@jon_d_doe I know this is only a fetish, but this is a result of too much pornography. And since she has expressed her disgust for it, maybe it's best they openly talk about it.
The moment Nigeria gets balkanized, that's when you'll realize that inside that your Yoruba Ronu, another Ronu dey inside.
Ijebu will start clamoring for regional autonomy in this new Oduduwa republic. Ekiti, Ijesha, Egba etc will all have competing interests.
You know why?
Because before the colonizers came, these people were not fucking...
dancing around in a circle holding hands and weeping with joy about how united in Oduduwa they were.
No.
They were literally putting bullets in each other's bodies and forcing each other into slavery in a multi century back and forth struggle.
There was no "Yoruba" in the homogenous nation state sense of the word.
And what about the middle belt? In Benue state for example, there are dozens (yes, DOZENS) of tribes who don't like each other and will not hesitate to pick up a knives or rifles to settle old scores.
The Fulani and Berom need no introduction.
Even in the core north, many young Hausa are increasingly discontent about the absolute political dominance of the Fulani despite outnumbering them.
Islam can only go so far to quell a people with so much latent resentment.
What about Igbo land?
Some Abia parents won't let their kids marry from the next village.
Anambra people turn up their noses at Ebonyi people and consider them lesser Igbos.
Okay nau.
By the time the "Ebonyi Liberation Movement" picks up EU-supplied rifles now to fight the "tyrants in Awka" everybody mind go dey.
When the "Imo Freedom Army" (IMA) suddenly pop out of nowhere and demand full control of the humongous reserves of natural gas deposits (up to 50 trillion cubic feet of natural gas)...
And this same IMA starts bombing government buildings in Enugu and Anambra to get their point across....
Everybody go understand.
What about the South South where I'm from?
The rest of the Edo people most likely will not recognize the "divine" authority of the far away Oba of Benin and could pick up arms to settle their differences.
The Ijaw, Urhobo, Itsekiri and dozens upon dozens of smaller tribes will 100% pick up every weapon they can find to secure the oil for themselves.
So Mr/Mrs. Secessionist, I want you to understand that the problems of neocolonialism, bad governance and bigotry you're running away from in Nigeria will not magically disappear the moment you get Biafra 2.0, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan or any other ethno state.
You will simply plunge this patch of West Africa into a multi pronged civil war that will last many many decades.
Sudan, Libya and Somalia will look like a paradise.
There will be total collapse of supply chains, bandits and terrorists would carve out their own territories and the colonizers will be arming every slack witted tribal chest thumping young man with a rusted AK47 to kill his fellow miserable black man so Mr. Colonizer can keep extracting Lithium, Oil and gold for dirt cheap.
You will waste generations and millions of people will starve to death .
This is one of the reasons I am so so militant about this.
The colonizers forced us together. That is true.
But it's up to us if we want to keep flinging sand and knives at each other, or if we want to work together toward prosperity for our future and our children.
A Nigeria that works for everybody is the way. Toss your stupid Biafra, Oduduwa Republic, Fulanistan ideas into the trash and light it on fire.
If you are a graduate and already making money and you're dating a university girl.
I'll not pity you when you find out that she's cheating on you.
The university is where young men are supposed to find their future wives.
But you want to be intimidating them with your money.
There are other working class women like yourself that you should be dating.
But you want the ones that will be calling you to give them money for pads, food, hair and even airtime.
You cannot go and date the ones that do not necessarily need your money for survival.
32 year old you dating a 21 year old university girl.
I agree that most of them are greedy and want the baby girl life.
But it will not mostly go down well for you.
Let them go through the phase with their fellow university men.
If you missed meeting your wife while you were in the university, that's your fat luck.
Let them be and face ladies in your class or social cadre.
If you feel like fucking them, go ahead.
But don't go forming relationship with an obviously "handicapped" girl and be feeling like you have gotten the next best thing to slice bread.
You know what you're doing.
End.

For too long, young (and even older) Africans have sought escapism in the thrills of European football — but at what cost? What if you were told that the ache in your chest when your favourite European team flops isn’t organic? That the decades of slick ads, childhood posters, viral clips, and algorithm-fed highlights are all carefully engineered to make a stranger’s cultural export feel like your personal victory?
Imagine if even half of the passion given away by Africans to European football imports could be redirected toward building true economic and cultural independence at home. The phenomenon that some have dubbed "Emotional Colonisation" will come to an end the day that a local goal sparks louder celebration than any imported drama.
Until then, ask yourself: Who owns your passion?
