The 30% credited to Hausa, which I believe is all the northern States of Nigeria has over 10% of Southerners and Easterners living in the north who also undergo population count in the north.with this development, the 30% figure for the Hausa's is no longer realistic.

How 6% cow rearing Fulanis were able to dominate 30% of Hausas is mind boggling. This goes to show that the Almajarinci islamic system of education of the hausas has caused more harm than good.

The South needs to come together politically and put these parasites into political oblivion thus, those saboteurs in the south I.e Tinubu, Muric, and co who are hell bent to asslicking gworo chewing and cow rearing foolanis needs to be jettisoned so as to create a formidable southern unity and coercion.

But Ijaw should be 1.2%.

Ibibios are greater than Ijaws.

It will only interest you to know that by figure, Yorubas and Igbos are by and large the most populated ethnicities in Nigeria. In 2k6 during census everyone was counted as northerner in the north and we were too numerous in the north. 'Hausa is the largest ethnic group' is one of the most epic lies in the history of Nigeria

Hausas are only majority in 1 out of 6 geopolitical zones, the NW. The NW is also populated by Fulanis and smaller ethnic groups in southern kaduna. How does that translate to 30% Hausa? Also, the info from wikipedia is from CIA, and they are notorious for cooking up statistics from thin air. The same CIA said Hausas are 21% in 2020. How did the population of Hausas grew by 9% or 18 million people in just a year?

I agree that the 30% is too high.I think a realistic figure will be Hausa 24%,Yoruba 22%,igbos 18%,fulanis 10%.
Hausas are not only in north west but north east in states like bauchi,yobe,gombe and in north central states like Niger,nasarawa...yorubas are not the only tribe in south west.we have the ijaws in ondo.there are also igalas in anambra and enugu state and idoma in ebonyi

Ndi Igbo are at least 1 percent of the inhabitants of any state in Nigeria,do you doubt that ? Do you also know what it translate to in numbers.
Could you believe that they are up to 10 percent in places like Lagos etc
Have you visited Igbo land on a festive period like Christmas. ?

to cut d long story short, if igbo are so many like u said, how come igbo movie and music Industry no dey go far like Yoruba. That's simply because igbo no plenty to watch it. Check d followers of Instagram celebrity speaking yoruba and dose ones speaking igbo as another example.
