*Why you gain nothing from ethnic bias*

by Professor Pat Utomi*

Never get yourself involved in *ethnic hatred or religious bias*.

I'm a Christian from Niger Delta, but most of the things I've ever achieved occurred through the help of non-Christians and non-Niger Deltans.

1. I was actually looking for a way to get a banking license for a wealthy Nigerian so I approached one Fulani prince whom I've never met before. After telling him my mission, he told me that I should register my own bank instead of being another person's agent for registering banks. I was shocked, wondering how an ordinary me will be able to afford the process of owning a bank. The Fulani prince told me that I should not worry, that he will get me a banking license and even arrange for wealthy Nigerians to patronise me as a help for me without demanding for any kobo. That was how Platinum Bank came into being through the help of a northern Nigerian I never knew in my life

2. I was a young graduate during Shagari Adminstration when one man came to my residence in a massive car with escorts and told me that the powerful Yoruba Chief Bayo Kuku wanted to see me in his supermansion in Ikoyi. I got there and the great Chief Bayo Kuku told me that he has always read what I wrote on taxation policies and he had personally discussed me with Nigerian Vice President Alex Ekwueme. He proceeded to ask me how much I will receive if I was told to write a single position paper for Ekwueme on taxation policies. Then, the price of Volkswagen Beetle was N2,000 so I told Chief Bayo Kuku it will cost Ekwueme N2,000. Chief Bayo Kuku burst into laughter and said : "...so, all those your grammar is only worth the price of a Volkswagen Beetle...?"

Chief Bayo Kuku then opened a briefcase, brought out N10,000 cash (brand new Mercedes Benz was then sold for N5,000) and gave me to write just one position paper, even though I've never met him in my life, and he was not even from my tribe

3. Chief Bayo Kuku took me to Vice President Ekwueme, and within one week of knowing Ekwueme, I was shocked one day when Ekwueme told me : "...lest I forget, President Shagari read your position paper and insists on employing to replace the professor that left his administration..."

This was how I became an employee of the Nigerian President Shagari (a Muslim Fulani) without having met him before

4. When I was writing my PhD, I distributed my questionnaire as expected. One day, a man arrived in a big car with escorts and told me that his boss wanted to see me. I followed him and when we got to the boss, I was shocked to the marrow to see that the boss was the highly powerful Alhaji Alhaji. Alhaji Alhaji (a northern Muslim) told me that a fellow northern Emir read my questionnaire for my PhD and recommend that he, Alhaji Alhaji, employ me as his PA on financial matters. I couldn't talk for almost 2 minutes because of the shock. You need to know how powerful Alhaji Alhaji was in those days

Summary

I've been helped by Yorubas and northern Nigerians particularly Fulanis far more than my own Niger Deltans. Don't allow anybody to push you into ethnic hatred and religious bias because you only stand to lose, not gain, from it.

*Professor Pat Utomi, speaking to an audience in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria, yesterday 14th July, 2019*

Utomi has a very low IQ. He has convinced Nigerians that he is intelligent by mimicking the white man. Many of you are too stupid to comprehend what I'm saying at this point and you should opt out of reading the rest of the post and go ahead with your hate respond. Everyone else please continue.
Everything the white man does = intelligence so Utomi, Sanusi, Soludo, and hundreds of others have convinced you that they are 'intellectuals' because they

wear suits
speak english well
speak on the 'issues' of Nigeria
are effeminate compared to the people in the country

All of these things to a Nigerian = intelligence

No creative works
No concepts or philosophy that can be cited to these people (other than 'Nigeria is not working')
No peer reviewed research
No new thoughts or ideas. Just the same dry ignorance in English.

If Utomi was intelligent, he would have pick a different month to make this statement. But he's doing it on the heels of a prominent Yoruba leader's daughter being killed, and the retreat of an attempt to colonize his own people. Imagine someone kills your daughter, and the most intelligent person in the room stands up at the wake keeping and says 'The killer and I do business together'. In a god forsaken zoo the baboons and dogs will stand up and clap, and even want this person to be 'a nigerian leader'.

This man's stupidity has been trying to lead him into 'leadership' in Nigeria for 2 decades and he remains a glorified opinion blogger till this day. Same with Soludo. Sanusi is at least lucky his father was an Emir otherwise he would also be unemployed sharing his opinion.


Africans, please rethink what you call intelligence, education, learning. Many of your 'thinkers' have no original thought that can be cited to them. When they list the philosophers of the world, or even west Africa, you will look very stupid mentioning Pat Utomi.

What's your point?

Well spoken Prof

Watch as the village brought ups rubbish the man.

I agree with you. When Utomi was young the Fulani were laying quiet. Now they are out as terrorist herdsmen, killing, raping, land grabbing.

Utomi should go tell the Jews that Nazis were being friendly to them. And tell the Tutsis that the Hutus were being friendly to them.
