I'm not Igbo, neither am I Yoruba. You guys should stop perpetuating tribalism. It doesn't help us.

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

Each ethnic nation in Nigeria has it's ethnic region or location..

Anyone who accuses another of tribalism is not living in his or her ethnic region..

JayDuke:
I am not Igbo.
I said I served in Abia state, that doesn't make me igbo

you served in Abia and picked up Uniport form if you are not i:gbo that's a big lie..

most people from Akwa ibom or cross river will attend Unical or Uniuyo not Uniport... people attend schools were they understand the language of the indigenes unless they grew up in that place..

maestro299:


Stop this nonsense. You're joining our politicians to perpetuate the tribalism and discrimination that has made us retrogress.

Lithiumite is right..

if the OP was Y:oruba you guys would have mocked and abused him and abused Yoruba politicians..

but an i:gbo graduate doing okada is not shameful to you guys and not one of you guys have abused or called out any of your politicians...

you guys are hypocrit:es..

etrouble:


No let hypertension kee you oooo. The projects that Sanwo-Eko alone has done is more than two times the projects that all the remaining 36 states combined have done. That’s why your kinsmen keep dropping out of school and jumping into trailers carrying cows to Lagos to come and slave for Yorubas

It will be better if SW governors start going to inspect their projects and snap pictures and post online instead of sitting in their offices and doing nothing.

T:inubu has never gone to inspect any federal government project and snap pictures and has nothing to show .. yet he is blaming his ministers...

When last did Sanwo olu, dapo abiodun, Makinde, Adeleke, Ondo governor inspect and commission any projects...

Even t:inubu does not have any project...

Eagleways:
Oga, shut up!!!
This is where he lives and pays his tax .

Ghanaians won't tell him to go to his country because they are sane. But here, creepy freaks of nature like you and your stagnant tribal kinsmen would tell him to go and protest in his state, whereas you still tax and beg him for food.

I spit!

Omodua:
Why are you people so tribal. You can't view issues without tribal colorization?

Tribalism has eaten so deep in you people.

U:A.E arrested some bangladeshis for protesting in the U:A:e.

When you are not from a place or country.. you must not protest in that place or country.

Don't ever quote that Lexy moniker.

I don't agree with this. But it still makes more sense than when you claimed it will be globally. And, no, there is nothing happening to black people in the US under Biden that is worse than whatever they have faced historically.

Let me apologize to you. I am sorry I made that reference to special needs children. I have just realized it was unnecessary and I could have just disagreed with you without insults or appearing to mock disadvantaged people. I hope you accept my apologies.

It is global because once black americans start suffering and are been overlooked for jobs in favor of illegal immigrants then other black people who are not black americans will also be overlooked and will suffer the same fate as black americans..

Then black people outside the U.S will suffer inflation, increased rent, kid:nappings and other crimes e.t.c

IfnobeGod20:
That should be other way round. It's Trump that hates anything black and he has shown that many times. The man is a real racist.
Besides, Kamala Haris is also a black woman. Please how do you expect such person with deep root with black also hate black?
Can you give me instances where she hate or show sign of her dislike for the black race.
You can just type on google search, Trump Racist Comments and you will be surprise by the outcome. You will not only be surprise but overwhelmed. The man hate blacks like kilode but you will never find one single racist comment from Madam Kamala Haris.
Haris in yesterday's debate got an applause from the audience for asking Trump critical question on his racist comment and he (Trump) was dumbfounded and his next answer is "I don't care".
Any black man that is supporting Trump is doing so for another reason and not because of the love he has for the black race or I can say personal like he has for him.

Ha:rris said she won't do anything for black people..

She did not grow up with her father she grew up with her indian mother and sees herself as indian.

She has no connection to black people.

Buliwyf:


No. I am not ridiculing them. I am ridiculing you. That kind of logic leap from Kamala winning to the destruction of black people globally has to be some form of retardation and immaturity combined. Hence the reference.

so according to you special-needs people are retards and immature...

if you follow U.S news, then you will know that black people are having a very frustrating life in b:iden administration and Ka:mala is part of this administration so if she wins that frustrating life will turn to suffering pro max for black people in U.S.

Buliwyf:


You are talking like a special-needs child. Please tell us how black people globally will be destroyed because Kamala won?

