Nigeria's Majority Tribe You Did Not Know by Nigeria2040: 12:42pm On Sep 22, 2019
Before it was believed that the Hausa/Fulani are the majority tribe in Nigeria followed by Yoruba then Igbos, Efik/Ibibio before Ijaws cam fifth.

It was during the regime of Goodluck Jonathan that they start counting only single ethnic group which put the Ijaws fourth and Ibibio fifth after Efik where saperated from Ibibio. I wander why Nigeria is still recognizing the Hausa/Fulani as a single ethnic group who are very different both in languages and occupations, we all know that Fulanis are majorly headsmem and they speaks fulfulde whether in Nigeria, Sudan, or Niger
While Hausa's are majorly farmers and they speak hausa. Yoruba's are the second largest ethnic group in Nigeria so taking away Fulani from Hausa will make the Yorubas the largest ethnic group according to population follows by
Hausa then Igbos, Ijaws, Ibibios, Fulanis etc. Is it the that the Yorubas are so timid that they don't want to take their rightful position as the no. 1 Single ethnic group in Nigeria?

All record by the British colonialists have always put Igbo population above that of the Yorubas so I don't know where you're getting your Igbo being third in population. Until a credible census bearing ethnic groups is done, no one can say for now exactly who is what. Forget population size and focus on the development of your people.
