Minsk24:
Exactly, i was confused...

ImmaculateJOE:
Same thing I wanted to say..

Most of the people he thinks are Fulani, are Fulani wannabe.

Bachama outnumber Fulani in Adamawa state.

Again, no indigenous Hausas in Adamawa state.

BlackhatMentor:
They'll still look for way and drag a particular tribe into this 😁

grandstar:
Fantastic information

Are Hausas indigenous to Bornu? I learnt their not

emmamajesty:
according to what they lectured us during my NYSC time 2017 in delta state they said Igbos Speaking Delta state are more populated than any other tribes then followed by the Ijaws, urhobos before Ishekri

slivertongue:
live Obaseki and Edolites to decide

slivertongue:
people like you who lack home training will always trade insults for discourse. Plateau is good under PDP and Edolites know the difference between APC and PDP.

LifeofDream:
If you don't know something, it's either you don't talk or ask... Which ijaw are in ilaje and okitipupa?..

The Ijaw in Ondo state are not up to 5% of the total population, they aren't even the only one that occupy the Ese-odo local government you find them..

I ask you once again, where's the ijaw population in Ondo state??..

LifeofDream:
This is the problem I have with you, where are the 400k ijaw in Ondo state?.. The Ese odo local government that you find ijaw is one of the smallest local government by population in Ondo state.. They aren't even the only one in the local government, we've some ilaje with them in same local government.

By giving ijaw 400k population in Ondo state, you're saying they're at least 10%of Ondo population?.. The Ijaw in Ondo state are less than 5% of Ondo state population..

I ask you once again, where's the ijaw population??..

MichaelSokoto:
LP cannot get more than 25% in entire Edo South, dats numba one!

Numba 2, both Dennis & Ize-Iyamu & any other APC chieftains cannot pull more than 30% for APC in Edo South here unless dey come to buy votes which will help dem to maybe up to 35% which is also in high doubt!

Agreed Edo North is goin to APC because suffer no dey taya dem 4 dat side.

Battle ground is in Edo central, dat I can't predict. I know Okpebolo's dad is a major influence there but it's definitely no guarantee for an APC walk over unless APC induced suffering never use hand mama dem well well 4 there!

Result...

PDP - winner
APC - runner up
LP - 3rd
Pastor Azena - 4th

Eteka1:
Calabar Municipal, Calabar South, Akpabuyo, Bakassi, Odukpani.

Truths9ja:
he predicted it correctly. He said governor Fubara will win over Wike and it happens.

slivertongue:
Don't waste your time trying to twist narratives like kids. Plateau started the push against APC in 2019. The rest is history. No right thinking NIGERIAN living in today's Nigeria will vote APC. APC is a calamity that must be avoided.

MichaelSokoto:
I will come back to answer u properly pls cos am quite busy now...

jamesversion:
With the exception of Delta, I think your summation is fair.

Bomadi, Patani and Burutu cannot have 800k persons combined. Even gbaramatu in warri SWest included, no way is Ijaw getting 800k people. 550-600k at best.

4.5M is fair.

slivertongue:
You don't have respect for the Fathers of others thus your insults. You must be a millennial to think everyone is a kid. I repeat your father is likely my contemporary. Plateau rejected APC, Edo votes should do same. The gang that denied the printing and looting of money only to accept after Buhari has left can't and shouldn't be trusted.

jamesversion:
garfield1, kindly breakdown how you arrived at Ijaw being 5-7million. Thanks.

slivertongue:
obaseki is still the governor, PDP is still the ruling party. The choice is for Edolites to make and I doubt they will consider a party that has destroyed the economy. Your father could be my contemporary

Truths9ja:
Tonye knows fact about Edo State politics now

slivertongue:
unstable character so you abandoned Dennis Idahosa?

MichaelSokoto:
In dis govnorship, Edo South is going to AI above 75%,
Edo north about 55% - 75% for APC,
Edo central is less than 50% for APC

LP can't get more than 20% in d whole Edo district unless they are bound to shock me!

Eteka1:
So in your estimation, Efik doesn't have up to 1million?

Truths9ja:
😂 Oshimole faction will surely work for ASUE Ighodalo governorship bid

Truths9ja:
FRESH Crisis Hits Edo APC, Oshiomole Loyalists Join Asue Camp...

Sen. Adams Oshiomole and his loyalists have been protesting against the return of the impeached Philip Shaibu. Anti-Oshiomole forces, which include a "Pastor" and others, are seriously pushing return of Shaibu to the Party. The aim of the anti-Oshiomole forces is to use Shaibu to undermine Oshiomole in Edo North, especially Etsako West LGA where both men hail from. They want to render Oshiomole politically irrelevant.

Oshiomole's supporters have declared showdown, they are already pledging support to the ambition of Dr. Asue Ighodalo. They already have grievances against the APC candidate, who have shown zero concern towards their welfare. Moreover, Oshiomole and his loyalists hold the view that Shaibu was the reason for the rift with Governor Godwin Obaseki. They also have good relationship with Dr. Asue Ighodalo - oops everybody have good relationship with Asue.

As at today, the Binis and residents of Edo South and the Esans are already for Dr. Asue Ighodalo. The only area that APC had hope of securing votes is the Afemai and Akoko Edo area of Edo North. Akoko Edo is already gone to Asue Ighodalo and PDP, Afemai is largely dominated by Adams Oshiomole's loyalists - and they are going to Asue Ighodalo.

I pity the Senator, he literally has no pathway to victory, but I am absolutely happy for Edo people, for the man they want and desire is already projected to assume leadership of their lovely state.

True true, Edo no de carry last! #AsueIghodalo2024

MichaelSokoto:
Agreed

Yankee101:
You clearly won

MichaelSokoto:
In d whole of Edo state, it's only part of afenmai indigenes dat can support or vote 4 him & his crookish party APC, even within core auchi peeps, dem no like d guy... 4get d media hype!

Pusyiter:
I understand your point as I am not a fan of any
But as it is
The hate for APC in Edo especially the South and Central is second to none
I wonder how Oshiomole will canvass for votes with his ugly antecedents while I expect Obaseki to be smarter than he is posing

steeltrust:
same thing with ijaws na
The own a whole state bayelsa and are majority in rivers, delta and edo while Igbos are majority or almost in rivers, delta, and lga’s in akwaibom and cross river

steeltrust:
bro not true
Ijaws are in all states in south south which makes the number 1 followed by the Igbos are in all major states in south south except edo
Ibibios are only found in two state same thing as urhobo
While Binis are found in one state which is edo

FatherOfJesus:
I agree with you on this.
However, the population of Igboid groups in delta is almost the total population of bayelsa state. The population of Igbo speaking part of Rivers, even Minus Ikwerre still outnumbers Ijaw in Rivers state.
We can do the maths

The whole of delta north senatorial district is Igboid and the are almost 2 million in population by estimate. Rivers etche and Omuma lga in rivers east have population of 500k combined, ogba-egbema-ndoni is 371k in population, there are still some Igbo speaking parts in Ahaoda east and west. Oyigbo lga in river south is about 200k.
One can even argue that Opobo is Igbo, because even in the history of Opobo, those lands were owned by Ndoki Igbo group and Opobo people still speak Igbo until tommorow but I don't want to add them.

I can already this an estimate of 3million Igbo population already, assuming that w don't want to include ikwerre and other minor Igbo groups in crossriver, bayelsa and Akwa Ibom.
I'm sure that if we dig deeper, we will find 4million native Igbo people in southsouth.

4 million is appropriximately 2% of Nigeria's population.
4million is enough to from another Igbo state in southsouth
