Igbos in the ss and se should be 17 million.igbos in the west and north is 17 million still less than hausa and yoruba popupations

How can you say the population of Igbos in their two major regions of origin be 17million? You clearly don't know the population distribution of Igbos.

ConqueredWest:
Wrong

Igbos are the largest non indigenous people of Cross River

Hello my guy. What's up?
To the topic, you're mistaking here. Igbos are indigenous to Cross River state and the Ibibios are the largest non-indigenes in the state.

gidgiddy:
The fourth largest ethnic group? It has to be between Ibibios, Ijaws and maybe Kanuri

I dont think Tiv is large enough to make the 4th list

I'm not sure of others but between the TIVs and the Ijaws, Tivs are certainly the biggest. Kanuris seem to be the 5th biggest after the fulanis.

Nowenuse:
This statistic is absolute bullshit. There is no way in hell Hausas & fulanis combined can equal the population of Yorubas & Igbos combined, let alone only Hausa being equal to Yoruba & Igbo combined.

Also, muslims can never be the majority in Nigeria.
In Southern Nigeria, only in Oyo & Osun states are muslims up to half/more of the population, meanwhile you have Northern Nigeria where Benue, Plateau, Taraba and FCT are predominantly/overwhemingly christian, and Kogi, Nasarawa, Adamawa & Kaduna states as around a 50/50. Then Borno, Kebbi, Niger, Gombe & Kwara who have at least 25-40% of it's population as christian.

With this, how on earth can muslims be a majority in Nigeria? Americans should shove up that stupid and useless statistics up their asses.

This is exactly what I've been saying all through the years. Where are the Hausas they're talking about? It's a rubbish statistics. Christians are a majority in Nigeria. If not for the hatred against Igbos in Nigeria, all these rubbish won't have been seen in Nigeria. Today all Christians are suffering because of the gang up against Igbos.

This OP is Musiwa reincarnated and like many of his threads will fizzle away. To the Eco currency issue, it's just a waste of time. The concept though laudable lacks the foundation and other support bases to carry it through. This Nigeria simply cannot achieve this because she's incapable of such. Come next 10years, they still Wil be discussing how to go about it. Lol!

Closed indefinitely. Let our people who still support this evil Nigeria see for themselves how they're valued. I knew it from the onset.

Emyogalanya:
so what happened to you? Few months ago. I thought you were a die hard one Nigeria?

Nice question. However, cut him some slack. Every intelligent person know that a United Nigeria with equity and fairness will be the best for all but the problem is that it is impossible to achieve. Majority of those who still cling to the One Nigeria mantra don't want to face reality. Only the passage of time convinces them that its possibility is far fetched. I believe he has just come to this realization.

Ipob militants in military uniform

Lol. Says an EmptyCoconutHead. Hahahaha

Lol. It has finished working. Every organization have seen Nigerians for who they really are. The evil government has so dehumanize them that they simply don't know their rights anymore. A contraption filled with 'Shuffering and Shmilling' people. MTN carry go.

Slonge22:
We just copied it senselessly from our colonial masters. Nothing more, nothing less.

Did you say 'colonial master's? Can you repeat those words again but carefully absorbing their meaning? A better word should be 'colonialists. As to your response proper, you were very correct.

pazienza:
I don't understand Ndiigbo at all.

Why must we stupidly get ourselves in the middle of any storm? Where is our wisdom?

This is a supposedly thread made for the Northern minorities and their Hausa Fulani neighbours to sort themselves out, but look how my people are needlessly meddling into the issue and even attempting to buy the case.

We seriously need a reorientation as a people, this is no longer funny.

Why can't we learn to mind our own business?
Reserve our Energy for our own fights?

Isn't it same foolishness that made Nzeogwu and Co to start meddling into Yoruba/Hausa-Fulani crisis led by Awo and Hausa-Fulani backed Akintola?

Bikonu, ka anyi mulu nu ako Doo! Aririo ka m na ario!

Nowenuse:
This is a very big and silly lie. How did fulanis gain ground in Ilorin and conquer the Nupes and even Hausas themselves? Was it also because they were selling their inheritance for meat and local brew?

Hausas would never have had a hold in Jos if not for the Tin minning which brought many of them there and they were given free lands to settle by the colonial masters.

