Ethnic population is not restricted to a geographical location
That is why I said even if the SW 'dashes' igbos 5-million out of our total SW population (going by that data I presented), una go still fall far short. Oyo and Ogun combined telecoms data subscribers outnumber those of the entire SE states combined. That's just two states in the SW. The 4 remaining SW states (as well as Kwara and YOruba-speaking Kogi) have a combined telecoms subscriber base of atleast 28-million. If you still don't get it, then I cannot help you. I dey go to bed.

OK,..Argue with CIA.
Lol. Who gives a shyt about CIA?? When investors need data to guide their investment decisions, they won't consult the CIA. Rather, they will sift through up-to-date data like the one I provided up there (in the absence of a recent census) because it is more detailed and closest to the reality on the ground.

Check the number of Igbos outside Igbo land then compare it with other tribes men that are outside their region and see the gap..
Look here, even if we are to dash igbos 4 to 5-million out of the SW numbers, they will still fall far short compared to Yorubas in the SW coz like I said in my earlier post, Oyo and Ogun alone are more than the entire SE numbers from that data. undecided Add another 5-million from the rest of the country and una go still fall short of the SW. undecided

The 4 remaining SW states (as well as Kwara and YOruba-speaking Kogi) have a combined telecoms subscriber base of atleast 28-million.

In other words, if the Hausa-Fulani population is broken down individually, the Hausas could probably be at about 13.5% and Fulani's 13.5%, thus making the Igbo the single largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

Another question is if the Igbo figure includes Igbo speakers in SS and middle belt who number anywhere from 3m to 5m. If these speakers are excluded and we are to include them, the Igbo percentage might as well be at 16% to 18%.

Cc Scholes0
The only thing we have that is closest to an informed estimate of population spread are the telecoms data (attached below) because it is unbiased in any form, and it clearly shows the SE as the least populated while the SW is the single largest/most populated. Oyo and Ogun population alone are more than those of the SE combined (without including Lagos or Ekiti, Ondo, Osun or Kwara and Yoruba-speaking Kogi).

Since you will refuse to read.

Here it is read again.
Your political bias is making you not to think straight. If Lagos should try what you just quoted mischievous people like you will be up in arms accusing it of bigotry, like Peter Obi did when Fashola sent back not just Igbos but also Yorubas to their States of origin (incidentally more Yorubas were sent back to their states in that incident than Igbos were, yet the igbos [thanks to Peter Obi' politicizing the issue] made the loudest noise about it).

In the Lagos instance, it was even said that both governments of Lagos and Anambra exchanged correspondence on how to relocate 13 destitute of Anambra extraction to their home state before the exercise. On the day of the relocation Anambra officials were no where to be found in upper Iweka when the destitutes were brought. Lagos officials dumped the destitute there and went back (that wasn't good enough). The next thing the bigot called Peter Obi did was to call the then president GEJ and the media rather than calling his colleague Fashola. He did that to score tribal and political point

The moment you begin to make excuses and pick and choose, then you lose credibility. Ideally, no Nigerian should be deported from anywhere within Nigeria. Stop trying to defend the indefensible for political reasons.

Deportation story by Igbokwu APC chief propaganda and fabrication grin grin can provide full details on how Obi deported northerners or other Nigerians living in Anambra, demolished mosques or force non indigenes to register for IDs huh

Below is Lagos under Fashola
Fashola owned up to and apologized for his own act. Why didn't Peter Obi come forward to deny Igbokwe's accusations back then?? These are weighty accusations that are now coming to haunt him today. I know you were once Obiano's spokesperson and propaganda merchant on Nairaland back in the days, but I doubt that Peter Obi has given you permission to speak for him in a similar capacity. Peter Obi should come out and deny that he deported Nigerian destitutes during his tenure as governor. You are just a wannabe fan and do not and cannot speak for him.

Are you Peter Obi's spokesperson?? Peter Obi never refuted Joe Igbokwe who made the accusation up till today. It is not too late for him to come forward and deny that he never deported Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom 'destitutes'. Are Ebonyians and Akwa Ibomites not Nigerians??

Don't worry Op, I am sure the Northerners will take up your challenge and provide evidence soon.

About the same time Governor Orji of Abia State sacked over 3,000 indigenes of Anambra, Imo, Enugu, and Ebonyi States from the Abia Civil Service and sentenced tens of thousands of Igbo men and their families to untimely death, eternal poverty and degradation, yet heaven did not fall.

NonsoWow:
Peter Obi don buy market. This is now the trending story in the north. How obi maltreated northerners when he was governor feeling he would never be needing their votes one day. The same hausa/fulani that he forced to have ID cards to qualify them for residency of anambra state will now teach his bigoted head a bitter lesson he will never ever forget. Obiano still dey one side dey wait am too. Arrogance has really limited Peter Obi in his political life.
Maybe Peter Obi should apologize to the Northerners he offended by the act. I remember how he famously politicized Fashola's relocation of Lagos destitutes back to their states of origin. He made such a big issue of it even when he knew he had also done similarly in the past. Fashola was forced to apologize for being misunderstood over the matter.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/deportation-igbos-fashola-tenders-unreserved-apology/

But the bigoted and hypocritical Peter Obi never did same to the Northerners. Maybe it is time he does that.

