Tribal conflicts uproote Nigerians: Apart from the disorganizing the scheme of normal life on the national plane, the crisis in Nigeria also distracts the life of the ordinary men in the street. Thousands of people who have been long resident in areas outside their regions of origins, where they have been making thriving living have been rudely uprooted in furtherance of the present tribal conflicts raging in the Country. An example of those is the ejection of a man, eighty-four years old Mr. Gbadamosi Aian, from his place of abode (Eastern Nigeria) simply because he belongs to another tribe. Mr. Aina, who appeared stricken with old age, claimed to have been taken to the East by his parents when he was a child. Mr. Alina who has lost contact with his people int he West fro a very long time said "II cannot trace any of my relations. My parents died when I was a very young boy in the East. I grew up knowing nothing about my relations int he West. I a,m badly worried. I feel very unbelonging."
