Everyone is tribalistic keh? What kind of generalisation is this?
Nawa o.

Donjazet2:



Noo Emmanuel, we don't! Or at least I don't, for God's sake that's why we evolve!

That's why you see me constantly hitting on the fact that dayo, a Nigerian emigrant to a foreign country where he is a minority, more so part of a minority group that has been on the receiving end of such deadly rhetorics should understand better, the implications of such bitter words.
Indeed one can rationalise those hateful narratives if it was coming from a native lagosian who instinctively feels threatened by the changing tribal makeup of his immediate environment and who doesn't grasp the idea of economic growth due to immigration and diversity.

But when a Nigerian emigrant himself who has seen the effects of tribal division and then exposed to the history of those in his new country who have suffered soo much on the alter of racial differences. He should fvcking know better.

And maybe I also once thought that tribe mattered but one evolves to the point that you see that it ultimately doesn't matter.

I'm detribilized because I have had sufficient exposure to different tribes. My Yoruba aunt is one of the best people in my life, that woman no dey joke with me, we always have the best of times together, my friends in the university were multi-ethnic, my friends during nysc were of different tribes and I made wonderful memories with these people. I work in a multi-tribal environment and I can sufficiently say that I really don't give a Fvck about my tribe over others..
The same way my state grapples with bad governance is not the same way all states grapple with bad governance?
From corrupt governors with no sense of accountability to its citizens, to approving overbloated budgets that they funnel to themselves, to owing state workers salaries, are all these not common factors in nearly all the states?? Do any of them know tribe when stealing from the masses.

Oga, I am not tribalistic. I don't see my tribe as superior, make no mistake, I admire subsets of my tribe, I like the fashion, l like the cultural cuisine, I admire some historically significant events like a king's ofala etc but I do not in anyway think it is more significant than other's tribe.
So please don't generalise that we are all tribalistic as in the sense that our tribe is better than the other.

Olowunl01:

This is what I expect us to be discussing...

Oga Dayo had given it a stab with a welcome revised analysis on Obi chances (na why u no give into my 15% bet offer but I believe we need state by state analysis.

Aside, if registered voters are 98m, wetin be Naija population? 350m?

liveLongNprospa:


Bruh I don't give 2 fvcks about my tribe to the point of having my conscience judge me.

E get lines wey we nor suppose cross abeg. I don see the effects of tribalism and while you might benefit in the short term, e go dey worsen things long-term.

Yes my stance might not change anything oo but I'm okay with it.

liveLongNprospa:


Not for me.. I'm good with the constant reminder.



Tribalism join wetin dey fvck the country up. So remind those who practise it steady..
We receive new viewers on this board everyday.. Make them know the people them dey get news from

DriveByKiller:
joe what do you say about Buhari who is neck deep in romance with Boko Haram and marauding herds men and Tinubu has never criticized for once.

I will tell you one thing now: your very future and those of your kids and that of Nigeria hangs on this year's election producing Peter Obi.

Why?

Because for once if Obi wins from nowhere, it's power to the people. Our democracy would have taken a big stride in independence, transparency and accountability.

It would forever change the landscape of democracy, human rights, oppression and good governance because power will ultimately lie on the people and the ballot box will be the tool every politician will fear the most.

Atiku or Tinubu will only symbolize the continuation of the status quo; selection of candidates by a few political elite, chosen ones and systemic rigging against the everyday Nigerians.

You really need to know that this election is different from all other before it because Nigeria's democracy is at the crossroads.

If Atiku or Tinubu wins the usual way as par rigging, all our voices and agitation would have been for nothing and the people would have lost all zeal to vehemently campaign to vote for reforms.

You really need to see this from a national survivability angle.

And trust me, Peter Obi would deal with IPOB more than Buhari can ever do.
If there's one thing I can predict about Obi now is that he will be a pacifier when he becomes president

Tataffo:

When is this going to end,The message you are trying to pass has been heard loud and clear,kindly give it a rest bro...

reccy:


You have a point!!! I love this!!!

TrebleChamp:
I have ask him this question before, me sef confuse wahali....

Ellexy:
For someone who who calls out folks that fight and defend their gods, he doesn't realize he does it more than those folks he's calling out. At the mention of Otem he comes all out defending Otem and attacking those who are simply catching cruise.

Donjazet2:


The thing is I don't really feel like my point has actually gotten through. I'm not comfortable with the general pretence that someone who spends 15 solid years hunting a particular People, baiting them with terrible language and sowing the seeds of discord and animosity will not feel the need to address those who respect him as to why he engaged in such monstrosity. As to why he had to do such evil things.
I don't just think my message has really been passed adeptly.

A001:

Lols, so says a religious slave. Otem is the cause of your misfortunes in Iife.

Be ready to read more of my posts exposing the lies of religion.

The histories Otem revealed in his book about your god and religion dey pepper am for body, lols. Make una gather unaself more.

Una no reach.

Ellexy:
Otem means fvck all to people here but seeing how triggered you get at the mention, get ready to keep defending and attacking. You never see anything.

Tataffo:


Lool,the comment shock me

Donjazet2:
Very well said prosper.

Donjazet2:


Does this mean we get to embrace you into pthe camp of revolutionists soon enough? Are you ready to join the winning team and be part of those who effected positive change in their country's leadership?

larride:
May Otem blessings fall on all of you.

Segedinho:

Should we say amen or ameee


Or is there any otemic response you think is ideal

iamoyindamola:

And you too brother larride in otem
Remember to meet ebukacute for your otemic number
We won't stop until we win soul to otem

Tataffo:
DonJ,Na wa for you ooooo!!!! Fvcking Rest Na!!!

DissTroy:


One could have a genuine supposedly noble reason for a cause but how you go about executing it could kill the cause itself.

It's the same dilemma Wike has found himself while in with his campaign against Atiku while insisting on Southern presidency.

His earlier cry of "Southern presidency" to PDP faithfuls is beginning to fall on deaf ears because he cried too loud, too loud, and too much. And didn't know when to draw the line.

Connect the dots here.

Manuel69:


I personally believe he is spot on here. Tribalism is not good and should not be tolerated. I also think he is correct in pointing out the herd mentality that prevents more from speaking openly against it.
