Abstract
Although Nigeria is one of the most culturally diverse states in Africa, the far northern and southern areas of the country presented few problems of ethnic classification. For the most part the northern and southern groupings have attained the state level of socio-political development, and were thus clearly bounded units. They are also locally recognized identity units and have been characterized by distinctive cultural patterns. We have grouped the urban and settled Fulani with the Hausa (as Hausa-Fulani) because of the high degree to which the Fulani have been assimilated into Hausa culture and the fact that most of them use Hausa as a first language. (We use ‘Boron’ to refer to pastoralist Fulani.) The middle belt, however, is a “shatter belt” of diverse peoples who are ususally called the Plateau Peoples. We have retained this clustering though we recognize its inadequacy. The Tiv are over a million in population. Murdock subdivides these middle-belt people into three groups, but this division does not seem to have been based on culture clustering. Information is lacking to allow a more rigorous and meaningful classification at this time.
