NEW LEVEL OF TRIBALISM AMONG NIGERIANS
(By Rambo 001)

Tribal discrimination and hatred among Nigerians are no longer just on the basis of Hausa-Fulani versus Igbos or Igbo versus Yoruba, etc. The greatest and fastest growing basis of discrimination, envy and hatred among Nigerians are Nigerians in Nigeria versus Nigerians outside Nigeria.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time this problem is being expressed openly in a forum like this. This basis of rivalry and hatred, like other bases of discrimination, is encouraged by the official policies of Nigerian government and fanned up by the social and economic conditions that prevail in Nigeria.

Every basis of discrimination, envy, hatred and rivalry is triggered by some subtle competition over limited resources. We can see this at play in the relationship dynamics between Nigerians outside Nigeria and Nigerians within Nigeria. One set has better economic opportunities, better education and enjoy greater liberties and higher life expectancy. The other is poorer and have to resort to crimes (example, scam by yahoo boys and corruption by politicians) in other to survive or compete.

There is ample room for envy. Over 90% of Nigerian youths, given the opportunity to emigrate to Europe or North America, will like to emigrate. If you doubt it, look at the number dying in Libya and drowning in the Mediterranean, just to escape from Nigeria.

Those who cannot leave envy those who were able to leave. Those who have left want to be able to remain relevant and influential in Nigeria, as their home country. But this is made hard by those who did not leave. Nigeria is the only country of its size where its citizens overseas are not allowed to vote in Nigerian elections. Even Syria, which has been at war, allowed its citizens outside Syria to vote in Syrian elections. Not so for Nigeria. Indeed, there are many other ways Nigerians overseas are terribly punished if they try to return to Nigeria. Example, they are special target for police extortion, kidnapping and other vices.

You see clearly this phenomenon at play in the way Nigerians react to President Trump's administration. Over 95% of Nigerians in America and Europe (like other immigrant communities) see Trump's administration as against their interest. But over 90% of Nigeria in Nigeria who are on social media support Trump. They support Trump unconsciously because Trump's administration's policies are oppressive to their countrymen in America.

The latest American visa ban will now prevent wives in Nigeria from joining their husbands in America. Family members in Nigeria cannot join their relatives in America who have filed immigration applications for them in America. A Ghanian in America can bring over his relative from Ghana. But a Nigerian in America cannot bring over his relative from Nigeria. What about those that got married last December? The wife can no longer join the husband. The man will now have to return to Nigeria to live with his wife, which is actually what the envious Nigerian in Nigeria prays for. So, below the consciousness level, the Nigerian in Nigeria is happy to see fellow Nigerians in America suffer in America, just the way a member of one tribe in Nigeria would like to see members of other tribes suffer. Otherwise, how could Nigerians in Nigeria know and understand American government better than Nigerians in America?

President Trump's visa ban is a crushing blow to the average Nigerians who have the opportunity to move to America. But those Nigerians who do not have similar opportunity are happy with that. One lady who was denied American visa last year captured this reality perfectly when she posted on her Facebook wall: "I wish they can stop every Nigerian from going to America and send back those who have gone".

And if you see any group claiming to have been responsible for causing the visa ban, you should join in calling such group a fraud.

We need to recognize this problem. Nigerians outside Nigeria need to understand that their relatives back home don't necessarily wish them well. Hopefully by discussing this, we will get people to be aware of the danger and curtail it.

Nigeria is a joke, a sick joke.

The best method available to settle this kind of feud is of course to stage an old fashioned duke-out that will pit the most talented Nigerian Mixed Martial Arts practitioners currently residing outside of Nigeria, against their counterparts currently marooned in the Nigerian wilderness.

To minimize bloodshed during this clash of the titans, I would suggest that no bladed instruments be allowed during the bouts, but that the combatants should be allowed to deploy wooden clubs during the skirmishes, with the caveat that they kindly refrain from delivering killing blows.

As a resident of the Benin Republic, next door to Nigeria, I am prepared to kick off the proceedings by boldly climbing into the ring and fighting to the death, if necessary, against any Nigerian martial arts expert that is currently languishing within Nigeria, and consumed with jealousy because I am enjoying a life of opulent decadence and wanton debauchery with multiple comely wenches, right here in Sango's own country - Cotonou.

If you feel that you might be up to the task of beating me in a fair fight that does NOT abide with the Queensferry Rules of gentlemanly fisticuffs, please enlist your name in this discussion topic, and hey, may the best man win.

I understand your perspective dear poster and it is true. You however can not blame Nigerians in Nigeria totally. Do you know how disdainfully most of those Nigerians in America treat their relatives in Nigeria? How they see themselves as above others, how especially, those whose parents stole from this country to give them a life outside here, they still come back and treat those in Nigeria like shit? Granted, there are those very good ones who just want the best for everyone and they try to make it known. But the majority is always the sad one, Nigerians in Nigeria are treated as shit, beggars, unworthy, below class and those who shouldn't be mingled with just because that person has been to yankee. I don't totally blame them though, even abroad, they too are treated with disdain especially by mulattoes who feel their ancestors were betrayed by the African continent. It won't change, we can only work towards making Nigeria great again so that everyone can be comfortable at least.

Those who are rejoicing about the visa ban are those who have lost faith and confident in themselves which is selfish to me.

Why should they be happy about something that will affect their fellow Nigerians?

Having said that, our government also are not doing enough in tackling the security lapses in the country.. Though the banning Na Shakara cos both countries will feel.the economic impacts

ok

The mental illness that you describe has been known to generations of Nigerians as "Abinto" phonetically, meaning "I've been to -", intended as a derisive term mockingly applied as a title for those who arrive in Nigeria after short vacation trips, or perhaps after many years mopping supermarket floors or flipping burgers in the inner-city ghetto branch of Macdonalds while OVERSEAS, only for them to adopt hilarious fake American accents whenever visiting or returning forever to Nigeria, as an idiotic ploy to highlight their own pathetic delusions of grandeur.

A typical symptom of the "Abinto" psychosis, would be when an obviously Nigerian man says in his best fake accent, "I gorro-gorro New York, Mehhhn." By the time this sort of speech is observed, the patient is pretty much beyond any hope of an induced return to sanity and rationality.
