Sam xiu lee: What a funny thread,there is nothing wrong with being an ethnic tribalist,being a bigot is the main problem,Tribalism implies the possession of a strong cultural or ethnic identity that separates one member of a group from the members of another group. It is a precondition for members of a tribe to possess a strong feeling of identity for a true tribal society to form.yes so we should stop using tribalistic and instead say prejudice or as you implied being a bigot, great point that you made and Shymexx made. |

Biafra means anti-nigeria and anything that has to do with nigeria. If you believe in biafra, you automatically hate nigeria and her components @biafraqueen. @topic igbos and yorubas on nl are the two major groups that won't let the rest of nigeria rest without fighting eachother. If you also think its just online, then you're deluding yourself, let me give you tips, if you're outside Nigeria, then visit nigeriainfo.net, listen to their program hardfact when issues in nigeria are being discussed, you'd be shocked at how alot of callers view issues based on ethnic colouration. Also look at how 'bodies' support suspected corrupt officials just because of their names and origin. Wake up now, the major tribes are in no way happy with eachother and they're gradually pulling other tribes into this hate mess! |

ogugua88: @seanet01, Shut up you ugly thing! What is tribalism? Declaring Love for my people against some backstabbing, aggressive loudmouthed cave dwelling evolving apes? Really? I was told Seun's toothless dog is monitoring me? How can you possibly stop a man like me with soooooooo much money from posting here? With over 10 active monikers and ability to buy 1000000 Iphone 5s at ago? #NoWay! The longest time Mukina2 stopped me from posting here was 5 seconds and that was 4 years ago. What will I do, if you restrict Rhino.5dm from posting after this post? I will simply continue posting cos, I have 3 active monikers ON THIS THREAD ALREADY! 3 Likes |

ogugua88: Ogugua, you can talk because you are in the US. Go and speak to the Igbo guy that has a very high score in JAMB but is refused entry while the Northerner that failed woefully is allowed entry. Go and speak to Ijaw people whose land has been laid to waste by northerners that are only interested in taking oil. You just come and stay. You have never lived the Nigerian life. |

9jacrip: Why do you say Americans/Canadians and then compare with Igbos? Is Igboland a country? Why don't you compare Americans with Nigerians? Or has your typical food affected you to the point of no logic? Maybe your relatives are ashamed of telling you of the lands they sold or their land has no value and is of little interest to anybody. 1 Like |

Alfa Seltzer: Ogugua, you can talk because you are in the US. Sure, that happens, but that still isn't enough for me. I've heard and experienced all sorts from different kinds of people. Maybe it's because I came to the realization that that's a people problem rather than a tribal one. Oh well. |

Alfa Seltzer: Firstly, let's dead the talk related to my family. If you must know my hometown is populated with Hausa who occupy mostly the markets and the Igbos who occupy the boutiques, electronics, markets etc. And these people all need lands/houses to occupy - Secondly: don't y'all regard east as Biafra, in essence a country? You lot are funny. So even if you people have a country today you still wouldn't be able to stay put! Don't try to wiggle through the questions, answer them! Some of your people are here forming 'de-tribalized' when the foremost man from the east - Achebe already voiced your dislike towards Yoruba and contempt for the Hausa? Which was recently echoed by your socio-cultural group and political leaders? It is no use trying to douse the rude-awakening going on in the West. You people should live with it. And if it happens it boils down to getting sliced and diced like it happens in the North then its good luck to you all. The unabated slaughtering and confrontation with the Hausa and Fulani in the west recently should give you a hint there's something changing - I pray your people won't have to go through that because then you'll whine about being victimized when it is plain you brought it upon yourselves. |

Alfa Seltzer: You represent everything wrong with igbos.can u listen to urself...they owe u adoration, they owe you servitude. you move en masse to peoples towns, constitute yourselves to the nuisance you normally are,yet they still accomodate you and your excesses and instead of being grateful for reception and tolerance you type that rubbish?? Igbos neva fall short of foolish arrogance. |

I am writing a book about tribalism and ethnicity on Nairaland. I thought it wise to announce it now because I have copied most of the material I need form this site. By the time I finish the synthesis, you'll all be surprised at what you'll see. Nairaland has done far more good than harm. It has helped us see that there is a ticking time bomb in the country. The question should not be whether tribalism exists or not but how to handle and defuse it in whatever situation. If something bad happens , thanks to Nairaland, we would not say we didn't see it coming or that we were not warned. I see clearly that ethnic and tribal sentiments have to be understood and ADDRESSED with in my business in which I involve a lot of diverse people. I never knew hate is still lurking around until I came here. To thank Nairaland, I want to say: THANKS FOR WARNING ME(from Justin Timberlake and Jay-z's Holy Grail) |

ogugua88: I'm not surprised seeing your previous utterances about Biafra and Boko Haram. Injustice against Igbos is not enough for you but when we shout about it, you have a problem with us. In US, they call what you are drinking Kool Aid. Here we call it oily soup. |

Hope.At.Hand: We can afford to be proud. You can call it arrogance or whatever you want. Let's see your people survive and prosper with only 20 pounds each. We are a great nation with our heads held high. We refused to be wiped out. We resisted the whole western world for almost three years and are today occupying the lands of the so called "no victors". We are proud. 1 Like |

Re: Nairaland Has Done More Harm Than Good by AlfaSeltzer(m): 4:26pm On Oct 29, 2013 |
Hope.At.Hand: Because we are a great people. Because we are a selfless people. Go and look at Lagos. We developed it. Go and look at Kano. We developed it. Look at Abuja. We are developing it. If not for jealousy backed by foreign arms, all other tribes should be worshipping us today. But instead they prefer to wallow in underdevelopment instead of allowing us to pull this country forward. Anyway, we have learnt our lessons: these people do not deserve our goodness so we are done being nice and good to anybody. Now we give it fully. When they get tired of us, they will use the same mouth they used to shout "one nigeria" to call for separation. Shamelessly. 1 Like |

Hope.At.Hand: We know our history and the backstabbing we endured. The thousands of bombs sent our way did not explode mid air. They destroyed properties, but we have rebuilt. However, you coming to blame us for the failures of the ruling "no victors" is disingenuous. However, we are getting there. Meanwhile we occupy your fatherland and any tampering will be met with appropriate response. Ask Borno people how Ihejirika is handling them. |
