blacks have no luv on the general, not only here in nigeria, we live and die in hatred, as for igbos they are too full of themselves,very proud, rude and very ill mannered. so this is just the fact..

They are not blacks they are Africans... Your disgust for the African race is bad..

African-Americans have issues just like everyone but don't generalise.

you are painting everything as if its a yoruba thing, my brother was also denied admision to study law in unizik, his admision was canceled on the screening date, it was the faculty secretary that told him that as an ofemannnnu he doesnt worth the admision, an average igbo man wants evil to befall yoruba land heck your people celebrated the supposed boko haraam attack on lagos

Wow, where did you come up with the that nonsense? I made it a Yoruba thing? Igbos celebrated the boko Haram attack on Lagos? Is this what you are going around telling people? It's people like you who are the problem, how can you come online and type such? I have real life examples of what happened and here u are spreading falsehood all at a weak attempt to paint igbos bad?? You are a curse to this country .. yes It's wrong for anyone to be denied admission or a graduating score based on tribe but for you to say igbos celebrated boko Haram threats to Lagos? It's either you are a wicked evil viper or the igbos you know are useless

Lestat and frenchkiss564....freeze please.

Am a Nigerian

the Emeka In Owerri,
the jang in Jos.

Lets Unite..

Food for thought for we youths. For how long will all this hate continue? I pity the youths of this country cos its so clear we follow blindly. God help us and give us wisdom.

standupguy:
This nonsense can only stop say 80yrs from now if we do away with state of origin and replace it with place of birth

It's a good idea but eventually that place of birth will be tantamount to place of origin and then tantamount to tribe (having adapted to the languages spoken and behaviour of that area ). So this might help in the short run but in the long run things will go back as it was before, I think the long lasting solution is to preach that we do not have divisions even though we were born from different locations. We are all human, our tribe is that of being human and our race is the human race.

This is where standd missed it too, by claming we should be termed Nigerian and not Igbo, yoruba... forgetting that there are those who are not Nigerians too, how should we treat them even though they are not Nigerians? The answer is we are all human beings (forget your location or country or place of birth), there is only one race which is the human race.

standdf ur writeup is very wonderful

I love Ojukwu even though I hate the consequence of Biafra war. What would a man have done about the injustice against his people? The ill treatment of the Igbos was not less than what the Ghanians experienced from Nigerians.

However,the idea of hating on people who you see because of people you didn't see is great evil.

Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo should take note too.

This naked, unashamed truth that is so succinctly dipped in aa sweet, engaging story got me!

And I learnt from it.

What ill treatment of the igbos

If you haven't read Nigeria's history... don't comment what you don't know...


The igbos started the January 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat that led to the killing of the Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello and thousands of northerners..

On 29 July 1966 Northern officers carried out a counter coup in which led to killing of igbos..
Yakubu Gowon, a northerner assumed
command of the military government...

Igbos started the tribal conflicts Nigeria is experiencing today..

My dear, trust me when i say i dislike tribalism and tribalists, i am an advocate for nationalism and not state of origin, but i just get so peeved when i see people trying to stoic their ego by bringing down another tribe, i even chastise Igbos who do it. so maybe i will sheath the sword @ frenchkiss564,, apologises for getting carried away while setting you straight.

i learnt this hatred on nairaland, if you want unity which i doubt is possible social media is also the instrument

Lovely as usual! Ishilove likey

From your narration, it wasn't their ethnicity that provoked the fight but the saucy natures of two women acting like binches. The tribal card got played when the women got into full WWE mode. It just shows that deep down, most people are tribalists, and it surfaces when they're acting like primitive barbarians.

I on my part really cannot hate my neighbour because of his tribe: it takes too much energy which I am not inclined waste.

I regard Sani the aboki, Ochikpe the stingy-ass mofo of an Efik lawyer, Abayo the Yoruba tout and Meche the Igbo drug addict (all my neigbours) under the same microscope: Nigerians first, ethnicity second.

