Anytime we try to talk about tribalism in Nigeria and we decided to directly or indirectly look in a particular direction, or try to blame a particular group or tribe , I always see the conversation as a waste of time.

ALL Nigerian politicians use religion and ethnicism/tribalism as tools when it favours them and most core followers are usually motivated by either or both.

Until we understand that it's a general problem and take meaningful step to address it, we will never get anything out of the numerous complaints. That is why superpack comment make more sense to me.

See what u are saying??
Are u not part of this problem??
Haven't u be supporting this govt right from day one even with their anti people policies?? Those of u coming here to say tribalism isn't the problem are saying so because u are part of those that plunge this nation into this mess because of Tribalism. Mind u Politicians don't use tribalism, u people allowed yourselves to be used. You can't make a wrong decision by voting an incompetent candidate because he comes from your tribe or political party & expect me to start addressing issues with u when reality hits!

You mean 900 pounds ordinary? God! I dey leave this country

Yes it is ordinary here , I stay in a small house(what we call self contain in nigeria ) and I pay more than $500 pounds for it every month.. in a year that is more than 6000pounds..and it is even a small ugly house..if I wanted to live in a standard house here i will be paying more than the 900 pounds every month..so the 900pounds is not even up to 10% Of what many people here pay yearly .it is ordinary.. but if you start calculating it to naira in your mind , you will not want to spend the money because you know that if such money enter nigeria it will become more than 1.5million naira monthly just for a house rent..but you have no choice u just have to pay it except if you want to be homeless

Humans are not zombies or robots..if you allow a politician to use you and deceive you , the politician should not be blamed , it is you that allowed them to use you ...they saw your weakness and took advantage of it..

Una go leave Tinubu but start to insult the tribe that voted all the 3 major candidates. By the way, I didn't even have opportunity to vote in the last election but I'm sure you hyped and supported a bad candidate because of tribalism in 2023.

Lol ... No wahala

Tribalism is small. I always laugh when Nigerians view it through the prism of tribalism as what is bedevilling the nation's progress. If that is it, then you know nothing about geopolitics and the nature of the world.

A Jew will always think about his self-interest first, and you cannot separate people from their identity. If you want them to vote for you since you are not from their group, you have to pander to their ideals and worldview. It's like wanting Arewa to vote for you and you are saying you see nothing about rearing pigs in Kano; let's forget about our identity. Forgetting that Islam is the political currency of Arewa in Nigeria.

Tribalism is not bad. What is tribalism? Tribalism is just loyalty to one's tribe. Full stop. And that is okay. And those who have not constructively used it in history either go extinct or bear dire consequences. I have no problem with an Arewa man preferring his people first before me. That's life. It is when we don't get what we want that we cry foul, but sometimes, stop to think, why? Well, he will prefer his own person because people are not comfortable with change.

What Nigerians are actually calling tribalism is more of nepotism.

And this goes beyond friends and family. Even people of another tribe. An Igbo man may prefer his Yoruba friend more for a position than his own Igbo brother because maybe they have some kind of shady history or something like that, even when he knows that he may not be capable for the job, and vice versa.

So, the spectrum is broad. About Tinubu, @crazymommy, know that it is not only Yorubas who supported him. He also got votes from other geopolitical zones. Yes, some Yorubas may say they will vote for him because he is one of them, and they have the right to do so because he will make them feel among and have a sense of belonging to the Nigeria project. Others in the Yoruba circle may support him also because they have a better chance of getting contracts when they pander to his ethnic identity.

Politics is all about self-interest...and the APC guys, Akpabio, etc., know that. There is not even a guarantee that if the other two candidates enter presidency, things won't turn this way or even worse. We can only say "maybe...maybe". I am not a time lord who can view different alternate realities. Nigeria's greatest mistake was Buhari (whoever reads, let him see the attached) because the damage done by him will take a miracle for any presidential candidate to reverse. Yes, the present one supported him, but politics again is about self-interest, and Buhari did bad.

Nigeria's problem is not tribalism. It is the structure that does not work, which is used to run the country. When the engine is bad, even the car will shut down every two minutes along the road.

Was there not "tribalism" (even though I don't like using it because it is a demeaning colonial construct) in the 60s in the regions, yet no one could come close to Awolowo's achievements?

We should rather understand our differences rather than forget them. A properly defined and structured country along ethno-linguistic federalism in Nigeria should alleviate our problems. No good structure...nothing. Babel is chaos...let everyone know their place...then come together to negotiate what they want in the project.

As "beautiful" as globalists are in Europe and America, opening up their world to us, there are some nucleus they will never allow you to touch if you are not part of them. The Jews will attest to it (I won't talk much).

