Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 10:07am On Mar 20, 2017 |
Before you all come for my head, just know am just like every other normal guy that loves where he's from and also happy to defend the interest of his people ( you can call me a tribal Bigot). After reading many write ups about the Ijaw people here on nairaland, everybody seems to love the Ijaws with their unique culture, especially their Niger Delta brothers and cousins. even some of the Yorubas. But usually countered and ridiculed whenever the issue of their population is raised. We all know, even the whole world knows that Ijaws have been marginalized a lot by the Nigerian State due to their status as Minority( we gon talk about that next time). This thread is created particularly to counter Wikipedia for recognizing the Tiv people as the fourth largest ethnic Group in Nigeria in place of the Ijaws, thereby denying the Ijaws their rightful place on the Internet map globally. And also misinforming the Nigerian populace, thereby making the Ijaws appearing like liars even here on nairaland even when they (wikipedia) themselves made the truth obvious. Evidence loading...

In the Old Eastern Region of Nigeria, Wikipedia stated it clearly that both the fourth and fifth largest ethnic group in Nigeria were in the then Eastern Region, stating the Ijaws and their Ibibio cousins as both the Fourth and fight largest in Nigeria. Ijaws as the Fourth and Ibibio as the fifth. loading more...

And then again when I searched for the entire Tiv Populations, Wikipedia made it clear yet again that the Tiv population were about 4.2 million people. Bayelsaowei, sarrki

But then I searched for the fourth Largest Ethnic group in Nigeria just like every other Normal Nairalanders, but to my amusement, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiv_people the same Wikipedia recognized the 4.2 million people more populous than than the 10 million people. Now let's do the maths 10-4.2=5.8. if this calculation is correct that means the Tiv people are not even up to half the population of the Ijaws.

Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 1:37pm On Mar 20, 2017 |

Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 1:49pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
Kyase:u are here claiming fourth meanwhile Ijaw av a Senator in Rivers representing them, hav another representing dem from Delta state, then again three from bayelsa making it 5, senators n d whole Tiv nation which u claim are 4th largest has only 2 senators to represent dem. Or r u trying to say benue has more tribes in it or more populous than Rivers or Delta state? Use your head, 5 senators minus 2 na 3, meaning you guys need more three |
Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Kyase(m): 3:34pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
Afriifa:I don't know if I'm to reply you but, I heard ijaws are landcrabbers , you use threats and intimidation on them, like the other one in Edo state last week. Now to set the records straight tivs are found in 5 other states aside Benue in large numbers oneh. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kyase:lol, find other state not only in benue I know especial the ones doing farms in Taraba, but those guys are very small, if really are they majority or have inpact in those state, why don't you see dem in public positions, e.g wining a Local government chairperson, if you check all Taraba states LGAs and their chiarpersons no single Tiv person is included, |
Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 5:30pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
masseratti:according to my reserch the Fulani and Kanuri makes up the 5 and 6th position, it is also there, and when I checked the Kanuri population on wikipedia and the fulanis own, they were quiet numbered but none of them was able to beat the 10 million the Ijaw had on wikipedia so, |

Afriifa:are you aware that anybody can write/edit wikipeadia?its not an authorative website. That said,whats the joy of having plenty in numbers and being poor?I rather go with swiss,luxemburg,liechenstien,canada Isreal etc.small but rich. Ijaws are like fulanis ,they are normads settlers hence why you find them everywhere from rivers state to Lagos,their home state is Bayelsa. your analogy if them holding political positions is same with fulanis,they are minority but we have nothing less than 9 fulani Govs,they also have the highest no of senators,that does not make them the majority.fulanis and kanuris are way more than Ijaws |
Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 5:50pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
masseratti:dude I think you are just making things hard to believe despite that, all that I still agree with you that populations are just mere numbers, but dude you saying Ijaws are like normads bro, keep your mouth quiet and read your history books, if you make your research well, then You have known that Ijaws were among the ancient tribes that first settled in the Niger Delta RIGION, till date Ijaws are not found outside that region bro, or have u seen an Ijaw settlement in Benue or taraba? Despite their rivers and fishes? N u saying occupying public positions men I laugh you, fulani has the highest rate in d senate? Like really? Man call d numbers, n Fulani alone having 9 governors in Nigeria representing them? Dude na who u wan deceive, anyway concerning their population the Fulani are up to 35 million globably but only 7 million are there in Nigeria, even Kanuri which I said was close but came up with 6.9 million in nigeria, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanuri_people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fula_people gets your facts straight |
Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 5:54pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
masseratti:facts, present your data for me to see, just like I have brought, if Indeed you can edit any post on wikipedia, go and edit it n post it. Even worldlas, A very reputable source comfirmed the Ijaws to be the 4th |
Re: Wikipedia Get Ur Facts Right, Ijaws Are The 4th Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by Afriifa(m): 5:59pm On Mar 20, 2017 |
masseratti:I can't really blame you self, Ijaws are known to be marginalized a lot by the Nigerian state, so it's possible even their population was forcefully depleted to thwart their relevance, |
