Ui an an igbo person from Eastern Nigeria, and I can say that it is really hard to see no justice given to the victims of the war till date, Hausa and Fulani massacred men women and children in pogroms across the North then Nigeria declared war on us, worse the Nigerian government hasn't uttered a word of apology. Tjhe most painful part is that the history concerning the war isnt even taught in schools probably because they want igbos to forget, but how am I supposed to forget that my grand father was butchered by Nigerian soldiers and my grandma gang raped? How am I supposed to get over the fact that I lost 5 uncle's to that war all because a section of the country was insecure and grew blood thirsty
😢.my brother...it's a Very painful experience....that Trauma will always be there. It's inseparable.
I’m Igbo too it hurts, but that’s the consequence of war.. 😭
Tribalism is deep rooted in Nigeria and I doubt if it can be eradicated in the near future. People votes along ethnic lines,you go for job interview and gets rejected because you're not from a particular tribe, as a matter there is a word like indigenes and non- indigenes in a state owned universities. Non- indigenes pay a higher tuition fees than the indigenes, you even gets discount from a market woman simply because you can her language.
Not every ethnic group
Bro, that hostess is so good at calming and organizing that group.
In Nigeria, the aura of Nigerian civil war of 1967-70 is still hanged in the air, and tribalism was born out of that. This issue of tribalism can be eliminated gradually if we are sincere as Nigerians and uphold the notion of unity in diversity at high esteem.
I'm a Biafran with no disrespect to anyone else in Nigeria.
In Nigeria you are named as your tribe. In another country in Africa you are named as Nigerian. Outside of Africa and the rest of the world you are named as an African
👏🏾
🙄
Could be said of any people of the world
I just want the South-East (Ndi Igbo) to have their own nation! Let the rest of the groups keep their “Nigeria” abeg
U really don't have Nigeria at heart
@@Oghosa_Praise make una carry una country dey go, its not by force.
Nigeria is always tribalistic when it comes to politics, order than that we are cool,in our social life we roll with anybody regales we don't care were you are from or what you do, and that's the reason why we dominate the continent the most in various fields of life.🇳🇬💯❤️
Tribalism is one of Nigeria's biggest problems. For example, the 1st time I ever heard of Bola Tinubu, Nigeria's current president was in a newspaper interview in the 90's where he openly declared that he was 1st of all a Yoruba man before anything else. He's not alone. Many Nigerians think this way.
It's pride my dear.…one tribe thinks it's always better than the other..hmmmm
They're supposed to think that way because Europeans created the country of Nigeria
This is good there should be more debate regarding such issues and the more people express themselves the better the understanding of each other's views and their understanding as well
What an enlightenment. I love the responses from them
We can overcome tribalism by understanding our history, experiences and respecting our differences. We need to understand these are all systems designed to separate us because unity equals power and power is transformative . Understand we achieve more together and tribalisms primary objective is to divide us.
This is one reason why there is high competitive culture in Nigeria which has its upsides.
Same in Ghana but people dont let it out 😂😂😂
Really?? Interesting!
@@wahabodusola6484 oh yes
The reality is the British created Nigeria, the people living in Nigeria did not agree to live together.
France is for French
Germany is for Germans etc .. Belgium has three main languages or ethnic groups, Dutch, French and another.
But Africa is being forced to live together with people who don’t have the same values . ..
the Fulani guy who spoke earlier saying Igbos don’t have a central government and they were fighting amongst themselves, that is a colonial watered history he is repeating, the Europeans in other to justify their invasion of African communities put out a false narrative that the Africans were killing one another.
The French/ English war lasted more than a century, War of Roses.
Nigeria is a country with different nations living together..
Imagine guys If USA has people from Afghanistan, Brazil , Saudi living in the same country speaking different languages and not practicing true federalism…. Tax payers sponsoring muslins going on hajj to Saudi… a Christian can be burnt alive in her dorm room and Nobody will be arrested… is that a country.
