You will think that racism is a disease in the West, no not worse than tribalism in Nigeria. I for example, have lived and been working in North America for over 10 years. I have moved from supervisory to managerial and senior management roles in Fortune 500 companies. Diversity and inclusiveness are two behaviors that these organizations do not play with.
Never has my color or race impacted my moves. I have lived in what you could call "white" dominated areas. Infact in my current home, my two neighbors are whites. We live in same vicinity. When we have house fellowship, my visitors park on their driveways. During Christmas, they share what they have with us. We live like we are from the same race.

Back in Nigeria, it was not the same. We prefer to rentbour housed to our people. I once worked in one of Nigeria's conglomerate before relocating. There, tribalism and kparapor was a selling point. Your promotion is somehow tied to it. I recall the week I resigned, the HR called me to ask what informed my decision. I pointed out to them one of my colleagues who was fast rising on the fact that she and the GMD were from the same state. They speak same language hold weekly kparapor meetings at Ikoyi resident of the GMD. Today, that company is in the dust.

Those of us from minority ethnic groups are just on our own. Down in Delta (my own state), I could not be employed in NPDC because "you need to know someone". Unfortunately, the someone's are from the big ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Nothing is done on merit. So you ask why are people from a section of Nigeria are japaing, there you got. The best brains are already out!

Not too long ago, I was listening to Parara mock news. In one episode, he was boldly saying that "Igbos cannot rule Nigeria". Such a harmless statement could not have been echoed by a news or YouTube outlet if it is not the general belief in Nigeria. This is a clear systemic discrimination in Nigeria polity. Nigerians of other ethnic nationalities know this "unwritten constitution" anchored on tribalism, neither the politicians nor the people dare voice it nor discuss it. A very sad thing to say the least. So, when you hear the likes of Reno Omokry boasting that Peter Obi cannot be president, he is not just referring to Peter Obi, he is referring to the Igbos. That is the height of deceit we have in a nation called Nigeria.

In Igboland, they have the osu caste system. This is 2023. No Nigeria Law touches it. We pretend that all is well. We are worse than those who we term racists. Our tribalism, caste systems, social and religious differences will continue to hold Nigeria down for another century. Nothing will change until we begin to see each other based on the content of their characters and not their ethnic origin.

Between 2015 to 2023, Buharivwas busy appointing his family, friend and northerners in government. The helped to drive our economy from a stable to a debt ridden one. One report had it that 96% of our revenue was dedicated to debt servicing. That means we had only 4% for national development. Where that is stolen, we borrowed again. He has now gone with his band and the country is worse off for it.
Now emilokan has started. He has surrounded himself with the same team that drove Lagos aground before Fashola boisted it. Today, our Naira has been wiped off the board of national currencies. Those who has N1000,000 saving in January could have been able to afford 4000 blocks today, if they are able to buy 2000 blocks with that money, they are lucky. Why, the new leader is so ethnic conscious that performance and sustainability is irrelevant. He will rather Nigeria dies than look up the best.

You Agbadorians hate truth so much .... anyway we are getting there slowly ... soon everybody go answer him papa name

PhD Trawul,

You have never seen racism anywhere if you think the people that took in as boiboi, tolerate you, accommodate you and treat you as member of the family are racists.

All your old riches before drugs and prominent illustrious sons and daughters made it among them.

But, It is not enough, you must also rule them as ordained by your Chi.

Ingrates.

We dodged a disaster by not electing Obi, even Cameroon would have closed their borders against you.
Subsidy removal, how could any sensible people spend billions on fuel subsidy at the detriment of other important sectors of the economy.
It would have been better if the most needy Nigerians benefited from it. But that wasn't the case.

Especially this forum

Those SENSELESS fools need to read this!

Nothing will change until we begin to see each other based on the content of their characters and not their ethnic origin.

Facts!

And just to add, nobody made a conscious choice to be born to a particular tribe, as a particular gender or to a home with a certain religious belief. If you discriminate based on realities you or the other person made no choice over…you’re an irredeemable FOOL!

For you to only pick that section from the write up, confirms you were baptized an Agbadorian at Odo iya laro..

Don't be surprised the OP is Igbo.. they turn blind eye to wrong doings of their own people but will rush to open topic condemning other tribes attacking them in like manner.

The worst tribalists in Nigeria complaining about tribalism when they can't penetrate other ethnic groups space.

Well tribalism in “Nigeria” is rooted in racism….

When WHITES put you together to exploit you and you agree then who is the mugu… Your name self mean Nigger Area lol

Those same WHITES can do peaceful referendum to leave Europe and no one called them terrorist..

Those same WHITES have separate countries that can even go to World Cup, Scot, Wales, N Ireland, Gibraltar, etc…
Yet you all are having erection over their Premier league whose bank Barclays made their mark through slave trade of NIGGERS

See what happened in last election especially in Fulani controlled North and Yorubas …

That’s what happens when folks with different value systems and history are yoked together…. NO PROGRESS

Even in the land of the out - caste? very funny how such discrimination is within a tribe.

You haven't made a reasonable point. Don't all tribes in Nigeria unite when faced by South Africa's xenophobia?

It's simple common sense! I hope you know that an Igbo from Anambra is the most superior to all of other Igbos. I pity you if you are not an igbo from Anambra but an Igbo from the likes of Kogi.

Yorubas accusing others of what's their culture.


The same yorubas that beat up and stopped their fellow Yorubas from voting,tagging them Omo Igbos simple because they look fresh and neat.

You just spoke like an ignorant bushman. There's no absolute unity anywhere. Africans fight and discriminate among themselves so do Europeans and other whites. I live in Europe and I know the hierarchy of the Europeans. The supremacy complex is very serious there among different European countries m. For example, people from certain western European countries look down on people from certain European countries and discriminate against them.

Can this simple discrimination be compared with any form of racism? There is absolutely non basis for comparison.

Those ymm attest to it very well
