There are six North Eastern states in Nigeria: Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, Taraba, Gombe, and Yobe. These states are mostly Muslims, with a minority of Christians and traditional worshipers. While many people in northeast Nigeria speak Hausa and Fulfulde in inter-ethnic settings, other major indigenous languages include Kanuri, Bura-Bapir, and Maafa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally, most languages found in the states fall under different language families like Chaddic, Afro-Asiatic, and Bantu. In terms of economy, North East, which is one of the 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria, is the poorest. It is also known for incessant terrorist attacks and has been marred by Boko Haram for over a decade.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the region is the largest region by size in the country. It is, however, the second least populated geopolitical zone in Nigeria. Its population is over 26 million.<\/p>\n
