Someone here is claiming that Ijaw is majority in Rivers and Delta, how funny you can be.
How do you convince any sane person that Ijaw is majority in this Delta talk more of Rivers?
An Andoni man will chop pff your head the day you address him as an Ijaw man talk more of Ogoni? I even saw where Bonny is included as an Ijaw populated local government.

There are three ethnic groups in Bayelsa, namely;
Ijaw
Epie
Akassa
Even an Ogbia man will not accept the Ijaw tag, I don't know where you guys get the idea of Bayelsa being a homogeneous Ijaw state.

You omitted Urhobo who are also indigenes of Bayelsa State. Infact, the present Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpor is an Urhobo man from Ofoni town in Sagbama LGA of Bayelsa State.

Exactly, many of these guys have never been to Bayelsa but they are busy dishing out unverifiable statistics to the public.

Kirigidi:
You have no fact to back up your bogus claims and you are embarrassed that someone here has exposed your lies.

you break nothing down here... you only confusing yourself out of pain.....i gave omoluwabi1 5 LGAs of Ijaw and he calculated only the 5 lgs...so why crying?

besids tell me which tribe is delta ibo?

Captain8:
dont talk ignorants talk here..... only a children may not understand ogbia dialect...... go to Ijaw clinic language in facebook and get well.... i understand ogbia that is farther from me.... matured people from ogbia also understand my egbema dialect...

I hope you understand Epie too? They own Yenagoe.
Stop stressing yourself, it's not worth it.
We know Nigeria population was inflated, but there's no way Ijaw Population can be up to 5m, deep down you, you know the truth.

some one said more this but after we gather here and calculated it, he left without dragging.... if you sure of yourself then calculate it..... but dont say so so person is not Ijaw...because the people didnt reject Ijaw...
i cant understand even come in epie... calculate the Ijaw population yourself

Ebitimi44:

Who are "we", please speak for yourself, if you are not Ijaw, you are not Ijaw, but the Ijaws are a majority in Delta state, you just can't change that fact

How many local government are occupied by ijaw in Delta state?

What kind of arrogant are u?
How can u say ijaw a rivery village is more than cities and town in the Delta central,
Are u OK, u well so?
Ijaw only have two local council share along with isoko and itsekiri,

Captain8:
dont talk ignorants talk here..... only a children may not understand ogbia dialect...... go to Ijaw clinic language in facebook and get well.... i understand ogbia that is farther from me.... matured people from ogbia also understand my egbema dialect...

You are a bloody liar.
No Izon man can understand Ogbia language.
Stop with the cheap lies.

Captain8:
but we all speak the Ijaw language

Speak fire.

OfoIgbo:


Aniomas have 9 LGAS. Urhobos have 8 LGAS.

Itsekiris, Isokos, Urhobos and Ijaws share the remaining 8 LGAS.

Isoko 2.. Isoko north and south
Ijo 3... Patani, Bomadi and Burutu
Ṣekiri, +Usobo & Ijo 3... Warri North, South and West

Ariani:


Speak fire.

called me your ogbia friend i want to speak to him with my egbema dialect.... we may not understand each other 100% but as far as Ijaw language is concerned we will understand each other 80%.... because i have discus with far far far kalabari man.... if i could understand 50% of kalabari...then the rest are chicken

Captain8:
why dont you used simple google to get out of your ignorant status? stop doing like cownu brainwashed people...

hahahahahaa. A fake figure inputed during Jonathan’s time? Don’t worry. Don’t forget that your Egbesu juju no dey work for land ooooo. Try and annex any of our territories and what Itsekiris did to y’all will be child’s play.

Ariani:


You are a bloody liar.
No Izon man can understand Ogbia language.
Stop with the cheap lies.

can you now go to Ijaw language clinic facebook..?

cheruv:

Isoko 2.. Isoko north and south
Ijo 3... Patani, Bomadi and Burutu
Ṣekiri, +Usobo & Ijo 3... Warri North, South and West

Also bear in mind that Patani and Bomadi are by far, the least populated LGAS in Delta state. Both of them can be combined and yet their population will be less than a lot of LGAS in Anioma or Urhobo areas.

So Ijaw population in Delta state is outrageously overestimated

Captain8:
can you now go to Ijaw language clinic facebook..?

Why do I have to go to anywhere?
Ogbia language wordlist is online.There are studies on Central Delta languages including Ogba language online too.

Ebitimi44:

Ijaws are over 3 million in Bayelsa, Over 2 million In Delta, over 2 million in Rivers, over 1 million in Ondo, over 1 million in Edo, over 1 million in Lagos, and more

All this figures are not correct, and average Ijaw has minimum of 6 to 8 kids, the Ijaws are more than what is being projected at the moment, sex to them is like an appetizers

RobbStark:


What's the meaning of Ama in ibo land.
They are okrikans and the Ibo they speak is as a result of Ibo women they married. There is nothing like Ibo in them. Call them Ibo and you might be stoned

I grew in Fimie, those people are Okrika people, how can anybody call them Igbo

The fulani tribe of the southern nigeria are the south East... Fulani dont have sea as well as the ibo-similarity.
The igbo and fulani are landlocked...
The igbo and fulani like migrating to other people places...
The fulani can kill because of cow, the igbo can kill for money.

bro Fulani and your tribe ijaw are the same.

velocity25:

We have sea, we have oil... we dont claim other people places like the ibos... we out us Nigeria will cease to exist...

These ipob miscreants matter tire me aswear.
Really don't know what the Ijaws did to them.

Every of their thread na Ijaw matter

htdot:

can anybody own Sea? what is the name of the Sea? Igbos don't claim other people's place, Igbos buys land/properties from people, not only in Nigeria even in foreign countries,oil is nothing when there's no brain, that's explain why majority of Africans are poor.

Nairaland have been taken over by trolls and jokers.

I don't even know the correlation between my comment and Biafra, whichever; i know Bayelsa more than you do, likewise Delta and Rivers.

I have worked in all local government in Bayelsa and 70% of Delta(100% of Ijaw speaking local governments)

Akassa is not Ijaw, i worked in Sangana platform for 2yrs before moving to Nembe where i worked for a year, likewise Twon Brass and other part of Brass local government including the exploration of Buama point.

I don't even have to engage you on this, but you know there's broad difference between Epie, Ijaw and Akassa; and it's not debatable.

You have still not answered the question, what does Akassa speak and another thing are you fluent in any of these languages you just mentioned

Trash! Ijaws in ondo state can't be up to 400k sef. Pata pata 350k

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 Tribe or Ethnic group, they don't share language or culture, they are very different and distinct fishermen that migrated to Niger Delta

Ijaw is not a tribe or an ethnic group

Arewa is not a tribe or an ethnic group

Niger Delta is not a tribe or an Ethnic group

There is absolutely nothing called middle belt or North Central in Geography

Nothing like "Hausa/Fulanis" as a tribe or ethnicity




.

What sort of ignorant comment is this? I'm shock you got 11 likes. How can you be comparing ijaws with Niger Delta and Middle belt Dam!
