Tribalism and nationalism is an attempt to simplify complex issues inuo manageable proportions that the brain can easily understand. It actually makes people stupid and is todays most dangerous internet disease.

However many of the people espousing tribal sentiments here also have good friends from the tribes they castigate. Mobile tech allows and supports personality fragmentation of the type we often see here.

The real problem is that oversimplification leaves many parts of the brain dark, neurons dont fire and gradually mental muscle is lost. It is a slow but devastating disease and it takes tremendous will power to escape it. Believe it or not, it is also the governments best friend. Ventilation of opinion reduces the emotional pressure to advocate for change.

Nepotism and a civil war robbed the first generation of their fortune, SAP robbed the second generation and now social media is robbing their children.

At least if you want to be an unfortunate being, try and be one that is not an illiterate. The book about this story in particular clearly stated that they were from the east, plus in terms of armed robbery and prostitution i don't think anyone can drag that with the east too.. it should be noted I'm not being tribalistic, but only comparing facts with the assumption you brought on the table, Nitwit .

Three pages, no knowledge passed, no cover story on the picture, no additional info from users...

Nigeria has become progressively illiterate in recent years.

sacrifies is another sad possibility

But back then most of sacrifices were scam as they were sent away into slavery from the backdoor and the priest will den claim d gods av accepted the sacrifice.
