Jakemedg:
Op i thought the population of Yorubas in the world should be close to 49 million and igbos 47 million?

I posted the links for all the figures I gave. You can check for yourself. But if you have a proof for your own figures, then go ahead and post it.

Jakemedg:
The Fulani's speak the hausa language than their own language Fulfude (i don't know if i got the spelling right) while the Hausas adopted and absorbed the Fulani culture .
Most at times they're both called Hausa -Fulani

Hausa-Fulani term is a POLITICAL CONTRAPTION. But that's my opinion and that's a topic for another day.

Seerade029:
You didn't answer me nah, how do you differentiate them in group if you see them.


Except a person is from the same blood of Igbo and Yoruba parents, otherwise I can diffrenctiate the two if I see them in group.

You might need to do a personal research on that. It's not a BLACK and WHITE contrast. There are many grey areas. It's like White people, to them African Black people look alike and it's hard to differentiate. But for us African Blacks, we can differentiate ourselves easily. And to Black African people, Caucasian White people look the same to us, it's hard to differentiate. But for Caucasians, they can easily differentiate themselves, like Scottish, American, British, Irish, Scandinavian etc.

Same thing applies to this Hausa / Fulani differentiation. Personally, in my opinion, as per physical characteristics, Hausas are generally Bulkier, generally more dark skinned and thick headed. But Fulanis are generally slimmer, more fair / brown skinned and slender headed etc. A Hausa man's face is usually kind of bold and expressive, but a Fulani man's facial appearance is usually kind of soft or tender some how. Hausa noses are typically regular, but Fulani typically is pointed as per African comparison. Also, tribal marks help to distinguish but that system is gradually fading from society totally.

Anyways, that's just my own personal way of identifying them separately from afar. And you have to be aware that these physical characteristics OVERLAP between the 2 Tribes sometimes. But beyond this, the major difference is accent. Hausa accent is different from Fulani accent and if you have gotten familiar with hearing them speak, you should be able to tell them apart.

And hope you know that there's a lot of intertribal marriages between these 2 Tribes in Northern Nigeria and you have many mixed children as a result bearing both resemblances. So there will always be a lot of grey areas.

First 2 = Hausas
Last 2 = Fuldes

Meet the Yorubas 2nd Largest Tribe in Nigeria by global population.

Seerade029:
How do you differentiate a Hausa and a Fulani?

They are different Tribes and different people. That they share some cultural and religous similarities doesn't mean they are the same people. Their Languages are different. Hausas own the Hausa Language. Fulbes (aka Fulanis) own the Fulfulde language (or Fula). Hausas are the BIGGEST tribe in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Fulanis are not.

If you have better pictures, please post it

The PURPOSE of this thread is for LEARNING. This thread is solely for educational purposes and we're meant to be having INTELLECTUAL DISCUSSIONS. So don't just come here and be making vague claims with invisible or undocumented statistics.

If you want to make a contrary claim, THAT IS 100% FINE, if you have a different figure or statistics, that's allowed BUT don't just drop numbers and figures and statistics you pulled out from the wind or your imagination or pocket etc.

If you know a tribe that has a population higher than these ones I listed and qualifies to be on this list, then please by all means, drop your evidence or proof; so that we can all review it to see how accurate it is. And if it qualifies and checks out fine, then it will be included.

Until that happens, this list will remain as it is. So far so good, this list is 100% FACTS and accurate.

Guys before I made this post, I searched through the popular tribes I know. Of course, I didn't search all the over 200 tribes in Nigeria, because I don't have time for that. But I searched on the major tribes I know in the North, Central, East, West and South of Nigeria.

If you have a contrary statistics with PROOF, then provide it here, simple, and if it is found to be credible and accurate, I will adjust this list I have posted. But until THEN, this list is 100% FACTS! I did my research before making this thread.

And for those that are allowing their ethic bias and sentiments and emotions cover their eyes and are not seeing clearly, just calm down and re-read the write up SLOWLY. You will see that this post has to do with GLOBAL POPULATION of the Tribes, not population in Nigeria only.

Blankstare:
The Nupe's are more populous than the ijaws and the Ibibios

You're wrong. The global population of Nupes is estimated at 4.5 million people
