Ah yes, Lord Lugard, the guy who left over 100 years ago but somehow still attends our tribal meetings, rigs our elections, and writes our hate tweets.

Funny how countries like India, Indonesia, South Africa, and even Papua New Guinea (with over 800 ethnic groups!) are managing their diversity, imperfectly, yes, but at least they're trying.

Meanwhile, we’re here blaming a long-dead British man while proudly fueling divisions with our own hands.

Softmirror:
Within an ethnic group there is discrimination which is even a cultural heritage passed on. A good example is the ou't caste system popularly known as Os'u. So what do you have to say?

I don’t think I need to educate you that this OS’u you mentioned as been abolished. Or when last did you hear that someone was banished from the community? OS’u is cultural. And culture in itself changes over time. This acknowledges the dynamic nature of culture, it is not static. Cultures evolve due to technology, globalization, migration, education, conflict, and generational shifts.

Nigeria never grew into a nation

So why won't their be tribalism? We trying to keep together a union that does not work

People forget thst Nigeria is just a British colonial experiment, and that experiment failed a long time ago.

Nigeria should have been dissolved a long time ago. Trying to keep together people heavily divided along ethnic, religious and ideological lines is nothing but trying to preserve disaster

Obiedun:
The evil that Nnamdi Kanu did in promoting ethnicity and hatred can never be forgotten. Things were not as bad as this until he started his hate speech

If Nigerians actually loved themselves, Nnamdi would not be able divide anyone

There was never any unity to begin with

According to you even when it is public knowledge that it rises it's head when people chose to marry in where it is being practiced. Many about to get married got it cancelled as a result.

As long as you are not encroaching into the boundaries of others and are building skyscrapers within your own boundaries

Since there are boundaries in Nigeria and nobody is supposed to encroach on other people's boundaries, why do you people then promote this obvious fraud called 'one Nigeria'?

Nobody is to blame. There’s just more political competition between the tribes. We are all defending the political interests of our tribes. And with the introduction of internet and democracy, things get a bit quarrelsome.

There was no internet or multi-party democracy during the time of jara suya.

The issue of unity in Nigeria has little to do with ethnic diversity. In fact, even within individual ethnic groups, internal divisions run deep, sometimes deeper than those between different ethnicities in the country. Supremacy struggles and political power dynamics often fuel these rifts.

Take the Yoruba people as an example: many from Ekiti tread cautiously when dealing with people from Ijebu, especially regarding marriage. Lagosians often look down on those from Ondo, branding them as “ara ilu oke” (people from the hinterlands). Even within Osun State, the longstanding rivalry between Ile-Ife and Modakeke remains unresolved.

Even among the ibos, Enugu and Anambra, IMO vs Eboyin state. There are intra ethnic crisis.

So when some come online to blame Nigeria’s problems solely on the Igbos or the Hausas, it’s not just misguided, it’s ridiculous. If Nigeria were to split today, we would quickly discover that there’s no magical unity even among so-called Oduduwa descendants. Would we blame Lord Lugard for that too?

Let’s stop acting like sophisticated morons and start addressing the real issues: ego, greed, and the obsession with power.

Cyberterror:
The tribe that lost the civil war are to be blamed. They are always playing victim and crying wolf where there is none.

All of sudden ( Yoruba is a no man’s land) became popular and Lagos APC campaign achievement and some gullible Yorubas bought into it 😁😁

Can someone show us where the Igbos called Lagos a no man’s in 2023 or prior to 2023 both online or offline…. can someone post a screenshot of it here as proof of this allegation, you will never get an answer to this question 😁😁🤣

helinues:
So the acclaimed educated southerners want to blame Buhari for herdsmen crisis in Southern Nigeria when he was the president.

What's the usefulness of the education of the southerners if some few illiterate herdsmen can come to their land and sack their farmers?

So,what will be the usefulness of your education if armed robbers come knocking on your door?

That's part of what we are saying. If you love your country, you will not be where you are today. Even in the east see what you guys are doing to yourselves but it's easy for you to blame others for the woes you caused yourselves

Factcheck0001:
I guess Buhari was the one that was telling nnamdi kanu to insult all tribes right on radio?

Abi u forgot t how nnamdi kanu called us derogatory names?

Nnamdi kanu campaigns started mainly due to buharis nepotistic and Fulani supremacist tendency

[quote author=Factcheck0001 post=136306902]this was nnamdi kanu as far back as 2013

So it was APC n Tinubu that told nnamdi kanu to say all these in 2013 right?


U ibos started it, ask yourself why were we not talking about bigotry n hate when Buhari was president for 8 years?

It was simply because the fulanis didn't push back but now that yorubas are pushing back that's y we are here today.

U people can't keep bullying people n expect things to go smoothly for u, Ur greatest mistake was trying to bully yorubas like u did to fulanis

the best decision we make is to separate.

What country? The failed British colonial creation called Nigeria?

‎The foundation of it all was wapped, I guess lugard was two faced in is creation.

What have people done about it? You have gained independence since 1960, right? What steps have you taken to make it work? You people always criticize the British government but then you run to their country, you are proud to speak their language, you are proud to wear their dress etc. You have turned yourselves to their slaves. Please stop complaining.

Nnamdi kanu was largely unknown in 2013 n would have not achieved prominence without the emergence of BUHARI

So what was Col Victor Banjo's reward for supporting Biafra?

He's been dead for 99 years.
