REP S NIG:

THE RESULTS OF THE POLL IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE NORTH HARDLY PARTICIPATES IN SUCH FORUMS BECAUSE OF THEIR EDUCATION DEFICIT. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST POPULOUS, BUT YOU CANNOT SEE THEM HERE IN ANY SUBSTANTIVE NUMBERS. RATHER TINY MINORITIES ARE SHOWING MORE NUMBERS THAN THE SUPPOSED NUMBER ONE MAJORITY - THE HAUSA.

THE IDEA OF HUGE POPULATION IN THE NORTH IS AN ELECTORAL AND POLITICAL MYTH.

ASIDE FROM THIS, THEIR EDUCATION DEFICIT IS JUST AMAZING.

LET US HAVE THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA.
 

I am a northerner and haven't voted cos my ethnic group is not there. A lot of the ethnic groups in the north are not mentioned there so don't expect them to vote.

what does this have to do with anything? if ogonis and yorubas are killed too, does that mean they were made by gowon?

With numerous complaints by various people here about their ethnic group being left out, I think it would be proper to start a new poll based on[b] States of origin [/b] This should take care of everybody. Just my 2 kobo shocked shocked

Gowon didnt make dem Yoruba or Ogoni, they existed centuries b4 Gowon was born, Ur Ikwerre came into being in 1979 for fear of anti Igbo repression after de civil war, damn,, u dont need all these histories cuz u mind has been compromised already

You are quite right. Even Oyo, Ekiti Parapo, Ijebu, Egba, Igbomina, Akoko and others in SW nigeria are not listed. For example, you don't expect an Egba man to be called a Yoruba or someone from Ijebu to click on Yoruba as his ethnic group.

You people will never cease to complain. If this poll does not show you who are the most populated and most educated in nigeria, then i wonder what else will show you. You should get on with it.

Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by AndreUweh(m): 2:59pm On Aug 03, 2011
A lot of Igbo people whom I know see Nairaland as a Yoruba website and will not attempt to register in it. Nevertherless, Ndigbo and Yorubas are equally represented here i.e 35% Igbo and 35% Yoruba.
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by swezenberg(m): 2:59pm On Aug 03, 2011
I like your method OP. This is just for those that can discern.
Re: Nairaland 2011 Ethnic Census. by Bialegend(m): 3:04pm On Aug 03, 2011
I am still wondering why Oyo, Ekiti Parapo, Ijebu, Egba, Igbomina, Akoko and others in SW nigeria are not listed. For example, you don't expect an Egba man to be called a Yoruba or someone from Ijebu to click on Yoruba as his ethnic group. I know a girl from Ekiti that if you call her a yoruba girl, she will not mind breaking your head with anything around her.
