the dumbest question ive read on NL by farrrrr.

The way some people think is like Nigeria is the only country in the WORLD with problems with religion, ethnicity or democracy. WAKE UP ITS ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Is Nigeria the only country with tribes, religons or a growing democracy? NO aint shiot peculiar about Naija

Sjeezy8 - No reference has been made about Nigeria in the question.

Maybe you should try and read the question first before answering!

How does Ethnicity and Religion affect democracy?

Democracy is a government of the people by the people, it has no direct tandem with where i come from or which religion i believe in.

Under normal circumstances, it can, but Nija is just not normal

Violent - Democracy is a government of the people by the people, it has no direct tandem with where i come from or which religion i believe in.

I agree that this is how democracy SHOULD work. But does this happen in reality in 'Tribal and Religious Societies?

Fhemmy - Under normal circumstances, it can, but Nija is just not normal

Are you therefore infering democracy cannot work in Naija?

why don't we start by checking out how Tribe and Ethnicity has affected Democracy

How does being a Christian and Yoruba affect the democratic government? what effect will it have if it were a military regime?

sometimes we forget where we are coming from and where we are going to. Yes in South East Asia there are countries as such like Nigeria with not only tirbal and religious diversity but race diversity and surely democracy is at its definition by the books of law.

oh yeah forgot to mention south america.

Can you list a few names of these countries that are apparently similar in nature to Nigeria?

Thanks,

Malaysia, Brasil, Venezuela, Columbia is what I can present for now without research. places in panama are diverse. just do some research you will find more.

I thought as much - You dont know what your talking about!

Why not also add Thailand, Canada and Russia.

Charlatan,

well men you can suck on it

Dont start someting you can't finish. You are completely showing sign of illiteracy. another poster has asked you to define tribal and ethnicity in relation to democracy. You could not, start off from there first and see where you end up. Well just do your homework first before you post in here. Dont think you are dealing with illiterates here. One of the key factors in democracy is majority and minority.

You are completely showing sign of illiteracy -

And i'm the illiterate!

No problem - Charlatan.

come to think about it are you talking about diversity or just a single tribe and religion?

Read the question - Your there firing off answers (Ignorance)

I rest my case with you. easy to grab you by the balls.

Yes, the Igbo (at least, pre-colonial Igbo) are a case in point. They had a peculiar republic/democratic thing going on, while still being very tribal and religious.
