Now is our diversity truly our beauty or it's our downfall

I feel things like state of origin, religion should be removed from any application form

Are you a Nigerian
Yes or No with proof is better

Such details should be found only in your NIN which is known to you and the commission alone.

Yen yen yen.

We all know the problem of this country. We all know the tribe seeking to tarnish, partition, vitiate this country.

We all know the tribe quick to slander, taint, smear, cast aspersions(on) on other tribes.

We all know that tribe that wants political power on a platter of self pity, not through alliance, not through bridge building , not through persuasive methods. But through playing the victimization card on everything.


We will all continue to pretend like we dont know. We will continue to always look for excuses, alternative way or things to put the blame on, every time. But deep down, we all know the problem of this country.

We all know.

@the emboldened. Hypocrisy has eaten deep into Nigerians that we keep lying to ourselves even when it's obvious we are. Diversity hasn't in any way made Nigeria better. Instead, it eludes Nigeria of peace and causes ethic tensions and mutual suspicion.

Diversity works where government identifies the strength of regions and gives them everything they need to develop. What we see in Nigeria is a situation where looters get the opportunity to lead and their tribesmen defend them, not knowing we are all victims of bad leadership.

A country works where people share the same ideals or are ready to forge ahead with one strong constitution. It's okay if we keep pushing this country believing that things may work in the future, but we should stop deceiving ourselves thinking that diversity has improved Nigeria because it clearly hasn't.

This country lacks equity, fairness and justice. Until that is addressed, there will be no genuine progress. It will always be a step forward and three steps backwards. For instance, if the North had the crude oil that has been used to run this country for decades, Nigeria would have split a long time ago.

There'd be one person on this thread who always feels he makes sense but always end up typing with bitterness, disjointed false allegations, and yet offpoint.

Not just tribalistic, but also a nonentity in real life.

Nice one…

They say Nigeria is a country of 450 tribes. I have always wondered and tried to compile a comprehensive list even though I have never succeeded past maybe 30 at most at a time.

Your list is more comprehensive and I commend your work even though still a short fall from the 450 being taught in schools.

Nigeria is indeed beautiful in a diverse way.

I believe though some of these smaller tribes maybe on the verge of extinction while some others would have lost their identity completely or merged with bigger tribes that surround and may have engulfed them.

Lets celebrate our diversity. We can’t afford to lose ourselves!

@OP/@Nairalanders,

Like the phrase 'third world', which is now no longer used in most progressive circles, can we all desist from qualifying our various ethnic groups as 'tribes'?
It is an invidious term that has been used to denigrate Africans over time and, as such, one that should not be allowed to feature prominently in modern discourse.

Nah appeal I appeal.