Nigeria's time bomb they have been shouting all these days has already exploded; now we are seeing the aftereffects. If you like put Obi there, Atiku o, another one wey better, nothing will work because the devils that are feeding from the dysfunctioned system are gatekeepers and they can fight to the death to keep it that way. They are principalities of another order who are men. See how ordinary fuel turn to soap opera.

Upgrade the lock and security systems if you want less break-ins. They know what to do; they just don't want to.

So how was goodluck Jonathan able to make fuel price remain below 160 and dollar remain below 300naira during his era ?? Or those same cabals were not in existence during that time ?? Or nepotism was not in existence by then ?? You people should call a spade a spade , yeah nigeria needs structure..yeah fine..but that does not change the fact that apc government failed..PDP government was never a Saint either but they were still be able give better governance than APC..and tinubu even made it worse......smh

During Jonathan era..my friend processed his UK travelling with less than 4m...now I used more than 38m to process the same travelling...and you people are talking about structure when buhari and tinubu kuku broke the table already..where structure go stand sef..

When it comes to governance , you do not mix tribalism with electing good leaders.. there are many countries in the world with various tribes in their country yet when its time to elect leaders , they keep tribalism one side and come in one voice to vote someone who they feel is competent , they won't vote you simply because you are from their tribe or not, they will vote you simply because they believe you will perform well as a leader, go and even Google the definition of nepotism and see that it still all come down to tribalism ...if I put you in a certain office because you are my brother and not because you are qualified for it , that is nepotism..so now what makes you to be my brother in most cases in nigeria context ?? You are My blood or family or same tribe etc....and if you are my family..we are still of same tribe na..you cannot remove tribalism from nepotism..the tribalism leads to the influence which brings in nepotism.

You can make your point without attacking him.. as much as you’re right , he’s also right too. Subtly denigrating a tribe for their political choice is what I hate and will never condone.. the tribe you’re attacking voted the three candidates , infact obi won lag , Atiku also won a state I think.

Personally I’ve always sit on the fence when it comes to politics , because no matter the side you take, chances are that you’ll end up creating enemy for yourself. And as someone that has ‘interest’ to protect from all tribes , it’s better I remain anonymous as regards my political views . And looking at other candidates too, I don’t think any of them has what it takes to save the country , , Abi no be on this nairaland on one 2012 thread like that wey people dey condemn obi in Anambra say he did nothing !


And talk of Atiku , no be from here we read say he’s part of cabals working against stable electricity just to protect his gen supply chain and other shady deals..

And before u question my point, note that I’ve always criticized the 3 candidates even before the election ..
One gave the impression of an honest but incompetent doctor ( obi) one gave impression of a competent but dishonest doctor ( ojuyobo), why alhaji Atiku gave the impression of having the two 😀….

Nobody is saying Nigeria will automatically become an Eldorado if we overlook tribalism & put competent people in office, but it will be far better than this. Are u saying if someone like Osinbanjo was in power, the country will be in such a mess & confused state?? Be honest with yourself. The kind of tribalism we practice in this country is different from what obtains in other part of the world. Not until we put Nigeria as a nation first above tribe, we can never make progress. Tribalism is the root cause, because voting is the selection process. Whatever u select as a citizen during voting will determine the direction the nation will go. Some persons are corrupt, but others are extremely corrupt. The binance guy is still locked up till this moment, while naira is still dwindling, how is that a fair approach to resolving issue? Put an intelligent man there & see how all these things get resolved.

They were defending the naira with billions of dollars yearly... Check the screenshots. You have your answer. Now imagine what could have happened if this amount was channelled to proper infrastructure and productivity with good structure on ground.

There is the answer there...and we have been living on subsidised currency, fuel, etc. Subsidy is not bad but it should not take a large chunk of what should be used for the upliftment of a nation.

We need leaders with foresight and can do the right thing too. Both of them are failures APC and PDP....

Again, that is the answer in the screenshot.

I have read through different people input about what is bedeviling our country Nigeria, and I must say, we all have a point. In as much that "there is sense in all we have said", there is also an aspect that "doesn't make sense".

A lot has befallen our dear country, and our problem boils down to corruption, nepotism, tribalism, illiteracy, religious fanatism, etc.
During the last election, I supported Peter Obi not because he is an Igbo man, but because he presented a better plan for the country than Tinubu/Atiku. I would have supported another if their 4yrs plan was better.
A lot of MSc holders in my office supported Tinubu, and they are all Yorubas. What was their reasons
I don't like discussing or arguing politics because its a debate nobody can win, as far as Nigerians are the ones debating.

