Although Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of landmass, it is among the fastest growing states in the world. As a result of migration since the nineteenth century, Lagos State also has large populations of non-native Nigerian ethnic groups with Edo, Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, and Nupe peoples among other Nigerian groups.
