Equally there are no Ijaws in Rivers State
According to river state official website IJaws,ikwerres,and Ogonis re the major ethnic group in Rivers followed by others.

Igbo wasn't listed among the ethnic groups in Rivers.

Maybe you Have to show me where igbo is listed among the ethnic group in Rivers state official website dumbo!gringrin
A dumbo is always the first to call others dumbo when he is caught out in a lie. cheesy grin
You make an assertion you prove it. So if you cannot show where the R/S government said that, then you are a dumber liar than previously thought.
Besides its quite pathetic that an Hausa or Yoruba man will require his ethnic group listed on a website to know his identity. Such is the sorry case that is yours! grin

Rivers state offical website says there no igbos in the state.

Who re you to say other wise.
Port Harcourt (Igbo: Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá;[12][13][14] Pidgin: Po-ta-kot[3][Note 1]) is the capital and largest city of Rivers State, Nigeria. It lies along the Bonny River and is located in the Niger Delta. As of 2016, the Port Harcourt urban area has an estimated population of 1,865,000 inhabitants, up from 1,382,592 as of 2006.[15][9]

The area that became Port Harcourt in 1912 was before that part of the farmlands of the Diobu village group of the Ikwerre, an Igbo sub-group.[16] The colonial administration of Nigeria created the port to export coal from the collieries of Enugu located 243 kilometres (151 mi) north of Port Harcourt,[17] to which it was linked by a railway called the Eastern Line, also built by the British.[2][17][18] Wikipwedia.

Even proceeds from Enugu coal was used to develop the city...just like proceeds from Crude oil and gas was used to develop Abuja and Lagos...but that's not the point...Do you know the meaning of Ugwu Ocha? You need education... By the way, why all these Igbo thing? Has any Igbo, accused you westerners about what you do with your people in Kogi and Kwara? God have mercy!

Kk let me spoon feed you

Rivers State is the sixth-largest geographic area in Nigeria
according to 2006 census data. The state has an
indigenous diverse population with major riverine and
upland divisions. The dominant ethnic groups are:
Ikwerre, Ijaw and Ogoni. Upland Rivers State covering
about 61% is composed mainly of Ikwerre and Ogoni,
although there are many other minority people in the
region.
The riverine, including most of the state’s towns and
villages surrounded by water is moderately inhabited. It
covers approximately 39% of the total land mass and
holds a significant Ijaw population.
This list refers to the various autonomous ethnic groups
residing within Rivers State’s boundaries in addition to its
upland and riverine areas.

I believe you that there are no Igbos in rivers state just like there are none in Abia, Imo, Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi states. Delta is only home to itshekiris while Lagos is a no man's land.
Yoruba's are even a minority in Lagos and Kwara belongs to Hausas.

Sorry bro!
The igbos require no one and not even a website to validate their existence or identity. Sorry for you that put stock in the opinions of a minion.
When you get education, you will realise that a Yoruba man does not need a website to know who he is, but apparently you wouldn't know that would you? grin grin

I won't be surprised if one Nsukka person opens a thread, suggesting they are not Igbos...You will throw owembe party and take that to the bank. Igbos have never tried to claim people's land...They have been in existence before the white people came and there was never a history of war with their neighbors, unlike the Yorubas and the Fulanis...God have mercy...