If we want this country to work, then we all need to find solution to the problems I mentioned above.
Our leaders are just 1% of Nigeria problem. The citizens made them , therefore 99% of Nigeria problem is associated with the citizens.

YEBO bros, Yebo.

Tribalism is dismissible in the grand scheme of things. I wish those folks can see that. I didn't want to delve deeper into it because it's a waste of time and it's not a huge part of the problem. But that did not stop me from looking up a few data from the 2023 election even though I don't believe it reflects the will of the people. According to data available, Tinubu was voted by Northerners as well as those in the Niger Delta region and the South West. And even though we've not been in democracy for long, we know that in the past, other tribes have supported candidates not from their regions. Clearly, the majority of Nigerians are smarter and are above tribalism.

As you have rightly put it, the structure that has been put in place does not work anymore. But I want to add that there are few elements who have continued to service that structure to the detriment of the masses. These leaders have to go down with it.

In my opinion, a simple fix will be to cut the head of the snake and let its body rot away. The challenge is that this particular snake has many heads although they can all be targeted at the same time. Unfortunately, we don't have ambitious military officers out there anymore. They seem to have all been bought or perhaps they have become too agreeable.

Castigate me all you want but I think another civil war or military regime may not be too far off anymore, because this same corruption and misuse of office by civilians was what led to the previous one. History always repeats itself when people do not learn from it.

If u think electing an intelligent man into office will not bring relief & succour to the average Nigerian, it means u are not being sincere. Who is talking about megawatts & transport system?? We are talking about food & price of basic commodities! I don't want to continue engaging u guys because i can see some of u are just talking on the basis of cryppto earnings because dollar is high, u have no idea what people are really going through under this govt. Things are out of reach for the common man out there!! People can no longer afford basic food stuffs & drugs!

In this market don't be afraid of losing money but try to know why you lose money on a stock/crypto and don't allow your losses to be greater than your profits.
Once the fundamental is no more, please sell off and move on.
My first law of investment is 'never to reinforce fail stock because it will eat up all your profits in your portfolio'.
I hear people saying that I will average down. Averaging down when the fundamentals is no more is never a good investment decision.
The future is Bright.

Ironically, I get happy sometimes that Peter Obi lost the election. If he was the president, I feel he would have been bullied out. Like they did to Jonathan. A single candle in a dark and foggy forest cannot defeat the darkness. The roots of corruption runs deep into every system in the country from the legislature to the Judiciary, police, and inec, among others.

So sad to imagine but the entire system needs to be torched and that is not a job for just any good person. I feel only the military can achieve such a goal and instill such discipline.

Transport, fuel, food, and electricity, have some connections. If there is good transport system to convey agro produce, electricity (people spend fuel on what they shouldn't to run business), it will reduce cost. PMS is a strong strand in our economy that if you pull it, it affects most things...

That is why I mentioned the 250 billion dollars used to defend the naira till 2014. If it were channelled to those things, removing subsidy wouldn't affect Nigeria much. This shows you did not read the earlier screenshots I posted.

And about an intelligent man...good, but what use is an intelligent man told to use a broken system? Even the intelligent man will call for a new tool to work with so that his intelligence can bring out his glory and dexterity. Ever heard a proverb that one rich man among thousands of pauper is a pauper himself?

A man who has the know-how but is surrounded by idiots will be impotent in his performance and frustrated. If he calls for a change of system and 10000 idiats say No, what will he do?

Idiats can easily kill an intelligent man and no one will remember him for his intelligence.

Perhaps in your view, you think Solomon was foolish when he said:

I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions.


There is something else I saw, a good example of how wisdom is regarded in this world. 14 There was a little town without many people in it. A powerful king attacked it. He surrounded it and prepared to break through the walls. 15 Someone lived there who was poor, but so clever that he could have saved the town. But no one thought about him.[c] 16 I have always said that wisdom is better than strength, but no one thinks of the poor as wise or pays any attention to what they say. 17 It is better to listen to the quiet words of someone wise than to the shouts of a ruler at a council of fools.

Na experience.

Nigeria has the council bolded
Wise men.
People who could have saved it

But council is more than....if you don't get it, forget about it.

Out of three candidates, Nigerians elected/allowed who American president has been avoiding to see due to his dirty past in their country and they're expecting him to attract FDI that will boost the economy. People are even still saying that the other two couldn't have done any better

Una never see anything, these are still baby steps. The main shege is still ahead.

Transport, fuel, food, and electricity, have some connections. If there is good transport system to convey agro produce, electricity (people spend fuel on what they shouldn't to run business), it will reduce cost. PMS is a strong strand in our economy that if you pull it, it affects most things...

