We are talking Kano here not Kwara. Duh! The study was conducted by SWners not me.

I said tell their tribes, since you claim to be gifted in the ability to identify yorubas among hausas. While You are saying something else.
Why will a Yoruba South Westerner beggar leave Lagos, Ibadan, Benin, Abeokuta, Akure where there is actually more disposable cash Etc, and go beg in the far North to constitute 17% there, if they are not northerners themseves....

So the yoruba beggars in the SE are also northern Yorubas? Your logic is warped.

How so? 99.2% of beggars in Enugu were Igbo and Hausa. Yoruba beggars there is virtually negligible.
that is to tell you that if a south westerner wants to even go about begging, they prefer doing it in their region.

Nigeria Tribes and People



We hope to answer any question you might have about Nigeria Tribes here. Recent statistics has shown that there is over 500 different tribes in Nigeria, while most people are very much aware of the three major tribes in Nigeria; Hausa Igbo and Yoruba, there myriad of other that are yet in obscurity

Hausa is the biggest tribe in Nigeria they are the major inhabitants of about 10 state in Nigeria which includes; Bauchi, Borno, Niger,Taraba, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Kastina, Kebbi, Sokoto with traces in several other parts of the country.

The myth or origin of the Hausas began with the story of a man (Bayajidda) who ran away from the east to escape his fathers fury. and stumbled on some people that happened to be the today Hausa


The people (the Hausas) were Guarded (according to the myth) by a sacred snake that prevented them from getting water from their stream six days in a week. The man who later became their founder met a blacksmith who fashioned a knife with which he killed the snake and freed the people. In appreciation they gave him the princess of the land and they gave birth to the seven sons that made up the seven initial Hausa clans.

The Yorubas are the second amongst other Nigeria tribes, The Yoruba spiritual heritage signifiies that the Yoruba tribe are a unique people who were probably created at Ile-Ife. Legend holds that the creation was delegated by the suvreignity, Olodumare.

The name "Yoruba" is most likely an adaptation of 'Yo ru ebo', meaning "will venerate (make offerings to the) Orisha" Yoruba people remains one of the most traveled and advanced people from Western part of Africa.

The Igbos are the third largest tribe in Nigeria, they are the Nigeria industrialists. The Igbo myth of Origin traces thier origin from Nri, the myth narrates how Eri, the hero of the Igbos descended from above with his wife Namaku, he sat on an ant-hill as the land was waterlogged.

Later Chukwu Okike (The gods) sent a blacksmith who dried up the land with fire, charcoal and bellows. The couple subsequently begot four children, namely, Nri, Aguleri, Igbariam, and Amanuke in that other. And it is believed that the igbo race sprang up from this people and then the world.

Apart from the above mentioned three major tribes in Nigeria, there are about four hundred-plus other tribes like the Amo, Anaguta, Andoni, Angas, Fulani, dupe, Ibibio, Idoma, Ikwerre, Kalabari, Abou, Ijaw and several others

1.2 is the difference... but that is not my concern. When did I ever concern myself with the number of Igbos begging in Yorubaland?

Again, your logic is warped. Take a look at the map of Nigeria. From Kwara to Kano and from Kwara to SW which is nearer? It is easier for a kwaran yoruba to move to SW than moving to Kano. Plus, the article states clearly that many of the beggars, especially those of SE and SW. were not originally beggars but people who fell into hard times. In any case, kwara yoruba=yoruba. Stop denying your people. Lol

On adult education

The rates for males are higher than those of females. The rates are also higher in urban than in
the rural areas.
The result shows that among the States, Imo State had the highest literacy rate in English while
Lagos had the highest literacy rate in any language. Among the six geo-political Zones in
Nigeria, South East had the highest literacy rate in English while South West had the highest
literacy rate in any language. North West had the least literacy rate in English Language,
whereas North Central had the least literacy rate in any language