So people born with special needs are not humans and can be ridiculed due to their condition..

I did not know I was quoting a very sick person..

descarado:

Even Nigerians don't want illegal immigrants.

Northern Nigerians want illegal immigrants while southern Nigerians don't want illegal immigrants.

If you want a future for your children then vote for Trump..

MessiReturns:
You're the stupid one here. Republicans has never done anything for blacks. Today you and I can go to the US, who made this possible, the Democrats. Some of you are just so stupid and ignorant that you reason out of sentiment.

Africans can go to the U.S due to trade deals not due to the demo:crats ..

Buliwyf:


You just like talking out of your ass. Lol. You are the most delusional person on Nairaland.

Obama never lost debate to Romney. They had multiple debates and apart from the first debate, Obama mopped the floor with Romney. In case you have amnesia, I will remind you of the "horses and bayonets" reply by Obama that is still considered one of the best in American political debates.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Hillary won the popular vote and she probably would have won the election if she didn't take Wisconsin for granted.

The biggest sign that you are a clown is the fact that you think majority of blacks will cast their vote for Trump whom they consider racist for his infamous role in the case of the Central Park Five.

Lol. Trump might still win the election. But hell will freeze over before majority of blacks vote for him

If Kamala wins the election then black people globally are finished and destroyed...

Majority of blacks will vote for Trump.

If they don't vote for Trump then it is over for them and Africans...

martineverest:
her father is Jamaican

Her father is indian born in Jamaica..

Her father is not Jamaican..

cococandy:


What I don’t understand is why the numbers are even like this. If Trump should be getting any votes at all on anything whether it be at the polls, in the election or assessment of debate performance, he shouldn’t be getting up to 20% of any votes.

It shows that a good percentage of the people still can’t be swayed by reason, logic or evidence. I know Kamala will win without a doubt but it’s a scary number of people still voting in favor of this man despite how deplorable he is. Scary

If Kamala wins the election then black people globally are finished and destroyed...

Were back people the only victims of those manufactured diseases?

How many black people surported Ghaddafi's cause?

Look, this victim narrative is what keeps selling us short. If we continue to wallow in it rather than chart a new course that puts us on the path of progress, we'll keep whinning with nothing to show for it.

It all starts with depriving feudalists like Balablu power, because he and his likes are weapons fashioned against our progress, but you'll disagree because you're all for the ethnic and tribal supremacy of your folks.

Nothing sells us short..

An employee cannot force the founder or CEO of a business to increase his or her salary..

An employee cannot earn the same salary as the founder or CEO of a business no matter how hard they work.

the only way an employee can earn the same salary as the founder is to quit his job and create or found his own business.

Black people did not create or found the economic system the world is currently using.. it was created by euro:peans..

no matter how hard black countries work.. black countries can never have earn the same as euro:peans countries unless they quit the current economic system and create their own economic system which is what Gha:ddafi suggested...

if black countries are ever on a path to progress then eur:opeans will manipulate the system and you'll start hearing of diseases, civil wars, terrorism, assassination in those countries..

when black Americans built their own thriving cities due to segregation created by whyte Americans, whyte Americans created unrest and bombed the cities, burnt mansions owned by black people, killed thousands of black people e.t.c. all because the black americans were progressing without the help of the whyte Americans,,

so no matter the progress a person makes, that person can be robbed of his belongings, money or even killed just to stop that person and his family from progressing..

feudalists like Ti:nubu, Bu:hari, Ojukwu Azikwe were and are working for whyte people whether directly or indirectly due to colonialism and due to carrying out the economic policies of World slavery Bank and International slavery fund...

I am for ethnic and tribal independence not supremacy because from what I've seen and learnt... in some families, for them to become a wealthy and rich family it usually takes the hard work, intelligence, resources of at least one child in that family who then goes on to empower and uplift other members of his family and that's how they end up becoming a wealthy family with generational wealth... as long as no one kills that child or prevents him from progressing.

in Nigeria's case, the hard work, intelligence, resources of at least one tribe who could have gone on to empower and uplift the other tribes was stopped the day regionalism was abolished due to the other tribes not liking the progress the other tribe was making so that tribe never got the opportunity to become wealthy and empower the other tribes..

Is it normal? Who has experienced something similar?

