How do we make 250+ ethnic groups great without respecting and understanding our differences?

How do we find harmony when religious differences aren't respected?

How do we salvage our unity when our cultures are denigrated by fellow Nigerians 🇳🇬?

[BlōōmXRãē🍃🌸 @anas_alero]

My dad told me that the unity of every tribe and religion in Nigeria would be the greatest weapon against corrupt politicians.

And honestly, every Nigerian knows this. But the question is, how do we get there?

Even in my own Delta State, there is so much division. People are divided along ethnic, religious & political lines, & sadly, that division continues to weaken us. Look at a state blessed with so much oil wealth, yet so many of its people remain trapped in dark poverty. (Now keke & pos state )

As long as politicians can keep us divided, they will continue to exploit those divisions for their own benefit. We need to realise that our common enemy is bad governance, not one another.

Dapo Abiodun traveled out of Nigeria to meet investors and and came back to the country wiyh this.

What’s your governor doing to move your state and the nation forward???

Thank you @RepRileyMoore for calling the name of the terrorists. Thank you for not being cowardly like some of our countrymen who chose to be politically correct when it comes to terrorism. And thanks to @officialABAT for his bold actions.

The defense of Gele as a function of Yoruba Culture, is a defense of Yoruba Women, of our Mothers to whom we owe all, of the beautiful ladies whose talent, colors, and flavors make our lives of value; tis an assertion of our very selves.🤌🏾⬇️

@_theboyisgood_ Lagos is key in all this and it’s funny 😂 that’s the same way they subjugate the indigenous people of Abuja too thanks too Tinubu for recognizing them

@MaamCoCo2win I might not be totally right though but it’s my perspective Nigeria emergency response is very poor

I believe it’s cheaper & easy for nepa to give us light while the weather is cold than when the weather is hot

That’s why some people use light more late at night than afternoon.

@iamkennifizzle @arojinle1 one of the things he mentioned preserving our trees you point it out earlier too

[Akin Olaoye @akintollgate]

Say no to electoral violence and online bullying.
Whether APC, PDP, Accord, AAC or ADC, the right to freedom of assembly or political affiliation is a fundamental right. We must be tolerant of people’s choices. Campaign for your candidates in a civil manner.
Bullying people online or doxxing them because of their politics is no different from someone attacking others at a gathering with cutlasses or sticks. Attacking people online or offline are both wrong.
Don’t demand that your views be tolerated, while you attack others for theirs. Respect cuts both ways!

Nigeria Forward 🇳🇬💚

That oil discovery was a curse for this nation

That was when this country start to show all manners of downside.

[空空道人 @Kongkongda5882]

为什么非洲一直没发展起来？我来讲一个实例：非洲第一大国，尼日利亚，人口2.5亿。面积92万平方公里，面积约等于三个华北平原，水土丰茂，一年三熟，降雨量丰沛，全境几乎都是平原和低矮丘陵。介于丛林和荒漠之间，最北的荒漠带边缘，降雨量也和山东相当。

