Oyo state alone is as big as the 5 South East States put together and Oyo is an homogeneous Yoruba state but no South East State is homogeneous.

Are the igbos limited to only the 5 Eastern state? Pls enlighten your self. Igbos are also indigenous to Kogi and Benue along side Delta, Rivers and Cross River.

Truth be told, Igbos are not larger than Ijaw in population.

The areas Ijaws occupy in the Niger Delta is as big as Igbo land.

Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into six states when all Ijaw areas are together and share perfect boundaries with each other.

Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when Ijaws are not even scattered by God.

Just shut up.

You must not publicly display your shallowness.

You seek to promote your Ijaw by diminishing the great Ndigbo. There are better ways you could deploy in propagation of your ethnicity, and must not descend to "Yoruba tactics"

Tell us who the Ijaw is. What does he/she represent. What are your people's culture and customs.

Telk us the Gods you worship. We want to know your ancient history. Tell us about your prominent people and your national political systems if you have any. Do not leave out your national ethnic alliances and adversarial conquests.

Leave Ndigbo alone. You must not measure up with them, or down for that matter. They are more successful and more populated than the Yoruba you admit are greater than you.

Sell yours, and do not engage in Yoruba's "demarket them" mindset.

The only truth there is Hausa being number one. There’s NO WAY Fulani is fifth. Ibibio is bigger than ijaw.
Op lifted a flawed analysis from a random site without verification and pasted here. There's no way Yorubas will be larger in population than Igbo. It's not possible and if we're sincere to ourselves, it shouldn't be a subject of discussion. Every Nigerian knows this fact. Kano city or municipal alone houses more Igbo than Yoruba. In SouthWest, Igbos have appreciable or noticeable number in Lagos, Ibadan and Akure. These are verifiable data which Eze Ndigbo in these cities should have. I don't know why Op was trying to be mischievous with his copy and paste research. Sad

You are a liar, Igbos have more population than Yoruba. Forget about sentiment, Igbos are populated than Yoruba. Lagos for instance, Igbos want to overshadow Yoruba. with population in their backyard. Igbo is the second populated Region in Nigeria after Hausa.

You have time to engage that Ijaw miscreant called Ditari. Ignore him so he should continue wallowing in ignorance. Even Onitsha population alone is bigger than tiny Ijaw. Bayelsa, their main State has more water bodies than dry land yet Ijaws are claiming population. Ibibio, Tiv, Igala, Idoma, Okun, Nupe, Kanuri, Efik etc are all bigger and larger than Ijaw and there's no way Ijaw should claim 4th largest tribe ahead of Ibibio unless Ibibios are fools who don't care about population and census.

Go to Abuja
Kano

Lagos,
Sokoto,
Portharcourt,
Akwaibom,
Jos
Benue,
Delta,
Calabar,
Ogun,

After the indigens which other tribe dominate??

Igala
Are you talking about >0.9% of Igala population in Anambra West that were merchandized as slave from their ancestral home to Anambra Thanks to civilization, they have all been enculturated as Igbo thereby losing their ancestral affinity to Igala. SouthEast is a homogeneous Igbo region with 99.5% of indigenous Igbo living there. Other tribes–Hausas, Yorubas, Efik, Igalas make up the remaining 0.5%.

Population census in Nigeria is pure lies. We’ve been lied to and deceived all this while.
Hausas as a single tribe are not more than Igbos not to talk of yorubas.
Northern elites are so aware of this.
Why are they scared to conduct another population census. Why was the place of residence used in the headcount instead of place of origin. Why are igbos second ethnic group in each state after the indigenous state ethnic group.
A lot of minority tribes in the north that speak Hausa are not really Hausas....

It's not true. AkwaIbom people don't understand Igbo language not even "Bia" and there's no way someone will assume they're Igbo because they're living in Ibadan, Kano or Abuja. Every tribe has their distinct or uñique identity which once you look at him or her, you would be able to say where he or she comes from.

They are Land grabbers

On a good day they will try to tell you Lagos is not Yoruba as if the Oba of Lagos is from the SE then they will go and drag Bonny with Ijaws ,Benue with the Idoma and Kogi with the Igala , even Ogoniland they drag

If you have come to realise that we must break from Nigeria first and then workout regions/countries within Biafra as reasonable people, then I call you General Ditari, my comrade.

If you're here cursing Biafra and waiting for our people to do the work before coming in, then you're General Deeznuts and you're ignorant.
