Ah no, I didn't come and cause trouble
We just wanna know the population of dem

I saw 15M i was shocked.
That's almost half of Yoruba or igbo people

we like the way you used responsible way to finding truth....

OfoIgbo:
In Delta state, Aniomas and Urhobos far outnumber the Ijaws. Itsekiris and Isobos are not really outnumbered by Delta Ijaws.

So there is no way in hell that Ijaws are up to 400,000 in Delta state.

I think in total Ijaws may be around 3.5 million

how many LGAs do the aniomas and urhobos have in delta? and how many Ijaws have?

Jerryherd:
Oni of Ife and Alafin of Oyo are paramount rulers with numerous king's

Yoruba is a language , Ijebu , Okun , Ekiti, Egba are all dialect of Yoruba... Dialect meaning variation of a language

Sultan and Emir of Kano and Sokoto are paramount rulers... Fulfude and Hausa are the languages.... With Nupe, Gwari and others having dinstict Hausa dialect

Question remains who is the paramount ruler of Ijaw Nation, what is the language and what are the dialects



.

you dont even understand what you saying.... please go find out dialect differences...
igbo are a whole does not even had a king until 1920s.....
and you are here asking for Ijaw centre king..... must every tribe be like hausa to have own centre leader?

Izon and Igbo is not part of that having supreme leader crew.....

every big tribe have subgroups....same way Izon also had subgroups.... why the ignorant blabbing?

Omoluabi1stborn:
No I haven't. Let me know the Local government they occupied. (Majority) In each of the states u mentioned

i will find out the lgs...

Omoluabi1stborn:
Okay, Patami is 92,800

Let's deduct Bomadi - 118, 500 from 6,865,500

Giving us = 6,747,000 plus 92,800

Total = 6,839,800

Total Bayelsa , Rivers and Delta ijaws are 6,839,800 as at 2016.

have you add the Ijaws in ondo edo akwa ibom abia lagos?
what will you gain in doing partial?

Omoluabi1stborn:
Warri North - 187,500 Burutu. - 286,400 Warri south - 429,600 Warri South West - 160,500 Bomadi - 118,500
Total = 1,182,500
NB I DIDN'T deduct Itshekiri and other non ijaws in that place.




5,683,000 + 1,182,500
= 6,865,500 Rivers + delta + bayelsa population = 6,865,500

Nwanyiogwashi:

Ebitimi44:
We need to start putting things straight, every side is trying to make the Ijaws a spoil, but we are a majority tribe in Southern Nigeria by all ramifications, population, number of states, landmass, etc by landmass we are still third, After Yoruba, Igbo, the next people in landmass is Ijaw, by coastlines, we are the second, After Yorubas the next people by coastline is Ijaw, what are they even saying.

Jerryherd:
What is the main language of Ijaw/ Izon

Who is the paramount ruler of Ijaw land

What particular social cultural practices ties Ijaw nation together?

.

what kind of dumb question is this?

you lack understanding....

how on earth will Ijaw have one king? how?

you must come from a minority tribe so you wont understand...

every big tribes have clans and dialects....
Ijaw also have many dialects and clans....

yoruba igbo is also made up of clans with multiple kings.... igbo picked centre dialect from anambra environ to get understanding...

yoruba picked a dialect from lagos environ.....

Ijaw also picked a dialect from bayelsa environ.....

Urhobo also have dialects differences....

Fulani have dialect differences....

so which bush you just come from?

igbo dialects called obi...eze...igwe...etc

Izon also called pere...amayanabo etc...

onitsha igbo dialect never understand by other ibos...
ebonyi dialect never understand by rest igbos...

Ariani:
Ijaw is the 7th ethnic group in Nigeria by population.

4th is Tiv, 5th is Ibibio, Kanuri is 6th.
CIA fact book supports this and pre Nigerian independence ethnic census in Nigeria agrees too.
If we separate Hausa from Fulani, then Ijaw becomes pushed back to 8th in the ranking.

Omoluabi1stborn:

Jerryherd:
Tribe means a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader.

