Let me be the first to comment today.😁
First of all I will like to say that this is a very sensitive topic. Tribalism in our country has become so sensitive as a matter of life and death. The way and manner it influences politics and every other sector is alarming. Every tribe wants the president to come from their tribe particular the 3 major ethnic groups, whenever a president comes from a certain tribe and he is either over performing or otherwise, critism will come from the other tribe, the lack of support for a non tribal man is evident to the point that people have now build so muçh hate for other tribes. Some of my personal experiences comes from marriage, job opportunity and the likes, you dare not marry from certain tribe and you can never be privilege to have certain job roles in communities and tribes you don't belong.
To make the matter worst, the recent insecurities further buttressed how much people are willing to stay under certain government for as long as they care even if the government isn't protective of the citizen.
How can a youth come out to openly say that they prefer to die under this particular regime due to insecurity, rather than have another tribal man as the country leader even if such individual will do better.
People are ready to shed their blood to defend their tribe and creates some right and privilege for their own culture rather than join hands from various diverse groups fo build the country.
I tend to not talk about this tribalism thingy because it doesn't always end up well when it's discussed in the wrong crowd. See you are right , everybody wants their tribe person in power, they
forget that's not wat leadership should be about seriously.
Exactly, the discussion alone is sensitive and threatening, we all avoid it too.
