AN EVALUATION OF ETHNICITY AND ISSUE OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA (A CASE STUDY OF DELTA STATE)

ABSTRACT

This project is in the evaluation of ethnicity and the issue of political development in Nigeria. The ethnicity is a social consult that indicates identification with a particular group. Which is often descended from common ancestors. Members as the group share common cultural traits (such as language religion and dress) and are an identifiable minority within the larger nation - state. While political development is the progressive reduction of ethnic cultural and religious tension and elements of non-continuities in the process of creating a virtually homogenous constitutional and economic development leading to the attainment of a viable political culture.

The choice of this topic was necessitated by the destabilizing tendencies of this phenomenon which has infact threatened the existence of Nigeria state in a number of unstable and has thus hindered meaningful national political development. This work is an attempt to trace its origin. Those factors that propagate its presence in Nigeria policies and hold it can be eliminated so as to enhance national political development. Though solutions have always be offered they have not yielded any positive result hence the need to look for a more viable option by looking at the division that exists in a pluralist such differences. Their solution must come from power sharing among the various ethnic or other sectarian groups. Yet another step would be to inculcate religion autonomy and federation into the state system which enables local and regional authorities with a degree autonomous power and authority.
