The Hausa's also have a different presentation of the language depending on where you are from. The Hausa's in Jos, Kaduna and Nasarawa speak with a different tonation compared to those in Katsina, Yobe, Sokoto, Kano and Adamawa.
Nigeria is home to seven percent of the total languages spoken on earth. Now, how amazing is that!
Some states have as many as 30 languages. For example Taraba state has more ethnic groups than you can find in some African countries. Now, is that not a wealth. It makes room for making so much from this cultures that we can derive if promoted well.
Benin ( the Edo people) are known to be very famous for their interest in promoting their culture through powerful use of art.
The Yoruba's are known for their proud display of culture through their music. Yoruba's musicians always find a way to infuse their language into their music. Fela paved the way.
Some ethnic groups are perhaps swallowed because most ethni groups in Nigeria were created out of the wealth of other ethnic groups.
Nigeria has a lot of minor ethnic groups, these ethnic groups also have rich cultures but as earlier mentioned are swallowed by the domination of the major ethnic groups.
