No and here's your smoke too sure brought to you

00:04

by ethnic conflict It goes a bit deeper than arguing

00:08

over which country's cuisine makes for the best takeout nigeria's

00:12

multi state federal structure was primarily designed to what here

00:16

the pendulum Yeah well nigeria ended nearly thirty three years

00:22

of military rule in nineteen ninety nine but the two

00:25

thousand eleven elections were the first to be declared free

00:28

and fair Sometimes democracy gets off to a bumpy start

00:31

much like when we try to get off the couch

00:33

and back to the gym Although our bumps tend to

00:35

come in the form of netflix and papa john's all

00:38

right is the answer egg in order to clarify educational

00:40

and employment policies Actually educational employment policies are carried out

00:44

by the federal state they're having a multi state approach

00:47

doesn't accomplish much in the way of clarification Anything that

00:50

probably makes things complicated asked average would mean knows what

00:53

we're talking about Let's get rid of a maybe it's

00:55

being in order to reduce dependence on oil revenues that

00:59

one came out of left field way have to ask

01:01

yourself how would a multi state federal structure reduced dependence

01:04

On oil revenues Well two things your values related as

01:07

kristen and patrick stewart the country still needs oil revenue

01:10

Weather is made up of many states or just want

01:12

music This logic we can also eliminate is an answer

01:16

Solidifying the country's borders isn't something we'd immediately consider when

01:19

talking about internal topic like federal structure Feeling two answers

01:23

with one multi state structure over sounds good to us

01:26

let's see centralized authority in a single political party Well

01:30

the nigerian multi state system is actually an attempt to

01:32

make sure that no single ethnic group dominates the country's

01:35

political life Bad things tend to happen when one ethnic

01:38

group rises to the top and takes power See uh

01:42

history of nearly every major civilization ever But it's led

01:46

to a vast number of political parties representing every possible

01:49

view The rather been one political party There are nearly

01:52

one hundred We just made it very tough for the

01:54

ice cream for everyone party theorized in the top despite

01:58

their catchy a scoop in every cone slogan it's not

02:01

see which means the correct answer is diffused ethnic conflict

02:06

A moment ago we said the political structure was created

02:09

To make sure that no one at the group could

02:11

dominate the country's politics and the same goes from the

02:14

federal structure of the country a multi state federal structure

02:17

was created in nigeria to integrate ethnically diverse population and

02:20

to promote multiculturalism The thinking is that everyone gets along

02:24

much better when no one's top dog and where all

02:27

dogs are created equal Well history is pretty much the

02:29

story of one abusive power after another So it makes

02:32

sense that diffusing the power between different states would help

02:35

An ethnically diverse country thrives And of course the best

02:38

way for a country to thrive Ice cream for everyone 00:02:41.918 --> [endTime] saving sprinkles
