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.

ahmedoo:

4rm d polls its obvious dis website aint popular in d north.

nwabobo:

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

DRlulu:

someone mentioned that ikwerre and anioma groups were not listed, if na like that then onitsha,izaa,ekpeye,achi,owerri,ngwa,mabaise,issi,nsukka,oba,mbano,oguta,aba,abakiliki,agbor,ukwuani,etche,otueke,ogbaru,nri,nnewi, nnokwa,ndoni,oyigbo etc should also be listed oo no wayo for here oo .make we no start to dey fabricate ethnic groups from no where.

aieromon:

aloy-emeka:

What makes you think the Igbo/Yoruba thugs in Nigeria wants your voice to be heard?

Carlmax:

Bassa, Estsako, Esan, Ogoni, Nupe, Ebira, Gwari, these tribes are all more than 1 million each. your poll is null and void.

alj_harem:

good one op

odumchi:

For those of you with mixed background you can chose tto pick your father sor mothers die. In most of Igboland you can have a white mother but as long as your father is Igbo your ethnicity is Igbo.

Yewe2011:

there's a lot of us Ghanaians on here, we should have "Ghanaian" option

this is not a Nigeria census but a Nairaland Forum census correct?

Andre Uweh:

@Alh Harem, is there any reason why Nigerian successive govts do not want to include ethnicity in census data?.

odumchi:

The numbers would be shocking.

[/quote)yeah

Bialegend:

Because it is done in other countries of the world, especially USA.

alj_harem:

what if there is an ethnic census and igbo or yorubas are found to be minorities

would you people not be screaming north this north that. Aboki has done it again

or if the, lets say igala are more than igbo, or yoruba

would you people not take to the streets in protest that you are being marginalised

i think we should think carefully about what we want

sadiq88:

shoooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwww!
i thought this website/forum is owned by yorubas, why is is ibo beating them in population?

op
why can't i vote twice or more than?

odumchi:

There is no way that Igbos or Yorubas could be found as "minorities". The Igbo have been undercounted and the Hausa have been overcounted, we want reasonable/reliable figures.

alj_harem:

odumchi, I know what I am talking about

Hausa is not alone because it is called hausa/fulani thus they are the most populous people in Nigeria

Now if they find out the ijaw is more than yoruba or igbo would you people not take to the street (riots)

I hope they do the ethnic census
