MEANING OF ETHNIC GROUP
An ethnic group is a social group that shares a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, etc.
Problems of ethnic, state and group loyalty
The greatest problems of ethnic, state and group loyalty in a country like Nigeria are ethnic crises, political instability, election malpractice, and unreliable census figures.
For so many years now, Nigeria has not been able to say the exact number of the people living in the country. The lack of accurate census figures makes planning for the people difficult. The reason for lack of accurate census figures is loyalty to a particular ethnic group and state.
Every ethnic group wants to be sure the figures returned from enumeration of the people are high enough for political gain. This is a big problem.
