They suffer there because they prefer to support the northerners that are entirely different and far from them than the Eastersner.
Currently they are laying pipes from Rivers to North later some fools will come out to shout Ijaw Republic and Niger Delta... Daylight rubbery...
One love..

It's funny you think the best way to propagate the Ijaw struggle is to be pressing your Tecno phone from one backwater Ekeremor village while daily posting seditious comments on Nairaland until the government decides to have some of your time (the internet is not anonymous) then you look for people to trend hashtags and demand your freedom but nobody even send you for your polo. Nothing concern me sha

Solkem:
yes that is where I work the sea port is functioning well

Kurutinto:
If that baby amateur self acclaimed freedom fighter you call Ditari do not stop clowning around, he will be paraded naked in the creeks of ijo

Malawian:
So we are going to Ignore the O.P sneaking in Ijaw into the okirika heritage? Oputa Ibeya mean wetin for Ijaw? Even before we look at his dressing.

Okirika is Igbo and Igbo is Okirika.

Ijaw are boat dwelling pyrates and nothing more.

I had told you several times to stop displaying your stupidity around me, no one is asking for your friendships, I personally sponsored the campaign for the Ijaw Republic, and I'm pushing for Igbo provinces a defector Igbo Republic, and if you read the post very well, I clearly stated that the Igbo nation shall do away with the Eastern Nomenclature.

What is hard for you to understand, you can be your Ijaw Republic or Ijaw Kingdom of Nigeria however the Igbo nation have some gray areas with the Ijaws in Bonny and Opobo which could either go peacefully or go the way of Russia and Ukraine, aside that the Igbo nation have no business with the Ijaws whatsover, if you have any intentions working with us, you open a case for a treaty or something of that sort, I won't be wasting my time on you Ditari or whatever you call yourself if you chose to remain stupid

YENAGOA – Gunmen have abducted a former Bayelsa State Commissioner for Special Duties in charge of Federal Projects in the state, Mike Ogiasa.

Sources said that Ogiasa, who is a cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan, was kidnapped at Otuogidi in the Ogbia Local Government Area of the state on Thursday, June 2.

The bandits, about eight in number, were said to have whisked him away at gunpoint.

Ogiasa, who also served as Special Adviser on Power to the State Government, was said to have finished attending a meeting before his assailants swooped on him.

It was gathered that his abductors were yet to establish contact with any member of his family since the incident occurred.

No group had also claimed responsibility for the kidnap of Ogiasa, who is the son of a former traditional ruler of Otuoke community.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Bayelsa State Command, SP Asinim Butswat, confirmed the abduction of the former commissioner.

He also said that a combined investigative effort involving security agencies had been launched with a view to rescuing Ogiasa and arrest the culprits.

@ GeneralDitari, you tried, but the list is partly correct, while some info are outright inaccurate. That list was constructed in a lazy with politico-cultural undertones without considering factors like: geographical spread and dialects Traveling around the country or simply picking up a book or gleaning into authoritative websites should confirm that.

@ Numbers 2 & 3 are correct, but numbers 1,4,5,6,7 & 8 are highly exaggerated. The list seem to be confusing Northern Minority tribes with native Hausas just because they have adopted the language as their Lingua Franca. The Nupe, Gwari, Ebira and Igala tribes hold a really significant figure In Nigeria's population. Old history books and contemporary researched works confirm that.

At Best Native Hausas can't be more than 20% of Nigeria's population at most. If we are to consider only the real natives, I dare postulate that the Yorubas and Igbos have a larger population than the Hausas in Nigeria especially if we are to add their dialects.

The percentage given to the Ijaws and the Tivs are the most exaggerated. We obviously do not have 20million in Ijaws in Nigeria.

The figure of the former (the Ijaws) was politically propped up courtesy of the Goodluck Jonathan factor. It'll be very hard to see such figures in books and scholarly articles. The only explanation is if Ijaws were grouped with the Urohbos, Kalabaris, Okrika and other South Southern minorities.

As for the Tivs, their figure is only believable if they were combined with the Idoma, Igede and the Etulo tribes to get that %.

That Wikipedia article on this needs to be updated.

The list should probably go like this:


1 Hausa 20%
2 Yoruba 20%
3 Igbo 20%
4 Kanuri 4.0%
5 Fulani 3.5%
6 Ibibio 2.5%
7 Gwari 2.5%
8 Nupe 2.0%
9 Tiv 2.0%
10 Efik 1.5%
11 Ebira 1.5%
12 Igala 1.5%
13 Ijaw 1.5%
13 Jukun 1.0%
14. Annang 1.0
14 Idoma 1.0%
15 Edo 1.0%
16 Urhobo 1.0%
17 Ikwerre 1.0%
18 Other Groups 11.5%

The above list might not be 100% accurate but it's still much more accurate than the one you pasted.

I started hearing of Ijaw after Good luck Jonathan's emergence..

Don't worry give me time, I will get Ijaw population during 1960's census... Even Ibibio, Tub and the rest are larger than You people...

How you guys jumped from bottom to top five ethinic group in Nigeria remains a mystery to many..

Since I was born I have met only one Ijaw person in my life and that was in Edo state years back.. I have never met any other one till now ...

Stop deceiving yourself... Your argument doesn't worth it
