Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest. There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other. Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there. Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London. So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking. China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem. America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism. Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other. And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO! Youths shine your eyes! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor masses.

[/b]"Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor masses."[b] Those corrupt elites include paedophile like SLS. .Bunch of hypocrites.

The elites and the commoners, I can't agree more with you sir. I also know that the problem of Nigeria is caused by the elites and you belongs to the elites, in other word you are part and parcel of our problems.

Ofcourse we know the elites are the problem, but the tribal/religious problem has gone way beyond anything can solve. Masses cannot unite for a common course anymore in nigeria again.
Its pretty much impossible.

We are too divided or poor to fight anything. (The elites have won)

The only solution is to break this shiithole and let everyone answer him papa name.


That's when it would become very tiny little bit easier to fight common enemy which are the elites.


But then, the elites would rather die than let the country break.
Even sanusi is part of the problem.

Parable or not, that is rubbish. There is nothing like elites or masses tribe.

perez100:
Parable or not, that is rubbish. There is nothing like elites or masses tribe.

let me comment cos i know i will dine with you....sls.....cant wait

Useless Afonjas are the problem, period!!

Reason why I hardly support or oppose anyone... Most of our youths are not smart, I am sorry to say.

It pains me when I see young guyz who ought to take the bull by the horn and focus on recapturing their country from these old Phools fighting themselves out.

I am not happy with the affordability of data. It has created more nuisance for the country. Everybody is trying to be a cyber warrior rather than a real comrade

Apt.

I disagree. This is simplistic. It is our show of hatred for other tribes that birth the elite class. If we were not broken tribally, it will be very difficult for the elite class to exist.

Ironically, only few we see it dis way!

da3pu0:
Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and
religion are artificial problems created by selfish
leaders for their own personal interest.

Just because it was created in part by selfish leaders does not mean it is not a problem. It is a problem.

da3pu0:

There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The
Elites and the Masses.

ONLY. I disagree. Too simple. These are the two classes. There are 3 major tribes. And hundreds of minority tribes. Of course you already know this.

da3pu0:

Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you
are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the
tribe of the masses.

This goes without saying. And applies to EVERY single society in the world. So, what's your point?

da3pu0:

If you are an elite, and you
need more power, or elective position, you sow
seeds of tribalism and religion among the
masses, so as to sway their emotion for your
personal victory. This happens at both the
national and state level.

That is not what determines MOST elections in Nigeria. Most elections are between two people of the same tribe. RIGGING (the ability to stuff ballot boxes) is the SINGLE most determinative factor in Nigeria's election.

da3pu0:

Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their
“sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible
masses continue to fight each other.

the masses fight each other because they are frustrated by poor leadership, corruption and a political system that is out of touch.

da3pu0:

Even smart people who belong to the masses,
sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and
religion among the masses, and then the
masses will carry them up until they belong to
the elite class.

So Sanusi is that how you amassed your own power? It has been alleged that while you were still a young man you lead a group of Muslim youths to murder an Igbo man in the North for 'insulting'(whatever that means) the name of your prophet Mohammed. Where you using religion to control and own the Muslim mob and masses? And you have never been questioned by a single law enforcement office/officer for this allegations. Which if true would make you a terrorist murderer.

da3pu0:

It is a classic strategy used
over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A
commoner who aspires to sit with the elites,
could stir up powerful tribal or religious
sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either
by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites,
carries the commoner to the elite class.

Again, irrelevant. The best RIGGERS win Nigerian elections.

da3pu0:

But once there, he immediately mingles and makes
peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on
the same masses that helped him get there.

It doesn't matter HOW they get there. MOST (if NOT the vast majority of) Nigerian politicians turn their backs on the voters.

da3pu0:

Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay,
they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable
names, do terrible things and sometimes, even
lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their
right, not knowing that they are fighting for the
personal welfare of someone, whose own
children are probably safe in America or
London.

A Nigerian placing curses on corrupt politicians is someone I see fighting for their rights. Sanusi, why should the vast majority of Niger-Delta oil wells be controlled by Hausa/Fulanis? Is that not a legitimate concern?

da3pu0:

So youths, don’t hope on the government.

