Tribe is top-quality key in Africa politics

Tribe is  of sociology defined as a social group bound together by kin and duly associated with a particular territory; members of tribe shares alot of common things and origins .

The use of tribalism or ethnicity in politics is unfortunately a common phenomenon in many parts of Africa, and it is not unique to the continent. It is often used by politicians to exploit the loyalty and support of people who identify strongly with their tribe or ethnic group. By appealing to people’s sense of tribal identity, politicians can gain the support of a large number of voters who may feel that their interests and values are best represented by someone from their own tribe.

Tribalism can also be used to create divisions between different groups in society, which can be useful for politicians who want to consolidate their power base. By portraying themselves as the champion of one particular tribe or ethnic group, politicians can create a sense of “us versus them” that can be used to rally support and mobilize voters.

Not all is lost in the jungles but still there is hope at end of the tunnel, not all the politicians uses tribe to hunt votes and others are using some unique ways to influence like building Islamic schools and initiating fundraising for sick ones .

However, the use of tribalism in politics can also be highly divisive and can lead to conflict and violence, particularly in societies where different ethnic groups have a history of conflict. It can also undermine the development of a strong sense of national identity, which is essential for building a cohesive and stable society.

Not all is lost in the jungles, there are hopes at the end of the tunnel, some upcoming politicians are doing tremendous work for their society by building highly demand institutions like hospitals, fundraising to the sick ones and many more

Tribe is good when it’s uses in the right directions like helping the relative for contributing some money but in other ways tribes dirty it divide the society and politicians enjoy the seat .
