Details about Kinship-based politics in Nigeria and how it works, where is it used? How did it start?

Kinship based politics is just nepotism.  Any way you look at it, it is corruption.  If you choose government workers based on tribe, family or affiliation and not on merit, it is corruption/nepotism.

I don't know if you remember the last election.  John Kerry's wife was born and raised in Mozambique.  She defined her self as an African-American.  Which is accurate in a geographic sense.\n\nAfrican American, as it is used today, is a political/ethnic lable, not geographic.  I don't think that this person would be eligible for any minority assistance.  This illustrates one of the issues with race based incentives.\n\nFor example, if you are of pure spanish decent, but from south america, you are listed as a hispanic.  If you are of pure spanish decent, but from spain, you are caucasian.\n\nI attended a traditionally black college in North Carolina (I'm white).  I received a scholarship from the state as a minority student while I was there.\n\nEthnic/race politics are very odd and confusing.  \n\nOf course, you could ask the question, why not just be an American?

I believe I can help here...I recently read a story from Kevin Sites Hot Zone web that told a story about Haitians who eat "mud pies".  The two links below give the original story, AND the blog that resulted from the overwhelming interest in it.  I hope this helps you understand a bit better.\n\nIf you read the entire blog (the second link), you'll see that there are references to Kenya and the tradition of eating "dirt".

Let me answer this with a question - How exactly are Poland and Nigeria similar? This is the assumption you make in your question - I believe this is an unfair argument - and racist at that.

Wikipedia is a good place to start - under the government entry for each country you should be able to find a list of the majoar parties in that country.  Then some googling should give you some info on each of them.

I would guess many NGOs would practice "diplomacy."  Same with IGOs.  They are of increasing influence in the world stage.

It is.\n\nBritish started it when the reserved constituencies on this basis. then we got 2 large chunks of our country(east Pakistan ,now Bangladesh and west Pakistan) reserved only for one group, Muslims. British played the game to break feeling of unity and use different groups as suited to play politics. So is the game of our politicians. Do not forget these are the leaders who got trained under British.

Do a Google search for the phrase "nigerian bank scam".  The email that you received is one of the most common scams on the  internet.  \n\nSome poor soul passed away, leaving behing millions of dollars and you as the only known heir.  An attorney or some government official wants to get the money out of the country and wants to pay you a percentage.  Suddenly, they need money for transaction fees or bribes.  You send them money and suddenly you never hear from them again.\n\nI get lots of these emails.  Law enforcement doesn't have time to deal with it.  I forward a copy of the email to the abuse department of the ISP were it came from and leave it at that.

To get answers that deal with what you are trying to investigate it might be an idea to explain your terms of reference. \n\nWhat do you mean by territorial government? \n\nAnd when you say ethnic conflict is it one ethnos or a variety. And what role does religion play?
