Toke Makinwa Talk about the Oba's Statement, Recounts A Personal Experience by freshy1vy345: 11:58am On Apr 07, 2015 |
What the media personality shared on instagram this morning concerning tribal differences... 'There is so much to say on this topic, it is heartbreaking but real. Tribalism has been and is still been practiced today. Lagos is home for everyone, our generation knows better too. Let's not let this come in between us, the OBA's statement was ignorant but do we really blame him? We all at some point in our lives have been on the receiving end of acts of tribalism. Let's take out the tension and be real with each-other. Our parents generation practiced tribalism openly and they were not corrected. In some homes befriending people from other tribes was frowned on, marrying from another tribe is still being frowned on today, tribalism even from people of the same tribe is real too. What we need is to educate and not instigate. I had Igbo friends growing up, I was the only Yoruba girl in the midst of Igbo girls. Did they make fun of me? Sometimes but it wasn't out of malice. We lived, we loved and we are still very close. I have had a friend's mum tell me "haaa omo ondo ni e? Mi o mo ooo, a kin ba ondo sore" meaning - I'm from Ondo? She didn't know.... If she had, she won't let her daughter befriend me cos they don't like Ondo people, Ondo and Ijebu don't mix... I was shocked. She went ahead and said "You Ondo people are wicked". My friend is from Ijebu ooooo, we are both Yoruba girls and that statement was made by her mum. We are still friends today and her mum got over it. Please educate people around you. Vote who you want, vote your conscience but please stop with the tribalism comments. Our beauty is in our diversity. It is a distraction, don't fall for it. Let's all live as one.' source: linda ikeji blog 1 Like

Abeg Toke should go and rest. She's here preaching against tribalism, 2moro she'll post pictures of herself in another country away from home where she should really be standing up against the tribalism It's not all matters she should make herself relevant in |

Nonsense. Lagos is only home for all when there are mosques in every town in the East. |

Any comment that is politically hijacked, forget it. The damage will be grave. So, it is good to say that tribalism is not our problem, but politics is. |

All in the name of appeasing their Igbo followers or what? I have Igbo friends and they asked me about the matter, I told them flat out: I won't correct the Oba of my home because of yall. You all know my stance on tribalism and if that isn't enough, feel how you wanna. I will not try to correct the Oba's statement. And as to this attention seeking rat, speak for yourself please. I've had Igbo friends whose parents are nice to me and I've had Igbo friends whose parents won't even allow their sons to use my car to pick them up from Mma because I'm Yoruba lool. Leave nonsense matter. Na only Igbo be the non Yoruba tribe Wey de Lagos? T'ilu ba gboro, alejo o Le ti onile s'ita! Respect yourselves Igbo Lagosians. Respect yourselves. Coming from the east to insult our king no matter what will have serious consequences. Ambode or Jimi, things will never be the same for Igbos in Lagos. 1 Like |

We are all lagosians, let's not vote like this is the last life we are going to use on earth, lets vote like there is still more years for us, Everybody for the Ambode and nothing will go wrong, Akinwunmi Ambode as offered himself to bring progress to nigeria so why will we lagosians want to let another party come and decieve us, NEVER , we are sharper than that and I believe that lagosians will vote wisely. My people vote Akinwunmi Ambode as Governor of Lagos state and let's move forward, let the continuity in the good works begin..m.#noshaking |

the fact that lagosians made non lagosians comfortable in lagos doesn't make lagos a no mans land... i see that PDP have really deceived so many people to make dem bliv dat lagos is no mans land. think well, if ur dad allow a stranger to stay in his house and the stranger one day wake up n say this is my house nobody can send me out, how would u feel? be sincere |