In all honesty, the older Hausa settlements found mostly in the original old Jos city areas like gangare, dilimi and adjoining areas were occupied for free but newer settlements were bought from the indigenes. The indigenes sold off their lands mostly for pittance. It is regrettable. Go to Christian areas within old Jos city- areas like Jenta, West of Mines, Tafawa Balewa, Millionaire quarters etc. Indigenes are scanty there. I believe most lands there were occupied by people who worked in the mines those days. The indigenes most take blame for the majority of the lands the Hausas occupy in entire Jos. It's painful what the Hausas turned to make His what it is today.

osothermal:
How can you day Jos north is 99↓% Muslims. Do you know Jos north comprises of Furaka Tina, Angwa Rukuba, Aparta, Rukuba road, Tudunwada ,millioniers quartets ? Before you talk please use your head

Don't mind them. The religious representation of Jos North can closely be at 65%/35% muslim/Christian which is heavily compensated for in the other LGAs that combine to make up the greater Jos metropolis.
Furaka is in Jos East. Jos north stops at signal barracks near Lamingo.

[center][/center]

Abagworo:
Jos North again? I learnt Hausa-Fulani is more populated than the indigenes in that axis

Very true. The indigenes sold off the remaining areas they occupied in His North and moved to either Jos South, Jos East and Bassa LGAs leaving mostly settlers to occupy with the Hausa, Fulanis and Buzzus(Nigeriens) dominating this particular LGA. Unfortunately, the Hausas and fulanis want to wipe off everyone(non-muslims) from the LGA to be their exclusive preserve and even proclaim themselves a new indigenous group they call 'Jasawa'. This Jasawa is gotten from Jos-awa. The 'awa' is a suffix in Hausa used to mean 'people of' an area which in this case means 'people of Jos'. This will fly with no one hence the persistent killings in the city.

Neoteny:
You've subconsciously made my point.

If hausas and fulanis are not the only settlers, why then do the natives hate only the hausa-fulani? If settlers are their problem, why don't they fight other tribes?

It's the combination of Islam and the hausa-fulani that the natives find odious, and they're helped along in this campaign by the sinister and duplicitous CAN.

You mentioned igboes, Jos North is predominantly hausa-fulani, with a sprinkling of igboes. The igboes came late to the party during the tinning era.

You claimed, falsely, that the hausa language was forced upon the natives. This is outrageously false. Even in the hinterlands where the hausa settlers did not penetrate, hausa is the local lingua Franca .


You yourself have no idea why you've an innate and inherent hate for Muslim hausa-fulani, as it's something drummed into your consciousness by the endless hate campaign perpetrated and perpetuated by your leaders to use you for their own selfish gains. Now that you've desecrated and laid waste to Jos, tell me how that makes it better

You can't drive neither Islam nor hausa-fulani from plateau. You may try and you will fail endlessly....as has happened several times already.

All you can do is keep alive the endless circle of laying waste to what you claim is your birthright.

It's like you don't know Jos nor it's history. What brought virtually all ethnic groups to Jos was the tin mining the hausas inclusive. As for Jos north, the population of Igbos there is more than sprinkles. Your arrogance is sickening. The welcome and acceptance you got from the indigenes is what you've lost due to your lack of respect of both the culture and lives of the people. Be careful how you wish to lay waste what belongs to others because they refused to yield to your oppression.

Neoteny:
Who the hell talks about "settler-indigene" in the 21st century?

Igboes in Lagos claim they own Lagos, they want to have their Igwes in Lagos, be recognized as idigenes of Lagos, own businesses and properties in Lagos, and demand to hold elective offices in Lagos..

...but a Fulani or hausa man several generations deep as indigenes of plateau are not indigenes, but settlers, simply because their ancestors settled in Jos ages ago.

This is why places like Plateau, Taraba, Benue and most of the North Central will forever be backwards, primordial, barbaric, and caught in the ancient past, because they've stubbornly stuck on a clannish and outdated caveman way of life.

Don't jump into an issue you have no in-depth knowledge of. Are North Western states any better?

Dpharisee:
Now we know why Aisha called on Nigerian men to wake and not allow a few people to control the destiny of Nigeria.
The man I heard was trying to arrange a new wife for Buhari. He and Abba Kyari are the key power brokers in Nigeria and not Buhari

