Are you still in 1980s? How on earth do you want people to stay in their region? Isn't that hateful? You that want people to stay in their region but claims patriotic, are you patriotic?

Your totality is hate. Eschew disdain, it will make you a better person.

helinues:


If we are to go by that analogy, then why is it hard for some people to stay put in their region?

Brimstone77:
....

Who cares..

We aren't the same no matter how you put it.

There is no relationship between me as an Igbo man with Yoruba,hausa or ijaw..

We don't reason the same,we are not related by blood,we are not related culturally,we are not related by religion..

We have absolutely no similarity or relationship..

You should have talked to the guy who said he's not related to hausa, Yoruba or ijaw.pls, be fair in your judgement.IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU HE'S NOT RELATED TO YOU IN ANY WAY,IS HE NOT INDIRECTLY TELLING YOU TO LEAVE HIS REGION?..if any person tell me he/she is not related to me in any way,then I will tell the person to leave my place as well.

Nigeria is deeply divided along ethnic and religious lines, we don't like each other, we insult ourselves everyday, we dehumanise and degrade each other for nefarious reasons.

But outside the shores of Nigeria, we are all treated the same way, nobody wants to know your tribe, we all carry the same image and identity out there.

This is why we should refrain from playing ethnic card every now and then, because it's not healthy.

I still remember when I posted about my tribe (igede) on this platform and how some unscrupulous Nigerians lambasted me severely.
Meanwhile I've defended Nigeria on different social media platforms from south Africans, Ghanians, Kenyans etc whenever they attack us more than any other person in Nigeria, yet some persons don't even want to hear about my tribe.

We are all responsible for our woes, be the change you want to see.

This is hypocritical at best. It is better to disintegrate the shithole called Nigeria than the silly suggestion of staying in a person's region.

Drop that post shifting now now and answer the question

Tallesty1:
What you call tribalism is patriotism in its truest form.
You think they're tribal bigots because they're patriotic to their individual nations. Allow these nations to form their own separate countries and you will see how what you call tribalism which you're convinced is holding and dragging Nigeria backwards will become patriotism and a blessing there...

You can't lump many separate nations together in one country without a defined purpose and expect progress. That's madness.

You're right! Even here in Nigeria other ethnic groups are wearing Okada helmets to protect their precious skulls from skull miners and human organ harvesters.

Africa will rise when the Colonial abominations called countries like NIGERIA are torn apart and new organic ethnic nations or atleast one formed by inter ethnic alliance are formed.

When you keep a wise man in a place, he readjusts himself to make the place comfortable for him.
The world(Europeans) handed us a Colonial abominations they called countries, that will never work, wise people are calling for adjustments so that we all can move on, but not-so-wise people benefitting Individually from the flawed abominations insist we move on with the colonial abominations.
The end result is that we are in a Limbo.
No people ever worked together without AGREEMENT.
As an Igbo, my culture, religion, thinking style, etc is at variance with that of Yoruba,Ijaw or Hausa-Fulani man.
I can't stop being me(Igbo) and they can't stop being themselves to be able to agree with me,end result is that we all hate each other and there is nothing on Earth that will change that.
Fences, in this case national boundaries will make for good neighbors between all involved parties in Nigeria.

DuwaRepublic:


Dude, you are not the entire igbo ethic group. You are just a confused individual who thinks he speaks for the entire igbo race, you do not. You are just a small fish in a big pond.

You don’t matter at all, and your opinion matter less. Not all igbo think like you, you also do not think for all Igbos. Your ethnic bigotry dies with you, it’s your kids that will suffer for the hate you teach them. You will also continue to suffer for the hate you harbour. You can blame Nigeria all you want, but it is you and you yourself that’s not allowing you to progress in life not Nigeria.

There's a great difference between tribalism and patriotism my friend, especially in the Nigerian context. And it's not about nations being lumped together as you say, it's simply about each man trying to outsmart and short-change his neighbours. In 2011 or thereabouts the Abia state government directed all non indigenes (who were still Igbos by the way) to leave the state civil service. This directive was mainly for those who came from Imo, Enugu etc. How do you explain that? Ijaws and itsekiris are fighting constantly in the South South, is that because the nation was lumped together? Sometimes an Ekiti lady will not want to marry an Ondo man (both yorubas) because of minute tribal differences.

Even if each state decides to go on their own today, there'll still be serious divisions along ethnoreligious lines. It's the way we have programmed ourselves and it would take a really pan-Nigerian leader or set of leaders to create in us a significant change in orientation for the better.

Igboid:


Leave Ndiigbo out of your unity begging antics.
Abia State government sacking other non Abia Igbos from their civil service was greeted with loud rejection and condemnation by all Igbos including Abians themselves, so much that Abia government was in shame and quickly backtracked on the move by recalling the sacked workers.

If anything, that incidence proved that Igboland is indeed a United organic nation.

Think before you post.Ok, let's go by your analogy: Can you survive alone? even the USA, Germans,China,.etc... needs some form of relationship to sell what ever they produce.. they also need relationship with other countries to buy what to consume.The Chinese,are in Nigeria, making billions of dollars every year,are we related to them in any way?NO!.... What relationship does the USA have with Saudi Arabia & the UAE? Are they related in anyway?NO! their relationship is purely on business matter, that's all.
