I saw an article where the writer said IJaws were around 2 million and Ibibios around 1.3 million.

But I used to believe Ibibios are more populous than Ijaws


IJAW.
Like Tiv, Ijaw is also one of the most popular languages in Nigeria spoken by over 2 million people as their native language. It is majorly spoken in the oil-rich region(Delta region area). A minority from Ondo, Ekiti, and Bayelsa speak Ijaw also.


IBIBIO.
This is also one of the most popular languages in Nigeria, mostly spoken by the Southern part of Nigeria. About 1.3 million Nigerian speaks Ibibio, especially in Akwa-Ibom state. Ibibio, Efik, and Anaang are closely related languages.

Ibibios are more in population.
Ijaw figures are totally inflated..such doesn't exist.

Ibibios! Ijaws are not that many.

Graysons:

Ibibios are more

I don't really understand what this thread is about. But make I park here.

both of them are not up to 10 million each. besides Kanuris are the 4th largest ethnic group

***

Ijaws are in rivers state, Delta bayelsa Edo ondo even Lagos.

SaintBishop:
Are you sure? I thought there are Ijaws in river state as well.

There are no ijaws in Rivers state, what we have are ijo sub groups. Kalabari, Okrika and co.

Kalabaris don't identify with Ijaws, and Okrikans are beginning to deny them as well,

Can you blame them? take a look at Bayelsa, nothing works in that Godforsaken hell hole, Bayelsa women are nothing to write home about, always demeaning their men and always screwing Igbo men left, right and centre why will any one identity with that?

Totally agree with you. The issue of inflation of figures especially that of Ijaws started during Jonathan era.

Ibibios are way more in population than them.

Kanuris been the 4th is totally correct.

Which kalabari man dead or alive identity as ijaw apart from that fraud Asari?

Okrika people are also distancing themselves from the ijaw tag as well.

No.ijaws are more.ibibios are only in akwa ibom and they make up half of akwa ibom which has 4 mil people.therefore,ibibios are two million but they have a large settler population in cross river,rivers and delta.

Bsyelsa has 2 mil people and ijaws have about 1.5 mil.ijaws are about 1 mil people in rivers,600,000 in delta,50,000 in edo and 100,000 in akwa ibom and about 300,000 in ondo
