this is what happens when you don't have an analytical mind! now listen, if in bayelsa (a 100%) ijaw state there are 1.6million people; it means give or take they are atleast 1.3million in bayelsa! now dumbo, are you saying they are more ijaws in other sates than in bayelsa?

afam4eva:
Please stop spreading falsehood. Ijaws are not even up 20% of Rivers state. Port-hacourt as it is known today includes those where is called town and those Ikwerre villages. Those Ikwerre villages make up 70% of what is called port-hacourt today.

killayut:

Ignorant people like you will never know that there are about 3 million Ijaws in Rivers state alone, About 1 million Ijaws or more in Delta state, About a million in Lagos state, About a million in Ondo and Edo states combined and the numerous other Ijaws living else where in other states.

afam4eva:
All those people you mentioned are Ijaw and except for Uche Jombo who's from Abia state. You may also add Dakore Eguson and Basorge Tariah Junior. I'm sure Ibibio, Edo qnd Urhobo will present q better list and btw, it not about people that are Ijaws rather it's about the popularity of Ijaw in the political space.

afam4eva:
3 million Ijaws in Rivers? What's the population of Rivers state again? Dude, stop thois delusion. Ijaws are at most 1 million and most of them are indegenous to Bayelsa state. Eastern Igbos make up the majority in port-hacourt followed by Ikwerre before Ijaws, Ogonis etc. The population of Ijaws in Delta state will stand close 500,000. So I don't get where you're getting your astronomical figures from.

Goat.Uche Jumbo is from Bonny and an Ibani Ijaw girl. Once again you continue to exhibit ignorance. The attorney general of Nigeria immediately after AZIKIWE was NABO GRAHAM DOUGLAS an Ijaw. Did you not hear about Chief Harold Dappa Biriye ? No cos you guys relegated him to the bottom cos he was not Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa.Tell me who is greater than Chief Clark in the South South . Did you not hear about Captain Amangala ? what about Justice Ambrose Alagoa and Adolfus Karibi white the world court justice ? Did you ever hear about Ambassador Joe Iyalla , Chief Dele Cole.The biggest entertainment guru in Nigeria are Ben Bruce and his family under the Silver bird production and they are Ijaws. You been thinking they were Igbos. Did you not hear about Prof Tam David West before this time ? Chief Joshua Fumudoh, SSS Boss Albert Horsfall, DMI military Boss Patrick Azazi , and so on.

Kalabari alone is more than 1 million in Rivers State and yes KALABARI are more in Population in Port Harcourt except in the core Ikwere Villages. How many Ikwere students were in secondary schools like comprehensive, Enitona, Stella Maris, Baptist and so on in Ph ? . I attended Comprehensive and Ikweres then were almost not there so what are you saying ? The mistakes you people continue to make is the calling of Ikwere villages Port Harcourt. There are 23 LGAs in Rivers and Ikwere has just 2 main ones, Obio Akpor which is a cosmopolitan area does not have a lot Ikwere people but different other people including heavy Kalabari Population and ofcourse Igbos too, Ethce is not Ikwere but Etche and Omuma is pure Igbo, Oyigbo is also a mixture of people. There is absolutely no Other tribe but Ijaws in ASALGA, AKULGA, DELGA, BONNY, OPOBO / NKORO, OKRIKA LGA, OGU / BOLO LGA, ABUA ODUAL.. AND AHOADA WEST IS PREDOMINANTLY IJAW too. You guys end up in the PH axis and think that is all you have in Rivers state and become ignorant of Rivers stat affairs.

Igbos are always happy to claim Ijaw as Igbos and to claim Ijaw land. Lost souls.

afam4eva:
Pls stop naming people because every village in Nigeria can produce lists of Achievers from that village.

Btw, Uche Jombo is from Abia state and not Bonny. Check it out yourself http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uche_Jombo

afam4eva:
Dude, stop passing false information. If Kalabari are up to 1million then how many are the Eastern Igbos and Ikwerres in River state? Even Ogonis.

Kalabaris are minorities in Rivers state. Eastern Igbos make the largest population in Rivers state and then followed by Ikwerres.

And her name is Uche Jumbo and not Jombo. And Jumbo is not any European name but an Ijaw name from Bonny. Her mom might be from Abriba but her last name is pure Bonny. When did Igbo people start having Ijaw last names ?

