#NigeriaAt55: Top 10 Biggest Cultural Groups In Nigeria

Posted by: BalogunAdesina in Breaking News, Metro life Comments Off on #NigeriaAt55: Top 10 Biggest Cultural Groups In Nigeria

Yoruba and Hausa

The Yoruba and Hausa are estimated to constitute about 21% of Nigeria’s population each. This means that the two cultures together almost make up half of Nigeria’s population.

Another amazing fact is that the two cultures extend significantly beyond Nigeria, with the Yorubas also found in Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso and Niger. In Nigeria, we have an estimated 35 million Yoruba people.

The Hausas on the other hand can be found in great numbers in south eastern Niger. They are also found in parts of Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, Togo, Ghana, Sudan, and Gabon. Just like the Yorubas, there are about 35 million Hausa people in Nigeria
