We all know that when Nigeria is mentioned, the three major ethnic group are Hausa,Igbo and Yoruba in no particular order.. Even a primary school child knows this.. But which ethnic group can we rightly classify as 4th after these three? |

What about the Fulanis? The fourth should be Igala or Edoma......those from Benue in short! |

There's no fourth as the constitution does not recognize a 4th ethnic group. According to Nigeria, it's Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and others. 10 Likes |

The Tivs, Kanuris or Efiks would be my pick, thou the eva noisy Ijaws will want to claim 4th position even when population statistics have proven otherwise. I think something of this nature has been treated before on Nairaland. 3 Likes |

tiv and efik are not among the first 5. it is yoruba,hausa, igbo, kanuri, edo. tiv towns are small on the satellite picture, efik are small. ijaws are small too. nupe are small too. |

Re: Which Ethnic Group Comes 4th In Nigeria? by Ikengawo: 11:34pm On Jan 04, 2014 |
I doubt it's Fulani or Ijaw. If you look at the Niger Delta with google maps, it's very empty and rightfully so because a lot of it is not comfortable for human habitation and can't support large populations. I don't know the north well be I will say it's clearly Bini for my own observations |
Re: Which Ethnic Group Comes 4th In Nigeria? by musiwa112: 11:36pm On Jan 04, 2014 |
Edo are more populated than efik-ibibio. efik ibibio are far far smaller than edo. even itsekiri are more than efik ibibio. |
Re: Which Ethnic Group Comes 4th In Nigeria? by Ikengawo: 11:36pm On Jan 04, 2014 |
To say that Igbo and Ijaw are close in number is absolute comedy. Even in the Niger Delta, Delta igbos and Ikwerre constitute 60% of the people you will see and encounter and we're not counting the SE. Even Bayelsa has a sizeable igbo population and many ijaws are mixed with igbos in high number, unless you're counting Efik, Ibibio and Annang as Ijaw. 6 Likes |
