What are Consequences of ethnicity

1. There will be unnecessary communal conflicts among the members of the community as each member of the community will tend to protect his or her own community at the detriment of others . This communal violence if unchecked may lead to political violence most especially during election campaigns
2. The colonial masters used ethnicity as a tool of administration through their system so assimilation and that of indirect rule . Nigeria was divided into three major entities that is based on major tribal groups that were prominent at that time which are Igbo , Yoruba and Hausa or North , East  and West .
3. Nepotism , Tribalism and Discrimination are all related to ethnicity bias of people that are highly placed in political office . political position are given out to individuals based on who knows who .
4. There is infrastructure  decadency and under development . Development could be in terms of provision of social amenities like electricity, pipe borne water, good roads, hospitals, and schools. When ethnicity is practiced, the government favors one area against another. This is bad. It should therefore be discouraged.
5. Waste of manpower. Manpower refers to human resources. Owing to ethnicity, workers that are qualified or highly skilled may not be employed because they belong to one ethnic group or another. This is waste of manpower resources.
