babasolution:Interesting claim you make regarding the minor tribes somehow being greater. There are 774 local government areas in Nigeria... municipalities where if the people truly wished for progress, they could easily begin making it happen for themselves as is. To date, none of those 774 municipalities can boast of any of the following ■ Clean water supply to homes ■ Robust sewage and water management system ■ Effective Waste management system ■ Good schools with world-standard educational and Skills training services ■ Internet connectivity in both homes and businesses ■ Electricity supply to homes and businesses(through building of dams, use of wind turbines, and better distribution services) ■ World Standard equipped Healthcare network ■ Sturdy road network complete ■ Passenger Rail system linking at least the major towns and cities ■ Network of Libraries with free access to members of the public to support learning ■ Better prison facilities and rehabilitation programs ■ Expansion of police-community programs to help capture crimes across all parts of the state. ■ Robust Gas transmission network for the direct piping of gas into homes. , etc. So, do you want us to believe that these minor tribes which you claim have achieved greater than the major tribes have so far do not live within any of the 774 LGAs that is Nigeria? ![]() The major tribes have indeed amounted to nothing as far as Nigeria is concerned but that doesn't mean the minor tribes are any better than they are. As the proof is everywhere that all tribes in Nigeria are nothing but mouths and noise. ![]() |

Kobojunkie:There are systemic things hindering things for the minorities, many of those things were hitherto achieved Under military rule led by minorities like Gowon,Abuja built by babangida |

babasolution:I will bite🤔🤔🤔 ... what are the systemic things today hindering people in village A or town A or LGA A from coming together as a tribe to provide themselves any of the above-listed amenities? ![]() |
| Re: Why Are Nigerian Major Tribes Not Ashamed Of Their Status by babasolution(op): 5:52pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
Kobojunkie:For a long while LGAs were not given their due funds and were also run by stooges of state governors and not elected by the people, this is a systemic failure. Also,How do you maintain those things if they are built by private funds,with which resources, when a local government can hardly sell resources found in its land. You can build but to maintain is the problem. A clear case occurred in my minority LGA were a big hospital was built by collective effort of the indigenes but it deteriorated when it could not be subsequently maintained because charges were very low. |

babasolution:Wetin concern state government with this now. So, private developments and investments from people within even the minor tribes are totally out of the question even at these smaller levels for una? ![]() 2. What you just said makes no sense of any kind. If the hospital is privately owned shouldn't the maintenance fall on the owners themselves? ![]() |
| Re: Why Are Nigerian Major Tribes Not Ashamed Of Their Status by babasolution(op): 6:03pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
Kobojunkie:The hospital was built by communal contribution not private entity, the community could no longer sustain the funding after several decades due to the general shambolic economy sponsored by the majority tribes especially after 1999. You talking private investment cos most of the major tribes people due to their being close to power have links to access funds and grow their businesses and are individually wealthy, that's not the case for many small tribes. They don't really have people with very deep pockets as much that's what people like you don't understand. Not every tribe as the dangote,otedolas etc |
| Re: Why Are Nigerian Major Tribes Not Ashamed Of Their Status by Kobojunkie: 7:15pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
babasolution:1. Communal contributions but owned by whom? The government or the people who contributed to build it..aka private investors? ![]() 2. So, unless massive funds are available, not even the local schools can be developed by way of private contributions from the villages over time-- shareholders, abi? ![]() 2. Are deep pockets what is necessary or a people with a plan and a resolve? If deep pockets are the solution why are LGAs located across of Lagos State, including Dangote's home town and village, all equally without any of the listed? ![]() |

Kobojunkie:People are out of their local government, hustling,paying bills wherever they find themselves, they might not have sustained funds to fund,local projects for a long sustainable period. Those resident in local government areas especially of rural communities might not have the required funds to fund such projects sustainably too,unless there is a sustained means by which the community earns money possibly through exploitation of its natural resources or some local manufacturing of which the system doesn't support. The example I gave is a private project from community effort different from a private corporate entity or well funded individual, they sustained it for quite some time ( over decades) but could not reliably continue to sustain it which led to its deterioration ,like wise schools in the community, it's not as easy as you think. The government led by these majority tribes needs to step up or give way for minorities to take up the challenge |

babasolution:1. What you are telling us is that the people... the same ones whom you earlier indicated were able to come together to build a hospital for themselves in the past... should not be expected to help themselves at all. ![]() 2. How can it be private when you stated that maintenance had to be handled by, not those who came together to build the facilities, but others completely removed from them? ![]() 3. Basically, you finally admit then that the minor tribes are just as pathetic as the major tribes in their yearning for some government from some where to come to save them all, abi? You created this thread to create the perception that there was a difference to be noted between the major and minor tribes but here you indicate that they all are out there waiting for a savior at the village, township, and LGA levels. ![]() |

