APC2:It's not accurate to say hausas make up the majority of the population in nigeria. In fact no tribe alone is the majority in nigeria as no single tribe is up to 30 percent of the entire population .Also,fulani numbers are exaggerated for obvious reasons . 1 Like |

spearman:Indeed. There are over 25 first-class Obas of Yoruba territories that are indigenous to Atakpame region in Togo and Benin Republic today and they regularly have meetings annually with their fellow Nigerian Yoruba Obas. Porto Novo (Ajase Ile in the Yoruba language) which is a Yoruba city used to be part of Nigeria before the British ceded it to the French in the late 1890s. Farouk Kperogi's Baruba (or Batonu) people also straddle both sides of the Nigeria/Benin border just like the Yorubas who straddle 3 countries as indigenous people. Even the Ga people who are indigenes of Accra, Ghana have an Ile Ife ancestral heritage and their king and his entourage visited the Ooni of Ife 2 years ago to reconnect with their ancestral migratory roots in Yorubaland. The Hausas of Nigeria and Niger Republic are one people. It is the colonial borders that separated them, but despite that, they still interact business-wise across the national borders on a daily basis. The famous LAKAJI trade route (Lagos, Kano, Jibia in Katsina) is the most commercial route in Nigeria, so, even for the Yorubas, and others, that route from Jibia town right across the border into Maradi in Niger Republic is a very lucrative trading route. 4 Likes 4 Shares |

planetx:That's another interesting take on the ethnicity issue. Shuwa Arabs are also found in Borno and Yobe States and they migrated originally a few centuries back from Sudan to modern-day Nigeria and Niger. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Yankee101:You're wrong here. It was the former President Buhari himself that called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene urgently in the military coup situation as the Chairman of ECOWAS. It was widely reported in the news and even posted here on NL.You can do some Googling to confirm this. However, will Buhari a Fulani (whose father is from Niger Republic, and his (Buhari's) mother a Hausa woman has a Kanuri mother) be happy to support a full invasion of Niger by a special ECOWAS military force the way Tinubu played a diplomat role in removing the Gambian former military leader Yahya Jammeh from office with Nigerian fighter jets and boots on Gambian soil remains to be seen. |

Abifarin16: Stop saying what you don't know... They joined northern Nigeria to southern Nigeria because northern Nigeria was not making profit and they kept using funds from the profits of southern Nigeria to keep their operations in northern Nigeria running. When they left Nigeria they handed it over to the Igbos not northern Nigeria.. It was the Igbos that handed Nigeria to the northerners because they wanted to control all the regions in Nigeria and planned a coup that killed the leaders of other major ethnic nations and abolished regionalism and eventually led to a civil war. 1 Like |

Language distribution does not necessarily serve as a basis for political delineation. This is how languages spread beyond political borders in Western Europe: 1. English - England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland 2. German - Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, and Switzerland 3. Spanish - Spain, Gibraltar 4. Italian - Italy, The Vatican, Switzerland 5. Catalan - Spain, Andorra 6. French - France, Belgium, Monaco, Switzerland Besides, Hausa language is not limited to Nigeria and Niger. We have it in Cameroon, Togo, Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, even as far as Sudan. |

shortgun: You are absolutely wrong ! It's not about language , infact far more than 50 % of the population speak Hausa in Niger republic , around 80% speak Hausa language, almost the entire population and they are not saying 80% of the population are Hausa people, social scientists are not dumb , the question is a function of origin and lineage through interrogation, genography , common heritage ; Niger a country that share boundaries with seven northern Nigerian states , where there are no barriers against human expansion (no imaginary boundaries can serve as barriers) ,. The Hausa people are concentrated in the southern Niger because they form boundaries with northern Nigeria and are sitting on top of northern Nigeria on the map and it's the most fertile region of Niger. While Tuareg are in the north a region of boundaries with north Africa , Tuareg are also found in North Africa; Zarma are in the region bordering Mali (north western), diffa Arabs (north Eastern Niger) , Kanuri are in the South East of Niger republic while the same Kanuri is in the north east of Nigeria, this is so because south east Niger and northeast Nigeria are adjacent each other , so there is an overflow of this tribe; So for Hausa people the more the boundaries connect , between northern Nigeria and Southern Niger , the more the overflow or expansion to and fro or in and out , afterall 50% of 25 million people in niger is just about 13 million Hausa people in niger while about 25 % of Hausa in Nigeria is 25 million Hausa in Nigeria. So what's the big deal or surprise in 13 million of Hausa in NIGER republic? tollyboy5 LordAdam16 1 Like |

SMARTMOTORS: That's the truth when two Geographical entities are sharing borders, it's no surprise that you will find the two states/countries/geographical entities having common ethnic groups; But the Colonialists went overboard, they were not circumspect in their partitioning ,they just carved out regions or divided regions among themselves for their economic advantage with no recourse to their ethnic identities. |
