I agree, most of the negative ethnic sentiments are engineered, perpetrated, fostered and propagated by the older generations amongst Nigerians. Just like you would find racists groups around the world.

Only time can erode such feelings and substitute them with all-inclusive ones. Nigerians do not see them Nigerians except for show in most cases or when there is the need to cheat the other. Most Nigerians favor 'tribal' sentiments because it is the only way they can cope having lived through a lot of intrigues and distrust dealing with one another.


Hopefully, the future generation having never learned where their villages are or to speak any Nigerian language would appreciate the need for unity.