They paid me within 20 minutes yesterday night..

Napoleon55:

Yes someone who can't respond and cursing and abusing is not mature,
But Mujtahida is not one of such persons who respond with curses.

I think u just wanted attention

He is one of such persons..

I don't like and want attention..

Napoleon55:

Hmm,
Mujtahida responds and reply like a teenager?

Mujtahida is definitely one of the most matured minds here.

Your definition of mature minds and my definition of mature minds are different..

Someone who can't respond without cursing and abusing is not a mature mind to me...

junnyjake:


Mujtahida under 22?

You're most definitely a newbie here. You think you're making sense with this twisted and untextured gibberish you spew, but...

he responds and replies like a teenager..

I am making sense because I know black people did not create covid, mon:key pox, e:bola e.t.c..

I also know that black people did not bomb and destroy thriving black American businesses and areas in the early 1900s..

I also know that Gaddafi was killed because he suggested that African countries should stop using the dollars to trade internationally..

I also know that Fr:ance has been in about 15 African countries for over 100 years and no meaningful development has happened in those countries instead those countries are fighting ter:rorists created by whyte people..

benji93:
Sorry, but no statement is more wrong. If you cannot do much of what you are getting, it's within reason to believe you wouldn't be any different with 100%. If they can break away the same leaders would still be leading. You made some factual statements, but your conclusions are at best interesting, and not necessarily well thought out. Delta has to share its resources with other parasitic states. That's correct. But an important question would be do you get anything in the meantime, relative to those parasites? What have you done with what you have retained/received via allocation? This is not to say that the Delta region should be denied the entirety of the revenue from oil, No. You cannot take most of what's mine because you think I can't manage the portion I am getting—such arrogance. I support the idea that every region should be allowed to manage its resources. But arguing that Akwa Ibom is not as developed as Qatar for example because it's not getting all the revenue from its oil is what's a problem, based on evidence.

Are white institutions working against us? Absolutely. The world's market economy is such that, one country's continuous search for economic prosperity is ruining the economic prosperity of another. You don't even have to want to ruin another country. As long as you pursue economic prosperity another country would be diminishing in the direction of ruin.(Note, the use of direction, not that you are at the point of ruin). The activities of economic prosperity would force that imbalance. It is you who has to decide that, hell no, any other country but me can carry that burden.

Were some African leaders with a passion for uplifting their respective countries Murdered? O yes. But what makes you think that's unique to us? Other countries that are currently at least fairly prosperous must have had that too. Do you think, during the Chinese opium crisis, and in the lead-up to the wars, some Chinese leaders looking to quash the opium problem were not murdered? Despite this, they kept at it. And once the opportunity for quantum economic jumps opened- for example, the US moving their manufacturing to China- they took it. Given the heavily capitalistic nature of the American economy, the US manufacturing industries were looking to extract more profit from the sale of their products. These pockets of opportunities open up and the question is can you see it? China for example is now exploring as others once did to them. They are in the driver's seat now. Are our African countries trying to exploit the opportunities opening up?

The point is whatever harsh realities we believe we are being dealt, others have been dealt the same, and some of them eventually prospered.

that statement is more right...

if your monthly salary is ₦250,000 and after your monthly expenses on transportation, food, bills e.tc your remaining is ₦50,000 while if you get another job that pays ₦2,500,000 monthly with same monthly expenses and now your remaining is ₦2,300,000..

would ₦50,000 give you a better life than ₦2,300,000?

now apply that same logic to Akwa-ibom or Delta.. would ₦850 billion give Akwa-ibom better infrastructure and jobs than ₦12 trillion ?

Mujtahida:

Pile of horseshit.

that's your opinion...

Mujtahida:

"Hate black people." This is the foolish talk that some pan African minded people push. I don't like hearing that nonsense whether it is true or not. It is the talk of a conquered mind, of a man who lacks faith in himself, indeed a talk by raving idiots.

Do these institutions love the Chinese? Do they love the Arabs? So you want them to love you? Are you a woman?

Bullshit. Don't engage me with that narrative because I utterly hate it. Once you mention our challenges as a race, this wimps, this weak minded, myopic trotters inevitably find a way to rope in the white man. Read the bolded. Did you see how he has placed our underdevelopment solely at the feet of the white man. It's always blame game that has not taken us an inch forward.

