How Ethnic Suspicions and Hatred Chain Nigeria to Mediocrity, Injustice, and Endless Division
“Every Nigerian Suffers From It — But We All Pretend It’s Everyone Else’s Problem.”
The Book Every Tribe in Nigeria is Talking About — and Arguing Over.
The disease isn’t corruption. It isn’t poverty. It isn’t leadership.
It’s something far more dangerous — something living inside every Nigerian heart.
But the truth — the bitter truth — is that Nigeria’s greatest problem is not “them.” It’s us.
We are not one nation. We are a collection of suspicious tribes pretending to be one.
We love to shout unity — as long as it doesn’t involve our in-laws, our neighbors, or our ballot boxes.
That’s why Dr. Ope Banwo’s new book, PRISONERS OF TRIBALPHOBIA, has become the most explosive and talked-about book in years.
It’s not a history lesson.
It’s not a professor’s lecture.
It’s a mirror — held up to our faces.
And this time, we can’t look away.
WHAT THIS BOOK REVEALS
🔥 The shocking truth behind the 1966 coup — nationalist uprising or Igbo agenda? (with receipts from coup plotters themselves).
How the Biafran War turned brothers into enemies — and how Yorubas risked their lives to hide Igbos under their beds.
🔥
🔥 The tribal betrayal behind June 12, 1993, and the quote that changed history: “I’ll shoot Abiola the day he becomes president.”
🔥 How the 2023 Lagos elections reopened old wounds — from MC Oluomo’s threats to the viral tribal hashtags that split the nation.
🔥 Why powerful clerics — Pastor Adeboye, the Sultan, Oyedepo, and Kukah — may be the only ones left who can heal us, if they dare.
🔥 Why even Nollywood and the church–mosque divide are trapped in tribal trenches.
🔥 And the only possible way to break free from this 65-year-old curse.
Because the 2023 elections showed us that we haven’t healed — we’ve only hidden our hate behind smartphones and hashtags.
Because our children are learning to hate faster than they’re learning to love.
Because no nation can move forward while chained to the ghosts of tribe.