Lol. It beats my imagination as to how millions of people will fail to see a clear sign of the power vacuum in Asorock. How can another man without any official position become so powerful as to suggest that he wants to get another wife for a whole president? For such to be possible, one of these is at play in Asorock.
1. Buhari must have lost his mind and have no mental capacity to make personal decisions let alone that of a whole entity.
2. Buhari must have been boxed to a corner with heavy blackmail which will require him to become a puppet as to have an unelected man control the affairs of the presidency without raising an alarm.
3. Buhari must have been dead and was replaced by another person- a lookalike that people could hardly distinguish. Definitely, the lookalike will be at the whims and caprice of his contractors because he's just an actor.
This last one is what IPOB has been shouting about all over the world yet the people of Nigeria remain in a deep coma. The second one is what Aisha Buhari(wife of the president) openly said but it still fell on deaf ears. The recent happenings involving Aisha within presidential quarters with a video confirms that the elected man is no longer control of the villa. Which ever is the case here, a sensible citizenry should have revolted but Nigeria has defied all predictions. See how the vice president and the wife of the president is been humiliated by an unelected man yet those who voted for Buhari have remained mute. Tufiakwa!
The danger such a hijack portends is without measure in that the hijackers are not accountable to anyone. So they can do as they wish and steal as much as they want. Today, Nigeria is more indebted than it has ever been and the economy is at it's worst. Suicide plus the unemployment rate has been at their highest. Insecurity has worsened yet the people still remain docile. I wonder what it will cause to see an uprising to challenge such impunity. Little wonder why serious countries and multinational corporations are doing big businesses with either Ghana, Kenya or South Africa because they've seen Nigeria for what she really is. What a shame!

Goldencheese:
Nigeria will rise again. Africa will rise again.

Akuko n'egwu!

Lol. Cowardice has a price. After you finish cutting away luxury today, tomorrow you will be forced to cut necessities too until there's no more breathe in you. Nigeria has defied all sort of permutations. Tufiakwa!

Kapilta:
you lie, a million years to this time Lagos is still standing. All of you have invaded our land all in the name of One Nigeria and ruin it all. You did it to Ibadan first and we are just re-building now after it was left to ruins. You've invaded Lagos again now with all sorts of lawlessness and barbarism. Lagos and Ibadan that is supposed to be contesting with Mallorca, Manila, Barcelona, New York and all can't even compete with Joburb and Dakar successfully. Thanks to One Nigeria. Badagry is there living in ruins too. One Nigeria must go away so we can take back our lands from intruders/invaders.

I like your last statement. Amen to it.

horsepower101:
Lagos is what happens when you refuse to spread development to other major parts of the country.

Everyone will have no choice but to overcrowd the already crowded city.

How can a country of over 200 million human beings have 1 major port.

Simple as ABC!

sogodihno:
The city is too populated, and their is no space, a tiny space that shouldn't cost anything in other States will cost arms and legs in Lagos, if u say u can't take it, another person is ready to pay more and get that space in ur eyes.

U wil literarily be bumping into each other when crossing the overhead bridge, to get bus for transport is wahala, because of too much people.

Lagos is overpopulated and overcrowded, the infrastructures are overwhelmed already, the state government has to do something to limit influx of people to the state, if this influx continue unabated, the state will explode in few years time.

SE and SS governors should do things to keep their people in their States, some of them are constituting nuisance here.

Eko o ni baje o.

Modified: Yoruba has a proverb, "nkan ti aye ba so e da, na ni aye fi ma bu e" 90% of those catisgating Lagos here are those economic refugees from the yeast that drag Lagos to this stage, since they won't sit their ass down in their backward region. SMH!

Lol. We warned but did they listen? Every action has consequences. Opening other ports is not a favour, it is a big solution. Failure to act now will cost multiple problems worse than it is today.
Funny how it is the fault of SE/SS states that are responsible for the present state of Lagos. Are the filth at Alaba Rago, the Okada menace, the numerous slums and underbridge dwellers, agberos etc caused by the people you accuse? Nonesense politics is the bane of black people.

Blue3k:
Their original plan being genocide or what? You never denied the biafran forces couldn't stop blockade. If they never joined up they'd be like other parts of nation sided with Nigeria most likely.

I don't need to tell you their original plan. Everyone will realise it when it's almost late. Stopping a blockade beyond what Biafra could do then because she wasn't prepared for a war. Aren't you ashamed that despite two first world countries incessantly supplying you heavy weapons, you still had to depend on starvation to win an I'll prepared people.

Ekpeitit:
So why do you want us in your Biafra so badly?
I know you think Igbos are very smart and others are stupid, answer me, why do you want us so badly if not for our oil and sea.
Who is the fool now?
Keep dreaming and wasting your time.
Why can't you just form your Igbo Biafra a d leave us alone?
That's all we are asking.
Na by force?
WE DON'T WANT YOU, IS THAT VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND?

Wow! What a rabid Igbo hater. I see Biafra gives you nightmares. Well for your information Biafra will come with all Igbos from every state they are presently located. Neighbouring groups who share similar goals with us shall be part of Biafra and there's nothing you can do about it. Igbos are a great people and it scares the shit out of you. No sorry! Soon you will lose it and use the noose like Ymodulus. Biafra is coming.

