Buhahahaha. You are the foools begging for freedom from slavery. Chukwuma, you will die a loyal slave. Sorry ehn. Lmao

Ryabcool:
I will not deny it. But please know that I've been on this forum for a long time, long before I finally registered as a member. I was here on this forum and I witnessed how the whole tribalism started. Believe me when I say it was people from the other side who fired the first shot. And trusting Yorubas, they never take an insult without returning theirs back. That was how it escalated to what it is today. In fact the tribalism you see on Facebook, punch, and other social media outlets have their roots here on nairaland. Nairaland politics section started the online tribalism pervading our entire social media stratosphere.

Please note that I am not holding brief for the Yoruba as we also have a huge hand in this mess. But that does not mean I should continue taking insults over something unwarranted.

teasel:


Yeah, right!
Of course, you'll see it that way beause you're yoruba. I first came across this forum sometime in 2008. This tribalism crap didn't start in the politics section. It started in the crime section. Users from your tribe made it a habit of calling out a certain ethnic group each time a crime is committed. From there, it spread to other sections and so on. In fact, the politics section only got infected when "tribal politics" became a norm for the useless Nigerian politicians.

In other words, spare this forum your self righteous bullshit of "we're not tribalistic. We're just retaliating".
It's disgusting.

I've modified my previous comment. You can go read now

MsZeezah:

Wait, are you stupid or trying to be? Everybody is entitled to be stupid once in a while, but you my lady are abusing that privilege.

I typed a reply to whatever rubbish you wrote up there and you're asking me if this is standd?? Jeez, homegirl, you astonish me. I used to think you're reasonable but you just proved me otherwise. I think you're the one who is pained here, cos you could not muster enough words to at least give me an intellectual reasoning why you think what I wrote the first time is wrong. Instead you struck it out.

Now, in your deluded mind you still went ahead and painted a picture of me being pained? Ctfo. I don't even know what to type again. Madam. It's past 10pm in Nigeria, go sleep and maybe your medulla will factory reset before morning. Goodnight

FYI: using so much emojis in your posts just outed you as the person who is pained and trying so hard to hide behind those smiley faces. #ByeFelicia

MizMyColi:


Talk of double speak and blatant hypocrisy.
Yet you're quick to label a certain group tribal bigots. Pray tell, in what light does the post you made above portray you?

He speaks his mind on the passage of a fallen comrade, and stands with the southerners on the selective political vendetta they're going through in the hands of this government, and his lineage must now be questioned?

Madam, FYI, it is people like Fayose, My Best Friend, and a certain NLER that makes me retract whenever I want to speak in favour of Biafra.
Fayose keeps correcting the notion that the Yorubas are treacherous and deceitful. He makes me have high hopes for the ONE NIGERIA project.
He is a man of his words, he is no fair weather politician. He stands up for what he perceives as right, even if he stands alone.
He is no bandwagoner

The wise would seek to emulate him.
Fayose is a role model.

Deal with it or keep living in denial.




Your moniker confirms you're a naughty girl. I have nothing more to say to you.
In the meantime, take this padlock and go lock his mouth. Then throw the keys into the atlantic ocean.

Same old story.
Again, spare this forum your self righteous bullshit of "we're not tribalistic. We're just retaliating"
It's plain disgusting.

Interesting you hold this opinion against people of the Southwest

Treacherous and deceitful

I had always assumed your support for Jonathan and PDP was centred along correcting seeming misguided opinions about him rather than a blanket dislike of an ethnic group which was part of the opposition bloc

Interesting

This is at dissonance with all your messages of hope, second chances, love, grace etc
I wonder why young people allow themselves to be consumed by hatred spilled over from self serving politicians

None of the people you lot are rabid about give a hoot about you

Ryabcool:
hate can only be concealed for so long, but it will eventually show its ugly head. She has always had that thought, she was just good at concealing it and hadn't found a concrete reason to bring it out. I just pity those yorubas who call her a friend without knowing what's really inside that mind of hers. Shame, really.

pickabeau1:


This is a former VP of this country who went abroad to treat a leg break

Where are the hospitals he built

Akpabio claimed h built a superclass hospital yet he jetted out at first light

Instead of us to have a common voice against these kleptocrats who have looted our commonwealth,we allow ourselves to be manipulated on ethno-religious grounds

People are losing jobs daily yet they blame the other tribe or religion

Pathetic

Exactly. The loon is just plain delusional. It's like the standd person really hit her where it hurts the most, cos she can't seem to let go. She kept calling me standd! I had no option than to go look up who the person is Stupid ass shrek looking hoodrat! Hiss

Just imagine... Just imagine... We've had 55 years of independence, one should think that the populace should have had ample time to know what they want for themselves and what they expect from the leaders they put in office. But look at our leaders of tomorrow calling some people "treacherous and deceitful"... Truth be told, even our young generation can not effect the true change we want. We've allowed ourselves to be brainwashed. Regrettably, the generation coming after us has a ton of work to do.

