Political ethnicity is the bedrock of Nigeria politics.Since after independence,this has been a major problem.People no longer find solace in Nigeria politics.This is one factor that has been hindering Nigeria politics.People act in favour of their ethic-relation once elected into political office irrespective of their educational qualfication or bacground.They find job any where they like wihout been sure of their certificate.This in essence has caused mass unemployment to other ethic group.The leaders of Nigeria is the leaders of ethic group not Nigeria as a Nation.This is one factor that made Nigeria government unprogressive irrespective of effort been put in place to ensure success.Nigeria became amalgameted country in 1914 by Lord Frederick Lugard.Since then Nigeria has been one Nation.Nigeria's amalgamation came in excistence to ensure smooth- running of colonial administration.But now the effect is unbearable.This has been the cause of Nigeria civil war.Since after the war, what is happening is happening.No body knows which way.The high rate of ethic politics continue to dominate day after day.One ethic group continue to dominate the other.This has caused mass unemployment, poverty,exploitation and dehumanisation of one ethic by another.The slogan is one Nigeria but that is not what we see.
SOLUTION TO NIGERIA ETHINICITY POLITICS:
One thing is for sure.If Nigeria has to be good,we have to change our mind-set.This is one idea that breed high ethic feelings among members of a particular ethic group.If our mind set can be change about the issue of whom our real brother is whereby we see everybody as our brother so far we are one nation,this will smooth running of the government.We are one Nigeria,indeed we are one and we have to be one because we accepted to be one for peace and unity of the nation.
Another issue is multiple political parties.This is another factor that breed high ethic politics in Nigeria in Nigeria.Some of this party do not aim to win election.Some are out to promote ethic violence and political quagmire.They are out to support one political party against the interest of another political party base on ethic issues.Truth must be told.We are not helping issue here.This is totally to our own detriment.This destoys instead of building the nation as one.We have to maintain two party system.This will do us more good just like United State of America.Power shift from one political party to another.We have to do this to stablize our political party and the nation as a whole.
