How Did We Get Here? E-tribal War by Olusharp(m): 7:15pm On Jul 07, 2017
Nigeria as a country has been going through a lot of challenges at the moment, which no one is proud of.
Is it the trouble from Boko Haram in the North? or the Militancy in the East? or the kidnapping and “Badooing” (if there is any word like that in existence.) In the West? No where in Nigeria can be described to be perfectly save.
Despite these challenges, the Nigerian online community seems to be building up another kind of war, which is hatred for another ethnic group. It has gotten to stage that political post online can’t be viewed without sentiments rather than with a lucid mind and this has led to people giving different solutions which usually turn to online bashing.
Imagine a post on the Notorious Kidnapper Evans, some tribe moved for the motion that he be killed immediately, others were of the opinion of since he didn’t kill anyone he should be released.
Another issue is this bickering can be found on known websites and forums like Facebook, Nairaland etc. The funny aspect is that these E-fighters have given each tribe a name, Yoruba are called Brown roof or Afoja, Igbo are called Flat heads or IPOB while the Hausa/Fulani seems to be the odd one in these E-clashes as it is usually rare to find the Hausas having an ethnic clash online.
This is a call on everyone especially sites owners, bloggers, site adminstrators to look at a way to stop this online division and hatred. We are still trying to bring “a dividing Nigeria” together offline please don’t add online division to it.

Although a bit exaggerated, what you see/read on NL is what is in the mind of the people out there .

The actual truth is dat there is no love in the country. And the fault is from people who allowed politicians poison their mind all because of wanting to get into power. if u observe, the origin of this hatred was from military coups and similar events. Then this tribe felt power was unsurped from them etc, meanwhile the politicians up there the people are fighting for don't care immediately they assume power.
It's only an Ibo man who hasn't gone to the north that won't have an Hausa friend, only a Yoruba man who hasn't been to the east won't have an Igbo friend and so on.
For the tribal war here on NL I blame it solely on Yoruba's and Igbos. We claim to be the most enlightened wen we behave like uncultured human beings.