Misterlaby:

You are just wasting your time believing all the bullshit online 'bragado' people like her feed you guys with daily. You know character is like smoke, hers is gradually seeping out of her facade, she can't hide anymore.

Pick,
Did you not read my comment?

I said "Correcting THE NOTION that the Yoruba people are so and so"
And you interpret that to mean I am calling the Yoruba people "treacherous and deceitful"?

All I did was to clearly point out the utter bias in modaths statement.

This attack on my person as a tribalist and all the innuendos you made above is clearly as a result of your refusal to read, comprehend and understand.

pickabeau1:


I never called you a ethnicist
You did

By expressing surprise that Fayose is countering your THE notion that SW are treacherous an unfaithful

It was your notion not mine which is to relate with everyone as I meet them
The best people who have been kind to me in my journey of life have actually been people of other ethnic groupings so I will not come online to bandy ethnic notions

I read and comprehended very well

I just expressed surprise which was my opinion

Afterall you are also entitled to your opinion of a tribe or a person


NOUN
NOTION - 1.a conception of or belief about something:
"children have different notions about the roles of their parents"
synonyms: idea · belief · concept · conception · conviction · opinion · view ·
[more]

Pick, let me ask you
Is MY Notion the same as THE notion?
Or do you want it to be my notion?

Look at this example; "The notion that Obama is an antichrist has held sway among certain groups for a while now, however, his actions as a man who revers familial bonds keeps correcting such"
Does the emboldened also make it my notion? my belief?

The ethnic angle was raised by the person I quoted, I had a choice to act in denial or attack such head on.
Asides this thread, have you ever seen me mention anything about the Yorubas or any other tribe anywhere?

There is the notion that the Igbos are arrogant and will do anything to make money.
Does that make it entirely true or false?

If a person told me "MizColi corrects the notion that Igbos are Arrogant, I would take it as a compliment.
I am making myself clear here because I do respect you, and we've come a long way.

But if it gives you a sense of peace and quiet to fix me to a particular tag, then by all means
It's your prerogative after all.

It would be better if you just admit that you didn't convey your thoughts properly. What you wrote up there is not justifiable by trying to go technical with words.

Hmm... as I said earlier

I have always wanted an objective view from yourself on the acts of the current administration and that of the past

I agree with you that the current polity leaves much to be desired

On the notion issue............However I hear what you have said

At least, you did not block me on whatsapp like nd44 did.

Also, with the way people were attacking the statement, even though I didn't mean any harm, I somehow felt bad that my best friend will misunderstand too. He is Yoruba. Why would I think such towards a people who have been so gracious to me?

I summoned courage this morning and told him everything, even showed him my posts on this thread.
Though, before saying anything to him, I asked him "Dee, what would be your reaction if you heard I said this somewhere; "Dotun keeps correcting the notion that Yorubas are treacherous and deceitful..." He replied...."Awww I owe you a kiss for that then, that's a compliment y'know"
The reply I first gave you on this thread were his thoughts, those weren't my words. I just personalized it.

Well, thanks.
For giving me grace.

MizMyColi:


At least you sound civil this time.
Isn't it surprising how you lot left the person who attacked one of your own because he held a different view and attacked me who spoke up in defense of him?

I wrote in words, I will explain myself in words.
There is nothing technical-ish here.
Last I checked the english dictionary, the difference between "MY and THE" has been as clear as day and night.

Like I said, most of you attacking me are doing so as a result of what you want to believe, not because you set out to understand the import of my statement.
And that's okay by me.
GEJ said "Stealing is not corruption"
As many who chose to misunderstand him did.
As many who chose to understand him did.

I returned to this thread because someone I care about quoted me.
I'm sorry in advance if I do not reply more mentions from here.
I usually don't thrive in places with so much concentration of bile and negativity.
It is my right to walk away from such, when, and as I deem necessary.

@MizMyColi


You need to get the way politics here is done
It is full of bile and can never be objective

Until you understand that no one, I repeat no one of the elite in this country is self serving and does not have the interest of the people (even his own tribe) you guys will keep on arguing

Ob objectivity, while I agree the current administration needs to be on its toes, I don't think you have been as objective as you'd like
Sins which the past administrations(16 years - I don't see it as only GEJ but OBJ, YA and GEJ) committed are being forgotten and the current guys are being stoned for the same sins


The same time being beseeched for GEJ in his years after being made the substantive president.. no such grace for PMB
The amount of people killed by terrorists in the last 6 years.. conveniently forgotten.. PMB to blame

This list goes on

A lot of people expected more from the man from Daura but he is just what he is,.. a politician

And guess what.. politicians lie
