Here is a map that shows the ethnic groups of Nigerias. Also note, that each of these ethnic groups have their own language and culture that is separate from other groups in Nigeria. While some of the groups like Yorubas, Ishekiri, Urhobo, and Edo share very close close native political structures and even similar names for leadership, they still maintain individual cultural traditions that are not practiced anywhere else. This post is meant for all those so called "one Nigerians" like Obasonjo and co that like to walk around with their eyes closed pretending that these groups do not exist. Or there is no valid basis for nations built around already existing ethnic groups/ alliances of ethnic groups. http://www.onlinenigeria.com/mapethnic.asp

Afeni,
How does one become a member of these ethnic groups?
It couldn't be birth alone, eh? Wouldn't there be a problem with everybody being sorta of related to everybody else?
Do any of these groups ever think of themselves simply as Black People or Africans?

Well the main way to become a part of these ethnic group is to be born in one. You can however marry someone from the ethnic group and blend in with them. Also, people that live for long periods in certain ethnic groups will be allowed to assume a role as one of its members.
And no, they don't think of themselves as black or Africans. You see, everything is relative. If everyone around you is black and African, then it becomes a non-issue. In fact, the United States and a few other Latin American countries are one of the few places where things are broken up into White/black e.t.c.

Afeni,
So the people do not focus on their true enemy, they find enemies in their neighbors?

Drusilla, if you don't mind me saying, it is a bit naive to assume that the true enemy is not within our midst. I, for one, do not think Europe is the true enemy. They, in making nations of fake borders, screwed the continent up, but the ones that are holding these fake borders together are not the Europeans. These borders are being held together by the ruling class. And they must be destroyed.
