The Igbos and the Yorubas...they always intermarry. But during elections, politicians make it as tho they are sworn enemies. And na your fragile mindsets and insecurities dem dey use dey achieve am.

After the elections, we return back as used tools and continue our otutu oma and odabo o with our neighbours from diff tribes.

To get sense for Nigeria, you no need 5G. Na you wey no gree reason anti-tribalism.

No bi to go school be the problem. No bi to get MSc or PhD. You, I mean you, you get sense?

Smiles.