As much as I understand what you're driving at....
Your final statement couldn't have been more wrong - We are first and foremost members of our ethnic group before being Nigerians. Nigeria is an artificial construct, a geographical expression of sort and there is nothing natural about Nigeria. That does not mean we can't make things work but we must first admit the reality, we were cobbled together to suit our colonial masters. And that is why the issue of an all inclusive constitutional conference is something we can't run away from forever - a place where we can all determine the basis for our being together if we want to remain together

yeah... but have u eva heard dz saying what u say u become... I don't know wats so special abt dz lagos that sm of u want to die inside... u ppl just never learn from ur mistakes, history is trying to repeat itself, but this time I think it's for the greater good for sm of u to hv sense, in d past just as d yorubas are talking now, Dats how the northerners were once talking, I even watched dat documentary abt Sarduanas igbo domination saga, d ppl kept building hate in der hearts, then d moment dat incident of 1966 happened that was an excuse for them to vent all d hate that has been building up since, with the amount of hate going on in the west wat is left now to send d finishing blow to u ppl's final demise is for smbodi to hire an Igbo assassin and send him to kill a Yoruba leader, lemme say Tinubu, then recapture the assassin and kill him b4 he says anything then let the world know the assassin is igbo and watch the bloodiest progrom take its place again, but this time the only thing is dat there won't be war but U ppl wud die like chickens. and am gonna mourn ur passing.

Chai!!! I feel so so sorry for you. You need Christ in your life, because right now all I can see is an empty shell wrapped up in hate. What is the difference between you and Book Haram. May God help you. As for mourning us, don't worry, we shall ALL be mourned one day, you included.

This is really sad
How I wish that we can just live as one and unite as a Nation not divided by tribe or religion. How I wish.

that wish can't come to pass if people won't stop their lackadaisical attitude and sheer obstinacy towards BOUNDARY. Those who do not know their position/placement in the society are the ones causing mayhem. The Igbos must recognize the Yoruba Boundary and vice-Versa, while Hausa too should recognise the Igbo Boundary and vice-versa. Same with Youruba-Hausa relation. You can't come into another person's land and think you want to call the shot, the people who gave you land and accommodate you and think what's next is proclaiming them bad thrgh the word of mouth or any other means. Be thankful.(Number 1 step)

Now, differences is not meant to cause disunity or hatred, when you don't recognize it and you don't respect the differences of another tribe, then you're inviting trouble. It is that simple and that's the law of the Earth and how God made it. Do you want Nigeria to be void of these things? First respect Differences.

We have many ethnic groups in Nigeria and you should know they are first Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, iJaw, Nupe, Ibibio etc before becoming Nigerians. That's number one. So, trying to force that psychological identity to become one won't work. You have to leave it and let it grow. One problem is trying to copy the Whites, thinking you can escape these issue by moulding them all together as one. There will be cracks and issues. This is Africa and many things are shaped here due to history and sense of belonging is defined in the sphere of past centuries. Even in Europe, most countries are together as one because they are of the same tribe, two- because they chose to be together as they know that, okay I can go with this dude without any problem. Looks like our behaviours resemble each other. Nigeria is like putting Russians,Americans,French,Germans,Arabians and Koreans in the same country(as a nation) and expecting fruitful results.

NOw, the solution is this, study the lives of the Israelites in ancient times and look at us today. Are they not all ISRAELITES?yes they are. Are we not all NIGERIANS? Yes we are. But don't they have DISTINCT tribes with DIFFERENCES in ISRAEL? Yes they do. Don't we have DISTINCT tribes in NIGERIA? Yes we do. Israelites are called one just as Nigerians are called one. What made up Israel are tribes( and note that this can't be erased or put aside and start shouting One Israel like we do here, thereby neglecting our differences) and among them are Reubenites, Mannaseh, Judah,Benjamites, Issachar, Simeonites,Levites etc.

So also, we have in Nigeria, they are first Benjamites or Reubenites before becoming Israelites. And one of the things they observed is that Mannaseh shouldn't covet what belongs to Levi or Benjamin and vice-versa. The Boundary thing pops up again. Now I found the word: TRESPASSING OF BOUNDARIES. When we keep to this, there will be peace and other things will follow. So, am a Nigerian but I belong to my tribe first before Nigeria and God respect each tribes or else He won't have create one in His Beloved and chosen Nation. But when covetousness starts, tresspassing, lackadaisical attitude to your host here in Nigeria and abroad, then you're inviting trouble.

Standd, please read what happened in the Book of Judges Chapter 20. Very synonymous to what happened in Nigeria's early history and independence(I mean the first coup and all that followed after).

Its better that way...

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves...

Nigeria can't work... With the current level of corruption, ethnic disrespect e.t.c.

I like the word you used GodMode...."Ethnic Disrespect"
