Nnenna1: Another societal ill is obviously sexism - we need to respect our women, take them seriously, and stop all forms of abuse and discrimination. That has more to do with western influence - our culture respects our women. I think we need a total overhaul of the Nigerian system, and we need to focus more on our culture.. Religion is also one of the biggest problems in Nigeria - but that's a topic for another day |

Beaf: I'm not even close to a bigot. I grew up with Igbo, Urhobo, and Edo friends - and we all still keep in touch. The funniest thing is that, everyone says I look more Igbo than Yoruba - because I'm light-skinned - and I don't even deny it when Igbo people think I'm one of them... From 2007 - 2009, all the guys I was hanging around were Igbos. How do you think I can write the little Igbo I write on NL, without living in Nigeria?? I'm Mr. Nigeria, and I don't discriminate. |

shymmex:You are a bigot, bro. I don't blame you that much from the history you've given. If you have never lived in Nigeria, there is bound to be a serious disconnect with your identity that might make you play the fool a few times too many. |

Nnenna1: If you don't think so - maybe you need to read more about our culture, and how it celebrates women.. How do you think we had women like Queen Amina, Madam Tinubu, and the Aba Women in our history?? Our culture has been bastardized, but the real African culture celebrates, and worship their women. Yorubas worship feminine gods like Osun, Oya, Yemoja etc. |

Beaf: I'm connected to my Nigerian identity - I'm from little Lagos in London a la Peckham - it can't get realer than that. |

shymmex:I'm just telling you that you don't need to play the fool to be accepted. I can deduce that you might actually be a good person at heart, but you are also young and confused. Peckham is not Lagos and never will be. Take time out to visit and get to know your people and country (good and bad aspects). Peckham will never teach you those things. |

Ill rather people vent their warped & pervasive tribal frustrations here in NL than in real life. I believe its therapy for them & is directly related to other frustrations and dashed hopes they have in real life. 1 Like |

@symmex first step in fixing tribalism, let the government mandate that every child learn a different language within nigeria, other than english and their native tongue. Then There should be an intercultural exchanges between uni students. For examples students from ondo state can choose to transfer for a semester to an abia state school or edo state school, or university in kano and vise versa, this will greatly help, in helping reshape our youths and generation on these tribalism problem. Its a a place to start. |

Everybody knows that the id¡ot who started this thread is a renowned bigot. Always subtle (like his kin). Why are you trying to preach tolerence and bigotry on the same keyboard. Nobody takes you seriously thats why your threads are playcenters. Again igbos and yiruba cannot mix healthily. Divide this fhkin country lets see who will lose more. Foh |

shymmex: Sitting on my bed, as I inhale, and exhale my cigarette smoke - I reminisce how I used to view Nigerians as the same people. I was never raised to believe my tribe was superior to my “bredrin’s” tribe. We were all raised as Nigerians first before anything – and we all used to verbally defend Nigeria against our Ghanaian peers – and fist fight our Caribbean peers. That seems like a long time ago now – because tribalism is now rife among Nigerians in diaspora, and on the virtual World Wide Web. It seems we were all young back then, and we were living in denial – and probably tribalists on the inside, but Nigerian on outside.Sorry oh. But naija is more united tday than tmoro. |

Some tribes cannot cohabitate just like oil and water |

We as Nigerians need a new orientation; reconciliation of all the tribes to heal old wounds; and probably a dictator to beat senses into the citizens. |

MsDarkSkin: I agree with the spirit of this statement, but people often have to be at least a little arrogant about their own self worth in order to climb to greater heights. One doesn't necessarily need to broadcast that chauvinistic arrogance and announce it with a loudspeaker, but it is occasionally useful as a motivational tool or as a reminder of what the minimum is that one needs to achieve and it shouldn't necessarily be tossed out just on principle. Humility is socially/diplomatically useful, but a tinge of arrogance is also useful as a motivator. |
