What are the places where Nigerian minorities live ?
New Zealander scholar Jeffrey Sissons has criticized what he calls " eco - indigenism " on the part of international forums such as the Working Group on Indigenous Peoples , which he claims enforces a link between indigenous peoples and traditional economies , and also confuses the issues faced by New World indigenous , who are mostly urban dwellers and live in states dominated by people descendant from their colonizers , and by ethnic minorities in Asia and Africa who are more likely to live " close to the land " and live in states where the colonizers have long since left ( though they may still face persecution from the post-colonial successor state ) .
