Fulani can't be 6%

Majority or notable politicians and all the Emirs in the North are Fulani. 6% can't have that influence
This is Nigeria! It's possible for a smart and sneaky minority to lord it over a daft, selfish and in-fighting majority! Fulani have found a way to play one part of Nigeria against the other so they can remain on top of the food-chain!

Name the 26 LGAs of Ijaw!

Ijaw that does not have a common mutually inteligible language.
Before you shift the goalpost, have you seen the citation at the bottom of the screenshot?

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.

Inside Bayelsa. Urhobo people are still there

Cite professionally!. You quoted [14][15] and cited [29]. Name the 26 LGAs of Ijaw? or provide url of your citation for us to see the authority.

So Wikipedia is no longer my source as you initially claimed?

Have told you the fact. That statistics is not accurate.

Don't go and bet on it in the street
You guys should also cite your sources to counter his.

Not attacking him!

Nigeria and criticism without fact to substantiate "supposed" truth.

OkCornel:
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
Reno Omokri: Fact Check me
Pete Obi :Go and verify
Me: I am a chosen grin
Who are you?

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.
Not complete without the great Benin kingdom

Just to add that IFA is a spirit language to communicate with your spirit and other spirits. It uses 256 signs. It is not a belief system. Just a mathematical language. It is scientific

Thanks for this.

Just curious, can a mathematician decode IFÁ?

Yes, once you learn the signs, you are good to go.

Hmmm, interesting.
