At the bolded the Obolo people/Andoni people are not ijaw, why rope these people into ijaw. These people bear Ibibio Names and speak a language that sounds like a mash up of ibibio and Ikwerre, How did they become ijaw, is it because they are by the coast? Please do a proper history on your tribe, so that you do not appear uninformed!

My man, the IYC is a political Organisation, there are other tribes that are signatories too, like ndoki people, ogoni people, some ngwa clans, are there as well, etc. Being part of this umbrella does not mean the person is Ijaw,

Is this thread talking about the population of all the ethnic groups who are signatories to the IYC or the population of Ijaw (Izon) people? There is a big difference between the two. I think there was an article with the Governor or Bayelsa trying to explain the difference between those two to the public.

I actually love reading comments without commenting until I saw Burutu being the most populated local government area in Delta State. Sorry, the most populated local government area in Delta State is Ughelli North. This link https://www.citypopulation.de/php/nigeria-admin.php?adm1id=NGA010 will take you to the population of each local government in Delta state (by 1991 population census and 2006 population census.)

The last population census in Nigeria which is 2006 population census gave the following figures for each senatorial district in Delta:

1. Delta North (Anioma, which others may call Igbo) to be 1,236,840 (of which there are some Isokos in Ukwanni LGA but should not be more than 10000. So you can deduct 10000 from the figures.

2. Delta Central (Urhobo) to be 1,570,858 (though there are some Itsekiri in Sapele Local Government but shouldn't be more than 10000. So you can deduct 10000 from the figures.

3. Delta South (Ijaw, Isoko, Itsekiri and Urhobo) I will break this one down.

IJAW
Bomadi - 86,016
Burutu - 207,977

IJAW N URHOBO
Patani - 67,391 (Ijaw are far the majority here. Urhobo should be 17000.

IJAW N ITSEKIRI
Warri North - 136,149 (population of both tribes are in competition)
Warri South West - 116,538 (population of both tribes are in competition)

ITSEKIRI N URHOBO
Warri South - 311,970 (The population of both tribes are in competition)

ISOKO
Isoko North - 143,559
Isoko South - 235,147

Total Population of Delta State in 2006 was 4,112,445

NOTE: It is only the Itsekiri that don't have a local government only to themselves (I mean among the popular tribes in Delta). There are unpopular tribes in Delta. I will mention 2. They are Olukumi (Yoruba Subgroup, and Illah (Azanoma) (Igala Subgroup)

Ebitimi44:
Nigerian statistics is obviously questionable but I don't think there is any challenge to the Ijaws on the position as the third largest Ethnicity in Southern Nigeria.

Many people cite not seeing much of Ijaw presence in other cities as a means of arguing that Ijaws are less populated, this assertion however is a complete fallacy as Ijaw is undeniably populous.

I will be backing up my claims with facts and common sense. You will not see Ijaws in major cities becuase of the traditional occupation of the Ijaws which is fishing and in places where we abound it is usually a cluster.

Ijaws are more likely to to be found in coastal areas and as such the Niger Delta interior had always been our native land.

Fact One: Bayelsa state is a predominately Ijaw State is over 2.5 Million while 2006 census puts it at 1.7 million I hope you know that despite the inaccuracy of Nigerian census we also grow.

2. Ijaws constitute the coastal areas of Rivers state which constitutes about 39% of Rivers putting Rivers state at approximately 6 million today that puts Ijaws in Rivers at over 2 million.

3. The Ijaws in Delta State: the population of Delta state shall be running at about another 6 million, let's say the Ijaws Chuns out another 2 million people over there.

This 3 states alone could arguably put Ijaws at about 6.5 million in just 3 states, tell me another tribe in Nigeria apart from Igbo, Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba coming anywhere close to the above verifiable data.

Then add the Ijaws in Edo State, with Ondo, with Lagos, there is no verifiable data in these Areas as these states especially Lagos and Ondo are trying too hard to Yorubanize the Ijaws in these areas.

Should a realistic census be conducted in Nigeria indicating tribes the Ijaws could be well over 17 million.

Why do you think the Ijaws inflate our population, when last did we hold crucial role in the census bureau, Goodluck Jonathan was not the president at 2006 when the last census was held rather it was the Ijaw hating Obasanjo so how could we have manipulated our data, be that as it may, there is also no proof of everyone else's actual population so Ijaws knows exactly how our population is distributed.
Bump.

That post ABOVE is a total fallacy! There are NO indigenous Ijaws in Lagos State. This is how some young and uneducated Ijaw irredentists fabricate FAKE history and population figures while claiming other people's ancestral homelands used as migrant fishing settlements decades later.

The 1891 population census of Lagos (Lagos Island) conducted by the British Colonialists had NO single Ijaws listed. The vast majority of Ijaws living in Lagos are descendants of fishing migrants who migrated after 1914 to modern Lagos State and claim Bayelsa State as their ancestral homeland. Central Ijaw in Bayelsa State is the ancestral roots of all Ijaws who largely descendants of Ghanaian boat people and fishermen who started arriving in the Central Ijaw area a few hundred years back. Other ethnic groups such as Yorubas, Nupes, Hausa, and White folks are listed in that population census of 1891 but no single Ijaw or even Ibos are on the list done by the meticulous British Colonialists.

The Ijaws are migrants from the same Bayelsa area to Ilajeland in Yorubaland whom they settled among in Ondo State and they are NOT originally indigenous to Ondo State. They are just fishing migrants. The Itsekiris, Urhobos, the Edos too are having the same problem of Ijaws claiming the lands of these ethnic groups and they have in a joint press release vowed to resist the creation of a so-called Toru Ebe State from Delta, Edo, and Ondo States. The Ijaws MUST learn to be content with what originally belongs to them and desist from IRRESPONSIBLY creating histories that they NEVER had.
