south east needs alot of mental institutions....because this is realy gettin serious the way they behave and talk....

This your continued outpour of insults and use of foul language in what is supposed to be an intellectual discourse either shows your upbringing or the fact that you have been looking for an opportunity to bring up your Igbophobia.
You can continue.

naijaking1:
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

Hmmmmmmm!

Here is the reason

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 for Igboland = 29,525 square kilometers

Oyo State = 28,454 square kilometers

The person is talking about the ratio of Igbos to non Igbos in the Southeast. Your own concern is landmass.
You should rather have told us the ratio of Yorubas to non Yorubas in Oyo State.

Alexis11:


Most times when you see the Yorubas in the North you will think he's Hausa, especially on Fridays.

It is pure delusion to assume Igbos are the second largest ethnic group in the North.

So according to you, Yorubas only show up in the North on Fridays (for Jumat Service).
So only Yoruba Muslims are in the North and they usually hide their identity.
Perhaps the Yoruba (Muslims) in the North are ashamed to appear like real Yorubas for reasons best known to them!

to be nice to you after you insulted all of us....??

sorry,it doesnt work that way....
the message you loved soo much was delivered by your ipob....
we accept....we dont like you ibos either....carry your load and go away already with your south eastern states....!!

Alexis11:


If it is Igbo that have big land mass una no go let us hear word. You would have used it as a basis.

Meaning that your usage of Oyo State landmass as basis for determining population is mere propaganda.

Alexis11:


I think Federal Government cheated some ethnic groups we consider as minority. Because if that tiny Igbo land can have 5 states, Ijaw, Urhobo, Ibibio deserve better.

You are wrong.
It is population that determines state
creation, not landmass.
Just to let you know, Anioma (Delta North) in Delta State is Igboland.
A large proportion of Rivers State is Igbo speaking.
A part of Kogi State is Igbo speaking.
A part of Cross River State is Igbo speaking.
So Igbos deserve much more than five states.
Thank you.

guy,here is not twitter....

we will tell you in your face what we think about you on nairaland....

FreedomfromtheT:
The Hausas are thought to be the largest ethnic group in Nigeria.
Because 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 the 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.

Seeing Jibo people everywhere is not a good sign of development....in fact, it is a bad sign to the entire Jibo race....come.to think of it..hardly you see US or UK citizens everywhere because they are self-sufficient...but in your own case...your race scattered abroad during Drugs, Olosho, Kidney harvester,(Ekwerremadu) Internet fraudster, baby factory, etc.......

Do you think you are blessed? , you are cursed?

Nigercity:

Igbos in rivers state are not minority by any means

Excluding ikwerres 4 l.G.A
There's a etche, ndoki, ASA, ohaji omuma e.t.c.
They are actually majority in rivers

Your brothers are here bragging about empty landmass, forgetting that Niger state is almost the same landmass with south west

You are getting ahead of yourself..go and call those people Igbo and see how they will respond to you ..

You are just quick to add up any tribe with a remote link to the Igbos and call them Igbos.

Other tribes could also do that to add to their population..Hausa and fulani can come together and call themselves Hausa..that is enough to make them the largest tribe in Nigeria.

Yorubas could add some people from North central and mid western part of Niger delta with yoruba links and call them yorubas, the Nupes, ishekiris, the Benins.

Yes it is true that Niger state is bigger than western Nigerian in land Mass..it is however less dense and less populated than the sw. Just like Oyo state is less populated than all of SE, and also lense dense.

My point is that you cannot claim that a place is more populated just because it has a higher population density you also have to consider the land area..this is High school mathematics and it is expected that you should be able to apply it correctly.

I think ibos built the Pyramid at Giza.

stop waisting you time on that guy, he is Yoruba Muslim. They been extremely thought on how to hate Igbo right from birth.

OROSUNBOLB:


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 !

you people just carry your unproductive land for head. Is population been measure by land mass, Lagos is smallest state in Nigeria and it has highest population.

