PhockPhockMan: Which one is a joke?
18% allocated to Igbos?

LOL ALLOCATED. We need a real census

Sealeddeal: they dies like rats too and that should be considered as well.

You all die like rats in your shiyyt hole of a country. Your life expectancy is 53yrs old.

PhockPhockMan: We're not talking about land mass here but people. Igbo can't be only 18% abeg.

Yes, Ibos are at least 98.7% of the entire population.

Ikengawo: Colonial records have Igbo as 50% of the total sum of all of southern Nigeria. If you're in Nigeria you will see it with your own eyes, people need to stop selling myths.

And how many Ibos lived outside ibo land during the colonial era?

Hausa+fulani+kanuri=36 now add 15 Yoruba =51 hahah I can't wait for 2015. Ijaw 2 what Wake up abeg

LIE LIE. Op is entitled to his/her imaginary.

Sealeddeal: they dies like rats too and that should be considered as well.

here comes a man that think.....abeg just let them wait till 2016 when a proper Census will be conducted by that time this Hausa is plenty is that bla bla would have been laid to rest. Meanwhile for your wise saying take this golden handshake from me...

classicEntity: The coming '2016 national population census' will tell better, thank God it will be under the watchful golden eagle eyes of GEJ and someone (name with held). This time no cows or rams will be counted or figures allocated to sm ppl, till then sha. God bless Nigeria.

Another wise man in the house......please tell them make dem hear.

The Northern population has been grossly exaggerated just like the whole population of Nigeria. States like Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina,Jigawa,Kano and Bauchi have been grossly overstated.
Honestly I believe Nigeria will be less by at least 20million of whatever figure she claims. However, there are facts that Hausa and some northern tribes give birth to more children than southerners at least I knew one man with 56 children.Considering the stated population percentages even though I couldn't agree, but certainly there are elements of truth in some of them.
If I can put Hausa at something between 18-20%, the Yoruba at between 22-24%,the Igbo at between 16-19%, the Fulani has mixed with the Hausa and for distinctive Fulani groups can't be more than 5%.So, the Hausa Fulani can't exceed 25% of Nigerians .
The Yoruba should not exceed 24% or a little less(to include Yoruba in Kwara,Kogi,Delta and AkokoEdo).
If good census were to be conducted in Nigeria, a whole lots of falsehood will be led opened for all to see ,for instance,More than 52% of Nigerians are Christians and there are more Christian Hausa than publicized.

MichaelAustin: To end speculation of who is the 4th nigerian among the ethnic groups of nigeria, here is a statistical ranking of tribes an ethnic groups in nigeria:
Yoruba 21%
Hausa 21%
Igbo 18%
Fulani 11%
Efik/Ibibio 7%
Kanuri 4%
Tiv 3%
Edo 3%
Ijaw 2%
Others 10%

The surprising thing about this Census conspiracy is this , how come igbos and Ibibio with just 25% population were able to inflict deep cutting injuries
on the remaining 75% of the population going as far as almost invading their capital lagos until their colonial master British Empire , Soviet union, Arab world and OAU had to come to their rescue
even at that it still took 30 months for the remaining 75% to use unorthodox fighting techniques like destruction of farmlands and sources of drink water and bombing of civilian targets to stop the war.

Also how come just Igbos and Ibibio alone constitute more than 70% of the university admission seekers where as the 30% of the population in the North can not produce or match the number admission
seekers in Imo state alone ,Anambra and Imo produce more of the admission seekers than 5 states in the South westwho clame they control 21% of the population.


The Nigerian Census is at best the worst form of humn deception aimed at overturning the truth on its head , anybody who believes this census figures is not only a foool but is a fraudster.

The same peopl who advocated a sack on Festus Odimegwu for his reforms in the NPA and plans to conduct a real accurate census all of a sudden kept quiet when Prof Jega conducted the worst from of delinaetion of

polling stations ever know to mankind allocating polling

lirusehn:

u are just clueless...

Really !, ok how about coming up with data and facts to back up my claims while you bring data and facts to back up your claim.

if the challenge is ok by you i am ready

I don't believe this crap!

Most Nigerians regard all Northerners as Hausas.

Someone list the states where Hausas are majority.

iconize: I don't believe this crap!

the hausa majority states are only the NW and some of the NE states so with my survey so far in nigeria,hausa and fulani put together is not up to 1/2 of the igbo and ibibio population,cuz the igbo tribe makes up almost 30 percent population in all states you find progress in nigeria,the only thing the igbo lack is land but as for populace they have always been the largest ethnic group in this british merger scam of a country called nigeria realistically,mind you northerners kicked against the counting of nigerians by ethnicity meaning they know their populace is a falsified one,I bet you aside igbos and other southern people in niger state the indegenous people are not up to 2million people but what do we have in the census figure?

ISpiksDaTroof: You all die like rats in your shiyyt hole of a country. Your life expectancy is 53yrs old.

why the ranting hausa give birth like rat and die like rat although i never expected you to accept it becos truth is bitter.

kastina,kano,kebbi

Igbos always living in denial, you people thing you are more populated cos you travel a lot. Nonsense

Rawani:

In other words, Hausa/Fulani - 32% and North - 36%. One third of all regions. .

By your analysis, in actual sense, South will be 100 - 36 = 64. Almost two third of the country. A baseline for some politicians to abrogate the notion that power should be rotated between two regions only. There are indeed other regions that deserve to be in elective positions if found capable with the appropriate intellectual acuity.

tobtap:
u are just clueless...

Seriously.

ISpiksDaTroof: And how many Ibos lived outside ibo land during the colonial era?

The thread is a count of ethnic groups not regions you GOAT. If an igbo man lives in Canada he still counts as an igbo man.

they're either going to have to stop lying or have to officially document that 1 igbo man = 10 yoruba and 15 hausa. We're the US dollar of Nigerians.
