Nigerian Tribes And Their Most Popular Hustle by lewispius: 6:04pm On May 30, 2016
God bless Nigeria, we are diverse in our tribal make up and orientation but our
beauty is in our diversity. There are various tribes notorious for different hustle
but I've chosen to pick 6 to highlight.



1. Igbos__Chemist(Pharmacy)

The lovely energetic Igbo people are popular for being very industrious and are
known for a lot of things, ranging from spare parts dealers to selling foodstuff but
the niche where they are unrivalled the most is pharmacies, chances are that any
“chemist” as laymen call them you meet are Igbo.

2. Yoruba__Taxi Drivers

The lively, fun-filled Yoruba people are most popular for their jolly, easing going
lifestyle. When it comes to partying and enjoying themselves they are the highest.
While they are popular for hustles ranging from Mama put (Roadside food vendor)
to selling female native wears but the higher percentage of taxi drivers are most
likely Yoruba people.

3. Hausa__Suya Sellers

The hospitable Hausa people are most popular for their generosity, hospitality in
Nigeria. When it comes to giving they rank one of the highest, they are also very
easy going. While they are popular for hustles like selling sugar cane, fruits, water
delivery (Meruwa) their most popular hustle is selling Suya, chances are that 97%
of suya sellers are Hausa men.

4. Ibibio/Efik__Housekeepers

The ever lovely Efik and Ibibio people are actually two different tribes from Cross
River and Akwa-Ibom collectively, they share the same boundary. They are known
for their culinary prowess, zealous hard work and stamina in bed. The hustle they
are most notable for though is being great housekeepers. While this has toned
down in modern times, there is a high chance the bulk of housekeepers will be
Akpan or Ekaete.

5. Igala__Babalawo

The Igala people are from Kogi state, they are a minority group, there is a general
misconception that they are very wicked people as a general stereotype but they are
more than that, However they are notorious for being Shamans (Babalawo). Most
of the heavy babalawos you are likely to meet if you patronize such will most
likely be Igala.

6. Ijaw -- Ogogoro making

7. Urhobo -- Collection of deveh

6. Bini (Edo)__International Raketts

Bini my pipo (no pun intended), The Bini people from Benin, Edo state are well
known for their heritage, the Benin Kingdom has been a great kingdom for pre-
colonial times till the colonial era. They were famous for their highly organized
system of monarchy and architectural feat with the longest city wall not made
from just clay without mortar. Due to their zeal for travelling abroad to make
ends meet they are the most likely people you will meet in Europe practising the
oldest profession of prostitution.
