Are Hausas/fulani Larger Or Lesser Than Igbos And Yorubas In Number? by Nefort(op): 6:03pm On Sep 10, 2022
The hausas/fulanis currently have a major say and influence over Nigeria more than the igbos or Yorubas. But according to the figures from Wikipedia, the population of Hausas is estimated at 36,675,000 while the population of Fulanis is estimated at 13,167,832. This means the combined population of Hausas and Fulanis will be estimated at 49,842,832

The Yorubas had an estimated population of 42,844,000 while Igbos had an estimated population of 31,764,000. This means the combined population of Igbos and Yorubas is 74,608,000

Since the combined population of Yorubas and Igbos is greater than the Hausas and Fulanis then why do they have greater political power than Yorubas and Igbos? Or does it mean the population figures stated on Wikipedia are not accurate?

There is NOTHING like Hausa-Fulani
Fulanis are immigrants who met Hausa pipu in Nigeria.
They're a distinct people

Just a playful question, why is the Igbo Wikipedia page locked from editing while the page for every other ethnic groups are not locked? Why are Igbos always protective and very ethnic conscious? grin

Igbos has the highest number in population after the indeginous people of a given area in the whole of the federation.

You doubt the potency of Wikipedia but, make it a point of Referral when a South southerner claims 'no-relation' with your Tribe.

Please, get your Head in the Game!

I have no doubt in my mind that the two largest ethnic groups in Africa are Igbos and Yorubas
