Read well and you see where it says Ijaw mix fully like the people and you can't notice Ijaw if he or she didn't tell you.

Igbo is even 10th not 4th. Kalabari is even more populated than Ijaw. Ikwerre is more populated than Ijaw. Ijaw is the largest ethnic group in Bayelsa among the numerous ethnic groups in the State including Epie, Nembe, Ogbiya , Isoko, Urhobo and Engenni.

Werey Kalabari is just one of the 86 Ijaw Clans.
The rest you mentioned are also Ijaw Clans.

That's according to you but historical, linguistically and culturally Kalabari is distinct and Ijaw is distinct. They are all under Ijaw nation but inside Ijaw nation there is Ijaw proper different from Nembe and Kalabari.

A picture taken by an English explorer circulating on social media of an Ijaw man with his Ibo slaves..

I will see how I can cover the nudity of the slaves on the original and repost. The slaves in the picture were mostly naked and some have ichafu on their heads.

People thought Asari was joking when he made that statement not long ago.

Ijaws. You are a great tribe. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

In the picture below, the Ijaw man's family are fully clothed while the slaves are nude. From the ichafu, we can all tell their tribe.

The truth is bitter shey?

If Ijaw is that Large, you won't have to be struggling to convince Nigerians because it would be too obvious.

You said ijaw spanned across 6 States.

In Akwa ibom and cross River for instance, what's the percentage of ijaw population?

Even in Rivers, are ijaws more than half or Rivers population?

Can you compare that to SW, SE and NE where They consist of over 90 percent of the population?

*THIS IS WHY IJAW IS A VERY LARGE TRIBE..* .




The Ijaw Nation is having over 2,800 villages and settlements starting from Furupagha settlements bordering Ore in Odigbo LGA of Nigeria's Ondo, and Ijaw continues uniterrupted even to Mbo-Obolo areas that border Odukpani in Calabar main city areas.
Ijaw spans over 6 Nigerian States.



Where Ijaw occupy in the Niger Delta is larger than Igbo land but the marginalization of Ijaw wouldn't make people see it that way.
To be sincere,
Ijaw give birth very fast. Average of 17 years lady in an Ijaw Community is already a mother and average of 19 years old guy in Ijaw Community is already a father.
Compare that to Igbo that goes to 40 or more before giving birth.
Average Ijaw man or woman in their 40s is already a grand parent.
Western and Central Ijaws are like this.
Ondo, Edo, Delta and Bayelsa Ijaws..



Rivers Ijaw people would rather spend most of their youths doing hook up here and there in the name of succeeding first and do not give birth that fast and as common like the other Western and Central Fringe of Ijaw.
They are similar to Akwa-Ibom Ijaws in that regard but Akwa Ibom Ijaws give birth faster than them in Rivers Ijaw.



Ijaw is an integration of many subgroups related through similar ancestry of which each can stand as different tribes of their own if it is Nigerian standard.
That means Ijaw is confederation of atleast 86 tribes if it is Nigeria way of measuring tribes of which that's the number of Ijaw Clans..



Due to Central Dialect issue, Ijaws don't speak here and there and act like different tribes having only the Socio Cultural Organizations to unite Ijaw.
You don't judge by population of the Riverine areas.
Most Ijaws leave home for greener pastures because it is not easy to develop Ijaw areas and God gave us Crude Oil as compensation for our difficult terrains but they take their resources and take Ijaw own too all in the name of one fraudulent, expired, and confused confederation like country called Nigeria.



When Ijaw travels to none Ijaw areas, they act like the people, you cannot easily recognize an Ijaw person if the person didn't say it, unlike Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa among others that are easily recognizeable.
Ijaws are among the largest tribes in Nigeria.
Ijaw is never a minority and that's a term they used in degrading Ijaw hence the unjust balkanization into over six States .




Before we became Nigerians, we were first Ijaws and Ijaw we will remain forever.
Ijaw our past, Ijaw our present, Ijaw our future.


Ijaw our final home.



@General Ditari.

No. Ijaw is the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Oya, go collect the prize money.

And you say the ones standing are masters and the ones sitting at the table are slaves? Hmm 🤔 what sort of slave-master relationship is this?

Just another butterfly feeling like a bird.

I often wonder what these people are good at. What they are known for. What (else) they bring to the table. Isolated from the comforts of hiding under the broad but disparate umbrella of "South South' strange bedfellows, what would be their unique bloc power?

If the crude oyel dries up tomorrow, as it must, what would they bring to their own table? This applies to the Ijaw, Itsekiri, and the other tiny ethnicities around Rivers/Delta State who are quick to point fingers and shalaye because of the small film trick made possible by 'awa oyel'.

How can those nude ones be the master. Use your head man.

The head of the house is the man dressed like a present day Ijaw man. His kids are the clothed ones. The slaves are the one wearing ichafu/afro and those calf trinklets...this picture is circulating amongst Niger deltans and being shared/retweeted all over twitter.

They are literally everywhere. I schooled in Europe and they are even everywhere at my university in Manchester. They often have English surnames names aside their regular native name which is unique.
