Something I really can't hack about the Nigerian psyche is how Tunji will leave Nigeria to settle down in Ontario and buy a house which he fully understands is now his.
But Tochukwu will buy a house in Lagos and Tunji will start screaming "the Igbo people are taking our land."

As long as Nigerians refuse to understand and buy into the basic economic concept of property rights and freedom of capital, I don't know how we expect to solve the problem of official and institutionalised tribalism.
Are you guys any better?

Nobody is asking you to *like* Tochukwu. You can cuss out his oney-hungry, omo-ibo arse behind closed doors like Tunji's white neighbour in Mississauga does.
But you HAVE to respect the fact that the property is now Tochukwu's property. He didn't "take" anything from you.

Every other civilisation on the planet understands property rights under a capitalist system, but Africans seem to really struggle with this idea. Yet amazingly when these same Africans move to Western countries, they understand it perfectly.
Make it make sense.
