My question is, why can't a Nigerian that is Igbo, born and brought up in Lagos, Kano, Calabar, etc, be a certified citizen of that place?

A Nigerian can become citizen in another country, run elections, win and lead. But that can't happy in Nigeria to Nigeria? Oyino nobi our problem, na we hate each other too much, for whatever reasons, and it's highly preposterous. Bitterleaves In High Places. God help us.

Dear Shan

You have stated it so simply that the undiscerning can easily agree with your type of thinking.

But wait a minute.

You are a Nigerian, ain't you?

Before then you are IBO judging from your accent, manners and style of thinking.

You will ALWAYS be IBO forever and ever. It wasn't determined by you but the circumstance of your birth.

What you can alter is your CITIZENSHIP but NEVER YOUR ANCESTRY.

When you as an Ibo woman go to the UK to give birth what you get for your child or children is BRITISH CITIZENSHIP and not ancestry.

That child or those children of yours will NEVER EVER be called or known as English and neither can they be Scottish, Welsh or Irish.

They will ALWAYS be BRITISH CITIZENS of Nigeria Ibo dissent.

And they can actually lose the citizenship of the English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh think they are constituting a nuisance on their lands.

The only place you have the kind of madness you dream of is in the United States and that is because the genocidal controllers of the United States STOLE THE ANCESTRAL LANDS of another people so they wouldn't mind and increasing population of people like you to join them maintain their hold.

In Nigeria the FACT of your birth or ancestry already guarantees you NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP just as any other person from Ghana born in Lagos can get the Nigerian Citizenship of he some wishes.

It is very disingenuous and infact very wickedly criminal of you to say and deliberately confuse INDIGENESHIP WITH CITIZENSHIP.

INDIGENESHIP is tied to ANCESTRY. It is tied to land and long history of lineage, Ancestors , Spirituality etc

CITIZENSHIP is about the circumstances of your birth within the geographical expression of any country. It is a document which identifies your place of birth or choice of Nationality. It never confers on you Indigeneship status of any
tribe or ethnicity in that country, at least not automatically unless perhaps you have stayed and seen to have CONVINCINGLY ASSIMILATED.

So I ask you why do you as AN IBO WOMAN need to have YORUBA or any other ANCESTRY????

Why?

I know for a FACT that Ibos don't ASSIMILATE but try to REPLACE. Look at the Rhodes-Vivour family for example. Garnet Rhodes-Vivour came to Lagos as 100% Ibo man. He married a lady who was accepted as Yoruba. His first son was named Akinwunmi, Akinwunmi got Wale and Wale got the one calls himself Gbadebo.

Till today that Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour THINKS, ACTS, BEHAVES, SPEAKS AND EATS IBO. his mother and wife are IBOS..He openly identified with IBO IPOB, IPOB #EndSARS and IPOB Obidient Movement. He openly denigrates Yoruba leaders aans culture and supports anything IBO against the interest of Lagos.

Is that one a Yoruba or Àwóri man!

NEVER!!!

Is that what you want, the reason you need Yoruba INDIGENESHIP? You want to be IBO in Yoruba land to live Ibo culture, speak your Ibo language, influence our Demographic Social,Political and Economic balances and before we know it Yoruba land can become Ibo land?

You want to REPLACE US.

Onyeochi.

And it has happened before.

You did it against the IBIBIOS until Ibibio land is today's Ibo Abia State. You did it against the IJAWS until OPOBO is still a subject of serious acrimony between the two of you....\

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

I’m not gonna lie man. If I was a kid, & my friend used his entire body to shield me from bullets, I’d swear my unfettered loyalty to him for the rest of my days. My house would serve house. My sons would be the best men at his sons’ weddings.
