Nigeria’s Politics Has Always Been Driven By Tribe, Not Issues - Aniagolu-Okoye

As a result, politicians quickly realized that tribal sentiment could be used to mobilize people, even when it was not in their best interests. Once they tell people that they are being persecuted or that there is an enemy targeting their group, many will instinctively rally around and defend their own. That is how tribal politics continues to thrive, often at the expense of the real issues affecting the people.