@davidchiazor You are wrong. Which other country didn't Britain, France, spain or Portugal create? Of course Nigerians agreed to live together, otherwise there wouldn't have been those constitutional conferences in the 1950's leading upto independence on October 1st 1960. What else do you think was being discussed about among the leaders of each region and ethnic groups with the Colonial masters gathered in UK, if not how to live together? There was disagreements, if not independence would have come before 1960. Even Southern Cameroon voted to join French Cameroon in a plebiscite to leave Nigeria in 1961 October, after being part of Nigeria throughout years of British rule. What happened in Nigeria is that the military struck on January 15th 1966 in a bloody coup d'etat that brought about so many problems leading to counter coups and more problems like restructuring, nepotism, Tribalism, constitutional amendments etc.

It's nice to see we are all watching the same videos. I had seen this maybe a month ago now
The guy from Plateau state said my mind. They keep on referring to us as hausa... We have our own tribes and languages in the Middle Belt.
Thank you @The Demouchets REACT for reacting to this video otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. I'm glad the youths are starting to discuss this sensitive issue of tribalism which exist not just in Nigeria but in many nations in Africa, although it seem to be worse in Nigeria as it is a weapon used mostly in politics by our corrupt leaders, at workplaces, in marriage, in education and even in church. I'm beginning to see many Igbo and Yoruba marriages online these days unlike back in the days when it is unheard of and hardly works due to parental pressures. Maybe such marriages would begin to bridge the divide and even discussions like the one they are having in this video
😂 marriage can't build that divide and no, the rate of marriage btw the two tribey is at all time low which is good.
Yo! You got this video😊
Keep it up guys, , You guys are my best couples, i really wish i can have this kinda of wife and family 🥰🥰🥰 , And lastly i love and enjoy your content here on CZcams... You guys are one of the best
Have some sense of proprietary please!
Much ❤️
I love this topic
It is a nice video. Most Americans thinks as Africa as a country and if not, see African countries as very united entities, which does not happen. People expect people inside the same african country to have similar cultural values, just because they share skin color, when not at all, very different in fact, most "Whatever" Americans are first americans and then "whatever" when they go outside USA, even if they feel deep roots to something, from the perception of everybody else, even if they do not like it, it is not like that.
I believe there is an "american black culture" towards most black people in america feel attached to and can relate in experiences, but that culture does not exist in Africa, because their experiences are not relatable to that, they had other completely different issues in their history. Fighting against colonialism is only a tiny part in their history and now with independence, in countries where there is black skin majority, issues are not about white vs black people like in USA, but about what my tribe did to your tribe in ancient history and about overcoming that and work together towards the future.
There's this idea I heard back in the days which I believe was made in other to make sure every tribes culture and traditions Should remain. Which was making sure that the first child should be of the father tribal name. And the second child should take the mother's name . But the issue is these idea is that the two children would have different cultures and traditions but there's always the possibility that these children can lean both cultures especially language. But culture can be thought in school to make sure they don't vanish . As the kids know both cultures because they have the abilities to learn many things
History helps us wen growing up then is a most to learn History from elementary to university , not any more world has changed
“Ethnic groups have a distinct language and culture. Tribes are offshoots of ethnic groups, meaning that they could speak a dialect of an ethnic group, or have a slightly different sub-culture of an ethnic group”
Love this topic and it's one we all have in Africa. But what I resonate with the most is the sister who said they are scared smaller tribes and their culture and traditions would vanish if they inter marry. I believe that I something I want to try and fix making sure no culture and tradition would ever vanish
Then how?
@@meso9851 I gave some ideas 💡 u can find it in the comments

23:18 Dion handled that point very diplomatically.
21:29 In college , I was told that you would use ethnic group not tribe for description. As far as I understand they should both mean the same thing.
Disclaimer: This will be a very long comment.
I have an Igbo friend from Uni. days who was dating a Yoruba girl, the relationship started to get really serious after we graduated, and the girl even got pregnant. The parents of my friend knew about the relationship but didn't say much at first because i think they thought it was just a fling, but when my friend came to tell them that she was pregnant, and that she seems like the girl he would like to be with forever, his parents vehemently refused, saying that they won't allow their child get married to someone from the Yoruba tribe... It got so bad that my friend was depressed for a long time, and the girl even made a decision to abort the child since everything was going haywire and she didn't want to be a single mother; when they finally broke up, the girl literally told him not to ever speak to her again... This shit happened just 3 years ago.
