criminality: Let’s Be Honest with Ourselves

We need to have an honest conversation. Why are we not speaking up about the fact that some ndi Dibia are preparing charms for kidnappers? Are we going to pretend that these criminals don’t tell them what the charms are for? If a Dibia knowingly empowers a kidnapper with charms to evade arrest, harm people, or succeed in their evil deeds, then that Dibia is just as guilty as the kidnapper.

This is why regulating the activities of ndi Dibia in Igboland is necessary. Governor Soludo is not fighting ndi Dibia or Igbo culture—he is fighting the bad ones among them. He never said people shouldn’t practice as Dibia; he only insisted that their activities must be monitored to ensure that no one is using their knowledge to aid criminals. And yet, some people, especially those who claim to be promoting Igbo culture, are twisting the truth and making it look like Soludo is waging a war against tradition.

Let’s be real—this is 21st century. We cannot practice everything exactly as our ancestors did. Times have changed, and so must we. Even in ancient times, Igbo society had rules and regulations. We always had ways to checkmate those who misused their power. Why should today be any different?

The sad part is that many people defending these bad ndi Dibia on social media are not even protecting Igbo culture—they are protecting criminals without realizing it. Some of them don’t even understand the deep values of our culture; they only see it as something to exploit. And the truth is, even criminals are online, commenting and pushing narratives that make it look like Soludo is the enemy—just to keep themselves safe.

I love Igbo culture. I promote our traditions, our people, our heritage. But I will never support anything that destroys our land. Being Igbo is not about backing criminals; it is about upholding values of honesty, hard work, and justice.

At the end of the day, nobody can destroy Igbo culture. Our language, our food, our way of life—these things are our identity. But we must stop confusing culture with crime. Preparing charms for criminals is not our culture. Defending wrongdoing in the name of tradition is not our culture.

So before you join the crowd attacking Soludo, ask yourself: Are you really standing for Igbo culture, or are you unknowingly standing with criminals? The future of Igboland depends on our ability to call out evil, no matter where it hides. Let’s separate culture from crime—for the sake of our people and the generations to come.
