Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by THEAMAKA(f): 5:09am On Sep 23, 2009 |

Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Nigerd(m): 7:11am On Sep 23, 2009 |
the only thing i enjoy Nairaland for is that u tends to learn from peoples' excess i mean people's mindset and use that to react and see things to come, but at the same time none of our leaders up there neither have interest in these threads that talk more about them nor act in respect of these sensible and senseless contributions from the Landers, @ tribal ranting, pls try and respect other people's ethnic diff and culture, don't take to offense learn, Let peace rain, STOP the ABUSE , Igbo-Yoruba shallom |

Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Nigerd(m): 7:20am On Sep 23, 2009 |

Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by C2H5OH(f): 10:30am On Sep 23, 2009 |
Why do 110% of you airheads love to argue apples and oranges. Senseless twigs. For the record, I'm a self-declared tribalist. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by citizenY(m): 11:21am On Sep 23, 2009 |
@ All, I am beginning to suspect that these biafrans dey do 419, just check the time they are on line, when honest people are asleep. They are all businessmen. Drilling oilin the night. De man wey dey do 419 is complaining about his "resources " going to others. Na wao |

Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by platinumnk(f): 3:08pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
C2H5OH: na wao citizenY: it is YOU THE 419R |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by chiogo(f): 7:49pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
C2H5OH:Thank you oo jare. It's usually the ones who go on and on about not being tribalists that are the biggest offenders. You could just see thru their fakeness from their posts of course, which say the opposite of what they claim. SMH!! @topic, I think I'm gonna go with my ethnicity now. In fact, I don't go with any. . .too many senseless Nigerians including those from my ethnicity. I'll just be loyal to people directly related to me. . .aka the fam. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by ezeagu(m): 7:59pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
chiogo: Be loyal to developing your town. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by chiogo(f): 8:04pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
^^ Umm, right after you develop yours. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by platinumnk(f): 8:20pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
ezeagu: [size=18pt]^^Amen![/size] I wish every one was like you. Great point. But another question. . since when did being loyal to your culture equals being a tribalist? People use that word so often and yet does not know what it means. If Trying to honor and preserve my culture is being wrong then I dont want to be right! The same ppl trying to down others are spazzing out when I ask if they would marry white They say no way . So evrybodys a tribalist lol SMH And another thing what is the point! I want all of you to go home and speak only english, and raise your kids to speak only english and renounce your culture Oh you won't? Why not? Doesnt that make you a tribalist? |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by ChinenyeN(m): 9:00pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
platinumnk:That's basically the definition of tribalism. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by platinumnk(f): 9:24pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
ChinenyeN: Yes, but in this forum it has a negative meaning. Meaning that you put your culture above everyone one elses. So when ppl say oh hes a tribalist, is has a distinct negative touch with it. One question?- Why dont you put your siggy in english? Are u limiting it to just those who can understand you? Or are u embracing the language your forfathers handed down to you? |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by ChinenyeN(m): 11:29pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
platinumnk:Yeah, I realize that. It took me some time to really understand people's use of "tribalism" here. platinumnk:I would put it in English, but it wouldn't be the same to me for two reasons: 1) A literal translation doesn't do the job & 2) I love to speak & write my language. It's part of my identity that I have embraced whole-heartedly. So much so that, when I write/speak my language, translating to English just seems to take away from what I said. I can though give you a general idea of what my signature says. My signature is basically talking about my almost uncanny ability to almost unfailingly find a way to make money. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Nobody: 11:36pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
platinumnk: Ohh please!!! Everyone has a right to their opinions but when you start referring to other ethnicities in derogatory terms, for example Bialegend and his band of merry men, that's when you become a tribalist that seriously need to be dealt with and not because you say you're more loyal to your culture. There's a difference. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by platinumnk(f): 11:48pm On Sep 23, 2009 |
ChinenyeN: I know right ChinenyeN:Beautiful, I hope now ^^ that you understand where I am coming from. stillwater:That is exactly what I am saying. Though they wont come out and say it I feel like like I was being labeled though I make no derogatory remark against other cultures except the "tainting" issue which I explained. |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Nobody: 12:05am On Sep 24, 2009 |
I would like to know from you, do you agree with your elders? |
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by AfroCynic: 12:09am On Sep 24, 2009 |
It took me a long time to post in this thread because I really had to think about it, I love Nigeria, I really do but should push come to shove, I'll be an Eko Islander first, that is just the way it is. |
