Igbos are conditioned to be Islamophobic, stating that Muslims are terrorists. Hausas are conditioned to see Igbos are betrayals. People that shouldn't be trusted especially with power. The Yorubas are conditioned to see Igbos as occupiers/overachievers. People that love to dominate. Despite these, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba politicians aren't resenting each other. Instead they come together to achieve their interests. They only fight when their interests don't align. They don't even fight each other but they poison the people's minds so they can fight each other. Whatever we've been told about other tribes are mostly lies. What am I trying to say?? It's simple: - Average educated Muslims aren't terrorists but the few that were conditioned mostly from childhood and denied education that are used by their leaders to terrorise people. - Average Igbo aren't occupiers. They're just business minded and if given the opportunity, will legally settle whenever they find themselves as long as the place is good for business. They can trade with anybody. - Average Yorubas aren't traitors. They are just people that are often open to welcoming other people. They have managed to have Muslims and Christians live side-by-side in harmony. And like other tribes in the nation. But since it is in human nature to always create "them versus us" narrative even when it holds no truth, and we must try not to allow such narratives to continue dwelling in us. We should make sure that we don't see each other in a bad light because these leaders that are poisoning our minds against each other are dining together. They only use us during the election and dump us right after. We should be united because only that can make us move this country forward.
