Being the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, Hausa have always beensome of the main players in Nigerian politics since Nigeria wasgranted independence from Britain in 1960.

Yoruba

Second ethnic group Yoruba people live mostly in SouthwestNigeria. They have developed a variety of different artistic formsincluding pottery, weaving, beadwork, metalwork, and maskmaking. Most artwork is made to honour the gods and ancestorsand since there are more than 401 known gods to the Yoruba thereis much sculpture and artwork made.



Yoruba are usually identified as Christian or Muslim, although alot of Yoruba still uphold traditional aspects of their ancestorsreligious practices and beliefs. This ethnic group upholds manycultural traditions, including music and culture festivals, traditionalYoruba art, and conventional architecture. The Yoruba culture hashistorically relied on large populations in a centralized location andan Oba (King).

Ijaw

The Ijaw live in the Niger River Delta area of Nigeria andconstitute around 10% of the population of the country. The Ijawhave historically had tensions with the rest of the Nigerianpopulation. The lands in which the Ijaw inhabit are extremely oil-rich.
