Anyway,good morning to you.

There are more igbos in the north that the hausas in the east.
There are more igbos in lagos that hausas
In lagos.
Then talk about the yoruba,Efik,ijaw,etc.

These Northerners have landmass,but not population.
The just like brandishing numbers for elections sake.
That's how they say kano is more populated than lagos. grin

There is something I have been questioning personally regarding SE population..

If majority of them are Christians which means they mostly practiced monogamy, why is there population almost the same with SW population that has almost 50/50 Christians and Muslims..

Someone should clear my ignorant

I guess as usual your stream of thought plays intellectual trick on you.

This is a hopeless suggestion.

So because Saudi Arabia is 97% muslim, then automatically they would be more populated than all Christian countries since they marry more than 4 wives and have many children.

My questions are based on two factors

1. Religion
2. Landmass

Would really appreciate if you can discuss on those 2


This is a baseless, hopeless n meaningless assertion.....Is this how u reason?

So since australia have a land mass that is over 7 times that of Nigeria, Then Australias population must be higher than nigerias?

Start reasoning well pls, Both citizens n non citizens of australia are less than half of IGBO population alone and IGBO landmass is less than 60,000km² whole Australias landmass is 7.3 million km².

are they up to 13mil ? am speaking with fact bruv.tiv are located in partly nasarawa and partly benue, where'as ijaw own's a state and still second majority in river's,are partly found in akwa ibom,delta and ondo even ghana! oneh no let me tell you tuwa wo o

This is the consequence of not travelling out of ur state or region.

Tiv is by far the most populated tribe in Benue state, they represent over 50% of the state and occupy about 14 out of 23 local govts areas in d state....Tiv owns benue state, No non Tiv has ever won the governorship election there.

Tiv also have significant numbers in Taraba, Nasarawa an old Plateau states.


I hope u are not saying that ijaw population is 13 million,Ijaw no reach 2.5 million people across Nigeria pls.

Ijaw might be the 2nd most populated tribe in Rivers state, But their population there is still very little compared to IGBOs in Rivers state which makes up over 70% of the populace.

Asides Bayelsa which is the least populated state in Nigeria, Ijaw is a tiny minority in every other states where they are found...And mind u that bayelsa is not 100% ijaw, Urhobo, Isoko and IGBO are also Indigenous to Bayelsa state.

let's just say yoruba and igbo = ~100mil + ijaw= 100,15mill+ ibibio= ~100,25mill we never include binis,efiks,ogonis,elemes,urobo,isoko,ejagham etc out of a country with ~200mill people

Nigeria is less than 120 million.

Ijaw 15 million in nigerian? Please where are they

Ijaw in Bayelsa is highest 2 million people please where exactly in nigeria does the remaining 13 million ijaws reside??

Even Yoruba wey u de average 50 million,where exactly are they?

If the 6 yoruba states (minus lagos + Kwara) average 3 million+ people in each state, That's just about 20 million yorubas in their homeland

Keep religion out of this argument.. Christianity is not upto 150 years in Nigeria so does not really affect Igbo land population in anyway... Most of our grandparents are polygamous...

What landmass are u talking about... As small as lagos state is
Could contain 20 million people yet it has not been built up.. Lots of empty land around epe gbagada badagry...

Now imagine Igbo land

Lagos landmass is less than 10% of IGBO landmass

If Oyo state alone is almost the same land mass with all the 5 SE states, Ogun state, combination of 3 SE states it's logical to say there would be more settlement in Oyo, Ogun than all SE States.

Is it only Igbos that practiced polygamy in Nigeria?

If I am not mistaken, there are more muslims in Oyo state than Christians

Stupid landmass assertion.

There has only been 1 population census in Nigeria since 1914 and southerners had a higher population back den.

About the post, every Nigeria census as placed the north above the south in population, either true or false anybody trying to debunk the claim must come with an hard evidence.

There are 19 states in the north with a land mass probably up to x3 of south, which partially nullify the argument of not seeing much densely populated areas.

A desert can never have more population than a rain forest

I am not ijaw,but you see ijaw many oh.
In Nigeria there are ijaws in their homeland bayelsa,delta,Edo,rivers,akwa-ibom,ondo.And of recent they is a new Ijaw settlement in anambra and lagos.
Then don't forget about the ijaws who live outside their home land.

In countries like gabon,sierra Leone,cameroon,ghana(50,000 indegenious ijaws),Liberia they have native/indegenous ijaws .

Another thing of notice,is that some Nigeria ijaws now live in many africa countries.

Due to oil scholarship given to Nigeria ijaws,high number of them reside in europe,north america,asia and elsewhere.These diaspora Nigeria ijaws seem to have forgetten about their Nigeria Nationality.They see their new countries as home.

Even militants leaders like tompolo and dokubo etc have given many Ijaws scholarship with their private wealth.

Thanks for reading.

Ijaw population no pass 2.5 million people.

Pls be guided

stop wasting your time with helinus. He is anti igbo. He will never agree with you. He's already trying to shift the topic to religion and landmass instead of population this thread was created for. The guy is a virus. Stay away from him.

the fact a northerner marries four wives,does not mean that three ladies will remain unmarried in the south!
las las one northerner marry four wives and four women getting married in the south is the same thing undecided

Child mortality rate in northern nigeria is extremely high, that's a top reason why their population isn't growing....Death rate for infants per thousand in northern Nigeria is around 250 deaths.

That means that 25% of children in the north will die before the age of 5.

This is one reason other tribe dey distance their self from Igbos,that is bad behavour of Igbos both offline and online.



Ika are 100% unadulterated IGBOS.

No tribe distance themselves from the IGBOs except some fooooools who do so for political reasons, be guided.