Uche Jombo was a precocious raconteur at a young age, playing dress up and telling stories in her home town of Abiriba, Abia State, Nigeria

redsquare:

No, you forgot to mention Obio/Akpor,Phalga,Kelga,Emolga,Onelga,Andoni,Ahoada East,Eleme,Khana,Gokana. Infact Ijaws own the whole of Rivers state. Guy Ahoada West is predominantly Engenni, Asalga,Akulga,Delga are Kalabari. Okrika (Wakirike) and Ogu/Bolo are Okrikas. Opobo/Nkoro and Bonny are Ibani. Abua/Odua speak Abua language. There is no such language as Ijaw in Rivers state.



Igbos claiming Ijaws? Guy you are high on cheap weed. Who would want to claim lazy drunk fishermen like Ijaws?

killayut:

So why are you guys who are not even from Rivers State always on about Rivers state issues ? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ? Pro Igbo LGAS in Rivers are IKWERE LGA, ETCHE LGA, EMOHUA LGA, OMUMA LGA, OGBA EGBEMA LGA AND AHOADA EAST LGA and OYIGBO LGA of which only Omuma, Ikwere and Etche and Emohua are the only pure Igbo LGAS. Oyigbo is shared between Ndoki and Ogoni people, Ogba Egbema do not agree to be Igbos. Ahoada east are not pure Igbos.. Ogoni LGAS are KHANA, GO KHANA, TAI AND ELEME which gives them 4. The rest are Ijaws. You are seriously mad. . OKRIKA LGA, OGU/BOLO LGA, ANDONI LGA, OPOBO NKORO LGA, BONNY LGA, DEGEMA LGA, AKUKU TORU LGA, ASARI TORU LGA, AHOADA WEST LGA, ABUA ODUAL LGA.. You make the maths.

Abagworo:

Yeah I know we are mates and we saw the 90s when Port Harcourt population suddenly increased. I sometimes wonder too but it is likely the Ikwerres assimilated many of their guests. I once had an encounter of a Calabar guy who people in Elekahia axis always considered Ikwerre until he had problem with the real indigenes.

killayut:

Ibime, Thats what Igbo people do. They rush in to all those areas like Woji where there are no natives and because we call the places with Ikwere names the Igbo migrants simply stay there and share the land to themselves cos there's no one to challange them. Ask them to show us cemetry their forefathers used 20 yrs ago to prove they have been there since then. It is time to check this Igbo influx to Rivers state. They are crossing the Imo river to Ndoki and claiming land there as well. Very soon NDOKI land in Rivers state will have more people than the whole Imo state cos all the Abia Ngwa people are crossing to live there and claiming Ndoki.

BlackPikiN: One thing I have noticed from the Ijaw recently is that you all are a bunch of ingrates. Tuahh!

Uche Jumbo is from Abiriba, Abia State. She's not Ijaw or bonny.

Abegii free the guy, he doesnt know what he is talking about. 3million Ijaws in rivers

ijaw citizen: Here is my population analysis of ijaw residing within the niger delta. 1. DELTA STATE (2.8 million), more than a million in Warri & enviorons alone. 2. Bayelsa (3.5) i'm actually challenging the census figures that said that a state like jigawa is more populous than Delta state amonst other outrangeous inconsistences. 3. Rivers and Akwa Ibom (3 million) 4. Ondo & Edo (1.5 million) 5. Elsewhere around the country (7 million) 6. Overseas & diaspora (5 million). I want to point out here that these are not inflated figures but a true reflection of the reality. If you feel like opposing these figures, go ahead but I'd advice you do a proper & unbiased investigation rather than take up a personal and layman stand. Shalom!

Look here mehh,, Uche Jombo's Mom is from IMO state. When did Bonny Island and Opobo turn out to be exclusive Ijaw?

When we argue that almost the population of Bonny Island and Opobo are Igbos descendants, you go begin dey talk like ewu.

A different form of Igbo is spoken in Opobo and Bonny. U wanna deny it?

killayut:

Even Imo state natives are not exclusive Igbo people. Ike Nwachukwu is half Fulani and Half IGBO. So Bonny Having elements of Igbos would not change the AMAYANABO becoming an EZE. Bonny remains an Ijaw town period. AND JUMBO is an Ijaw name in Bonny. An Nkechi whose mom is from Enugu with a last name like AJUMOGOBIA could be called an ENUGU girl as well depending on her preference or where she grew up from. I think that is how Uche is.
