FamilyRe: Why Do Kids Become Bitter Towards Separated Parents? by DonJuan13: 2:52pm On Sep 25, 2021
[quote author=CXLVII post=106159695]The question should be, do you remain in a toxic marriage because of the kids or move on?

Deep question. I've asked myself this time and time again and have come to conclude that no price is too much to pay for the wellbeing of one's offsprings. I would remain and try to make it better as long as my life is not under any kind of threat. That being said, 2+2 is not always four as I've come to realize in this woke age.

But do you believe in patriotism to one's country? Am not against friendships and I like that you're loyal to your family (it's the most important actually) but if you happen to be a politician are you saying that your friendship/relationship with people would affect your policies plus if you don't care for tribe or country why are you interested in 1 nigeria?
The tribe I care for is the Nigerian tribe. It doesn't matter where you come from, we are intertwined already. Been together for so long. All im interested in is peace and prosperity for all tribes, a Nigeria where the North can rival the best Arab nations, where the East can rub shoulders with industrial nations like China, and the South can be like America. Our uniqueness and diversity can be harnessed. I'm not a mainstream politician but we are all political animals.

It's funny when people use their personal relationships with people from other tribes to equate how political relationships should pan out, this is a flawed and lazy way of thinking. I have Ghanaian friends and friends from Benin republic but it doesn't mean I want to share a country with them or I would side with their country in the event of a war between our countries. Most people especially in the south west have failed to understand and separate personal friendships and relationships from loyalty to one's tribe and region. It's purely a sentimental and emotional way of looking at things people with such mindsets shouldn't be allowed close to the corridors of power. Op's argument and analogy is really flawed and quite irritating.
Make love, not war. Didn't mean to offend you but like I said in my post, it's a war of the rich against the poor and it has always been, political inclinations don't matter to the elite (a la FFK). I owe my loyalty to no one but myself and my family. Tribe? Naaah. The 2 people I can truly call loyal friends; one is form the north and the other from the east and I would do anything within my power for them just like I know they would do for me.

Gani Fawenhinmi.

It's not about the money or influence for those dumbos placing Aliko Dangote on the list
From a national point of view, this list is lopsided. It implies that there are no northerners that measure up to the above listed. However, even if there was, I would pick Baba 70 over all of them, with due respect to Gani and the prof.

DonJuan13, hope you have now had enough? See the raw, crude and indoctrinated hate emanating from someone you are being civil to.

Can you not tell this is something that is part of her being or essence and not a response to anything any Yoruba has done?

For the mere fact you are keeping it civil, she should be obligated to do likewise. Yet her deeply indoctrinated hatred of Yorubas means she slid back to default mode of attacking and hating on all Yorubas including you. Bear in mind this is a lady OOO.

I would rather fins a way to keep those who hate me for no reason faf away from me than grying to waste my enjoymenf of life trying to peove that "love conquers all".

That is not the case with Nigeria and that is why I said from the start we are better off managing our differences rather than pretending they don't exist.
Totally understand, the bigotry is deeply entrenched in the moral psyche of the majority. One can only try. On to the next topic I guess.

We are better of in Pushing for our destiny differently,I know this your topic is just to beg for unity which will never come,not as if you people are ready for justice and equity,but because it favours you people.
You can't keep doing same thing over and over again and expect different results.

They say a fool at forty is a fool forever,what then is a fool at 60 plus.
It's this 'you people' rhetoric that seems to be the problem, nobody is begging anybody, and I will not descend into a tribal oriented discourse with you. Don't preach peace, keep up with the hate and bitterness that you inherited, I for one don't see along tribal lines. Do you. It's all good.

Preaching love is different from acting on that.



I'm not a muslim.
I've got nothing but love for all and you especially. Perhaps I can get you to see different. Your input determines the output. Please teach love to the younger generation. What we need is a complete overhaul of our perception of each other. We must first tolerate and accept our differences. There is so much strength in our diversity. I refuse to judge anyone based on tribe or religion. "Ti oju ba farabale aari imu". ( Loosely means if the eyes wants to see the nose, e go calm down.)

Oga you can only deceive those that have not been to yoruba land or been around you guys.



We that witness yorubas hatred first hand knows better.


I used to be naive until i witness it.


The hatred a typical yoruba man have for Igbos is legendary,but of course they will try to pretend until when it's time to exhibit it.
Nobody is deceiving anybody, for instance, regardless of your glaring hate and dislike of Yorubas, you cannot tell me that you have not met a good Yoruba person. It all depends on the individual. Spread love not hate, I want to jump the gun and assume you're a Christian (forgive me if you're not) and ask you one question WWJD?

Bro, I hear you and I used to reason as you do but I have come to realize that ethnocentric hate and distrust of others is a way of life for most Nigerians. Some more than others.

My opinion is that Yorubas must begin to be more pragmatic and cynical in our dealings with others.

Otherwise we will lose out to those who will use our liberal and accomodating mien to feather their callous and ethnocentric nests in our midst whereas what they get from us they can never give in return.

