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.

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 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 !

Talking about population
And you're talking about landmass,

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!

Nigercity:
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)

tsdarkside:


and you think none igbos care....

oya na vote obi to president yourselves alone....

yeye loudmouthed people south east....

Nigercity:

Let's not be sentimental here!
After south east,
Igbos are still majority in South South ...

This shameless Yoruba boy still claiming South South, do you want me to expose you again like few weeks ago? be proud of your Yorubaness

LifeofDream:

I disagree, Igbo are majority only in the south East...
There are more Yoruba in the north than Igbo...

Even in South West excluding Lagos, Igbo are not second majority in any state...

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 !

Creativity22:

Shatap ! You dirty, self denying ronu bastard

DaTruths:


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.

Efewestern:


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.

Is itbthat education is so poor in Nigeria for a discussion to be on population and someone is talking landmass. Oga did you enter geography class at all? Does it mean Niger state that is larger thanbthe entire SW in landmass is more populated than SW?

PHIPEX:
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?

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

I really can't wrap my head around it when the entire region they referred to as "densely populated" is just about the size of Oyo State.

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 !