PoliticsPrimaries: Governor Offered Oshiomhole $500,000 Bribe In Cash - The Nation by RockHard(op): 3:50am On Nov 11, 2018
Fresh details yesterday indicated that the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole became a target after refusing $500,000 bribe cash from a governor.

The governor wanted the APC chairman to adopt his anointed governorship candidate.

But Oshiomhole insisted on applying the guidelines of the party for primaries.

Also, there were indications that the APC leadership tried its best to strike a fair deal with Governor Rochas Okorocha on a 55-45 per cent basis.

The Imo governor however opted for 100 per cent concession which was unacceptable to APC.

Findings by our correspondent revealed that contrary to allegations, the refusal of Oshiomhole to collect bribes from godfathers and candidates accounted for the plot against him.

It was gathered that many godfathers and governorship candidates were desperate for tickets but Oshiomhole stood his ground that he will not compromise party guidelines.

A top source, who spoke in confidence, said: “At a stage, a governor became agitated and offered Oshiomhole about $500,000 to make sure that his candidate got a governorship ticket.

“The bribe sum was later hauled in cash to Oshiomhole’s office by one of the emissaries of the affected governors. But the APC chairman rejected the bribery.

“What the APC chairman did was to brief some members of the National Working Committee (NWC) on what transpired. He also intimidated some leaders of the party too. The party adhered strictly to its guidelines and the governor’s candidate lost out.

“The governor later turned out to have joined forces in the plot to remove Oshiomhole to teach the APC chairman a lesson. It was surprising to see the governor coordinating nocturnal meetings to sack Oshiomhole.

“The facts and witnesses are there. In the fullness of time, the name of the governor will be released. Maybe when he does not have immunity again, he will pay the price.”

As at press time, it was learnt that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Department of State Security Service (DSS) to stay away from party affairs and issues.

Also, the President has appealed to those aggrieved among APC governors to sheathe the swords.

A government source said: “The President has waded in the crisis of confidence between the governors and APC national chairman. We expect peace to return to the party. There might also be some reconciliation within the substitution window allowed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“The President has however ordered DSS to avoid dabbling in party affairs. He said if there are petitions about any infraction, they should be sent to appropriate agencies. Buhari was worried that the same challenge which the DSS faced on the arrest of judges had re-occurred.”

Meanwhile, there were indications that the APC leadership did its best to offer a fair deal to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State on the party’s candidates for 2019 poll in the state.

A reliable source said: “Okorocha is respected and loved by most of our leaders but we discovered that he cannot get all he wanted in 2019.

“APC leaders met the governor and it was agreed that as the APC leader in the state, he should go back and do justice.

“We offered him a fair deal. We said he should take 55% of the available seats and concede 45% of elective offices to others in the state. He accepted the deal but he returned to Imo to take 100% control of everything.

“At this point, we have no choice than to leave his fate to APC members to decide. This was why he lost out.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “If Okorocha was keen on his son-in-law as APC governorship candidate, there is nothing bad if he abandons his senatorial ambition.

“What made matter worse was when APC got intelligence report that the proposed running mate to his son-in-law as APC governorship aspirant has been found to be dating another girl in the governor’s family.

“This was why Oshiomhole came out to say he was not elected APC National Chairman to preserve any dynasty. We conceded a lot to Okorocha but he wanted wholesale party machinery in his care to do what he likes.

“If you look at the structure in the state, it is disproportional. Okorocha is the governor, his former Personal Assistant is the Deputy Governor, his son-in-law was a former commissioner and aspiring governorship candidate; his sister is the Deputy Chief of Staff/ Commissioner; the governor has also secured a senatorial ticket and he has given tickets to many loyalists.

“If he defects to any party, none can tolerate such indulgence because it is a mockery of democracy.”

As at press time, it was learnt that APC may still retain the current deputy governor, Eze Madumere as running mate to its governorship candidate, Chief Hope Uzodinma.

“We may give deputy governorship slot to Madumere again,” a top party source added.

PoliticsRe: Oshiomhole Returns To Nigeria, Speaks On Encounter With DSS by RockHard:
tinsel:
Why are you guys in pdp so eager to see him out as apc chairman?
I don't understand it either. APC doesn't give a damn about Secondus, but PDP seems determined to see Oshiomhole ousted as chairman. The million dollar question is why? I think it is because they are scared and intimidated by his electoral winning streak.

PoliticsRe: How DSS Held Oshiomhole Hostage For 8 Hours, 6 Governors Implicated by RockHard:
Oshiomhole should stand his ground and refuse to be intimidated. His enemies (including their collaborators in the PDP) are resorting to blackmail and would love nothing more than to see him ousted as chairman because they see him as a real threat to their ambitions. But their plans have already failed.

That explains why the PDP hates him with a passion -- his intimidating electoral record since assuming office remains a clear and present danger to their comeback ambitions. Carry on jare Oshio baba. Nothing do you.
