Ethnic Relations: A Study of Hausa Community in Ogbomoso, Nigeria- (1924- 1967)

ABSTRACT This work is a study of the inter ethnic relations between the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups in Ogbomoso. The main objective of the work is to study the phenomenon of inter ethnic contact between the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups in Ogbomoso. Inter ethnic contact could lead to conflict or integration. In this work, studies have shown that, unlike the process of the establishment of Hausa community Ibadan, the establishment of Hausa Community in Ogbomoso did not experience violent inter ethnic conflicts. This was due to the peculiar nature of the inter-ethnic relations between the two groups as well as longer period of contact
