HOW TO BE NIGERIAN NO. 9
-Be of different tribes
Nigeria is said to have about 100 languages, that's a lot right? I wouldn't want to go into the history of Nigeria, I'd just say that the northern and southern protectorates that got amalgamated in 1914 birthed the nation Nigeria. Several years and civil wars down the line, the major ethnic groups are the Igbo, Hausa and the Yoruba. Enough with the history. But then, can we really separate the past from d present? How would we try to predict the future then?
It's not enough that we have to face racism, xenophobia or whatever else, we have decided to go against one another within our nation. Don't pity us, oh please don't. It's something we have to do. Aunty Flora and uncle Lugard must be turning in their graves now, watching their 'wards' turn against one another. They have to suffer for what they have done to us, it really doesn't matter that they are dead.
Being Igbo, the nation would not survive without us. We are the entrepreneurs, Yet we do not get preferential treatment. If not for daddy Johnathan, we wouldn't have even gotten the seat of power. All these Afonja people and their lousiness. They only know how to shout and sit on the legs of their fat wives.
