[size=14pt]. . .Just to help them.[/size]

This thread is against all those who think Nigerians should be divided into "home-based" and "diasporic / diasporan". WE ARE ALL NIGERIANS.
It is against those who think that Nigerians abroad are sub-Nigerian and have no right to comment or take sides in Nigerian issues.

Please Explain the involvement of isoko.

Me sef be Isoko.
You want me to use Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo and become the new "tribalist" in town?
Wisdom says, use your own thing when the message is for everybody.

Dis Guy:
you see Yoruba people don't know their mate, they forget too easily

_{what did dbanj do again?}

Maybe you are forgetting Fela. . .

Fela is another one of us that was very true to his identity, but became very well known in the West. In fact it is easy to see that, no fake fool has ever become popular outside our shores.

[size=14pt]Where is bilymuse na? Am still waiting o![/size]

SEFAGO:
true. Remember its my life?

Precisely. He was a huge success, yet he was based in Sweden!

Here's one of his videos;

Let's be proud of who we are. If you are in the US or Europe, represent yourself. No fake names or accents, die with your identity.

SEFAGO:
Thats not fair now everyone would want their category. i want a new category for myself too, i am still thinking of what it should be called though

Easy. . . Call it "transgendered".

ezeagu:
Being a Homo Sapien? No wonder people are dying everywhere in the country!

No, by calling oneself female while hankering after lovely female butt. . . That kain homo will land Sefago for krenk for 9ja!

SEFAGO:
ezeagu, abeg join my group you know where you belong, dont run away. Can you call Beaf too? We have to stay strong in the midst of other opposition. I know you are not a tribalist so you are in the same category with me

Abeg, forget my name . Your group ke! Homo is a jailable crime in 9ja.

FL Gators:
Beaf, why na?

I couldn't resist the unreal invitation

How's you

Correction, we are at 130 not 142. But still a disgrace. . .

Tribal bashing is part and parcel of Nairaland, it wont stop today nor very soon.
Its the reality of Nigeria life, more than 80% of Nigerians are tribalist.

In other international forum, ethnic / race bashing goes on. Learn to live with it.

If somebody bash your tribe, bash his tribe or bash any other tribe that suit your ego; otherwise log off.

Please what is your ethnic group? I want to bash it.

You can sort of work it out from here http://media.transparency.org/imaps/cpi2009/

Nigeria is bad (our index is 3.0 - 3.9). But how can the US be in the 9.0 - 10 group (with global economic meltdown, various "madoff's" etc )?

The list is rubbish!

naijababe:
Good for you but I don't bother because most times conversing with certain types of people is an absolute waste of my time because our views are that divergent so I just dont bother. You on the other hand have the energy which is commendable

Are you honestly telling me that u have not used a term some else will consider derogatory on another user?

. . .Never out of the blue and never dragging others in with sweeping statements. That said, I am no saint; but then, I can own up to my errors.

Come on, lets hug and move on . Welcome to NL proper.

SEFAGO:
This is termed dehumanizing of a specific ethnicity by one group. In case you guys dont know ezeagu and company are preparing a genocide against the yoruba and hausas, while using jona and becomrich as a smokescreen to hide the real issues in mind:

Now, I am beginning to display igbo paranoia.

No. You are just being an obnoxious tribalist.

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=353315.msg4945275#msg4945275 date=1258483185]check your brother mekushit's threads.

more like him if you care to know.[/quote]"Brother"? I think we might be in danger of one huge tribal war here.

[size=14pt]People like Mukuslogan and *Jona should have their logins restricted to the racism and tribalism sections where they can wax their obnoxious threads.[/size]

citizenY:
@Beaf/

Your comments should be directed to Diokpa who opened the thread, I am responding
locus in quo. I do not visit the tribalism section. It would not have come to my attention.
I agree that posters should use the appropriate sections. It is better.

Ok.
In the past, all tribalistic posts used to end up in the racism and tribalism section (I don't know what is going on these days). I personally believe that isn't enough; good folk like mekuslogan (alias mekusxxx), *jona, *comfort etc, should have their logins restricted to the racism and tribalism section.

naliakar:
Great developments. Anything from the Russian side?

The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut is Russian (top). Russia is a bit behind in the development of new high tech stuff (compared to the US and China); they are mostly modernising cold war stuff.

naijababe:
@ Beaf
As I said before this is simply an opinion and, as far as I can see you are not shy to dispense with your opinions either. U either agree, disagree or stand aside.

I never stand aside. I am forthright with my opinions, I'm no "grazer".

