The majority in the SS might be Igbos. Delta-Igbos make up over 30% of Delta state. Rivers Igbos also have 30% of Rivers state. With smaller pockets of Igbos in Edo, Akaibom and Bayelsa, Igbos could be the largest ethnic group in the SS

Igboids are the majority in Rivers state, followed by Ijoids.

Igboids make up about 60% of Rivers state. By Rivers state Igboids, I mean, Etche, Omuma, Ikwerre, Ndoni, Egbema, Ogba, Obigbo/Oyigbo, Ekpeye, Igbo speakers in Bonny and Opobo e.t.c
Rivers Ijoids include Kalabari, Andoni, Okrika, Ibani speakers in Bonny and Opobo e.t.c.

When you add the Igboids in Rivers with those in Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, AkwaIbom, they will definitely be in the top 3 largest ethnic groups in the SS.

As far as I am concedned the top 3 largest ethnic groups in the SS, in no special order are
1. EfikAnnangIbibio
2. Igboids
3. Ijoids


I won't be surprised if it turns out that the old Eastern region has 3 of the top five ethnic groups in Nigeria cool

Igbanke (formerly Igbo-akiri), they speak Ika, an Igboid language.
No need to be threatened, the Igbos are not expansionists like the Yorubas who fought the kiriji war or the Hausa-fulanis who fought the 1804 jihad to as far as present day Edo state.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong....

What's d population of Igbos in Edo, Bayelsa, Ak ? re they upto 80,000 ? No

then the Igbos in Delta re over one million, + The ones in Rivers, Wen you sum both they won't be more than 3million, y Urhobo population alone is Over 3Million not including d urhobos in Bayelsa , Not to talk of Ijaw that re more than 5million .

So how is Igbo more popular that Ijaw ?, urhobo ?.. no doubt wen you add The Igbo from SE they re more popular than Ijaw, But as far as SS is concerned Igbo re minority.

Hi dafty stop twisting histroy, the head of the dead ile-ife oba is usually burid in Benin and that was several centuries ago. Please no tribe wants to be part of Yoruba or Igbo you guys are too racist and uncouth to be associated with.
