They are not the most populous in SS either.

Using 2006 census.
Akwa ibom 3million (of which about 2million are Ibibio)

Rivers 5million (of which at least 2million are ijaw)

Bayelsa 1.7million (of which at least 1.3million are ijaw)

Delta, Ondo has indigenous ijaw.

Ibibios can only be found in Akwa ibom (at 2million)

Basically the population of ijaw in rivers and Bayelsa +Delta is quite larger than ibibio
do u even understand my statement? I said Ijaw is the most populous in SS region, u went ahead to say how they are not the most populous then gave statistics showing they are the most populous

Yorubas and Northerners call them Calabar because they don't them very well, have never known them, all because of One Nigeria oil they pretend we know each other. But Igbos know them very well as neighbors even without them saying a damn word, we can tell you whether they are Ibibio, Efik, Annang or Ika(Igbo).

Do you know you can identify an Ibibio from Annang and Efik? Ibibio look very much like Igbos than Ananng and Efik. They have flat heads light Igbos, muscular, yam legs and light skin too. The light skin you see in Akwa-Cross Axis are mostly Ibibio. Annag and Efik are 95% dark skin like Gov Ayade, while Ibibio share the same makeup of light skin as Igbos, about 30-40%. That's why Adekunle went to Ibibioland and killed over half a million young men. When asked why he massacred them? He said Ibibio and Igbo are one and the same people. Hope you learned something today

Your whole write up is false as soon as you mentioned ayade as Efik, he's not efik he's from Northern Cross River

2 Million ijaw people inside Rivers state? ?? from which communities Nah Oga Sir? The total number of actual Ijoid people in rivers is way less than 600k. If ijaw is 2 million how many Million Ikwerre do we have? Remember than out state s more non indigenes than indigenes. That population census was a total number of people resident in the state without state of origin. More than half the people living in rivers state are not from rivers state.

Even the 5 million massively under represents the total number of people in Rivers State, A lot of igbo people were refusing to be counted, saying they werent nigerians, which i think was one of the dumbest things i have witnessed. Heard they were doing this in the South East as well, Now fast forward to the future and Nigerians are massively understating the population of igbo people, to their detriment.

Election dem no go gree go vote, they are more interested in their business, Population census, dem no gree make them count them, and still these people remain in Nigeria, being disrecpected

Yoruba man, the problem with you people is you don't know Eastern people, you stay in yorubaland and asking why Oron, Ibibio and Annang will not accept to be one. Why do you wan them to be one? Are they the same? Do you know that Ibibio share more in common with Igbos than Oron and Annang? Useless One Nigeria dividing and joining people left and right anyhow.
I dy laugh you.. If you think everything Is Yoruba.. I'm just stating what I've seen.. I was born in calabar and I live in Akwaibom.. I didn't say it to divide anybody.

I'm just telling you the truth.. Why will you all say I'm Efik or I'm Ibibio or I'm oron when you all are the same (share same language and culture similarities) ... My point actually is for them to unite.. Maybe you didn't see the deeper message sir... I'm not dividing anybody trust me. If you've been seeing my post you will know my stance.

I just want all akwa/cross people to unite. If you live here you will see the subtle disdain amongst them. maybe you didn't get the message or I passed it wrongly sir..

But you guys should stop the yoruba accusation every now and then

It's too early for this nonsense.

Firstly, from my experience in this Lagos so far, The Hausas are second most populous.

Fulani at 15million are the fourth, TIV, Ijaw, Nupe in that order
oga pls check well...you mistaken Ijaw population figure for fulani...
fulanis are 9million

Ijaws are not even up to 7 million what is the population of bayelsa and delta where they mostly reside i barely met an ijaws in Lagos and portrait court..
mumu what males one to travel is to get daily food or business.... then why should Ijaws leave the oil business and travel?

how did you count bayelsa and delta population?

Ijaws largest blocks are rivers bayelsa and delta... then Ijaws are edo ondo akwa ibom...

what did you even used to count the exact populations of nigeria?

who can travel into sea and creeks to count all Ijaws?
Ijaws are more than 20million

richmond500:
they are the most populous in SS region, though I think Fulani is the fourth most populous then TIV, then Kanuri followed by Ijaw.

By the way, which one is portrait court? If u meant portharcourt then u should know that its very difficult to group and know people by their individual tribes her in PH, as we hardly identify ourselves by our different tribe, that's why we always have problem with Igbos on NL cos they don't understand that here we prefer a common identity
wrong...totally wrong... what males you think fulanis or kanuris are more than Ijaws?

you some ignorant eastern Ijaws always judge the Ijaws with your eastern look.... am tired of some of you rivers Ijaws... do you know the population of we western Ijaws that dominate delta state and still found much in edo and ondo?

Moreover I schooled in Bayelsa, had my childhood is Rivers, therefore I am very much aware of how populated ijaw is
I am not ready to argue on this but I know Kanuri and Tiv are very much in Nigeria, even if ijaw is more, it won't be a large difference

How many states are Kanuri's indigenous to? I think Ijaws have a slight edge over Ibibios for 4th, but the Ibibios might as well have a good argument for been the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria cause Ijaws are a very tiny minority in Rivers, Delta, and Ondo states.
what are you talking?
Ijaws are 60% in rivers state.....and 35% in delta state...
Ijaws are only tiny in edo ondo akwa ibom...
