Your fellow Southerner is in a position to give you employment.

You go to him for employment.

You speak good English and write an excellent application letter to impress him.

He tells you to bring your qualifications.

You bring your First Degree (First Class or second class).

He tells you to go and do your Masters and even PhD for you to get the job.

ON THE OTHER HAND

A Northerner is in a position to give employment.

A northerner goes to him.

He speaks Hausa to him.

He tells him to bring his qualifications.

He brings a third class degree or an SSCE with two Credits.

He gets the job and saves money to further his education.

He gets a Masters Degree while doing the job.

Tomorrow, he is appointed as Executive Director.

Ten years Later, he becomes Chairman or DG of the Agency.

The Southerner sees this and hates on the northern Man.

He accuses him of nepotism.

But that's not nepotism.

That's communalism.

Southerners must understand the difference between nepotism and communalism.

Helping your Brother to succeed is not nepotism.

Southerners just need to learn how to love one another like Northerners do.

Stop hiding opportunities from your people.

This writeup is not about tribalism but about the need to help others when you are in the right position to do so.

When disturbing trends like this one above attempt to normalise themselves in our head - then the future is bleak.

Infact there is no future.

The enthronement of mediocrity over meritocracy was the start point of failure in Nigeria as we now know.

What you have written above is nonsense. Am aberration from common sense and rationality.

Infact it is the tradition of fools to place kin over the kindness of justice.

The Northern goat who gave a job to his brother ought to be arrested and sentence to prison for lengthy periods.

The reason we have barely made progress is due to the systemic ethnic elitism, tribal feudalism and Northern oligarchy that has rendered the country useless.

What if the resources of the SE and SS were distributed by tribe and 'Communalism' - would your arid, landlocked region have any iota of development asides shoe shining and selling sugarcane?
