@General Ditari.
I have spent quality time in the following states..
1. Adamawa
2. Anambra
3. Ekiti
4. Nasarawa
5. Rivers.

I haven't seen nor interacted with any one that claims he/she is ijaw by tribe.. In fact in Rivers State, Bonny precisely. Most Indigenes speak Igbo as their local language, not Ijaw nor even Ibani is spoken there.

So I wonder where is the so called population of the Ijaws is..?

first, in portharcourt, u will hardly see someone that speak his dialect, we have 28 indigenous languages, so English is used to them
Don't compare Rivers to Anambra that is 80% Igbo.

If there is a good population of Ijaw on NL, then there is a tendency that Rivers State has alot of Ijaw too who are on a low key.

BTW, @OP, I think those three are not the most popular but the most talkertive

Its not possible that Ijaw are among the top three tribes in NL..

Based on street interactions in Nigeria, Ijaw cannot find themselves in top 6 tribes in the country.
Minority tribes like Tiv, Fulani & Igala are way much more than the Ijaws.

I no get time to argue with you.
Wikipedia and other statistics sites place Ijaw as above Tiv and Igala, but you are here forming ur own stats

Yoruba and Igbo electronically attack themselves here. Igbo electronically as well attacks Fulani. Fulani physically attacks both Igbo and Yoruba.

Igbo because of their victim mentality….always crying

Yoruba…because they act on the defensive

Fulani/Hausa….because others jealous them for their political sagacity
