Southern Nigeria

Hausa
Kanuri
Tiv




This is fact and it's not distorted article created online.
So many of who you call Igbos are actually Ijaws and where Ijaw occupy in the Niger Delta is bigger than Igbo land.



You call Kanuri Hausa but where Kanuri Occupy in Nigeria is very very very large.

"@General Ditari".


THE IJAWS ARE SPREAD ACROSS MANY STATES. THAT'S THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW NOW. PLEASE STAY WHERE YOU ARE AND STOP NONSENSE PROTEST.

TINUBU SHOULD PLEASE RETURN FULL AUTONOMOUS POLICING RESOURCING AND ELECTIONEERING STATUSES TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES NOW AND ALSO ADOPT A CERTIFIED TITHES CONTRIBUTION SYSTEM TO RUN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SINE DIE.

So Tiv and Kanuri who have only one state each are larger than Fulani who either the largest tribe in most Northern states or are second in states where they are not the largest tribe? Continue.

@General Ditari.
ibibios are actually more populated than the ijaws. You can compare ijaws and urhobo or isoko. Ijaws are found in rivers, Ondo, delta and that does not mean that their population is high. Ijaws in those states mentioned are not upto 200k .Look at bayelsa, a state predominant with ijaws but the lowest population of any Nigerian state. They are about 2.5 million with a lot of other tribes there. I just read about Ese odo LGA in ondo state which is the main place for the jaws in that state. Their population there is about 150k from Wikipedia info. Bayelsa state is less than 2.5 million people with high population of isoki and urhobo communities carved into it. The population of ijaws should be around 2 million and unfortunately most communities in Bayelsa are denying been ijaws
