PoliticsRe: Uniting Igbos And Yorubas: Breaking The Cycle Of Discord On Nairaland And Beyond by Debater(op): 5:24am On Jun 19, 2023
Absuchat:
Still on still.... Nothing will change
My bro, I've said this on and on, that's a child's mentality.

Let me take a moment to share with you how the American people managed to come together even after experiencing a deep division during the Civil War. It's a testament to the resilience and spirit of unity that will eventually define our nation.

The American Civil War, which took place from 1861 to 1865, made the Northern states to be against the Southern states over various issues, primarily centered around slavery. It was a conflict that tore families apart and divided the country along ideological and regional lines. However, once the war concluded, the process of healing and reconciliation began.

One crucial factor that helped bring Americans back together was the commitment to rebuilding and reunifying the nation. Leaders such as President Abraham Lincoln played a vital role in fostering a sense of unity and emphasizing the shared values and goals that united Americans. Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, delivered in 1863, called for a "new birth of freedom" and emphasized the importance of a united nation.

Additionally, efforts were made to address the underlying causes of the division. The Reconstruction era that followed the war aimed to rebuild the Southern states and address the injustices of slavery. This period, while challenging and marked by social and political conflicts, helped pave the way for progress and eventual reconciliation.

Over time, Americans began to rebuild trust and foster a sense of national identity. Economic development, the expansion of railroads, and the westward movement played a significant role in bringing different regions together and promoting a shared vision of progress and prosperity.

While challenges and divisions have continued to emerge throughout our history, Nigeria will consistently demonstrate its ability to overcome them. The values that bind us as a nation, along with a commitment to dialogue, compromise, and understanding, have allowed Nigerians to rise above their differences and work towards a more perfect union.

So, my friend, even though we faced a painful division during our own Nigerian Civil War, the Nigerian people ultimately will be united once again. It serves as a reminder of our capacity to heal, reconcile, and move forward, guided by the principles that define us.

Stop this please, I beg
The Yorubas are not generally like that.
Many of them are, sadly, and that's just the problem
But please, don't mention "his people"
My Boss is Yoruba
My secretary is Yoruba, my office cleaner, Yoruba
Though my workplace is usually dominated by Igbos, yet we don't have any issues with our boss.
That man treats us like his children.
And, sef, I don't have any issues with my secretary

Bross, that's the perfect Nigeria
We will get there one day, whether anybody likes it or not.

You and your people are the ones that needs to change their attitude most especially your propaganda way of getting want you want. Igbo don't have any problem with people around them, rather they focus more on things that brings comfort to them and are ready to make friends with other tribes, the youth copers posted to south east will testify to this, they are not the type that treat their visitors bad, rather their hospitality is a unique one, unlike some people or tribe that endangered their visitors. Imagine people that killed 21 youths copers just because of an election of 4years position. Whenever I remember the 2011 election that lead to the killing of 21 copers from the south in the north, I feel bad for this country.

PoliticsUniting Igbos And Yorubas: Breaking The Cycle Of Discord On Nairaland And Beyond by Debater(op): 2:28am On Jun 19, 2023
Dear Nairalanders,

In the vibrant online community of Nairaland and across Nigeria, the Igbos and Yorubas often find themselves locked in heated debates and disagreements. This article delves into the reasons behind this discord, offers insights into bridging the gap, and explores the potential for unity in a language that resonates with the layman.

The Power of Diversity
Nigeria, our great nation, is a tapestry of diverse cultures and ethnicities. The Igbos and Yorubas represent two vibrant threads in this beautiful fabric, each with their unique customs and traditions. Yet, it is this diversity that should enrich us, not divide us.

Historical Tensions
Our history carries scars that sometimes fuel misunderstandings between the Igbos and Yorubas. But let us not be trapped in the past. Instead, let us embrace the present and shape a future where unity prevails.

The Nairaland Arena
Nairaland, our virtual meeting place, can be a battleground of ideas and opinions. It is here that conflicts arise, where some voices sow discord. Take APCHaram, for instance. His offensive comments against the Igbo tribe stoke the flames of division. But we must remember: APCHaram is an individual, not the embodiment of an entire ethnic group.

Breaking Stereotypes
Stereotypes often hold us back from embracing our shared humanity. Let us challenge these stereotypes head-on, for they limit our understanding of one another. Don't let the actions of a few overshadow the diversity and beauty within the Igbos and Yorubas.

