ROYALD: PLEASE CAN SOME ONE TELL ME THE MEANING OF ONE NIGERIA? WE SHOUT ALL THE TIME
.WHICH MEANS THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH NIGERIA A NATION

HAVE YOU HAD AMERICANS SHOUTING ONE AMERICA? NO
HAVE YOU HAD GHANA SHOUTING ONE GHANA ? NO
,, ,, TOGO SHOUTING ONE TOGO ? NO

ASK YOURSELF WHAT IS THE WRONG WITH NIGERIA AS NATION?

exactly i view this rubbish "one Nigeria" thing. If a countrymen have to constantly let people know the nation is one then the nation is not one.

OP, Nigeria is not united. we not united online, politics, cultural, educational, religious, etc. it's a divided experiment and just like any other experiment, if it's not binding, try something else. imho, for me to support "one Nigeria" again, the people behind the ridicule of a country this nation has become should be kicked out. I.E: take core north and SW out and try again. if it e no work, continue trying until a good solution is found

let love lead the way.

Marginalization, as opposed to how some people think is quite irrelevant when to the underdevelopment of some parts of this country.

The Northerners have held power more than any zone in Nigeria, yet North is relatively underdeveloped. Obasanjo was president for eight years, the effect is unnoticeable in South West. Goodluck has been ruling since, South South is not developing out of the ordinary.

Nigerians are seeing the problems of this country from a plexiglass; we are not seeing it clearly. The problem is majorly our LEADERS. We have terrible people in the helms of affairs. I've always wondered why no Igbo senator or governor or minister is pro Biafran. Or why no Hausa top echelons practice Islam the way their youth is practicing it. Or why no Yoruba politician is seeing himself better than other tribes and not pallying with others?

Our politicians irrespective of their tribe are busy looting the funds of this country while we the youth are busy fighting each others senselessly.

Is it the Hausas or Igbos that are preventing the South West governors from developing their states? Maybe it is the Igbos that are underdeveloping the North.

If this country splits today - what do the pro 'let's divide' think is going to happen? That our leaders will suddenly change? The same set of people that has been ruling, that are still ruling now will still be the same people that will rule the divided countries.

We think these people are foolish but the truth is that we are not that wise either and they are using us to achieve their aim.

I have come to realise that Yorubas are the major problematic ethnic group and thrives on tribalism.

The poster wrote such a wonder piece and it took a yoruba person to derail the thread ranting on how illiteracy is killing hausas and how un forgiveness is Igbo's major problem.

This type of ranting reminds me of my Nysc camp days: there was an election in my platoon for a financial officer, the yorubas voiced out against the choice of a candidate simply because he's Igbo and to them all Igbos are crooks even without dealing with any Igbo before.

But I appeal to other tribes, do not be like me and generalise this about yoruba.

Granted the most tribalistic set of people I have ever met are yorubas but also the most warm hearted and accepting person I have ever come across is a yoruba person. Do not allow some yoruba bigots shape your opinion of the Yoruba tribe.

The next time any Yoruba bigot attempts to start tribalism on a thread just ignore the post. Do not encourage such e-war of tribalism.

Idowuogbo:
Lmao! May God deliver u.

Amen
But I think Nigeria needs the deliverance more

C'mon honey lets unite the country, Toshmann style

I totally agree with you, however, not all of us have had the (mis)fortune of living amongst these people...
so when we come online and see them fulfilling all the characteristics that one way or another that we have heard of or come to know (of them), its hard not to see them differently...

i have asked a few people that have lived amongst them... hausa or Yoruba... guess their response? (for whom theyd prefer to deal with)

in Nigerai there is nothing as love...even within tribes...relationship..all people want is what will benefit them...

payless: The problem is that; there is a particular ethnic group that hates everybody in Nigeria. They have refused to move on from what happened decades ago. They like to point fingers at everyone else for their problems. They want to secede and want the Presidency of Nigeria at the same time. There are good people (Chime, Rochas, Ken Nnamani and few other) among them but they won't support them. There is also an ethnic group who believe they are born to rule Nigeria. There is a section of them who think Islam is paramount to Nigerian constitution.

Until these two groups come to their senses, the union is doom forever!

My people have a saying "that when the corpse of a stranger is being carried, it feels as if it is dry woods that is being carried".

The slaughtering of our people in Nigeria has continued without any sign it would stop one day and you are busy ranting about "pointing fingers". Let me get your point, we should sit still and not complain while the annihilation continues?

If we don't want one Nigeria, should we be everywhere across this country?

Show us that we are welcomed, stop treating us like animals to be slaughtered at will.

So you think the present agitation for Biafra was because of the civil war?

No sir! It is only the on going campaign of terror being meted on us that keeps reminding us of our beloved Nation!

If you guys are serious, then call for a National conference right away. Let us negotiate Nigeria.

The problem is in not accepting the obvious when it tends not to paint a particular tribe, it could be mine or yours, in glowing colours. For example during the debate spurred by Wole Soyinka affirming Chinua Achebe's stand that he was not the father of African literature, Igbo people started using abusive words on Soyinka. Even though they were directed to the page in There Was A Country where he said he was a storyteller, they were still adamant.

i was raised to believe that other tribes especially hausa are the enemies,coupled with the fact that i lost my paternal grand fathr during the pogrom my dad always took time to hammer it in my head that i was not to trust hausas and yorubas,so dont blame me if i act tribalistic.