Ethnicity means the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition


Ijaw people (also known by the subgroups "Ijo" or "Izon" are people in Niger Delta in Nigeria, inhabiting regions of the states of Bayelsa (their original Homeland), Delta, Edo, Ondo, and Rivers state. Many are found as migrant fishermen in camps as far west as Sierra Leone and as far east as Gabon. Population figures for the Ijaws vary greatly,15 million .They have long lived in locations near many sea trade routes, and they were well connected to other areas by trade as early as the 15th century.

Ijaws are not speaking one language? how? you talk too much ignorant things....

SonofLothbrok:
3rd largest what?

Ijaws are not more than 2 million people.
Ijaws are not even the largest ethnic groups in those state you mentioned.
Ijaws can only be found in bayelsa state and just a small number of them in few states.

Ijaws own 5LGAs in delta...Urohbo Isoko own 7LGAs. oya tell me me which tribe is the largest in delta state?

Ijaws own 12LGAs in rivers state.....ikwere own 6LGAs in rivers state.... oya tell me the largest tribe in rivers state? dont run o

iamuyiekpen:
Ijaws are strangers in Edo and have never been considered as natives and will never be considered as one. This whole Ijaw population is a lie from the pit of hell.

Ijaws have 5kingdoms/clans in edo state...namely....Egbema....Furupagha.....Ikomu....Olodiama.....Aza

Jerryherd:
Ijaw isn't a tribe or an ethnic group, it's a loose word used for coastal people around Nigerian coast

how? explain why?

Amarabae:
Ijaws are not up to 7million,
You guys are not up to 1 million in Delta,
Around 2.5million in Bayelsa and 2million in Rivers,
There are no Ijaws in Ondo, Ondo is South West Yoruba land, Ijaw begins and ends in South South
Fly fly dearie

try and get sense

Ebitimi44:
Speak for yourself, Ijaws are majority in Delta and Rivers, then Bayelsa is a predominantly Ijaw state,

thank you my brother..... am also from delta state.... Ijaws hold 35% as population in delta..... we are the largest ethnicity in delta....

SlayerForever:
There is a saying that goes thus : foolishness makes one very bold.


On your own you calculated 6.5 million. And still in your conclusion you somehow jumped to 17 million. Are you normal at all?

do you read it well?

Nisiw365:
Clown . how Yoruba's are working in oil companies as engineers, physicsist, managers, CFO,CEO while your ijaw people in same oil communities are only good at pipelone security guard should be your concern rather than acting comedy on nairaland

my major concern is for God to help yorubas against fulanis.... because even the wide mouth igboho that was making mouth like you was shamed by fulanis...... upon all sunday boast he could not even hurt any dss....
common dss defeated igboho in a blink of an eye.....

chai big for nothing tribe...

tamdun:
Keep lying to yourself, may be u should go and listen to Africa China music, you'll have little knowledge about what happened to ur people, opc deal with u people like mad and where da fuk is abule oba?
Wetin even bring yoruba to this topic? Yoruba share the same nation with Ijaw? How is that even possible

am sorry for that.... but go through the comments before passing judgment...it was your brother tinubuadvocate that start insulting Ijaws for no reason...... i respected Yorubas so i warned him but he refused...... he wanted to act like yam heads.....

SmellySperm:
Abeg where una dey see this big preeq get?
And am managing my 4.4 inches

nobody head for 9ja correct again sef

Nisiw365:
Shut up just ranting. I know you are in sifia pains that your small ijaw is too small and inconsequential to great Ibadan.
You idiot even turned it to joke saying Fulani evicted the whole of Ibadan . oloribu IMO

You should worry about how we Yoruba's are getting rich with your own oil than acting comedy on nairaland spreading fairytales

Yoruba's are the majority in your oil companies in communities . That should be your concern than joking on nairaland. Olofo

Ijaws would serve yorubas till you die

shut up.... dont let me sent fulanis to you in that benin idp camp... oyo state is empty now because of fulanis... fulanis chase also igboho to benin idp camp... yorubas are finished..... God please give yorubas power to save themselves..

i said it igbos are minority....
