JJYOU:

true but they are not always good and natural bed fellows. now let nobody run here and tell me they are all igbos

you're going off topic

@Dede, only your post has really made sense here and well presented in an articulate manner.

I detest it when non-igbos say igbos are tribalist because most of them tend to marry Igbos. Marriage is by preference and in most cases gat nothing to do with tribalism and Yorubas are more tribalist than igbos.

Hotstepper:

Yorubas are more tribalist than igbos.

Are these Igbo women getting married to themselves? Ode.

nobody is talking about igbo women marrying themeselves, if you have a point say it

tribalism again?

tpia:

afam4ever, what's your problem with Deltans? Yes, they are very detribalized when compared to other Nigerians. This attitude isnt limited to the Delta Ibos but is found in other groups as well. So why are you trying to single out one group at the expense of all the others?

Deltans and other groups are on their ancestral lands. Same as the other tribes in Nigeria. Every tribe in Africa has to coexist with other tribes in their respective geographical locations. That's how it is and the sooner people accept this reality the better.

So, if you're saying delta-ibos are detribalised, then it means other Ibos are too, cos delta-ibos don't have a distinct behaviour from other ibos. U get my point?

.

tpia:

No, thats not what I'm saying.

Do you consider yourself detribalized?  Check your posts on Nairaland.

I said Deltans and I meant Deltans. I didnt emphasize any one group.

How did Babangida creating a state change the way they(deltans) behave.

For example, just imagine the government decides to carve out onitsha and it to delta state, will you still say that deltans are detribalised? bearing in mind that a new town have been added to the state.

You're kinda slow  

You made a lame point that igbos "cant" be "tribalistic" cos they intermarry then you said yorubas are the most tribalistic. Seeing that Yoruba-Igbo marriages have been on the raise for years now, how does your dumb comment make any sense?

Tpia for Godsake accept you are wrong.There is no tribe and ethnic group called Delta.Even within Delta why are Urohbos angry that the capital is asaba?Why are Anioma people intent on creating there own state If the people of the state are so detribalized?

Guys! why don't you drop this arguement?

the central people are the most detribalised

.

afam4eva:

So the germans, spanish, french, russians don't go to school abi?

This is simply because they're not that exposed to 'normal' (educated and middle-class) black people
This is the exposure bit of it.

If all the black people you've seen in your life are farmers, you tend to form the stereotype that no black man can thrive at any other thing.
AND NO!!! The french are not racist.

afam4eva:

Did they just start getiing educated?

Are you trying to take the piss??
Have you not heard of the Civil Rights Movement??
Aight let me school you, since the 1960s, various groups have been championing a cause for the end to racism
This opposed the hegemonic belief that black people were intellectually inferior to the white people
This, coupled with various scientific researches since the 70s has created a value concensus that makes people see the need to be politically correct.

So no, education didn't start yesterday, the value concensus is what just started.

Idomas! Final.

@ Tpia, you're just ekwekwe, just accept that you're wrong, and stop cursing.

tpia:


Anyone who doesnt know which tribes make up Delta, should go look up Delta state on wikipedia or google, which are both FREE services available to anybody on the internet. Rather than yarn dust on Nairaland, some people will do well to utilize google instead.

Trust Naijas- as soon as you finish educating one set of nitwits, another batch shows up as if reporting for youth service.

jealousy no go kill una. Bad belle people.

There's nothing there to look up, only common sense will tell you that Delta is multi-ethnic

tpia:


you're an anuofia for saying that.

I'll take that as a compliment, cos i now you don't know the meaning of ekwekwe

.

tpia:

you're the one who's making yourself look ridiculous all over Nairaland, not me.

Better wise up, sucker.

anu mpam.

yall need to sharrap, the people of Delta are detribalized, liberal and live in interrupted harmony compared to you savages.

the central people are the most detribalised

This thread is like arguing whether having a stroke is better than having cancer.

I know you from where exactly?

Arent you supposed to be busy opening tribal threads?

i wasn't talking to you

bawomolo:

i wasn't talking to you

thats your problem.

You dont have to insult the people from any state just becuase they're less tribalistic than you. Neither do you have to single them out for ridicule simply because not everyone feels the same way you do about your narrow minded worldview.


If your own people arent detribalized, then thats your personal problem, not other peoples own.

Last time I checked, you were screaming yourself hoarse because some Jamaican girl was being "disrespected" when you wanted to toast her. Nobody disturbed themselves over it, yet here you are talking trash because others are considered liberal and detribalized.

Some Naijas and their overblown egos!!!!!!! They must always fight anytime someone mentions tribe!!!!!!



What a barbaric mindset!!!!!

oh ok