The difference between Yoruba and Igbo adults is real. We should respect that and not try to force some unity tbat will never be.

Igbos, for example, are never happy unless they are subjugating or lording it over others. They are a naturally aggressive people who love all around them to be submissive and docile so they can take advantage of them.

They can never get that from Yorubas. Never. So they will naturally always fight us. The whole "one Nigeria" thing needs a rethink.

We can coexist but must be given the free hand to create societies that reflects our diference not hide them or, at worst, pretend theu dont exist with some "one Nigeria" kumbaya sh1t.
We have always coexisted, at least that's how I see it from where I stand. All this hate and mistrust is mainly because we have refused to heal the wounds of the 'civil war' (I read up on that and it seems more like a blockade of the eastern region than an all out civil strife). The political elite don't see any of these divisions when they are busy sharing our commonwealth.

Lol. OP, you can see the 'difference' some of us are talking about. This is supposedly a woman as well peddling hate when we know women are supposed to be nurturing and healing souls of society.

Someone who does not know you already attacks you as having sinister motives because you are Yoruba and Moslem.

She quickly goes on the defensive to claim you will inculcate your child into hating Igbos yet we know those famous universally for indoctrinating their kids, even from the womb, into blind hatred of others especially after Igbos civil war loss.

Goodluck to you bro if you're truly Yoruba and this naive. . Welcome to NL.
I'm as Yoruba as they come. Not so naive, ideological to a fault maybe. She truly left me speechless. Smh.

The truth is i dey pity Ebube and his father that allowed him to be entering such camp.
If only they know that Abdulrahman parent are doing what yorubas does,which is teaching their kids to hate omo ibo.

Tomorrow the worst enemy of Ebube will be Abdulrahman when Abdulrahman will join his northern brothers to conspire against him,Tomorrow Abdulrahman will be ready to starve three million kids from tribe of Ebube,stealing their money in banks.

Tomorrow Abdulrahman's father will be the one to threaten to throw Ebube and his family into lagoon.



Ebube i pity for you.

Ebube i dey cry for you

Ebube you need help now before is too late.
I just can't respond to this. I'm sorry. smiley You've succeeded in reinforcing the futility of trying to have an intelligent discourse on this platform.

"Let the kids have fun for now. The world is a cruel place so enjoy the innocence of your kids but don't try and play peacemaker between Yorubas and Igbos based on little children interacting .We are polar opposites."

Do we have to be? Our problems in this country are not so unique. What's unique is our composition. Lets stop the hate. It's a class war that has been heavily camouflaged to resemble what we have on ground presently. I ain't trying to make no peace but I refuse to interact with my fellow Nigerians based on tribe but rather try to gauge the character of every individual I meet to determine my relations with them and that's what I plan to teach my kids. If we can look beyond this bigotry, hate, religious affiliations and tribalism, perhaps we can write a new story for the next generation of NIGERIANS.

There is a solution which had not yet been tried and eventually we would have [b]Nzeogwu's Best and Nzeogwu's second best, There is no easier way to get Nigeria to work than the way it is working, the federal Republic system is better for minorities and in due time majority groups will be able to pick up themselves.

Nigeria can not divide in the sense that most people think and I agree with you that we need to heal, I had spoken every opportunity I got on the healing, not here on nairaland though becuase until lately I used to be quite aggressive until I figured out most people who destroyed this country had no intention to destroy it, they all at some point believed they were offering a genuine solution so I had become humble and most times now I ask myself what proof do I have that my solution is not another disaster.
If by Allah's grace we get to meet sometime, you will need to educate me more on the italics. It's been a pleasure, I think I'm going to enjoy this nairaland experience, been a guest for years and even tried membership a couple of times. Here to stay now and you've gained one more follower.

Appreciate your time bro, my point is the hate. We are already interwoven.
we've been lumped together for so long. I agree that our cultural differences cannot be swept under the carpet. Let's work with the model we have and build on it. It's all we got. The alternative doesn't look good and can only lead to more suffering.

I will try to keep this short. I am inspired to write this piece by the unexpected and unexplainable bond between my 10 year old south western moslem son and my neighbor's 3 year old south-eastern Christian son. Although many more examples abound of the intertwining of the Yoruba and Igbo race (I have loads of close friends across Nigeria), I have chosen this unique reference due to the age grade of the kids involved. Ebube loves to spend time in my house playing with my two sons although he is closer to the older one. I see the joy in his eyes when he spots Abdulrahman, and no one has been able to explain their closeness. He's just started preschool and the boys have been helping him with homework. Inadvertently, both mothers have become closer. This has led me to believe that the seeming/perceived hatred, mistrust, tribalistic tension that exists between the Igbo and yoruba, especially on this platform, is something we learn as we grow up. it is high time the tribal warlords on this platform begin to find a way to put an end to this animus that exists between the tribes and realize the plain truth; in Nigerian politics, there is no christian, moslem, Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa dichotomy. The rich and the powerful use these fictitious categories to get THE PEOPLE to despise each other and thus conceal and distract us from the real battlefront – the one between classes.
