Ethnic and religious cleansing actually started in Nigeria in1953, which was part of the remote causes of the civil war. Realists: |
I understand you bro and you are right. But, for the fact that a few Nigerians are misbehaving and folllowing the path of tribalism and ethnic profiling does not mean all of us should do same. PEACE. gidgiddy: |
" A NIGERIAN WANT TO BUY ....'' would have been better bro. By that, we all will congratulate him as our brother. Always referring to people by their ethnic national, religion or tribe is causing more harm to us. PEACE. gartamanta: |
You are actually correct. I live and work in Niger since 2010. Nigeria government have been spending billions of dollars on roads, schools, electricity, railways, jeeps, ...etc. The wastage is on an unimaginable scale and it is painful. Between 2010 and now, Niger have not experienced a combine 25 days of power outage and over 90% of their electricity is from Nigeria. skukimania: |
Your points are noted bro. Our aim here is to get detribalized Nigerians not adding to the issue. If we keep arguing we will not move forward. PEACE Asgard13: |
What would you say about former president Obasanjo, pa Adebanjo, Pastor Oyedepo, Falz, ...etc. all these are prominent Yoruba sons, are they also tribalistic ? Like l said, the actions of some few like those you mentioned cannot paint the picture of a whole tribe Asgard13: |
There was a house then in lagos ( No, 8 fawehinmi street, ojuelegba. I am talking of the years between 2004- 2009. There were Nigerians from almost all the tribes in Nigeria and different religions including ldol worshippers. Throughout that period, we lived peacefully, ate together, mutual assistance..etc.. During Christmas, both Christians and Muslims will celebrate same as During Tabaski. You will hardly tell who is from which tribe or religion. I wonder what have happened now. So, l agree with you that politicians are playing a major role in this tribalism and division. oyetpel: |
Putting your tribe first before competence in nation building is bad. That is why we talk of nepotism. I reiterate, Yorubas in general are not tribalistic. The actions of few here cannot be used to judge a whole tribe bro. Just like we have few Igbos, misbehaving here and that does not mean all Igbos do same. I am talking out of experience. Peace Asgard13: |
Thanks bro. Before the intervention of the government, we should be working in our own little ways to stop the menace to avoid burning our country. Rwandans started like this and till today, they are regretting their actions. Parachoko: |
In every tribe we have very good people and few bad eggs. Believe me, Yorubas are very good people. Igbos also are very good. You have very good hausas, Fulanis, Ibibio, Efiks, Nupes...etc. we can not some unfortunate actions or inactions of the few bad ones amongst us to profile a whole tribe. Please let's join hands to make Nigeria a better place. PEACE . Asgard13: |
For years now l have been folllowing events on Nairaland at it seems Nigerians are becoming more tribalized, hateful and religious intolérant. These things are bad and does not help us in anyway. At the end of the day, politicians are the highest beneficiaries because they use the above mentioned ills to implement their divide and rule policies on us. Henceforth, from the month of April, l will be giving 2 detribalized Nigerians here on politics section 10k each. That will be my little contribution towards controlling tribalism and hate here. Note: l will be monitoring comments and will chose the 2 beneficiaries monthly. PEACE. |
God bless you my brother. I am glad people like you are already towing the line of what l have been preaching. Names calling, hatred, bitterness, ethnic profiling..etc does us no good. Rather, we should keep émotions aside and be honest, truthful and objective when discussing Nigerian matters to make a country a better place. PEACE. [ author=0monnak0da post=121491355] We are now at the legal phase where evidence is all that matters not sentiment or name calling. Every claim has to be proven to achieve a result PDP can say the same thing So let us keep emotions to one side and focus on evidence Do you think the DELAYED IREV is credible?[/quote] |
Such divisive thread is bad and enhances tribalism, hatred, bitterness..etc amongst the good people of Nigeria. We should be preaching and promoting love rather than hatred. There is a reason why God joined us together and God does not make mistake. PEACE. cocolacec: |
Ok bro. You have every right to chose what path to follow, but if we join hands together we can actually make Nigeria a better place. Nigerians are generally good people, if you live abroad you will know. Whenever a Nigerian is confronted with difficulties , Nigerians ( irrespective of tribe, religion, social status) always come together to assist. It is only in Nigeria ( especially on Nairaland) that people preach hate and bitterness. But, believe me, we can make Nigeria a better place if we start now. PEACE. IyaebeTheGreat: |
You call people STUPID for exercising their civic rights and their choice of candidate ? Bitterness and hatred takes us nowhere. We should strive to preach love and togetherness in our own little ways rather than taking actions which pollutes our Nigerian space. PEACE. IyaebeTheGreat: |
