this map is not right....

if you consider tribes have cultural relations with other tribes in africa then it shouldnt look like this....

mali empire stretched very far till borders of morocco....

soo their would be much less line than today....
yorubas have cultural relatives till far inside ghana....their are ghanaians that understand yoruba....

your map is not with facts on ground....

Europeans were our root of Nigeria problems.
We can't understand ourselves too difficult to govern.

Only those who couldn’t lead themselves will be angry with this map.

All colonial contraptions should be dismantled

yes. Unity in diversity is a scam. The Europeans know this reason why they formed their countries ethnically homogeneous.

You are wrong. That kind of division cannot lead to any meaningful development. Development comes from people pooling their strengths across ethnic divides.

What did thousands of years of ethnic-based groupings do for African development aside intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic supremacy and subjugation battles?

The Europeans came to trade with us in the 15th Century and met us underdeveloped and that was what led to colonization. We weren't advanced then even to the level of making a Dane gun.

Africa should have one government, one trade, one economy, no borders.

With all the natural resources and climatic vegetation God has blessed us with, Africa would be the greatest nation on earth.

Apart from the kingdoms of Northern Africa, most of those south of the equator are small and muddled up. Imagine the headache a pupil of history or geography would go through trying to memorise the various tribes and their location.

Nigeria has one government, one trade, one economy, no borders, yet Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba are at each other's neck.

It is easier said than done.

A country like Nigeria in what sense? In terms of ethnic diversity, population or development?

Forget about all the grandstanding, it is supported by historical and current facts that Africans have continued to struggle with developmental governance for centuries till date. Governance is largely seen by Africans from the lens of absolute monarchy, where it is an opportunity to enrich self, clans and ethnic groups, exert supremacy and subjugate others. Such.mindset can never lead to the developments achieved by Europeans.

I agree with you.
When Roma conquered Europe for 600 years
600 years then fell... Did Europeans maintain the structure or administration blocks Roma governed them in or returned to ethnic drawn boundaries?

Really so if we create a country like Nigeria in Europe it would work?

Ethnic diversity that was forced together
3 ethnicity having almost equal population
And over 15 ethnicity with 3% and above

For a country to be stable there must be a clear majority... That's the truth
Re: What Africa Would Look Like If The Maps Are Redrawn According To Ethnicity by mrvitalis(m): 10:39am On Mar 04, 2025
Paraman:
Russia and Myanmar
Myanmar the bamar group have 68% of the population the next group have 9% so the meet the criteria for stability... Even at that they are still not totally stable

Russia.. The ethnic Russians are 80% of the population... The next highest is less than 5% ... So stability is meet 100% .. Yet Russia is governed along ethnicity... Some regions have their own money, president, army, police and constitution

It's impossible to have an nation with no clear ethnic group as majority n you have stability it's impossible.. Not talk about one with 3 near equal ethnicities with 15 others... That's a recipe for disaster
