FreedomfromtheT: You're wrong,so wrong ! I won't even argue much with you but will present a very simple analogy that may help your reasonability. The Yoruba are the single largest ethnic group in Nigeria,no doubt about it. The Hausa/Fulani don't even come any close not to talk of Igbo. Let's look at it this way : *Anambra = 4,844 square kilometers *Imo. = 5,530 square kilometers Abia. = 6,320 square kilometers Enugu. = 7,161 square kilometers Ebonyi. = 5,670 square kilometers Total = 29,525 square kilometers Oyo State = 28,454 square kilometers Now,if Oyo state alone is almost the size of your entire land - the 5 South East States and when it is an established fact that Yoruba people rarely live in villages,they live in large urban towns and cities,unlike you igbos,how on earth will anyone think Igbo come any close to Yoruba in term of population ? If you take a Bus from Ojota (Lagos) down to Oba Adeshida market road in Akure,do you know how many large Yoruba towns and cities you'll pass through before you get to your destination ?! Trust me, you Igbo will only be deceiving yourselves if you ever think you have more people in the North than the Yoruba ! It is not possible,there are millions of Yoruba in the North apart from the fact that Yoruba people are indigenous to three North Central states - Kwara,Kogi and Niger States. The truth is that it's not every Umar or Suleiman you meet in Kano or Kaduna that's Hausa or Fulani,a lot of them are actually Yoruba -na the real fact be that,go figure out ! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigercity: Igbos are too many in South East that you can go one full day without seeing a non-igbo person. Lets say about 95-98 percent of the population. 1 Like |

Nigercity: Efik/Ibibio are the largest in South South. The Ijaws should follow. I once debated the Ijaw strength, but I think they have the numbers (Although concentrated in a given location). Also the population of South West is diverse and you can't easily pinpoint the second largest group outside Yoruba. Igbos tail Yoruba in Lagos, but not other states. In Ondo, the Urhobos are far more in numbers outside the aboriginals. In Ogun they have a threatening Igalla population and some other minorities from the North central that are into farming. There's a lot about Nigerian ethnicities and their migratory movements. In Delta state (Warri axis) The Esans/Afemai/Bini tails the aboriginals when it comes to population strength i.e, these Edoid groups move more in their numbers to Warri than they do to Akure or Onitsha. In Aba, you have a strong Ibibio population, and sincerely, they should be the second largest group in Abia. In all, you can find a group of people in their numbers in State A, but not necessarily in State B. Also, no ethnic group in the present day South South outnumbers the Efik/Ibibio. Not the Edoids, not the Igboids and definitely not the Ijoids. |

[quote author=Nigercity post=127761359][/quote]indeginous igbos in SS/NC? You no count am Plus the south east, is the most dense populated region in Nigeria Don't you know that? After Lagos Anambra is the 2nd most dense and urbanized state in Nigeria As for north Every one knows igbos are more populated than Yorubas in the north! Everyone does not know anything, that only occurs in the figment of your own imagination! Which South East "is the most dense (densely )populated region in Nigeria" ? Is that from the bureau of Ipob statistics or something ? The Nightbuses keep bringing you in droves from your villages,your land is almost a ghost land, yet you're here contesting population with the indigenous people of your host communities across Nigeria ! Shior,why do you guys from that side like senseless dick measuring contest like your lives depend on it ! 3 Likes |

OROSUNBOLB:What has landmass got to do with the discussion. Russia is larger than China, India and US combined, whatbhas that got to do with China having over 10x the population of Russia? Does Lagos having the least land mass in Nigeria discount the fact that it's the most populated? You should be talking of census figures not landmass It's given that in any state in the country, after the indigenes, the next most populated people are the Igbos. If you doubt it, any any state in Nigeria and mention who are the next in population after the indigenes |

Haaaaah! The British knew it. The federal government also knows it, that's why there's a robust policy to deny it, and say otherwise. Why do you think that the census will not let you indicate your tribe 1 Like |

PHIPEX: Yes, that landmass nonsense is only used to divert attention in Nigeria. Where else is empty land mass used as an indicator of population? Montana has 20x more landmass than say Rhode Island, yet it's much less populated. Utah has more landmass than Georgia, but has less than half of the population and representation in Congress. In Nigeria, landmass is used for revenue sharing, number of political offices---an anomaly. 1 Like |

PHIPEX: Will you stop just being noisy if you can't support your claims with verifiable evidences(s) ! What kind of dumb question is that you're asking - "who are the next in population after the indigenes",shior ! Shameless,there is nothing you insecure Igbo will not measure you tiny dick with, it's really pitiable ! The fact that you're all over the highways hawking gala and constituting nuisance everywhere you go does not mean there are more Igbo in Lagos than the Hausa or even the Ijaws! You fools shamelessly left substance to focus on the irrelevance. Instead of you lots to find a solution to those demons that are chasing you away in droves from your native land, you're stupidly contesting population with your host communities across Nigeria. We all know that it is the inferiority complex that's acting up within you guys again and that's when you'll begin to come up with all sort of senseless dick-measuring threads! If you had an iota of brain in your oblong head,you would have understood my Oyo state analogy there. I can't help you if you can't get it ! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

A childish tantrum will not suddenly make you appear reasonable and smart. Address the issue on the ground or wait for children's play time. 5 Likes |
