If there is way of killing tribal sentiment in this country then nothing will stop Nigeria from becoming one of the best country in the world. 1 Like |

LordVoldermort: The process that led to the emergence of America is different from the process that led to the emergence of Nigeria and it's the different processes that formed the base upon which the quantity and the quality of nationalism that you see in this places can be measured! America is a country of immigrants with very well set out laws on how the country will function. Laws on the powers of the leaders and the led. Most of the original immigrants were actually running away from different draconian monarchies in Europe. Coming to America, they consciously decided from the early stages to form a country bound by laws. This helped them a lot to avoid the kind of mundane distractions that saddles fake states like Nigeria. Yet there are racial issues especially with the original aboriginal inhabitants of the place who were displaced and the blacks who were brought in as slaves. The simmering tensions arising from the anger within this two groups have led to national challenges too... But the subsisting system of rule of law upon which the country was founded helps to ameliorate the net effects. It's different here. Nigeria is basically a funny conglomerate of different quarrelsome indegineous tribes, lumped together haphazardly by a maniacal colonialist. There were no strong constitutional regulations for the cohabitation of these different cultures. No one respects any laws laid down at the time of the countrys formation, since Lugard consulted nobody but barrelled his way through violence. Institutional inhibitors against wayward leadership are almost non existent and the mismarsh of different ethnicities has only helped to accentuate an octane level of endemic frictions that has been cataclysmic most times.. These quarrels, these squabbles, these noisy aggregations of sectional interests within a suffocating union are mainly responsible for the comatose state of affairs in these countries. So when these different groups try to project their cultural preferences, it's not really a bad omen. That is what Nations do and these are nations within a multi-national state. Problem here is that there are no serious rules of engagement. This has made politics in Africas multiethnic states a survival of the fittest... If there were serious rules on sundry issues like the sharing of power and state resources, these debilitating confrontations won't be the hallmarks of political engagements in different African states.. 3 Likes |

thebosstrevor1: you are talking to someone who has lived around the world for ALL his adult life... and as much as i have seen racism/tribalism everywhere, it has never been to the level of African tribalism (aka affecting a country to go forward) |
