the Op that posted this trash is high on MON-KI-TEY.
so yoruba dont have ethnic group, and all you could think of is labelling this minority tribes A-LIST?
What of ilaje, apoi, akoko, ikale, arogbo, ondo, igbira from ondo state alone.... from ekiti they have ado, ijesha, ebira (ebiriba is to kogi)... osun haves iseyin, saki forming border town with DAHOMEY, ijebu, awori, ogun from ogun state, ede, ogbomosho, ibadan, from oyo state, or you want to tell those are not tribes from yoruba lands?

Deadlytruth:

It is rather you who doesn't know anything. That guy you quoted is perfectly correct. There are no Ebiras indegeous to Edo State. Igarras are not Ebiras. Go and get your facts right about this and eschew the recent dubious attempts being made by your people to supplant the Oshuku appelation with Ebira.

In Delta State, Ukwani, Ika and Aniocha speak almost similarly language with the core igbos but they are not of same tribe, so as isoko and urhobo are similar but of different tribes. Next time separate them please.

chyckxx:

thank you! i keep telling people, there’s no such thing as delta igbo.

I wish.. But sadly it's not true until they stop speaking igbo and bearing igbo names. That's how till today they keep blaming igbos for the coup while the man is from delta. Whenever those delta igbos commit crimes they are automatically tagged igbos while pple like you will hide and refuse to come out to say they are deltas not igbos. Be proud of your delta both in good and in bad times! Cunning humans

It really pains my heart that Nigerians are so dumb and don't know anything about their country. The educational system is a complete failure.

Firstly,there's no such thing as tribe;there are ethnicity and communities . There are no 371 Tribes in Nigeria; there may be 371 communities in Nigeria.There are 14 ethnicity in Nigeria :Igbo,Akwacross als known as Calabar or Efik Ibibio (unofficial name because this group did not decide on a name),Yoruba,Hausa/Fulani(Fulani are assimilated settlers) ,Kanuri,Ijaw,etc.
Ibibio,Oron,Efik,Annang,Eket are the same ethnic group .Oron is a community ,Ibibio is a community ,Efik is a community in Akwa cross group also known widely as Calabar or efik ibibio.
.
Even within a community, there may be a few clans with slight dialectic variance from the normal dialect of the community . Simply put , each ethnicity has communities , each community has clans,each clans have chiefdoms(perhaps villages),all the way to extended family and nuclear family.

Ngwa,Onicha,Aro,Orimili,Igbere,Owerre,Omabala,Abakeleke,Nsukka,Etche,Ikwerre,Ika,etc. are the same Ethnicity with official name -Igbo
Ngwa is a community,Owerre is a community,Omabala is a community in Igbo group.

Each of these communities have different dialects of the same language ,and some of the dialects are more understood by everyone else in the group while some not so much. For example,Onicha and Owerre dialect are understood by everyone in Igbo group. Ibibio and Efik are understood by everyone in Akwa cross group .
In the early days of colonization,Igbo group as well as Yoruba group,Kanuri group, and Hausa group decided to create a synthetic language which unites all the communities. They decided to base the language on the most popularly understood dialect of each group. Some ethnicity did not create a synthetic language .For example ,Akwa cross or Efik Ibibio group did not create a synthetic language based on any of the dialects . One dialect was simply used - Efik dialect . but because Ibibio community has a larger population in the group,Ibibio dialect which is the most similar to Efik dialect is also widely popular and now more popular in the group than Efik .
To date there's neither an official group name nor official synthetic language for akwa cross grup. (there may be no need due to the smaller population of the group,and due to the fact Ibibio dialect greatly overwhelms the others. )

P.S :All languages have different dialects and that dialect may come with it's own accent.
Each ethnic nation has communities,each community has clans , each clan has chiefdoms(perhaps villages),all the way to extended families,nuclear family,Individual.
