Series - Africans Hate Africans; Tribalism In 2025 Still Causing Conflicts

Wednesday, 12 March 2025

One thing for sure, Africans will go wild because so many love to proclaim that they're the most loving and acceptable humans on earth. However the hatred between one another has spread even to Black Americans for no reason what so ever. The so-called Diaspora Wars, are a direct example of Africans raised to judge one another based on tribes.

There is this total ignorance to accept that Africans totally hate each other, especially those still living on the African continent.

Perfect example is when Nigerians tried to copy Kenyans by going to the streets of Nigeria to protest the cost of living in Nigeria. However unlike in Kenya, the protests in Nigeria ended with the hashtag #LGBOMUSTGO.

IGBO is a tribe in Nigeria, one of the larger tribes in the country. West Africa to this day still has the biggest problem when it comes to tribalism and hatred for one another. This is based on what area of the country they were born, as tribes in several countries have their own "historical" locations. No account taken for the movements of tribes throughout history, as well as the displacement of people due to colonialism.

What does the cost of living protest have to do with the IGBO tribe, you might ask? The simple answer is nothing, not a damn thing, however some Nigerians will call me a liar. The same way in Ghana, the Ashante Tribe is also being blamed for everything wrong in Ghana's political scene according to the former president Akufo-Addo.

Here is a Facebook post about the hashtag in Nigeria:

The recent call on X (formerly Twitter) for a protest under the hashtag #IgboMustGo, demanding the forced relocation of Igbo people from Lagos and other Southwest states, is deeply troubling and fundamentally opposed to the principles of unity and coexistence that define our nation. Such rhetoric is not only divisive but also endangers our peace and security, as our Constitution guarantees every Nigerian the right to live and work freely anywhere in the country.

History has shown us the consequences of allowing hatred and bigotry to fester, as seen in Rwanda. What began with inflammatory rhetoric led to devastating outcomes. We must learn from these lessons and act decisively.

I call on the Nigerian government and relevant authorities to take immediate and strong action against those inciting such hatred and division. It is imperative to investigate, arrest, and prosecute individuals promoting ethnic discrimination and violence. The rule of law must prevail, and those found guilty of incitement should face the full extent of legal consequences.

Nigeria's strength lies in its diversity, and we must resist any efforts to sow discord among our people. Lagos and the Southwest have long been melting pots of cultures where individuals from various backgrounds contribute to our collective growth and development. The Igbo community, along with all other ethnic groups, is an integral part of this vibrant mosaic.

I urge all Nigerians to stand united against this divisive rhetoric and to champion unity, tolerance, and understanding. Our future depends on our ability to live and work together harmoniously. The government and security agencies must act swiftly to protect this fundamental principle and ensure that every Nigerian can live free from fear of discrimination or persecution.

It is alarming that, five days after this threat emerged, there has been a troubling silence. Immediate action to arrest, investigate, and prosecute those behind this heinous agenda is crucial. This will serve as a deterrent to others who might consider pursuing similar paths that threaten our national security. -AA

So, let me get this straight, some Nigerians have the nerve to tell others who are from a certain tribe, to get out of Lagos? I mean how does this make any sense?

This should be illegal, it's discrimination and it gets worse than this. Someone posted that in Ghana they were telling IGBO's to leave, meanwhile in Ghana there is extreme hatred for Nigerians, discrimination in housing and employment exists.

Not one Ghanaian gives a damn about the tribal order in Nigeria. I've written several articles about the hatred of Nigerians in Ghana, which is another example of how much Africans hate Africans.

Why are no Africans speaking out about this hatred? I will never understand, so many Africans take to social media and shout "Africa United!" However when Africans hate Africans how is this suppossed to happen? When will any PanAfricanist speak up about this?

My guess is never, because it doesn't fit in with the bullshit rhetoric that Africans are so perfect, accepting and love everyone. This is the sad part and it won't ever change.
