Noneroone: You have obviously set the stage for the ethnic bashing which you claim to be averting.

VillageBoi:
No he hasn't. He's asking the valid question "Why is this happening in the East?" It's so easy for anyone to contribute without the 'ethnic bashing'. Personally I'm surprised to hear how ridiculous they are making things in the East... and yes I am Igbo.

biafransoul: But they learnt it from the South West abi na west where even food sellers or barbers are not allowed to operate unless they are members of their stupid association. Go to the parks, they have their agbero and Chairman. You want to start anything, you must join their association. Abi na lie?

lynx200: I was at a film makers conference in Awka, Anambra state on Saturday and what I heard there about film making shocked me. For starters the various guilds of film practitioners in Eastern Nigeria usually disrupt film shoots if they find out that any of the artistes, directors, producers or crew men are not members of their local chapter of the guilds. They go to the extent of being violent and involving the police. At times the guild top men dictate what artistes should be on a directors set. Nothing of such happens in the other parts of the country and the funny thing is that the guilds are not legally sanctioned to do this so it can be legally termed harassment.

Please note that this is an opportunity for frank discussion and not tribal bashing so I will not tolerate any ethnic jingoism here.

fm7070:

I wonder why people will leave important issues raised and they will start irrelevant tribal, religious or ethnic matters which in most cases does not address the question. They are doing something bad somewhere, all you could say was tribal bashing

These are the instrument of woes in Nigeria: Ethnic and religious sentiment and it is preventing us from facing our problems realistically.
