Nigerians at the grassroot level still love each other. I went to see a friend in the weekend when I came across some group of hausa guys that practice the traditional way of hair cuts. Surprisingly the person, whose having the haircut was an Igbo guy and some yoruba's. They were actually discussing, BIAFRA, Afenifere, Boko Haram laughing over it. Insisting that nigeria will overcome this challenges.

I couldn't help but reflect the Love we have for each other, amidst all this beckering and backing biting the Elites politicians do. You go to a face me I face you house in any state around Nigeria like lagos, Port Harcourt, Abia, Sokoto, Kano, down to Calabar. You would meet pa chinedu greeting his neighbour Malam Garba or playing draft with baba wale. Its awesome how we have come a long way but is allowing the Elites dictate, and spoil the love and bond our founding father started.
It's most unfortunate the lies are tiring us Apart.

Rest for me would like my children to experience the love, fight, reconciliation, gestation I had with my fellow, igbo, yoruba, ijaw, kanuri, igbira,hausa/fulani which I am and so on ( I would not forget then in school they call me Malam cos am hausa, I get angry but at end of the day I accepted it knowing it was love they were showing me.) for them to have that same childhood joy I had. GOD I Miss those days.
GOD protect our bond and restore our lost glory.
Ameen Ameen.


Appologies the way the pic were snaped had take extra caution and also try to protect the identity of people.

GOD Bless Us All
GOD Bless Nigeria and everyplace else.

The internet is deceptive, it may have you hating yourselves for no reasons. I know everything here is grossly exaggerated so i don't really take it seriously. Nigeria isn't dividing for a very very long time, quit deceiving yourselves. Reality is far more complex.

Nice observation there 'malam' mandhi

mele-mele n'ihu, gba mkpiti n'azu.
Go into their hearts or check their secret group discussions. Don't be decieved by their mere appearance.

My blooder 4get all this social network noises oooo, about yolobas, yeebos, APChits and PDPits sympathisers, are all suffering the same injusties,oppression and marginalisation from their govt. The PHCN bill does not know tribe or region,neither do DSTv,Gotv recharge, same for telecommunication recharge cards. Yet ntwork/services is very poor

I think most of the hate filled remarks by tribal war lords are carried out by mostly bush IBO people like the "devil himself" and some lunatics like majoroflagos,xtract etc, but in the real sense, there exists a strong bond between all tribes in major cities like Kaduna,Kano and lagos even though a little misunderstanding can be expected.

So op, allow those lunatics to continue enjoying the privileges of the internet.

Yes oooo. Its just a food for thought.

How come I don't see this bonding during elections?

Am Igbo from IMO, and my fiancé is igbira from kogi. We argue Biafra a lot, we never agree on the issue but the love that binds us has been so strong.

Hopefully and Godwilling, she would mother my children coz I love her so so much.

Most of the war that is fought in Nigeria ends on the Internet. Average Nigerians irrespective of ethnicity /religious beliefs roll well on the streets.

But OP oo, e be like say you be barber, na so so pictures of people wey de barb you full here.

You look at some of the naturally countrymen and declared them persona non grata and you want peace? Hahaha. The country is in pieces already. Buhari is already making it happen.

Don't mind the biafran riffraffs here. I hurl insults at them all day but around seven in the evening I'm with my ibo friends, we drink and discuss up till nine then we go home.

.

there are some people people that aren't interested in reality...they just lie themselves to destruction. A lot nigerians fall in this category.

Your own mind and opinion.

Rubbish!Continue to deceive yourself . The truth is that we dislike ourselves and we are just tolerating one another. Deep within our deep souls,we know that one Nigeria is a myth and several differences exist between all tribes.
A serious country would have had a robust discourse about these issues but no, we all turn the other way deceiving ourselves. You have a lot of stereotypes,negatively among all tribes in this country. A peep into the orientation camp during NYSC will give the perception about Nigeria and her people.

Thanks
Amen that God should bless my union but like I said, we argue a lot about Biafra and I happen to be on the side of Biafra. It shouldnt stop me from living in the north, bdw there are Scotts that live in London.

You made my day! Nigerians indeed love themselves, it is the elites that are creating divisive tendencies amongst us for political gains.
I can confidently say i am what i am today because of the love showered on me by a KALABARI and a FULANI MAN and thier family. Everything that goes up must come down, no doubt there is bitterness in the land orchestrated by the elites, but we could channel this bitterness against ourselves to productive use by recreating our environment and life using the principle of, Love thy Neighbour as thyself!

WE SHOULD STOP DECEVING OURSELVES. I AM BEGINNING TO DISLIKE YORUBAS AND HAUSAS.

Thanks so much for your observation op.
I think its only people that have not left their places or deeply insecure that spew those stuffs on NL.
My fiancée is Igbo and I'm Yoruba. We will be getting married soon and there's nothing any tribalist can do about that TRUTH.
But those who that are deeply hating a particular tribe will continue to suffer for they will even reject my help on the days of their needs. They think those they hate are their enemies not knowing their enemies can be found in their mirror.

I still love my Igbo prospective in-laws.
Igbo Kwenu!!!!

Our heart has hardened, we are not settling for medium talk more of less this time around, my dear check the people shouting one Nigeria for decades now and tell me how they have tried unite the country, the only people practicing and uniting the one nigeria of a nation are that same people calling for secession now...... Others pay lip-service about one Nigeria but we do the binding..... Once again our emotions has been thrown to the lagoon, our hearts have hardened, we can only love or smile when we get our #Biafra #Peaceout

Thw question is do you have a childhood friend you grew up with from another tribe and how do relate with him, how feel about him. As for the orientation camp, if take a look at the article again you will u/stand I said that we are actually making them succeeding. Something we should never have allowed. The orientation camp example is one. When go to camp because we have allow the elite politician to brain us by believing the nonsense they say, we take that mentality to places we are posted and we show them distrust. Those that get the courage to interact or do business. see otherwise and they cement it with everlasting friendship.

All am saying here is, if the Elites wouldn't open discussion within the various tribes the Grassroot should do so. Thereby making the Elites looking like fools. No offence to our Elites though.

Very very true, the funny aspect is every Nigerian that shows hatred for the other tribe, when investigated would be found to have his very best friend from that tribe. If you confront him on that, he might end up telling you his different from everyone in their tribe.

We seriously need to build our institution on the prickles of Love thy neighbour as thy self.


GOD Bless Nigeria and everyplace else.
