No Igbo in any North central State. But we have alot of Igala in the East. Anambra is even an Igala ancestral State. Some parts of Enugu are Igala too.

Igbo States are only Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and half of Enugu States

True,they are many igalas in anambra north and enugu north and igede in ebonyi and Ibibio in Abia

ottersberger:
Regardless, you chose to forget their existence, but mentioned Angas who are probably at par in population (According to you).

I'll remove Angas and replace with Taroks

forgiveness:
How many Local government have indigenous Hausas in Niger state? See LGA.

Don't be deceived by that.the HAUSAS in Nigeria migrated there mostly from sokoto 200 years ago and have now been indigenized.babangiza muazu and Sani bello are HAUSAS.there are rumours that ibb and abdulsalam may be HAUSAS

forgiveness:
Also in Mokwa. Besides, indigenous Hausa are not much in Niger state. Perhaps, you are confusing yourself with Niger republic.

HAUSAS are the second largest in Niger state after nupes.

ImmaculateJOE:
What is the sense in mentioning that the guy who said so so, is from Anambra...?

Abi you want start an ethnic profiling like you people normally do..?

You said Emir is Fulani originated, which is not true.

To show you that he's of your stock and is unbiased.he was just trying to educate the gullible ones that they are two Fulani Emirates in plateau

ImmaculateJOE:
This is what you said earlier.

It seems you have comprehension problem or you are being deliberately mischievous or you simply chose to misapprehend the sentence like ihedioha vs uzodinma.even a mad man knows I meant that an emir must be Fulani in Nigerian settings not a Fulani creation as you wrongly believe

WizardOfNG:
Lol. Obi's leadership history shows he is nothing but a cynical crook and opportunists.

Did he consult Anambra folks whene he invested their money in dubious business ventures with the capital invested now seriously degraded today not to talk of even profit?

Not surpised , despite his famed wealth, the tight ass opportunists wey no dey give shishi, in searching of northern votes, is building boreholes that even wannabe local government chairman candidated are building a thousand times far better than.

His own is to drop the equivalent of kobos for "aboki" wey, according to Igbo man, has no brain and is used to sqaulor and poverty so can therefore be bought with pittance.

Can Obi build this same standard of borehole in the SW, SE or SS and not be cursed by the people?

Oboy,easy.na real smackdown on Pandora be this and the scammer will never recover

ImmaculateJOE:
Is that what we are discussing..?

The guy you quoted that brought about this discussion said , Emir is a Islamic title, you come say no, na Fulani origin, which is not very true.

I said emirs in Nigeria are fulanis and they usually rule where fulanis and HAUSAS have presence.that guy that said it svoboda is from anambra

BeninRefugees:
Less than but surely more than 200,000

and they should be acknowledged

They can't except there over 500k

forgiveness:
Yorubas are also in Niger state. He Jebba to be precise.

Minorities compared to the Hausa

ImmaculateJOE:
Igalamela/Odulu in Kogi

They are less than 200k and it's mostly igala

ImmaculateJOE:
Emir is not Fulani originated, its and Arabian origin.

The fulani word for Emir is Lamido

All emirs in Nigeria are fulanis

Paraman:
If Nupe are 50% of the population in Kwara, what about the Yorubas?

Yoruba is at least 76% of Kwara population

I said kwara north.

majole:
You still don't get it. For your information am from Kanam and there are no indigenous Fulanis there but boggom are the plurality. Kanam is dominated by Muslims and believe me Fulanis are not up to 5% of Kanam. Which Ngas in 4 LGAs? Tarok only 2 where they are 100% but Wase is 30% Tarok at the least. There are Taroks in Kanam, Mikang, Wase, Kanke plus Langtang North & South. Meeting 5 Fulanis in Pategi, Ilorin doesn't bring them close to top 10 largest tribes in the NC & its surroundings. My top 10 largest tribes in the NC & its environs are thus in no order:
1. Tiv 2. Yoruboid 3. Igala 4. Nupe 5. Hausa/Fulani - Kindly note that Fulanis would make only 10% of the stock Hausa/Fulani.
6. Gwari 7. Berom 8. Jukun 9. Idoma 10. Ebira mentions: Tarok

I like the issues you raised,you anchored them well with sufficient points making the Taroks to deserve a notable mentions.even HAUSAS alone in NC outnumber yorubas.Nupe and GWARI outnumber igalas who are only in kogi east.jukun are predominantly in NE like kanuri

ImmaculateJOE:
Indigenous Igbos in Kogi and Benue will pass 500k, so they should be among your notable mentions..

