‘’ IF WE WANT TO PAY OUR TAXES WE ARE NOT TOLD TO GO AND PAY IT TO OUR STATE BUT WHEN WE WANT TO VOTE IN GOOD LEADERS ...YOU SAY, GO AND VOTE IN YOUR STATE .

ETHNICITY AND THE GAME OF POLITICS

Nigeria as a nation has over 300 ethnic nationality with a split of over 1000 dialects, decision making by our leaders The national interest of the country can only be progressed along non ethnic bias; if we must see ourselves as a nation

We do not have to belong to group that has the numbers to rule or to live any where in Nigeria.Our backgrounds and ethnic origin should not be a deterrent to our political dreams and aspiration, the thought of their ethnic origin and strength has killed so many aspirants who ordinarily would have been able to take the nation to a crescendo by way of the content of their character and ability but these dreams have been sacrificed on the altar of ethnicity.
I dare to say that no ethnic group is our problem. Some of our representatives remains our problems.
Every Nigerian born in any state should have a right of citizenship of that state. Consider that even our traditions require that the corpse of the deceased are returned to their places of origin this can only happen in a country divided by ethnicity.

Citizenship should be about residence, marriage and the land of our birth. We must not continue to demonise the man from Zamfara who is born in Owerri he should have all right even the right to becoming the governor in Imo State. In the same vain the man from Nnewi born in Lagos should have same entitlement in Lagos.

The continuous reference to go your state when we question bad governance or want to vote a leaders where we live but yet we are not told to go pay our taxes to our state should be put to a stop everyone should have a voice where he lives not where he was supposed to be from. Then and only then will we see ourselves as a one Nigeria and not by federal character.

BikoMERCYme:
LoL.......
Ibos gon soon reason dis one matter.........

See.......Enugu native from awgu Lga but born and bred in nsukka.....will never be allowed to contest as nsukka councillor..........let one someone coming from other eastern state........

Naira20:
The truth is many who are killing themselves over tribe may not even be from the said tribe.

For example, Sanwo-olu's son in Delta state could have been lied to that he is.urhobo and if that goes on for about 3 generations, he may even.be fighting Ogun state visitors in Delta state.

There are many children that have been lied to by their mothers.
Don't be surprised Tinubu may even be a Togolese or an Abakaliki man whose mother is from iragbiji.

aariwa:
exactly Tinubu doesn’t have any physical evidence that he is a Yoruba man because Abibatu mogaji is not his biological mother. If his father is Yoruba even if na armed robber he would be proud to showcase him. I have challenged urchins many times for a single proof that Tinubu is a Yoruba man but they kept running

ImperialYoruba:
Thats nothing but a designed bamboozle, igodye should stay in comedy, and not cross into politics.

When ibos in Anambra deny Ibos in Enugu from contesting election. When catholic diocese in one ibo state reject a bishop appointed from another ibo state. When people of Ebonyi reject an Ibo from Anambra from taking position as Vice Chancellor of a University on their soil, these are all fine.

Ibo is denied Lagos post, now its all of sudden ok for almajiri, as you call them, to be governor in iboland.

Una dey craze. Didnt you just call, towards end of last year, for all fulani in iboland to vacate and return to North?

Nayturalistic:
See this Yeye Ibos and SS with another mumu propaganda. Una whey no fit let an Ebonyi man become Governor in Enugu sef de talk about tribalism lmao..

Make una just stop all this stupid talks, else all this go blow back right on you all. You don’t mess with peoples culture and heritage and call their land a No man’s Land.

Winnersunited:
Is Gbadebo Igbo man Your head just dey hot for nothing.

Nayturalistic:


I am very sure you woke up early today Becos you had nothing to eat last night.. and I also know say your data go soon finish this morning so why not face all that immediate problems of yours first?

Tinubu is not a Yoruba man. As in, you folks on NL here are the ones making your kinds look more guilty of tribalism. Bunch of Yeye people .. developers indeed.

Last last, na still iPhone cord and chargers more than 85% of una de sell for the same Lagos whey una de feel like who don arrive.

Once again, the day you folks will get your Biafla will be the day the Yorubas will truly be independent and flourish amongst themselves.

Totilopussylick:
Nigeria can't move forward because of tribalism

Ok12345:

Owerri people looking at igodye with bombastic side eye

I have been to many states in Nigeria and I have come to realise that the least territorial people are the Yorubas and the Akwa Ibomites. The rest are very territorial. Do not even talk about the Igbos, even if they are forced to sell lands to non-Igbos they will treat you like an outsider. A friend once went to a burial in Imo state. In the burial he met a Yoruba woman married to an Igbo man for many years. She warned him that once the burial is over, he should not follow anybody anywhere. He should sharply take a bike and enter the city then leave the state the next day. Exactly what he did.
Keeping sentiments aside, if you want to have full rights in other regions, let others have full rights in your region first.

loosecanon50:
It’s too late to say kill tribal/ethic bigotry before it kills us. It is killing us already.

Sadly, this will remain the status quo because our newly elected president is the #1 chief bigot himself.

The only way out of this is if God intervenes and stop the mandate-thief from being sworn in.

nonhuman:
I did not see any sense in what you wrote here
