Fix ur life abeg, the man in the middle is not the cause of ur frustrations.

If u pass through a tenth of what his great Igbo tribe passed through from 1967-'70 during the Biafran civil war & still pass through today: I doubt if u will come close to where he is today that attracts ur envy.

Hate him all u what, but u can't break the Igbo spirit. We are natural born survivors. God helped us to rise from the ashes & we'll keep rising no matter what.

I mean no disrespect to u or ur tribe but I thank God for His blessings on us.
Igbo amaka & I'm proud of my tribe.

They are doing it steady.


Ngige, Tinubu, Gandje. In APC


FFK, Deizani Alison Madueke, Namadi Sambo PDP.

We the masses are the Gullible ones.

It will shock you that many political igbos will benefit BAT government more than your father.

If you like don't have sense and know that we the masses are in one party, regardless of who the president is.

You are right.
Some ppl will vote for a goat (as in 'ewu', 'obuko') to rule over them so long as it was born in their region/can speak their language than even consider a donald Trump.

God bless President Tinubu.
God bless Nigeria!

Yes. There are igbos who have some yorubas and Hausas as trusted friends. So there are Hausas and Yorubas that have the other tribes as trusted friends. Those who project tribalism are those who have never really mixed up outside their own circle hence project their own limitations.
Exactly bro

That picture is very very deep.
Not many people will understand it.

Succinctly put, the picture captures the hitherto Nigerian contraption before the 60's when the country was united and each tribe being his brothers keeper and when there was National unity and cohesion.

Now, Ngeria is so badly polarized on ethnic, religious and political divides and too fragile and almost impossible to even think of the situation where a Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani and an Igbo person will sit and eat together.
Today's generation have become too too toxic with hate and bitterness that has largely been fuelled by an insensitive and ethnically bias leader and selfish politicians. Whatever iota that was left of anything called unity in Nigeria have been completely eroded by the Buhari govt. It will take a daunting task by only a true National Patriot to mend fences and bring back unity in Nigeria.

However, the depth of of the picture goes far beyond that.
The the intrinsic value of 4th man in the picture is not to be overlooked.
Who is the 4th man in the picture??

Incidentally (and erroneously too), most Nigerians have come to think that Nigeria's structure is standing on a tripod made up of Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani and the Igbos (the 3 perceived dominant tribes). Erroneously, Nigeria is often defined along the 3 major ethnic tribes forgetting that there over 400 other tribes within Nigeria.
It is also seemingly like other ethnic tribes are either overlooked or at best have to play 2nd fiddle to the dominant tribes.

In the deep sense, the picture portrays the 4th man as other minor ethnic tribes that are forced to helplessly stand and watch the 3 dominant tribes always share the spoils amongst themselves and believe that they are the only tribes deserving to eat the National cake while other tribes must be sidelined. Hence, power and national cake sharing must always rotate between these 3 dominant tribes.
That is even a sadder reality of the contraption called Nigeria.
wonderful analysis

Just like how people of color usually complain about racism, same way tribalism affects poor people, have to you ever been in circle of rich people from different tribes trust me tribalism has no way there.