Embracing Our Shared Struggles
Real-life stories can bridge the gap between us. Remember the Igbo and Yoruba entrepreneurs collaborating on business ventures, defying the odds? They remind us that our destinies are intertwined, that we thrive when we work together.

The Power of Dialogue
Dialogue is the key that unlocks understanding. Engage in conversations that foster empathy and respect. Seek to understand, rather than to win. Let your words be bridges, connecting hearts and minds.

Embracing Our Unity
Our strength lies in unity, not in division. As Nigerians, we must reject the notion that the Igbos and Yorubas are always at odds. Look beyond the online clashes and recognize the countless moments of unity that define our shared existence.

Reporting for Change
Let us stand against hate speech, regardless of the ethnic group involved. When we report offensive behavior, we contribute to the creation of a healthier online space for all. It is a collective responsibility.


My Conclusion
In the realm of Nairaland and across Nigeria, the Igbos and Yorubas need not be eternally at loggerheads. By embracing our diversity, challenging stereotypes, engaging in dialogue, and celebrating our shared struggles, we can forge a path towards unity. Let us be the generation that breaks the cycle of discord, that creates a Nigeria where our diversity is our strength, and where the Igbos and Yorubas walk hand in hand towards a brighter future.
As I don report APCHaram, e come lead to hin ban, e show say our reporting na im make sense. E show say we fit make change for Nairaland. Na our collective responsibility to dey report any person wey dey spread hate speech or violate ethnic and tribal rules, whether na Igbo, Yoruba, or any other tribe. We go fit create safe and better environment for everybody for inside Nairaland.

So make una join me hand-in-hand, make we dey report any behavior wey no dey right. Make we show say we no go tolerate hate speech or divisive actions. As we work together, we go fit build one Nairaland wey dey celebrate unity, respect, and inclusivity.


Chukwu gozie Naijiria

4. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has detained the Receiver Manager appointed by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria for Arik Nigeria Limited, Mr Kamilu Omokide, over alleged misappropriation and diversion of about N120bn.

It is our collective responsibility to promote a society where respect, understanding, and unity prevail over divisiveness. Let us continue to work together to create a more inclusive and harmonious environment both online and offline.








Dear Nairaland Moderators, especially Seun Osewa,

I kindly implore you to move the topic thread highlighting APCHaram's violations of ethnic and tribal rules, along with their hate speech against the Igbo tribe, to the front page of Nairaland. By doing so, we can raise awareness, foster dialogue, and promote a community united against hate speech. Your support in prioritizing this issue will send a powerful message about Nairaland's commitment to inclusivity and respect. Together, let us create a platform where diversity is celebrated, and divisive behavior is firmly condemned.

Sincerely,
@Debater🙏🙂😢

In a world where unity and understanding are essential, hate speech and derogatory comments aimed at any ethnic group can have severe consequences. It is disheartening to witness individuals like APCHaram, who choose to engage in offensive behavior and incite hatred against the Igbo tribe. In this article, we shed light on the harmful actions of APCHaram, highlighting the need for a united front against such divisive speech.



The Rise of APCHaram:

APCHaram's persistent violation of ethnic and tribal rules by consistently insulting and inciting hate speech against the Igbo tribe has garnered attention within the online community. Despite the potential consequences, this user continues to sow the seeds of discord, undermining the foundations of mutual respect and understanding.



Inciting Hate Speech:

A closer look at the comments made by APCHaram reveals a disturbing trend of inflammatory rhetoric aimed at the Igbo tribe. These derogatory remarks not only perpetuate negative stereotypes but also create an environment of hostility, ultimately hindering peaceful coexistence among diverse Nigerian communities.



Consequences of Hate Speech:

Hate speech, whether online or offline, has wide-ranging consequences that affect both individuals and society as a whole. It can fuel interethnic tension, perpetuate discrimination, and even incite violence. By shedding light on APCHaram's actions, we hope to raise awareness about the destructive power of hate speech and the urgent need to address it.



The Importance of Countering Hate Speech:

As responsible members of the online community, it is crucial to stand against hate speech and protect the values of unity and respect. By exposing and condemning individuals like APCHaram, we send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated. It is through collective action that we can build a society that celebrates diversity and promotes understanding.



Conclusion:

APCHaram's persistent insults and hate speech against the Igbo tribe highlight the urgent need to address and counter such behavior. By exposing these actions and condemning them, we take a significant step towards fostering a more inclusive and harmonious society. It is our collective responsibility to promote understanding, respect, and unity, ultimately building a Nigeria where diversity is celebrated and hate speech has no place.


