Just like the post said, you won't know they are Ijaw if they don't tell you.

It's not easy to know Ijaw like other tribes are.

I have seen more urhobo people than ijaws. I have never heard Ijaw language in my life.

I have heard Edo, anang/ibibio severally. If an Ibibio, urhobo or Edo is talking, I will recognize their language but Ijaw? I have never heard Ijaw langage before in my life

If you own a business that allows you interface with people everyday, I don't know where you are in country, you will sure meet an Igbo person within a month.

You own a business in Benin and you won't get to met an Ijaw person all your life or even hear ijaw language, not to talk of in the north.


Lol, I don't even count Ijaw to be the 4th largest because you people are usually no where to be found.

if you stay IN ABUJA, you can line in Abuja for 100 yeas and die without hearing Ijaw person speak.
You can't stay in Abuja for 1 year without hearing Igbo or Yoruba.

You are more likely to hear Edo and Ibibio in Abuja than Ijaw. I'm usually surprised when you people claim to be the 4th largest when we don't even see your people around.

*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.

Igbos are just too phenomenally good. Imagine a tribe no one even knows except for GEJ that became the president.
Most you always attach yourself to Igbos? You guys are just too local.
Focus on safeguarding your oil and leave Igbos from okada gossip.
