Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by odumchi: 7:14am On Aug 02, 2011 |
This is just a simple attempt to indicate all the of ethnicites present on Nairaland. Kindly indicate your ethnicity by voting. I've tried my best to include as many groups as possible. Again I apologize if your ethnicity is not listed. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by AbuMaryam1(m): 7:55am On Aug 02, 2011 |
I'm suggesting you put others at bottom of your lists, one kilometer another language!!!! |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 11:54am On Aug 02, 2011 |
Many ethnic groups have been maginalised here! What of Jukun, Birom, Tapa, Angas, etc? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by odumchi: 5:03pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
Abu-Maryam: Yeah, I should've but unfortunately you cant edit a poll. Also, what's your ethnicity? cogitoErgo: Its difficult to try and name all of Nigeria's ethnicities although I apologize for this. Which one among them re you? @Topic Only 20 Votes, c'mon people more fvotes. Represent your ethnicity here on Nairaland. |

^^^ what about the insane ones that open multiple account? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 6:42pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
you remembered to list efik and ibibio as separate ethnicities [while combining igala and idoma but not hausa/fulani], but couldnt be bothered with the other 200 tribes in nigeria? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by MadDog1(m): 6:45pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
i was expecting to see hausa vote increase as they have more population for real life. or isnt this nigeria forum abi southern nigeria forum? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by odumchi: 6:47pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
@ Mad Dog That's left for them. I dont see whats there to gain from deciet. I dont think there are many Hausas on NL. @ Tpiah I did not want to make too many options. And also, what did you expect me to do? Make 200 options. I just picked the most likely ethnicities. Whats the possibility that someone from an ethnicity thats less than 10k will be on Nairaland? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 6:50pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
are ogonis less than 10k? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 6:53pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
Mad Dog!!!:pls dont mind that nigeria census count. that means you believe there is any state larger than lagos population |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 6:54pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
tpia@:who are ogonis? are they in ss? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 6:56pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^saro wiwa's tribe i think. they're controlling some of the oil fields. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by odumchi: 6:57pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^^ Yes Ogonis are in Rivers State. They are a riverine people like the Ijaw and their language/culture is influenced by Ijaw, Igbo and their other neighbors. I think their population is 500k-1 million. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Donmeca(m): 7:04pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
No multiple voting ooo (for those with 10 IDs). . .it was called rigging in 2011 general elections |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 7:09pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
odumchi: that may be true but i think their ancestry is commonly thought to be ghana. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by odumchi: 7:19pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
Donmeca: I'll be sure to include that And yes, its amazing how Buhari won on NL |

Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 8:07pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^most people meeting them outside tend to confuse them with igbo. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 8:11pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^^ if they have same culture and language. why not? (maybe im saying so because im igbo) |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 8:13pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^you're igbo? well, they say they're not and besides, they originally came from ghana, i think. i'd have to look up more info about them. they have igbo and ijaw influences, not igbo alone. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 8:23pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
yes im igbo i heard (rumour) that some ghanians are igbo origin |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 8:49pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^quite possible. especially if igbos were sold to them during the earlier slave trade era. some of the mines back then were fueled with slave labour from central africa, etc. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 9:01pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^^mmmhh you seem in doubt when i mention im igbo. why? |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by tpia5: 9:20pm On Aug 02, 2011 |
^^ i didnt know you're igbo, that's all. what's your former id- that might ring a bell. |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Nobody: 10:35pm On Aug 02, 2011 |

Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by odumchi: 1:41am On Aug 03, 2011 |
tpia@: A majority of them speak Igbo as a second language. But about Igbo coming from Ghana, thats not likely. @Topic More votes! |
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Ojumiii(m): 9:02am On Aug 03, 2011 |
