However, one should not confuse racism or tribalism with discrimination.

They are NOT the same.

Racism is an allegory.

Tribalism is an allegory.

Discrimination is a genuine and meaningful word.

I have a lot of sympathy for Op.

dazzlingd:
I understand exactly what u meant....

here in Nigeria, this happens a lot, for example, in a work place where majority of staff are igbos, right in the meeting, they will all start speaking igbo to themselves while you being the only Yoruba there get confused and frustrated....or even roommates who starts speaking Yoruba to themselves leaving the only igbo person in the room to confusion and frustration...its a technical form of tribalism.....and yet same people quoting u have one time or the other suffered the same.

A quick fix?

Lets assume three major Nigerian Languages: Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba.

(a)All Hausa speaking areas and the hinterlands are to create into their education system the enviroment whereby from elementary to tertiary institution, the Hausa language is compulsory and is used to teach all subjects. Ibo & Yoruba are elective subjects, students are to pick one.

(b) All Ibo speaking areas and the hinterlands are to create into their education system the enviroment whereby from elementary to to tertiary institution, the Ibo language is compulsory and is used to teach all subjects. Hausa & Yoruba are elective subjects, students are to pick one.

(c) All Yoruba speaking areas and the hinterlands are to create into their education system the enviroment whereby from elementary to tertiary institution, the Yoruba language is compulsory and is used to teach all subjects. Hausa & Ibo are elective subjects, students are to pick one.

Apart from the fact that the enviroment that allows for these type of conditions to hold will sustain numerous breakthroughs often in all our daily lives, especially in the science and technology sector.

Will further improve our correlation and communicational skills.

At a certain point in time after the implementation of these policies into the current education system, every Nigerian that passes through the new and improved version will be versed in at the least two Nigerian Languages. Leading to a good solution in the scenarios presented in your post and further boosting the Nations productivity.

JerryLegend:
Nice gesture Mr Benson. Thank God you got rewarded big time with a car and now a good reputation anywhere you table your matters now

I agree with you here

JerryLegend:
... You wouldn't have gotten away with the money anyways...

Eventhough he isnt suppose to know that.

Plain and simple, like you say, Mr Benson of a guy is just genuine and a good person.

Our politicians and law makers can learn a few things here.

Gistpeeps:
Comrade Benson Efeotor, a civil servant working with the Delta State Ministry of Finance (Project E-Delta), has returned the sum of N53,121,650, recently erroneously paid into his account by the state government.

In an interview with newsmen, Efeotor said, “I returned the money because I don’t have such money in my bank account.” He added that anyone who will say he was wrong for returning the money to the government is a “thief.”

However, on May Day, he was rewarded with a brand new car, courtesy of the Delta State government.

God bless that the Mr Benson

God bless Nigeria

Ones school-of-thought is determined by ones geographical inheritance, there is NO short cut. Its either we face the truth NOW or forever keep our peace.

For days, months and years we have invested all our spirituality into false HOPES and ASPIRATIONS. When common sense dictates that the only TRUE aspiration is one that which can actually be achieved in its entirety.

There is so much to learn about ourselves and surroundings yet we are being taught NOT to think; what kind of psychology beats continuity.

We dont need to be saved by anyone or anything because God has already given that to us countless times and i dont see that stopping anytime soon.

We dont need to repent because We are NOT a guilty people.

We are NOT waiting for a white or tanned man to come an eliviate US from suffering because thats just NONSENSICAL if a white or tanned man was going to descend from the skies to eliviate anyone, the first people on the list would be those that look like HIM. Its not discrimination, its common sense.

We dont need to face anywhere during petition but our immediate solvable problems.

We dont need salvation because we were saved the day we were allowed into the world

All the ethics and moral philosophy we need to navigate the planet Earth is already present in our OWN psychology.

Our ancestors, heroes and saviours deserve nothing more than the best reception.

What is the point in living for somebody elses goal.

There is so much work to be done, and yet little effort awarded to a course.

Let us invoke the spirit of OUR ancestors, in everything that we partake, We need to operate as if our world has been stolen and we AIM to re-take it.

We have to snap out of this daze that we are in, it's us, we are the LIGHT of OUR world nobody else.

Rossikk:
The international prices of our primary exports - palm oil, groundnuts, cocoa, zinc, rubber, coal, timber etc, were very high, using purchasing power parity.

In other words, if the combined price of all those exports per year was £1 billion in 1940, that £1 billion is worth over £20 billion today, in terms of Purchasing Power Parity.

So a road that would cost £100 million to build today, would have cost £5 million in 1940.

BUT THE ROADS WERE NOT BUILT. NOTHING WAS.




See how you reason like a cursed mad man? So it is better to NOT BUILD ANY universities at all than to build universities that later ''deteriorate''?

So if we visit the school that educated you and find it deteriorating, then that school should never have been built at all, and you should have remained an illiterate?

Can't you see your reasoning is demented and sick? What the hell is wrong with you??




MUMU SLAVEBOY DUNCE, THEY WEREN'T BUILT AT ALL!!!!! WHY?

Mr ''IF''....

