Why must the Yoruba woman win the fight in your write up, why didn't the igbo woman Win? Yet you want peace, for where, we will finish this in heaven ![]() Btw, Igbos are now growing onions incase you don't know. 3 Likes |

Sad thing is,it's too late already. No amount of preaching will make nigerians see themselves as one. It is advisable we split into a million piece if obtainable(after all this union was not made in heaven)or we may end up killing ourselves in the nearest future and this time,it won't be 3 sections teaming up against 1, but a mohammedian-conquer-and-dominate free for all. This is the naked truth. 1 Like |

I have tried to understand why people go tribal. it just doesn't dwell good with me. I hope we get it right. When I meet a new person, first you are human before anything else. My motto: supreme love for God, sincere love for man. 3 Likes |

Nice write up but the plot of what we want to become is set in utopia. I do not see us loving each other as yet. There is deep distrust and animousity ingrained and etched in our consiousness. All but one of the yoruba ladies i dated had to leave at some point because i am igbo. All entreaties to make them realize we hold the key to change the scenario fell on deaf ears. As a person i have tried to be deribalized but the next person sees me not as human or nigerian but as Igbo. The gap is not going to be covered in my generation, sadly. We are today's youth and the future of this country but is there really a country? I doubt it. There was rather, a country. With the level of acrimonoius rancour, if they ever is a war, it will be internecenine and from the ashes will arise nothingness because we will all be engulfed, decimated and wiped off.

standd: My dear after eating your dinner let's converse...sadly or rather unfortunately it's true, tribalism is even practised in schools .. my first direct experience of tribalism was in my second year in unilag, I met a girl we where dating then one day I met her folks and when they learnt I was igbo they told their daughter to be done with the relationship. Second one was when my elder brother was graduating from the faculty of engineering in unilag...the HOD called my mum and explained to her that my elder brother couldn't be given a first class because he isn't from the West, a Yoruba...so he graduated with a 2:1. These are real facts that can be proven... This also happens to a friend of mine who graduated as a doctor from LUTH, he wasn't given as distinction because he wasn't yoruba. So when the schools are teaching tribalism what do you expect? Igbos born in the west are indirectly taught to hate their language and tribe, hence a lot of them try to be Yoruba. I feel so sad about this tribalism problem facing this country for its too far gone to be helped. 5 Likes 1 Share |

A beautiful write-up, Standd. But I don't know if unity is plausible at present. You see, the seed of hatred, dis-unity, tribalism was sewn deep into the fabrics of our lives by our parents, grandparents and ancestors and being worsened by the present political madness. Even amongst the same tribe, discrimination prevails, not to talk of other tribes. I really don't see us coming together as one in the near future. One can only hope. 1 Like |

lestat:you are painting everything as if its a yoruba thing, my brother was also denied admision to study law in unizik, his admision was canceled on the screening date, it was the faculty secretary that told him that as an ofemannnnu he doesnt worth the admision, an average igbo man wants evil to befall yoruba land heck your people celebrated the supposed boko haraam attack on lagos |

Wonderful, wonderful piece. Its really terrible this hate in our land. Not even just among the major tribes but even among communities that are relatively brothers in the same state. I am fortunate to be born Igbo, but was born & bred in Lagos and have lived here all my life. I went to a unity school in the north and still have friends who are northerners even after 20 something years. My best friends r from the minor ethnic groups and I believed with my all rounder cultural orientation, I wild have a generation of children who do not know this hatred. I was shocked a few years back, when my daughter then about 5 or 6 years announced that she hates Yoruba people because they are smelly and dirty. She cold have only picked that up in one place, from her friends who have already been indoctrinated with that hate. Its sad really. I've had to work on that mindset constantly 2 Likes |

Deal With Whatever Situation, Its a No Love Lost Issue Whether You Accept It Or Not. In as Much as I Try To Preach Oneness and Unity, There Has To Be at Least an Ounce Of Similarity Between These Three Giant Tribes. To Be Honest, Searching For Similarity Brought To My Awareness and Realisation That I Could Fall Out My Findings Haul With a Walking Stick. Not Trying To Drop a Fly In Your Ointment Clamouring For One Big Nigeria"(Well,Guess What? We've Tested It and Look How It Turn)But I Think We'd Survive With Better Understanding Apart, Peacefully Of Course. My Post Doesn't Have To Cut Ice Nor Hold Water To Your Individualistic Perception, Its Just My Opinion. And If You're Real And Truthful To Your Self You'd Know This. |

Tell Yourselves The Truth, Can a Hardcore Yoruba/Igbo/Hausa Man Who Isn't Abreast To Modernisation Live With Themselves. Take an Hausa From The North, Take an Igbo Man From The East and Join Them Together With The Yoruba Man . These are The True Average Nigerians,Not Me and You With Little Or Vast Education. Its Bad That We With Our Depth Of Information and Awareness Can't Live Together Talk less Of The Uneducated and Miss-Informed ,and What not. ![]() |