Greetings bro. You can actually make your points without insults or bitterness. YES! the élection was a sham. YES! every democratic Nigerian have the right to be angry. But, if we could express our opinions without insults, disrespect to our elders/leaders, avoid ethnic or religious profiling it will be better. PEACE. PrinceOfLagos: |
We are all Nigerians bro, nothing like minority or majority. In the face of law we are equal : in the face of God we are equal. Wike has every right to chose his political divide so far he is not intimidating or harassing other innocent citizens. My concern is that, we should learn how to play politics without bitterness or ethnic and religious profiling. " You are Igbo, you are Fulani, you are Yoruba, you are Hausa, you are Ibibio.." etc , all these does not help us. We should try to make Nigeria a better place in our own little ways. PEACE: Ogbuefi2020: |
You could disagree with her 100% without insults or names calling. We cannot continue saying the country is not working whereas we cannot contribute our little quota towards making our society a sane space. You gain absolutely nothing by insulting bro. PEACE. Moh247: |
You still have not gotten me bro. You could do well to make your comments without profiling a tribe or religion. Like l said, we have plenty good Nigerians and few bad ones from every tribe and religion. This constant division and hatred especially here in Nairaland does not make our society and environment a sane and civil space. Irrespective of your anger towards some persons, you could chose to reciprocate with love and that makes you a bigger and wise fellow. PEACE. basilo102: |
Hatred, ethnic profiling, bigotry..etc takes us nowhere. You people should avoid thèse multiple thread promoting hatred amongst the good people of Nigeria. If you are a student of history, you would recall that Rwanda was decimated ( hutu vs tutsi 1994) because of what you are doing. Every region, tribe and religion have abundant good people and some bad elements. It will be better we start preaching love among ourselves irrespective of the provocation. PEACE. AdakaBoro8: |
Listen bro, we should be working towards making Nigerian space a good and conducive environment. Agreed, we have some bad leaders, but we could start fixing Nigeria from our own little way. TINUBU, might have his own shortcomings, but you will agree with me that none of us is a saint. We can only pray and hope that he performs better than the current administration which l believe he will. We should avoid politics of bitterness, anger and hate because it does not help us in anyway . It is on record that the Igbos and Yorubas have never fought or kill themselves EXCEPT on Nairaland. Peace. Shalommy: |
This is not necessary. Wish the dead a RIP and move on. Shalommy: |
Please, wish the dead RIP and move on bro. Politics of bitterness and anger does us no good. Let's pray Tinubu performs well to the benefit of all of us. PEACE. Shalommy: |
I am not supporting TINUBU but l know he will perform far more better than the current administration. But, what l am saying is that we should avoid politics of bitterness and insults. Whatever policies ( good or bad) that the winner implements will affect all of us same way, so no need to fight ourselves over politicians. PEACE. Bryan88: |
Such comments do not move our country forward bro. No matter the provocation, you could chose to be civil and lovely even towards your haters. PEACE. Frank688915: |
Greetings bro, please let's be talking about competence and capable candidates who can move our country forward. Profiling people based on ethnicity, religion, région..etc does not help us in anyway. Again, we have good and bad people in every tribe and religion but Nigerians are generally good people. PEACE. Johnthum: |
You know, cancellation is not the issue. My only anger here is the électoral umpire who brazenly violated the électoral act ( transmission of polling units immédiatly). Sincerely speaking, l believe none of the leading candidates Can be as worst as the current administration, so INEC should have played according to the rules. However, whatever happens should not make us fight or insult ourselves over politicians. Rather, we should continue to preach love and make our society a better place. PEACE. highchief1: |
You could advice her to ber civil in her discussions. If she decides to hate, you must not follow same path with her. The country is for all of us and whosoever wins the elections affects all of us same way, no need to hate or call names. Peace. Telekinetic: |
Profiling or hating does you no good. Whosoever wins the elections will affect all of us positively or negatively. You have every right to vote your candidate just like others. Please, let's be civil in this our country and promote love so as to build a better country for our children. Peace Tissaia: |
Ok bro, unfortunately l cannot tow same line with you. Peace Realists: |
I agree with you. But for the fact that someone is behaving bad does not really mean you should do same bro. You can correct them and move on. You will agree with me that the situation of Nigeria is very very bad and people are angry and frustrated and it affects their ways of relating with people. Talking about the elections, we can only pray that we get it right one day because what INEC gave us is definitely not the best. highchief1: |