MY GOODNESS!!! You are a total SLAVE with FOAM where your brain ought to be. They didn't build anything! They chopped the money, yet you're praising them. MUMU X 100000...



Universities are just ONE example. We could say the exact same thing about EVERY other public facilities, from roads to airports, and from primary and secondary school to hospitals and power plants.

If you had a working brain instead if being a slave-minded dunce, you would ask why we had none or very few of those things after 63 years of uninterrupted white rule.

The black leaders that are at least providing some of these things, you curse and abuse them daily. The whites that built ZERO, you praise them to high heavens! You are SICK IN THE HEAD.

That SICKNESS is called colonial mentality and brainwashing.

Pray for your deliverance.

You're 100% accurate with your analyses here, one which i certainly argree.

Good concept Op.

Hopefuly they can find us a more cleaner version.

No, we should hand the country to an up and coming prospect.

Use our vote to guide our nations future.

Maintain law abiding citizen.

Help Nigeria to greater heights.

Ask yourself, how can i assist in making Nigeria better place for all of us.

Take a part of the responsibiity for making Nigeria greater than ever before.

EdiAbali:
I like the white people from Northern Europe, they are not corrupt and wicked like others, Britain planted corruption in Nigeria

All of Europe took part in the Trans Atlantic campaign, as is the case with colonisation. None are spared from the tarnishing brush.

Why you cant like the black people in Northern Europe?

Colonization amounts to one of the worst attrocities the world has ever seen.

Africa civilised the world NOT colonization.

Op you have been lied to.

In antiquity, there’s evidence to suggest that during a certain point in time, all humans on our planet are African; black, brown and bronze.

Two distinct phenomenon occur simultaneously:

(1)Geological phenomena i.e. Ice Age

(2)Biological phenomena i.e African women are granted a unique special ability that allows giving birth to non-African looking offspring.

These two distinct phenomenon are said to have combined to create the environment for the new ethnic groups that would later join the African on planet Earth.

Africans have been existence since the dawn of time, whilst records put the current stock of Europeans and Asians in existence as of the Common Era.

Now OP maybe you want to re-evaluate.

According to African studies, Africans are seen as the true saviours of the world.

Appreciate yourself, respect the African narrative, adopt the correct mindset; there is no limit to what anyone can achieve.

No change needed.

Yorubas aren't accommodating IGBOS in Lagos.

I hear you and wish their to be a change for the better.

grandstar:
Pagan9ja is a Hausa pagan and so will be familiar with what I've just said.

Where did I place my foot wrong? I really don't understand what you are saying

Am just saying that there are some people that care for their animals, pets e.t.c that see things differently from those that dont have pets in their lives.

Although a minority of the general public, its only fair that our concerns are put into the correct consideration.

Eventhough the current laws dont challenge such conceptual behaviour, let us all codemn with one voice.

Ignorance is only acceptable before been "shown the light".

Once you have been unlocked, then you cannot hide behinde ignorance.

Most of the contributors to the thread have unlocked our understanding that it isnt cool to think of cats as evil servant, rather most domesticated cats are in all reality peoples pets.

And people have feelings for our pets; some have ethical and moral obligations to treat all animals with dignity and care.

grandstar:
Thanks.

The biggest cat I've seen was in Bauchi town. It was so because a group of Suya men kept throwing it discarded meat from the one they were cutting from

How does a big cat in Bauchi get into the contexual debate here?

Dont you realise that it invalidates the absurd and ludacris point you intent to make.

Alright, you agree with the Op and his short comings, ok.

Then come out and say it, instead of trying to knock our rebuke.

The bottomline is that it is not nice.

It is not cool.

It isnt funny.

What is the point?

PAGAN9JA:
Here are mine:

They are adorable!. Bless 'em.

gypsey:
You couldn't have put it Any better. You are %10000000 correct. Just like the Guy I quoted. but i said, It would be Impossible. The youths who are supposed to overhaul the system have Also Adopted The corrupt mentality of their Almost Ancient and Achaic so called leaders.


You are Right, money isn't everything. but Nigerians Don't believe so. Every body in Nigeria is Money obssessed. Hence the Money Attached Criminalities and careless murder of Fellow Citizens.

Thank you sir. Again i agree with your analyses here.

Teach!

gypsey:
Mmmm.. I have no choice but to Agree with you, but As i ve asserted stressfully, it would be impossible. it would proberbly lead to a civil war.

perhaps that's what is needed, A total clear up of back log of Already corrupted, bigoted, self hating and destructive nation or people? with a sharing money mindsets

Even the Nigerian youths have Adopted such mindsets.

I agree with your analyses here.

The only instance that will allow for a positive outcome in splitting is if happens all across the continent.

Unless if its a continental project; a total progressive reconstruction having security, prosperity and effeciency as a mindset e t.c


Most of our current laws are majorly unfit for purpose. Its in my opinion that theres a need for an altogether new intellectual debate regarding the "nuts and bolts" of our current laws. Most are archaic, out-dated and abslotuely have little content to help elivate the situation of Nigeria's "working class".

There is need to re-visit our constitution and fine tune to be-fit the here and now.

