Ah - I see where you were going and totally agree with your sentiments. In my opinion, tribalism is simultaneously Africa's (nay, the World's) greatest potential catalyst to overcome its tremendous problems, and also its most devastating weakness. That said, the extent language plays in such tribalism is that part of the world is debatable, as English is Nigeria's national language and the natives communicate extensively in pidgin dialects.

But you provoke interesting questions; Is it possible to mitigate or eliminate tribalism on any level, anywhere in the world? And if so, can software be integral to the process, or in any way accelerate it?

My reading of history tells me that favorable outcomes are possible in regards to both questions, however the form of such software is at the moment beyond my conception.
