Tribalism, racism, religion, politics are the main problem of this world.

I use religion experience in my family as an analogy. Ode

Oloribu ni e. We are talking of ethnicity here

codemaniacs:
forefathers never inter-married at a point in time

even today one of the major reasons there are different tribes in SW is because of the civil war which caused migration out of the eastern region..

How I know they never inter-married is it was forbidden to inter-marry until the wh:ytes came and turned ethnic groups against each other...

You get brain egbon

tintingz:
Are Yorubas the only people living in Lagos?

Your delusion is alarming.

How can your compare Lagos to america?

Look into the mirror and you'd see the prime fool on this thread. Op believes in intra tribal marriage, fine, even though his reason do not validate his position. Others believe the opposite. Fair enough-to each his own. So why call people who believe otherwise fools?

He is right . intertribal maraiges does not reduce intertribal war

tintingz:
So what do you call Lagos? Are there no people of another tribe in Lagos and all over Nigeria for example?

Isn't it apply to race?

Interracial, intertribal are they not the same in definition?

You get problem for head. Are Yoruba people not indigenes of lagos?

Lols! Awa niyen oo. We need sensible Yorubas like you

tintingz:
Shut up, do you think your forefathers didn't inter-marry with another tribe at a point in time?

So you believe there can't be divergent in your family or generations?, how are you reasoning irrationally?

My father never thought his first born will marry a Christian because he taught us well, he is a cleric, but today my elder brother his married to a Christian lady, my father never taught I will be irreligious and today I don't believe in any fûcking religion.

Sometime things don't work out the way one expected, because non of your family hasn't diverge doesn't mean it can't happen.

I should shut my mouth because of what? Ode oshi! We are talking of ethnicity here not one imported religion .

The world doesn't fûcking care about anybody's life, how you live, you're free to choose the way you wanna live, keep wallowing in your delusion.

Did the world fûcking care about Mark Zuckerberg and his chinese wife?

Check out Obama, didn't he use dual identity to win his election?

We are talking if indigenous continent here not country of migrants

OrdercityWeb:
End of discussion bro. They will call us racists now

Let them continue revelling in their idealism and utopia called "unity of the country".

Don't mind them.
'One nigeria' has gotten into their head. Your ethnicity matter most not one British experiment called Nigeria.
We are naturally not united.

What if your child did or are you a demigod are you Mr perfect are you a dictator?

Like I said before, he cannot. I have not seen or heard anybody in my family do that. We are all ethnically Yoruba. Raise your kids well.

MrBrownJay1:
the dude's assertions are baseless and makes absolutely NO damn sense....but then again, there are many people like him in Africa.
to each their own misery!

Yeah! People like me. Say no to inter tribal marriage.
It is for the confused

OrdercityWeb:
My dear God will bless you!
To all those shouting in the above comments don't comman read this one oo.
...
I know they will say it is not restricted to intertribal marriages, that even same tribe marriages have issues but you and i know that CULTURAL DIFFERENCE is a really big factor in problems of intertribal marriages.

O kaare omo iya

So you be omoluabi? You get brain.

tintingz:
So if your child marries from another tribe, will you kill him/her?

The way some people reason ehn.

My child will never try that. They will be raised well.
His tribe matters most.

tintingz:
If you read my posts you will see where i said anybody is free to intermarry or not, anybody is free to practice any culture, religion, it is non of anybody business.

Where are in 21 century, we have evolve from many things but it is sad some people mentality still stuck to the ancient universe.

Marry from your tribe to preserve your culture and identity. The world will only respect if you do.
What you wrote is bullshiit

Amberon11:
On the contrary, only fools think inter-tribal marriage is wrong.

Marry from your tribe so your children will appreciate their culture. I have seen many children born from intertribal marriages that are either here or their. Most even tend to love their mother's side more.
If you are a man, my advise is for you to marry someone from your tribe.
Only fools marry people outside their tribe

OrdercityWeb:
Please spare me! So you can't see those examples are exceptions. Don't you know there would always be exceptions.
Besides do you know how long they've stayed in America. They are virtually Americans now.
And it has nothing to do with being immigrants, Chinese and asian immigrants whenever they go are known to always keep their culture. That is why you have chinese villages, resturants and many more.
How many 'original' Chinese can you say the same of? Or Korean? It's rare. The examples you would find are those whose ancestors were immigrants and their offspring have integrated with the existing culture which is rare anyway.


