First of all I want to apologise for calling you guys Afonjas, Flat heads and Pedophiles. I just wanted something that will catch your attention because tribalism is turning out to be a big problem

I want to start by saying we are one, we are all humans and we all want the same, a peaceful and fulfilling life

You'll see some people here associating certain evil things to a tribe e.g

A man in Ogun was arrested due to killing a person to participate some rituals

Then you'll see comments like 'Ah it's them again the Afonjas, Yoruba demons!'

A guy is arrested for trying to smuggle drugs into a country
Ah the flat heads have started again, wannabe israelites, they are so greedy!

A man in Kano rapes a 4 years old girl

The northerners are all Pedophiles!

Some people who claim to be intelligent will come here 'arguing', yet fail to understand that a person is evil because he is evil NOT because of its tribe.
Instead of condemning what the person did, the tribe will be attacked. At the end of the day the discussion won't be about the crime anymore but will literally turn into a tribal war.

Instead of creating unity we are busy creating hatred unwillingly or willingly.

Some will say this is for fun. Yet this type of 'fun' encourages hatred. Either you like it or not this type of 'fun' makes you associate certain things with a tribe. It wouldn't be about an individual anymore. It would all be about the tribe. How do you expect the younger generations to think logical when they are brought up with this kind of 'fun'?!

You all call yourself Nigerians, yet everything about you is screaming we are not one. Even if something happens, it wouldn't be a man did this, a lady did this rather it would be an ibo man did this, a yoruba lady did this. Even your politicians say e.g 'Yorubas have been betrayed'. How is this a country if you don't even see yourself as 1

Votes aren’t based on ideological affiliations or preferences, but on tribal identities yet you want Nigeria to grow? You'd rather do business with someone from the same tribe than more experienced individuals who could have been a better fit for a company?

Tribalism judges you by stereotypes , encourages hatred, gives room for discrimination , promotes selfishness and encourages hypocrisy

I believe in beauty in diversity. We are all humans with feelings, who strive for the same thing and we should work towards it instead of fighting against each other. Trying to prove who is the best in this and that is leading us to nowhere. Instead we should try learning from each other and also learn how to grow together. Also a person shouldn't be judged by its tribe but CHARACTER. I say no to tribalism
#saynototribalism

Hahahahahaha. I rushed laughed at what you wrote

Dey keep nairaland interesting

Wrong section mademoiselle.

That name checkers thingy has me laughing all day... I don't think people take it too serious. Outside NL, we recognise the need to respect our tribes.

Brown roofs and flatt!es should grow up

Dnt take things serious here jare, pretty sure most people don't,

The ish be say, irrespective of social networks, tribalism don tey since Lord Lugard's time literally, na to dey hope make we stand above am(tribalism) shaaa.

Very lovely opinion. You're absolutely correct. The politics/crime section is riddled with these tribalists . .they're painful to watch. They fail to empathize with victims or offer any meaningful contribution . .Belittling other tribes will never make your own tribe better. Tribalism is Nigeria's bane, and it should be highly discourage. Keep it up.

I love name checkers for the funny comments

Gosh the kind speed I use enter here ehe

Op nice write up but I don't think people take it too serious

That makes NL fun

I remember the day I was reading one particular thread about snake and my big sister took my phone to know why am so engrossed that I didn't even noticed her presence
