*ONCE UPON A COUNTRY*

They have made all efforts to stop History as a subject so that critical information will be lost for ever. But before that happens, please consider the following:

*ONCE UPON A TIME, ONCE UPON A COUNTRY:*

*(1) In 1950 in a place called Lagos, Olorunimbe was the first Mayor of Lagos with Mazi Mbonu Ojike as his deputy.*


*(2) In 1952 a man from Ogwashi Ukwu, by the name of Chief Ekwuiyasi represented Benin West in the Western House of Assembly.*


*(3) In 1956 there was a country... whose first Mayor in a place called Enugu was a Fulani man by the name of Mallam Umaru Altine. He was not appointed but elected TWICE as Mayor.*


*(4) In 1957 there was a country which has a city called Kano, one Felix Okonkwo, as a special member of the Northern House of Chiefs.*


*(5) In 1959 there was a country, a country where when its Eastern House of Chiefs was constituted and a man named Mallam Umaru Yushau, the Sarkin Hausawa or Chief of the Hausas in Onitsha, was elected a member of the Eastern House of Chiefs.*


*(6) In 1961, the people of Aba voted Margret Ekpo to represent them and Abakaliki voted Chief Eyo Bassey (father of AK APC Pub. Sec) both non-Igbos into parliament.*


*(7) Alh Ibrahim Abubakar Imam from Maiduguri represented Tiv land Gboko in the house of representatives.*


*( There was a country which has a place called Port Harcourt. The people of Port Harcourt elected a man called Chief John Umolu (from Etsako in today's Edo State) to represent its municipality in the Eastern Region House of Assembly.*


*(9) Before all these, Obafemi Awolowo led the campaign for Ernest Ikoli, an Ijaw man who defeated Chief Akinsanya in an election in Lagos. Nnamdi Azikiwe led the NCNC to a clean sweep of legislative seats in Lagos.*


*(10) A Ghanaian Barrister practicing on Calabar called Atta Munu represented his town of residence in the first legislature in this country elected by universal adult suffrage.*


To the young people who have always imagined that Nigeria has always been a jungle where lawlessness and tribalism reign, *...this was the way it really was and the way we were.*

*Merit, character and patriotism held sway and the country kept pace with the world.*

But now, you see the youth of our nation that reeks of so much hatred for one another, and because they have been brainwashed by the corrupt politicians. You hear them shouting afonjas, Igbos, abokis derogatory all day and night, and Nairaland being a very good example of such madness!!

That was our Great Country Nigeria before the vultures took over...

Working together, we can have that country, that Nigeria back again.

*Yes we can

God give us good leaders that will make our nation flow with milk and honey!

Only God can do the magic,,,,change our mindset, and free the hate in our mind,,,,,,,,,,,thats the only solution

hmmmm

The recent trend in deducting #20 daily fee from subscribers for absolutely nothing by the Glo network provider is totally criminal in it's entirety. Something should be done about this before it escalates. This is unacceptable. These guys have either lost control or are just being mean. Either way, Glo smells of incompetence right now.

God has given us a great nation.....but our leaders is also the reflection of what the masses are, we need to change our mindset then we can move forward

ONE NIGERIA. NO NEGOTIATION

You are so right and on point bro.
We share the same view.

TheCabal:

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

Who's fault is it, those things were possible because all was seen equal then, no part believe he's wiser, smarter, more blessed, richer than the others, they all had a common goal which is to make their country great, but today we all are after making our region great instead of making the whole country great, we can blame the govt for all these, but we de youth have failed also, we have allowed the greedy elites to excel by selling our rights and future to them... I believe that no matter how worse Nigeria may have become, only the youths can restore it, but I fear if really that's possible with the level of greed and hatred between us the youghs...

When we insult one another on social media,we feel good not knowing we are giving our looting leaders more chance to divide us and impoverish us more.Even other Africans call us 'Igbo','skullminers' and other nonsensical names we call one another here.Why can't we ever speak with one voice against the thieves we call leaders and why do we keep electing them during elections all because we allow ourselves to be divided.Buhari is deceiving everyone and you still find people hailing him...jonathan was a crook and you still see people insulting others on his behalf.It's pathetic.Nigerians are smart and hard working,but divided along ethnic lines, we are not going to have a progressive country

Where was all these moral epiphany during the 2015 elections?

Nairaland is not Nigeria, all tribes so business,drink,eat and marry each other in real life..social media just portrays embellishments.... All those spewing hate online are jobless kids..government needs to provide Jobs

unity beggars on the loose

Nah Nairaland is a microcosm of Nigerian society at large. I use this site to get a glimpse of the mind of my adversaries. Don't be unprepared because this cold civil war could get hot any moment from now.

Unfortunately, Nigeria can never be "One" again without FULL RESTRUCTURING or outright secession. I don't hate other tribes, I hate Nigeria.

Truth there! Recently sold of one of my father's properties in Abuja. The last still on negotiation. I dont think Nigeria can still hold. There is actually no progressive hope as I see it. The hate is blazing...soon it will get out of control.

unfortunately for you, other tribe loathe you.

The campaign of hate against igbos during the 2015 election is still fresh on our minds.

Twitter and nairaland was a testing ground for hate speeches.

Yoruba celebrities even were involved; the kunle movie producer was even involved. Wch is what led to the boycott of his movies in the east.

Igbos voting for their choice is an attack on "Yoruba culture"?

Anyways, tell your tribesmen to stop pretending like they're the "goods ones" here cos they started all this.

You people are fond of starting a fight and running away at the heat of battle..

Lol.
Talking about blame game at this time is stupid of you! A Yoruba family in my Estate moved out of Nigeria last month! Donkey! When the nation soon starts to boil, all the Yoruba churches housing all tribes in the North /MB will go down in flames.

Lol, I have never seen where a Yoruba man give a folk about your culture and heritage. We don't care, so why attacking our own heritage. And when they just warned you, you started victim cry and writing letter to ICC. Just warning o.

Nne don't mind the idiot!
Afonja muslims are the worst zombies. Here in Abuja national mosque, they don't lead in prayers. Have you heard of the word "Yoruba mosque? "That's the segregation that distinguishes them as Hausa Fulani slaves.

Keep on consoling yourself I say. I am enjoying it. But look at the time, it is almost time for you to go and lick shoe.
