Nigeria has been run since 1960 on the strong unamenable first basis of ethnicity and religion. It is not even a country, talk less of a nation. Those who conjure up the dubious claim that ethnicity and religion are not determinants of power must understand that the facts trumps their intriguing attempts. This country has cost more than 4 million lives in myriad ethno-religious conflicts and excluded with vicious intolerance and mean-spirited suppression specific groups from political power.

Fucking despicable place where justice don't exist. A country dat befall shame on all Africans & da continent. What a bunch of fucking morons living like zoo animals. Once met armed robbers in Ojuelegba 2am, befriended 1 to kill da aggression. Took his address & went to C him next day with no police and successfully persuaded him. His from Biafra, I'm Yoruba. Was very emotional 4me but dis are humans like U & me. He saw he could trust me unlike other 9yjas who'd turn-up with law enforcers.

Son of a bigot with such lamentable bigotry you are. Corruption in Nigeria is nationwide and not unique to any tribe within. I take it you have been a preacher? Really disappointed about such commentary about Yorubas when as one, I loved all my bros & Sis regardless which part of Nigeria. If all Nigerians will take to this commentary, then there will be civil war which is what happened in Biafra yet what? I'm too educated to be manipulated and swayed by a lamentable ignorance.
