You guys are being proud about this, but people like him leaving does Nigeria no good in the long term.

This is a tragedy for Nigeria. Imagine you had someone like this guy for president instead of Buhari!

How does recognising ones identity— Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc— equate to tribalism?

Do you actually understand the meaning of tribalism?

Should one deny his/her identity to please obviously insecure people?
Go and sit down, I am a proud Nigerian I don't practise tribalism, you are obviously the insecure person here. The post says "a Nigerian" so why not celebrate the man as a Nigerian instead of attaching tribe to it? Do you even know if I am also from the same place with him? I don't blame you anyway this is Nairaland, one of the platforms that promotes ethnic divisions in Nigeria.

A United state governor, Jay Inslee governor of Washington state, has appointed a Nigerian man Edirin Okoloko, as judge as the Snohomish County Superior Court.

“Edirin has a clear dedication to the legal profession and a successful history of bringing justice to some of our state’s most vulnerable crime victims,” Inslee said.

“He will be an excellent addition to the bench in Snohomish County.”

Okoloko will replace Judge George Bowden who is retiring.

Okoloko, who bagged his Bachelor of Law from the University of Benin in Nigeria and received his law degree from the Seattle University School of Law, has worked for the past 13 years in the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, where he is a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney working on homicide, sexual assault, child abuse, and elder abuse cases.

He has also worked in the office’s violent crime, property crime, and District Court units, and he represents the office on the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team which investigates incidents of suspected excessive force by police officers.

Okoloko has successfully prosecuted four murder trials and has been recognised by his office for completing a high volume of jury trials.

Before working as a prosecutor, Okoloko served as a judicial law clerk for former Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes.

Young man,

Tribalism, a localised form of racism is when one places, exalts, etc, a certain tribe, ethnicity or group above the others in a manner this is unjust and illegal.

Identifying that Mr A or Miss B or Mrs B comes from a certain tribe is NOT tribalism. As long as that identification is factual, there is no illegality in it.

He/she can be identified as Yoruba or Nigerian; Igbo or Nigerian; Hausa or Nigeria; these two are both right.

If you do not understand the definitions, get some learning now.

Get some learning and don’t reduce yourself like the “average” Nigerian. Correctly identifying ones identity is not tribalism. It is just identification. Simple English.

No matter our crime rate in any country, our contribution to the greatness of that country is always higher. Remove Nigerians living in a country and you will notice the poor and slow development of that country... Experience is the best teacher.