Hmmm.which lgas do they dominate

slivertongue:
Hausa, fulani and Kanuri appeared in error but there are pockets of Kanuri and fulani in the North Central and but shouldn't be included because they predominantly belong to another geopolitical zone

Tivs are the most numerous followed by HAUSAS except you are adding settler HAUSAS from nw ne.you have to add yorubas because they are indigenous to kwara and kogi,nothing like being more southern.it is puerile and can't fly

paramakina202:
There are indigeous Igbo Communities in Kogi and Benue States they are more than a million.

Dah

slivertongue:
Hausas, Tiv, Fulani, Kanuri, Gwari/gbagi, Igala, Idoma, Berom, Jarawa/ Gera/jar.

I left out Yoruba cos they are more southern than Northern

Kanuris are not native to north central na.where gerawa dey

Armaggedon:
so how exactly do you want to be taken seriously when you don't even know what an emir means.

There are emirs in Kuwait and Qatar.

Take this advice from me. Take time off and do some studies, travel and improve yourself by learning instead of senseless threads and provoking people to call you names.

That's for emirs outside Nigeria.in Nigeria context,emir is a fulani.Igbos are not indigenous to NC except for few villages in benue while fulanis are

LifeofDream:
I disagree with your list.. There's no way Yoruba won't be the largest or second largest ethnic in North Central..

Apart from TIV (which is debatable), no tribe can match Yoruba population in North Central..

Yorubas are mainly in kwara and parts of kogi west but HAUSAS are in Niger,nasarawa,plateau,kwara etc

majole:
GARFIELD1 abi wetin bi that your name, you are a knowledgeable person but don't be authoritative in something you are not sure of. Fulani where is their home in NC? Mention any LGA where you can find 100k of Fulanis in NC. Where are they Beroms and Igalas? I believe there are more Beroms/Igalas than Gwari/Fulanis. In your mentions, you mentioned Ngas/Angas before Tarok. Where are they Jukuns who are the Plurality in Taraba and there are over 50k of them in each of Plateau, Benue and Nasarawa? How do you even distinguish between Hausas and Fulanis? Getting a rough estimate of Fulanis is difficult then maybe just use Hausa/Fulanis and say Fulanis are 10% of that.

I have modified my post.fulanis dominate wase and kanam lgas of plateau and each lga is over 200k in population.them and Hausa dominate Jos north lga.fulsnis are also in lafia,keffi,nasarawa,Toto lgas of nasarawa,ilorin,pategi in kwara and many parts of Niger state...
Beroms dominate plateau north zone 80% and have about 6 lgas.taroks are in 2 lgas,ngas in four.
Igalas dominate 8 out of 9 lgas in kogi east zone

Armaggedon:
define an emir?

An emir is a Muslim ruler of an emirate who is of Fulani origin

BeninRefugees:
There are igbos in Benue

Are there up to 500k

demmie1:
So there is no Yoruba in Kwara again? Who does 12 out of the 16 local govt of kwara belongs to? or is kwara less than 2million in population? Okun people are not Yoruba, Oworo people are not Yoruba yet their Obas get their crowns directly from Ife?

Most of you will just come online and post wrongly informed, half intelligent post online

My bad.let me correct it

Armaggedon:
You counted Fulanis in Jos, what stops you from recognising Igbos in North Central, since you are not talking about the indigenous population?

They have stayed there for over hundred years so they are more or less indigenous.at least they are indigenous to the north central

1) TIVS: they are the most populous in the north central dominating 75% of Benue,numbering over 200,000 in Taraba,over 100,000 in nasarawa.they are also the 7 largest in Nigeria behind Hausa,Yoruba,Igbo,Fulani,ijaw,kanuri.they number about 5 million

2) HAUSAS: they dominate zone C of Niger state,have a good number in nasarawa,northern kwara,plateau.they number about 3 million in the north central.

3) NUPE: they make up 40% of Niger state and 50% of kwara north.they are also present in small numbers in kogi and nasarawa.they number about 2.5 million.

4) GBAGYi/GWARI: they dominate zone B of Niger state,have a good number in kaduna south and make up 60% of FCT indigenous population.they number about 2 million.

5)YORUBA; they dominate kwara,have a good number in kogi west.they number about 2 million.

6) FULANI:they are prominent in Jos north,wase,kanam,Jos east of plateau,nasarawa,kwara, niger.they number about 1.4 million.

7) IGALA: they are mostly in kogi and dominate kogi east zone numbering about 1.3 million.

Notable mentions are the Idomas who number 1.1 mil,Beroms 900k, Ebiras800k,Angas 500k