Why is it that if one that can afford to renovate his/her local governments library is thrown into a beurocratic nightmare that results in library not being renovated as firsr intended. Archaic laws that dont allow for the general public to assist in the development of the nations infrastructure.

New laws or enhancing existing laws so as to accomodate for these concerns.

The powers that be within the government structures have their chance to leave a mark on history for their next generations.

Money is NOT everything.

Anyone can name a few things that are more important, heres one.

Having your names engraved into African history as the set of politicians that began a radical change that leads to major improvements in the political, sociological and economical situation of the Nigerian general public.



(a) free education starting from day of birth
(b) national service programme to start from secondary school
(c) career programme to begin after secondary school
(d) career programme after NYSC
(e) free comprehensive vocational programme available for all ages. running everyday of the year, including saturdays and sundays.

Government can easily and steadily change their ways and make reservations to afford sponsors such programmes for the next 100 years or so.

PrecisionFx:
Yorubas for the 1000th time, U aren't accommodating igbos and Hausas in Lagos.

Generically, Yoruba own Lagos in as such is part of Yorubaland in Nigeria.

However, any Nigerian born and or raised within Lagos has by right of birth or long association has the exact same rights as stipulated by the constitution with respect to the State of Excellence.

If you talk about constitutional rights, yes you are correct. If you claim Lagos by birth or long associaation, then, you has the same equal constitutional rights as everyone else in accordance with the law

PAGAN9JA:
the reason we are laghing behind other countries regarding some basic laws is because there is hardly any unity amongst people neither do people think for themselves or take a stand
people time and again forget that the government is to serve the people not vice versa. many oc our laws cureently in use are outdated and date back to colonial times.

people here mock animal rights activists but these same people are too cowardly to stand up and protest for basic human rights, labour laws and minimum wage laws.

Exactly, everyone reading the thread is encouraged to get on the to the intellectual vehicle towards the nations unity.

Theres so much work to be done, firstly, as you eloquently elude to above:

Most of our current laws are majorly unfit for purpose. Its in my opinion that theres a need for an altogether new intellectual debate regarding the "nuts and bolts" of our current laws. Most are archaic, out-dated and abslotuely have little content to help elivate the situation of Nigeria's "working class".

PAGAN9JA:
If Nigerian law has no provision for this then the law must change and only the people can bring about this change...

Totally agree with you here.

Hopefuly in the near future the law will have to accomodate for our understandable concerns surrounding these issues.

Stop the uneccessary killing of cats!

YUNGLURD:
Spare me this epistles, we all have our likes and dislikes, as such, he made his decision, so y crying over spilt milk?...We re humans, u don't expect us to think in the same direction. He didn't commit any crime as far as Nigeria law is concerned.

I totally agree with the spirit of your post here. Just saying...

YUNGLURD:
Why are ppl wailing all because the Op killed an ordinary cat, did he kill someone's mother?..Afterall,, he's nt the.cause of ur predicaments..I just.don't understand y most ppl are frustrated, instead of u all to channel us grievances towards those ur.govt raping ur existence....Foolish lots claiming Animal activists... Cat kill una there

If you come accross a homeless cat or any domesticated pet, feed them and move on.

Or adopt and care for them if you so wish, stop killing cats uneccessaily.

The guy got rid someones pet and you think it funny enough to want to try and justify his senselessness?

Nobody wants a cat chasing them in their dreams i am right to assume.

You both obviously dont appreciate the right for one to have pets. Pets are important for the great work they partake in both the eco system and in the physchological enhancements of our homes.

Apart from the standard family, in a way, pets are sometimes seen and appreciated as a part of the family in many homes.

Therefore, its common sense to want to treat all animals with respect and dignity, especially those that clearly appear as domesticated animals are to be treated more favourably still.

Some pets are the loved that much, have their names added into WILLS and benefeciary documents.

Cats are not servants of evil mystics! Thats a pure nonsense.

Cats as domesticated animals are normally cudly, loveable, trendy and fun to have around the house.

Think Again!

If you come accross a homeless cat or any domesticated pet, feed them and move on.

Or adopt them and care for them.

Kenmatt:
And again, there is this notion that cats are widely used by Witches and Witzards.

But that is obviously a nonsense. Unproven gibberish.

Probably Eurocentric and Asiatic false assertions that gave birth to the notion in the first place.

Cats are actually very good hunters of pesky anoying rodents. And are cute, cuddly and fun to have around.

You affect more harm to the eco-system by killing a cat than you really want to understand.

Stop killing cats uneccessarily.

The entrepreneurs at the computer village should NOT despair, the hub is reknowned tbroughout the Nation and beyond.

PrecisionFx:
Lagos is no man's land.

When we say Lagos is No mans land, is often correctly seen as a praise- name with respect to the hospitality and genorousity of lagosians making a cool and nice place for all Nigerians to live, work and prosper similar to places as New York, Parris, Shanghai e.t.c

adidison:
You know they are going to extort from them, nothing like breathe goodness into their everyday lives. This is corruption and it will destroy the place and both will lose. Sad!!!

I seriously hope not.
