Ijaws are more than igbos in population... Ijaws are are supposed to be 3rd largest...
Ijaws have 6 kingdoms in edo
It is not about having 6 kingdoms in Edo state, what you call kingdom is what I understand as dukedom in Benin. It is not having 6 dukedoms, are they populated? will the population combined be remotely close to a quarter in Ekiadolor alone? There are four hundred Bini speaking dukedoms alongside your six "kingdom" in Edo south. how do you reconcile this. Edo state is big man

How can you eye what does not even exist? Ijaw Niger-Delta republic ends in Boro’s original map, no addition and no substraction. Biafra is dead and buried already so no need to flog a dead horse. What we have now is Rivers people with one future and vision. That is why we keep telling you Bayelsa/Delta boys to mind your business and focus on your states.
oh you got angry how we destroyed your biafra dream back to back of 1967 and 2021?

eyaah... oya sorry.. dooh..
please next time you people should not add Ijaw to it again so that we wont sabotaged it again...

pls i dont understand your word "dukedom".

i mean a kingdom of where a single kingdom has many towns under it...and each town has many commonities under it...
let take example at the kingdom i come from @Egbema....
Egbema can have it own independent republic or independent kingdom...
this was how we were before the white came to destroyed every thing...

take a look at Opobo kingdom that help britain to fight ghana...

See you don't hide population If you were up to as much as even 2% let alone 5%percent or more you will know you will know .The Owans are with two local government areas and they are about seven percent of Edo state numerically. We know the group that matters much and matters little in Edo state and you know you are inconsequential numerically. sometimes I forget you are in Edo state. One can stay four years in Edo state and not meet an Edo Ijaw. Stop calling it town! is it those your five hundred persons town which they sometimes show on Itv back then. call it Hamlet bikonu

Since you want links, then I can put you to shame, unity beggar. I actually had to go find this link in the Opobo group where one dude posted how you were busted. Check out the outright denigration by Okrika people who warned you Izons to allow them be.

Abeg see below as that was where you culled the above screenshot you flaunt around, yet you didn't bother to post the full version of how you were disgraced, that you had to use old Izon begging style to twerk for Okrika people before they left you in the group. I bet you were shell shocked to see such animosity. cheesy grin
Shameless igbo nincompoop pretending to be from Etche i've been to Etche unity from group on facebook They don't even consider themselves igbo. grin grin

Hope you can see where the Azipabu elderly man told you that Ijaw is not a tribe. And you could also see where Okrika themselves questioned what Ijaw clowns were doing in their group. grin

Any big city you go to Nigeria especially in the south after the original indigenes the next biggest tribe you will see are the Igbos after igbos are the ibibios or we prefer to call them calabars. Do you notice this too?
Not only in the south, everywhere. Akwa iboms are mini igbos. They are plenty here in the north.

Opobo and bonny aren't Ijaw localities.

Ijaw are a tiny minority in rivers state, If they are majority, they would have been winning guber elections yearly.

IGBO is by far the most dominant tribe in rivers state and the will rule rivers for ever, except ijaw begs them to allow them to rule.

Why was it so hard for Ijaw people in Rivers to keep their language? Of the 11 clans you listed here, only maybe 4 speak Ijo dialects.

INC and IYC does not qualify to called an ethnic organisation. More like a political affiliation. Which ethnic group uses pidgin English language as a means of communication. It's a shame.

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..

What is the population of Delta state? Is that a joke or mental illness?
Delta state has the 7th highest number of registered voters in the country, having only a few thousand behind Oyo state which is very likely to surpass by 2023

a state with so many tribes.all i'm trying to say is that people mistake calabar in cross river for cross river and akwa ibom and not only cross river alone.so they tend to call us all calabar but i still don't think ibibio ALONE can make that list without joining them with other neighbouring tribes.

ibibio is an ethnicity name while efik is the language name. any other language is a Sub dialect just like the ohafia, ohuhu, abiriba. that's why even in akwa ibom you an indigene says common iko Efik u'kana usem.

Ijaws are not seven state, Ijaws are so inconsequential in Edo state numerically, Even in Delta state, the largest group there are the Urhobos, then the Ukwuanis before ijos and others. It is not by having one, two sparsely populated communities in every state and saying you are in Every state in the south south.
What ward do you control, what local government do you control? what senatorial do you control convincingly, Even Delta south, you share with the Itsekiris and Isokos .
The Ijaws would stagger with seven million in total population, there is no way you can be more than Ibibios in population not now not ever

Wow! Such Brutality cheesy

Alegi Olotu with your several Nairaland moniker which includes Blacksaint come and see the title of the Okrika group. Did you see any attachee by force Okrika-Ijaws you IYC Bayelsa clowns like to flaunt.

Okrika people are using their platform to discuss issues that affect them, such as their preferred Okrika/Ogu-Bolo state for themselves, the Toboniju/Koniju problem, chieftaincy issues, the problem of unemployment, oil spill, cultism and insecurity.

Only you Ijaw land-grabbing clowns will come from nowhere to talk about IYC politics and other Okrika-Ijaw nonsense all to claim Port-Harcourt that has no boundary with Bayelsa.

Wakrike Nation is the title of the group. Not Okrika-Ijaw that you unity beggars are propagating. This was why they warned you Ijaw clowns to mind your business and stop dragging them into issues they are not interested in. Okrika people are talking about how to win Governorship election and sell a formidable candidate to their upland comrades and not street talks of Izon ogogoro drinkers.

Eastlink:
No na Izon keme. Izon-ibe occupied states for mouth. How are you different from IPOB who allocate fake figures to themselves.

Na only online we dey see this fraudulent Izon population. Lol grin

UGBE634:
Ijaws are not even up to one percent in Edo state. The whole of Etsako is about 12percent and they have three local government. The whole of akoko Edo is about 5% and they have a full local government to themselves, The Igbankes alone is more populated than the sparsely populated Ijaw communities in Edo state and they have two wards, E be like you think say Edo end for gele-gele and Ikhoro. Imo 5?Abia5% you are a clown.
In Delta state The Urhobos are the largest with about 35 percent, Then the Aniomas(Ukwuanis,Aniocha, Oshimili, Ika)which cannot be less than 30% of the population of Delta state with nine local government areas in Delta north. That is about 65 %, the Isokos and the Itsekiris can't be less than ten percent each. You at most will have 15 percent in Delta state.
In Bayelsa, your fraud of a state, We know you wont pass for a senatorial district in a state like Edo state. Edo central (Esanland) the least populated senatorial district in Edo state will match Bayelsa toe to toe in population. Your claim of the fourth largest group will always fall like the pack of card when carefully scrutinized. Kanuri, Tiv, Fulani, Ibibio are all bigger groups when compared to the Ijaws. Ijaw at best will make a an 8 position, the lie that came after Jonathan became president cannot stand in the face of men that can carefully analyze issues the truth must be told to your face whether you like it or not.
How can you be 60% of rivers state when there is Ogoni and Ikwerre. And both are both large groups with nothing less than than 1.5 million each and a heavy migrant population in Rivers state

UGBE634:

You are not from Rivers State, lol. No Rivers person will insinuate that the Ikwerre are the most populous in Rivers State. Every Rivers person knows Ogoni people are the most numerous in that state. Ikwerre just get landmass.
this same ogoni Kwanu, i personally feel ikwerre and ogoni are not as large as they claim to be, they do hide under migrants populations to claim those figures, rivers is a very cosmopolitan enclave
