When did you see me laugh? That was a grin, not a laugh.  grin

I only hear of them from my Social-studies textbooks (in Primary school), and random sources (like this topic).

I've not actually seen the faces behind 95% of the so-called Nigerian "tribes/ethnic groups". Or maybe I've seen more than that, and I just don't know what ethnic group they really belong to. Or maybe they just don't exist.
Re: Nigerian Tribes And Their States by AndreUweh(m): 11:58pm On Aug 03, 2011
There is no ethnic group in Enugu state called Mbembe.
You also failed to list Igbo in Akwa Ibom state. Ndoki are Igbo people that are spread into Abia, Rivers and Akwa Ibom state.

Re: Nigerian Tribes And Their States by jchuckc(m): 12:47am On Aug 04, 2011
List is kind of messed up,
1. There is no Gombe state on the list, the tribes that are meant to fall under Gombe state, were placed under Bauchi.
2. Some tribes are listed twice, under different names e.g. Babur = Bura (same tribe different names)
3. Some of the names quoted as tribes are actually names of places, an example would be saying 'Lagosian' is a tribe.
4. The names of some of the tribes qouted are derogatory names and not the actual names e.g Kaje is derogatory, the tribe is actually 'Baju'
5. Lastly some of the tribes under bauchi have been assimulated by the hausa majority, the languages are now officially termed 'dead languages', the desecendants of the speakers now speak only hausa.
My 2 cents!

This is so wrong and misleading. Tell me that all the yoruba are one ethnic group/tribe yet adamawa and bornu have like 20 ethnic groups each. Truth is that there are far fewer ethnic groups than we claim in Nigeria. There maybe varying dialect of languages and slight culture variations. But most of these tribe/ethnic groups are 50-60% Hausa, igbo, Yoruba super majority. As and example, I am Ijebu from sagamu and we speak a dialect of Yoruba that an Awori or Ibadan person would not understand. However we speak what I term modern Yoruba which most yorubas can speak and understand.

Stop dividing this country!!!  if your whole ethnic/tribe does not cover 100square kilometres of more. Find a super majority to join. Don't forget you local/neighbourhood dialect or culture but don't claim a separate ethnicity. Imagine you saying and Ijebu and an Egba person  are different ethnic groups. I don't understand a lick of Egba language nor do i know all their culture but I cab speak Yoruba to anyone in Abeokuta with no problem. And we share more than 60 % cultural/ethnic similarities.

@OP Awori (just like egba, ijebu, oyo, ogbomosho, ibadan, ife, ekiti etc) is a tribe of the yoruba ethnic group. Your post showing that awori is not part of the yoruba is misleadling. Please, Modify your post.

Ukwuani, Ika and Ekpeye are mere dialects of Igbo language and not separate ethnic groups. It is same as Ekiti, Ijebu and Awori that are Yoruba.

Good work in any case bro. However like earlier commented some of these tribes are variants of a main language. Lkie Ijebu(with its numerous ariations) , Egba, Remo, Egbado or Yewa( with variations), Oke Odo, Oyo, Igbomina, Akure, Ondo, Owo, Ikale,Ife, Ijesa, Ekiti, Akoko, etc which are all Yorubas or Etsako with the Auchi, Uzaure ,Ibie Fuga and Agenebode variations but still ar all Etsako.
