Why Is Nigeria So Tribal? by lynkyinka(m): 6:21pm On Nov 11, 2011
I decided to create this thread having being an active visitor to this site over the past few months and noticed the way people react to topics;
this is what ensues even in our daily lives, the igbo people form a caucus while the other tribes do as well, but even amongst the known tribes, there still exists annihilation and segmentation, CAN THIS NATION BE UNITED?

That's an interesting question. Some of them are so quick to say that Blacks in America aren't into families and unity but MANY OF AFRICANS can't even sing Kum Ba Ya in unity.

Fake people are the first ones to throw a rock when looking in the mirror.

Eating you own vomit. Why did you list only the Igbos? That shows that you're one of the problems plaguing this country. Hypocrite.

There is nothing wrong with you asking this question but no society is pure in the world from disputes between groups(whether racial, ethnic, religious and etc) it's inevitable. There's religious fighting in the middle east since the times of Abraham in the bible between Arabs and Hebrews(Jews); racial & ethnic fighting is in most parts of the world even the western world as mighty as they make themselves feel they are not immune to it as well( and at times it is worse). Some societies just know how to move forward with it, some stay at a stand still with it, some are transitioning themselves from it, and some societies are backwards as a result of it. However I must warn you, your question will in directly bring in the tribal people you are complaining about & if you are Nigerian I feel you should already know that answer to your question.

Lastly don't mistake tribal pride & staying with ones tribe(like marriage and etc) with tribal bigotry or hate; I have noticed some people in nairaland mix those two things together and don't know the difference
