To whom do we owe allegiance – our tribe or Nigeria? The reality is some of us, if not most, define our existence and identity from a tribal standpoint. We think in tribal amplitude and act in protection of the tribe. Our tribe comes first; we steal, fight and even kill for the tribe. The nation as an entity is split into disparate collections of kinfolk with unrequited loyalty. This is the trouble with Nigeria. The state is perpetually slaughtered for the tribe.
We have a nation to build. Reading Waziri Adio’s ‘Arc of the Possible’ – a memoir on his stewardship as the executive secretary of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative , I was unnerved by some of the revelations in the book.
While some elderly Nigerians, some in their 80s and 90s, who should be bastions of national unity, still think and speak from ethnic stumps, Obasanjo never ceases to speak in defence of Nigeria’s unity. Over the years, I have not at anytime heard Chief Edwin Clark speak in defence, in support or in the praise of Nigeria. It is either he is talking about former President Goodluck Jonathan, some Ijaw agenda or issuing threats against the state. I do not think this is the way to go for a man who has benefited immeasurably from the country and who is one of the few elders who saw Nigeria from infancy.
No
Unfortunately, they never do. If they did, someone, somewhere, in a position of authority, from PMB's tribe would have publicly reprimanded PMB for his tolerance of his kinsmen's activities in the polity. And he would have done so in the public domain.
Senseless question. Without our respective tribes, there won't be Nigeria. We are who we are before Nigeria was put together. Nigeria should rather give up it's contraption right for all ethnic nationalities to be free
Fredrick Nwabufo! Fredrick Nwabufo! , Fredrick Nwabufo! How many times , receive sense .
Yes
Brother, please there is no Nigeria without my tribe.
I think the question should be, what makes you a Nigerian?
I don’t even need time to think this one. Hell no!!!! A million times no.
Nigeria is a business center and My tribe is the last home for the Nation.
Did the French, German, etc give up their nationality to become the European block.. NO... We need to love each other and want the best for one another, recognize that every tribe makes us unique and why we should be proud we are nigerians...
I am not a Nigerian without my tribe.🙄🙄

2023: South-Easterners Understand Nigeria, Can Turn Sambisa Forest To Business Opportunity – Abia Governor | Sahara ReportersIkpeazu made this known on Thursday following his visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in his office at the State House. The man is very correct, they can turn Sahara desert to main market or Alaba. In fact they can build an Aba on the Atlantic Ocean. I mean it & am very serious. With all the business opportunities in Aba, you have yet to transform the city into an investment hub. Some people shouldn't be given audience no matter the guise.

Tribalism is ruining everything in Nigeria. In the end, you are not going to give account to people but to the Almighty. Diversity is a great asset and God made it that way for a reason. We're all black and discrimination among us is pure Stupidity. Stop hating. todayng Look at the bigger picture not small mindsets ruining everything. FYI those you hate so much might just turn out to be your next door neighbor, heaven or hell. NigeriaNewsdesk The question is silly. My tribe has been my nation before the foreign fabrication called Nigeria. My tribe values me,keeps me secure, cares for well-being, gives a sense of belonging, provides me heritage & impartially has its expectations from me. Can Nigeria provide the above?
