pchukwudi:
I think your narrative is misleading.

No country in this world is as diverse and self contradictory as Nigeria.

The US population is over 70% white and over 70% Christian.

The second single largest racial or religious group is less than 15% of the population.

That shows that the US is way more homogeneous than Nigeria has ever been or will ever be.

When Obama came out in 2008 to run for presodency, more of the "70%" voted for him than the 14%! Its more about mentality and the willingness to grow than on differences in tongue and culture.

That's just my take.
