Nigeria: Nigeria's four “tribes”

Oro discusses Nigeria's four “tribes”: “I am a Nigerian. Please don’t look at my name and try to peg me to a tribe otherwise I will be glad tell you the stories of other people I have met in the last three decades of my existence — people who can not be defined by any tribal nomenclature.”

    sorry poor you. Nigeria does not have tribes because tribe is a categorization that is given to less developed people. and Nigeria s or Africans are not less civilized in fact they are the MOST CIVILIZED. however Nigeria has about 250 ethnic groups. please use terms that you understand their meaning.
