Although there is nouniversally acceptable definition of minority, any disempowerment regardless of thenumerical size, should be considered a minority. Table 3.10 shows that there were 15different ethnic groups which had populations of less than 25,000 persons henceconstituting less than 0.1 percent of the indigenous population.2 NB: The classification of ethnic groups has been changing over time. Therefore, part of the difference realised is due to subdivisionof ethnic groups in subsequent censuses.29
