Lordave:
But someone, who after seeing Ezepromoe and others say they are Igbos but continue telling them they're not Igbos has both logic and common sense?

StunningCEO:
That you speak English....bear English names and go to church on Sundays....does not make you English.....

EastanPower:
I copied it the way it was written on the news site.

I have corrected it now.

Thank you.

Eastlink:
Sorry my man, I just wanted to pass a message across to him.

AlfaSeltzer:
Gullible people
Can't you see this is photoshopped?
Simple physics can tell you this is impossible
No wonder an illiterate is leading you

hammariise:
By seeing such things my hope for change and better Nigeria fades away

MendeZ:
Did u click the link that was posted there? The ijaws are over 10million which makes them the 4th largest. Check the second link to confirm

Pidggin:
SW agenda

Eastlink:
Protection Seeker, thought you started this battle in your frenzy to deny the existence of anything Igbo in Rivers. Despite the warnings you kept marching on to the admiration of your new found friends. Now you been given a full dose of your medication, this time not by the Igbos, nor by the Ibibios, nor Itshekiris but by a Tiv (Kyase). Hope you don't intend chickening out, because I would be very dissapointed.
You must finish the dance you started, let's see where it takes us to.

Ecoterrorist:
He is a Senator from those constituencies and he is better placed than Lie Mohammed to give report about there

Ibolt4m:
;DD we are winning d war

sunnyb0b0:
Lalasticlala, you see how Lai spreads lies.

OfoIgbo:
Igbos are the vast majority in Opobo and Bonny.

However I think the choice of 4th largest ethnic group is between the Efik-Ibibio-Annang group and the Ijoid group

Samiceman:
Nah.... inside bathroom, with shower sef

Samiceman:
If Chelsea win make i bath unclad!!!

vorigan:
And which ones took place when you were born that outlined ethnic composition like those ones?

Don't argue for arguing sake, argue to learn. Past census give you a projection of what the future holds

vorigan:
factually speaking, neither the Tivs (munchi) or the Ijaws (izon) are the fourth largest,............the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria is the Fulani (Fulfulde), followed by the Kanuri (beri-beri), then the Ibibio, and then the Tiv...........the Ijaws come behind the Tivs..............infact, the Ijaws have always come behind the Tivs in all early census..................Ijaws became the fourth largest ethnic group over night when Ebere became president.
