It says Ijaw people. What's the difference. I can't allow two topics with the same subject to be active at the same time. The most recent has to be locked and linked to the eldest, unless the eldest has got more than 100 pages and it's an unactive topic!
Re: Ijaw Izon! Ijaw People This is a topic For You by ijawgirl: 5:12pm On Feb 08, 2009

I never knew Ijaws were up to 17 million. na im be say Igbo na 150million. So, if

150million(Igbo) + 150million(Yoruba) + 150million(Yoruba) + 25million(Efik/Ibibio) + 17million(Ijaw) + other groups in Nigeria = over 1 billion

Who says we don't have more people in Nigeria than in India.
Re: Ijaw Izon! Ijaw People This is a topic For You by Ngodigha1(m): 11:17am On Sep 17, 2012
It was a typo. That 17m was 7m, though actual figure is 5m.
Anyway can anyone tell me who this ijaw princess is?.
