Why Is There So Much Tribalism In Nigeria? by FUTURE4202(m): 4:15pm On Jul 08
I do not think Nigeria will ever move forward, i reason is the level of tribalism ND hatred different tribes has for each other.

For a country to move forward it's essential for it's citizens to unite(putting their tribes ND religions behind) for the betterment of the nation. In the case of Nigeria it's a different thing entirely. People are suffering, of wch we all know that 100%(including the rich ND poor) knows dis, but instead of looking for a way forward like other countries do some people still support ND praise the bad ND wicked govt out of tribalism.

So becoz he is ur tribal man(be it Igbo, Yoruba, hausa, or even another tribe) we should suffer abi? Instead of saying the true as it's so we can collaborate together ND put an end to dis nonsense govt some idiots(we have many of dem here) we come online to support ND back their rubbish govt all becoz of tribalism. Funny thing is dat most of dem are seriously suffering but will keep defending rubbish.

I didn't vote in the last election ND never supported any body or party, dis is becoz i knew very well dat it will be a waste of time as par dey already know who go enter the office.

But if i was to vote i would have voted obi not becoz i am igbo or even anyway close to being one.But base on popular demand ND most importantly just to give a try, but when tinubu won i just ascepted it even though it was very clear dat he ND inec rigged the election, thinking maybe he will do perfect ND restore Nigeria, becoz i wasn't too sure about obi myself(i just cannot trust Nigeria politicians) talk less of seeing one as a savior.

But since tinubu got into office it has been all bad, no hope, ND i wonder why we are still gentle on that. But then i remember tribalism, i saw a big reason Nigeria can never move forward.

Like i said earlier, i never had a candidate ND did not till now i just wan a govt dat i move this nation to it promise land. I don't care where the government is coming from(in terms of tribes) if my tribal man get to power ND misbehave i will proudly come out ND shame him(if i have the opportunity to even end his life i will) as pal the suffering he is putting a million of people.

If Nigerians can put tribe, religion, ND all barrels aside, come together as one nation ND demand for a change consistently ND unshaked i assure we will get there i no time. I am ready to volunteer anytime, anyday, for the freedom of this nation citizens. But i must see a readiness spirit from my fellow Nigerians.
Wole Soyinka once said ND i quote "the man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny"

Tribalism is the political weapon our wicked politicians ND govt use in silencing ND binding us in Nigeria(and i must say our religious leaders are not helping matters at all in terms of togetherness against tribalism.)

Until tribalism ND religions are put aside Nigeria will or may never see the light.

God help Nigeria ND Nigerians 🙏.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done to fix Nigeria. Our erstwhile colonial master, who put us together didn't do so for us to succeed. Remember,
"Divide & Conquer"!
Whilst we remain in this fake One united Nigeria, none of the individual nations that make up this country will ever reach her full potentials. We will just keep perambulating like we have been doing for the past 6 decades (since independence) and still counting.

Nigerians has nothing that binds them together. We have many lines of divisions and that has prohibited any sense of Nationalism. Anybody that claims to be happy with Nigeria is either a member of party in power or a member of the leaders ethnic or religious group.

That is because it has become a state policy since the apc came into power.

They use it as a weapon to cause division and disunity so that they can continue to rape and pillage the country.

Today, bad governance is justified under ethnic grounds and any criticism, no matter how sound and justified is given ethnic colouration so that the substance of the criticism is lost and the focus because a tribal war.
