Why do Nigerian tribes hate each other?

[Richard Akindele]

The three major tribes in Nigeria don't see eye to eye. This happens to be one of the things that keep Nigeria down. Whenever there's disunity among people, progress is always very difficult or slow.

Although there is no sustained physical fighting among the three tribes, the hatred is apparent in the way people vote at elections. Most voting is based predominantly on tribal affiliations. Anybody who votes outside his tribe is seen as an outcast in the society, somewhat of a traitor almost.

Although there is hatred within dialects of each tribe, we're only focusing on inter-tribal animosity here.

Since every tribe hates the other, who would you say takes the cake?