So will Tribalism ever end in Nigeria?, at this point in my life, i've just come to conclusion that it's a No, especially not between the 3 "major" tribes, the toxic systemic tribalistic hate, oppression and segregation between the 3 "major" tribes is bewildering, and i called it "systemic" because an outsider will not immediately notice it, but it's very much there... If i'm not mistaken, Nigeria has the highest amount of different ethnic groups of any country in the world, what a lot of Nigerians do not understand is how to appreciate our similarities, and respect our differences.
I'm from a minority ethnic group from the South-South region, a region made up of almost completely minority ethnic groups (most minority ethnic groups do not have tribalistic biases between each other); my ethnic group accounts for just about 2 million of the Nigerian population... Even though my region has the vast majority of the Petroleum that literally fuels the Nigeria economy, my ethnic group, and most of the minority ethnic groups in this region has been heavily marginalised and exploited. And why can't the minority ethnic groups in the South-South region do anything about it you may ask?, Well, marginalisation based on population numbers, the chances of someone from a minority ethnic group being in a high place of power is very low, so you mostly only see politicians from the 3 "major" ethnic groups holding the very powerful positions in the government... So it's not surprising to hear that only once in Nigeria's history has an individual from a minority ethnic group ever ruled the country, and the crazy thing was that he wasn't even elected in, that would be basically impossible; the former President died, and since he was the Vice, he automatically took over.
The deep rooted tribalism in Nigeria will never make this country succeed as one in the long run, the fact is the country doesn't have long anymore as a unit, and the split will be more than people even anticipate, because every region will completely want out; from the Republic Of Biafra in the South-East, to the Republic of Niger-Delta in the South-South, to Oduduwa, and Arewa, everybody will want out. In fact, a lot of people who didn't want out before, are now calling for a separation; for example, some Northern leaders now want out, and the North used to the biggest opposition against a Nigerian separation.
Our Kenyan girl doing us proud ❤
But why did she say " who better to ask than fellow Nigerians" as if she is Nigerian herself...
We don't care if she's from Mombasa. 🥱
@@evadtrent5607 so???
If Nigeria can just be like Edo State
U say Edo ,,wa Benin de fight esan,esan de fight isan, Benin de fight sekiri. Pls ooo Edo is worst ,just one state fighting themselves
@buchistanx5807 oga you no know wetin you dey talk. Edo is the most TOLERANT STATE in Nigeria. Anyone who has actually stayed there will know. Benin and esan might not like each other, but when have you heard that esan and Benin are fighting. Which state in Nigeria is as diverse as Edo State? Since the fourth Republic, an esan man has not governed the state, and a large majority of the state (Benins included) have agreed that it's only right that Esan men be the candidates for governor in the major parties for election. And then the people vote for the best esan man. After Esan, Akoko Edo or Owan is next.
@buchistanx5807 esan, ishan, and isan are the same. There is no Sekeri or itsekiri in Edo State
@@buchistanx5807 I doubt you are from Edo, its one of the least tribalistic states . If it’s about the Election trust me it’s not that deep while I believe the Central should get the Gubernatorial seat cos of equity , It wont matter as long as whoever wins can do the job. Where’s your evidence there’s infighting 🧐?
@@buchistanx5807what is sekiri?
You guys should read up on the Biafran war. A major event that was influenced by tribalism
It's crazy no one brought it up
I've watched a documentary on it and read a lot about it too, it changed the way I looked at 'Nigeria' forever.
Nigeria can never be one progressive nation. Previous generation went to war to unite Nigeria which led to deaths of at least 6 million Igbos. Even though they won the war but failed to create a united and progressive Nigeria. There is a need to reconfigure all African nations created by Europeans. Africa needs a more monoethnic nations that will inspire nationalism and make it possible to punish corrupt politicians. Hamitc tribes like Fulani, Bini colluded with Europeans to capture and sell Semitic tribes like Igbos (Heebos, Hebrews) to slavery.
