Tribalism

bigpicture001:
But how did peter obi became this special nationwide .


Honestly, it beats me!

Look at the alleged “real picture” again.

DONT you think that the carpet grass or “grass” is too green for a stadium that is not hosting any international games,

I think the one you called fake is the real one.

Ezeama400:
You mean the attached below?

😂 😂

I thought ALL South Easterners are Billionaires and every other region and tribe are suffering?

This is strange.

God help her

Gaslighting as usual. You better go back and read my posts.

Biafra is an Igbo thing. That one or two joined the Biafran army is not enough to say the minorities were part of the Biafran struggle.

You forgot that the Biafran army were part of the Nigerian army and it is normal for one or two to choose sides. The things is almost ALL civilian Igbos supported the Biafran struggle, it is NOT same with the civilian minorities.

Open your mind and stop the gaslighting the your useless Ojukwwu and his cohorts input in you while growing up. It is why the Igbo man of today will claim that everybody hates him and NEVER answering the question about mentioning those that he truly loves.

Irony1:
See you keep contradicting yourself. You are now calling Asaba minorities but you lumped them as igbos. You are the one gaslighting, again my point is clear stop trying to twist Biafra as an igbo thing. Minorities fought on the side of Biafra. The whole idea behind Asaba massacre was an intent to annihilate a people that is the genocide it is different from indiscretions in the battlefield. Please you are an amateur when it comes go gaslighting and twisting facts. We didn't commit any crime to minorities that would be termed as genocide.

God bless you. The dont want to admit that their useless and foolish Biafran army and their dumb leader - Ojukwu also committed crime, even more crime against the minorities. Yet they are looking for apologies for Asaba in oder to get theirs for Biafra.

Briafran soldiers were even more deliberately brutal to the minorities. Whatever the FG did to the minorities were just mistakes because of the Biafran soldiers that infiltrated the minorities communities

It is always manipulation and gaslighting

Wickedfacts:
Obinna Onwunyi, cry me a river.

See what you people did.

So why is Biafra asking for formal apology from the FG know fully well that she(Biafra) also committed same crime to the minorities?

Asaba people and the rest minorities are not even as loud and vocal as you igbos when it comes to the demanding an apology.

Nobody should apologise to anybody. You Igbos should STOP raising the issues of apology and stop instigating and gaslighting others to demand for it, as as avenue to get yours.

That is just my point

Irony1:
You see how you people contradict yourself. It is now convenient to call Asaba people igbos whenever Asaba massacre is mentioned, but one the topic of Anioma comes in you will switch. Igbos didn't do anything to minorities when it comes to the contect of genocide that FG didn't do worse to. I tackled one guy who said that Biafran army wiped out a village in Benin axis I asked him for dates when it happened and from what he said the dates he face showed clear lies, as the Biafran army had blown up the Niger Bridge and had retreated before that so called date of atrocities he mentioned. There is a difference between acts of Indiscretion and deliberate violence designed to wipe out people do not use minorities to gaslight igbos when Asaba massacre is discussed. Adekunle also executed minorities in Abak in present day Akwa Ibom state I do not see you talking about that.

A war was declared No Victor, No Vanquished. Why are the Igbos still calling for an official apology from the FG?

The Igbos are still the ones spearheading the call for apology for Asaba, because they believe that once the FG apologize for Asaba massacre, then they can easily get a Biafra apology.

The question remains, are the Igbos also going to apologize for what they did to the minorities that were not part of the war and pay damages?Because, whatever is good for the goose should also be good for the gander.

Irony1:
But Federal troops also killed minorities in the war as well. Did they apologized to you? Make una stop all this rubbish. Most of the minorities were those who were suspected of sabotage, even igbos were also killed or jailed based on sabotage. Ask so many Onitsha people what they experienced following Zik's cross over to the federal side.

Would the Igbos also apologize to us, the minorities that were never part of the war and used as human shields?

Men who refused to join the war and carry guns, were executed. Women were forced to carry bullet boxes and many were raped.

Would the Igbos apologize to us too and pay damages?

Quelme:
Is like this news channel Arise is the mouthpiece of IPOB/ESN. Anything to whip up tribal and ethnic sentiment, they are always ready to propagate it.

How many of such cases have you seen compared with how many women do that “my money is my money and your money is our money?

Jennyclay:
please stop all these

I know a situation whereby this man lazy called a family meeting and said the wife’s salary must enter his account else he would end the nonsense marriage.

What will you say about that?

Jaynotifier:
Right from the onset that 50/50 arrangement was infused to scatter the marriage. The man probably sensed the lady may be coming into the marriage for an ulterior motive hence enshrined that "landmine" of 50/50. A man that loves the wife wholeheartedly will allow the wife to intervene to take care of some house bills on her own like some sensible does.

