Why Nigerians Need To End Tribalism — Yul Edochie

Actor Yul Edochie has urged Nigerians to unite as he condemns tribalism in the country.

The Nollywood star spoke about his positive experiences in Lagos State, which included building a house, living for over a decade, and the accommodating spirit of the Yorubas.

He stated that he has never experienced any form of hate or rejection from the Yorubas.

He stated that Yorubas have been highly accommodating and they have shown that they are not dragging ownership of their land with those from other tribes.

"I’ve lived in Lagos since 2011. Built my house in Lagos. Not once have I experienced any form of hate or rejection from the Yorubas.

"Anytime Yoruba boys see me on the street, they gather to greet me, and it’s all love always.

"And this talk flying around that Lagos is a no man’s land is wrong.

"Lagos is a Yoruba state in Yoruba land. Imagine someone saying that Anambra is a no man’s land. That’s crap.

"Anambra is an Igbo land. You can’t come into someone’s land and tell that person it’s now a no man’s land. Na you dey find trouble.

"Nobody can deny the fact that the Igbos have contributed immensely to the development of Lagos.

"Other tribes have contributed in their own ways too and the Yorubas have been largely accommodating as well.

"It shouldn’t take away the fact that Lagos is a Yoruba land. We no dey drag ownership.

"Let’s kill tribalism before it kills us", the actor penned.
