dude I think you are just making things hard to believe despite that, all that I still agree with you that populations are just mere numbers, but dude you saying Ijaws are like normads bro, keep your mouth quiet and read your history books, if you make your research well, then You have known that Ijaws were among the ancient tribes that first settled in the Niger Delta RIGION, till date Ijaws are not found outside that region bro, or have u seen an Ijaw settlement in Benue or taraba? Despite their rivers and fishes? N u saying occupying public positions men I laugh you, fulani has the highest rate in d senate? Like really? Man call d numbers, n Fulani alone having 9 governors in Nigeria representing them? Dude na who u wan deceive,

anyway concerning their population the Fulani are up to 35 million globably but only 7 million are there in Nigeria, even Kanuri which I said was close but came up with 6.9 million in nigeria,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanuri_people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fula_people


gets your facts straight

the govs of these various states are fulanis,Nasarawa,Gombe,Kaduna,katsina,kano,Bauchi,Sokoto,Kebbi,adamawa are all Fulanis,not Hausas.
I guess you dont know the meaning of normads guess thats why you think its an insult,Igbos are the modern day normads in Nigeria they constitute the highest nos in any states apart from the indigenes.
You dont want to get me started on how many senators are fulanis,the.President and senate president are fulanis.
btw please be civil when you want to reply,telling someone that is faceless to shut up,thats for gutter /savage people.

Kyase you and the Op on this thread are saying the same thing

https://www.nairaland.com/4226496/ijaws-smallest-minorities-south-facts

no mind that afriifa of a guy, the guy was yarning nonsense.

Afriifa:
Before you all come for my head, just know am just like every other normal guy that loves where he's from and also happy to defend the interest of his people ( you can call me a tribal Bigot).

After reading many write ups about the Ijaw people here on nairaland, everybody seems to love the Ijaws with their unique culture, especially their Niger Delta brothers and cousins. even some of the Yorubas. But usually countered and ridiculed whenever the issue of their population is raised.


We all know, even the whole world knows that Ijaws have been marginalized a lot by the Nigerian State due to their status as Minority( we gon talk about that next time).

This thread is created particularly to counter Wikipedia for recognizing the Tiv people as the fourth largest ethnic Group in Nigeria in place of the Ijaws, thereby denying the Ijaws their rightful place on the Internet map globally. And also misinforming the Nigerian populace, thereby making the Ijaws appearing like liars even here on nairaland even when they (wikipedia) themselves made the truth obvious. Evidence loading...

Ijaw population in nigeria is less than 2 million....U are a minority tribe.

Afriifa:
When I searched for the entire Ijaw population. Wikipedia stated yet again that the Ijaws were over 10 Million people(we r still more than that but let me accept these figures)

10 million ijaws living where??

Less than 1.5 million ijaws live in Bayelsa state and they are minority in rivers, ondo, akwaibom, delta and edo states....pls where are these hidden over 10 million ijaws abeg?

Afriifa:
lol. I feel your fustration bro.. The Current deputy Governor of Rivers state "Banigo" is an Izon woman from degema Lga. Also the current deputy governor of delta himself is an Ijaw man Otuaru, plus bayelsa own, Making 3 deputy governors, in history Tiv has no Deputy governor Idoma as won that slot as their birth right, n u dare claim you are more populous than Ijaw oboy use ur head

Are u well @ all Gabriel Suswam, George Akume and Samuel Ortom are the 3 venue governors since 1999 and they are all Tiv...Tiv is the most populated and most dominant tribe in benue state.

Afriifa:
also the Current river state speaker is an Izon man from Okrika rivers, even d former man na Izon man, bayelsa speaker of d house dat one u already know, I think we also once had an Ijaw as speaker of the House in Delta state maybe deputy, but Tiv has only one speaker of the house oo, till date, deputy na Idoma d carry am bro use ur head

Majority tribe keep governorship every year TIV AND IGBO, While minority tribe get compensated with deputy IJAW AND IDOMA

Afriifa:
u are here claiming fourth meanwhile Ijaw av a Senator in Rivers representing them, hav another representing dem from Delta state, then again three from bayelsa making it 5, senators n d whole Tiv nation which u claim are 4th largest has only 2 senators to represent dem. Or r u trying to say benue has more tribes in it or more populous than Rivers or Delta state? Use your head, 5 senators minus 2 na 3, meaning you guys need more three

Stop spreading ignorance, Tiv are found in 5 other states asides Benue state.

Afriifa:
according to my reserch the Fulani and Kanuri makes up the 5 and 6th position, it is also there, and when I checked the Kanuri population on wikipedia and the fulanis own, they were quiet numbered but none of them was able to beat the 10 million the Ijaw had on wikipedia so,

How can ijaw be 10 million wen river, delta and Bayelsa where most ijaws are found total about 10 million people

Make u de use ur head
