Largest Rivers State Tribe Out Of The 3 Tribes That Make Up Rivers State. by Nailly(op): 7:50am On Jun 06, 2024
Offcourse it's Ijaw.

Rivers have 23 LGAs and can be said to have 3 Groups.


The Ijoid, the Igboid and Ogoni


Out of 23 LGAs,
The Ijoid have 11 and half LGAs.
Ogoni have 4 and the Igboid have the rest.

With the Ijoid having roughly half of the LGAs, Ijaw is largest tribe.


For 25 years of Democracy only Ijaw have been Deputies and when they drop Deputy they become Governor.


Ogoni has neither become Governor nor Deputy.


It only rotates between Ijaw and Igbo.

Abua is not ijew
Eleme is not ogoni
Opobo, bonny and andoni are not purely ijaws
In fact
Kalahari okrika ogu/gbolo are mere political ijaws

It's funny how you split the igboid groups refuse to split the ijaws

There is an ijaws tribe there are a people called ijaws people they are in bayelsa

Jonathan is not an ijaws man u know as much as I know

What most of you call today is mere political union going by the name ijaw

There is no similarities between abua and ijaws in any shape or form absolutely none

Abua are as unique as ogoni

Mbaiama people are closer to igbos even than ijaws

Relax I know this things pass u

Bro Nembe people still have Igbo mix in them, just go and see their King.


Ogbia people language is like the Ekpeye.


GEJ Otuoke is Ekpeye.


Yenagoa is not Ijaw either.


Ijaw are more to the west of Bayelsa, Delta and Edo.


Till tomorrow, Okrika say they are not Ijaw.


Kalabari are Igbo people.

No Ijaw in Rivers state.

There was a reason why Bayelsa was created.

In truth Abua, Odual, Andoni and Abuloma are neither Ijaw nor Igbo nor Ogoni but distinct closely related tribes. In Rivers State Ijaw is not a recognized ethnic group but Igbo is. Egbema, Ndoki and Asa are officially recognized as Igbo in Rivers State. Officially recognized Tribes in Rivers State are

Ikwerre
Ogoni
Etche
Kalabari
Okrika
Ibani
Abua
Odual
Engeni
Degema
Ekpeye
Ogba
Ndoni
Abuloma
Andoni
Igbo
Eleme
Among the officially recognized ethnic nationalities Ikwerre is the most populous followed by Ogoni then Etche before Kalabari and Okrika. The rest are very small ethnic groups.

Using language simliarity and non-native State residency, the greater Igbo ethnic grouping is a far majority and migrant Ibibio out number some of the native Rivers tribes

Ijaw are the 3rd largest ethnic group in Nigeria, after Hausa and Yoruba. Igbo are the 4th

How do you people even think on this forum? So because ijaw has 11 lgas, it is the largest tribe in rivers state? Whether you like it or not, igbos form 60-70% of the indigenous population
Re: Largest Rivers State Tribe Out Of The 3 Tribes That Make Up Rivers State. by OmotolaDeniro(f): 5:07pm On Jun 06, 2024
Ikwerre still have the largest population in Rivers State

11 LGAs ontop water. If you see how small some of the LGAs are in population, you will be shocked. Some Ikwerre towns are bigger than some LGAs.

Their noise will end when Fubara finishes his first term and loses his reelection. Then, they will weep in RIVERS State.
