ManirBK: All attempts at giving a conclusive number to the population have been theories and intelligent gueses. Even census that should be our reference have been met with political gimmicks and screwed results. So even hausa being number one is questionable. There's a lot of holes you can poke at that conclusion But I tend to rely on the idea of 45 million yorubas in Nigeria 4 Likes |
Re: Who Has The Largest Population Between Yoruba And Igbo by Ologbo147: 7:32pm On Jun 04, 2022 |
macof:Yorubas being 35 million even would be wild guess. No major tribe in Nigeria is more than 35 million believe or not. Semi major groups in Nigeria have experienced "stunted growth" as a result of analysis by men from major groups. Groups like ibibio-annang-efik would hardly scale 15 million when analysed by these men but Yoruba which was just twice the number of this group in 1921 According to the census at the time is given the number 45 million like if the ibiboid groups experienced genocide. Same with other semi major groups like kanuri, Fulani and Tiv which are heavily downplayed 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Who Has The Largest Population Between Yoruba And Igbo by deadkamalu: 2:35am On Jun 07, 2022 |
It is erroneous to think the Hausa are the most populated in Nigeria except you classify all the Nupe,jukun,chamba,gbagyi,Fulani,kanuri,eggon and other hundreds of tribes in the north as hausa |
Re: Who Has The Largest Population Between Yoruba And Igbo by deadkamalu: 2:42am On Jun 07, 2022 |
nsiba:Hausa should take the 3rd spots except we want to classify all the tribes in northern Nigeria as hausa which can be misleading. Hausa is now more of a language than a people as many tribes in the north with no Hausa descent use it as Lingua. Mostly found in the north west the Hausa should be around 20million in number. the north east and north central should have the highest number of tribal groups in Nigeria and they are not Hausa but use it as a lingua |

macof:Itsekiris are not up to a million, the Yorubas in Edo state are not more than a hundred thousand, kabba is the least populated senatorial district in kogi state making up about twenty percent of the population of the state(1.2 million at most). Kogi and kwara even are not strong population centres(Yorubas in kwara will be at most 3 million. These numbers cumulatively would staggeringly make six million. We know Ekiti is a bonus state. Among the least populated in the country. Cannot be more than 3million now. Osun is just there too, no viable bubbling town there, would hardly make 3.5million. I think most persons ordinarily count kogi west and kwara as part of Yoruba save for itsekiri which won't add much when counted alongside. I don't know what else to call oyedepo and the afolayan family if not Yoruba not like they have Yoruba denial issues. Or smart adeyemi from kogi west.All Yorubas I have seen from kogi west and kwara own it with their full chest that they are yorubas. You only call people what they call themselves. 2 Likes |

macof: Who are the Yoruba in Delta? Do you mean the Itsekiri? Or do you mean the Olukwumi, who generally use Igbo names now, are culturally Aniocha and are hardly conscious of their Yorubaness? In any case, they occupy a few tiny villages, and I won't be surprised if they don't number up to 100,000 people in total. 1 Like |

Re: Who Has The Largest Population Between Yoruba And Igbo by Okada691: 11:13am On Dec 23, 2023 |
Teddy0147:you are a clown, the south south igbos alone are safely realistically bigger than ijaws, Igbanke an Igbo group in Edo state would match the population of the Ijaws in Edo state. The igbos in delta state is about three times the population of Ijaws in delta state. The excess or remnant would cut half the population of Bayelsa state. When you go to rivers state, the local government of the Ijaws are the least populated, igbo groups like Ogba,Ndoni,Ndoki, Etche, Omuma ,Egbema, Oyigbo,Ikwerre, Asa, etc would comfortably take care of the Ijaws in rivers state and there would be excess or remnant, when you now add the population of Ezza igbos in Benue state scattered in three local government with over three hundred villages to the excess or remnant from rivers state, that would comfortably take care of the remaining from Bayelsa state. No need to go to the east. That is the reality, when you sum up the population of Igbos in Delta, Edo, Rivers , Benue , that would safely comfortably take care of the population of Ijaws in Nigeria. So it is a far cry or it is delusional to assume that Ijaws are even 25% of the population of the igbos in Nigeria let alone being more than them 1 Like |
