T
he paper is centred on the critical analysis of sociocultural
systems in Nigeria with particular emphasis on family,
marriage and religion. Family, marriage and religion is viewed
with high esteem in Nigeria especially among the various ethnic
groups in Nigeria. These social structures are too distinct among
the Igbos, the Yorubas and the Hausa/Fulani extractions. The
aim of this study is to examine the role of family, marriage and
religious ties in reconstructing the Nigeria society as well as
developing the people. The methodology employed in the study
is the in depth analysis of secondary data. The study contends
that each of these aspects of socio-cultural systems differs from
one ethnic group or the other. This is because each group or
society in Nigeria has experienced totally very peculiar/different
challenges and problems in its environment, and has had to
adopt markedly different set of solutions in solving the problems.
However, the paper opined that modernization has affected these
social-cultural systems in terms of practices and beliefs. Hence
the paper recommends that the cultural practices and beliefs that
hold the people together should be explored and upheld towards
the overall transformation of the society and its people. This
will go a long way in reconstructing the people towards a better
society.
