Abagworo:
Igbo is even 10th not 4th. Kalabari is even more populated than Ijaw. Ikwerre is more populated than Ijaw. Ijaw is the largest ethnic group in Bayelsa among the numerous ethnic groups in the State including Epie, Nembe, Ogbiya , Isoko, Urhobo and Engenni.

Werey Kalabari is just one of the 86 Ijaw Clans.
The rest you mentioned are also Ijaw Clans.

ngwaIgbo223:
Your landlocked 500 minority tribe you still survived.

Go and play outside.
Children should be seen and not heard when adults speak.

gurujoe:
I am almost 34 and i have not seen a single ijaw person
Note: I have travelled almost 21 states

Read well and you see where it says Ijaw mix fully like the people and you can't notice Ijaw if he or she didn't tell you.

paramakina202:
Now you know

ngwaIgbo223:
Both you and your little 1000 population ijaw are scantly minorities under Biafra.

And landlocked 200 Igbos can never rule Nigeria.
Dotians..

ngwaIgbo223:
This minorities under Biafra self.

Ijaws are of Ijaw Republic and Igbos are not larger than Ijaws.

paramakina202:
Ijaw is only visible in Bayelsa state.The other tribes living in other states they falsely call Ijaw are not,they are either Igbo or Yoruba.

No they are Hausa

VeryWickedGoat:
You forgot to add that Ijaws die anyhow like ritual fowls due to their propensity for senseless violence.

Werey

SeeWahala:
Is it plenty enough for you?

Or I should add more?

Ok do

SeeWahala:
Ahhh, very veey bitter like agbo-jedi

Ijaws are the largest tribe in the whole known universe

More plenty than the grains of sand found on all the beaches in all the coastline along the entire continents in the world

Haha.

FatherOfJesus:

victory36:

Whatever you say, the truth is just said here.

SeeWahala:

kettykin:
Who ever wrote thisnhS an igbo complex

The name of the writer is at the end of the article.

Easternmind:
Ok
ijaw is the largest tribe in Nigeria...

You are not far from the truth.

*THIS IS WHY IJAW IS A VERY LARGE TRIBE..* .




The Ijaw Nation is having over 2,800 villages and settlements starting from Furupagha settlements bordering Ore in Odigbo LGA of Nigeria's Ondo, and Ijaw continues uniterrupted even to Mbo-Obolo areas that border Odukpani in Calabar main city areas.
Ijaw spans over 6 Nigerian States.



Where Ijaw occupy in the Niger Delta is larger than Igbo land but the marginalization of Ijaw wouldn't make people see it that way.
To be sincere,
Ijaw give birth very fast. Average of 17 years lady in an Ijaw Community is already a mother and average of 19 years old guy in Ijaw Community is already a father.
Compare that to Igbo that goes to 40 or more before giving birth.
Average Ijaw man or woman in their 40s is already a grand parent.
Western and Central Ijaws are like this.
Ondo, Edo, Delta and Bayelsa Ijaws..



Rivers Ijaw people would rather spend most of their youths doing hook up here and there in the name of succeeding first and do not give birth that fast and as common like the other Western and Central Fringe of Ijaw.
They are similar to Akwa-Ibom Ijaws in that regard but Akwa Ibom Ijaws give birth faster than them in Rivers Ijaw.



Ijaw is an integration of many subgroups related through similar ancestry of which each can stand as different tribes of their own if it is Nigerian standard.
That means Ijaw is confederation of atleast 86 tribes if it is Nigeria way of measuring tribes of which that's the number of Ijaw Clans..



Due to Central Dialect issue, Ijaws don't speak here and there and act like different tribes having only the Socio Cultural Organizations to unite Ijaw.
You don't judge by population of the Riverine areas.
Most Ijaws leave home for greener pastures because it is not easy to develop Ijaw areas and God gave us Crude Oil as compensation for our difficult terrains but they take their resources and take Ijaw own too all in the name of one fraudulent, expired, and confused confederation like country called Nigeria.



When Ijaw travels to none Ijaw areas, they act like the people, you cannot easily recognize an Ijaw person if the person didn't say it, unlike Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa among others that are easily recognizeable.
Ijaws are among the largest tribes in Nigeria.
Ijaw is never a minority and that's a term they used in degrading Ijaw hence the unjust balkanization into over six States .




Before we became Nigerians, we were first Ijaws and Ijaw we will remain forever.
Ijaw our past, Ijaw our present, Ijaw our future.


Ijaw our final home.

@General Ditari.




