Why Do Nigerians Have A Primitive Tribal Mindset? by Nobody: 5:58pm On Jun 22, 2019
I see myself as a Nigerian first and Yoruba second. Who Tribalism EP-it is a tool used by the fantastically corrupt politicians in APC,PDP and APGA who have turned the country to one of the biggest shitholes in the world to keep the masses divided. How as a Yoruba man did Obasanjo 8 year presidency benefit me or any other Yoruba man? Did we get a share of the $16 billion dollars he spent on electricity to give us darkness, do we have a world class Federal hospital in any state in the south west or did he deliver a dual carriage 8 lane highway. Does Tinubu deliver bullion vans of cash to my house?

There are only two classes in Nigeria: The Elite and the Masses.

The Elite-consist of the fantastically corrupt politicians in PDP,APC and APGA. And also the former military generals who have collectively looted $380 billion dollars since 1960 and make up less than 0.01% of the population.
-Cornered and shared the countries oil blocks to their immediate family members,girlfriends and cronies to become billionaires in dollars
-They made themselves the highest paid legislators in the world
-Use bullion vans to deliver their loot to their house
-They move with armed security and drive the rest of the citizens off the road
-Germany and UK is their favorite destination for medical checkups
-They acquired property in Garki,Maitaima,Ikoyi,VGC and Banana Island with their loot
-Their choice of movement is by private jet and armoured cars bought with stolen funds
-They engage in vote buying during elections
-They sponsor thugs to intimidate and harass civilians
-Gave themselves the highest pension benefit in the world
-Send their children to best private school and universities in the world with their loot
-Live in estates with 24 hour electricity or run generators 24/7

The Masses

-They are tribalistic and blame all the nation woes on the 'ipod youth',Niger Delta militants etc
-Victims of insecurity in the land-such as kidnapping,armed robbery and ritual killings
-No access to portable water and have to pay for their own boreholes
-No access to adequate medical treatment to treat their ailments
-Are victims of election violence
-Salaries and pensions are embezzled by fantastically corrupt politicians
- Face incessant power cuts

Too much tribalism in one of the world's biggest shitholes where the only thing that works is corruption and ethnic division.

Tribalism has come to stay

How can sane human beings from a particular region line up and say they are voting for an illiterate grandpa who truncated democracy before I was even born...

They brought him back to continue with his nepotism and archaic way of thinking... In a jet age

Today we are the poverty capital of the world

Today we are the unemployment capital of the world

We are the suicide capital of the world.. Banning of sniper cannot remedy the situation...

Insecurity is the order of the day as Fulani herdsmen.. Bandits.. Kidnappers etc run riot without any python dancing on their heads..

Nigerians are endangered species abroad even in countries like Ghana ... Benin Republic... Togo etc... Who would have ever thought

We deserve the kinda leaders and country we have...

All because of tribalism and religious sentiments....

Ironically... The politicians from different tribes and religions come together to share the nation's treasury while the masses strangle each other

I understand your sentiments, but the people that made this happen are victims of tribal brainwashing. At the end of the day in each election cycle the only beneficiaries are the fantastically corrupt politicians in APC,PDP and APGA while the masses are left to suffer and smile.

I try not to tow the tribal line myself but come to think of it, a smart mind is a conscious mind..

Why will a particular group want to take all that is meant to be shared amongst major tribes.
If you follow history of Nigeria, you'll see where the problem that is plaguing us till today started.
To make matters worse, some will leave their region undeveloped to claim right and 'no man's land' in another region.

Tribalism is just a word to keep people silent to what is wrong.

We are all Nigerians- no land is the exclusive right of any tribe. Do you hear Americans or the British say certain regions are the exclusive right of blacks,whites or asian? You are one of the primitive people I am talking about.
There is freedom of movement in the country and any tribe can settle anywhere. We are Nigerians first and our tribe is inconsequential.

When you want to tell lies to suit your narrative, you become Nigerian.. when others ask for same right in the East, you start crying that you want Biafra.

That is part of the primitive mindset stifling the nations development and which the fantastically corrupt Nigerian politicians use to exploit the uneducated masses. We don't see ourselves as Nigerians but identify through our tribes.
When it is time to loot the politicians forgot about tribalism and party affiliation and are united. Why can't the average Nigerian have that same mindset?

When you cross the borders into another country you carry a Nigerian passport and when foreigners ask you where you are from-you tell them Nigeria. Tribalism is the reason the masses can never be united against the corrupt politicians that have turned the country to a shithole

indigenous?... Lol. Not like u had the opportunity to choose your ethnic group. Your ethinic group was an accident, same as your nationality - a strong reason why saying bad stuff about other tribes (in favour of yours) is unwise. Not like your tribe is visble at the skeletal level.

Every tribe is collectively responsible for where we are at today. Nigeria is a disgrace to the black race and has proven racists right that the black man can never run a functional society.
