It also analyzes the challenges facing democracy and the process of democratic experiment in Nigeria, with historical analysis of First – Fourth Republic (1960-date). The study adopted the use of secondary data and historical analysis in data collection and analysis.rnHowever, it was discovered that ethnicity has been a major challenge to the Nigerian democracy and democratic experiment right from Nigeria’s First Republic 1960’s. The study however, made recommendations to the problem.
