People Ethnicity is one of the key identifiers of groupings in Nigeria and plays an important role in understanding the Nigerian pluralistic society. Ethic groupings vary from 250 to as many as 400. Hausa-speaking groups are normally found in the north and the Kanuri in the North East. The Fulani people are considered nomads but are mostly found in the north.
Much tension still exists between Nigerian people along the line of ethnicities.
Such conflict can be found in areas where there is to be distribution of limited resources. The army and civil service are examples of such simmering conflict. Most Nigerians still live in farming villages. All rights reserved. This content may only be stored for personal and non-commercial purposes.
