I met a Nigerian couple today. As soon as I engaged them I felt something was different with the wife. I asked where they were originally from in NG. The man replied with "Imo", and the wife with "Taraba". I almost screamed in shock. That was my first time ever of seeing or talking to anyone from Taraba.

The diversity of NG is truly amazing and worthy of appreciation. Only if the evil politicians and their equally evil hangers-on can be retired.

Which brings me to the question of the day. How many states of NG have you physically interacted with people from?

I have been to and interacted with people from all 17 southern states, and with people from Kogi, Kwara, Adamawa (just one person😀😀😀), Jigawa, Kano, Bornu, Niger, and Kaduna. I have been to Abuja but never interacted with a native, as also with people from the remaining 11 northern states. I'm just imagining how somebody from Zamfara thinks, talks, or look like.

God bless Nigeria minus the evil politicians and their brainwashed supporters.

Igbo, yoruba, hausa, fulani, tiv, orhobo, akwaibom/calabar, op too numerous...

Op you forgot to mention c.ursed agbado boys that were recently recruited here for defending this wicked government??

Yes oo, they recruited your fellow country people and they're defending them on nairaland...na man dey do man

Nigeria is not big in landmass, but diverse in ethnicity.

Each of Alaska, North & South Dakota and Montana are bigger than Nigeria in size.

If wishes were horses.😔

Even with all that Nigeria was molded by a racist white man and his racist chick
The curse is massive.

The North from the Extreme End of Sokoto and Kebbi to Borno And Adamawa State seems the same people the same culture and only slight different. In fact it will be very difficult to differentiate them because they speak the same language (Hausa) bear the same names and dress the same, myopic southerners always assume all the people are Hausa or Fulani and Muslims.

them go soon drag you. Children of Hate
They believe in ONE messiah that want to save only, when is in power

Start by asking yourself how many Nigerian languages apart from yours can you speak ?

Hmm

Our Leaders/Politicians employing Divide & Rule tactics have made us never to speak with one voice, by dividing us along Ethnic & Religious lines.

&Fear of Insecurity has also prevented many Nigerians from visiting many interesting places in this Country.

But that is also our major problem in this country.


The diversity has been a curse so far.

u still no get sense shame on u. U still bring up ethnic insult contradicting entirely to what d op is trying to point out. See what politician has successfully turn some people to

Nigerians generally are good people. It's our politicians desperate for power that make them to invent tactics and words to divide us. Unfortunately the youth of these days are following the politicians hook line and sinker.

That's too bad.

Na diversity wey don scatter Nigeria dey make body dey sweet you so... 🤦🏽‍♂️

It won't stop Yorubas from attacking and stopping other ethnic groups from voting in south west.


Even Northerners they always insult don't attack voters in their region.




We're just deceiving ourselves because division is best.

I've met and interacted with all 37 states indigenes. Visited all the states too except for 2 state capitals, but I've touched some their remote villages of those 2.

For what it's worth Diversity of Nigeria is one reason why the country is the way it is...

Am a Waja wth mix of Bolewa

Diversity is one of the big problems we are having right now.

If our people feel that they are part of a great nation and they are prepared to will the means to keep it great, then a great nation we shall be, and shall remain. So, what can stop us from achieving this? What then stands in our way?

We always talk about diversity in a country whose ethnicities are chiefly people of the same race. Funnily enough, we cannot manage it.

If we had a bunch of races living together in one geographic location (like the US, Singapore, etc.),what would we have called it? 😊😊

My wife is igbo nd i am from the north mr. op

It's worth celebrating honestly..

Just that, our political leaders always succeed in dividing us the gullibles, illiterates/villagers and the ones who went through school but have refused to be wise because of tribal sentiments..

I am hopeful that one day we shall get it right...

Yes but not with this present structure

Every tribe must be allowed to govern themselves and most importantly police themselves

Then there can be unity

I hope some idiot wil not turn this wonderful thread to tribalism thread...

I disagree

Our diversity is good but it comes with a curse.

Every tribe wants to lord over other tribes if given the opportunity. Tribalism is real, Racism is real.

We do not speak one language, we have different cultures and values, and we understand things differently.

Nigeria will never work if the government does not go back to regional governance. Every region for himself.

You select bad leaders, and that one concerns you and your region. Your leaders lavish your natural resources, that one concern you and your region.

Let the South West keep profits of its ports, real estate, and industries to itself.

Let the North, keep profits from its Agriculture, Gold and Lithium to itself

Let the South East keep profits from its Gas, Coal and Columbite.

Let the South-South keep profits from its crude oil and ports to itself.

Let every region pay a percentage as taxes to the FG.

If these things are not done, our diversity remains a curse.
