“Our real problem is tribe and religion” - Big Brother Naija’s Tochi shares deep message about Nigeria

Image
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tochi, has shared a thought-provoking message on his Instagram story about what he believes is Nigeria’s biggest problem.   According to him, the country’s real issue has never been oil, corruption, or elections — but rather tribal and religious divisions among its people.   He wrote:   “Nigeria’s biggest problem has never been oil, never been corruption alone, never been elections, it has always been tribe and religion. Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa. Christian, Muslim. We divide ourselves before the government even tries to divide us. We carry identity on our heads so strongly that we forget humanity is the first identity. And that is why we are stuck.”   In another post, Tochi added that Nigeria is “too big, too scattered, and too mentally conditioned to be one,” stressing that until tribal and religious sentiments are addressed, no constitution, election, or president will be able to fix the country.
