I carefully checked this.
So many of who you call Hausa are of different tribes and where Ijaw occupy in Niger Delta is larger than South East Nigeria, but for Igbos in South South, Ijaws would have been larger than Igbo.


The highest numbers of Ijaws are in Rivers State including so many Bayelsans because Port Harcourt is like second Capital City of Bayelsa that came out of Rivers.


Ijaws are in 6 States of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom States, all are fully together and not even scattered by God but Nigeria scattered us.

@General Ditari.

Remove Ijaw from no 4 and put Akwacross. You guys should come after the Urhobo+ Isoko in the South South beacause I think after the Igbo's in Lagos the Urhobos should be the most populous non indegenous population in the South West especially Lagos

Akwa Cross is no tribe name.

Only Cross River have 17 tribes

Akwa Ibom have 8
Ijaw have 7 and half LGAs in Akwa Ibom

Chai..




Lobarton!!



We are all Ijaw",,

Because "Ijo' in Yoruba means "A Group of People".

Akwaibom is the 4th largest tribe in Nigeria...

God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

Even the political group Ijaw has K-leg because inside the group you would find groups being yoked as Ijaw speaking Ibibio and Igbo languages. In Rivers state after Igboid groups Ogoni is the undisputed most populous because under the Ogoni Umbrella you have the Eleme(no matter how they chose to deny it) and the Abuluoma

Akwa Ibom is smaller than Bayelsa in area and it still has 8 tribes of which only Ijaw have 7 LGAs in it with extra half that they share with annang in Ukanafun LGA

You’re also very correct. So far Yoruba and Hausa are in it.

But no need abusing me tho, you don’t need to be triggered except if you’re from a minority tribe and sad you can’t make it to the top 4.

@General Ditari.

Ijaw is only around 1.5% of Nigerias population, they less in number than even Ibibio, Fulani, Tiv, Kanuri.

GreatBoss:

@General Ditari.

Ethnic Groups not Tribes.

Ijaw ke!!!
Ijaw should be the 6th or 7th. Ijawa are not much. Landmass does not determine the population otherwise kanuri and gbagyi would have been the 3rd & 4th .
Ijaws are good in claiming other people as part of their tribe.
The population in their core state which is bayelsa is nothing to write home about.
Effik-Ibibio is far more populated than the ijaws. There is no part of akwa ibom that speak ijaw, they are just trying to claim ibiono to be ijaw because they have oil.

I'm 33 years old, and I can count how many ijaws that I have meet in my life.

If you see 2 Rivers State person one is Ijaw.

See any Bayelsa person he or she is Ijaw


See any 6 Ondo person one is Ijaw

What about if the ratio is Nigeria?

How many Nigerians do I have to see to be able to see 1 Ijaw?

1:100000?

Translate Abuluoma for me in your language.

Largest ethnic group is Hausa followed by Igbo. The fact that Igbos are many in other States and Southeast is still more densely populated than all the other parts of Nigeria is enough evidence. The reason Hausa is larger is because all Hausas from every vountry are considered Nigerian citizens and they're merged with Fulani.

Even in Rivers State there are more Efik-Ibibios than Ijaw. The only part of Port Harcourt you encounter Ijaws is the Borokiri and Amadi/Abuloma area which is a tiny unit compared with landmass and population of the whole city.

Igbo
Igbo

Yoruba
Hausa
Ijaw
Fulani

And the rest.....

This is the pure Nigeria major tribe as they stand

Yoruba will always want to add sentiments to put their tribe based on propaganda

Yoruba majority with in Lagos .. Ibadan .. they rest of Yoruba land is deserted and emptied in Lagos

Lagos has a population of less than 18 million..

Ibadan not Oyo has a population of less than 7 million ...

Then where’s the Yoruba population ..
if we’re to be honest and forget propaganda

Hausa population is more than Yoruba population by far

I mean only real Hausa population , not Hausa Fulani or northern population

Yoruba population might be a little major than Ijaw ..

When and where did elebuibon said this nonsense. Any literate historians knows the word Yoruba existed before any Hausa/Fulani caliphate.. Yoruba or Yoruba has no meaning in the Hausa Fulani vocabulary... Even the sultan of Sokoto has denied hausa/Fulani being the originator of the said name. The word Yoruba was discovered in the papers of Ahmed Baba, a wandering Islamic scholar who lived in 15th - 16th century; much years before your fulani lords lived.
Ahmed Baba got the name from the people of the old Oyo empire during his contact with them

I’m glad you also added Nupe as the fifth tribe. They have the numbers too and I specifically love Nupe people especially their women with how they do that their dance.

Rubbish. You are know to always write rubbish. You are not from Rivers state, but you always feel the need to write what you don't know about Rivers state.

You are implying that Riverine people are half of Rivers State . Oboy, your dealer is really doing you dirty. Riverine people are a minority by farrrrrr.

If you include present day Bayelsa into Rivers state now, Ijaw will still not make half of the population. Where are your towns that has the population? Is it Okrika or Abonnema or Bonny or Buguma. Mtcheew.

Ikwerre owns Rivers state.

Ijaw is not even the biggest in Niger Delta.
But you're correct, Hausa is a language, not an ethnic group
