The Hausa are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. They are a chiefly located in the Sahelian areas of northern Nigeria and southeastern Niger. The Hausa are a minority in every country they reside in except Niger where they constitute the majority.
A few Hausa have also moved to large coastal cities in the region however, most are concentrated in small villages or towns in West Africa, where they grow crops or raise livestock, including cattle.
