scholes0: You are still clutching at straws. Keep it up. At this rate, you will ask for your village name amongst the groups. |

pazienza: You said it yourself.... Not all groups were counted. The Igbominas for example are more then the Ijebus. There was even a group there known as "Popo Ewe" who are not even Yorubas at all...... so, I am not asking for "My Village" here, I am asking for major, well known Yoruba sub-ethnicities. Should we therefore take the figures taken by such an exercise as accurate.... oh I forgot , it is accurate to you since it shows Igbos are double the Yorubas in number? Dude give it up. |

scholes0: And you think language is not a factor in determining ethnic identity? Haven't you heard the term "ethnic assimilation" I do understand your point but ethnicity has more to do with what you do and where you are than where you come from and what you used to do |

scholes0: The page 7 of that document. It accurately mentioned the boundaries of Yorubaland. And it included those that lived North of the region where the River Niger met the River Benue, ie, North of Lokoja representing the Northern Yorubas( Okun and Kwara groups) and then to the coasts, which covers the Aworis, Ilajes and the rest. |

"To show you an example of census fraud look at the census recorded population growth of Enugu (1921-2006): 1921 - 3,170 1931 - 12,959 1953 - 62,764 1963 - 138,457 1982 - 349,873 1983 - 367,567 1984 - 385,735 1987 - 446,535 1991 - 407,756 2002 - 595,000 2006 - 722,664 (From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Enugu#Demographics (Check the sources)) From the bolded you can see that there government wanted us to believe that 39,000 people just vanished from Enugu in 4 years from 1987 to 1991. Then we can see how the growth rate after the 1991 suddenly tumbles from the rapid growth seen before, between 1963 and 1983 Enugu grew by around 3 times. Nigeria itself is a sham and this thread, although needed for some, is a redundant reminder for the majority of people". |

scholes0: Regurgitating lies over and over doesn't make it true. Yorubas must realize that the era when Ndiigbo left the print media for you lots to use and spread your Igbophobic propaganda unmitigated has long gone. The era when you claimed to be the most educated and populous, just by repeating it on the pages of newspapers until gullible masses accept your lies as the truth. That era is gone, and is not coming back, you must learn to live with that reality, I know it's hard for you. No ethnic census has ever been conducted in Nigeria. Even the 1921 was not a census but an estimation. But all non politicized stats / estimations has consistently shown that Ndiigbo are more populous than Yorubas. |

macof: You need a brain transplant Surgery for not knowing the universal truth, that Ndiigbo are almost double the population of the Yorubas. A goat brain can even be used for the Surgery, as a goat has a better reasoning capacity than you, as it currently stands. |

pazienza: Yeah, I think I saw this before. I think the other populations were done the same as well. To be honest, there are no reliable statistics out there for ethnicity, all there are are estimates based on populations of the states, and as we know those statistics are also unreliable and apart from that many people live in different states, especially Igbo people. There was never a 2014 census so this thread is misleading. |

Hausa - 11,550,975 in the Northern Yoruba - 9,667,612 in the Western, 1,144,034 in the Northern = 10,811,646 Ibo/igbo - 7,967,969 in Eastern, 612,328 in mid-West, 357,915 in Northern, 208,563 in Western = 9,146,775 Other groups - 811,625 in Western, 790,878 in Eastern, 1,035,973 in Mid-West, 5,540,773 in Northern = 8,179,248 Ibibio - 1,986,493 in Eastern Edo - 852,570 in Midwest Ijaw - 786,369 in Eastern Urhobo - 516,839 in Mid West, 101,903 in Western =618,742 1 Like 1 Share |