Don’t try this when you’re abroad, else you are cooked at old age

When you think say craze man no dey Nairaland, boom - you see one pop up from nowhere 😂😂😂

TheBreastSucker:
I don't see why this should stop you from relocating.

As for me I'm not going anywhere, the last time I travelled outside the country for 3 weeks I almost died cos I could not get bress to sok and I was scared of approaching white ladies so they won't accuse me of sexual molestation

Is this not a form of vote buying. We all know the reason behind these gesture - softening people's hearts to vote for him because of what he gives and not because of what he can do when he gets to power

Since Iran doesn’t want ships to pass through the strait of homuz and believe that it can still sell its oil through it, the best response is what the USA has done - block the blockade. Let’s see how far they will survive without trade.

Kemetian:
IF ANY OF YOU HAD A WORKING BRAIN, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A ''GAME'', AND HAS POTENTIALLY TERRIFYING, DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD INCLUDING YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

WHEN YOU ARE DONE ''LAUGHING'' GO ON THE NEWS AND READ WHAT ECONOMIC EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT WHERE THE WORLD WILL BE IN 3 TO 6 MONTHS IF THIS CONTINUES AND ESCALATES.

IT WILL WIPE THAT LAUGH OFF YOUR FACE.

LITTLE KIDS WITH NO COMMON SENSE.

TRADE ROUTES ARE GETTING BLOCKED AND YOU ARE ''LAUGHING''.

BECAUSE THE SIDE YOU SUPPORT BLOCKED THE TRADE ROUTE THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE.

WHEN FUEL PRICE HITS N5,000 A LITRE AND STARVATION SETS IN DUE TO LACK OF FERTILISERS ETC, DON'T BLAME TINUBU, OK?

TRUMP WILL HAVE HIS BELLY FULL AND HIS WHOLE LIFE PROTECTED.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

No other schools from other regions participated. It’s specifically for the South East. So the headline is sensational

Inspiration2017:
Deductions from the Report

1. A Historic but Carefully Hedged Claim

THE HEADLINE ANNOUNCES A "CLEAN SWEEP" BY SOUTH-EAST SCHOOLS, BUT THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE QUIETLY UNDERMINES ITS OWN CONFIDENCE. The phrase "while the full official breakdown of all winning schools in the 2026 national finals is yet to be publicly released" is a significant caveat — it means the central claim of the story is unverified at the time of publication. The article is reporting a result before the results are officially out, which raises questions about sourcing and journalistic rigour.

2. Scale of the Competition Lends Weight to the Achievement

WITH OVER 10,000 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING NATIONALLY, A TOTAL SWEEP ACROSS ALL CATEGORIES — IF CONFIRMED — WOULD INDEED BE EXTRAORDINARY. The sheer size of the competition pool means the South-East's performance cannot be casually dismissed as luck or small-sample fluke. If the claim holds up, it deserves serious analytical attention.

3. Named Institutions Are Regional, Not National Winners

THE SCHOOLS SPECIFICALLY CITED — DIAMOND SPECIAL COLLEGE AND DIVINE RAYS BRITISH SCHOOL — ARE FRAMED CAREFULLY. Diamond Special College "clinched the primary category in a major 2026 regional mathematics olympiad," not the national competition. Divine Rays is described as a "previously documented" national winner, not a 2026 winner. In other words, neither school is being named as a confirmed 2026 national finalist. The article uses associated prestige to imply a national result it cannot yet confirm.

4. The South-East's Academic Culture Is Structurally Significant

REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS SPECIFIC COMPETITION, THE ARTICLE POINTS TO SOMETHING REAL AND WELL-DOCUMENTED. The South-East geopolitical zone — particularly Anambra, Imo, and Enugu states — has historically placed exceptional emphasis on formal education, academic competition, and STEM achievement. The Igbo cultural value placed on educational attainment, the density of private and mission schools in the region, and long-standing competitive training traditions all support the claim that South-East dominance in national academic competitions is pattern-based, not accidental.

5. Institutional Collaboration Gives the Competition Legitimacy

THE JOINT ORGANISATION BY NIGERIAN TULIP INTERNATIONAL COLLEGES AND THE NATIONAL MATHEMATICAL CENTRE LENDS CREDIBILITY TO THE COMPETITION'S FRAMEWORK. This is not an informal or loosely structured event — it carries federal institutional backing, which means results, when officially released, will carry meaningful national weight.

6. The Article May Be Partly Anticipatory or Promotional

THE OVERALL STRUCTURE — MAKING A SWEEPING CLAIM, NAMING REGIONAL SCHOOLS POSITIVELY, ATTRIBUTING DOMINANCE TO SYSTEMIC FACTORS, THEN ADMITTING OFFICIAL RESULTS ARE UNAVAILABLE — FOLLOWS A PATTERN MORE CONSISTENT WITH REGIONAL PRIDE JOURNALISM OR EARLY PROMOTIONAL REPORTING THAN CONFIRMED INVESTIGATIVE COVERAGE. The author "ariesbull" and the 1:46am timestamp suggest this may be an online forum post or blog-style article rather than a vetted newspaper report.

