In another part of the book, he talks about how in Nigeria there aren't any government-run social programs because since the families are so large, everyone has plenty of relatives to turn to in a time of distress.

And we all know how swell things are going in Nigeria. Are we in the millions yet -- or still just thousands -- in number of murders between these happy, large families in the past few years? |
The violence is a result of the fact that Nigeria's borders were drawn without regard to ethnic, religious, tribal, or historical boundaries. There are hundreds of mutually hostile groups and and lot of oil up for grabs. All this spells trouble.
Still, having a large group of people to fall back on for support is a good idea. If nothing else, having more relatives ups your chances of getting more graduation money.
