Yes. The past gives birth to the present.
Unless you have evidence to prove that while other groups were castrated and Ijaws started giving birth to six babies at once.
Only a truthful population census will determine this

Bayelsa Ijaws should be about 2 million not counting the Urhobos of Bayelsa.

The remaining Ijaws will be around 1.5 to 2 million

Where is the 1.5 to 2 million coming from?
Mind you that even in Bayelsa, there are groups who are anthropologically never Ijaws but identify as Ijaw today even when the languages are distinct and no way related to Izon. I can these ones political Ijaws. Groups like Epie, Atissa fall into this category.
And in Rivers you have Engenni, Andoni, Abua, Odual, Degema, etc.
These groups are distinct ethnicities with distinct languages, but are politically Ijaw today.
Ijaw numbers at most 1.5 total, after substrating the political Ijaws from the ethnic Ijaws.

Common observation can also give us clues.
When you leave PH and Bayelsa, you hardly meet Ijaws anywhere else .
They are not that populous.
But you see Ibibios even in far north.
Igbos you can see even in the most remote places in the North and SW.

An average Ijaw man can stay in another location without you knowing his ethnic group. Oyo state has a large number of Ijaw people and Kano state, but you will not know

Lies.
If they have significant population, they can't hide.
People will know.
They will hold local meetings, probably have a Pere, etc.
Ijaw is the 8th most populous ethnic group in Nigeria, if we remove sentiments.

Ijaws are only found in Warri SW and no where else in Warri, I think.

Same thing.
If you have significant population in a place, you will be visible and the local power players there would seek for your collective votes during state elections.
Ijaw is a minute ethnic group.
I have travelled all over Nigeria and I know this.

Even GEJ is not ethnically Ijaw. Ogbia is only politically Ijaw.
All things being equal, Ogbia should be an independent ethnic group, considering the fact that their language is totally distinct from Izon.

The ikwerry lga are obiokpo phalga, emohua, and ikwerre lga. And all these are igbos. So igbos in Rivers state constitutes 60 % in Rivers state. Eg. Egbema, Etche, Omuma, Obigbo, ikwerre, Opobo, Borny. Ndoni ogba etc.

Tribe means a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader.

Ethnicity means the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition


Ijaw people (also known by the subgroups "Ijo" or "Izon"wink are people in Niger Delta in Nigeria, inhabiting regions of the states of Bayelsa (their original Homeland), Delta, Edo, Ondo, and Rivers state. Many are found as migrant fishermen in camps as far west as Sierra Leone and as far east as Gabon. Population figures for the Ijaws vary greatly,15 million .They have long lived in locations near many sea trade routes, and they were well connected to other areas by trade as early as the 15th century.

Ijaws are not Tribe or Ethnic group, they don't share language or culture, they are very different and distinct fishermen that migrated to Niger Delta

Ijaw is not a tribe or an ethnic group

Arewa is not a tribe or an ethnic group

Niger Delta is not a tribe or an Ethnic group

There is absolutely nothing called middle belt or North Central in Geography

Nothing like "Hausa/Fulanis" as a tribe or ethnicity

Everyone is aware that Makinde wife is Ijaw while Akerreodolu wife is Igbo.

Engenni owns 1/3 of Ahoada west and they are a distinct ethnic group.
Their language is Edoid. They are only currently politically affliated to Izons for political gains of pipeline protection contract that Ijaws had cornered in Niger Delta.
The remaining 2/3 of Ahoada West belongs to Ekpeye,a distinct and independent Igboid group.

Bros all these are fallacy the population of ijaws in Nigeria is no more than 3million.
I have been to Bayelsa and worked in all books and cranies of Bayelsa. Bros all those swamps are empty.
All the water ways are empty.
Even the population put at 1.2 million in the last census is over exaggeration.
Tell me where in Bayelsa of the eight local govt where U have large concentration of people .
No where.
In the last Gorvernorship election total Registered voters were put at 500,000. I am not saying this is a yardsty. Even at that, the registered voters are vague. These are political registration. The total vote cast was not upto 120,000.
Now come to rivers state we have how many local govt that are ijaws. Okrika, kalabari constitute only 4 or 5 lga. Mind U Opobo nkoro,Borny, Andoni lumped up together are not ijaws.
Now in Delta they have only two LGA now what is the population of 8 Lga in Bayelsa core ijaw gives U Less than 2 million according to census data that was over inflated.
Total ijaw is no more than 2.2 million at best in Nigeria.
Now come to rivers state who are the ijaws


Are you seriously serious that Opobo, Bonny n Andoni are not Ijaws.
Bro, you might be stoned if we hear that kind thing from your mouth.

Ok, so tell me, where are they from if not ijaws
