Though they occasionally conferred citizenship on the locals it was mainly for political purposes.

Well actually Nigeria is like a lot of Africa and the middle east it is made up of either tribal or religious groups. Maybe they see themselves as separate and distinct? They have distinct languages and customs that define them. I have seen Africans shun each other because of their different tribes and the same with Indians who also have a caste system they use to discriminate.
