Warri Population is obviously not added in your calculation. Or you don't know the ethnic groups that occupied the Warri province in the 60's and even till now? Even if the Urhobos in Warri was 15% of the population (Which is not possible, because majority of Warri province population was in present day Warri South LG that is heavily shared between Urhobo & Itsekiri). If I'm to add the Urhobo population in Patani & Bomadi, then the Urhobos should be nothing less than 38% of the entire population. Also, I left 5% uncounted for, giving rooms for any slack.

Again, you are bias to not see the falsehood some people are trying to push. There's no way anyone can challenge the population strength of the Effik/Ibibio folks. My only problem with them is that they don't know the strength they have. After the Effik, you have the Edoids that completely dominate two states.

Then you also have the Ijaws whose population in Delta alone covered that of Ndokwa & Ndoshimili together, and Itsekiri (from their population in Warri Province). The Ijaws are also the lead majority in Bayelsa and the Edoid numbers can't be more than 10% of the population.

Without even debating, you know it's a lie to say Igboid are the biggest group in a region with far more dominating groups.

Efewestern:
So where do you place the Effik/Ibibio in your debate? I thought we all argue with facts rather than sentiment.

Effik/Ibibio should be the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria. They always had the numbers.

Here's an unbiased ranking
1. Efik/Ibibio (98% of Cross River & Akwa Ibom)
2. Edoid (2/4 of Delta State, 95% of Edo state, 10% Bayelsa)
3. ijoid (90% Bayelsa, 1/5 Delta state, 1/4 Rivers State, 2% Edo)
3. igboid (1/4 Delta, 2/3 Rivers, 2%Edo)

If you want to argue further, we can start to referencing population census from the 50's.

Modified: I attached the population census of Bendel (Delta). Urhobo/Isoko (Edoid) - 42%
Igboid - 30%
Ijaw - 15%
Itsekiri - 10%. Please note that I didn't take account of the Urhobo communities in Western Ijo territories and Warri. Also didn't include Isoko population in Ndokwa. This is for Delta state. In Edo state, Edoid group occupied over 95% of the population.

The only state the Igboid group are majority, is Rivers. Meanwhile the Edoid dominate two states (Edo & Delta with significant population in Bayelsa & Rivers).

In Cross River and Akwa Ibom, the Effik/Ibibio occupy these states completely, giving them the clear lead.

The Ijaws are found in every states but only command numbers in Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers. There's no way they can surpass the Edoid group in strength.

In abroad, you take official permission from the local authorities before you celebrate whatever you do. Your host must grant you the permission. In PH, your host rejected you and you went to Imo to celebrate your day.

Deltancapo:
I didn't say they should stand against Delta North, what I meant is that they're influence as a majority is of no value in Delta state, despite holding the power of governor for many years.

Igbo should not be giving any privileges anywhere, they should use their privilege in their five states.

It’s the Jonathan playbook all over again.

Entprys:
Reports keep saying "hoodlums".

Are they really hoodlums ?

Or hungry Nigerians ?

AntiZikist:
Some very dangerous elements are behind these spontaneous acts.


The same people who hijacked the Endsars protests that started in Benin are the ones behind the protests and looting.

They want anarchy to prevail towards justifying a coup .

Imagine all the accusations against him by union members and PHCN employees. I'm glad he left and carried on with his business. Don't overwork yourself for those who don't know or value your worth. Let your private work testify to your claims and capability. That's the story of Prof. Barth Nnaji and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. More Igbo professionals should channel their expertise back home. We appreciate good things and will support you to build whatever you can for the overall good of AlaIgbo.
God bless Prof. Barth Nnaji.
God bless Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
God bless Gov. Alex Otti
God bless Professor Nnennaya who ensured Abia people's choice got to lead them.
God bless the entire AlaIgbo irrespective of what geopolitical region it was carved into.

E sure me die say only one person post all the comments for the first page. With that out of the way, it’s no wonder why our leaders will continue dealing with us. The gauge of a society’s humanity is how they treat those below them. Orphanages, prisons and beggars on the street are treated like human scum. Add IDPs to the list. We don’t treat the disadvantaged well, how can we be considerate to able-bodied people? God is truly punishing us if He exists. Either that or he doesn’t bother to hear us because of the iniquity in our hearts.