They won the battle but didn't win the war. Biafra still leaves on & we will continue to advocate for it till our secession happens. Tribalism is one cancer eating up Nigeria and the Igbos are the most hated & yet the most successful & the most needed in the country. When they say "in every part of the world, there most be a Nigerian." Igbos are actually the ones leading that pack.
The beauty of Nigeria is it's diversity, you are not aware yet! Wake Up! Without the Igbo's the rest is no Longer Nigeria! You don't understand how without one Tribe Nigeria is NOT Nigeria if You Remove Igbos there is no Nigeria.
Do you know how much Igbo's contribute to the development of Nigeria, no matter what you think am not even Yoruba but a Minority under Yoruba and I as a person Values ALL tribe.
So I get the Sentiment there was a dark past so as the rest of the world. But it should not define the future.
Nigeria will work and work well!♥️
@@PhebeBakre you are a moron for saying and thinking that Diversity is your beauty or your strength
Biafra will definitely come "land of rising Sun" matter of time.... igbos must go
Not all Igbo's want Biafra, most good don't. Go on the street and ask. It doesn't even make sense. Biafra is not about Igbo's anymore, it is about Individuals still holding grudge over what happened in the past.
In Nigeria we got over 250 ethics group and over 500 languages are been spoken in this country, that why this country suffered, some tribe only wants their tribe up there, even when they're aware he's incompetent, they'll vote their very own
I believe Nigeria can't be one,
it's like putting Germany and France and Spain with some other smaller nations calling them Nigeria, that's the issue
But I think the Nigerian youths are trying to be united
Nigeria can never be one progressive nation. Your ancestors thought the same and went to war to unite Nigeria. Even though they worn the war but failed to create a united and progressive Nigeria. Your ancestors, you and your children will live in failed country with no steady electricity and poor infrastructure. There is a need to reconfigure all African nations created by Europeans. Africa needs a more monoethnic nations that will inspire nationalism and make it possible to punish corrupt politicians.
Nope we don't have that many ethnic group but we do have that many tribes

Those populated tribes are the major problem we have in the country,
they claim the richest people came from their tribe, while they also have the poorest people, due to their population😅, and the other feel tribes don't care about the populated tribes bcu they make noises and arguement alot , expecially online.
Nigerian is massive, 500 African tribes living around the source of River Niger. It has always been tense and full of energy, I believe friction is bound to happen in such a place within tribes, what we can do is manage it, educate more people. You need to understand every group has a nationalistic view, some of these tribes could be countries or kingdoms on their own as it was far back. So remnants of history is still around. Some people feel disgruntled, some people also feel they could better on their own and many also want to stay together cus we have also forged a global identity
Fact when I say am from Kogi, people say am from the North (Hausa) …But am from Kogi state, Nigeria
24:02 Astute exposition by sierra.
I'm first to comment here 😊😊😅😅
Thanks for having your Notifications on! ❤️
Britain joined many different tribes who have nothing in common for most of their existence as a nation.
Elective positions, employments are based on tribes.
It’s normal for people to be idealistic about eradicating vices and prejudices rooted in tribalism until they are at the receiving end of it. The young people here ended up arguing at some point where they differ. The solution is not to live in denial but to face reality and focus on areas of common interest. You don’t have to apologise for your tribe or culture, just be smart enough to know that weaponising it does not only make life difficult for others, it makes you vulnerable. At the end of the day, a safe environment, infrastructure, food security, healthcare, education, clean water, stable electricity or lack of these things has got no tribe attached to it. Citizens or leaders who understand and focus on these things regardless of the reality of our diversity are the smart ones who can change the system step by step. Someday, the minority with compassion and focus will become the majority.
Tribalism would end with a new generation that isn’t exposed to it or that are exposed quickly to the world and could care less about such things. Sadly when it’s about to be less or non existent, people stoke the flames, using it as a tool for political or material gains.
