bros, nobody will settle anything for you, I'm currently in Jos. I cannot lie just to please myself like you do.

It seems you have not been to the major northern cities before, if not you won't be saying this trash.

I can see you're not okay at all! I haven't been to the places my father used to live and work

Why am I even replying to someone that said there are more Igbos in Sabon Gari

You think sabon gari market is the only place in Sabon gari grin grin

Stop deceiving yourself, yorubas are not known travellers, Yoruba are not that much in the Northern part of Nigeria, apart from indigeneous people in the North, Igbos are next biggest ethnic group there. Yorubas are not traders and travellers, even lagos there back yard have almost equal number of Igbos

You must be a boy.Sorry if that sound to undermine you. I've said it that people can assume anything just like you. In a state like Plateau, there are more ethnic groups around the middle belt than igbo.mschew, I can't be trading stuff with u.

not because I said so, but because its the truth. I'm currently in the north.

Are you foolish? Did the census board provide any data for tribe population distribution? Why are you this foolish? Another place you can tell me yorubas are much outside southwest is port Harcourt ( they are majorly the bus and taxi drivers along rumuokoro/rukpokwu/igwuruta/elele/choba/emohua axis) ask tonyebarcanista if you think I'm lying (if he will tell you the truth) or ask abagworo. Apart from PH and maybe abuja, yorubas are not really outside southwest.

You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. You igbos are fond of shifting goal posts when situations don't favour you. If the census doesn't favour your tribe or region you reject it and come up with all kinds of ridiculous excuses. At least there's official data of states population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_states_by_population

Why una all no relocate en masse back to your region to boost your numbers and help yourselves during the census? You are just bitter at the mere idea that Yorubas actually do outnumber you all in the North, in spite of all your vain noises. Your real grouse is that of all the regions in Nigeria, the SE is the only region which Yorubas relatively shun. Whether you believe that there are Yorubas in significant numbers up North is irrelevant at the end of the day because you are a non-entity in the overall scheme of things.

Who was part of the few that governed the State? Am I Jonathan? I don't blame you! I really don't! If not for the system we won't be talking this. If the British had consulted my ancestors in 1914, I am very sure we would have rejected the arrangement. If the British had addressed our concern in the 1940s, I'm very sure that all these won't come up! If Jonathan had convoked SNC, we would have addressed this nonsense.

I thought you'll switch to your Ijawcitizen handle to comment on this thread.

By the way, you are getting emotionally worked up on this issue. I suggest you sit back and observe. Watch it! lest an artery bursts in your brain.

On a lighter note tongue, El-Rufai did admit that at least a sizable number of those landed property were demolished coz igbos were most affected by those demolitions back then during his tenure. cheesy Besides, like I said up there, the more than three million strong Yoruba populations in Kwara and Kogi already settles it, after all both states fall within the North grin.

yorubas re the owner of kwara state but the hausas use their scaring power to usurp the emir of ilorin which is a yoruba man and installed an hausa man there. Till date ,a yoruba man just kept quiet without doing nothing.

So my brother, I am not dragging kwara with you cos the yorubas re like indigenes there. But when we talk of kano,kaduna,sokoto and jos. No go there. Even abuja the indigenes confirmed it that ndigbos re the highest in population who occupied 73% of lands in abuja.

Let's even assume that the el-rufai statement is an indicator of igbo predominance in the FCT population (which it isn't), do you have any evidence that remotely suggests that igbos are more than yorubas in Kano, his, kaduna, sokoto etc? ? Unless you do your postulations/assertions remain in the realm of speculation and nothing more. undecided

Your comment about ilorin betrays your ignorance bro. Yorubas are in firm control of ilorin and kwara by extension without any shred of doubt. Virtually all the governors (whose powers trump those of the religious emir whom they can even dethrone on a whim) are Yorubas, including the current one. One of Afonja's descendants sef don be governor in the not too distant past (Muhammed Lawal). I hope say you don receive sense now.

Lolz. Do dick measurement small.
So, what's your award if Igbo's are more populous than Yoruba's? I think we most times trivialise issues that should just be a fact.
We are just famous wannabe.
In all facts, Yoruba's are much more than Igbo's and its a known fact that they are the second most populous tribe in Africa. But what does that really add to the situation?
Pls, grow up and stop running up and down.

Igbos are the largest ethnic group combined using scientific data.

1.) There are Indigenous Igbos in 8 states- Rivers,Delta, Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue, Abia. FACT

2.) Igbo are second most populated in other region/states away from their homes. FACT

3.) They are the most visible and have the highest diaspora population. There is at least One Igbo man in 195 countries of the world. From Micronesia to the Isle of Man. FACT.

These are scientific realities that have made it impossible for the current fulani government to sanction a census on Ethnic group, they know the truth but find it difficult to agree with.



Per the emboldened statement, it is at best very incomplete. There are Indigenous Igbos in 12 states -Rivers, Beyelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue, Abia and Edo.