7. A Broader Implication for Nigeria's Education Policy

IF THE SOUTH-EAST'S PERFORMANCE IS AS DOMINANT AS CLAIMED, IT RAISES A LEGITIMATE POLICY QUESTION. What are other geopolitical zones — particularly the North-East and North-West, which consistently trail in educational indices — doing differently, and what structural interventions could close the gap? The report, intentionally or not, frames the South-East as a model rather than simply a winner.

---

SUMMARY VERDICT: The report contains a credible and culturally grounded argument about South-East academic strength, but it is built on an unconfirmed result. It should be read as a strong early indicator or regional celebration piece rather than a verified national record. The deductions it supports are real; the specific claim it makes is still pending official confirmation.

Funny enough, the competition is for schools in the South East ALONE.

It is not recognized or organized by the FG. It is private only. The states in the SE on gave recognition after the competition has ended

gideonvalor98:
Y'all talk to much. This una pride, ego, and arrogance wouldn't allow you to be tolerated in a sane society. You can't have this kind of attitude and you'll say you want to rule in a country with diverse faith, culture, language etc. You'll be view as a threat.
There's no time even before this present political tension that you southeast people have this kind of mentality. You celebrate your wins to spite others...you use your 'little ' possession to spite others. In a place you're accommodated, you'll be feeling pompous and doing as if you're doing your host a favour. Y'all need to get this act out of your system. You inherit this trait from generation to generation, and it's destructive. Yet you'll end up cry tribalism, marginalization, bigotry etc.
I do say this; if other major tribes have been paying you back on your own coin,you'll have stop this nonsense way back.

No other schools from other regions participated. It’s specifically for the South East

jeff1993:
Normal we lead the way!!!




Forget say Awo fess open doors for him brother with free education, we don overtake them. Even in there domain, na we dey carry first

No other schools from other regions participated. It’s specifically for the South East, so WHY that sensational headline?

Ofcourse it would baffle you since you could not comprehend the message therein

judewrites:
How do you expect evil to overturn evil?

This your statement baffles me 😐

Only a wise thinking Government will act pragmatically in solving the security crisis.

Where are the Babalawos, Juju, Witches and Wizards of the land in all of these?

Where and What is their usefulness to the land at this critical and perilous times?

God help us

HgAkpobomeEr:
The report about Kanu's conversion is unverified.

Did Nnamdi Kanu verify that of Buhari when he claimed that he is Jubril Al-Sudan? Till date, MNK's dumb followers in Aba still believe that Buhari died in 2017.

So it is okay, if others claim he has converted to Islam and praying 7 times a day.

Foolish MNK

VOsimhen144:
Nnamdi Kanu the real freedom fighter
Nobody can silence this guy.
I like his energy

MNK is on his way to prison. Go and verify

She doesnt look like someone who is in the last stage of cancer.

Lets say you are right that Nigeria "failed" him. After he had managed to "escape" Nigeria, is it thesame Nigeria that made him to go into drugs and other nefarious activities after arriving that Country?

MadamVanessa:




Nigeria failed him.

If Nigeria have a working system, provides the basic things that a government is meant to provide for it's citizens, tell me why someone will dare the consequences and still peddles drugs.

This is the name behind it - Cyprian Edward-Ekpo, a Nigerian

So you should understand that it is not the US.

They should advice Trump first. If he listens, we will follow their advice.

Not true. He is just curious

Softmirror:
It is always funny when men think the are strong and powerful lol 😂. IT'S A WOMAN'S WORLD!!!

Small show of your flesh and the lose control.

You made a brilliant submission.

However, have you considered the depth of the rot of the refineries that a lot of people considered not possible to be revived, as the possible reason for the postponement of the start of the refineries?

Have you also considered that Buhari is the one that actually removed the subsidy, hence created the ground work for these successes by budgeting for fuel subsidy for just six months out of a full year budget cycle?

Think about these and you will realize that truly Buhari is the one that did the dirty job and an unsung hero.

SmartyPants:
Nigerians are partly unfair to Buhari bu let's also be fair to Tinubu because these projects could have and should have been finished under Buhari but they kept getting extended and I have no doubt that if he were president today we would be talking about another extension. Fundamentally, we must realize that one of the key drivers of the completion of these refineries is the removal of fuel subsidy and thus, the disincentive for the oil cabal to sabotage their rehabilitation.

However, Buhari did try and he gets partial credit for removing fuel subsidy too.

It is really unfair to Buhari, as I have not seen or read from anywhere where a little credit is given to him on these refineries that have started working, most especially on the Port Harcourt and warri refineries. I just feel Nigerians are unfair to him.
