Before you think any thing negative against me or the article am going to put down, I should say Yes, am a bonifide Igbo dude and hey, i reside in the north.

Apparently, at time I hear Hausas and Yoruba's are higher in population than the Igbos and other ethnic groups, of a true am bewildered because from normal analysis, the Igbo's are enormous and vast compelled to any other tribe in the Country..

The Igbo is known to have suffered Marginalization right after the Civil war ( war the British helped Nigerians, killing innocent civilians and gave them 20ponds to start all over) Marginalizing them, Politically, Economically and otherwise. The Igbo's are still strong and still rule the country's Economy even without the help of the So-called government.

Now back to my Point, I said, the Igbos are higher in Population than any other tribe in the country. I have my Solid and Empirical Backings to support my saying...

An Average Hausa man does not travel, Nationally and Internationally. I've stayed in the north for over 20 years, and have observed them for many years, believe you me they Dont Travel. Why would they travel? What Lucrative business can they do apart from the north were they sell meat, clothes and shoes, by the road side imported from Aba? would they dare come to the East and compete with the Easterners in business line? I Dont think so.
Upon the Hausa's being at their base, the north seems Empty and Scanty.. I have been to Jigawa, Kastina and Kebbi all you see there are the Fulanis and Niger's which you can't call Hausas. Indeed, their lands are intimidating but scanty. Down here in the east, I can bet you the Hausas all combined are not up to 1million.

Same applies to the Yorubas. They don't travel.. infact, I haven't seen any Yorubas In the East, and little or non in the north. Remember, Lagos in no mans' land, and the population between Igbos and Yorubas are 50-50. Yorubas are very rare to find, except in their land ( Osu, Ondo,Oyo.. Ilorin has been taken by the Fulanis chasing majority of the Yorubas out and tuning some to Muslim by force.)and some travels abroad eg London and some European countries cause have been to london before and I know what am saying.

Coming down to the East, they are all over the country and internationally like in the Usa, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Germany etc, they own these places. In fact their is a say, if you Dont fine any Igbo man in a particular place,country, that place is the most unsecured place in this world. Igbos are all over the country to the extent they now install Eze and created kingdoms anyplace they settle because of the vast populations.eg Lagos, Ilorin, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna and Abuja etc even abroad

Igbos are over populated in the East, and have moved further to other states to colonize their Economy.

My point is, The Hausa population is not what you think it is, the Yorubas are not even close ..
I drop my pen.

No tribalism, I only stated how it is ..

War.....

I used to be an afonja Muslim but not any more. awolowo of the cursed memory did a terrible thing to Yoruba's when he sponsored a coup that plucked akintola's life like an unripe orange. I remember how our people betrayed abiola, which his son could no longer conceal, and I ask, "who placed a curse on yorubas?"

Talk is very cheap. You simply need to proffer the alternative or you keep mute.

Reason ends where name calling starts. If you are not ignorant, provide another side of the coin.

There is no need for argument. All you need to do is proffer a different narrative. What is hard about bringing your side of the stuff to the table?

So because he did not share the same ideology with the lies of your Liepod brother up dia, that translate to automatic hate against the Igbos in your own ectodermic brain.

Respect for the Igbos means buying the lies posted by Biafra Facebook. Agreeing Buhari hate Igbos, Buhari is making anti-igbo statement all the day. Trump warns Buhari bcux of Biafra.

If you believe these, then you love Igbos.

The op is saying the truth but we are doubting due to tribalism
refute his point with points

Where is the point to refute? Not a single found. He is only writing a textual dream he had yesterdays night.

This OP just dey misyarn..but let us leave am..everybody is free to believe their lies

This post is just ridiculous. You are basing your findings on sentiments and claim to have 'empirical backings' as a reference. As far as the eye can see, there is nothing solid or 'empirical' about it. Surely you are aware of that?


Modified: It seems the OP has deserted this thread. Sorry OP, we can't be partakers in this delusion.

You stayed in the slums of the north, just like you live in the slums of the east and when you move to lagos you will live in the slums of Lasgidi.

Poor man.

Igbos have the highest population in Nigeria,followed by Hausa, then Yoruba,Kanuri, Ijaw, Fulani .........
It is very clear,anytime you enter SE there is always a hold up everywhere and 99% are Igbos and if you go to any other state in Nigeria atleast Igbos have 25% presence in all the states in Nigeria and about 40% presence in Lagos and Abuja.
