Nollyood actor and model, Gideon Okeke has revealed why he is calling for the abolishment of State of Origin.

The Anambra State born multi talented actor said this is line with controlling tribalism.

Gideon Okeke, the Tinsel star made his stand known via his Instagram page.



He shared the cryptic message above and captioned it: ” One Nigeria ! One Nigeria !!But We’re not quite willing to let go of the coattails of TRIBALISM.
Even AD commercials/Radio Jingles are culpable of passing subliminal messages that are nuanced in ways that make one wonder if there are :
– 3 Nigerias or – 187 Others or – Just 1 Nigeria.
If You still regard your neighbor with these derrogatives :
– Omo-Ibo ,- Ofemmanu, – Nyammiri…
You might be RACIST. Or sold to BIGOTRY.
There’s a thing or two to learn from a small country called RWANDA.
Imagine a policeman stopping you for routine checks and he pops the question : ” What State are you from”…
Oga !! What purpose does that question really serve?
I’D LOVE TO LEARN FROM YOU TOO.
THOUGHTS ANYONE ? “
