Exploring the history of ethnic, regional, and religious diversity in Nigeria, this volume traces most of the country's current problems to its colonial exploitation. Plagued by ethnic divisions, economic inequality, and corruption, Nigeria appears to conform to the stereotypical view that Africa's problems are mostly the result of primitive tribalism. But as Nigeria's Diverse Peoples demonstrates, most of Nigeria's problems today were set in motion by Europeans during the slave trade and colonial eras. Focusing on three main ethnic groups (Hausa-Falani, Yoruba, and Igbo) and ranging from precolonial times to independence in 1960 to the present, this breakthrough study portrays a Nigeria now striving to make a unified nation of itself. Offering a fresh understanding not just of Nigeria but of Africa as well, readers will enter the richly complex world of Nigeria's ethnic history.

Perfect for students of African history, geography, anthropology, and political science, this guidebook provides an overview and history of Nigeria from the early period to contemporary times.

Research Paper from the year 2012 in the subject African Studies, grade: none, - (University of Benin), course: International Studies and Diplomacy, language: English, abstract: Observably, most developing countries are ethnically diverse. Ethnic diversity may lead to increased civil dissonance. The National Question in Nigeria is probably one of the most complicated in the world with her over 250 ethnic groups and 120 different languages spoken in the country. The colonialist while pretending to carry out a mission of uniting the warring ethnic groups, wilfully and systematically separated the various Nigerian people thereby creating a suitable atmosphere for conflict. With the heterogeneous nature of the country, the tendency of the various nationals is towards parochial consciousness at the expense of national consciousness. This paper, therefore, relies on content analysis as its methodology to examine ethnic conflicts in Nigeria. It also examined the fundamental causes of ethnic conflicts in the country and identifies the possible issues for resolution. The paper also proffered suggestions on how to curb ethnic conflicts in future Nigeria.

Re-Inventing Nigeria presents a political analysis of the country, showing how to make Nigeria’s federation work. It proffers a democratic initiative to keep Nigeria together as one strong united federal republic, while providing a democratic model that other countries with similar multiethnic challenges can emulate. The book focuses on how the Nigerian Federal Project can be restructured to make it more functional and service driven. It begins with a historical review, concluding that the foundations of Nigeria were faulty from the start, with no agreement made towards nationhood by the federating units. Instead, Nigeria’s different ethnic nationalities held themselves in mutual suspicion, even in contempt, before independence. A new form of democratic government, called plebisciterianism, is recommended because of its inbuilt recourse to the plebiscite. This ensures that all nationalities are included in the government at any given time.
