NOTE

MAJORITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS
Majority interest refers to the rights of the major dominant ethnic groups in a given society or country while minority interest is the rights of several small ethnic groups scattered all over the states of the federation

Nigeria has three major ethnic groups: Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa-fulani which forms the majority groups while we have the larger minorities inclusive of the Ijaw, Ibibio, Edo etc while other tribes are the smaller minorities. Since minority is both a political and numerical category therefore some ethnic groups felt a sense of injustice and marginalization it is on this basis the struggles for the recognition of the rights of the minorities ensued

 

REASONS FOR PROTECTING MINORITY INTEREST

  1. to ensure equal distribution of the national resources
  2. to promote the stability of the country
  3. to prevent wars and violence
