and pls, If you knew anything about the war on Iraw

SADDAM HUSSIEN HIMSELF said he wanted US to believe he had weapons of mass destruction when he never had it,
Osama's guilty as charged, even in death.

Sadam's guilty as charged but the bolded does not absolve Bush, his ilks and by extension his imperial buddies the blame for invading Iraq. They knew what they were doing all along. I know u've seen Fahrenheit 9/11

PoliticsRe: Are Southerners Weak Minded? by yiboboy(op): 5:45pm On May 01, 2011
efisher:
@ OP first let me commend you for your thought provoking post. You have also shown yourself to be one of the few that have successfully transformed to become "Nigerian".

Now to your question. I would prefer to say that the "southerners" are being tolerant and not weak minded. Strength is not in how much you can destroy but in how much you can build. The reasons for this tolerance are not too difficult to see. I believe religion and western orientation have also played a role.

A level of trust has been built over time and we can see the evidence in simple examples. Take an average house in the south for example, who will most likely be employed as a gateman or security man? You want to buy suya on your street; who do think of? You want to buy dollars, euros or pounds; who do you think of? These three examples have something in common: TRUST. We have somehow been able to accept these people as part of us to some extent. However, provocations like the recent one can breed mistrust and new fault lines can develop.

Regarding this matter of Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw etc, I detest tribalism so much that I hardly ever make comments on issues raised on the subject. This is probably the first time I am making a direct comment on the matter. I believe people who keep on bashing others based on tribe are simply operating a lower level of reasoning. I often ignore such posts. My advice is for such people to GROW UP. I have very good friends from all over Nigeria and their tribe has nothing to do with their personality. You can be born anywhere on earth but it is up to you to build your own character. I have the same ideology on issues like marriage also. You can get married to any one on earth be it Indian, Russian, American, Hausa, Yoruba, Mixed breed or whatever. It is the character of the person and the understanding between parties that matters most. I rest my case.
Your likes give this country hope, I also want to believe there're more like you out there. I really don't believe most posters on here are what they portray, considering most are young and impressionable.

They've probably been fed with bullocks for so long, the thin divide between fact and fantasy seems hazy to them. The real guilty ones are the elderly ones who keep distorting history and feeding the younger generation with hate and bigotry. However, we have the right to choose who we grow up to be. (like you rightly noted in your post)