If racism didn't end even after 400yrs. Do you think tribalism will end? 😂
I honestly think some people get lost in nationalism as well
It's very difficult for a multi generational, westernized black person to understand tribialism. Even the concept of Pan-Africanism was created by Europeans who group all people on the continent as group of colonial subjects. They didn't respect the boundaries that existed before colonialism.
Any tribe that becomes Pan-Africanist is in danger of annihilation. Being a Pan-Africanist in Nigeria will actually make you more careless in how you move because the worst thing you can do is forget that other groups will always view an a tribe/ethnic group.
Nigeria's biggest problem is tribalism, there is too much division in Nigeria because of tribalism, i was shocked as a Ghanaian when I first time saw two Nigerians fighting and insulting each other's tribes in Algeria i was sad, and I saw the same thing in France when two Nigerians hates each other because of their tribes and later I realized that this is what's going on in Nigeria, this very is sad
And it doesn’t exist in Ghana ?
@@dubemellit2932it is, but at a very minimal level, in fact, when two Ghanaians from different tribes meet in different countries they just see each other as Ghanaians they don't see anything else, and in Ghana, we see ourselves as Ghanaians first before our tribes, this is how it is in Ghana and Thanks to our first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Lol Nigerians are more united outside their country than any other country. That's just a fact. Your experience is just the very few ones that occur.
@@oluronbimichael4097 if it occurred just once, I would have believed what you are saying but it was two times in two different countries and that made me pay attention to what is going on in Nigeria and to my surprise it is worse, and I think your leaders should do something about it.
You could be lying we know you Ghanaians and how you are, no shade tho.
Tribalism is good so long as it’s not unjust.
In getting into Federal colleges back then,most family members had to change/modify their state of origins so as not to be deprived of admission when they get same score with people that owns Nigeria....now some one will now preach to me about a working and united Nigeria?
Very true. Tribalism is a big issue
Exactly
Ghanaians should thank Kwame Nkrumah for handling tribalism in Ghana. However, there are still some tribal practices that affect the development of Ghana.
Politics illuminates tribalism cos politicians use it to weaponize politics
Colonialism killed the humanity in the various ethnic groups in Nigeria. The ethnic groups did not come together out of their own volition to live as it is today. The colonial powers handed over Nigeria at independence to a chosen ethnic group in badly structured Nigeria .Till date , Nigeria's census figures are a matter of conjecture . The Northern part of Nigeria has continued to exploit this undue advantage to the detriment of the Southern part of Nigeria .With a political system that is not autochthonous to the nation state called Nigeria , democracy in Nigeria has been turned into brigandry .With weak institutions of democracy like the judiciary , etc. the reward system tends to reflect ethnic bias. In Nigeria ,today, there is this feeling of mutual distrust .
Facts!!!!!!! whenever I say I'm from benin, people assume I'm igbo especially as my surname is Ada short form of Adanihonwa.
And also stereotype, whenever I say I'm from Edo people say oh Edo oeolle
Nigerians identify people by their names. You have no point here
@pc2749 Well that was my point
@@pc2749 Exactly what you said, Nigerians identify people by their names
Same way You meet some people in South africa and they don't tell you they're south African..they first tell you they're either Sotho or Zulu befiore they tell you there are south Africans..Is it bad in identifying yourself as an individual firstly before identifying yourself as a group? If you were working at an office and you want to be paid Salary at the end of month, Lets say you're in a media department, Would your boss pay your salary as Media Department in general or would the payment be directed to your bank account individually?
This same tribalism BS affected I & my kid sister when We were trying to get into the University of Lagos around 19 years ago. Some of our mates from the West were given an admission at the time and We weren't. We had to write same exam twice befor We got in! Imagine Someone throwing jokes at you one day at a get-together saying something related to You being denied admission twice because You left your own locality to come pitch your tent in theirs. Nigeria is still dwelling on tribalism. It might Be hard to have that end.
Good for y’all. Same thing will be done in the east as well no one is a saint.. you could have sought admission from the east. I’m Igbo too
Tribalism comes from women then to family to street to town to province to state then to tribe and then to country or color.