That is why I mentioned the 250 billion dollars used to defend the naira till 2014. If it were channelled to those things, removing subsidy wouldn't affect Nigeria much. This shows you did not read the earlier screenshots I posted.

And about an intelligent man...good, but what use is an intelligent man told to use a broken system? Even the intelligent man will call for a new tool to work with so that his intelligence can bring out his glory and dexterity. Ever heard a proverb that one rich man among thousands of pauper is a pauper himself?

A man who has the know-how but is surrounded by idiots will be impotent in his performance and frustrated. If he calls for a change of system and 10000 idiats say No, what will he do?

Idiats can easily kill an intelligent man and no one will remember him for his intelligence.

Your words are deep and inspiring.

You are just disturbing my mentions, what kind of person are u?? Previous govt when civil servants were able to afford cements & build houses, was the transport system & megawatts different from what we have now?? Who is talking about about development, take Nigeria back to pre May 2023, so people can afford basic things. 2023 allawee was 33k, fuel was 198, rice 30k & all other goods, now fuel is 1200, rice is 107k, corpers are still earning 33k? Do u think that is fair?? Even the so called 70k minimum wage, they refused to pay. This is not about the system, it is about compassion & the mind of the person at the helm of affairs. Stop using the system as smokescreen to defend incompetence. You are making it seem like Nigerians want something extra ordinary from this govt. Pls don't mention me again if u don't want to be reasonable!

The person above me still don't get it...

When we give facts and reality to some people about the country, they react angrily. That's why people who could have saved it keep quiet in the country and just look una.

If you like, shout till tomorrow...what made Naira jumped from 0.5 to 1650 won't stop until it is addressed once and for all.

"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock..."

The council is still with us...

I rest my case.

Chikacha:
If I was in Nigeria I will never be here.

My mates are in Nigeria, they are stagnant. They are not happy. They are wasting away. They beg for money. The happiness we shared as kids are no longer there. They complain a lot to you. They do... This for the whole lifetime? Why? Because I want to be in Nigeria, feel at home where I belong?

Who told you you belong to Nigeria, and if you do what has she really done for you? Do not answer if you are sentimental.
Home is what you do and where you make it to be.
I cannot imagine living a lifetime, waiting for Nigeria to get better.
It is not fair to you.

I love the fact that this group is filled with young Nigerians with like minds who have passion for a better life. @Chikacha your post made me so emotional. I feel so stagnated that it's killing me. Such a depressing and hopeless situation. I pray your kind of grace & breakthrough find my family.

Wherever the universe moved/moving you to, make sure you're striving to be better for yourself. It is when your life is better financially, physically, emotionally and your mind is peaceful; that's when you will remember others and your beloved country.

A struggling man can't even be useful to his immediate family not to talk of being loyal to his country.

And yes YOURSELF first before anyone, before any country. If you die being loyal to anyone, the anyone you are loyal to will move on after sometimes be it your wife, husband or children. Yourself is very important. Everyone will take care of themselves.

We have enough of this irritating bullshit to contend with in the politics section. For the sake of decency and focus, let's stick to the main issue - when and how the bull will run as fast as its legs can carry.

Which kind wahala be this? This place is supposed to be immune to the aggravating and depressing state of affairs in this shithole country. We can vent about that rubbish in the politics section.

They were defending the naira with billions of dollars yearly... Check the screenshots. You have your answer. Now imagine what could have happened if this amount was channelled to proper infrastructure and productivity with good structure on ground.

There is the answer there...and we have been living on subsidised currency, fuel, etc. Subsidy is not bad but it should not take a large chunk of what should be used for the upliftment of a nation.

We need leaders with foresight and can do the right thing too. Both of them are failures APC and PDP....

Again, that is the answer in the screenshot.

But these same government once defended the naira one particular month with several billions yet the naira was still weak , and after that they saw it did not work
, They now transferred the blame to binance P2P...SMH

And when the subsidy of all these ended , what infrastructure and productivity have you seen from this government ?? What have they used the money for ?? Smh...it is well oooo

Which is better, pay subsidy and reduce the suffering of Nigerians , stop paying subsidy and they embezzled the money and put it into their own personal pocket..please which one is better ?? Smh..assuming they use it to develop the country it would have been good..but they put it In their pocket and you people are still defending this....OK ooo

Even in western countries , many things are subsidised including transportation..yet you people are talking as if paying subsidy for these is taking so much money from the country...OK oooo..if only you people know how much the Nigerian government make daily , you will understand that paying subsidy is not taking any large chunk from the country account as they make it look like.. The same country that will tell you that nigeria is broke and cannot pay a certain minimum wage but you see the same government splashing billions on cars for themselves ..smh..
