There is few to refer about justice in Africa and more specifically in African tribes. However, there is a lot to refer about injustices.
Nigerian tribes are the considered as the pagan inhabitants of Nigeria. The tribes of Nigeria are diverse, comprising about three hundred seventy one groups. Among the tribes of Nigeria, only three have achieved the status of ethnicity. The rest are minor ethnic group. The groups are bearers of the Nigerian culture each distinct in their own way. The major ethnic Nigeria tribes are the Hausa Fulani, Yoruba and the Ibo. The minor tribes of Nigeria are deprived of the modern resources. These people are not exposed to the world, the technological advancements actively steering the country's economy. The Hausa Fulani tribe inhabits the northern part of Nigeria, while the Yoruba and the Ibo shelters south western and the south eastern part of the country respectively.

In these Nigerian tribes, culture often surpasses the Human Rights and mainly the Women Rights. The main Human Rights problems in these tribes are female genital mutilation; domestic violence; discrimination based on sex, ethnicity and region and religion and the women’s slavery. We can also refer the lack of primary goods and resources such as food, water, health care and education.
Another major problem is based on the fact that those peoples still prefer to rely on witchery, when it came to health issues, rather than on medicine. Also the wars and fights for land caused a lot of deaths in the past (between tribes and during the colonialism).
After the Discoveries, the Europeans used to trade weapons for slaves and spice which have aggravated this problem. A curiosity: The Yoruba originated from a people known as the Oyo who arose and became quite popular by their trading with the Portuguese which gave them a large supply of guns.
It can be difficult to take justice to all the places in the World but with our help we can make great progresses in this and in other domains. You may start by "Like" We Day on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/weday) and sponsors will donate $1 to help children in Africa.
