obviously beaf and his cohorts know what's going on, but can someone modify the thread title as well or who is telling lies against wikipedia. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by Yewe2011(m): 2:39am On Mar 13, 2012 |
yea they are definitely not Ijaws, are 4th largest (make up 16% of the population and amount to roughly 16 million people) clearly the 3 largest ethnic groups in Nigeria are (in no order) Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo |

Beaf, is the one selling Yanogoa to the world as a fourth largest ethnic group. The first article said they have a soccer league in Yeanagoa. . . I'm like really, Playing water in the creek |

Yenagoa's population is estimated at about 12,350,000 people.[citation needed] It is the home of the Bayelsa United FC, a premier league football club. i think he ment our population is about about 12.3 million and not yenogoa population.btw who takes what is written in wikipedia seriously. |

It is true. Ijaws have replaced Igbos in Naija power equation. Make Yorubas keep an eye on their Edo brothers. If not, the same fate will befall the Yoruba. It's WaZoVare, b1tches! Konichiwa. |

Should i call it marketing strategy? "Ijaw Republic", I'm not surprise. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by kayswag100(m): 7:12am On Mar 13, 2012 |
Goes 2 show dat wikipedia ISNT a reliable source of information. Months back, i read thing about rapper, m.i, and most things written there were lies. . . |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by Nobody: 7:23am On Mar 13, 2012 |
there was no reference to back up the claim so why would anyone take that serious. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by Nobody: 7:26am On Mar 13, 2012 |
kayswag100: Goes 2 show dat wikipedia ISNT a reliable source of information. that's why it is advisable to always go through the reference as well after reading the article. Some newspapers publishers are involved in gutter journalism especially in Nigeria. |

saxywale: Then to the gutter goes the Wiki entry. Izon should correct the mischevious entry. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by DRANOEL(m): 7:45am On Mar 13, 2012 |
Yewe2011: yea they are definitely not who gave ijaws the 4th largest tribe? where do you put the nupe-,tiv,ibibio,kanuri who are clearly more than the ijaw? the ijaws are mostly concentrated in bayelsa with small populations in delta,ondo and rivers. the 2006 census figures for bayelsa was 1.6million. the tivs are mostly concentrated in benue with populations in nassarawa,taraba,plateau and cross rivers. the 2006 census for tiv areas of benue was 3.2. now if you add 1million each to both groups (to take care of outside populations) you would get 2.6million ijaws and 4.2million tivs |

alj harem: Facts are sacred and you shouldn't correct someone unless you're absolutely sure of what you're posting. 1. Arogbo is not a Local Government Area in Ondo State. 2. The Ijaws of Ondo State are in Ese-Odo Local Government (with headquarters in Igbekebo) and Ese-Odo LGA is not exactly homogenous since it comprises of the Apoi's too. 3. There are lots of Ijaw towns in Ese-Odo LGA and Arogbo is the principal town and seat of the Paramount ruler of the Ijaws of Ondo State. . .The Agadagba of Arogbo. |

We all can now see why this nation will never develop. I just can't understand why people will twist facts and realities to suit their myopic claims. As for me, Wikipedia is no longer reliable. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by DariusD(m): 8:43am On Mar 13, 2012 |
I laff in Spanish...The wikipedia should not just be edited by anybody. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by Nobody: 9:03am On Mar 13, 2012 |
Got to give it to this Arogundade fellow Resulting from a combined effort involving some other pseudonym called talk, not only are we better informed that Yenagoa is one of the most populous cities in the world, we also now know it occupies a land area greater than Nigeria itself - 700211116 kmĀ²

Okitipupa is a Yoruba settlement and largest town in Ondo South Senatorial district. They speak a variant form of the Ondo dialect, they are not Ilajes. |
Re: Ijaws: Nigeria's Largest Ethnic Group - Wikipedia by daywatcher: 10:28am On Mar 13, 2012 |
