Ethnic groups of Nigeria
The Federal Republic of Nigeria is home to between 250 and 400 distinct ethnic groups and around 500 different spoken languages. However, only eight major ethnic groups comprise 81% of the population (2018 estimate), and these groups are the Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo, Ibibio, Kanuri, Tiv, and Ijaw. The great ethnic diversity of the nation has its benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, it showcases Nigeria’s vibrant cultural tapestry. However, it has also played a part in the long-term political, economic, and religious conflicts that have afflicted the nation.
