Tribalism Our Major Problem In Nigeria. My Experience With A Client by Nobody: 2:04pm On Oct 05, 2021
This country will continue to experience deep mess if we don't over grow to an extent this thing called tribalism and religion. Honestly, both are causing us deep pain but many are yet to realize it.

I had a terrible experience with a male client yesterday, (tribe withheld) but for those who can guess where it happened best of luck.

So I am big time into real estate, and I had this bungalow someone gave to me to sell. I have been marketing this property for the past 2 weeks, of course people have been showing interest and inspections happening so fast and almost daily as usual but price has kept the property in the market thus far.

Just yesterday my phone rang and it was a colleague who was bringing a client to come check the property. I hurriedly left my station to the location of the property. Then the client arrived and we exchanged pleasantry. Long story short he inspected the property and seemed cool with the location and structure.

Then I noticed he spoke to me in his dialect and I responded in English, I saw the surprise all over his face like wtf. Then right there he asked me, are you not bla bla bla (his tribe) and I said no and he said, you mean my kingsman gave you a stranger his property to market? And I said yes and he walked straight to his car and drove off with my colleague that was the last I heard from him.

Then I called my colleague to ask about the client and he told me he was not happy seeing a stranger selling the property in their land and that he seemed not interested anymore. I was shocked to my bone marrow.

I have been left in shock since yesterday. How can a man in his middle 50s act in that manner as exposed as he seemed because mere looking at him and hearing him speak you will know he is an alite. He can't be placed in the class of low lives.

I have been left wondering if such rooted sentiment is deeply sitting in this man then where is this one Nigeria we talk about and preach? It also means that this man can not hand over his valuable to someone from another tribe to sell, it must be someone from his own tribe.

Well, just this morning I received a letter of offer from another buyer who had earlier inspected and by Gods grace my market go soon sell.

Tribalism is evil, let's do away with it before it consumes us. We were first humans before tribe.

Why you no wan talk the name of the tribe.

The only thing you don't owe us is saying the names and location.

Nah person wey never comot for him state of origin go another state or geopolitical region go think say Nigeria is United.

E get one GUS season like that, wey b say a guy from the SE talk say, e dey hear say Yorubas are weaklings, so e dey shock say the Yoruba guy is that strong

Chidi mokeme was the host of the show back then.

Only a total restructuring of Nigeria go help this country, powerful Geopolitical region or very powerful state.

We can't be running Nigeria like China and expect it to work. In China, absolute majority of the population are Chinese.

Let's run Nigeria like the USA or UK.

If we can't agree on a way to run Nigeria, then we should go our different ways.

You need to modify your post to reflect your topic. Which tribe particularly? Nobody would kill you if you mention one. If you ask me, every region is guilty of this, except yoruba. Na we first dey go marry igbo and hausas before they copied us grin

My first experience with tribalism was when I was posted to serve as a corper. I noticed all hausas and igbos were always gathered in one place , secluding themselves from us yorubas. We didn't do what they were all doing as we mixed with everybody inside the orientation camp freely, even forcing them to take pictures with us, even in same platoon. My doctor friend first noticed this . The only difference I saw was that, their female counterparts were mingling freely with us.

If you want to see the true description of Nigeria, get to the orientation camp. This trend goes down to the way each region is today. We happen to be the only region and tribe who is more tolerant. We don't want to know whether you're ibo or hausa. So long as you come in peace, we embrace you with all our hearts. Like I've always said, we're the only tribe upholding the unity of this country from time immemorial. Hausas want to divide us with sharia and ibo wants Biafra. We've been victim of Nigerian unity, even losing MKO and Co in the battle for one Nigeria. I remember in 1993 when every tribe left us in lagos. We didn't move an inch.

This country won't break until when we're ready to leave . Since we started the agitation, the country hasn't been doing things right...our economy even felt it. We hold the magic wand. Even when a non yoruba is president , we're still the ones doing the job underneath. The vat issue which is almost tearing Nigeria apart was brought up by a yorubaman at the first southern governors meetings g in asaba and wike was roaring like a lion during the meeting...that's class for you. Na God dash us the sense. These are the stuffs they've never known until now but we did and kept. We're the ones holding Biafra and they know it. Once we say...e don do, we wan commot... you see how things would begin falling apart grin.

It is only tribalism when it affects you but "freedom" when you are the perpetrator
Merely judging from your moniker, you are likely an irredeemable tribalist yourself.

You never ready to do business

Go to places like Alaba Int, Aspamda, Ladipo market and other Ibo dominated business areas in Lagos, conversing in their local language will automatically bring you closer to the business owner and smoothen your transactions. Same with the Hausas, once they identify you communicate in the language they understand, you'd enjoy good discounted deals as they will see you as brothers that was probably born in foreign land

Talking from experience.

Tribalism exists because it is sensible to shortsighted tribalists.
I have no problem with his kind but it is silly for tribalists to be complaining of tribalism.

I had a terrible experience with a male client yesterday, (tribe withheld) but for those who can guess where it happened best of luck.

So I am big time into real estate, and I had this bungalow someone gave to me to sell. I have been marketing this property for the past 2 weeks, of course people have been showing interest and inspections happening so fast and almost daily as usual but price has kept the property in the market thus far.

Just yesterday my phone rang and it was a colleague who was bringing a client to come check the property. I hurriedly left my station to the location of the property. Then the client arrived and we exchanged pleasantry. Long story short he inspected the property and seemed cool with the location and structure.

Then I noticed he spoke to me in his dialect and I responded in English, I saw the surprise all over his face like wtf. Then right there he asked me, are you not bla bla bla (his tribe) and I said no and he said, you mean my kingsman gave you a stranger his property to market? And I said yes and he walked straight to his car and drove off with my colleague that was the last I heard from him.

Then I called my colleague to ask about the client and he told me he was not happy seeing a stranger selling the property in their land and that he seemed not interested anymore. I was shocked to my bone marrow.

I have been left in shock since yesterday. How can a man in his middle 50s act in that manner as exposed as he seemed because mere looking at him and hearing him speak you will know he is an alite. He can't be placed in the class of low lives.

I have been left wondering if such rooted sentiment is deeply sitting in this man then where is this one Nigeria we talk about and preach? It also means that this man can not hand over his valuable to someone from another tribe to sell, it must be someone from his own tribe.

Well, just this morning I received a letter of offer from another buyer who had earlier inspected and by Gods grace my market go soon sell.

Tribalism is evil, let's do away with it before it consumes us. We were first humans before tribe.

I am a web developer and Igbo by tribe. Only two Igbo's have patronized me. The rest of my clients are Yoruba's and Muslim northerners. In business I don't think it is wise to bring in tribalism. Even our politicians loot money together irrespective of tribe. As a client, If business interest does not supercede tribalism in our deal then I don't think you are worthy to do business with

I have been left in shock since yesterday. How can a man in his middle 50s act in that manner as exposed as he seemed because mere looking at him and hearing him speak you will know he is an alite. He can't be placed in the class of low lives.

I have been left wondering if such rooted sentiment is deeply sitting in this man then where is this one Nigeria we talk about and preach? It also means that this man can not hand over his valuable to someone from another tribe to sell, it must be someone from his own tribe.

Well, just this morning I received a letter of offer from another buyer who had earlier inspected and by Gods grace my market go soon sell.

Tribalism is evil, let's do away with it before it consumes us. We were first humans before tribe.
