Igbos constitute 45% of Lagos population and that make them a majority tribe in Lagos, the remaining 55% is divided among other tribes Hausa, Ijaw, etc, with Yorubas struggling to grab 40% even Egun, Awori doesn’t see theirselves as full Yorubas, if not for intimidation and violence against Igbos in elections, Igbos will almost win all senate and house of rep seat in Lagos. |

Just wait. People based outside Lagos from the SW region, who were deported by Sanwolu will soon tell you otherwise. ![]() |

You must have gotten that statistics from IBS ( Ipob Bureau of statistics) If 45% of Lagosians resident are Igbos, 20m population, that's roughly 8 million Igbo's in Lagos state. How many Igbo's are in other SW states , how about in North and South South.. Oh the Igbo's in abroad as well. So what's the population of the Igbo's? How many Igbos are residing in South East? When it comes to figure, you people have really been struggling |

IGBOs allover NIGERIA are the dominant tribe after the indigenous people. This shows that IGBOs are everywhere, just like the SUN ![]() |

![]() In all Northern States which tribe comes tops after the indigenous people?.... IGBOs!! In all NIGERIA which tribe comes tops after the indigenous people?... IGBOs In old SE they remain excessively dominant.. Now I ask ...apart from SW, where are Yoruba the dominant tribe after the indigenous people?....None ![]() helinues: |

esnbrutality:If 8 million of Igbo's are residing in Lagos state alone , how many Igbo's are residing in North, South South? Living outside Nigeria From the population of an average 30m people. How many Igbo's are now residing in South East.? Argue this logically and don't make the attempt of derailing |
| Re: Igbos Constitute 45% Of Lagos Population And That Makes Them Majority by helinues: 11:02pm On Jul 28, 2025 |
If we are to go by this statistics, then we can say 10m Igbo's are residing in South West states |

![]() Simple Answer... Why are you afraid of a census to determine population and geographical spread by ethnicity? In all Northern States..after indigenous people..it's IGBOs In all SW States after indigenous people it's... IGBOs Same applies allover NIGERIA..and beyond. IGBOs are Large ![]() helinues: |

Why are Igbos the majority in a the same Lagos Igbos ascribe as a 'dirty' place. |

esnbrutality:The op who created this thread including you who want to argue about it did not think it through. If 8m of Igbo's are in Lagos state alone, then like 2m should be in other SW states . Average Igbo population is 30m. 1/3 of your population is in a region of those who some of you claimed hate you passionately. That is even aside, the parasitic nature of such statistics if true, like coming to share the little resources meant for the locals while there are almost nothing for your governors to show with theirs even for the fact that over half of the population of the indigenes are out of the region. |

esnbrutality:Talking about census. Igbos were not even existing in Lagos when the colonialist took census of the Lagos and Lagos was peace and yet prosperous. I hope you know that it is the same story with Ghana. Other tribes especially Yoruba and Hausa have long made Ghana their home and have been living peacefully until..........
