The study opines while the debate as to the existence of a correlation between social media expression and offline political participation is on-going. The high risk associated with political participant and its expensive nature has been replaced by a more cost effective and all encompassing medium. However, the advent of social media and the growth of techno-culture revolutionised social cohesion. The ability of underlying ethnicities and nationalities to shun ethno-nationalism remains a near impossible task. More than over half a century preceding the attainment of independence in Nigeria, the concept of nation building still dominates developmental, political and policy discourse in the polity.

In lieu, the study is of the view that the need for constitutional amendment that accommodates fiscal restructuring as means to domesticating political involvement. Evidently, empirical data shows appointment to high profile office remains particularly ethnocentric and nepotistic. Visibly, its inaptitude to foster equitable distribution of socio-economic infrastructure and high profile political offices depicts the inefficacies that underpin power-sharing accord in Nigeria. Upon reviewing prior literature, the research is of the opinion that the existing power-sharing agreement in Nigeria is found wanting, particularly so in its inability to attain central predetermined outcome of diffusing persisting regional dominance. The federal character Principle was instituted in tandem with aspirations of fostering political inclusion across federating units in contemporary Nigeria. The underlying literary endeavor set out to interrogate the practicality of consociational power-sharing agreement that abounds in Nigeria’s Federal Character Principle.
