*IDIOTS, TRIBESMEN OR CITIZENS*

1. Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution. *According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth, the idiots, the tribesmen and the citizens*. Studies show only 10% of Nigerians are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots!

2. When the Greeks used the word idiots, _they did not use it as a curse or abusive word_. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they write exams they will cheat, if they are in government they will steal, an idiot does not care at all, if he eats banana he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting it in trash, according to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

3. The next set of people are Tribesmen.. these are people that look at everything from the point of view of the tribe. These are people that believe in you only if you are part of the tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest. When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion as a tribe, a great percentage of Nigerians are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of the tribe, they trust only tribesmen.

4. The last group are Citizens. These are people that like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light even if no one is watching them, they drive within speed limit, they respect the laws, they won’t cheat in exams, in government they won’t steal, they are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing. Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group the citizens. Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, some countries have so many idiots. A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation and an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

*Where do you belong?* Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen.

Reflect about your life, reflect about our country and Africa in general.
In our position as Professionals, Civil Servants and other vocations, let's be citizens and not idiots or tribesmen..

Thanks, for reading.

France still has troops stationed across West Africa. They say it’s for “counterterrorism.” But how did terrorists thrive more after France arrived? Africa’s security should be assured by Africans alone.

Who Gave Arthur Eze Ozo Igbo Ndu Title?

Prince Arthur Eze is widely celebrated and once honored with the title Ozo Igbo Ndu—“Savior of Igbo Life.” But does this title reflect the true economic impact of his business on Igboland? Who is he actually saving( Onye Ka Ona Azo)?

Let’s look at the facts:

Arthur Eze is a native of Ukpo, Anambra State.But his flagship companies—Atlas Petroleum International and Oranto Petroleum—are not located in Igboland.

*The corporate headquarters is in Abuja (12 Chari Close, Maitama) While technical base is in Lagos (Lekki Phase 1). His companies operate across Africa, but not from the East, and there’s no known major office or industrial presence in the Igbo homeland.

So we must ask; Can someone whose business contributes more to Abuja and Lagos than to Igboland truly be called Ozo Igbo Ndu?

True economic salvation comes from those who build, invest, and empower directly within the region. Titles must reflect action. So i ask again , Onye Ka Ona Azo ?

BREAKING NEWS: Reason Why Antelopes Commit Suicide After Their Partner Dies.

The dik-dik is the tiniest antelope species. They prefer to live in couples and are most frequently observed in the desert areas of Eastern and Southern Africa.

Diki-diks can run up to 42 kilometers per hour in order to outrun predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs. It’s incredible that every member of this species commits suicide after separating from their mate.

It is typical for the surviving companion to die soon after the first, whether through natural calamities or attacks by animals. Family members are typically the most dependable people you will ever encounter in terms of loyalty.

When someone commits suicide, they give their body to a cannibal.

Dik-diks frequently kill themselves after losing a loved one because of the excruciating agony they go through and the social isolation that follows. When a woman has just given birth, this tradition is scrupulously observed. Most children don’t genuinely feel ready to live apart from their parents until they are grownups.

They are so easily destroyed by other creatures that the warden dik-diks estimate their lifespan to be little over four years. Furthermore, gloves are made inhumanely, requiring contact with the skin of these creatures.

This was a year after the June 12, 1993, which it is now cofirmed he won, was annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida.
