-Nigeria is a colonial construct and remains a symbol of British colonialism, with one of the most backward groups in Africa, their caretaker. Hence, why I no longer recognise it as a country, and will never hesitate to lead the enemy to the stable.

-People in my household who are still with “Nigerian passport” sees it for what it is- a mere travel document that should be discarded like a used tampon at any slightest opportunity.

-The OP is spot on, by the way. The job of reorienting the African mind is a multigenerational herculean task. A job that requires heavyweights in the form of Freud, Jung, Nietzsche and co.

United States & Canada are both a 100 times more diverse than Nigeria, let’s just say as usual the black man is unable to solve his problems so he comes up with excuses.

Me and my kids are doing very well, we don’t need luck but we are extremely lucky if you know what I mean.

Nigeria is our country and our country is Nigeria. This is an undeniable fact, we hold the Nigerian passport, we are not delusional at all, we face reality as it stands on ground.

-Good for you and your kids. All the very best. smiley

Nope. The job is not as difficult as you make it seem, it starts with your mindset and thinking what you can do to better your country.

The United States is a colonial construct, same with Canada, same with South Africa, Singapore etc. being a colonial construct is not the end of the world. When Nigeria was a powerhouse was it not a colonial construct back then?

You can live in any country you want, people will still ask you where are you from originally? You can never run away from your background. A true son of the soil will never be ashamed of where he comes from. If you truly do not care about this country anymore you won’t be on nairaland, that’s a fact.

So Punch editors are in Nairaland.
They need to pay me for clearing this fallacy here.

Which one is that cọck and bull story they made up in the write up?
Just, give me and Nairaland our credit instead of wasting your energy.

Thank you, they have finally accepted our facts.

What annoys me more than anything is when ignorant mor0ns call nigeria "our nation'. It is not a nation but a country filled with potpourri of nations.

You think minorities don’t suffer in USA? US & Canada are multinational states, in the US they have 2 pseudo-official languages, English and Spanish. Park well, minorities are always treated as such everywhere.

I’m Nigerian, I carry a Nigerian passport. I will continue to do my part to make Nigeria a better country at home and abroad. I will influence governance not with noise and wailing but with my vote, from local government level, to the state assembly and national assembly.

I will not turn my back against my country or soil it’s reputation publicly, that would make me an enemy of my state and a traitor. I am neither of those things.

This is what I mean by complete and total rehabilitation, the Nigerian people who have been delusional need to understand that they are only making things worse, especially for themselves. Nigeria is all we got.

Nigerians are failing for the same tactics the British used,I feel embarrassed when someone call Igbo tribe wtf.
Am Igbo by Ethnicity and Isu by tribe
You're igbo by nation, you're of the Igbo nation. In a nation, there are tribes.
Re: Nigeria Is Not Made Up Of Tribes But Nations —Punch by philiancoop(m): 12:02pm On Dec 06, 2021
Arda1000:
wtf did you get this definition of tribe, Tribes got to do with people who share common ancestry and are related culturally and are of same Ethnicity.

Nation on the other hand you are correct.
If Nigeria defines a tribe then where is the Ethnicity then?
Because you get an Ethnic group before getting to know the various tribes,Just like Jews for example

Let me help you understand.

Nation is a people who come from the same ancestry. So they have blood relations, though distant. They then have the same culture, LANGUAGE, etc. Like yoruba nation, Igbo nation, Fulani nation, Benin Nation. Nigeria is not a nation. Nigeria does not speak the same language
Re: Nigeria Is Not Made Up Of Tribes But Nations —Punch by bjdon: 12:10pm On Dec 06, 2021
Finally! I've been saying this for ages. The British used the term 'Tribe' to describe our various nations, so that we would not think of ourselves in terms of the great African kingdoms and Empires that had existed before the white man arrived.
I warn people in conversations to never to refer to the Edo's as a tribe. I am not from a tribe. I am from the Edo Kingdom, a kingdom that currently has approx 5 Million people, which is more than Lativa and Estonia combined. How can you call the Igbo a tribe? There are more Igbo people in this world than there are people in Belgium. How can you call the Yoruba a tribe? There are more Yoruba people than there are People in Portugal. We all need to accept the truth. Nigeria is not a nation of tribes, it is an almagamation of nations. That must be the basis for any so called restructuring.
