There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by Nchara: 1:15am On Apr 18, 2011 |
In light of how Igbos presumably voted for GEJ in all parts of the country, and gave him the spread he needed to win, there should be a new census that reflects ethnicity. That way, we are able to determine what number of people make up each ethnic group. This is one important project that Igbos should fight for before GEJ leaves office after the next 8 years . Even in almighty USA, there is ethnicity in the census. |

Not good idea. Igbo would not handle being called minority after the census proves that they are the blacksheep of Nigeria. Go go fulani tribe! |

Nchara: I believe this is something that can be done with the GEJ presidency. Buhari would never approve of it. |

Igbo is 60% Lagos and 40% of entire SW Igbo is 30% Kano, 45% Plateau, 30 Kaduna 50% Rivers 70% Abuja, etc If you agree with me then its okay. If you disagree, please join me in calling for a census that includes questions on ethnicity. |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by AljUche: 2:37am On Apr 18, 2011 |
Nchara: i agree igbos are at least 20-30 % of NE as well do u agree |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by Nchara: 2:45am On Apr 18, 2011 |
Alj Uche: Yes I do. Its even more, like 45%. If you disagree please ask that ethnicity be an issue in the next census. |

Nchara: what if u are surprised that ur assumssions are wrong and igbos are a minority (maybe 5 highest) what would u do ? |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by Nchara: 3:05am On Apr 18, 2011 |
Alj Uche:That is the surprise I would like to receive, once and for all. |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by AljUche: 3:08am On Apr 18, 2011 |
Nchara: i know u would like to recieve that surprise most likely u would not but incase the results shows otherwise, i can bet it would not be funny are we are talking about it now and moreover, what are we or you going to gain if an ethnic cencus is carried out. i mean economic advantage will it be for the Ndigbo |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by dempeople(m): 3:11am On Apr 18, 2011 |
Ndigbo umunne'm mma mma nu. @Ciroma, we can never be a minority in 9ja. Go figure. I dare to say we're either the largest or second largest ethnic group in 9ja. |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by AljUche: 3:14am On Apr 18, 2011 |
dem_people: maybe maybe not i think ohaneze should push forward this ethnic cencus so see how many igbos we have in lagos and the country at large. it would be quite interesting |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by dempeople(m): 3:19am On Apr 18, 2011 |
Tinubu has already done one in Lagos and found that we're at least 45% of the lagos populace. By the way, how many Kanuris are in 9ja? Like 0.01%? |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by AljUche: 3:26am On Apr 18, 2011 |
dem_people: ur mouth don dey sharp now abi may 0.01% then i think the ethnic cencus tinubu told igbos was for him not chase igbos away from lagos the same was done by northerners in abuja so they can invest same was doen by idomas in beune so they can invest same in rivers state same in pleteau state same in even sokoto all this is to woo the igbos so they can invest in those states, that's all do not be surprise if kebbi state come tomorro and says igbos are 50 % of the states population |
Re: There Should Be A New Census That Reflects Ethnicity by dempeople(m): 8:16pm On Apr 18, 2011 |
Which one be say my mouth don dee sharp now? Realistically, how many una dee for 9ja? Una no go reach 5%. Remember, your folks are mainly in Chad as part of the old Bornu empire. |
