It’s doubtful. And that’s because we have made it the bedrock, the corner stone, the essence of politics.

But it’s more than that, as @KingDouyeAlfred explains.

Do see below:

1-"Ethnicity doesn't matter! I just want a country that works"

LOL

Naivety at it's peak

As usual, we don't ask the right questions

2-Now the central premise that ethnicity shouldnt matter in national good is nice

But it DOES matter

The question you should ask is "why?"

— King Alfred (@KingDouyeAlfred) March 4, 2017

3-And the answer is simple

Ethnicity matters bcos Nigeria has been designed to make sure ethnicity matters

Ethnicity has been incentivised

4-With our unitary system appropriating all wealth to Abuja & sharing to groups, we have made sure what you get depends on where you're from

— King Alfred (@KingDouyeAlfred) March 4, 2017

5-We have also made sure the origin of whoever controls Abuja matters above all else as he's uniquely placed to favour his group

6-If you look at our internal economic architecture, ethnocentricity is rational economic behaviour

We discourage it, then incentivise it

— King Alfred (@KingDouyeAlfred) March 4, 2017

7-Only way to control economic behaviour is to align benefit with goals..benefit is attached to ethnicity, what do you think will happen?

— King Alfred (@KingDouyeAlfred) March 4, 2017

8-The question now is how do we kill ethnocentricity in governance?

Simple, decouple benefit from it – Devolve power & fiscal federalism

— King Alfred (@KingDouyeAlfred) March 4, 2017

9-For ethnocentricity to die, FAAC as the major source of state funding must die

The exclusive list must die

Land use act must die

— King Alfred (@KingDouyeAlfred) March 4, 2017

Catchment area must die, etc, etc