The man who said especially Igbo fight amongst themselves first of you are not Igbo where did you get that history from?? Yes originally Igbo have no king and we're known to be peaceful. why don't you focus on the issues in your own tribe.
Exactly igbos are like Israelites in the Bible l love igbos
Checkout federal Jobs, school system approaches and many more...you will see Nigeria belongs to certain people which an igbo man is not part of.

Tribalism is like Gangs in America always fighting for dominant over territory.
Gangs/Tribes share an identity, typically linked to a name, and often other symbols. Members view themselves as Gangs/ Tribe.
Hmmmm
Tribes are not like gangs. Tribes have a unique identity: language, food, cultural values and norms. Their identity is not primarily linked to the name of their tribe or symbols, rather tribes are actually societies and were at some point, independent.
Wot? Gangs? What are you on about? 😭😭😭 terrible analogy. Tribes have their own language, culture, clothing history ..

Woman king is a movie about the slave trade story
I forgot about that one! Good perspective.
Southern Nigeria yes. With Northern Nigeria Muslims Noooooooo.
Very very true
Tribalism can never be eradicated from the fabrics of Nigeria. We don't really have anything in common
35:57 You guys would like this part
I cannot live in the north😢
Tribalism yes. Christian Muslim divide? That's a much bigger challenge
Sometimes it's a combination of both tribe and religion.
Tribalism can sometimes be as harmless as people just poking fun at one another but at times it gets bloody. A typical example is the nomadic tribe that's currently going around killing people and occupying their land and renaming the settlement. They appear to have people in high places who protect them so they continue these acts with impunity.
I'm African and I have no problem with word tribe
I get that we have major tribes and minor tribes but it icks me to the core that people don't put South South tribes as included. When I was in secondary school in Delta, Urhobo was put as a major tribe just to find out as I grew its not even included and then worst I'm Isoko thats seen as part of Urhobo which we're not really
Everything just icks me and yes most young people are trying to be together but we're alot in a country so half are for togetherness half believe their tribe is better and they don't listen (nor dey hear word at all) Its all very frustrating
And when we go outside the country to study or work they ask are you Nigerian? Then next question is where are you from? Then if someone is from Lagos, Ogun, etc type of Yoruba with them they'll start speaking Yoruba though they'll try to be inclusive cause its outside out country and we're trying to stand together but it's still frustrating
It is about what the people has done. There are tribes you marry from as a woman if there is no male child in the marrige that woman is not valued no matter the level of education of the man. Also some tribes from history shows that they are very greedy and can kill to have thier way. Slave trade was carried out by some of this greedy tribes just about 3 tribes out of over 500 tribes in Nigeria.
Me, im first Nigerian before being African
I know that Hausa guy, he's very tribslistic. Jibril should help shut that tribal mouth of his. We are familiar with his game 😂
He's actually fulani 😕
He's Fulani and immediately he opened his mouth I knew he was a tribalist 😂
It cant be eradicated cause it is deeply rooted in religion.
Ethnicity and religious bigotry is skin deep in nigeria and will be difficult to eradicate unfortunately
Ethnic group and tribe aren’t always the same thing. One ethnic group can be made up of multiple tribes.
Tribalism is a weapon in Nigeria, it affects education, politics,marriage, work, development and growth etc. Tribalism was weaponised in the just concluded election 2024. We were united across tribes for the end sars protest but used against each other during the election(2024), but we are all reaping the adverse results of the election irrespective of tribe, as it can be seen in the growing hunger, high standard of living, growing insecurity, high death rate, high cost of food, looting of vehicles carrying foodstuffs, bad governance, devaluation of the naira,kidnapping and killing.
Lol, keep cooking. Just because your candidate lost. Sore loser!
When your candidate was governing Anambra, there was poverty, robberies and kidnapping , right? SMH! Soludo touched on this when he became the governor. Keep deluding yourself.
No memory has been healed, instead, they were supposed. Also, the current events keeps suppressing and killing the Igbos. They have not done anything to make the Igbos feel welcomed in the country.
Can nogerians generally tell each other apart from looks? I mean does a youroba look different from a yigbo.
I know there are people who overlap but generally is there difference?