很多人都觉得非洲穷，是因为土地贫瘠、资源匮乏、老天不赏饭吃。但事实恰恰相反，非洲遍地是宝藏，只是很多国家硬生生把一手绝世好牌，打得稀烂。

今天咱们就拿非洲人口第一大国尼日利亚举例，看完它的真实境遇，你就能彻底读懂非洲百年发展困局的核心症结。

毫不夸张地说，尼日利亚的先天条件，放在全球发展中国家里都是天花板级别的存在，完全是老天爷追着喂饭。

这个国家坐拥92万平方公里国土，全境以平缓平原和低矮丘陵为主，没有高山阻隔、没有恶劣戈壁，地形条件远超很多多山国家。

气候更是得天独厚，全境雨水充沛，即便是国土最北端的边缘区域，年降雨量也能持平我国山东。

最让人羡慕的是，这里全年高温无霜，土地肥力出众，一年可以稳定种植三季庄稼，发展农业的自然优势得天独厚。

除了土地和气候，尼日利亚还有最核心的人口红利。全国总人口超2.5亿，劳动力数量庞大、人口结构年轻，完全不缺干活的人力。

靠着这份顶级天赋，早年间的尼日利亚妥妥的农业强国，花生、可可、棕榈油等农产品远销全球，是当时全球知名的农产品出口国，农业基础打得格外扎实。

有地、有人、有气候、有产业底子，按理说这样的国家，就算发展不到发达国家水平，也绝对能让百姓安居乐业、衣食无忧。

可现实狠狠打脸：如今的尼日利亚，早已褪去往日荣光，彻底沦为贫穷、动荡、落后的代名词。

数据不会骗人，目前尼日利亚有超过1.39亿人口深陷贫困线以下。

离谱的是，守着一年三熟的肥沃良田，这个国家居然无法实现粮食自给，每年都要花巨额外汇进口粮食、衣物、日用品等基础物资，无数普通民众连温饱问题都难以解决。

好好的王牌国家，为何会沦落到这般境地？所有悲剧的开端，都源于半个多世纪前的一场“暴富骗局”。

上世纪50年代，尼日利亚境内勘探出大量优质原油，丰富的石油资源让这个国家瞬间看到了“躺赚”的捷径。

在此之前，国家财政、百姓收入全都靠农业支撑；石油被发掘后，海量原油源源不断卖出，巨额外汇轻松入账。

赚钱变得太过简单，让从上到下彻底丢掉了踏实发展的心思。政府直接放弃深耕农业、布局制造业，把国家所有经济命脉，全部押注在石油单一产业上。

全国的资源、政策、人力全部向石油产业倾斜，大片肥沃良田无人耕种、逐渐荒废。普通农民也看清了现实：种地辛苦一年赚的钱，远不如去城市从事石油相关零工赚得多。

于是千万农民放下锄头、涌入城市，传统农业体系彻底崩塌。短短数十年，尼日利亚从享誉全球的粮食出口大国，彻底变成了依赖进口的缺粮国。

产业单一畸形，只是尼日利亚衰败的第一步，治理混乱和分配不公，才是压垮国家的核心利刃。石油产业创造的财富是天文数字，但这些巨额收益，从来没有惠及普通民众。

绝大部分石油财富被少数权贵阶层垄断瓜分，普通人别说分红，连基本的就业、福利保障都得不到。

更讽刺的是，作为石油核心产区的尼日尔三角洲，不仅没靠石油致富，反而常年遭受原油开采带来的污染，土地盐碱化、水源被污染、庄稼无法生长，当地百姓世代承受着环境破坏的恶果，苦不堪言。

巨大的贫富差距、资源分配不公，持续激化社会矛盾，各类武装冲突、地方暴乱此起彼伏。

局势一旦动荡，工厂停工、农田荒废、外资撤离，没人敢来投资兴业，经济发展彻底陷入“越乱越穷、越穷越乱”的死循环。

而制度的严重短板，直接彻底封死了尼日利亚的翻身之路。

当地土地产权极其混乱，全国仅有极少数农民拥有合法土地证，想要发展规模化农业、引进企业落地投产，都会被产权问题卡住，农业现代化根本无从谈起。

同时当地行政体系臃肿低效、办事流程繁琐，腐败问题根深蒂固，营商环境极差。

最基础的民生保障更是缺失，全国电力供应极不稳定，日均供电仅有三四个小时，绝大多数工厂无法正常生产。没有工业支撑，日用品、工业品全部依赖进口，国家彻底丧失自主生产能力。

尼日利亚的教训给所有国家敲响了警钟：自然资源从来不是发展的终极底牌，稳定的制度、长远的眼光、踏实奋斗的心态，才是一个国家行稳致远的根本。

空有绝世好牌，却没有驾驭的能力，最终只会白白浪费天赋，困在贫困落后的泥潭里无法自拔。

🚨BREAKING: Rupert Lowe has tabled a motion in parliament protecting the Ethnic Identities of English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people

He has asked for support across parliament

Our ethnic identity means everything, we must protect who we are

[MacrowithBammy @MacrowithBl3]

@gbengadewoyin Awolowo said it most people taking power ain’t prepared for it

How do they make good use of it so sad

people will even tell you that you speak Yoruba too much 😂 now this is British that English is still core within them but they understand the power of reproduction ethnic line

[Gbenga Adewoyin🃏 @gbengadewoyin]

There is a Yoruba man, someone I absolutely respect, used to support my work, who told me these issues are only discussed by Africans and I explained to him there was a reason for that. I even wrote a book and asked him to order it but he didn’t. Perhaps it’s for some ideal he believes in, how it makes him feel or marrying outside his ethnicity that sealed the argument for him. What happens is just that Awolowo was right again. That most Africans treat governance or society structuring like child’s play. Like it’s something that we can tinker with.