Bayelsa state is ruled by Ijaw and earns atleast 4 times more allocations from FG than Anambra despite its smaller population. But Yenegoa is not even as developed as Nnewi. And when exactly was the last time the Igbo man ruled Nigeria? Why do you have to squeeze Ndiigbo into your cowardice vituperations? Are that too coward to mention the SW and North that have been in power since 1966? Was GEJ not the president of Nigeria for good 6 years? |

Kobojunkie:There are laws that are enforced by the Nigerian government that prevents some actions by those willing to take them ,therefore the Nigerian government should give way ,if they cannot fulfill their own obligations. It was simply difficult to maintain sustainably,that's my point,because they couldn't sustain the funding after 2 decades. The system of the Nigerian laws,economy and government prevents them sustainable funding .They LGA using Nigerian laws prevented them from imposing a tax to sustain the funding. What then is the purpose of these useless majority tribes governments if they can't fulfil any obligations to the people? |

babasolution:1. What law enabled the community you mentioned earlier to donate and to form a company for themselves, to build for themselves a hospital but then stop them from maintaining the company they built for themselves? ![]() 2. So, the business they built was not profitable but somehow they then expected government or someone else to come in to save their private investment? Does that make sense of any kind? ![]() 3. Prevents sustainable funding of private businesses? Does that even make sense to you? ![]() 4. Well, the problem isn't limited to the major tribes as you have clearly revealed by the many silly excuses you have attempted to make over and over again on why even the minority tribes are unable to sustainably change their lives any differently from the other tribes in the country. ![]() |
| Re: Why Are Nigerian Major Tribes Not Ashamed Of Their Status by babasolution(op): 10:21pm On Nov 23, 2024 |
Kobojunkie:The hospital wasn't built as a business but to help the community as there was no government hospital any were close. The community built it's own roads They built their own schools They built their own town hall They contributed to electrify their community But then again to maintain these things are not as easy as to build,buy or install them. Because they need continued sustainable funding which is not easy to maintain over a long stretch of time unlike the time it takes to donate funds to build. These stupid wazobia laws n government should be discarded for better performance |

Broda man I feel your pains, but the struggle is not about tribe like the misguided minions think. But between those that believe they are the elite and the poor. If ure not rich in this country at the moment ure in the tribe of the poor. Nothing that is meant to work for u works for u! Not the police or justice or the legislature whether ure Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or minority. They all work for the other tribe. The tribal bashing they covertly encourage is all a smoke screen, they don’t care about any of that. It’s meant to keep the poor busy at each other’s throats while they share what is meant for all amongst themselves. It wasn’t always like this, but it is what it is now. ![]() |

babasolution:1. This is even worse! So, in a place like Nigeria where I grew up, members of a community came together, not to build private schools, roads, town halls, or power transmission lines. Instead, they contributed money to sponsor the government in their own community. what sort of nonsense is that? 😏 2. Members of the community fed their own money into a non-profit endeavor and then expected the same government that never paid them any mind before it all to come in and maintain it on their behalf. No be craze be that? 🙄 3. Abeg, stop rambling o'jare! You call them stewpid wazobia laws but you have yet to reveal that any of them have in fact hindered you or any minor group you know of from directly engaging and developing themselves at the village, township, and LGA levels. No be craze them dey call that? 🙄 |

Flash news buddy: if we cannot get it right regarding relations between majority and minorities (even those that have lived among us for a millennia or more) here in the West where money is not a problem and our governments are hellbent over "inclusivity" since the end of WW2 (so there has been time to try and reshape mentality to be more accepting)...do you think prosperity will solve all the issues? It means people will always find some reason to fight, especially in areas where povery exacerbates the issues. And local areas don't work here in the West, with some provinces having GDP in the hundreds of billions and they still fail at most basic tasks - take Milan here in Italy, with a GDP of $493 billion, as an example, and its quality of life is still utter trash comparing average income vs cost of living and services provided. it's why we have NATIONAL governments, to (in theory) intervene where local institutions, whether formal or informal, fail. |

Kobojunkie:My village as developed itself,both in human resource and infrastructure through self will and effort even before independence of the Nigerian state. If you don't understand dynamics of changing ECONOMIC situations, Na you sabi. These fxcking major tribes need to sit up n upgrade or leave the scene for the real gees- minorities to run |

babasolution:1. Name the village so we can independently confirm your claim. ![]() 2. So, dynamics of changing ECONOMIC situation is what keeps a community of people from developing themselves independent of the incompetent leadership situation in the entire country down to the LGA level that has persisted for over 60 leads? ![]() 3. I guess you are just here to shift the blame as is typical with every tribe in Nigeria and nothing else! Very typical behavior among Nigerians! ![]() |

Kobojunkie:What's the essence of government? Why should they have laws and governance structures when it's left to the communities to develop themselves solely when they collect tax from local markets .my local government as been developing itself independently however, but that model is not sustainable unless ,the government of Nigeria ceases to exist |
