A Message To The South by lexyking(m): 7:39am On May 03, 2020
Socrates, was by far one the most important philosophers. however, he wrote no works of his own;therefore we come to know about Socrates 'life and teachings through his student and friend Plato.

towards the end of Socrates life, we come to know the phrase that "an unexamined life is not worth living". Socrates believed that the purpose of life was to grow spiritually and philosophically; he argued that it was important to question and "examine" your values and beliefs in order to determine if they were the correct ones.

Nigeria, from inception has always had one problem. how to balance power between the more educated and sophisticated south, and the more religious and feudalistic north. the north with his population and political maneuvers has ruled the country more than the south whose resources both natural and human is what makes Nigeria rich. therein lies our problem.

while the south's three regions with all there resources and educated population are busy fighting each other for a matter we can't even remember, the north is busy exploiting our egos and foolishness to divide and conquer us.

I think it's time that the south examines its Values and beliefs so as to determine if it's the correct one. for how long shall we continue in this useless fight for supremacy, how long shall we continue in our dick measuring contest while the north keeps dragging us backwards. let us unite for once, let our shared educational knowledge be a uniting factor, let us enjoy the bliss of our cultural diversity instead of letting it to divide us.

please note that I'm not in any way blaming the north alone for the problems facing Nigeria. my point is that the south has not really risen up to face the challenge, we have never ever took a stand for Nigeria all what we've always done is compet amongst ourselves for the North's favors.

I hope to see a day when the south will see themselves as one irrespective of where in the south you hail from, let us leave stop judging ourselves based on the actions of our past leaders. I mean why should we judge and relate with ourselves based on what Awolowo and Azikiwe did or did not do to themselves 50 years ago. let us learn to always stand to support what's good and criticize what's not.

Ibo Man: Its the Ibos turn to rule, we must get our 8 years (Said in the strongest ibo accent you can think of)

Hausa Man: No, No, No, No, we are the majority in this country and it is Hausa's turn we need 12 years in power (Said in a heavy Hausa accent)

Yoruba Man: Actually Hausa Man you have ruled Nigeria for 43 years out of the 60 years of independence so it is now time for the Yoruba's to rule for at least 16 year (Said in a heavy Yoruba accent)


In 2020, this is the kind of tribalistic nonsense we are still talking about meanwhile other Nations are sending people to the moon and contributing to technology, science and medicine. Since 1960, 60 years ago we have been playing these mindless tribalistic games which has taken Nigeria backwards economically. In fact 1960 was much more developed than today 2020.

There are more than 500 other tribes in this Limited PLC called Nigeria and a suitable leader must be the best man for the job regardless of gender, tribe, religion or creed. We must also remember that these so called IBOS/HAUSAS/YORUBAS sold out Nigeria to the highest bidder while pretending to "liberate" Nigeria from the British in 1960. Shame on you and these so called major 3 tribes, there should be a special shelf in the hottest part of hell for all of them.

All these plenty grammar will not change anything until the yoruba who are the missing link and stumbling block in the unity of south support an Eastern presidency and stop being too hatefully emotional.

The majority south aka SESS voting bloc (which yorubas always seek to divide and destroy) are ready for an Eastern presidency, are yoruba ready for equity and justice or will they continue to taunt and mock the thick-skinned East in the hope of getting a yoruba presidency?

The future will tell. grin

Exactly, yoruba must be reminded of their current status in the present political equation whenever they beat their chest and make their monkey noise. They are not capable of making themselves president.

Even in Igboland, when an idol proves too stubborn, you show it metal or the wood it was carved from.
