"Religion is the Opium of the masses"
~Karl Marx
What you see is not people interested in serving God, they are clinching to the supernatural to make up for the failures of the government, while the religious leaders use the opportunity to exploit them.
Its much deeper than you think bro
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.
People are being killed - flyover
We don’t have light - flyover
Some part of the state is flooded - flyover
There’s no proper drainage system in Benin metropolis - flyover
No jobs in Edo except SA and SSA- flyover
I met one sharp babe at Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe.
We where vibing then i asked her what value will she add to my life if we start dating, she said love, sex, she will cook for me, wash my cloths, emotional support et all.
I said thats nice, sex is the least of my problems, i wash my cloths and cook whatever i crave, so what remains, she was quiet.
I just laughed, if not for kids i won't get married because there is nothing a woman can do for me now that i cannot do for myself, infact i am doing them already comfortably.
Saturday's botched terrorist coup in Mali had all the hallmarks of a Syria-style, violent foreign-backed regime change operation, and Western media's response to it only made that more obvious.
It just so happens that Mali =\= Syria.
Naija Confra acknowledges the decision of the Inspector General of Police to dismiss the officers responsible for the reckless k**ling of Oghenemine Ogidi in Effurun, Delta State. A young life was lost under circumstances that demanded more investigation since the suspect was already captured and demanded to be heard. While this action by the IGP signals accountability, the bad actions of a few who had no patience to carry out investigations should not be used to change the process by which the police ought to work in order to effectively fight crime. Let it not affect the morale of good and hardworking police officers.
Naija Confra has never hesitated to call out police misconduct, including officers involved in cultism or abuse of power. But at the same time, we cannot ignore the truth and broader reality: Nigeria is bl££ding from unchecked gvn violence. Cultists and criminals continue to carry gvns freely, executing k**lings without mercy - sometimes even targeting innocent family members when their intended victims cannot be found. Too often, when arrests are made, these same criminals return to the streets through the influence of either their cult leaders or sponsors, and they get armed again to continue the cycle of k**lings. Behind every release is another grieving family, more children left without fathers, and countless dreams buried in silence. Last year, cultists sh0t and k**led a police officers, and just last month, another police officer was also sh0t and k**led by cultists. Several times, we have seen cultists and other criminals exchange gvnfire with police officers during initiations and other places, with the police doing a fantastic job to neutralize them.
Delta State, in particular, continues to surface on Naija Confra for cult-related k**lings month after month, and the Delta State Police tries so hard to end this problem. It is also important to note that Aliyu Shaba, the Effurun Area Commander, who is being heavily insulted following this incident, is not a bad man. Aliyu Shaba’s record in fighting cultism and crime across Delta State speaks for itself. Communities have seen peace under his leadership and have always begged for his return after he is transferred and violence resurfaces. In 2023, Aliyu Shaba was named the Best Police Officer of the Year. A man’s years of service and sacrifice should not be erased by public pressure or by those who want to shine through tragedy.
Naija Confra stands firmly on “decisive force” (k**ling the bad guys), but only when backed by complete, verified evidence and proper investigation. The government, the IGP, and all security agencies must seize this moment - not just to pvnish, but to reform, strengthen gvn laws, and rebuild a police force that is both feared by criminals and trusted by the people. People may criticize at the beginning, but in the long run, they will appreciate the fact that k**ling the bad guys is the only way to solve the problems because if those bad guys were not k**led, they may end up k**ling their family members. This is the only way crime will reduce and the problem solved in Nigeria.
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has said the Gelegele Seaport faced delays in securing federal approval under former Governor Godwin Obaseki because Obaseki was a member of the (PDP), which allegedly influenced Federal Government decision not to approve the seaport.
This is a funny take man,you underestimate just how much tribalism is engraved into the functioning of this country.
our very constitution promotes tribalism in the form of "federal character commission".
Tribalism can end in 2 years with the right leadership, you guys really underrate federal might.
Pass a decree, anyone caught engaging in tribalism will do community service and pack shit/waste for at least 3 months, everyone’s senses will return back to normal.
JUST IN: President Bola Tinubu’s administration has approved a massive reduction in import duties of selected products in order to further reduce inflation, empower local businesses and increase affordability for consumers.
The Nigerian media is structurally designed to sideline women, limiting their access, silencing their voices, and concentrating power in the hands of men.
Ethnic supremacists like this guy are very silly people. "Silly" is me being generous.
Because if you rightfully identify Nigeria (with 230m people, 1m km², etc) as a country under foreign occupation, why on earth would your solution be "Biafra"?
"Biafra" - surrounded on all sides by the same Nigeria that you acknowledge is controlled by white people, without any direct access to the ocean and completely landlocked by the non-sovereign Nigeria that would also be hostile to it.
What is the plan for survival without becoming yet another foreign dominated African mini-state that needs constant oyibo support to just keep existing? Ask him that question and his answer will basically boil down to: "Because Igbo people are more intelligent than other Nigerians and we are special in God's eyes."
Anyway, whenever you wake up to the reality that the ethnic supremacism you subscribe is just another oyibo psy-op is when your day will break. Until then, keep listening to charlatans whose job is to fill your brains with nonsense and waste your energy on cul-de-sacs that will lead you nowhere.
And for the record, "Biafra" itself was just a French man's psy-op. The entire reason for its existence and the war around it was French geopolitics and nothing more. 3 million Africans died just so that Charles de Gaulle could prove a point. The sooner you truly understand where you stand in the world, the sooner you get away from the energy-wasting Alternate Reality Games like "Biafra" that some overfed bastards in Paris and DC created for you.
