How comes

Now I won't argue again if they say the north controls this country

But does the north really control the country? Who is the north? Are Hausas and Fulani the same people? Aren't Fulani and Kanuri even further apart? Are Nupes not similar to Yoruba anymore? Do Fulanis control the country? Who are the Gbagyi? etc
