HISTORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY OF INTER-ETHNIC MARRIAGES IN NIGERIA

This Book focuses on importance and value of inter-ethnic marriages in Nigeria. It is a common parlance to describe our world of today as a global village. This is undoubtedly so due to easy, almost cost free networks of inter-relationships, interdependency, inter-communicability and inter-cultural integration which globalization and information technology of this age have presented. By this development, the distance between and among myriads races, tribes, ethnicities, cultures and geographical landmarks that make up the innumerable human societies of our planet earth, has been broken, constricted and unified. This leaves no one in doubt that the world is indeed, unifying even in the face of diverse multitude of ethnicities in many nations. For Nigeria to become one and for the sake of Unity in diversity, the ethnics in Nigeria: Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani and others, there must be understanding for each tribe to allow other to marry themselves for the sake of unity, peace, love and tranquility.
