But as \u003ci\u003eNigeria's Diverse Peoples\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates, most of Nigeria's problems today were set in motion by Europeans during the slave trade and colonial eras. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on three main ethnic groups (Hausa-Falani, Yoruba, and Igbo) and ranging from precolonial times to independence in 1960 to the present, this breakthrough study portrays a Nigeria now striving to make a unified nation of itself.
