Ngwas occupy the following LGAs in Abia state:
Aba North
Aba South
Obingwa
Osisioma Ngwa
Ugwunagbo
Isialangwa North
Isialangwa South.

I don't know if they are the largest Igbo clan. Census data will proof this.

You guys make some mistakes, those LGAs are just land occupied by mostly foreigners which you can't count as Ngwa population, do you know how many non natives in aba? Just like me saying ikwerre are the most populous in ph when is a city with different people, think

caleboxylic:
Ikwerre are Benin slaves and not Igbo in any way please.

I will give it to Ezza people in Ebonyi, benue and crossriver states and Ezike-Orba in Enugu, benue and kogi states. Nkanu in Enugu is big too if we included their ohaozara brothers in Ebonyi state( Onicha and ohaozara LG arears) .

You're correct Ezzas plenty oh

What is wrong with you? Is there any homogeneous city or even village in any part of the world? Are there not Ngwa people all over the world? Did you not read where I said that census will determine the actual number of Ngwas for one to conclude whether they are in the majority or not?

Aba is Aba Ngwa. This is why people insult some of you Igbos who do not respect ethnic boundaries. Onitsha if for Anambrarians. PH is for the Ikwerres.

Let him come and claim Aba na ...since Aba does not belong to Ngwa people....greedy souls.

Come to Aba and yarn this rubb*sh na...greedy soul.

The largest Igbo clan is Isu by virtue of how Igbos were traditionally arranged. Afikpo is Isu as well as Ohaozara, Isuikwuato and all the Isus including Igbuzor in Delta State. Isu is more than half of Igboland. Ngwa is the largest in present day political arrangement having more than 7 local governments and Mbaise is an artificial formation created in 1943 by colonial masters

If you like switch 100 monikers I don tell u, Aba belongs to all igbos hence why is used as a battle ground for biafra

Really so mbaise is just like how someone from obollo afor or uzo-uwani will say he's from Nsukka whereas we know is not true

Exactly. It is a division created for administrative convenience by colonial masters. The Ezinihitte part is same stock as Ngwa. Then Mbaise was under Owerri province with Port Harcourt as headquarters

Very insightful , then whats the reason for all these divisions along state lines when those states are more than artificial

the only lga dominated by foreigners is the Aba lga's. every other lga is NGWA dominated. mind you, there are hundreds of thousands of native Aba Ngwa peeps around.


Osisioma and obingwa are the largest voting zone in Abia state with close to or over 500,000 registered voters. Considering the voter apathy in the SE, that should tell you something of the Ngwa population

kollinzgee:
Looks like ngwa may be the largest Igbo clan in the Southeast followed by ikwerre in the southsouth,i will use the number of local governments they have plus population size as evidence,for example ngwa has about 4 local governments in Abia they have obi ngwa,isiala ngwa ,osisioma ngwa plus Aba they number roughly 2million and ikwerre have ikwerre ,emuoha,obio akpor and portharcourt LGAs all together ikwerres are the largest igbo clan in the south south with a population of over 1 million
I doubt if they is any single Igbo clan this big .

Op you're wrong on the number of local government the ngwa occupies, it's the largest Igbo clan in Igbo land not just south east. Ngwa occupies seven LGAs namely; Aba North, Aba South, Obingwa, Isisalangwa South, Isialangwa North, Ugwunagbo, Osisioma.

Liebermantic:
Aro is the largest Igbo clan because there are so many Aro Communities among Ngwa, Ikwerre and every LGA in Igbo land

Aro of yesterday?

mrvitalis:
Nsukka is the largest Igbo clan ..we have abakalaki clan ,afikpo clan , mbaise clan ,owerri clan , the orlu family , oga ikwerre won't even see top 10

Top 50, them no see. I noticed something about our fellow Ndigbo here. When they compare sizes they forget to look into Anambra for reasons best known to them.
I doubt if there is a single town in Igboland bigger than Okija in land mass and population or any clan that outnumber the four brothers (Okija, Ihembosi, Ihiala and Uli). Okija alone have 31 villages in it

kollinzgee:
guy forget tribal sentiment in naija my female friend mercy is ikwerre whenever she comes visiting we always speak Igbo with my sister's ikwerres feel at home more with igbos than with even their fellow rivers ( fake ) brothers you see that is the reason they can sell their entire land to igbos I'm Rivers state without complain,don't let Nairaland propaganda decieve you truth is light.