You're not being factual and realistic, you're talking about identity? What identity do offspring of intermarriages claim?
You and I know from the many of such marriages that we know are mostly culturally neutral. The kids are neither here nor there. Infact in most of these homes they only speak English.


It is hard? What are you saying? The example i gave in the OP didn't you see that?
How does conquering tribalism have to do with intermarrying. You don't have to intermarry to be untribalistic. Many of these people you're talking about hold inner biases and prejudices against their tribes and sometimes pass it to their kids. So your point here is subjective.


That's not entirely true. I have said it before "Discouraging intertribal marriage has nothing to do with being tribalistic. Tribalism is a mindset and you don't have to intermarry to be unbiased. You just have to reason.


Please don't even go this direction. You're off the mark and have completely digressed. If you can't differentiate between Values and Technology then?


Culture evolves but value does not. Identity does not.
It's just like saying we all going to die but engaging in life threatening situations will hasten ones death. That's what intertribal marriage does.
All the problems you mentioned there is a problem of Western civilization.

@bolded
You are very right

[[s]quote author=menxer post=59649066]
I disagree, our cultural values changes as we do.
Take any cultural value and see how far back you can trace it without it changing.

For instance, There was a time our cultural value of wealth was built on the idea that you must be a farmer with great physical strength and ability to do farm work.
Has the cultural value of creating wealth by farming diminished in any way?
No.
Has method of farming remained the same?

Identity.
If you say you are Yoruba, for instance, how far back can you trace that identity?[/quote][/s]

Op you are right. I do not support inter-tribal marraige. People who do this do not respect their culture. Marry your tribe to preserve your culture, history, and tradition. Children born from inter-tribal marriages always get confused when they grow up.
Only fools marry people outside their tribe.

tintingz:
The world is evolving and some ignorant, archaic people are still wallowing whether inter-tribal marriage should be encourage. SMH

How does marrying from your tribe, race add to economy or our daily life or make things better? and to think your culture will fade off, this is fallacy, your culture will only fade off if you don't teach your children your culture.

I will encourage inter-tribal marraige anytime, anywhere, it creates harmony between tribes, race than hatred, it promote culture. I won't promote tribalism supremacy like our ignorant archaic fathers did, the world has evolve from that mentality and people should evolve from this backward mentality.

Bullshiit! How does marrying someone from another tribe contribute to your life? What you wrote is bullshiit

Igbos are leading in ICT in Nigeria

https://guardian.ng/news/apple-buys-a-nigerian-owned-ict-firm-for-1-billion/

Apple buys a Nigerian-owned ICT firm for $1 billion

UNITED States of America’s most celebrated brand, Apple, has bought Nigeria’s Chinedu Echeruo’s HopStop.com. According to The Wall Street Journal’s publication, AllThingsDigital, it informed that though the term of the deal has not been disclosed officially, but HopStop has been compared to Israel’s Waze, which was recently acquired by Google for $1 billion.

Founded in 2005, HopStop.com makes mobile applications for both iOS and Android that covers over 300 cities and that helps people get directions or find nearby subway stations and bus stops.

Echeruo, formerly an analyst at investment banks and hedge funds, who founded HopStop, is now chairman of the Board for the app firm.

The move, according to market intelligence, is seen as Apple’s plan to bolster its map offering especially given Google’s recent acquisition of Waze.

A serial entrepreneur, Echeruo, grew up in Eastern Nigeria and attended Kings College, Lagos.

He attended Syracuse University and the Harvard Business School in the United States and founded HopStop.com after working for several years in the Mergers and Acquisitions and Leveraged Finance groups of J.P Morgan Chase where he was involved in a broad range of M&A, financing and private equity transactions.

He also worked at AM Investment Partners, a $500 million volatility-driven convertible bond arbitrage hedge fund.

He founded and raised nearly $8 million for his two U.S. based Internet companies: Hopstop.com and Tripology.com. Tripology.com was acquired in 2010 by American travel and navigation information company, Rand McNally.

True to form, Echeruo is working on yet another venture but this time, focused on small businesses in Africa. According to him, “there is no reason why every entrepreneur should have to reinvent the wheel every single time in all the countries in Africa.

