^^^
Yes Ogonis are in Rivers State. They are a riverine people like the Ijaw and their language/culture is influenced by Ijaw, Igbo and their other neighbors. I think their population is 500k-1 million.
Odumchi,
It is wrong to assume and it is better to ask than post what is obviously wrong. The Ogonis in Rivers State are not riverine but termed upland. They have some rivers though! but mainly farmers. Their language/culture is distinct and not in anyway influenced by Ijaw or Igbo. They have the most difficult language to understand and speak slightly close in sounds only to efik/ibibio. Their population may be around 500k.

What will it cost you to add other ethinc groups?
Is it tech related (server, etc ) or sheer laziness

[size=16pt]THE RESULTS OF THE POLL IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THE NORTH HARDLY PARTICIPATES IN SUCH FORUMS BECAUSE OF THEIR EDUCATION DEFICIT. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST POPULOUS, BUT YOU CANNOT SEE THEM HERE IN ANY SUBSTANTIVE NUMBERS. RATHER TINY MINORITIES ARE SHOWING MORE NUMBERS THAN THE SUPPOSED NUMBER ONE MAJORITY - THE HAUSA.

THE IDEA OF HUGE POPULATION IN THE NORTH IS AN ELECTORAL AND POLITICAL MYTH.

ASIDE FROM THIS, THEIR EDUCATION DEFICIT IS JUST AMAZING.

LET US HAVE THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA.

One of the moderators "probably a Yoruba" is deleting some of Igbo votes. I saw 60 for Igbo, and after a while, it went down to 57.

And u're making this your assumption from a nairaland census poll? can u be anymore delusional? the population of members of Nairaland is not even up to 750k (Now compare with the population of Nigeria as a whole). it wld have been more reasonable if u had based your point on the ratio of Educated people (or the population of people with access to the internet) in the South to that of the North.

@ OP, majority of the tribes in the middle belt is not on that ur list, like mine, BDW, u shld have combined Hausa with Fulani.

Please tell us exactly why he should have combined hausa and fulani. Are they the same ethnic group? You think what your political fathers created out of the blues to assert their military hold on nigeria will fly in this forum? Read up man, and understand that hausa is a very different ethnic group from fulani. Both of them exists in other countries of Africa  and have never being grouped as one ethnic group in those places. It is only in nigeria that both are dubiously grouped as one for political reasons.

Mumu igbomina, instead of coming here with your mumuish yarns, you should monitor the stats of the votes for a while. I know finding out the fraud by your brother moderators by yourself will keep you shut forever.

@[b]REP S NIG,[/b]
Nairaland forum cannot be used as National census. You may not understand this but - it is not a representative population. Another thing - you are obviuoly  new in nairaland , here we dont have to shout at the top of our voices to be heard. Being too loud is associated with emptiness and low stature and worthilessness. Dont be too loud.
