Based on wetin? Read my submission below

If you have problems with Ibibios go and sort it out with them but for here , now and future, they are more in population than Ijaws.

‪I set my immunity aside & I stand before God who sees the heart of all men. God who knows the beginning from the end & I swear that Ize Iyamu is a THIEF. And that is why I didn’t give him anything, even a board appointment. -Adams Oshiomohole ‬(2016).

A well detailed counter statement will suffice

Till then but as at now Ibibios takes the lead

Rosyfina:

Where are you from?

MelesZenawi:

Apart from akwa ibom,which other state are they found? Are you ok

If your parameter for assessment is based on state then you need Jesus In life.


Such parameter is way too weak to stand the test of time.

Ijaws are not even UpTo to 1.25 million

That's coz you are biased and not straightforward.

Ibibios are higher in population.

Rosyfina:

Where are you from

I am from Rivers state.

Graysons:


Which kalabari man dead or alive identity as ijaw apart from that fraud Asari?

Okrika people are also distancing themselves from the ijaw tag as well.

You are from Bonny? then speak for Bonny people alone

Really? oya enlighten me oh ye wise sage.

Chai, sm1 wee just open yeye thread and 'sane' minds wee be jamming their heads against 1 anoda?

Baba God, may 1914 and 1960 be erased from history, I pray!

In reality, Ijaw can never be more populated than ibibio.. Impossible

There are 31 LGAs in Akwa Ibom. There are only 8LGAs in Bayelsa. So state analogy wouldn't hold waters, especially when almost everywhere in Bayelsa is made up of water. No pun intended.

wait did you just said this?

Whether na ibibio o, abi ijaw o, na God sabi who plenty pass.

I thought you are ijaw? So your implying that ibibios are more populous

Im Ikwerre. I sincerely don't know which is more populous given that Ijaw has the spread across states albeit in swampy and waterlogged terrain. But bro, you have to accept the fact that the Ibibios/Annang/Efik are almost everywhere, being very visible and distinguishable.

Ijaw to me is more like the conglomeration of peoples inhabiting waterlogged areas and worshipping water deities as the culturally approved religion.

Andoni doesn't understand Kalabari. Kalabari does not understand Izon, Opobo doesn't understand Abua and so on. So rare to see people not speaking and understanding same language, yet claim to be of same ethnic stock.

Good.I like your manner of argument which means you can bow to superior reasoning.one,,the op is talking about Ibibio as a single group not a combination of Ibibio,efik,anang,oron..he meant ibibios alone though they all share similar language and culture.I am from cross river and akwa ibom is like my 2nd home so am more grounded on this topic.if you combine ibibios and others,then they can outnumber ijaws but if you single them out alone,they aren't more than ijaws but can be said to be the third largest in the ss.

Now,akwa ibom has 31 lgas and three senatorial districts and about 3.8 million as at 2006.let's approximate it to 4 million.ibibios dominate uyo senatorial zone which has 9 lgas.the ikot ekpene zone had 10 lgas.8 lgas here are annang which is the 2nd largest ethnicity in akwa ibom.the other two lgas are ibibios which are INI and ikono.in eket zone,there are 12 lgas.the oron or oro who are the largest group here dominate 5 lgas,eket or ekid has two.mkpat enin and ikot abasi and onna are Ibibio which means Ibibio dominate 14 out of 31 and if you count the population here,its about 2 million.

In rivers,it is confusing but I know that after the igbo speaking lgas,ijaws are the 2nd largest.I have never counted andoni as ijaws.those I see as ijaws are asari toru,akukutoru,okrika,ogubolo,opobo nkoro,bonny,degema and abua odual partially.I know you may want to argue but let's leave it at 1 million.
In bayelsa,its 90% ijaws and with a population of 2 million,1.8 should be ijaws.
In delta,ijaws dominate burutu,bomadi and patani,40% of warri south west and warri north lgas.this places them at 500_000.
In ondo,ijaws dominate ESE odo and are many in ilaje.that's at least 200,000.so you see that they outnumber ibibios even if you minus rivers.I haven't added the ijaws in akwa ibom and edo
