the civil war, people of the ethnicity started to suffer. They are been
neglected by their various state government, although they boast of rich
business men, which are seen struggling and fighting for their right.
The Igbo ethnics group have become one of
the poorest tribe in the whole country which leads to their movement from their
natives places to the west because of their lack of infrastructure and poor
business environment
2. YORUBA: This is another
pillar and great ethnicity of Nigeria. But according to research, many people
claiming that the Youths in this tribe are really poor as a result of bad
leaders in the region. Apart from Lagos (Centre of Excellence) the rest are
restricted to modern facilities such as reads, electricity etc. though many of
them are creative and intelligent, they are forsaken and badly treated
by the government.
3. FULANI: This group mostly
resides in plateau, and is well known of liable to clashes, herdsmen and
terrorist attacks, which made the tribe to be among the poorest tribe in the
country today. Fulani’s are not very rich, and mostly live in local area.
4. HAUSA: Just like the case
of Fulani’s, they also live in the most Buffering and dangerous state such as
Sokoto, thus it is impossible to avoid poverty in such tribe.
5. KANUFI: This are one of the
biggest and larges tribe as well. They occupy almost all the suffering land in
Nigeria. This fact has included them into our list.
