IpOB is also an ethnic group

Same as Amotekun, ACF, Afenifere and OPC.

These lesser known ethnic groups are so overlooked by the rest of us.

They each have their own unique cultural attire, cuisine, and ancient history often dating back to thousands of years.

Tiv traditional wear is always the black and white stripes.

Once you see that, you know it is Tiv people.

Ekiti people don't speak Yoruba language, they have a different dialect which makes other Yoruba's avoid them.

They can be considered an ethnic group on their own to avoid the insults.

You know very little of what you're speaking of.

Op asked us to name other ethnic groups aside from the ‘big 3’ and you're here naming Ekiti😃

Each Yoruba state has its local dialect, a slight variation of the general Yoruba language, go to Akure, they speak what you’ll call Ekiti, the same as Ilesha in Osun state, and even in the Ekiti, many towns have their local dialect that easily tells off where such a person comes from in the state once they speak.

Ekiti is a dialect of Yoruba language and not a tribe. We are all Yoruba.

A casual visitor to this forum will easily assume that there are only 3 ethnic groups in Nigeria -Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.

Nobody ever talks about the other 297 ethnic groups in the country, many of whom number millions of people.

The ones I can name without Google are:

Itsekiri
Urhobo
Efik
Annang
Ogoni
Berom
Mwaghavul
Shanga
Kanuri
Tiv
Edo

Just 11 out of 297!

Quite poor, I must say!

Please name the ones you know. Without Google please!

Igbos are a minority

Its a fact. Ekiti people have severally asked for a separate ethnic group because other Yoruba's are embarrassing them. Ekiti should be a tribe on its own.

I thought your submissions were genuine.

But now I see that they were borne of tribalism & hatred, you're a troll looking for cheap attention, going forward I’ll avoid you.

It's a lie.

Ekiti is a tribe on its own. They don't have any relationship with the great Yoruba tribe, Ekiti people came from Dahomey while Ife people came from Abakaliki.

That's final.

vanbonattel:
I know about the Aworis, they have warned Yoruba people to stop doing attachee by force on them. Do you know that the rest of Yoruba states invaded and conquered the awori in their own Lagos?

Paraman:
I don't know about the Aworis.

But you see the Ikwerres, Ikas, Igbankes Ukwanis and Olukunmis are the ethnic group I know in Nigeria apart from Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa

Only 5 you know?

That’s shameful, Mr Man.

DevilsEqual:
I saw what u did there

U no dey amalgamate any group with another

You respect and recognize independent ethnic groups

God bless u my bro

Amen my bro

Part of the problem is in my opinion the whole language vs dialect issue.

Like now, there are many small tribes in the North who are considered Hausa, and yet some of them are really not Hausa.

Ditto Efik, ibibio and annang and eket. Are they separate or one tribal group?

It even extends beyond Nigeria. The UK speaks English which is not a native tongue of those islands,but a dialect of what is now German that has gotten so corrupted it is a different language. If one went to the UK in the time of Christ, the number of languages and dialects from the south to the Scottish border would shock you. Even now, a Welsh guy cannot understand a Scottish and or Irish guy in their native tongues and they all speak Celtic languages self.

Mainland Europe is even worse. The Americas before the whites came self...

A man from Ijebus tribe won't understand a man from Aworis tribe when he speaks.



Respect other tribes in south west and give them their own credit.



Everyone in south west is not Yoruba.

There are more than 30 tribes in south west and over 200 in the whole Nigeria.

Its insulting, to lump everyone together just because they were in the old Western region. They were even claiming Edo before Edo people struggled free in 19 sixty something

That have been their way, forcing all tribes in south west as Yorubas.



If Nigeria have more than 200 tribes, where can see them,if south west are all Yorubas.

How is telling you the truth ethnic bashing.

Igbos are a minority in Nigeria and they are not even the 3rd largest tribe in Nigeria.

Go and educate yourself so that stop disgracing yourself on social media

Tiv is a clan?

Urhobo na clan?

Okey dokey

ariesbull:

That will be a disaster for those who have disowned their state just to claim Lagos.
