NIGERIA: Hausa/Fulani Is Not A Major Tribe

As a matter of fact, there are no official 'Major' tribal group called Hausa/Fulani in Nigeria. Hausa is a minor tribe in Kano who are not up to 3000 in number, and history has it that they are Nigeriens that came to settle in Kano around 19/20th century, and have taken their Hausa language with them. Traders from Maiduguri, Kano
and Chad basins also helped in disseminating the language. This same history is also related to the Fulanis.
There are over 180 tribes among the 19 northern states in Nigeria, including Yorubas in Kogi and Tivs and Idomas(Ette) in Benue and Kogi, whose ethnicity are not in anyway related to Hausa. But all identify as Northern Hausa/Fulani. Making Hausa the largest ethnic group in Africa, and as well the most spoken language after swahili. The idea of Hausa/Fulani as major language in Nigeria is a shell, thanks to the language.
