How Tribal Segregation Is Weakling Christianity In Nigeria by HISSCRIBE1995: 12:38am On Feb 28, 2021
The Islamic North has an agenda - conquer the nation, extinct the tribes , dominate the territory, rule forever.

The Christian South is divided along ethnic lines, no concrete fraternity, no collectivity.

Because the yoruba christian thinks he is yoruba, and shouldn't have anything to do with the igbos.
the igbos would say "I am an igbo MANU , a BIAFRAN, and then refuse to relate with his christian brothers from other ethnic groups.
the South- South christian would say" I am from South- South,from a peculiar tribe, and not igbo.
PLEASE ! PLEASE ! don't count me as igbo, I am of a different Creed, our cultures are different, so he also stays away.

HO ISREAL TO THINE TENT!.

The Christian in the middle - belt would rather go with the northerners because he believes those (Christians) of the South have nothing to do with HIM.
they don't remember nor defend us during persecution or when the wave of the Islamic ethnic cleansing jihad blows across the Christian States in the north.
States like, taraba, platue, kaduna, benue,( sub) gombe, adamawa, borno, bauchi.
These southern Christians would rather insult the northern Christians and call them hausa-slaves .

The biafran christian would rejoice when blood thirsty men drove to benue to drink blood from the veins of his innocent and helpless christian brother , because of he claims that they (the people of benue) never supported them during the biafran struggle, but allow them to suffer in the hands of their enemies while they watch them die .
Even though these benue man, woman and children are Christians .

HE WANTS REVENGE.

THE EAST would label the South "AFONJA THE SKULL HARVESTER " , and the WEST would label and SOUTH "MILITANTS , THUGS, and the likes, the SOUTH thinks the EAST are GOLD DIGGERS who want to eat from where they didn't sow by including their TERRITORY in the BIAFRAN MAP . (or something else )


There is NO BROTHERHOOD , NO LOVE, NO BOND or AFFECTION but , ANGER , STRIVES , HATRED , and DISUNITY .

The north (East, West, sub - central) are very United, and are well determine to dominate the South and rule forever.

You are shouting BUHARI !, BUHARI !! when you are part of the problem, you hate your own christian brother, and you are shouting "islamisation!"

hating on the north, but there is no love in the south.
The scripture says - 1 Thessalonians 4:9
[9]But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

A northerner from the north-west would claim to be hausa, another from the same North-east would claim to be hausa, another from North - central would claim to be the same hausa.

But it is not so in the south.
You can't come from South East and claim to be yoruba, you can't come from South- South and say you are yoruba, even when you say you are from Southwest they still ask you "are you yoruba? " the same with the igbo, calabar , ijaw, itseriki, bendel or any other so called ethnic groups from the south can't claim to come from any part of the South that there are not peculiar with.

But the fulani can claim to be from the west East or central part of the North without any controversy.

This is because their mindset is to conquer, dominate, and rule.

If you don't do something now, one day you will wake up to hear that a fulani man is claiming to have come from the south east, or south west or south South, and he is contesting for the governorship post.

I don't hate fulani or any tribe, for there are created in God's image.
I love everybody irregardless of their tribe or religion, but truth be told,
" we must not look on and allow some people to destroy us in the name of ethnic supremacy or religious duty (jihad) .


A wise man once said "the world is not an evil place because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

We must see every christian from every nation, state, tribe, ethnicity, or region as a brother, and not as what they are designated to be called.


Any christian from the South, East, North, or West is your brother or sister and not a segregationists.

THE WORD OF OUR FATHER.

Philippians 2:14-15
[14]Do all things without complaining and disputing,
[15]that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Peace.
To be continued.

The hausas have being exercise Dominion over the land that weren't there up north, you didn't hear anything.

The fulanis are masters and Lords over the hausas, they never bothered

All we are calling for is unity between the South South and South East and not domination or lordship of one over the the other.

If the gruesome persecution, and marginalization of the East would stop, then the South has to give them the Hand of fellowship.