"I will be providing screenshot evidence below this post to substantiate the claims made against APCHaram and showcase the extent of their offensive comments. It is important to shed light on these violations in order to foster accountability and promote a more inclusive online environment. Please review the evidence below and join the conversation in condemning hate speech and promoting unity."

PoliticsJapa: Reps Vote Against Anti — Migration Motion by Debater(op): 1:18am On Jun 16, 2023
The House of Representatives, on Thursday, unanimously voted against a motion seeking to make the Federal Government address the issues causing Nigerian professionals to migrate to other countries en masse, in search of greener pastures.

A new member of the House, Philip Agbese, had moved a motion titled ‘Need to Declare Emigration of Young Nigerians Abroad A.K.A Japa Syndrome a National Emergency,’ urging the government to “convene a national summit with key stakeholders to effectively address the ‘Japa Syndrome.’


The phenomenon is popularly known as ‘Japa,’ a Yoruba word that simply means to go away from a problem or trouble.

Agbese also prayed the House to “declare a state of Emergency on the factors that predispose young Nigerians to give up on Nigeria in preference for other nations.”

The lawmaker cited statistics from the Nigerian Economic Summit, which says a growing number of young Nigerians are relocating abroad. He also said recent reports by the African Polling Institute indicate that 69 per cent of young people would opt to relocate abroad if given the chance or if the opportunity presents itself.

He added that there is a 40 per cent increase in the number of young Nigerians leaving the nation, compared to the number captured in 2019, as the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs reported that international emigration from Nigeria in 2020 total 1.7million, which is a substantial increase from 990,000 in 2010.

Agbese said, “The House is concerned that the growing statistics of young Nigerians leaving Nigeria and securing permanent residence in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada portends a grave danger for our nation in many ways from economic to intellectual and social aspects.

“The House is also concerned that the Nigerian population is made of two-thirds of persons under the age of 30 and a good number of these persons are already afflicted with what today is acceptably referred to as the ‘Japa Syndrome,’ as estimates indicate a staggering tens of thousands have relocated to the USA, Canada, South Africa and, even, Gambia over the last two years;

“The House is worried that the eagerness to migrate to countries that offer hope seems to have a compelling influence. The House is also worried that those leaving Nigeria are not just the poor but middle class who possess skills/workforce, including bankers, lecturers, health care practitioners, doctors, nurses, and trained manpower, all of whom were trained in Nigeria and emigrating at a time when their services are needed to build a strong and vibrant economy in Nigeria.

“The House is disturbed that if this scenario continues with our able minds, brains and skilled personnel leaving, Nigeria may fall into a grave crisis in our critical sectors from education to healthcare, thereby making a bad situation worse.”

The lawmaker pointed out that the young population remains one of our greatest assets. “Though the prospects of a growing Nigerians in the Diaspora could be beneficial in a way, it should not be at the expense of our needed manpower,” he added, stressing that it bothers on national pride “when our young bright minds leave the country in droves, conveying an impression that ‘Nigeria is a sinking ship that everyone is rushing to get out of.’”

Agbese also stated that life-changing decisions, whether to stay in one’s country or emigrate, should not be anchored on challenges ranging from insecurity to poor health sector, poor educational system and poor economy, among others.

However, after a ranking member of the House, Dennis Idahosa, seconded the motion, another ranking member, Sada Soli, raised a constitutional point of order to say that the motion would infringe on the fundamental rights of Nigerians if adopted by the chamber.

Soli said, “Chapter 4 of the Constitution is talking about the fundamental rights; and go to Section 35 talking about the personal liberty of an individual. This motion, as it is, looks nationalistic but it contravenes the provisions of the Constitution.

“It is the liberty of a Nigerian if he is qualified and he is normal, and he has all the granted right of movement (to) anywhere he wants. It is the right of a Nigerian if he has the right qualifications, to go anywhere to source for a living. The Constitution of Nigeria allows even dual citizenship, talk less of moving somewhere to earn a living. If we allow this motion on this floor, it contravenes the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Opposing Soli, another ranking member of the House, Ahmad Jaha, argued that the motion was more about the factors causing mass exodus from Nigeria and not a restriction of exit from the country. He urged the lawmakers to “be mindful of the prayers of the motion before killing it.”

Jaha partly said, “The mover of the motion is not praying that everybody should be stopped from going abroad. We should take this into consideration. But it is advising because we have to tell each other the truth; the factors enumerated, which are the actual factors or reasons behind people leaving this country to seek greener pastures somewhere (else).