Blue3k:
If you did it wasnt in that reply. Saying we did lots is not a specific answer. Its like him asking how fast does a cheetah run. You answer very fast. The biafran forces couldn't save themselves from starvation blockade.

Losing a war against a combined force is not shameful. We didn't fight fulani alone so we still hold our heads high. I tell you the truth; Igbos prevented the original plans of the fulanis although at a costly price. The day other ethnic groups will figure this out, you all will on your way to Futa djallon and Futa toro.

LegendHero:
Is it the impostor like me that created the previous thread?

Is it the impostor like me that created this thread?

Is it the impostor like me that first said on the first thread that there is significant amount of indigenous Igbos in Akwa Ibom?

Why drag the Yoruba into this when it’s all an issue of discourse between the Akwa Ibom indigents on this thread and the earlier Igbo guys that claimed part of majority Igbo-AkwaIbimites.

You sound like a sane person which explains why I had to reply to you in a civil way, but if you keep maintain some traits of your fellow Igbos on the earlier thread I won’t have a choice than to be confrontational also.

Gracias!

Your lies gradually diminish your worth. Why did you accuse Igbos of stealing from their brothers and stoking hatred between the two people? Or would you deny this too? Your intents are very clear and they have failed. Akwa Ibomites are smart people; I schooled with lots of them and I know they aren't gullible like some other tribes that fall easily to your divisive antics.

Blue3k:
Lol if you dare question his claims or you're an enemy. You're only a northerner Yoruba or backstabber based on this warped logic. Notice the simple question you asked wasn't answered.

I did answer him. Listen! I've studied fulanis enough to know how cunning they can be. It's just unfortunate that lots of tribes supported them against Igbos during the uncivil war. If not, they would have been cast into oblivion. See how the Nigeria they're controlling has become. Rubbish!

LegendHero:
Lol so you’re saying the other guys are Yorubas masking as Akwa-Ibomites? Even after how they spoke their language fluently and with the convincing point they made about their tribe and land space you still brought your ignorance on this thread to label them Yorubas.

I am a Yoruba and I’ve always maintained my identity, it’s just rubbish to try to label the OP and those you quoted up there as a different tribes coz you do not expect Akwa-Ibom to lay claim to their lands?

Are they a conquered tribe that dare not take hold of their land or who dare not tell the Igbos to know where they belong? Even if you are brothers like you claimed, what kind of brother steal other siblings inheritance and still ask them not to complain?

Its not your fault, it’s the SS’ners fault for remaining silent for too long while you guys define their identity for them. I’m not tryna create any animosity among you coz I know you guys are like brothers, but they’ve been quiet on here for too long and if they remain like this, the Igbos will try all they can to redefine the SS’ners identity.

You're still typing rubbish. Igbos never claimed Akwa Ibom as an Igbo state, we rather said that some indigenuos Igbo communities can be found in the state which is not arguable because it is what it is. It's impostors like you that come out from nowhere to accuse us of stealing and start stoking division in our ranks. The Ogu(Egun) people don't own Ogun state but they have indigenous communities in the state. Is it not so? You guys must shut up and focus on what you know. Isn't this how some of you were busy saying there are no indigenous Igbos in Delta and Rivers even when our population there is in millions. Stick to what you know.

wiseone28:
Since you have been fighting the Hausa/Fulani hegemony what success have you achieve?

We've achieved a lot even you know that. The poverty in your domain is increasing and it won't get better anytime soon. The end of your reign is near.

Another gutter thread brought up to confuse unsuspecting Igbos. Igbos have no problem with Akwa Ibom ethnic because we've lived long enough to know ourselves better than all the quarrel stoking impostors on Nairaland have. Notice to all Igbos: a thread with Cletus77, Melee Zenawi, LegendHero and NtoAkwaIbom is one with a powerful combination of characters to cause disaffection among Biafrans so as to pave way for the fulani penetration of our lands. Just go through their posts and see them for who they truly are. I just did that an Cletus77 was revealed to me. Same as NtoAkwaIbom. Disregard the thread. Don't let them push you to insult our Ibibio or Annang brothers.

Kpoikpoi:
I find it very insulting and disrespectful that my great Akwa Ibom State should even be mentioned as having anything to do with Igbos, this Igbo nonsense has to stop.
Adiok ano mbio Uneghe.

Son of the fallen angel. How you impersonate to sow discord among brothers is quite appalling. Your hatred against Igbos will take you to your untimely grave.