Yoruba's and igbos look different from each other only people who are familiar with the two ethnic groups we tell the difference
@@afrounite And ..the fact that there is intermarriages between the Yoruba and Igbos has made it a bit tricky. During the last election in Lagos the Igbos were majorly disenfranchised from voting and there was measures placed to enforce this. Unfortunately many Yoruba were affected cos they looked Igbo 😂 I know may who were prevented from voting
It’s a big problem in Africa
When you are told about Africa sold their kin...and made a decree not to speak of it..
It was tribalism
Every thing about Nigeria is tribalism
Nigeria can never overcome tribalism abeg we are different people
I don't think so. It's deep-rooted, and pervasive and the children are raised to hate other tribes.
Western ideology divided Nigerian, religion is the first the brought tribalism to Nigerian's,if band Christianity and Islam tribalism will disappear
You clearly do not know Nigerian pre-colonial history.
Nigerians are some of the most loving people on the planet. There’re isolated cases of tribalism here and there in Nigeria but the bane of Nigeria as a nation 🇳🇬 is not tribalism but political and financial corruption in high places. Nigerians for the most part don’t wake up in the morning worrying about tribalism because it’s not as deep rooted a problem in Nigeria as this report is trying so hard to paint. It’s a media narrative. The truth is Nigerians love themselves irrespective of tribal leanings. Fact!
That's true
HMMM. It is not isolated. Igbos practically refused the recent demonstrations against the government because they were marginalized and violently attacked in the current elections. Recognizing it is a first step towards nationhood.
Lies and heavy lies. Tribalism and Religious favourotism is the major problem of Nigeria. As a matter of fact, it has destroyed Nigeria.
Divide Nigeria today and save more lives.
People who disagree today will eventually agree as Nigeria descends into anarchy.
The world will have to intervene AND ENSURE A REFERENDUM IS DONE TO DIVIDE HER WHERE THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS CAN BUILD THEIR OWN COUNTRIES IN WHICH THEY BELIEVE.
😂😅
I'm a strong student of history and growing up I knew reason for most coups in West Africa NIGERIA INCLUDED was because of tribe.
It's why you see coups are a West Africa thing and not common in any other part of Africa. Sorry but true
@@igbounitedforum3386Thank you
You may not like the truth, but the truth remains that as long as colonial lines exist, tribalism can never ever be eradicated.
Tribalism itself is a colonial strategy of divide and conquer/rule for successful colonization and neo-colonization which continues.
Let's be sincere, Africans were more united before the era of colonization and there was no such thing as tribalism then.
To keep people under your control, make and keep them divided. Believe it or not, Africa is still being colonized directly and indirectly as long as colonial lines(boundaries) still exist
nah.
As a Nigerian, I have to say it without any fear that Nigeria will never overcome tribalism.
As a Ghanaian I’m saying tribalism is worst in ghana
Thank you! I just wanted to mention that There is a Ghanaian comment that says there is tribalism but they don't let it out. But we Nigerians are not enlightened to see that we are not the ONLY country with Multiple ethnic groups.
I'm on your side
Ibo"s are the victim
Please there is no Victim! Ibo's are well to do and Nobody can Oppress them!
@@PhebeBakrefact those people are very intelligent
Everyone is a victim, and everyone is an oppressor when it comes to tribalism. Cause no one is innocent, so REST IN JESUS NAME!😂
25:25 Sierra is a genius. quote her. You are both geniuses and very diplomatic.
The tribe that is worst hit by tribalism in Nigeria are the IGBOS
Nigeria can never evolve into a nation since the differences between the peoples forced and lumped together is too stark. It will remain a basket case and till Nigerians rise up and tackle this issue without baring all options/solutions including a peaceful dissolution, it will be persist.
The only time Nigerians cosmetically come together is during football or their collective fear and disdain for the Igbo (one of the ethnic groups) which was clearly identified in Achebe's "Problem with Nigeria" This second factor played very well during the civil war and the wrong choices made by Nigerians in 2015 and its hangover presently.
