The OP is asking for guidance relocating from SW from North. Now, instead of befitting answers, every comment on the first page is filled with tribalism and religious bigotism.

This has made me sad and wondering: how do these Nigerians live with so much hatred in them? Are these regular Nigerians I meet during my day-to-day activities? Why do we hate each other so much?

I'm saying this because I'm a product of two of these tribes; I have lived in all five of the six geo-regions spending nothing less than 2 years in each; the best friends I have had are of tribes different from mine.

Is it just me seeing this way? Or there is something wrong somewhere?

To those that have been to other countries, is tribalism a thing there? Why us?

I'm down mehn!

Why Nigerians Why?

Nairaland have been invaded by tribal bigots. Which is a reflection of the Nigerian economy at large.

Dr. Nelo in the Abuja-Kaduna bound train, who tweeted and solicited for the prayers of Nigerians after she was shot, was wished death instead.

Nigeria should just break up

No dey mind all those fools. Na online dem dey get mouth.

Did we agree to live together before the colonial amalgam?

Don’t take what you read online serious!
Most of those people has close friends and neighbors from different ethnic groups.

I Blame the Zombie Mods on this God Damned Forum that allows such comments like that to be Visible

Death to all Tribalistic Mods

Bros u lie, more & more people are returning back home (state/village of origin) to work in private or public sector or to start their own business. Is only in few cases or places that this diversity is really working.

Fewer intermarriages these days...
In a Facebook post only people of same tribe react, replying & commenting

Make no mistake, nairaland is a reflection of the what the larger society is all about- just that, unlike the everyday people we meet, it is a faceless forum that gives people the morale and confidence to expose their inner conviction.

Would you really blame us? Nigeria is a country divided against ethnic, religious and party lines, and politicians have done more evil by exploiting these differences to rather incite us against each other.

It's normal for people to be emotionally attached to their ethnicity. And the truth is, most people you meet in real life also display some form of resistance if you talk about their tribe in some type of way- just that real life doesn't give them the room to be dispicable and wish harm to others.

What is more fascinating is the fact that same Nigerians who hate themselves so much on here would scream racism or xenophobia when it's a stranger doing his thing.

These same people would also be united when it comes to other spheres of life. In my dealings with people, I as much as possible avoid conversations that would lead to tribal or religious sentiments. I don't have strength to hate biko..

My brother, no reason am, it’s been like that for ages

Tribalism take us to no where we should rather stop this non*ense. So distingues going through the trend is so sad on how people quote
