Even in ur lgb0 man, I'm sure there's an Ebonyi, Nsukka before lgb0.
Somehow those of you using that line think you are sophisticated, it only shows u lack idea about the bigger picture, Nigeria is drifting apart rapidly that more people are accepting the idea of separation, when the separation eventually happens, same mindset will tickle down to each individual entity.
Example in marital level..

Anambra: ndi imo no Sabi marry wife.
Imo: Ndi anambra na "my mama say"

And what is wrong with that? my tribe was not asked if we want to be part of Nigeria.
Re: Nigerians Are More Loyal To Their Ethnic Groups Than Nigeria – Goodluck Jonathan by IfnobeGod20(m): 8:40am On Nov 28, 2024
That is just the truth and I don't expect anyone to disprove that. Ethnicity and religiosity has been our major issue in Nigeria and politicians are using them as weapon to stay afloat.

If that's the case, it means that the best system of government for Nigeria would be the one designed along those ethnic lines. Nigeria cannot be successful unless you exploit those ethnic lines.

Nigerian leaders don't know how to get Nigeria to work!!

Exactly.

The Fulanis are already on it. Kwara State is in the bag, Ogun and Oyo in view.
Enugu and ebonyi is gone, Fulani kill Ur men and rape Ur women every day, make the people escape to south west every night

That's why Nigeria should break into these three ethnic groups to have peace and progress. Without the citizens' loyalty to the national vision/mission (if there's anything like that) how can Nigeria stand and survive.
Re: Nigerians Are More Loyal To Their Ethnic Groups Than Nigeria – Goodluck Jonathan by softy(m): 9:03am On Nov 28, 2024
It is true.
This problem was amplified through his tenure.
He promoted ethnicity and practiced partisan administration strategies so well before Buhari did.

Bitter truth so far.......

If you've been privileged to travel across different states in Nigeria, you'd know what uncle Jona is saying is nothing but the truth.....
He gave highest number of political offices to bayelsa state ahead of any other state and South South ahead of any other region, he is not innocent too. They are only aware of the problems when they are out of the office. Hypocrite
Re: Nigerians Are More Loyal To Their Ethnic Groups Than Nigeria – Goodluck Jonathan by DeOTR: 9:51am On Nov 28, 2024
Exactly how it should be. It's better we model our system of government to reflect this reality. Our problems arise from the fact that we trying to ignore this obvious reality to claim one nation, one people. That's the real bane of our very existence

Even in your ethic group,there is division. The Oyo/Ibadan believes they are d original Yoruba, the Ega/Ijebu feel they are d enlightened while d Ekitis which are generally believed by these previous two to be very local and uninformed think they are d most educated.

When Ekiti man speak Yoruba in front of Ibadan man, he'll seems like lol

I rather stick to one Nigeria.
Stick to one Nigeria and suffer more.

Igbos are the worst tribalistic and religious fanatics among all Nigerians. They see tribe and religion before anything else even when abroad .
Whenever I meet an Igbo person in the US, the first thing rhwy talk about is what tribe you are and next is " oh you are a Muslim"?
Even Oyinbo don't care but Igbos from Nigeria cares about what religion you belong too.
Very annoying and pathetic.
Just shut up you dirty, stinking mouth. yorubas are worst everywhere. even in UK, they will not tell you when there are job openings, they will not give you any information, they will also lie to you. they will speak yoruba and gossip about you in yout presence. speak about your wicked yoruba tribe first. yorubas don't even ask what tribe are you. once u speak with them and u don't have their yoruba tongue, they will sideline you. Ask anybody who is from any other tribe outside yoruba and igbo in UK, how they view yoruba people in UK, you will get your answer.

This segregation happens in every tribe, then tribes will do it to each other, we think we are rid of that mindset because we are talking about Nigeria.

Well said, Anambra people see themselves as the real igbos but you factor the population of Igbos you'd begin to wonder what kind of sophistication is that.
I was in a hotel in Enugu, decided to scan radio stations and tuned in to Dream FM, heard them talking about who's the real lgb0 and who's not.
That program annoyed me to my bones I turned it off.

How was the mindset before almagation?
Don't you think it's this almagation that resulted to all the problems we are having
The mindset was there before the amalgamation, it was not solved because those who carried out the amalgamation did it for their interest.
It's high time we go back to the drawing board and strengthen those things that were fundamentally wrong in the process of formation or dissolve the formation, one of the must be done for progress to kick in.

Shut up
Awolowo called Nigeria 'a mere geographical expression'.
He always believed that you must be a good representative of your tribe before you can be a good citizen of Nigeria.
I don't remember ever coming from same tribe as Awolowo.
And Nigeria is a mere geographical expression, he's not wrong in being a good representative of ur tribe, but when ur tribe comes first before the country, then u are wrong.

You are right. They are all making noise of the so called separation. They want Biafra but still interested in becoming the president of Nigeria. Let them not contest any elective positions from henceforth to 2027 general election. They should also not participate on any national programs like immunization, census and others. Let them stop getting federal government jobs and others already should resign and those appointed as board members or chairman should step down, then the world will know they truly want and independent nation. You can't eat your cake and want to also have it.
They are not ready to do that, someone posting about Biafra will leave SE to other parts of Nigeria to start a business and spend his life there but screaming Biafra on social media and asking you to support, I should support you in what sense?
When your movement is strong and the govt refuse to respond positively, then we can support, nobody supports social media noise.

Oga, the problem is not disloyalty, it's corruption.
Plain and simple
Corruption will naturally die in a society where citizens put their country first.
You are not even putting your country ahead first just like the next door neighbor, just like the whole street, just like the whole LGA but you are expecting corruption to disappear, where has it happened before in history?
Corruption came because of selfish interests.

You can't have loyal people when their is not equity and justice
We can't have loyal people when people are not putting their environment first.
It's that simple but Nigerians love shifting blames without taking any form of responsibility.

Its true what Jonathan is saying.... because see what voting based on tribalism, ethnicity, religion has caused nigerians now .. poverty, hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living, unemployment..all this because of voting in an incompetent president based on tribalism, ethnicity and religion...it's a pity

Humans will always find ways to be divided, even in our families. Those feeding on bigotry will still separate even if their common tribe own this country. Na then you go know say Ijebu Yoruba different from Kwara own and Ebonyi Igbo different from Abia own..... Make we rest abeg.

That is why racism too cannot stop and stereotypes cannot stop
