Where the population dey? So you actually believe the fake Npc figures? Smh

If you believe Igbos are 50 million then Ijaws must be 40million, Urhobos must be 35million and Ibibios must be 30 million.

Extend your logic too to Yorubas who should be 80million and Hausas who should be 120million.

So as you can see, your logic of fake NPC figures can be appropriated by any ethnic group, not just Igbos. It mustn't always be about you guys.

These 'one nigerianists' are becoming more pathetic and desperate as the days go by...so Igbos obtaining Nigerian passports and National ID for international travels and business transactions NOW is a big deal to you lots??...documents that can easily be trashed within a twinkle of an eye at the appropriate time??..

I pity you all..keep stalking Igbos all over the place,what we eat,were we sleep,whom we marry e.t.c...una go tire at the end of the day while the agitation will gather more momentum.
My brother they've lost it. Now trying to lay hand on anything available they see.

Weather they( Biafra agitators) are been scammed by Nnamdi KANU or not it is of no ones business, have you ever wondered what if the Biafra failed to come how will Nigeria move on with so much hate at the moment and suspicion, the end produce is crisis everywhere as we all will still hold the grudge of the hate filled comment we receive and dished out.
Our action will be out to spite the other tribe and we will all be suffering from bring them down syndrome, back to the l.D card stuff there is nothing special about this it just goes to show that these are the set of people that know what it takes to be a citizen. but this is just an item that can be discarded if Biafra comes into fruition.
And another point they should stop saying that the igbos reside in the 5 eastern state, we have anioma and the igbos in river state, the media should desist from fanning the ember of identity crisis around Igbo territory.

More than enough but Hausas exist in ALL of the Northern States save for Benue, Kogi and Kwara. So Sanchez01 is right for using the North to represent Hausa-Fulani just like the East is used to represent Igbo even though there are Igala and Idoma minorities there in border states.


What we want to know is how Igbos have 50million people when Nigeria's total population is 150million+ and Hausas+Yoruba have 100million+ combined while the South South has no less than 20million+.
Unless Igbos are not seen in large numbers at every nook and crannies of this hellhole then I will be inclined to believe you. When it comes to the north it is called the hausa fulani irrespective of the kanuris, nupes, bachama, fringes of norther minorities scattered all over the arid region of the north. East may not be upto 50m but that doesn't mean that Igbos are not more than 50m in this geographical conundrum.

Hausas are also everywhere in this "geographical conundrum". So too are many other ethnicities like Ijaws, Urhobos, Ibibios, etc. That a few Igbos can be found in all major towns in Nigeria doesn't translate into 50million Igbo population. 30million may even be an overstretch but given the diaspora population of Igbos, that's more believable.

The Igbos are always transacting businesses locally and internationally and most time may need those stuffs as means of identification.
The unity beggers never cease to amaze me with their illogical insinuations. It is obvious that Igbos are the most traveled set of Nigerians & considering the fact that they are also among the most populous, shouldn't they constitute the highest numbers seeking for international passport & other forms of national identity? What is the point of this senseless report? Are these guys alluding that the life of Igbos should be at a standstill until we achieve Biafra or we should start applying for Biafran passport when the UN is yet to accept Biafra as a sovereign nation? The IQ of the average Nigerian north & west of the river Niger is way too low, little wonder their country has remained a laughing stock in the commity of sane nations! To think that this same re.ta.rds voted an old illiterate man to rule them speaks volumes!!!

Are you telling me that other than Lagos, that more than 100 Igbos stay in ALL the towns in Nigeria?

Secondly, in the North of Nigeria, many of the people that are called Igbos are not even Igbos but from minorities in the SS. They prefer to cluster with Igbos because of safety and common religious values.

And I never said Igbos are not up to 2m. I said a reasonable figure, including Igbos in the diaspora, would be 30m. 50m is a blunt exaggeration when you consider the entire population of Nigeria!

Don't mind them. Even in Npower, Igbos are the main beneficiaries. They are everywhere and enjoy Nigeria far more than us that bring wealth to it, yet they say they are marginalised! Such an irony!

The problem with them is that they want to dominate but Hausas and Yorubas are checkmating them. That's why they need a Biafra with minorities so that they can dominate totally.
They no longer want to enjoy Nigeria again, that's why they're agitating. We want Hausas and Yorubas to takeover, but most of them are afraid.
They claim it's because SS will join us, but the truth is, SS people want to stay on their own.
The rest of Nigerians are useless without these two zones and that's why they would fight to death for Nigeria to be one.
That's why the Yorubas mainly prefer restructuring, that way, they can have their cake and eat it. The Hausas on the other hand know it doesn't favour them and it's a huge step to disintegration, so they would never allow it to go through.
You can tell yourself something else, but it's the simple truth.

Yes I do. For starters, they have densely populated States in the SW and NC including Lagos (where more than 60% of the population are Yorubas), Kogi, Kwara, etc. They also extend to Togo and Benin Republic.

Yorubas also have a strong diasporan presence across Nigeria, Europe and America.

We haven't even included runaway Yoruba tribes/enclaves in the SS such as Delta and Edo.

Yorubas just don't brag with their population. If a real census is done like, the margin of difference between Hausa and Yoruba populations won't be too far apart.

You lie for saying only Yorubas want restructuring. I'm from the SS and I can confidently tell you that most, if not all, the non-Igboid minorities want restructuring. It's only Igbos that want to leave this country.

Besides, don't be quick to undermine a region. Niger Republic is Hausa dominated and they are doing even much better than Nigeria. Why do you think the North won't do better independently too?

the northern population is the combination of all tribes there, consisting mainly of hausa fulani... if u remove fulani, hausa is no where near igbo and yoruba(you can confirm with Google), hausa as a tribe on its own without fulani will be in d league of ijaw n others. have u been to north before, tell me how many state that solely speak or are hausa occupied state...

Ignore those ignoble lunatics.

A sane person would have known that a self-driven 50+-year old movement cannot be swayed by any amount of dumb and senseless taunts or propaganda. But what do you expect from a country where shallowness, mediocrity and barbarism are the norm?

They probably don't understand that the vast majority of those agitators rely heavily on word-of-mouth and custom communication channels, and cannot be reached by those shallow fake propaganda and trashes which they throw around blindly.