My idea is to essentially have one place where a budding entrepreneur can access a template for starting a business, and then customise it to suit their own situation; essentially, a business-in-a-box. Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, online services, and personal computers.

Its best-known hardware products are the Mac line of computers, the iPod media player, the iPhone smartphone, the iPad tablet computer, and the Apple Watch smartwatch. Its online services include iCloud, the iTunes Store, and the App Store.

Apple’s consumer software includes the OS X and iOS operating systems, the iTunes media browser, the Safari web browser, and the iLife and iWork creativity and productivity suites.

Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne on April 1, 1976, to develop and sell personal computers.

It was incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc. on January 3, 1977, and was renamed as Apple Inc. on January 9, 2007, to reflect its shifted focus towards consumer electronics. Apple joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average on March 19, 2015.

Apple is the world’s second-largest information technology company by revenue after Samsung Electronics, world’s largest technology company by Total Assets and the world’s third-largest mobile phone maker.

On November 25, 2014, in addition to being the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalisation, Apple became the first U.S. company to be valued at over $700 billion.

Apple did not by hotstop for 1 billion dollars. I dont know why you must lie. Apple never said they did

Shakingdbumbum:
Igbos are not complaining but igbos are uniting their people and need to tell them the truth to kill your divide and rule tactics.. its a pity u called them minority. the Ijaw , urhobo and ibibio population is more than fulani that are quick to attach themselves to the conquered hausas.

You have not aswered my. The urhobos, Ijaws, benins are not complaining. Why must you force them to be with you?

hollywater:
I can see Afonjas m , running away from the question. Trying to please themselves with comment like "who cares".

Actually, no one cares if you leave. You are the ones deluding yourselves that people are stopping you. Go and meet your leaders

Shakingdbumbum:
Please study your cardinal point very well. That is why Nigeria school is a proper waste of time. I don't even want to call any group minority but oh yes! there are other tribes surrounding igbos like you get in the north and a good student of geography knows that they are all South eastern part of Nigeria but since they have allowed themselves to be used for proper sucking then they agreed to answer SS. All those stuff are pure political game by Britain and Nigeria. then they will all shout in unity. 'Igbos are the problem of Nigeria' but this generation of Igbos will not tolerate such nonsense names. we will match each group word for word. fire for fire. maybe they will look for another people to brainwash and blame.

But i have not seen any minority tribe complain. Why only you Igbos?

Shakingdbumbum:
Some areas will really be poor as paupers when igbos leave. Biafra on my mind.

Leave first let us see

Might not be up to $1.5b per day
But they sure as hell might reach there super quick at the rate at which they re going

Last time I went to computer village to see my uncle in his shop, he made sales of 1.5m in less than 30 mins

And his shop is not even as big as my toilet....talk of slot and d rest

1.5 million in less than 30 mins? What does he sell?
You Igbos are born with lies!

Lloydfolarin:
Who are you to determine where they should be or not?

They have always maintained that they want their own country without Igbos?

It's only Biafra forcing themselves on the people who have rejected Biafra offer on several occasions.

They have made it public and private but parasitic Biafra refused to listen

Even as individual, if i have been rejected that much, i ll be ashamed to associate myself with such people but Igbos ll never listen until disgraced.

Biafra failed in 60s cos of your forced marriage with people who rejected you openly and publicly.

Even Yorubas who could have forced or attached themselves with mid-west region are not talking about that. Yorubas only focused on their pure Yoruba region. That shows that they could run their country without any help from anyone.

Baba, i am Yoruba

Shakingdbumbum:
The earlier u accept the truth, the better for you. There is nothing like SS in geographical cardinal points. it was created by Nigeria to suck u dry and empty. igbos will identify themselves as igbos when Biafra comes.

There is SS geopolitical zone. There are monority tribes who are indigenes there. Is it right to call them Igbos?

EmekaBlue:
lol..@ igbo land landlocked,bro apart from lagos....is there any other beach in the southwest,its also landlocked, and plz note river niger has route to the atlantic ocean and can recieve ships but ofc no provision for it to come by that route to anchor and offload.

Ondo and Ogun states have access to sea.
Yeah, Igbo land is land locked

geronimoedeh1:
Igbos doing Yorubas proud....
Thats why they convulse at the mention of Biafra..If Igbos leave the west today,it will crumble like the historical kingdom of Rome.

Leave first and let us see
