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.
don't forget that the Yoruba started Nigeria movies before the Igbos joined.
Come to think of it I wonder where the Yoruba music and movies will be without alaba.the igbos call the shorts from the top at anything movies and music.
And as for music you cannot say it's Yoruba because it is dingdong affair .
At one time it was just the Igbos at the topmost, right now it's just davido and wizkid burner boy is not Yoruba.

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
Hausas are in Yobe, Bauchi and Gombe, but they represent a minority. It's just that a lot of the ethnic groups there are muslims, speak Hausa and dress like Hausas (the likes of Yakubu Dogara) which is why to a naked eye, most people look like Hausas.

The SE and SW (outside of Lagos) are the most homogenize regions in Nigeria. Compare the Igala in one local government of Anambra and the Ijaw in one local government in Ondo to a dozen local governments in Kaduna that have non-Hausa majority.

I believe Yoruba and Igbo are more than Hausa in Nigeria population.

The British must have intentionally elevated Hausa population in order to give them an Avenue to rig during election.

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.

yoruba actors are local champions, igbos put nollywood on world map, our actors are known globally, sam loco efe benin man is popular than yolowood and all yoruba actors put together, no dey hype urself ur movies no dey pass oshogbo..

while u dominate afro genre Igbos dominate gospel music in nigeria.

Ibo music has travelled far and wide. From highlife to ibo gospel. As per movie, we would get there, there's an ibo film industry on the rise. Mind you the first nollywood film was produced in ibo

Hausas own nigeria.

Every ten people you see in nigeria, hausas are three of them.
If you see three people, one of them nah hausa person.

Nigeria = Hausa land.

Reggae majek fashek

We have all genres

Yoruba and music are very connected
Even burnaboy was influenced by fela
His Yoruba mother was a fela back up
His grandfather was fela's manager

Burnaboy puts Yoruba in all his songs even the ones with international artistes

Google the 5 best Nigerian actors
Also Google 5 best directors


Let's see

And gospel
Bring proof

Burnaboy has oluwaburna
He says it more than odowgwu
And he puts Yoruba in all his songs too
Burnaboy is nothing without fela's influence


Jagaban is not a Yoruba word

Nigerian entertainment industry is deep rooted in Yoruba influence
Maybe because of Lagos
