Congratulations to her.
ReplyDeleteHand of Esau, voice of Jacob
ReplyDeleteFrom where to where? Hia!
ReplyDeletePeople like to dig and unearth things and then go further to build a "school of thought" around it. Rolls eyes.
All I see is a super talented actress who excellently delivered her role in a movie as she should, leading to her bagging an award as deserved.
But oh well, to each his own. The power of perception. He is entitled to his opinion anyway. It's OK
I wander what the big deal is in this issue. I don't know if he's trying to say that they didn't give her the award by merit.
DeleteWell, this is how I understand it. Chioma is a great actress - no doubt. She has been a very strong contender in past years for same award and should have probably won some from past years.
DeleteNow, imagine if Femi Adebayo had refused to cast her - or, imagine if she had refused to take that role because of some prejudicial sentiments - this moment may not have happened at this time - or at any other time.
I believe Jide is only using this post to encourage us all to be inclusive in our dealings. Shun prejudice. That's my submission.
You won't see sense in it. You will rather be led foolishly into a tribal war you can't win.
DeleteCongrats to her
ReplyDeleteYoruba's are not tribalistic and they do not discriminate against others, but they will defend themselves against those who are tribalistic against them and those who discriminate against them. Yoruba's carry everyone along and they don't push people down.
ReplyDeleteMay God forgive your lying tongue.
DeleteFew of them, mostly the enlightened ones that has the mind of their own, but others forget it.
DeleteUntil you work in an establishment dominated by Yorubas as an Igbo person then you will know that they hate to see Igbos being promoted at work
DeleteInfact, everybody tribe is tribalistic. They are all mentally messed up in the issue of tribe
DeleteIkwakwakwakwakwakwa
DeleteChim o
@slim shady. please tell me the experience of a Yoruba person working in an Igbo dominated office or trading environment
DeleteIn any of the scenarios, Igbos do not notice you they concentrate on selling more for more profits.
DeleteDo yorubas agree yet to live in the East?? When they are always afraid of something.
@Slim Shady, I’m almost 60. My best friend in FGC, & University and the current one are Igbo. I’m Yoruba. My observation based and experience-driven submission:
Delete1. There is mutual suspicion among all ethnicities from the time of my parents age.
2. I attended an FGC in the late 70s & 80s, come from an educated family, yet my late Dad (he would have been about 90+ if alive for perspective) warned me that he did not mind ANY ethnicity as spouse, even Hausa Fulanis but Igbos. I did not understand the “warning” as I had Igbo friends (my family knew my close friends) but that was his opinion post Civil war (his generation).
I remember hearing “they eat humans”, I didn’t believe them as my friends were just like me.
3. I entered the corporate world (80s) working for an 🇺🇸 corporation in Lagos. I did not notice any tribalism divide in my 1st place work which was mostly Yorubas with an 🇺🇸hiring manager. My colleagues were of all ethnicities.
4. By late 1990s, I noticed tribalism. Igbos were only hiring Igbos, the Yorubas recruited any qualified person. I personally observed this. Yorubas dominated corporate 🇺🇸 & gradually saw departments quickly change with tribal based hirings.
June 12 annulment made things worse. Contrary to the revisionism going around, Igbos overwhelmingly voted for Alhaji Bashir Tofa, not Abiola and supported IBB’s cancellation & Abacha’s rule while Yorubas & other tribes led by NADECO & late Anthony Enahoro fought hard against the annulment. I think this deepened the tribal resentments and worsened the suspicions. .
5. My Igbo then clients wanted me to remove the leading Yorubas in a major brand deal that would have distorted & upended an entire sector almost 25 years ago. I was offered millions. Shortly after my refusal attempts were made on me with police calling it a contract job. I did not wait to find out.
6. My current best friend is an Igbo. We have conversations about most topics but the current ethnic tensions are disturbing. She told me her dad was handed ALL his properties by his Yoruba friend after the civil war and has nothing but kind words for that experience but she also thinks Yorubas generally are sneaky though she is careful to exclude me in those generalizations.
7. The civil war made the tribal suspicions worse, made Igbos develop a persecution complex and Yorubas an “Igbo can’t be trusted” mindset. In the 90s Lagos, some Igbo tenants started rebelling against greedy landlords refusing to pay rent while living in the houses. Many friends & family in Lagos of the 90s complained about “Igbo tenants”. More Yorubas started viewing them as aggressive, abrasive, territorial and domineering instead of engaging in honest conversations. The very effective Igbo apprentice system puts pressure on those who are successful to bring people, train, house and set them up in business. That may be viewed by outsiders as “taking in only their fellow Igbos” unless there is an honest conversation and attempts to understand and reach a middle ground.
Whenever we travelled out of Lagos back then I noticed there were Igbos in Ondo, Osun and Ekiti markets. I travelled to the East but heard no Yoruba spoken in Ariara market, and had Igbo staff who reported to me, I did not have such complaints.
Whenever I mentioned that I was told “it’s because they reported to me. “You don’t know them, you won’t unless you are under them”.
8. PO’s emergence worsened things. I was for PO as I totally hated the idea of the greedy “Lagos lordTinubu”’s emergence as the president. Then the abuse of respected folks like Soyinka, Fela’s family etc started & his campaign was hijacked by tribalists who started using reverse psychology, accusing anyone who requested facts of planning to vote the man they disliked. It was repulsive as PO himself, less corrupt than Tinubu was also corrupt per the Pandora papers.
9. My honest opinion is that both ethnicities should meet regularly at estate & street levels to hear the feedback from both sides and resolve the mistrust between both groups.
Anon 08:47, thank you so much for your write up. You have summarised the truth very articulately but as usual the igbos will not see the truth and acknowledge it. Nigeria will separate in the near future and it will be every tribe for themselves. People who have nothing in common cannot live together in peace. Yoruba's are putting plans in place to leave Nigeria and stand on their own. Saint Lucia is a country on its own in the Caribbean with just a population of 179,285. The Yoruba tribe is a population of millions, it is long overdue for the Yoruba tribe to have a country of their own, we all need to go back to where we came from and Nigeria is not where we all came from originally.
DeleteSee how you spew lies without fear or favor.
DeleteOne of the many Yoruba agendas is to become HR Directors in all the good firms then quietly frustrated Igbos out of civil or private establishments.
2. One of those agendas included not owning a single house in Igboland even when some realtors are been profited through the efforts of Igbo employees in great measures.
3. The other being that since Igbos are found more intelligent as they were recruited by major engineering and construction firms, they were denied admission in good federal universities leaving them to enroll in polytechnics.
These same polys you ganged up and termed inferior then drew a mark on the level they must not pass in employment circle.
Where has that led Nigeria today? Mediocrity..
4. The so called men of God are not left out, tithes from Igbo congregation amount to nothing in their visionary eyes. Pray tell which of them built an international secondary school or private university in Igboland on or before the emergence of Obedients who insulted to tears their Igbo congregation making them to divert their tithes to personal ventures??!!
I can go on and on and on.
Plus., bear it in mind, the white man knows all institutions of relegation fixed by yorubas, abroad both university degrees and diplomas from those polys relegated are treated as same.
Then the major hit,they do not regard the Men of God as 'Holy Men.
Chew on that sis.
Don't worry all those issues you mentioned will seize to exist when all tribes in Nigeria have their own territories, countries and separate @ Anonymous12 May 2025 at 10:00
