The Ngwa are the largest Igbo group. There are about one and a half million of 'em (if internet sources are to be believed.)

Igbo Izugbe is a synthesised language, and as such has no native speakers and isn't owned by any of the Igbo groups.

The Oyo are the largest Yoruba Subgroup , numbering over 7 Million
Their Dialect (Oyo Yoruba) is also the basis for Central Yoruba. with slight modifications.

I think Orlu is Igbo largest group, this is based on their vast landmass and high population density.
They constitute upto 8 LGA of Imo west senatorial and 4-5 LGA of Anambra south.

Furthermore, they are the most widely travelled Igbo sub group.

Old Orlu Division is not an authentic precolonial Igbo group. The current sense of oneness they share dates back only to Colonial coalition of towns and villages into political macro-units for administrative purposes. The same thing can be said of the old Nsukka Division.