Lol😂
Tribalism is born from competition and economic situation. Tribalism can be dealt with through intermarriages. But I believe with people cultures kept alive and their economic situation elevated it would greatly suppress tribalism but not end it . I believe it would take centuries when the entire country has completely united through intermarriages to the point where tribes can't be clearly décerned and we will finally see tribalism down and out for a long time but not dead. But that is already better .
Intermarriage will not end tribalism because they are one sided and its not a proper trade off. For example, it's almost impossible from any tribe to marry a Fulani woman, even a Yoruba Muslim man is rejected. Igbo men do not find women from non-Eastern tribes attractive. But Igbo women are considered the attractive tribe of women in Nigeria. So, if a Yoruba man marries an Igbo women it's not a trade off because Igbo men are not interested in Yoruba women.
I think Tribalism is common in Africa but unnecessary
Igbo people are the only tribe in Nigeria that want Nigeria to work as a country it's only the igbos that will leave there place and go to other tribes to do business and develop it igbo people love strangers more than they own brothers Igbo people are the most peaceful people in Nigeria that's fact .. Igbos are be hated by other tribes because of they success in Lagos now 60 % to 70% propertys belongs to the igbos same thing in Abuja that's the reason sometimes they we start s fight with the Igbos as asking them to leave they place forgoting that it was the igbos who develop there.. after the civil war the igbo people where given £20 not to each individual but to each family it does matter whether you have minions or billions each family was given 20 pound's they property were sized by the Nigeria government but after 50 plus the Igbos came back and become the richest tribe in Nigeria and Africa now they are jealous of them forgetting that this are same people they sized they property and gave only £20 they hate the Igbos because Igbos are too successful
This guy can lie ehn 😂
Bro what I just said here is fact there's no lie attached to it@@victorakinola9871
Not to incite tribalism or hate. ..but there is a little truth to what he said here, check your history very well about the civil war, u will know that a very large percentage of Igbo households with businesses were reduced to 20 pounds.....if u don't know that already please make ur research
When it comes to tribalism and sectionalism yourubas and igbos dont have to say others hates you because even in your music ,movies ,comdies and your content creators are always busy insulting Hausa people if to say we will do as you're doing to us you cannot live in our region
Tribalism aka ethnicism CAN NEVER eradicated from Nigeria. This is coming from someone who has lived his life in the different regions of Nigeria and can speak the four national languages of Nigeria.
Ethnicism was there from the beginning of Nigeria i.e during colonialism. Go and listen to the founding fathers of Nigeria, most of them were already sectional. Find their videos on CZcams and read books authored by them to get a feel of their expectations.
Nigeria the way she is constituted presently is doomed. She's can't even be stagnant.
These people are lying. Tribalism is unanimously against the Igbos. The whole country feels that the igbos would dominate them. We also try to leave and form our own country, they wouldn’t allow us hence the Biafran vs Nigerian Civil War.
Never been to Nigeria but I absolutely know for a fact it's totall rubbish there is any country on earth with more than 10 languages maximum. Even that I doubt but I'll accept
What many call languages are dialects. In case of South Africa for instance I contend Zulu, ndebele, Swati and Xhosa are one language but with variations regionally
Using that language South Africa at most has maybe 2 native languages. Nguni, Sotho-tswana. Yet officially excluding English it's regarded it having 9 native languages because they then separate Xhosa and Zulu etc
For languages to be separate they should be very different eh English and Swahili
you haven't been to Nigeria or South Africa or Thailand or tons of other countries with more than 10 languages get educated bro
Should I least some of the Nigerian languages for you?
Please don't speak on what you don't know about, thank you.
Bongani Magadu, must you comment on what you have no knowledge of. Your comment sounds absolutely off.
Nigeria is a zoo! The Hausa needs only 12 points to get to college, the Yoruba 30 and Igbo needs 250 points. my brother spent 4 years at home looking for cut off marks to be able to study medicine, is this not trabalism? Divide the zoo.
🌚🥴
This is not true for Yoruba. Yorubaland has some of the best Universities in the country, the cut off marks are very high. You can only talk about Northern Nigeria where the people are being encouraged to go to school.
