Tribalism thrives in Nigeria because there is no viable working document and model for all the tribes to coexist equally and in peace.

Being from a minority group in the SouthSouth automatically narrows my opportunities on the national level. This ought not be the case as minority groups are the reason behind affirmative action in the US which is similar to our quota system. But rather than guarantee equal representation the quota system replicates the censors figures thereby making minority people marginalized at the centre.

Take for examples he cut off marks for common entrance students into unity schools for students from Bayelsa (the least populated state) and compare it with that of Kano ( the most populated according to census figures). A child from Bayelsa is expected to score at least double what a child from Kano will and to make matters worse Bayelsa will have the least slots reserved for them when compared to Kano with the highest.

The quota system does not help minority people but rather further alienates them and gives more opportunity to dominant tribes in the north.

We can also see how even where the north and southwest and southeast may share the same number of slots, the northern candidates will still be offered opportunities on a platter of gold based on educational disadvantage.
So a student in Yobe can gain admission to a unity school by scoring just 15 out of 400 but a child from Anambra will need to meet at least 320 to get a slot.

All these useless policies have created tribal sentiments and not the other way round.

So how come your kinsman from the south south ebele, who was president of the nation for 6 years but was still not able 2 better the lot of your region, state and your people? Why was he not able 2 ensure projects that would have situated industries, employment opportunities or massively driven the incorporation of your teeming youths into the federal civil service @ least to start giving some leverage 2 your zone? Was that also as a result of tribalism or was it a case of reverse tribalism and nepotism? Or simply just a case of mind numbing _stupidity mixed with greed? Elucidate please!

Because Ebele created a level field for productivity.

Your regions could not capitalize on his policies of entrepreneurship because you northerners and Yorubas are used to handouts.

I'm not suprised you could not answer my question! It is always difficult for laymen and laywomen 2 dissect fact from fiction! Anyway you have also exposed your bigotry by assuming I am a northerner or yoruba by your reply but unfortunately I am none of the above! So let's not derail back 2 your topic,What sort of productivity are you referring to? Militancy? Smuggling of crude? Cultism? Why are more of your people not running paramount instiutions,or playing a bigger part in the oil industries, trade industries, or government parastatals even after your bros j had the ample opportunity 2 boost all of your regions cravings for 6 whole years? Who stopped him from being decisive! What was his achievement for your region? As well as others!

[size=13pt]Nigeria will reap what it sows, whether you deny it or not is immaterial.
If Nigeria makes effort to sow good, we shall all enjoy a great country.If we sow wickedness thinking we are hurting our neighbor, we are only setting up a sad life for this country.[/size]
