The Selfish Business of Tribalism | JBS Ep. 03

Jude Bela, one of the few Nigerians on KZbin who puts out educational videos with an unmatched level of objectivity. Kudos to you for the selfless job you are doing.

[@bless001_]

Ahmadu Bello condemned the Igbos for trying to dominate everybody. Then he went ahead to institute the Northernization Policy. What an irony!

[@realjudebela]

He was never fighting for the good of all, he just wanted the domination to be done by his kinsmen and not the other way round.

[@hassansmaila9254]

Igbos were not dominating as at then, Igbos were more qualified as at then and Ahmadu Bello sees it as a threat because he wants his people to dominate others without being qualified.

[@ohukwh606hgghk]

​@@hassansmaila9254 there's a side effect to dominate when you are not qualified and Nigeria is paying the price today

[@kiaora7214]

Jude, another fantastic production - engaging as always!! After watching this clip and reading the comments section, i got the impression that: 1. a lot of Nigerians are not taught the origin of Nigeria in schools. 2. The only people benefiting from Nigeria today is your political elite (and by extension, exploitative foreign companies) who seem to have been hugely successful at weaponising ignorance. 3. Nigerians are light years away from abandoning tribalism and will not be doing so in this generation or the next, unless something revolutionary happens. I hope good things for everyone there 🙏

[@Xsey43v3r]

The history that is taught in Nigeria schools is of no benefit to the people. Our educational system needs a total overhaul if we are ever going to start seeing the positive changes we desperately crave for.

The olden days people repeat history because they couldn't learn from it, it pains me to see the youth with smart phones this great tool to eqiup ourselves historically yet they chose to dabble on TIKTOK and waste their precious time on trends. The history of the amalgamation call Nigeria should be taught on schools from primary 4. I don't know if I was born in the wrong place of what, I looked around yet these things doesn't seem to bother anyone I can't even find a like minded person discus these matter

I have traveled a bit around West African countries, and I can say this without an iota of reconsideration, that every tribe has one or two geniuses at the least. If you (Jude Bela), the author of this content, is from Benue, it tells that even the "Egun's" have a handful of geniuses. You can never tell from your high horses. You have to get down there to see for yourself: you have to move in and be with the tribes to find that we have a handful of great people in crafts, music, sports, comedy, academy, technology, law, theology, diplomacy, and even politics. I have learned to respect people before I meet them, because I am always shocked when I get in their midst to find that they are way better than we thought from the outside. I mean...always. So, thank you for this piece, Jude Bela, and thank you for representing Benue well in this niche.

Tribal affiliations would need to ben baned 100% before anything would work. Tye problem in many African countries is that tribes are older than countries and instead of these tribes naturally amalgamating to form countries they we forcefully joined together.

The British knew what they were doing when they forced all these tribes to exist in the same country. They knew the tribalistic nature of Africans would continue to erode any progress towards unity. As a result, it makes it easy for the exploitation of Africa to continue. In other words, the white man imposed on Africans what he does not practice. For instance, a country like France have always been the land of the French people (French being a European Tribe) or Germany being the country for the Germanic people ( also a tribe). So why can't we have a Yuroba or Hausa, or Igbo country?

[@horsemouthjones9060]

Unfortunately, our politicians are benefitting from this arrangement and wouldn't change it for the world.

[@littlesunshine4591]

If you divide Nigeria, what will the igbos eat? The hausa are in charge of agriculture, the Yorubas are in charge of texture and clothing, the igbos are in charge of oil and mechanics. The igbos are in a landlocked area , apart from Port Harcourt who is having a major insecurity issue now. If we separate and there's a civil war , will the igbos go back to suppressing the edo tribe and the urogbos . It's easier to say state of residence etc but we have to remember that state of origin occured because of the minor tribes were suppressed by the majority tribes. We don't need separation, what we need is to reach a resolution. The south south should have a good portion of the oil money they are providing, they should be allowed to do presidency like other tribes as well engage with the country fiance sector. We have enough dividing us already

[@elsabishop7669]

I think intolerance will persist where people overstep their bounds. You have to look at some instances in perspective I.e. reckless actions (hoisting Biafra flag on the Lagos State secretariat and proclaiming the state as No man's Land ) was/is utterly provocative All tribes in Lagos stood together at the Lekki tollgate the enemy then was the police who were also a mishmash of tribes. Reckless talk of dominance will always lead to resistance as can be seen even in Europe where Muslims are suddenly wanting to enforce their religion and culture on the natives

[@JohnsonOkunade]

