Quote from
Ali-Ogba, A History of The Ogba People
 by, F.J. Ellah

"Foreign scholars have made much fuss about the multitude of ethnic groups in Nigeria. Impartial investigation indicates that these multitudinous (P) (sic) groups have in fact very much in common-

common origins, common cultural traits, commnon ancestors. It may be that Nigeria is, after all, not a mere "geographical expression", but an association of peoples whose ancestors had a common history and a common experience - a people with a common destiny."
