According to Wikipedia, Nigeria has 250 ethnic groups. The most populous and politically influential include: Hausa and Fulani 29%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo (Ibo) 18%, Ijaw 10%, Kanuri 4%, Ibibio 3.5%, Tiv 2.5%. Languages: English (official), Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo (Ibo), Fulani, and over 500 additional indigenous languages.

The Fulani Population in Nigeria is just about 7 millions which is about 8.5% of the Total population of Nigeria. Taking away 8.5 from the 29% of the combined figure will make Hausa 20.5% and this portray Yorubas as the largest ethnic group in Nigeria seconded by Hausa then Igbos etc .

Yoruba - 21%
Hausa. - 20.5%
Igbos -. 18%
Ijaws. -10%

They are rulling everywhere even expanding to West Africa

Lol, where did you get this nonsense population statistics from

they dominate the Nigeria military and police force, and the judiciary system.

Blame Obasanjo! He was the one who was always desperate to hand over to the fulanis. He did that in 1979, he did so again in 2007.. Since Hassan Katsina saved his ass during the coup, he felt he owe them one.. Even all through the 70s, middle belt officers did their best to keep the fulani officers at bay. But after Dimkas coup, Obasanjo again went on a killing spree that annihilated officers of the middle belt extraction in the military. He has always trusted them inspite of their murderous ways. The built their dominant political positions during this period..Now he's complaining all over the place..
