Nigerian People, History And Culture

Famous for her huge population of more than 150 million and with more than 370 ethnics groups, Nigeria has the highest population in African continent. The country is made up of three major ethnic groups namely: the Hausa-Fulani, the Yorubas and the Igbos – and they represent around 70 per cent of the population. Another 10 per cent comprises of several other groups numbering more than 1 million members each, including the Kanuri, Tiv, and Ibibio. More than 300 smaller ethnic groups account for the remaining 20 per cent of the population.

The Hausas / Fulanis


The Hausa and Fulani people are located mostly in northern part of Nigeria. With a population of over 30 million, they have the largest population in West Africa because of their intermarriages and constant interaction with different peoples.
The Igbos


Igboland is the home of the Igbo people and it covers most of the south-eastern Nigeria. This area is divided by the Niger River into two unequal sections – the eastern region and the midwestern region. The river, however, has not acted as a barrier to cultural unity; rather it has provided an easy means of communication.

The Yorubas


Yoruba people live mostly in Southwestern Nigeria. They have developed a variety of different artistic forms including pottery, weaving, beadwork, metalwork, and mask making. Most artwork is made to honour the gods and ancestors and since there are more than 401 known gods to the Yoruba there is much sculpture and artwork made.

Nigeria Culture, facts about Nigeria, customs, business and social ethics

In Nigeria culture is very important. Thinking big is what separates us from other Africans. As a business traveler, you want to prepare yourself for any cultural shocks you may come across. This article will focus on the following points:

1. Politics and The Economy – You need this to understand the influences in behaviors.

2. Attitudes to Business, Communications style and Values – Giving people money with your left hand shows a lack of home training.

3. Social Ethics and Negotiation tactics – Have you ever been in a bar full of Nigerians arguing about politics? Witness the pride, passion and DECIBEL LEVELS.

Politics and The Economy

Nigeria culture both business and social is influenced heavily by its politics.

The country is currently experiencing the longest period of civilian rule and democracy in its history.

Many Nigerians consider their country to be an African Super Power and are very proud of that perception but we always complain of not fulfilling our potential as a Great Nation up till now.

Officially, facts about Nigeria says the country has a population of 140mpeople. Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano are the most developed cities.

Religion

Most people you come across in the big cities will either be Christians or Muslims.

Christianity is the dominant religion in the south as Islam is in the north.

Abuja the capital has a national mosque and church, and is seen as a tribal melting pot that also crosses religious line.

Generally, Nigeria's Muslims and Christians are very tolerant of each other.

Economically, the country's main export is Oil. Nigerians will tell you oil has been a gift and a curse.

The National Church

Past governments' failure to diversify the economy from Oil and chronic neglect of public infrastructure is seen as the root to Nigeria's economic problems of poverty and high unemployment.

However, reform has been under way since 1999 and there is some optimism that the country has turned a corner.

You'll notice symbols of Nigeria's vast wealth amongst its decaying public infrastructure.

I see these challenges as business opportunities but the Federal and State Governments need to solve the infrastructure problem like power and transport before Nigeria can really develop as a regional Economic powerhouse.

The National Mosque

Most ordinary men and women consider the country rich in natural resources and human capital but are deeply frustrated with the poverty.

Sixty percent of Nigerians live below the poverty line. The Government and Corporate elite are comfortable.

You may notice the frustrations in different forms such as rent seeking behavior or with street traders.

But generally, in Nigeria culture people are friendly and are very welcoming by nature.

Language

There are three main ethnic groups in Nigeria the Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba.

Although these three groups have their own languages, English is the official and main Language for Business.

Outside of offices or corporate establishments people speak Pidgin English.

You may find yourself picking out English words but may struggle to grasp the meaning. An example is I dey go work.

Which means I am going to work.
