They believe it's correct because it favours them

Hausa 78 million is quite funny to be honest.

Swears grin
And they didn't accept Ijaws to be 15m
But they believe the list is correct.

I've never seen an hypocrite like them b4

TheGodlessGod:
they are clowns. They think population is an achievement even if it's a fake figure.

Their entire region is like one south west state (Oyo).

Ijaws in ondo Edo Delta are not up to 1 million in population.

Ijaw in bayelsa River and other states are not up to 2 million in population.

So how are they 15 million? These nonsense started in gej era


The only point I have to agree with you.

The inflation started during Gej..

Ijaws are not even up to TIvs in population.

How is Igbo second before Yoruba?

Yoruba is even the second most populated ethnic groups in nigeria after the hausa fulani.

They are second most populated in Benin republic.

They are present in Togo, ivory coast, and south America countries.

Just because igbos are more visible (trade) and loud doesn't make them more populated


Another tribal illiterate dictated




let me tell you the truth, most countries outside Africa don't know about any other tribe in Nigeria apart from Igbo.



If u travel to any nation the first question their citizen will ask u when you tell them that u're from Nigeria is "Are you Igbo?"


Most foreigners have not come across Yoruba man. They are only aware of Igbos.

I understand you want to see your ethnic group as the best but you don't have to be deluded and making rubbish claims.

Yoruba tradition (ifa and orisha) are widely celebrated in Americas (north and southern Americans) and some of them trace their origin to yoruba people in Nigeria.

Igbos are into trade that's why they are loud, when xenophobia was happening last year and nigerians there was returning home people thought igbos would be like 90% of the population there but everyone was shocked seeing even more people coming home are from South West.

But if you reach south Africa they mostly knows igbos, been loud doesn't make you populated.