Nobody is talking about the main issue, which is that every tribe wants a self-preservation so “Nigeria” shouldn’t have existed in the first instance. The ethnic groups are just too much, some are already going into extinction. Look at what is happening in Plateau state too, the Hausas where allowed to do as they like just as we are advocating now, and they took it too far, by relegating the indigenes to the back, now the indigenes wants to be recognised and given authority in their own land, the Hausas say no that they own the land. Something similar happened in Ilorin too. Every indigenous community doesn’t want to be subjugated by another tribe. If in the name of being friendly and one Nigeria, you allow everyone to do as they like, what is happening in Plateau state will keep happening. The Ibos understand this even better in their own land, they will tell Ebonyi people in Anambra state that they don’t belong to Anambra state if a crucial position is open. Issues like this are not straightforward and it’s wrong to look at it from just one perspective, only God can help us I wish you can do a sequel addressing the other dimension of issues like this. It’s not just straightforward as you stated. Nice documentary!

The videos is bias painting only one side as victims. Can you remember the grazing issue and some people said no grazing in their land. Where was one Nigeria then. The reason I will still stand with self preservation because if people like this guy in their content are still sentimental and one sided.They know what they are doing. If you want to alleniate a people start by giving them a bad image. All his videos has Tinubu as the evil person after Hitler and Obi has the saviour that was denied. They forget Even Obi called ACN a Yoruba party when Ngige was contesting against him. Mcheew I tire for Nigerians and sentiments

Most times they don’t understand these things until it’s late, most of them are trying to by liberal and comparing countries that do not have diverse ethnic groups with Nigeria. The video itself is trying to paint Tinubu and the Yorùbás as the oppressors and unaccommodating people when the “A jòkúta má momi” people cannot even accept half of the things they expect in Lagos if reverse was the case. The mistakes we are currently making in the name of liberalism in Yorùbáland is numerous and the unborn generation will never forgive us by the time they become strangers in their own land. I’ve stayed for years in Plateau state and I pray what I’ve seen here doesn’t happen in Yorùbáland especially Lagos when the indigenes will become third class citizens in their own land and those claiming land will start killing and destroying the land since the indigenes want what belongs to them back. Let everyone understand that self-preservation is key, if you are a stranger in a land, behave as one, don’t stand under the umbrella of one Nigeria and start taking your host for fools.

Imagine a Nigeria with no quota system. Well, Nigeria is still trying to understand what it means to be a human being with rights. Let’s start from there.

This!

[@nwabuking8830]

@@realjudebela Life is a market place. We are all out here trying to exchange goods and services. Tribalism is bad for business. Religion and Ethnic identity is a shared illusion. What I really care about is keep the currency strong. To do that, you need production. Tribalism is bad for business and is practiced by those who have nothing to lose or are so engulfed by jealousy they lash out. What is the solution? We talk about it in public spaces, churches and mosques. We have to love ourselves as human beings.

Without quota system,do you think a single southerner will get shit,you seem to forget the north control Nigeria,if we decide to make the military and the police 100% North what can you do about it.

The Igbos, Yorubas and the Hausas have held Nigeria hostage for way too long because their egos seem to be bigger than the dreams and aspirations of the country they are only but a part of. These 3 tribes are in a retrogressive tug of war over tribal supremacy at the expense of the the progress and prosperity of the nation. It's time every well meaning Nigerian regardless of your tribe, religion and social standing stood up and call these tribal bigots to order.

[@macanthony1982]

So with this issue about tribe.... Can someone enlighten me, for the last 40 years Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani have ruled Nigeria via various presidents.. PLEASE SOMEONE POINT TO WHAT GOOD HAS THAT DONE FOR NIGERIA IN THE LAST 40 YEARS...

[@glitzimperial970]

All Nigerian elites have ruled Nigeria. It's a national cake share among themselves. You mention three tribes but forgot the ijaw Biafran. All of you know Wetin Una dey do.

[@macanthony1982]

​@@glitzimperial970 i clearly said the last 40 years.. what good has it done Nigeria

[@glitzimperial970]

@@macanthony1982 you are right but you cannot exempt igbo elites also who also share part of national cake. There are senators,members,ministers etc.. It makes it look like others are the evil ones and one tribe is a victim. No we the common men are the victims across all tribes.

[@macanthony1982]

​@@glitzimperial970 of course!!! All of them.. Igbo included.. just look at Uzodimma of Imo State... he is trash

[@timothydestiny3865]

God bless you dear. So annoying. Nobody asks your tribe when you buy food, but people kill for their tribesmen during elections.

Nigeria needs a hate crime law that covers both tribe and religion.

[@tmajec]

Have they enforced the laws on books? Hate crime ke? Abegi 😂