Lies. For the facts that she speaks Igbo doesn't make her Igbo. Go to any Ikwere village and call any of them IGBO. If you come back alive, call me bascard. No one hate Igbos and hate to be associated with Igbos like Ikwere do.

Well I'm ikwerre and I am igbo

nope. It doesn't work that way. You don't just wake up and decide you're Igbo or not. We haven't forgotten about the Biafran genocide or Obigbo.

Some large Igbo clans that occupy atleast a local government.
Ngwa have 7 lga, Izzi have 3 lga (Izzi, Abakaliki and Ebonyi lg) Ezza have 2 Ezza N/S( Some large pop of Ezza are found in Ohaukwu, Onicha and in Ishielu LGs of Ebonyi and in Addo lg of Benue, Ikwo hv 1, Arochukwu have 1 +Aro Ndizuogu, Nsukka have 1, Mbaise have..., Nkanu hv 2 Nkanu E/W, Afikpo (Ehugbo) hv 2 Afikpo n/s.

Owerri hv 4

I will give it to Ezza people in Ebonyi, benue and crossriver states and Ezike-Orba in Enugu, benue and kogi states. Nkanu in Enugu is big too if we included their ohaozara brothers in Ebonyi state( Onicha and ohaozara LG arears) .

You sabi book.
Ezzas are in Ezza South LGA of Ebonyi state, Ezza North,1/3 of Ishielu LGA,2/5 of Ohaukwu LGA,1/5 of Onicha LGA all in Ebonyi state.
At around Caritas University of Enugu East LGA and around Idodo in Enugu.

Ukwa East is Ndokiland while Ukwa West is Asaland.
The rest on your list is Ngwaland.
And yes! Ngwa is the largest single IGBO clan.

A Comparative Study of Palatal Rugae Patterns among Igbo and Ikwerre Ethnic Groups of Nigeria: A University of Port Harcourt Study

Background. Palatal rugae pattern of an individual is species specific and is said to be as unique as finger print.

Aims and Objectives. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the rugae pattern of Igbo and Ikwerre populations in Nigeria for human identification purposes.

Materials and Methods. The present study was conducted from random sampling of University of Port Harcourt students. A total number of 140 subjects (70 Igbos and 70 Ikwerres) of age bracket of 18–30 were used.

Results. The different shapes of rugae were obviously observed with varying degrees of predominance among the two tribes. The most predominant patterns are wavy and curvy followed by straight. The Igbos were predominantly wavy while the Ikwerres were predominantly of curve and straight patterns. The Igbo males and females had more wavy pattern with percentage values of 51.6% and 59.9% which is significantly higher in proportion () as compared to the Ikwerre males and females with percentage values of 35.6% and 40.6%. On the other hand, Ikwerre males and females proved to be curve dominant with percentage values of 45.2% and 34.4% and this showed significant difference in proportion () as compared to the Igbo males and females with percentage curve values of 27.9% and 26.1%.

Conclusion. The result obtained from this study is clear evidence of ethnic differences in relation to sex; hence the incidence of predominance is population dependent.

Na their Igbo brothers did the research oooo. And found out that there is no connection between the Igbos and Ikwerres. Still they won't rest.

You should concentrate on ika land (occupied Igbo land) and eradicate the igboness in them. Your forefathers failed on that and you slaves should spit on their graves for abandoning their master's language when naming their children and villages.

When Igbo nation emerges,we will repatriate all you Bennin slaves back to Bennin. You people are slaves occupying Igbo land and will be sent back to your masters when the hour comes.

I'm sure you will name your son an Igbo name and won't be ashamed to do that. You slaves should stop answering Igbo name.
Slaves everywhere.

Your father tried to do this before the civil war but failed with devastating consequences but never cost his life. I don't think you would want to attempt or contemplate that.

You said my father . They never did .
Let Nigeria splits first and we will recover all Igbo land and send all slaves back to Benin.
Are you one of the Benin slaves that their forefathers built the great Benin wall?
