Ejiné: But, IMHO, I think this should be done according to geopolitical zones. Then we shall see say na SS truly plenty pass you local champions when it comes to internet presence cool

Yeah that is another good suggestion.

odumchi:
I think its obvious that the results of the different polls will be averaged together. Besides, it's not practical to list every ethnicity. Only those with populations upwards of 1 million were listed.

So those in minority are not Nigerians? As I said in my first post here - this thread is divisive. If it must be done, just do it properly and carry everyone along (at least as Ejine stated, else its a wasted effort).

Also your Poll is a flop, one person can vote in all five and it will all count grin

It's the same thing. I think Isan is the right spelling, i think.
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by Afam4eva(m): 5:00pm On May 21, 2012
@Odumchi
Why did you fragment the poll into three. I can only see the result of the section that includes my ethnic group.

Esan is the right spelling.

@op, what's the point of this exactly?
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by carlos86: 5:36pm On May 21, 2012
I hope people can't vote multiple times.It will just defeat the purpose
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by onyengbu: 5:37pm On May 21, 2012
Why is it only YORUBA Yoruba people that are very uncomfortable about this poll?

Could that be the same reason why OBJ refused to include tribe in the last census?

Is it because igbos outnumbered them last year and is already outnumbering them again?

and by the way, that bulldung about multiple IDs is still crap because every tribe does it.
Abeg you people should chill!

Ejiné: @OP

I clicked "Igbo" first (because my father's from there), and then clicked "Isan" second (because my mother's from there).

That's how it's done, right? smiley

You can only vote once else it's cheating. Do you count yourself twice in a census?

Can you point to where any Yoruba person condemned this thread?

NL is officially an Igbo website lol.
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by Novice1(m): 5:45pm On May 21, 2012
The census categories should have been:

ACN- (the tinubu goons)
NA OUR SON (Ijaw ethnic warriors)
PDP (cabal fronters)
GEJ A**LICKERS (Beaf & his many aliases)
BUHARI PEOPLE (alj harem & co)

Exactly what I was about complaining about.
The whole thing seems totally incoherent!
Abeg the mods should help the OP reorganize the poll with larger options to select from and the voting period should be made @ least a week long.

A beter alternative should be incorporating the poll into members profile so people like the OP will know where to go when looking for things like this for other data like religion, location(nigeria, africa, europe, etc)

Ngwa gee nti here:

egift: If the FG of NL need such data, they should add it on profile field and make it mandatory and ask members to go update their profiles.

You guys should stop dividing this Nation. If I say something now all the sycophants will come out in their numbers to hurl insults. But you guys should stop it.

CyberG: Tribalism and divisionism instead of Nigerians to see themselves as that, they spend all their time on worthless pursuits like this one.

Who do you think these people are? Tutsi's?

Alj Harem is a kanuri man from Anambra, have you forgotten that one too?

odumchi: The FG of Nairaland would like to know the population of its peoples inorder to properly allocate funds and services to the appropriate LGAs and states. Vote, and let your people be counted!

Lol, on a serious note, this is only for research and documentation purposes. I'm currently carrying out a study here on Nairaland and would appreciate it if everyone kindly voted and indicated their ethnicity. I'll try and add as many ethnicities as possible, and once again, I apologize if your people are not listed. cool

If your parents are of different ethnicites, kindly choose one. The link to last year's successful census can be found here: https://www.nairaland.com/725814/nairaland-2011-ethnic-census
Yeye, Hausa/Fulani are one ethnic, they can not be separated.
Re: Nairaland 2012 Ethnic Census by wowo2: 6:04pm On May 21, 2012
What about people who do not identify with any particular ethnic group.
I have names from 3 ethnic groups. My great grandparents both sides of my family migrated from separate ethnic groups and their great grandchildren are just nigerians...
Forms requiring home state are filled depending on which state one is living in at that point...confusing, I know.

I just voted again. This time around, I voted "Urhobo" because while in a plane last month, a Sapele girl's booobs brushed me twice as she was trying to insert her luggage in the side carrier.

Wait... That's how it's done, right? undecided
