| Complete List Of Nigerian Tribes And The States Of Nigeria Where They Live by jidxin(m): 11:39am On Jan 16, 2017 |
The Yoruba tribe constitute almost 21 % of the population of
Nigeria and this translates to about 40 million people.
They inhabit the southwestern part of Nigeria but also live in other
countries in West Africa including Benin, Ghana, Togo and
surprisingly, the Caribbean. They are well involved in arts and
have a long history of poetry and between 1100 to 1700, they
made impressive bronze sculptures, most of which were made to
represent the heads of gods and rulers. They also made lots of
beadwork, metalwork, weaving and mask making.

jidxin:
The Yoruba tribe constitute almost 21 % of the population of
Nigeria and this translates to about 40 million people.
They inhabit the southwestern part of Nigeria but also live in other
countries in West Africa including Benin, Ghana, Togo and
surprisingly, the Caribbean. They are well involved in arts and
have a long history of poetry and between 1100 to 1700, they
made impressive bronze sculptures, most of which were made to
represent the heads of gods and rulers. They also made lots of
beadwork, metalwork, weaving and mask making.