“What he is trying to say in a nutshell is that the international community has identified the reasons why Nigerians are compelled to go outside the country. What he is saying now is ‘let there be a national summit so that all these factors will be given priority, so that at the end of the day Nigerians will be discouraged from going abroad. So, as far as I am concerned, this motion is apt and it should be considered.”

The immediate past Deputy Speaker of the House, Ahmed Wase, said “As good as the motion may be, first the fundamental issue raised in the Constitution; no law, including our motions and bills…if you go to Section 1(3) of the Constitution, it says any law that is inconsistent with the Constitution to the extent of that inconsistency is best null and void. So, as far as I am concerned, we have to rule on the point of order (raised by Soli) before we can proceed, otherwise, we will be contributing to the contravention of our own constitution.”

When the Speaker eventually put adoption of the motion to voice vote, the lawmakers unanimously voted against it.

Civil servants in Benue will soon heave a sigh of relief, as Gov. Hyacinth Alia has assured them of payment of salaries by 25th of every month, beginning from June.
Alia gave the assurance during his Democracy Day broadcast on Monday in Makurdi.

“Indeed, as from 25th of this month, civil servants should start expecting alerts of their payments.

“Good people of Benue, we are aware of your sufferings and hardships, especially civil servants and retirees, due to non-payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities.

“We call for your patience and understanding, as we are working hard to address these problems,” Alia said.

He also assured non-indigenes residing in the state that his government was not only for Benue indigenes, saying that all legitimate residents were considered as Benue people and would always be treated fairly and with respect and decorum.

He stated that the hard decisions his government had taken so far were for the common good, stressing that there was no room for witch hunting in his government.

“We will not shy away from taking those decisions that may look harsh but have become the foundations on which the peaceful and prosperous Benue of our dreams will be built.

“I call on our people not to despair but to keep hope alive, because a new Benue is possible, not through any other means but with all hands being on deck,” he said.

PoliticsRe: May Your Path Be Filled With Thorns, Horrors Of Night – FFK Curses Emefiele by Debater(m):
In response to the recent events involving Godwin Emefiele and Femi Fani-Kayode, it is important for me to provide a balanced and very neutral perspective on their actions and acknowledge both their achievements and criticisms. While some of una go dey express dissatisfaction with Emefiele's monetary policies and the impact they had on the economy, e dey important say una recognize his efforts in implementing reforms and his contribution to the financial sector.
Emefiele's suspension as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria indicates that investigations are underway regarding the financial sector's reforms. This move by the President demonstrates the commitment to accountability and transparency in governance. It is important for the investigation to proceed independently and thoroughly to ensure a fair and just conclusion (That doesn't still mean I support PBAT. Just trying to be very neutral).
On the other hand, Femi Fani-Kayode's curses and mocking remarks directed at Emefiele may be seen as an inappropriate response. He doesn't know that is essential to maintain respect and decency when discussing public figures and their actions, regardless of personal disagreements or criticisms, or what?
Regarding Emefiele's arrest and potential detention, una suppose know that individuals holding high-ranking positions often receive different treatment within the legal system due to their influence and access to resources (Because someone above me mentioned "kirikiri or kuje"wink. This reality raises questions about the fairness and equality of the justice system, where the wealthy and powerful sometimes face different consequences than the average citizen.
In conclusion, while criticizing the actions of both Godwin Emefiele and Femi Fani-Kayode, make una dey remember the positive aspects of Emefiele's tenure, such as his contribution to the financial sector. Let us strive for a society where justice is blind and all individuals, regardless of their position, are held accountable for their actions.

The immediate former Minister for Women Affairs and Social Development, Pauline Tallen, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, over allegations of money laundering.

Sources privy to the development confirmed to our correspondent that Tallen was quizzed by operatives of the EFCC at its Zonal Headquarters, in Wuse, Abuja.

Though details of the allegations against the ex-minister were sketchy, a source familiar with the case told The PUNCH that it bordered on corrupt enrichment to the tune of N2billion
“The ex-mnister arrived at our Abuja Zonal Command (not the headquarters), on invitation, at about 12 pm, but she’s still being grilled by investigators of the commission as at 8:30 pm.

“She’s being investigated for alleged misappropriation of funds and corrupt enrichment to the tune of N2billion, and part of the money was allegedly diverted from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project.”
Spokesperson for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached as of press time.