The South would without doubt face the same faith as the east in future if you refuse.

OP you have stated the truth and it pains me greatly to see such divison existing in the camp of bible-believing christians. Some of our Christian brothers cherish their ethnic values and location over their religious identity. And it is through this that Muslims in Nigeria have taken full advantage of.

And what singular tribe in the entire South South has ever been against any Ndigbo interest. Name it.


Until Ndigbo understands mutual respect, we will never see it as an entity worthy of such. Like you all think People of the SS are kids and don't understand the forceful igbo-name tagging of its enclaves, people and towns. All igbo wants it is partnership yen yen yen, and you tagged fulani and hausas as masters yet no one complains meaning igbos should be Lord over the south South. Tell me and others here the single thing that Ndigbo has to master, rule and control the south South that the south South doesn't have within itself. Tell us.

But will our Christian brothers take it serious? Brother, muslims are hell-bent on dominating everywhere ; and they are very cooperative. And that is what I like about them; they know how link each other once they hear "Assalamu alaikum ". In fact once they hear those words (especially here up in the north) they will help each other into positions that will push their agenda.


But our Christian brethren are always busy marginalizing each other.


I can remember during my undergraduate days that muslims in my department where always topping the class: they would band together, eat together and form tutorial groups, and even go as far as assisting each other in the exam hall. But the christians would alway form "holy and righteous " and stay on their own without sharing their knowledge . Some would even go as far as hiding past questions from each other. All in the name of not letting the next man get a higher score and in the end, the Muslims will still outscore everyone other Christian.


It is not that the Christians were dull, but their lack of cooperation caused the lack of performance. And it is this same attitude that keeps manifesting itself in our society today

Sir.
The Arabic language, Arab culture and Arab interest (propagation of islam in order to sell their culture) is the meeting point for the Muslim that are very religious.

The hausas understood this, that is why they got ride of their own culture, and adopted the Arab culture in other to form a unified North.

What is sustaining the peace in the south is the cultural bonds that is between the Muslims and Christians if not the Southwest would have become a war torn area like the north.

The culture of the North is islam, so they get what islam has to offer.

Very interesting piece. I liked it.
I wonder why "tribe" is so much more important than being brethren in Christ Jesus? Followers of Christ Jesus.....first & foremost.
I've noticed folks saying, "I'm a such-and-such man first." So then how can one who allegedly claims "born again" (with that tribal-first mind-set) look at another person from another tribe (who is also born-again) as a brethren without prejudice? Something's wrong somewhere....in the heart.
That boggles my mind....
When Christ has truly taken hold of a person, race, ethnicity, tribe should instantly become secondary....
Something has to differentiate Christ' sincere followers from the false.

First, Most who claim Christians are not Truly Christians.

Secondly, tribal segregation is Proof of being Anti-Christ!

Therefore, thirdly, tribal segregation is only weakening and destroying those who are not Christians!

I have always wondered why the Niger Delta states ie entire south south of Nigeria refuse to join East/West Nigeria in this agitation. In a news last year, one of the governors said his state was not a Biafra state. I guess it's because the igbos are not seen as straightfor*ward, the north seen as terro*rists, while the west have close affinity with the north and has a great number of Moslems. Wether we like it or not, religion has a great effect on how Nigerians view/accept each other. So I wouldn't be surprised if chaos erupts now, and a Yoruba moslem supports his hausa/Fulani MOSLEM neighbor to slain the Christian Igbos/Niger Deltans. What I'm trying to say is that, yoruba land has a huge number of ISLAM followers, we can't trust them. Remember that their religion supports forceful conversion, killing for their beliefs, etc which is in complete contrast to the beliefs of Christianity.

I am beginning to hear news about the North accepting the idea of a secession. The question remains, is a peaceful secession possible? Peaceful secession is what we need. Of course the Hausas would remain with the Fulani, they are one and the same. Middle belt would chose where they wish to belong. The yorubas have their own land, while Niger Delta would have theirs as well. Looks like the country is sitting on a time bomb, God help us.
