I am from the minorities. I've lived with the Igbos all my live and still do. I grew up with the Hausas as my closest neighbours and friends and I have friends who are Yorubas.

Many of my favorite people are Igbo e.g Chimamanda Adichie but mehn, are they loud and raucous. Lol. That aside, the Igbos are a people whose drive to “make it” has benefited the country and at the same time given them a bad name. This bad name comes from their reputation of being shady business partners who don't have integrity and their poor customer relationship. A typical Igbo business man cares nothing for you once your money has entered his pocket. Yes, there are Igbo business men who have integrity but in general, Igbo business men need to do better considering that many Nigerians would create their opinion of the Igbo people based on their dealings with Igbo business men since they are everywhere. That notwithstanding, I love the Igbos for their determination to succeed despite the odds and their ability to stick to their goals until they attain success. This determination is the reason nollywood is what it is today and the reason many Nigerians can afford new dresses and shoes(thanks to ABA boys). I also love them for their patriotism to the Igbo nation though I do wish it isn't done at the detriment of Nigeria.

The Hausa-Fulanis wrongly thought of by many as an all Muslim ethnic group is considered the largest ethnic group in the country. While the Fulani's are predominantly nomads, the Hausa's like the Igbos are also business inclined but unlike the Igbos, the average Hausa business man is known to speak the truth even to the detriment of his business. This explains why most Nigerians would rather do business with them hence their rise to power. People from minority tribes like Plateau state, before the recent spate of violence, trusted the Hausa's so much, they could entrust their lives and livelihood in their hands and sleep soundly. But you should know that there are dishonest Hausa people that I myself have encountered. maybe it is these dishonest people among who are currently causing a surge in the distrust of the Hausa-Fulani nationwide. I've told my Hausa-Fulani friends that their failure to call out the few among them who kill and maim for whatever reason is a sign of acquiescence but I digress. I love the Hausa-Fulanis for their simplicity and their ability to be grateful for little. The Hausa-Fulani have a high sense of the dignity of a job and do not consider any job to be beneath them. This is an attitude all Nigerians can learn from.

The Yorubas are known down here in the north for their “kolo-kolo”(there's no English word that can capture this word but we could go with shiftiness). Known nationwide for their love for education as well as “owambe”(parties), the Yorubas are perhaps the most diverse because they are in business, education, healthcare, artisanship, etc. I love the Yorubas for their rich culture and their ability to sustain the Yoruba language despite being the most educated ethnic group.

As a whole, I think each of these major tribes feels superior to to the other and thus entitled. We see this in national politics. I think they sometimes forget that Nigeria belongs to every Nigerian. Most importantly, I think each of this major ethnic group tends to be more interested in promoting its interest at the national level than the interest of Nigeria and this shouldn't be.

There you go, that's my opinion of the Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba people of Nigeria.

P.S: There are always exceptions to any generality.

My own opinion is that the hausa-fulani, Igbo and Yoruba are different people being forced to stay together for the benefits of a few.

Differences in language, culture and style of living is the major problem why Nigeria can never be better. Since I was born, I have been hearing e go better, e go better but things keep getting worse.

These differences among Nigerians is the barrier to the growth of Nigeria. This can be likened to the reason why God made the languages different when the people with one language worked together to build close to heaven according to the Bible. This shows how easy it will be for a country of fewer tribes to grow faster.

Divide Nigeria, simple!

But there are 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria, dividing is not so easy ...

You should have ignored him. He is one of those one-sided, bias, hate filled bigots currently destroying the country.
If Nigeria suffers, we all suffer

Burruchaga71:
Three major tribe in Nigeria are Hausa, Igbo and yoruba. There is nothing like Hausa fulani. Fulanis are the minorities in Nigeria.

ygowon:
Very true. Unfortunately, the Fulani has dominated the hausaa

The Fulani are an elite representation of the Hausa,there is no Hausa without the Fulani,it's sealed forever,that is the grave danger of yielding to conquest,which many southern tribes are currently toying with, if they aren't careful they too will fall into that mess of the elites being invaders,it can happen to anyone, it happened to the English, Chinese etc.Also the Hausa are not honest, they are only to the point they have no alternative, once they have a choice their true color manifests,this is what the plateau people have been experiencing for the last decade, the true nature if the Hausa/Fulani elite who they once thought as simple honest people have become their albatross,the Yoruba are a weak people and any effective campaign against them will easily succeed,only the igbos are a relatively stable major ethnic group.Also many do not realise that the minorities are actually a better culture that the 3majors

chiefobdk2:


Rubbish write up. Hausas are honest yet they have looted Nigeria dry.. Carry ur useless assessment and shove up ur useless nyashh..
U re from minority u avoided assessing ur inconsequential tribe

ABOKI9ja:
Hausas don't have time explaining themselves to strangers but you should know your view about Hausa is totally wrong. Elites like Dangote & abdusamad are Hausas so you should know this and if you like change your view

ariesbull:
You people should stop this Hausa speak they truth... They are the most criminal minded from
Abacha to All these Hausa corrupt politician to the ones that have refused to build schools for the people so corrupt

juman:


Abacha is borno man not hausa.

Ordinary hausas on the street are the most trusted nigerians.

While today fulani is a criminal tribe.
Led by foolish leaders like buhari and others.

juman:


Averagely if you see four people in core north, hausas are three of them. three quarter of core north.
IBB, abdulsalam, etc are hausas.
Most of the leaders you see and hate so much in the core are hausas.

Largely hausas own nigeria.

ariesbull:


So all these criminals that have been changing dollars and short changing prior are not Hausa

Ganduje is Igbo

All these Hausa selling foodstuff that sell the bad products under

Hausa are bunch of criminals also

ariesbull:


Because they are bunch of corrupted minds that will be happy to see their people backward

juman:


Ganduje is fulani, he as corrupt has your state governor.

Of course there are some criminals among ordinary hausas, particularly as nigeria degenerated most nigerians become more dishonest..

juman:


IBB is hausa man.
He stole twelve billion dollars.

Many billion dollars got missing during eleven months ruling of abdulsalam.
Those governors that are hausas are as corrupt as governors from other part of the country.

My own opinion is that the hausa-fulani, Igbo and Yoruba are different people being forced to stay together for the benefits of a few.
