ABSTRACT
Tribalism is coined from ‘tribes’, an alternative word for ethnic or linguistic groups or in some countries ‘nation’ or ‘nationality’. Tribes supply a lot of Nigeria’s diversity providing traditional costumes, dress, music, dancing, indigenous language, arts, religion, all of which can constitute an asset to a people. It is naturally regarded as a small group, a human social organisation defined by traditions of common descent having temporary or permanent political integration above the family level with shared language, culture or ideology.
As the saying goes, “if the purpose of something is not known, abuse is inevitable”, having various tribes in one country doesn’t have to mean there should be division, this is what tribalism has been seen to have caused so far in Nigeria till date, affecting both political, social and economic areas of its society and its individuals.
This project is an effort to draw more attention to the negative effects tribalism has brought upon us in the society. By this means, it will create awareness to the viewers and the government to possibly enable them to look into the matter to advocate for peace, unity and togetherness amongst the various tribes in our country.