Someone said that with the kind of leaders we have, do we need enemies? Again someone said when you are a child, you blame others, when you are a man (a man in the real sense of the word, no be say you carry blokkos) you man up and forge ahead regardless of the odds life has dealt you.

Looking for love up and down like a sissy. You don't even love yourself. Mechionu with this stupid immature sentimental snivelling talk about white against blackman because you are a slave to that thinking. And you don't know that by blaming the white man you have made him your god.

Everytime this unthinking people keep talking about colonialism. Who wasn't colonized? Who wasn't enslaved? Who? I just finished reading Tom Holland's "Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic." Go and read how Rome plundered Gaul, Brittania and Germania (which corresponds to modern day France, Britain and Germany) -killing them, making slaves out of them and colonizing them. Abi you have not read how the ottoman empire raided whites and made them slaves. Go and even read up on the etymology of the word slave. It's derived from slavs, a people of Eastern Europe who were raided as slaves.

What am I saying. Stop crying oh black man! Rise up! The pain you have suffered contains the promise of the heights you can reach if only you look forward and man up.

And to the point about Singapore, I take Lee's book as my reference. What is your reference?

U:S:A moved its entire manufacturing to China and some Asian in the 80s and 90s and this made China and these other countries to have access to information, know-how and knowledge-transfer on how this U:S products worked and they started making their own versions of the U:S products... and the U:S also gave them billions of dollars in loans and grants to upgrade themselves...

Arab countries have large deposits of Crude oil, Gas reserves and have small population and are stand alone countries which Nigeria is not...

In Nigeria, Akwa-ibom has the largest oil reserves and a small population but it is not a stand alone country which means it never gets the full revenue it is meant to get and shares it with 30 - 36 other states who are parasites..

if Akwa-ibom, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers were stand alone countries they would be the richest countries in Africa with state of the art infrastructure..

it's like the best student in your class sitting beside you during normal classes, tests and exams and saying his presence had nothing to do with your improved performance or the worst student in your class sitting beside you and saying his presence did not cause your bad performance.

African presidents or Black American leaders who really and honestly had the passion and motivation to uplift their countries were assassinated or imprisoned by White controlled institutions and you're saying nonsense about no faith in yourself because whyte institutions are working against you..

Sh:ell and some other whyte owned companies polluted the rivers in Bayelsa and Sh:ell did nothing about it..

you're not experienced or still under the age of 22 with such kind of thinking that another person or group cannot stop or delay the upliftment of another group.....

you're talking as if a fraudster or hacker cannot wipe out someone's life savings in their bank account without the person knowing, you will blame the person for been a victim of a crime...

Mujtahida:

I think one's background plays a huge role in whether they have a pan - Nigerian or narrow tribal outlook. I grew up on the Airforce base in Makurdi and till date just by looking at a person or hearing him speak I can tell where he or she's from. And that's because our interaction cut across virtually all the ethnic groups in Nigeria and we grew up with that sense that we are a community.

My first real contact with the practical demonstration of ethno - religious sentiment was when I went to University in Zaria and when I joined nairaland. It was shocking and I used to get annoyed by it but not anymore. Not many people have the privilege of the kind of background you have.

I put the blame squarely on our leaders especially those of the first republic. Compare them to a person like Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore and see the difference in their orientation. While Lee quickly realized that Singapore composed of Chinese, Malays and other sub-nationals, he ensured that the state adopted a strict policy of merit and neutrality. That is the magic that transformed Singapore to the height it now occupies. (Lee was in Nigeria in January 66 for the commonwealth conference, when he saw our leaders, he said we were not going to succeed as a nation because we were too tribal)

And indeed what did our own leaders do? They dug down their heels and jostled for political advantage strictly on tribal lines. I will nevertheless say that they loved their people sincerely and they are still 100 times better than this present crop of useless politicians.

Don't mention Singapore...

In Singapore, the indigenes are poor and doing odd jobs while the mixed ones or Chi:nese and Malaysia migrants who have become citizens are the ones holding all or most of the top positions and jobs both in public and private institutions it has nothing to do with merit and neutrality but favoring of Chi:nese and Malaysia migrants by the older Chi:nese migrants who are citizens who had political power ..

