You mean a deep seaport in Lagos is not progress?

Release your brain from permanent reverse.

HAKYN1:



Osus are born hateful cowards, they celebrate anything they think brings Yoruba down, they run the Government of Nigeria with the north for several years and they are here crying again. Who God has blessed no man can curse. Yoruba land is ahead of Osuland naturally. International waters, e dey, International boundary e dey, arable agricultural land, e dey, crude oil e dey. Every omoluabi should be grateful to God, despite the ever increasing Osu hatred, we are still waxing stronger.

If you think a local port in One or any region is about to dethrone Lagos or take away any shipping business, you are sadly mistaken.

Bukky244:
Everyone from SE/SS must support this and make it work. Anyone who wants the progress of that region must not attack their vessels on the high seas. They have always complained of security issues around that side. Its time to encourage them by showing that the region is safe to do business. Asari should speak to his people.

They will never heed. Children of anarchy won't hear until they perish. Their madness has chased almost all companies away due to insecurity. Just this 2020 Jan, two white men were kidnapped in Bayelsa.

TerraMessorem:

Dethrone?, i thought maersk said decongest, even the NfPpresident said establish multiple ports, tribalists and selfishists are why we even have time to make this topic a news, maersk will be laughing at us, its shameful,

Marine54:
you don't want other regions to progress, you want everything to remain in lagos , even when there is three functional sea ports in the east. That's why you're an enemy progress!

NGpatriot:


There's nothing wrong with having 1 million seaports in Nigeria, even if you prefer one in your local LG, who cares, just letting you know that there's a better and more capable seaport under construction in Lagos to decongest Apapa port and so Lagos shall remain the main port of call in Nigeria, that is not tribalism, that's a reality.

You are the tribalist.

Cherez:

So, why do most Yorubas also stay away from the SW?

Amotekun777:


You sure say you don take ur meds?

Cherez:

Since when did meds became the wrong thing.
I guess you're part of those primitive people who would keeps kids away from vaccination.
Oga, I guess you've not traveled abroad and within Nigeria.
The Yoruba community in UK alone can form a nation

Amotekun777:


You wey don travel nko? How e take help you? Meds isn't necessarily a bad thing which was exactly why I asked if you've taken it. It's very imperative you administer your meds to be fully functional cuz it doesn't seem you are.

NGpatriot:


Love your neighbor and be happy for Lagos too.

Sorry to slightly derail this thread.




Which group, between the elites and the masses are more tribalistic?

Cherez:

Being rich or poor neither does being better educated nor elite doesn't make you more or less a tribalistic person.
Till date rasicm is still a disease in Europe.

Hmn, I understand you sir but if you look at the Nigerian situation, it appears tribalism is a largely a game played by the elites, especially the political elites when they lose out in the power contest or when they want to win the power contest.



Most Nigerians are poor and they go about looking for what to eat and being too tribalistic can make this difficult.

For instance,Mr Kolawole the Estate Agent doesn't mind giving his houses to Ebira, Jukun or Edo tenants in as much as they can pay the rent plus his commision.

Emeka who is selling electronics at Oshodi will do anything to sell his products to Audu, Augie, Ibrahim, Akin, Edet ,Suliat, Adnan, Comfort, Nkechi, Segun, Obadje or Iyamu.

An average Okada rider is not bothered about the tribes of his passengers, all these women Hawking 'agbo' don't discriminate on who to sell to or who to play with. Most Pentecostal churches are peopled by Nigerians from diversed ethnic backgrounds.

The problems facing Mechanics, bricklayers, cart pushers, brothel prostitutes, Maiguards, Okada riders, food vendors and other masses in Sokoto, Kafanchan, Ilorin, Ijebu-Ode, Benin City, Aba, Obudu, Nsukka, Mubi or Gashua are the same.

Cherez:

You're right but that in itself doesnt define it well.
The politicians play the tribal card when it is to their favor and claims unity only when tribalism wont favor him/her, same thing the masses do.
An Okada, just wants his money so he can carry anyone but ask same Okada man to give out his daughter to marry another tribe or vote for someone not his tribe against someone of his own tribe

oyatz:
Excuse me sir,

Do you know how many daughters of Okada riders that have been impregnated and moved-in (their daughters hardly do proper wedding) into the homes of men from other tribes?

As per the voting, the politicians (elities) have been singing in the ears of the masses that only they from their tribes can do well for them.

Cherez:

If a politician can sway my vote with tribal sentiments then I was never liberal.
Bro, you assume this and hardly can site real life situations of the pregnancy by Okada people pikin; most Nigerians are gravely tribalistic.
Just go through this page and you can imagine that hardly do people make statements based on reasoning but premised on tribalism.
I will not lie, the virus caught me sometimes but I know I love everyone and I have employed more people from other tribes into my company just to build trust and love.
I have never voted on tribal sentiments though my vote for GEJ in 2011 was on sentiment as I felt the North was not being fair to him but it wasn't tribalistic as he was not from my tribe.
I voted PMB in 2015 but stayed away from voting in 2019.
And if APC presents PYO, I will vote for him, if not I dey my house.

oyatz:
We are saying almost the same thing.

1) Most of the masses aren't wise like the political elites. As a matter of fact, if the Nigerian masses are as wise as the political elites, many things will not happen in Nigeria.

2) Most of the people on Nairaland are educated and are young elites on their own.

Road side Mechanics, Vulcanizers, Brothel based prostitutes, Mai Suya, Motor park touts, most primary school teachers, most tailors, Commercial drivers, Fulaniherdsmen, abbatours workers, Mama put operators, Agbo sellers, Okrika traders,most petrol attendants, ALL the Almajiris and indeed majority of the masses aren't on Nairaland or any social media.


These group of people are in the majority in this country and unfortunately, Nigeria doesn't mean anything to them.

They form their opinions about Nigeria and other tribes largely based on what the educated elites pass onto them.

Because they are the majority and are poor, they interract with each regularly irrespective of tribal differences if it will ensure their survival and happiness.

For instance if Adamu the Almajiri in Bauchi transform to become a successful Mai Suya in Yenegoa with enough cash, he can rent a stall with his Ijaw hosts and if he is streetwise, he can impregnate Ada, the daughter of Mrs Okoro who is selling peppersoup beside his Suya joint.

Good development!
