babyfaceafrica: The Apoi's of ondo state are not yorubas, they migrated from Apoi clan in Bayelsa state just like the Arogbos that migrated from Gbaraun in Bayelsa state...the Apoi's bear Yoruba names nd speak like them because of the influence of their neighbours I.e the ikales and the Ilajes..Even the arogbos include some Yoruba words to the Ijaw dialect they speak...As I am talking to you, the Apoi's have traced their origin to the Apoi clan of Bayelsa state which speak the same dialect ijaw like the Arogbos and have started calling their kids ijaw names 2 Likes |

Blue3k: This research was done based on indigeneship, not overall population outside the native homelands of these ethnic groups. Of your course you can find Ibibio or any other non Yoruba tribes in Lagos but they are certainty not indigenes of Lagos. The Op anticipated a concern like yours and that is why he brilliantly put the bolded clause there. 1 Like |

Nowenuse. Good attempt. You got the Igala position in Igboland right. Truth is you can never please everyone. But overall, you did a good job. Footnote : Maybe you should edit the number 1 to "Annang-Efik-Ibibio-Oron". Oron is too big and distinct enough to be put under Ibibio. Once again, good job. 3 Likes |

Add Bassa Nge to the Nupe cluster at #6... so that is also half of Bassa LGA. Jukuns are overcounted, they do not constitute a majority in that many LGAs. Try and se the word 'cluster' when describing multiple distinct but related ethnic groups, so that people know you are talking f a grouping which might include even more members that may or may not be listed. i.e The "Efik-Ibibio-Oron-Annang" cluster The "Jukun and related peoples cluster" The "Afenmai people cluster" Overall, good job and I salute the hours of research you must have put into this, because I can actually relate. 2 Likes |

senatordave1: Okay, sorry for that. Most Orons speak Efik as a 2nd language and seem very proud to identity with Efik. But they seem not to be too cool with Ibibio. I have asked some Orons if they considered themselves a part of Efik and they gave the affirmative. How about Eket (Ekid) being a subgroup of Ibibio? The funny thing is that in many colonial documents, all Efiks, Anangs, Oros and everyone else were classified as Ibibios. pazienza: 1 Like |

scholes0: All Bassa people actually speak a Nupoid language, just that they seem too big and distinct to be classified as Nupes. They have never identified as Nupes in anyway at anytime. They have never been under a Nupe chiefdom or emirate. Jukun is an umbrella covering all those groups I listed .. All those groups speak similar languages and understand each other..They have similar cultures and the same ancestry. The only difference is that some of them stress and emphasize on their Jukun identity more than others do. ...It's either all of them are considered Jukuns or no one is actually a Jukun. Because every Jukun man has a subgroup he belongs to. ... Nobody is Jukun just like that. So you should be wrong by saying 'Jukun and related People's cluster'. As for the Afemai and the others, you are very correct about the cluster thing. |

Nowenuse, make your research well. Ibani is like a hybrid of Igbo language and Ijaw. while Bonny is mostly mixture of Igbo and Ijaw bloodline with predominantly Igbo first language, Opobo actually has very little link with Ijaw in terms of origin, bloodline etc, except it's located in the riverine culture sphere of influence. it's a mixture of Igbo, ijaw and efik with Igbo being majority. They speak Igbo, gravitate towards Abia in relations but adopt Ijaw names(although a number of them now bear Igbo first names). So it's wrong to just say Ibani is Ijaw. 5 Likes |

The number of LGAs is not a really a factor in determining population as Lagos has shown. Lagos has 20LGAs while Akwa Ibom has 31. But Lagos has almost 8x the population of Akwa Ibom. In Rivers State, Almost 70% of people live in PH/Obio-Akpor/Ikwerre/Oyigbo/Eleme circle. That is a 5LGA spread out of 23. What I'm saying in essence is you can have plenty LGA and still be small in population. |

senatordave1:No one should reply this clown, where are you from, I'm sure your group is not even on this list, insignificant minority trying to claim itk. Have you ever been to oro? Or eket? You don't even know the correct thing,oron is an LGA while Oro is an ethnic group, you disgust me really, the same Akwa Ibom people you despise so much you still claim to know more than us, can you differentiate an oro man from an ibibio man or an Efik man from an Annang man if we're conversing in our dialect? NO . Where are you from, stay there and leave us alone |
Re: Top 25 Minority Ethnic Groups In Nigeria Based On Number Of Lgas They Occupy. by Blackking98(m): 6:30am On Mar 14, 2020 |
Nowenuse:you are actually correct, Oro is closer to Efik while eket is closer to ibibio. I'm an ibibio man with an Efik mother, my grandma lives in eket, ibibio is the most spoken language in eket, we are all the same but with some differences that are negligible, that guy quoting you is fond of subdividing us, he isn't even Efik or Akwa Ibom so why do you listen to him, I've had conversations with him before, he spews hatred for ibibios and Annang then claims love for Oro and eket, can you hate the apple tree but love the apple fruit? Impossible. Ibibio, Annang, Efik,Oro and eket we all calll God Abasi,we are all one but with some minor difference between which is normal in large ethnic groups in Nigeria, the senatordave1 guy I doubt his ethnicity is even on your list, to show u how insignificant he is. The guy irritates me. He should subdivide his ethnic group and let us be. Nsiba di se sé ayen atam ating ki inua mo. 2 Likes 1 Share |
