What I Admire In The Major Ethnic groups In Nigeria by OkCornel(op):
This thread is to focus on the positive attributes and achievements of the major tribes in Nigeria;

The Omoluabis, Lukumis, Anagos (popularly known as the Yorubas) - A very rich culture and history spreading across Western Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo, parts of Ghana, Brazil, Cuba and the Caribbeans.

Intelligent, accommodating, tolerant.

Gave the gift of IFÁ and Orunmila to the world. A non-discriminatory belief system.

Impeccable fashion state as evident in their local fabrics.

The Hausas

The Fulanis

The Igbos

The Ijaws


Will complete this later today.

Ethnic nationalities. Tribe is low number and low organization.

You added Ijaw among the major tribes grin

Is like you're Ijaw

Sorry to burst your bubble. I’m not Ijaw, and I’m not quite sure how you arrived at that conclusion.

Ijaws are among the 5 largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

They’re the oldest indigenous ethnic group in Nigeria.

Feel free to fact check me.

Edited: Ijaws are one of the top 10 tribes in Nigeria

grin

Who told you that Ijaw is among the top 5 most populated tribe?

Kanuri, Tiv, Efik are more populated than Ijaw.

Just decided to mention above three tribes.

If you check well, tribes like Jukun, Igala, Gwari, Urhobo are also more populated than Ijaw as well.

Pure lie!. Ijaws are neither one of the oldest indigenous group nor among the top 8 ethnic groups in Nigeria!. Get your facts correct!.

They’ve been in the Niger Delta for over 7,000 years.

Interesting how people are more loyal to their tribes than the nation.

Not quite sure how tribalism has improved anyone’s standard of living.

This is not accurate

Hausa can't be ×2 of Igbo/Yoruba population

And fulani are more than 6% of Nigeria population

Find the accurate one

Fulani can't be 6%

Majority or notable politicians and all the Emirs in the North are Fulani. 6% can't have that influence

Just the way you count kanuri, borgu and other ethnic groups in north as Hausa/fulani

Inside the fulani, there are still sub tribes

Wikipedia is your source!. Your submission is factual but not truthful

Name the 26 Ijaw LGA. BTW 26LGA is the average number of LGA for a typical Nigeria State.

Bayelsa, a predominately Ijaw State is not up to 3m, where did you get your numbers?

You still have time to argue with him sha

Ask him howmany Ijaw has he met since he was born

Igala and Urhobo people are even more visible than Ijaw.