LifeofDream:

Niger state is not larger than the entire SW, why do you guys like lying??...

Mr Education,why is it difficult for you to construct a simple,correct and acceptable sentence in English language ? It's not as if it is even compulsory that you express whatever crappy gibberish you may want to utter in English language;you can do it in your native Abakaliki's tongue ! Your teachers in whatever mushroom school you attended must be very sad and embarrassed if anyone of them has an opportunity to see the totally incomprehensible gibberish you labored so hard to type up there ! Whatever your father spent on you to educate you is a waste,trust me !

Now,go over the nonsense you typed up there and read through,very slowly,is that what you call education ? Before you begin to act like a Professor of Geography from Havard,I think it is very important for you to start learning basic English language rules and grammatical usage ! You don't need to embarrass your father any further,enough damage is done already, by even making another attempt to respond in English language. You can type in Igbo,I'll use Google translator to do the needful. Your English is awful !

Sincerely,I shouldn't be doing this needless back and forth with an obvious "olodo" like you;it's belittling! Only if you'll take my advice, you need to get your priority right as soon as possible by enrolling in a decent secondary school to retake your English language ! Trust me,you need to do that urgently as a JSS 3 student in a public secondary school anywhere in the South West will do better than you're currently doing ! Enrolling in a good secondary school should be your priority not forming one empty Proffesor of Geography on Nairaland ! Since education or lack of it is your problem,it will only be okay if some clarification is made for you as thus :

Gaza strip (Middle East) has a landmass of 365 square kilometers and about 2 million people. It is regarded as one of the most densely populated area in the world ! Do you know why a mere pouplation of 2 million look like it is in the excess of 20 million people on that land ? Now,use your head : yes,it is because the landmass of Gaza is very small ! The same thing is applicable to you and that was why I cited Oyo state as an example. Oyo state alone is almost equal in size to all the South East States combined - Anambra,Imo,Enugu,Ebonyi and Abia ! That's why a few hundred people on your tiny land seem like a crowld already ! Igbo land is tiny,you don't have space/land !

You won't get a response from me again as I have had enough of mental torturing while trying to make sense of the incomprehensible gibberish you've been bombading me with !

Chinedu,go back to school,my honest advice !

Oga all these things you wrote make no sense, I just wasted my time reading rubbish

FreedomfromtheT:
You ended up not answering the question.
So which tribe is the most populated in the entire Southsouth?

what I'm trying to say is that it's a stupid question. One thing I know for sure is that the Igbos are not a majority in the SS.
The Igbos are not more than the Urhobos in the SS, neither are they more than the Binis in the SS. Even the Ibibios.

I was Following you guys Argument and I was learning Something good until you started Measuring Land Mass with Population...

Nah here I bliv you are just arguing all these while out of sentiment..

People in Aba self have more Population that Niger State ..which has landmass more than whole Ss/Se

brown3:
oga Niger is larger than entire south west

And you want me to start arguing blindly with you??...

If you don't know SW is bigger than Niger state, don't mention me again...

Misterone:

The Igbos are not more than the Urhobos in the SS, neither are they more than the Binis in the SS. Even the Ibibios.

Ok let's do the Arithmetic.
The Urhobos are only predominant in Delta State. The Binis are predominant only in Edo State. The Ibibios are predominant only in AkwaIbom State.
The Igbos on the other hand are not only the majority in Rivers State, they are also the second or third largest in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta and Edo States.
So adding it up, which tribe is the majority in the Southsouth if not the Igbos?

So you agree that the Igbos are the most populated in Nigeria.
That is the point.
You can go ahead hating them if that will make food prices cheaper for you.

After seeing this post I remembered one of my very good friend that is always insisting he has never come acrosss any sensible ibo person before. I use to doubt him a lot but with what I have been seeing both offline and online I am scared to agree that he might be right because I'm yet to see for myself.