The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has cautioned Simon Ekpa, a Biafran agitator in exile not to link Ijaw territories to Biafra, stressing that the Ijaw struggle for resource control leading to the declaration of Niger Delta Republic by late Hero Maj. Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro is older than the Biafra agitation for a sovereign state from Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement signed and made available to newsmen in Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa State earlier today by Spokesman of the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide, Amb. Binebai Yerin Princewill, a copy of which was sent to The Liberator Newspapers Worldwide.

The Ijaw Youth Council had warned Simon Ekpa and his proponents of Biafra to keep clear from ever trying to annex Ijaw territories to themselves as the Ijaws have never been part and can never be part of Biafra.

The statement reads in full below:

IYC Warns Simon Ekpa Over Reckless Comment, Says Ijaws Are Not Part Of Biafra And Can Never Be Part Of Biafra

The attention of Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has been drawn to a strange video by one Simon Ekpa, who is from the eastern part of Nigeria, now masquerading as the leader of Biafra in exile. In the said video posted on Twitter, he tried to establish Ijaw territories as part of his imaginary Biafra state.

In the said video, Simon Ekpa expressed the point that Nigerian soldiers attacked his Biafra people and Biafra republic. He was simply referring to the Okuama attack in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday 14th of March 2024 wherein 17 Soldiers were killed and the subsequent onslaught carried out by the military on Igbomotoro and Peremabiri Ijaw communities in Bayelsa. The fundamental claim the renegade Biafra nationalist is making is that both Okuama community in Delta and Igbomotoro in Bayelsa state are part of his purported Biafran State. He thus threatened to unleash mayhem on Nigerian Soldiers on the 29th of March 2024 to avenge the death of civilians who had lost their lives on the military onslaught.

However, IYC is already dealing with a lot of issues regarding the attack on the soldiers and the subsequent invasion of Ijaw communities by the military, resulting in the loss of many lives. The Ijaw people have never at any point in time been part of Biafra and can never be part of Biafra. The attack on the Soldiers had been condemned and it remained condemned just as the IYC had also charged the military to go after only the criminals and not killing of innocent people which we have also condemned in Igbomotoro and Peremabiri.

For the purpose of clarity, the Ijaw Youth Council is putting the records straight that the Ijaw struggle for a better living condition in Nigeria is older than the so-called Biafra agitation. Our late Ijaw hero and foremost nationalist, Major Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro, who is regarded as champion of minority rights movement in Nigeria, declared the “Niger Delta Republic ” on February 23rd 1966 a year after, before late Odumegwu Ojukwu who was the then governor of the Eastern Region declared the Biafra Republic on May 30, 1967.

As Ijaw people, we are Nigerians, original occupants, and dwellers of the Niger Delta region. We reiterate that no part of Niger Delta belongs to their so-called imaginary Biafra. The struggle of the Ijaw people is majorly in resource control and not a secessionist movement. We have our own struggles, and the Indegenous People of Biafra also have their own separate struggle. The Ijaws are not part of their Biafra struggle and ideology.

While the IYC is not opposed to the Biafra agitation, as Ijaws, we are law-abiding people in the Nigerian State. What we will not tolerate, going forward, is to watch Biafrans to lay claims to our territories. We are Ijaw people. We are Nigerians in the Niger Delta. We don’t have any ties or whatever with the Biafra people and their agitation.

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide is sounding a note of warning to Simon Ekpa and his group of Biafra disciples to keep clear from the Ijaw people as we will not tolerate any other reckless comment about our people and territories belonging to their imaginary Biafra.

Finally, the IYC is using this medium to inform the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Nigerian military that all the areas mentioned are not part of Biafra and can never be part of Biafra as IYC will not allow any purported attack on the military in our territories come March 29th 2024.

A popular bishop in Edo State has denounced Christianity,burn his Bible and embraced African Traditional Religion.

In his words, 'We have been deceiving and lying to people and staging miracles all these years. My conscience wouldn't allow me to continue with these lies. If you claim you can heal any sickness or perform any miracle with the name of Jesus, I challenge you to come forward."

CodeTemplar:
So Fulanis are minority in the country they are colonial masters?

Yes

So if there is no Coup or Military Actions, African Countries can't get Youths as President.

Southern Nigeria

Yoruba
Igbo
Ijaw

In the North it is
Hausa
Kanuri
Tiv




This is fact and it's not distorted article created online.
So many of who you call Igbos are actually Ijaws and where Ijaw occupy in the Niger Delta is bigger than Igbo land.



You call Kanuri Hausa but where Kanuri Occupy in Nigeria is very very very large.
