Indigene/ settler issue

There is a good Human Rights Watch report on the marginalisation and tension created by the indigene/ settler issue in Nigeria at:

hrw.org/english/docs/2006/04/24/nigeri13260.htm

The label that people are given can greatly effect their access to services, employment and political positions among other things. This issue has also contributed to the violent events that have taken place in recent years.

It is an issue that doesn't involve me personally as an outsider and am very well looked after here so no need to worry :-)