Save your advice. Nigerian youths lost hope in government DECADES ago. When was the last time government did ANYTHING for Nigerian youths. Ordinary electricity, you guys cannot supply and you are here talking about hope.

da3pu0:

If you don’t have a job, create one.

Nigerians do that daily - how do you think we are surviving? What a patronizing a$$hole!

da3pu0:

There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north,
whether Ogoni or Maidugri.

So we don't know this already? Keep telling things we know.

da3pu0:

At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha,
Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.

And in this same places the massive wealth and the massive poverty are situated side by side. Again keep preaching to the choir.

da3pu0:

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and
never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle
hand, or else the devil will find work for you.

Again. Keep preaching to the choir. This is what Nigerians do EVERY single day despite the lack of electricity, small business loan and support from the government; good roads, water supply etc.

da3pu0:

As you become independent, and grow your
capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria.

Most Nigerians have lost hope a long time ago. People are just trying to survive. That's it.

da3pu0:

We are the largest economy in Africa

And what have we to show for this largeness? Ordinary electricity we cannot generate. Keep sucking your own balls oga Sanusi.

da3pu0:

and soon the world will fear us.

Fear ke? Please we don't want to scare the world - we just need electricity and drinkable water. Is that too much to ask?

da3pu0:

Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do
anything to break China, but China is wise to
resist that.

Please focus on domestic issues - electricity supply, water supply, good roads etc. Leave International affairs to China and America. Who u epp?

da3pu0:

China has 1.6 billion people, we have
only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.

If breaking will lead to good roads, electricity supply, water supply etc. PLEASE let us break into a million pieces. What is the point in having a large population if the masses are suffering because of government corruption, ineptitude and lack of touch oga Sanusi?

da3pu0:

China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism,
Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity.
Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity
and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our
problem.

But you started by saying religion (albeit used by the elites) is one of our problems. So why are you contradicting yourself again. Also, oga Sanusi - is Boko Haram not a product of religion (albeit a fundamental strain)?

da3pu0:

America, the strongest economy is comprised of
every tribe in the world, since they accept
anybody from any part of the world. Yet they
are united and extremely patriotic.

Take away their good roads, electricity/water/internet supply and see how patriotic Americans will be.I lived in US for 10 years and ONLY experience electricity interruption 2 or 3 times in 10 years. Now, tell me why I will not be patriotic to America even though I am a Nigerian? STOP yarning dust Mr. Man. Patriotism is a contract between the leaders and the led. The problem is Nigerian leaders have not held up their own side of the contract. And yet you people still expect the average Nigerian to be patriotic. Sango fall on you sir.

da3pu0:

Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.
Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize
that empowering yourself is the best course of
action, not fighting each other.

Once again, Nigerians are empowering themselves daily IF NOT people will be dropping down dead in the millions on a daily basis. The problem is not the masses but you and your fellow elites who are incapable of producing electricity and building good motorable roads.

da3pu0:

And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take
back their future from the hands of the old and
corrupt generation that has been blinding
Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her
resources.

Oga Sanusi are you not one of them? What is your worth? And how did you earn it legitimately? Let the revolution start with you Oga Sanusi, don't wait for the Youths. Most of them will hustle till they die. They won't have time to go after your evil, wicked and corrupt friends.

da3pu0:

Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed
away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the
north? Those that stole billions under GEJ
stashed it away in foreign banks, bought
expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they
using it to develop the south?

Very good point - I will give you this one. But where were you when Babangida/Abacha/Abdulsalami were looting? Why did you not protest then?

da3pu0:

Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”,
are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned
houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using
it for the youths in their tribe? NO!

Nothing new sir.

da3pu0:

Youths shine your eyes! Don’t always fall for
this tribal, religious sentiments over and over
again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt
elites. They are the problem, not the poor
masses.

The youths have ALREADY shined their eyes. Its time for you and your elite friends to SHINE your own eyes. Electricity you can't provide. Good roads nko? NOTHING. Adequate water supply? Zilch. STOP preaching to the youths. Go and preach to your friends who are the root cause of the problems this country is facing.
