first of all, its a tribe not race. secondly there is no tribe called Hausa/Fulani. you have Hausa tribe as well as Fulani tribe. hausa/Fulani is a political conglomerate. they are two different tribes with a common political interest. thirdly if they are to split based on tribe, you will be surprised to know that Ijaw which is the fourth largest tribe is bigger than each of them.
note: North has many other tribes, but Hausa Fulani rules them because right from long time ago, they understand the principles of unity in diversity.

to answer your question based on your understanding of Hausa/Fulani, kindly look at the map of Nigeria and calve out the states you considered as belonging to Hausa/Fulani, then compare the size to any other tribe and judge.
among tribes in Nigeria, which tribe(s) has the highest average wife(ves) and children to one man, by your answer, which tribe should have higher population?

I disagree sir.
The Hausa is purportedly 21%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo 18% and Fulani 17%, Ijaw are about 10% and others follow.
Though, I have a feeling that the Fulani population is actually padded. They are not more than 9%.
It shows that if Yoruba's, Igbo and Ijaw really wants a political alignment with others in the South and Middlebelt, we can send these guys packing. But, will Igbo amaka allow such? Time will tell.

You're asking if Igbo will allow such, when Yoruba are the main traitors who can never agree with other Southerners,

BTW Fulanis are 7% not 17%

There is no such ethnic group in Nigeria called Hausa-fulani. it's a political term that majorly refer to assumed unwritten political understanding between Hausa people and Fulani people. Fulanis are different tribe from Hausa people.
The population of 180million people in Nigeria is quite a scam. it's a lie that has official recognition. I don't know where they got it from and there is no accurate data to determine which ethnic group is the largest but left to me,I will say it's Hausa.

Your claim on Fulani population is very ridiculous. The population of Fulanis in Nigeria is not up to 8percent of the country's population. The state in Nigeria that has largest Fulani population is Adamawa state and their population there is not up to 1.5million.

We know Nigeria is corrupt so I refuse to believe our population statistics. Whether it's 180 or really 120 or 200. I just can't trust the government with such figures.
I need to visit more than Lagos and Abuja to have a feel for the most populous tribe within Nigeria.

Using the word 'Traitor' is too hard and uninformed.
Can you in all sincerity provide any evidence when we've ever had a united South politically before?
If you can prove that, I will gladly accept your verdict on the Yoruba race, if you can't, you must apologize to the Yoruba race.
Will you take the challenge?

your point is quite laughable. I live in north. Educated Hausas don't have kids the way you claim. Among the uneducated poors,how many of their plenty children survives privations and diseases. Do you know the number of kids that die in the north due to malaria alone?

how can yoruba be 21% and igbo18% ? when in reality igbo is the highest most populous ethnic group after the indigenes in every state in Nigeria. igbo has the highest diaspora population in Africa living around the world.Go out there and do a common analysis and see for yourself and stop these percentage lies .

Did you count the bodies to realize 2million? my family didn't record any dead in that war like wise many other families. Everyone knows that the igbo population is far higher than the Yoruba from time immoral. From a physical head count in every state in Nigeria to diaspora headcount around the world,its undisputable that the igbo population is higher than Yoruba's.