It is wrong to start a thread with derogatory terms and sweeping statements on your fellow forum users.
If you feel strongly enough about someones behaviour, the right thing to do is tackle them there and then, it isn't opening an oblique thread.
Keep away from sweeping statements.

vangogh:
It is amazing how one person's observation will elicit so much wrath from you. It speaks volume to your
temperament. You can simply agree or disagree with her observation. Like I said earlier, I will not join issue with you.
This is my last response to you.

Wrath?
Where have I expressed any wrath on this thread? Ehn, you "grazer"?
Or is it because I put down your cowardly attempt to stab in the dark?

Grazing must do a lot of damage to the mind.

citizenY:
@ Ezeagu,

With all due respect, we have to live with it. That is the price we have to pay for democracy.
I do not need to further spoil your day by referring to the rabid , fire spitting, tribal bigots
or those who hate one religion or the other with a passion; or those who insult our sensibilities by
flinging Biafra and the civil war in our faces as if the war is on going. As far as they are concerned
the war is still on. They hate our country with a passion but they cannot form a quorum to even discuss
their departure and have never given suggestions on what the solution should be. We have even asked for
the location of their wailing wall so that we can join them on a regular basis if that is a solution. No response
They continue with this victim/persecution complex.

Infact I have the feeeling that foreigners visiting Nairaland come here to amuse themselves.

You ain't making much sense. There is a racism and tribalism section where you can trash out the "tribalistic" issues you raising.

naijababe:
Feel free to put me where you think I belong since you already have an opinion or are forming one already

My dear, that is not my purpose. All I am telling you is that what you are doing is a mistake and not very wise.

Avoid derogatory language, unless it is necessary. The words below are all yours (some are very ill-advised):

1) The Ostriches
a) Ethnicists
b) Faithfuls
c) The fanatics
d) Elites
2) The Ignorants
3) The realists
4) The Grazers
5) The Idiots - The fuddyduddies

vangogh:
Another vindication!
You may not know this, you belong to the first group subset a and b. Hope you fix yourself, and don't think I'll
join issue with you. Remember I am a grazer.

Yeah, your brain is full of grass.
You call someone who is not religious a "faithful"? Wow!
Not speaking (call it "grazing" doesn't hide certain deficiencies. . . A quiet but stupid person is still stupid.

naijababe:
I concluded that I'm grazer because I hardly contribute, that to me means I really am a siddon look nairalander if you can't prove otherwise I remain a grazer.

I am not trying to prove anything (you are currently supplying the proofs one way or the other).
It really is simple, if you contribute more, we would know where you really stand. Among those who make few contributions are wise people, intelligent people, fools, idiots etc. So why should those terms apply only to those who contribute to NL?

Judge yourself. Would you fall into any of these groups?

The Idiots - The fuddyduddies who provide even greater comedy than the Ignorants.

or

The fanatics - very similar to the ethnicists, every thread degenerates into a religious fisticuff. A lot of these people I personally find irritating

or

The Ignorants - These people provide the comedy I alluded to ealier, some of them believe that grammar equals intelligence and when backed to corner will resort to insults. All most all the time everything to them is either black or white, you'll have a hard time having a sensible conversation with them and for this group common sense is not common

donjon:
@beaf,
what right does he have to predict genocide & destruction on my people?
I hate it, when people swallow panadol for another persons headache.
Four years ago, USA predicted that Nigeria will divide! Have we divided?
People should stop yarning rubbish about niger-deltans!

Sorry about what I said, I mis-read your words.

vangogh:
@Naijababe

Some of the responses so far have vindicated you! Some posters are actually classifying themselves without
realizing they are doing so.
Expect more of the "same ole same ole" from the first group.
Good-luck - you need it to withstand their venom.

A very obvious coward

naijababe:
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Thank you.

I am wondering how you have come to the conclusion that you are a "grazer", simply because you haven't made any meaningful contribution over 3 years? How can we know if you don't really fall into other groups, eg

The Idiots - The fuddyduddies who provide even greater comedy than the Ignorants.

or

The fanatics - very similar to the ethnicists, every thread degenerates into a religious fisticuff. A lot of these people I personally find irritating

The Ignorants - These people provide the comedy I alluded to ealier, some of them believe that grammar equals intelligence and when backed to corner will resort to insults.

OMO IBO:
Since when did the number of post or contribution become a barometer to measure anyone's credibility?
Threadstarter has stated her opinion based on what she has noticed.

CAlling her names is just silly.

Mind your business

naijababe:
@ OMO_IBO
I leave naming names to u. People have differing opinions an ignorant maybe an idiot or realist to someone else.
@ Beaf
Cool down now, are we hurling insults already?

You come across as conceited and big headed. The all knowing type, without any contribution to show, yet all mouth.
When someone who doesn't contribute two pence decides that they have become the judge of who is the most ignorant, that person is causing problems for themselves.
