Why do European countries have a single ethnic group dominating a country? by Nobody: 6:32pm On Jul 07, 2019 |
European countries are more developed and among the first world countries. They are made up of the same ethnic group in a single country. For example England is predominantly English France is predominantly French Netherlands is predominantly Dutch. These people have a common language, ancestry and a common goal. Just look at Nigeria for example where they packed Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, ijaw into one country. Like we have anything in common. Imagine a country with Igbo people only, a country with Hausa people only, a country with Yoruba people only. We don't have to worry which tribe is going to rule or if my ethnic group have senate President or federal appointment or not. We'll focus on building our ethnic nation. I swear Nigeria must divide. We are not one That's just my observation about developed and undeveloped country because a country like Nigeria can never developed 7 Likes |

Let me ask you: how many tribes make up the US, can yi count all of them? US is the biggest economy and is a country of several different people from different ethnic backgrounds. How many tribes make up the Koreas yet they're so divided? The truth is, to develop a nation requires the joint effort of a people who believe its possible, regardless of tribe and tongue. That we're not developed is not due to the fact that we're made up of many tribes but because we haven't gotten leaders with the right combination of intellectual wherewithal and ownership of this great Nation. When this happens, every other thing will fall into place. That's just the fact! 17 Likes 5 Shares |

Arkmanbuddy:dude nigeria is just too divided along ethnic lines. How do you expect a country with over 300 ethnic groups to function? You talk about america so i am gonna ask you, what is the biggest issue affecting america internally? The answer is RACE. That's where the difference is and that single difference has been a major problem in america. It's no more about leadership in nigeria because even the nigerian masses vote along ethnic lines. Are the masses also in government? 5 Likes |

Don't ever use USA, US is a country of immigrants. So the founding fathers had one agenda, stick together and crush the locals. All of them, Irish, Germans, Spainanrds etc ganged up against the locals and overcame them. Nigeria has indigenous tribes, overly suspicious of each but forming ad-hoc alliance to share the free oil money Arkmanbuddy: 5 Likes |

Multiethnic, multiracial, multicultural have little or nothing to do with underdevelopment in any society. The only factors that underdevelop any society is ineffective and inefficient law enforcement, delayed and unequal justice system, lack of reward and punishment system. Indonesia and some south east Asian countries has more ethnic groups than Nigeria. Singapore has three major races. That is even worst than just ethnicities. Yet all these countries came through with equal and efficient justice system. In Africa here, the Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda seem like there were never going to live together. Equal and efficient justice system came through. On the other side, being a monotonous society still doesn't guarantee a developed society. The Koreans, Somalis have proven that. The Fulani bandits are on rampage not because they can't be tamed or because they think differently. They are on rampage because Buhari's government does not place much emphasis on reward and punishment. And when they do, it's highly biased. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Donmedra:What amuses me is the fact that many look at a finished product and compare it to a product in transformation without sufficient knowledge of how the finished product got to the state it is in. When one checks, one tends to find such individuals have no or next to no knowledge of the concept of evolution which I put down to a poverty in historical knowledge. Below are maps of ethnic groups of Britain and the south of England at different times. Britain had many more ethnic groups that became '5' over time. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Donmedra: The most homogenous country in Africa is most likely Somalia and I'm sure none here wants to do to win a Visa lottery to go live there. In England, there were minorities like the Cornish but the English language swept their off. The same with the Manx language of the Isle of Man. The last known speaker of the Manx language died in 1977. Swaziland and Lesotho have a main language each yet are both very poor. The Maghreb, the Arab speaking North Africa has a dominant language yet they aren't prosperous The primary reason for African poverty primarily lies in the lack of true democracy for decades which enabled sit tight leaders to stay on in power despite poor achievements. A good example is Cameroon. Another reason is the refusal or the half hearted attempt by leaders to promulgate or worse implement policies formulated by technocrats that would transform their economies. The list is endless. Note that even when you have a country either less divided by tribes or having only a single tribe, new problems spring up. Imagine Igboland secedes and becomes a country. Anambra Igbos will try and dominate and this will lead to squabbles among the others. New divisions will arise. The Onitsha people don't consider themselves igbos and may prefer to join their kith of kin in Delta State fearing subjugation in an Igbo country. 8 Likes 5 Shares |

urahara: Though Latin America is divided by race, most countries have one language they all speak which is mostly Spanish but Brazil, Portugese. Yes, they aren't rich. Best is Higher Middle Income countries. I however see Chile, Panama, Peru becoming rich one day. The primary problem was that the Spanish and Portugese left these countries with an intrusive and burdensome State. Many are yet to fully unburden themselves from this load. 2 Likes 1 Share |

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.

Nuzo1: Nice try but you are a joker. Koreans are very united both domestically and abroad, so much so that the US could not defeat those in the “North”. When foreigners come with their agenda, those that fight on time tend to survive... THe Nigger Area was just a company meant to enrich England and foreign groups which till date it has. When it operated on regional systems (the original 4) everyone saw that those leaders and governments were better than the nonsense and wast of the last 50 years, which tells you that they regions should have SINCE been countries.

Arkmanbuddy: OP you made simple points that are obvious even at the women’s World Cup where nations sing their anthem in their language and have indigenous coaches, unlike your Nigger nations that are doing the opposite. EVERY WHITE person in America knows their origin...that is European origin and they celebrate their legacy and the Middle Ages. Game of thrones, for example, made more money than all the Northern Arewa states generated, and yet it reflected a Middle Ages culture promoting EUROPEANS as heroes. WHen an outsider comes and rapes your mom and calls her a byatch and her kids and grand kids call themselves Byatches and funky fie it Bya for life and nonsense, then by all means, they somehow surround their land with a mentality of a dog, as the case is with Nigger Area/Nigeria. The best leaders were of course from a time where there was regional autonomy, so it is clear that if Biafra and Oduduwa emerged in 1967 AFrica today would not be celebrating Adeboye and Davido.... |

Arkmanbuddy:you're writing nonsense. pls stop turning logic upside down. That a country is homogeneous doesn't mean challenges won't be experienced but certainly not problems so serious and intractable as the ones CAUSED when a country has sharp differences in values, when the population can clearly be categorized into various ethno-religious groups with their respective homelands, when what seperates the various groups is far smaller than what they share in common, when a country does not have a cultural focus. This was the case of India before partitioning, Sudan before south Sudan independence, Yugoslavia before break up and Czechoslovakia. This is currently the case with Nigeria. A country doesn't even need to be 100% homogeneous before they can hold together. most European nations have a major uniting ethnic group serving as a cultural focus while the minorities are respected. Nigerian s have been deceived with the concept of unity in diversity. it means that diversity is basic and what unites is smaller than what is shared. No nation survives on such. your USA example is senseless cos US appear divers but actually homogeneous cos it was founded by migrants on Anglo-protestant and liberal values without homeland boundaries. Excluding Fulani invaders, the north can live peacefully as one country cos irrespective of ethnic differences most of them speak Hausa. the East can also be a united cos what Igbo, efik/Ibibio and izon have in common is bigger than what divides them. but Nigeria can't function as a single whole cos the value differences are so sharp. 5 Likes |