Nigeria's under-development has to do with not investing in infrastructure and getting poor loans from the World Slavery Bank and International Slavery Fund that hate black people...

Ukra:ine has gotten over $80 billion in loans since the war with Ru:ssia began... other non-black countries like Singapore also got massive loans in the 70s and 80s while most African countries get peanuts as loans compared to what Eu:ropean and A:sia countries get from this world finance institutions...

currently in U:S:A, illegal immigrants are given over $25,000 - $100,000 each to start businesses, their rent is paid for them e.t.c while hardworking black American citizens get nothing in return...

will you say illegal immigrants have more merit than black Americans?

Ortega777:
This news is really terrible and worrisome.
Killed for no other reason but because you went out to your farm, trying to sustain yourself and family.
What a life, what a country and this terrible scenario continue to thrive unabated, and we mourn, type too bad and wait for another to happen.
This monsters continue to slaughter humans/citizens/patriots in their own backyards, having come from faraway region to dominate the Aborigines.
Is the President not seeing this?
Is the governor bereaved of ideas??
Does the government not value life of it's
citizens
Is there no secret police ready to sweep and sleep at the bushes to secure our forest and farmlands.
How long will this menace be allowed to thrive.
Is there no hope to ending these killings by so called herdsmen.
Nigeria
Nigeria
Nigeria my country.

some of the politicians may be paid to ensure that Nigerians don't farm their own foods... same way for years Nigeria did not refine its own crude oil..

comodo:

Anyone still spending energy discussing about tribe and ethnicity in this present Nigeria knows nothing. I discontinue any discuss with that person once I notice that. Nigeria has moved on. Nigeria doesn't have 250 ethnic groups, rather only 2. The Elites and the masses. That's all. But funny you will find all manner of abominations among the masses. They are the ones that kill for their religion, ethnicity and the rest. The elites loot in convoy, share in convoy, marry each other, celebrate each other, you won't hear pim. Nuf said.

I used to think like you but I discovered it was the Elites that empower the masses..

The Elites only empower masses they share the same ethnicity with or they completely ignore the Masses.

To make matters worse, most black people are naturally selfish so there is a combination of selfish Elites and selfish masses..

Selfish Elites that are meant to build infrastructure to empower their people are either anti-black or too selfish to start and complete progressive projects or just want to impose destitution on their people...

Then there are non-black Elites who do everything to ensure black people are destitutes..

It's a weird world and the only way to progress is to become the elite and be the change you want to see instead of expecting others to be that change..

Marjoribanks:
I am Yoruba guy! But you sound so unintelligent here! Your references exhibit an IQ lower than normal I am sorry to say! Stop now!

No matter what.. you should learn to never talk down on another person or be abusive towards another person whether online or offline...

And especially if you share the same race as the person and even more when you share the same ethnicity as the person..

That you are Yoruba does not mean that you can't be anti-yoruba and be against policies that will uplift Yoruba people.

Hopefully you get more enlightened because you've just shown that you will throw other Yorubas under the bus if push comes to shove...

ChrisKels:


Most Yorubas are treacherous, and by that I didn't mean there are no treacherous few in other regions. You claimed that the old Eastern region were envious of the old western region, but you can't provide any evidence, instead you have resorted to playing ethnic games in order to push your lies. The Calabar and akwa ibom you just mentioned, were they not part of the old Eastern region being talked about? Was Cocoa generating more revenue than palm oil?

You said Igbos occupied the best positions, and then here you are also saying the Yorubas were controlling the companies and institutions? So, the so called Yorubas who were controlling the companies and institutions decided to overlook others and instead employ the Igbos? If the white men gave more opportunities to the Igbos as you said, how came the Yorubas had control of the companies and institutions and the Igbos the employees as you learnt in your own little world? So, in a nutshell, it was actually the Yorubas who had the lions share (so called controllers) and still sad at the mere employees. The real bitter, covetous and jealous ones are the controllers who were sad at the employees, otherwise why would a controller complain about an employee? Would you rather be a controller or a mere employee? Make it make sense.

ChrisKels:


Were the coup plotters serving eastern military government or Nigerian military government? Was the coup in the interest of the old Eastern region or in the interest of the federal government?

it is pointless of me to continue this conversation with you..

I have gotten the result i wanted..
