I Think The Igbos Are The Largest Ethnic Group In Nigeria by FreedomfromtheT: 8:36am On Jan 03 |
The Hausas are thought to be the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Considering the fact that all Hausa speaking northerners are wrongly classified as Hausas, this belief may be wrong. Apart from Kanuris and Fulanis, there are lots of northern minority groups who are not Hausa but communicate in Hausa all the same. The Igbos on the other hand, are not only the majority in the Southeast but also in the Southsouth. The Igbos are also the second largest ethnic group in the Southwest and the North central regions. Apart from that, the Igbos are also the second largest ethnic group in the Northeast and Northwest apart from the indigines. The Yorubas however, are only majority in the Southwest. Like MTN, it is Igbos everywhere you go. If you think I am wrong, counter my assertion with facts and not Igbophobia propaganda. God bless you. God bless Nigeria. 58 Likes 7 Shares |

Let's do more of: 1. Achievements 2. Mutual tolerance than always dwelling on tribal chauvinism. This can only create disaffection, drain our energies, and even cause war in the long run, thereby drawing back the hand of progress. Even if the least populated tribe can throw up the biggest achievements in Nigeria, they will be more important than the most populated tribes without achievements. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Igbos are heavy majority in South East, majority in South South There are also the second majority anywhere in Nigeria (outside SE/SS), just after the indigenous communities Let's not forget that south east is the most dense populated region in the country! (With Anambra being the most dense populated state after Lagos) 13 Likes |

LoveLeadsLand: Before APC happened the competition between igbos and Yoruba has always been a healthy one, The both have different view of things, in every Lagos state election the APC tags the opposition parties as Igbo, right from the days of PDP telling them to go home! (Thinking all Igbos are in South West Forgeting the fact that south east is the most dense populated region in the country, Moreover south east population is bigger than that of South West (if you exclude Lagos) you can Google it and check yourself! Some Yoruba don't even know that, if you check the list of 22 top richest men in Nigeria, 11 of them are igbos! And majority of them aren't based in South West (carefully do your research) It's just the politicians pushing the narratives of hate against both ethnic groups! 9 Likes |
