Igbos populated ke? Be like u dey joke o

Hausas are the most populated tribe in Nigeria. Ordinary Google will save you from this goofing na boss
Liars we call all northern tribe hausas.the truth is igbos are more populated than only the Hausa tribe.
Igbos dey drag population with yorubas in sw,are indigenous to all ss state except bayelsa own se alone and go to north and see how many igbos are.

Believeintruth:
See let us tell ourselves the truth. Ijaws are only at the waterside of Rivers. Even Opobo and other areas are not ijaw in the true sense of the word. This expansionist move started after the civil war. Ijaws are only at the waterside and at Brass,Members and Yenegoa axis. That was why Bayelsa was created to give a home where Ijaws are majority.
Even at that, they are in the majority. If we also expand our look into the Niger Delta as a whole, we find the Ijaws in other states of the Niger Delta. Where do you find Ikwerre people? Rivers state only.

Wike’s comment in that regard was very childish, very petty and completely unnecessary. I am not holding brief for the people of Ijaw land, but it is absolutely reprehensible to make such a comment, especially as someone who was a governor in the same state.

Opobo is Ijaw land completely and that’s where Fubara comes from.

Next time don’t make that mistake. They have Bayelsa.
Can we all see the backward reasoning - we employ in Nigerian politics? How can our so called Leaders promote negative democracy?And we all pray for Nigeria to get better; we are not ready for good governance.

WRONG, OPOBO ARE CEREMONIAL IJAWS AND CUSTOMARY IGBO.


THIS STATEMENT IS A FACT.


LIKEWISE, IJAWS AND EFIK IN RIVERS STATE ARE 15TH TO 19TH CENTURY MIGRANTS ATTRACTED BY THE SLAVE SHIPS AND SELLING OF HUMAN CARGOES MAINLY THE IGBOS WHO ARE INDIGEIOUS TO THAT AREA.


THERE ARE NO IJAWS OR MIXED IJAWS ON THE MAINLAND, AND WHOEVER IS ON THE MAINLAND OWNS THE COAST.


ANYBODY CAN COME AND SQUAT ON THE WATERSIDE, AND U LEAVE THEM BUT THEY CANNOT CLAIM THE COAST OR BLOCK YOUR ACCESS TO THE SEA, THAT WILL BE A DECLARATION OF WAR.

Even though it is true that the Ijaws are minority in Rivers state, I don't think kind of statement by Wike is a good one especially at this time.
The Ijaws will see this as threat to the existential relevance in Rivers state and may turn to an ethnic fight instead of a political one.
Even though that's what Wike may be trying to achieve so he can blame Fubara for causing crises, it's a really sinister thing to do as it would further embolden dominant tribes to relegate minorities to the backstage of governance.

OMO NNNAA DON DEY SAY RUBBISH..
technicallyrich:
Ijaws that own half of rivers state.out of 23 local government ijaws own 11 completely and share one with Igbo(ikwere).
Ijaws are the majority in ss.they are in all the ss state except cross rivers.
The second tribe that owns ss are igbos but most dey deny they are not igbos.
Ijaws own 99 percent of bayelsa no other tribe is ss own such percentage of state.
Asawana. God bless the fourth largest tribe after Yorubad which are third, Hausa second and Igbos are the most populated tribe in Nigeria

Wicked is speaking some truth but once someone is already a governor, allow them to work for the people, if you don't want him to be given you should have picked the best of the best.
Re: An Ijaw Man Was Made Governor Out Of Our Benevolence, They Are Minority - Wike by hotseat: 2:59pm On Mar 12, 2025
Since the crisis is now turning into an ethnic thing, finding a lasting resolution to it is likely to become more difficult and mutual hatred and suspicion among the ethnic nationalities may linger on even after Fubara's tenure in office.


Fubara was too quick to play the ethnic card by co-opting his tribal warlords in the ongoing conflict.


Today, the Ijaws would blow up pipelines should Fubara be impeached!


Tomorrow, asawana this, asawana that!



This ethnic posture and mindset of resorting to threats and violence at the drop of a hat is painting a picture of the Ijaws as a primitively violent tribe.



When push comes to shove, Rivers State and Riverians, irrespective of ethnicity, would bear the brunt.


Madness is not a monopoly!



No society can prosper in an atmosphere of chaos, destruction and bloodshed.



But, the Wicked One, it's time to bury the hatchet!


Itia do!



Who win case no dey take appeal o!

So Wike is saying Rivers people did not choose Fubara, rather he (Wike) and his king makers forced Fubara on the masses? This na confession right there o.

try to understand his speech

He is indirecly justifying his fear of Ijaw retaliation if he impeaches fubara.

He is indirectly telling you that its their rot afterwards that stands his way

This might be true shaa, because even in akwaibom, annang/ Ibibio have sworn never to let an Oro man become governor. Not minding the fact that they are the 3rd largest ethnic group there and most of the mineral resources in which they get huge allocation from the FG reside there. They are marginalizing them like tomorrow no dey. They refuse to build the seaport in ibaka cos they think it will benefits Oro ethnic group more. It's really sad to belong to a minority

Ijaws are minority in Rivers state just like the South East.

Forget their noise and threat. Ijaws are just chest beaters like Ipob and obedients.

Fubara will be impeached and nothing will happen.

Wike na man you be.
if you have sense, you will notice Wike saying its only ijaw retaliation that stands his way.

Fubara would ve been impeached by now if they wanted to. They re afraid.

NOBODY CAN IMPEACH FUBARA.


THE WHOLE REGION WOULD BOIL.

I DONT THINK U PEOPLE KNOW THAT FUBARA HAVE WON THE HEART OF THE MASSES.

DO U THINK WE SUPPORT OPPRESSION AND HUMILIATION?


WIKE HAVE ONLY SUCCEEEDED IN MAKING FUBARA BIGGER.

GO AND IMPEACH HIM AND SEE THE BLOW OUT AND BLOW BACK REGIONALLY AND SPREAD NATIONALLY.

ONLY FUBARA CAN REMOVE HIMSELF AS GOVERNOR BY FAILING ON HIS MANDATE.

BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS, EVEN WITH THE DISTRACTION HE IS DELIVERING AND COMMISSIONING PROJECTS.
