Nigeria’s problems are problems of multi-ethnicity

Domination, conflict and instability are inevitable features of a multi-ethnic country. Each constituent group naturally considers its culture to be superior to the others’; an ethnocentricity that yields prejudice and discrimination. The dominant group controls power and resources to the detriment of the minority, which it exploits. There is a constant fear of loss by one group or another; this fear totally dominates the action and experience of each group. Federalism is unworkable partly because aspirations are different and partly because the least successful group distrusts and undermines the more successful group(s). It is no accident therefore that multi-ethnic countries are the least successful countries on earth.
