Igboid:
None. No Igbo community in Kogi that I'm aware of. Just some Igala communities that are bilingual in both Igbo and Igala. They are Igala by ethnicity.

Only Benue has indigenous Igbo speaking groups.

i dont know of kogi but i know igbos are in 4 LGA in benue state ( Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs)

acenazt:
which tribe come be niger delta

Lolz... are u dumb serious?

Drienzia:
Seriously i don't know why u guyz are arguing over a simple and clear issue like this.... The urhobos alone in delta state, is more than the entire population in bayelsa(ijaws)some urhobo communities are in bayelsa st and edo state respectively , yes, its true ijaws er in different states, buh talking about population, they er no where compared to the urhobos... The urhobos should be compared to the kanuris alone. In terms of population... Ijaws should just chill and argue population with the Edos.... No need arguing over an issue that's so clear to everyone

Even within the Niger delta, ijaw doesnt even come fourth

After the igboid groups(Anioma + Rivers igbos + igbanke in Ed0 state), the urhobos come second, then the edo peopel come third(though there may be differences among them, but the come as one) then the ijaw

see where the ijaws stand in the figure below

HopeAtHand:


In 2010, Ijaws were 10Million, in 2014, they were 14million, in 2016, they are now 15million.

In 2006 census figures

Rivers 5,185,400
Delta 4,098,300
Edo 3,218,332
Bayelsa 1,703,358

Total 14,205,390.

Im to assume everyone in these states are Ijaws. If not, you have to substantiate your claims. Tnx.

Was the 2006 census not a fraud? The Nigeria state has deliberately continued to misrepresent the Ijaw nation in that affairs of Nigeria .

Ijaws are found in large population in all States of the South south except cross river, as well as Ondo state.

Anyway, Na make them do census make we know

Do we have ethnicity on our CENSUS forms?
Do we have ethnicity on our birth and DEATH certificate forms?
What database in Nigeria contains the statistics on ethnicity?
We sha like to DECEIVE ourselves by throwing figures around anyhow.

In that same census that Bayelsa had 1.7million figures, i know an acquaintance in Okpoama Brass who told me in confidence that he personally represented 10 families, counting all his fingers and toes in the process. He claimed the falsifying of the census was a deliberate and organised attempt at increasing population figures for Bayelsa.

My question to you remains, does everyone in the SS amount to Ijaw, or how did you arrive at 15million Ijaws and why did Jonathan not win the election.

Ask TonyeBarcanista. His projected figures for Ijaw populations even surpasses the 2006 census figures of Rivers, Delta, Edo and Bayelsa combined. This their rubbish lie was first peddled by INC 2009/2010 as Ijaws having 10Million people in Nigeria, now its 15Million people. One wonders where they pull these figures.

This one Na them say them say... Let the government organise credible census

Census have never included ethnicity. So whats ur point?

Sicillian:
Yep thats true... they are called USEN, d language is similar to Yoruba, but dey are not... thier root is from Benin

I am happy you can attest to it. But I need you to know that around the world many cultural values have been wiped out by conquest and domination erasing their Original heritage. Look at the Egyptians, the ancient city of Nubia, Syria, the whole of north Africa....

My point is the Usen society were subdued by the Benin Kingdom and became a vassal state many years ago. But that doesn't change their heritage as partly yoruba. I hope you get my point.

Is Niger Delta a tribe? I don't understand some of you these days. Hausa as a single tribe, that is without attaching Fulani, doesn't have a higher population than Igbo. The only tribe than is more than Igbo is probably Yoruba and that's cos we lost 2 million persons in the civil war

See how ridiculous your source looks. So there is no Efik,Ibibio,Anang and so on?

There was no census in 1921 stop peddling lies

Fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria is Ijaw.

Igbo is the largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

khadaffi:
Go back and study the history of Nigeria properly. This time without missing any detail. You will find the fourth largest ethnic group

Mr historian. can't u help him out?

SamuelAnyawu:
It's between Tivs and Ijaws...

But I think it's Ijaws

it is tiv. They are spread across three states namely benue, Taraba and nasarawa

mulattoclaroo:
what igbos in Edo or Rivers? I can see you're an igbo man under a different moniker. Igbos are migrants to South South.

How do you lie to yourself and keep a straight face

Bekwarra:
There are Yorubas in Edo and Delta states. Go figure.

Yeah,Edo are yorubas in history

With 15 million population, Ijaws are the undisputed 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria

Wondering why You are most upvoted even if not for Ignorance full plenty for here.

Is nigerdelta an ethnic group?
Nearly 1/3 of Nigerdelta is Igbo.


Igbo is the largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

Take this to Emefiele in CBN.

gebest:
haaay bros, bearing yoruba names does't mean anything, anybody can bear any name he likes, now let me educate u a bit, Akoko Edo some of dem bear yoruba names but there language is not yoruba at all, OWAN some of dem bear yoruba name but their language is not yoruba at all, now we ve IJAGBA in ondo state but they speak edo 'owan' precisely, now we ve d IGBANKE'S they clasify them as edo igbo but their language is not igbo at all just like akoko edo they clasify as edo yoruba. So there is no yoruba nor igbo language in edo.

Keep lying to yourself. I know you are one of those irrelevant tribes that are not found in more than 2 LGAs

The ijaw are the fourth largest ethnic group in nigeria

Ugomba:
@OP. There are NO Yorubas in South South.
Kanuri are the 4th largest tribe in Nigeria.

When you remove history from your school curriculum, your children grow up not knowing who they are....some even think they are descendants of the queen of England the way the like to speak with funny accents.


For your information, Ijaws urhobos and Tsekiris have Yoruba links. Why is the King of warri called "Olu" which is a yoruba word and title? You can argue over the origins of Yorubas, some say Ife some say Benin but there is no argument over Yoruba DNA in the SS.....except by the ignorant.

aylagos:
the largest ethnic group in the south is YORUBA GIYF and second in Nigeria after Hausa/Fulani

Hausa and Fulani are 2 different tribes.

Ugomba:
stop getting emotional.
There are NO yorubas in south south.

explain Omawunmi, Oritsefemi, Oritsejefor

Sicillian:
Lolz... are u dumb serious?

Oga Niger Delta isn't a tribe. When its time to fight over who has more oil under her ground, you will know the difference

ijaw is the forth largest in Nigeria
