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)
Hmmmmmmm!

south south majority ibo....
very funny....

The largest ethnic groups in South South are igbos
Even a toddler knows this, (excluding the ikwerres, who Igboness is a subject of debate by themselves)
Asaba, ndoki, ASA, etche e.t.c are proud of their Igboness check all there Facebook pages and groups, Anioma alone covers all delta north! In rivers state excluding the ikwerres, which occupies only 4 l.g.A the rest Igbo speaking part are actually larger than them in population
Now back to pH (which is largely ikwerre land)
If you grew up in pH, you will automatically learn Igbo, even if you are from the ijaw, ogoni part of rivers state! Check out nasboi, the popular Yoruba comedian infact you would almost think! He is Igbo, he speaks the language like so well.. just because he grew up in pH!
Almost all rivers state celebrities that grew up in pH, nah igbos them the use from Duncan mighty,omah lay,sabinus, mercy chinwo,Guc infact even the ijaw ones like Danny tizzy, preye odede (they guy that sang the popular Igbo song, ebezinna, osimiatat) e.t.c
All speak Igbo fluently and part take in Igbo movies just because the grew up in port Harcourt!

That is their own cup of tea.
For the sake of knowledge, matters of ethnicity and tribe can be intellectually discussed without hate.
Those who are wedded to ethnocentrism and ethnic bigotry can continue.

Ibos are roughly 40 million spanning NC , SE , SS

Yoruba are over 50 million spanning Nigeria , Togo, Benin , Brazil and Jamaica


They are talking about Nigeria this one dey talk outside the box.

U get sense at all?

It is very pitiful to carry ur insensitivity to a new year.

Accept the fact and still remain where you want to be and Urhobo by ethnicity if actually you are Urhobo.

Who is playing divide and rule game among the Southsouth people?

FreedomfromtheT:
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.

The Urhobo's are majority in Delta, the Binis are majority in Edo. Akwa ibom, Cross Rivers are Ibibio. Bayelsa is Ijaw. Stop this your stupid sentiments. Igbos are not majority in the South South.

Kano state is made up of Hausas, Fulanis and other ethnic groups with a high population of Igbos.
Igbos are not limited to those living in 5 Southeastern states.
Infact Igbos residing outside the Southeast should be far more than those residing within.

Good job.
You picked the majority tribes in each state of the Southsouth.
We are discussing the majority tribe in Nigeria and in the Southsouth as well.
Now add up the population of Igbos in each state of the Southsouth.
Which tribe is now the majority in the Southsouth?
