Looks like ngwa may be the largest Igbo clan in the Southeast followed by ikwerre in the southsouth,i will use the number of local governments they have plus population size as evidence,for example ngwa has about 4 local governments in Abia they have obi ngwa,isiala ngwa ,osisioma ngwa plus Aba they number roughly 2million and ikwerre have ikwerre ,emuoha,obio akpor and portharcourt LGAs all together ikwerres are the largest igbo clan in the south south with a population of over 1 million
I doubt if they is any single Igbo clan this big .

Ikwerre is not an Igbo clan. It is a Benin clan.

A Comparative Study of Palatal Rugae Patterns among Igbo and Ikwerre Ethnic Groups of Nigeria: A University of Port Harcourt Study

Background. Palatal rugae pattern of an individual is species specific and is said to be as unique as finger print.

Aims and Objectives. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the rugae pattern of Igbo and Ikwerre populations in Nigeria for human identification purposes.

Materials and Methods. The present study was conducted from random sampling of University of Port Harcourt students. A total number of 140 subjects (70 Igbos and 70 Ikwerres) of age bracket of 18–30 were used.

Results. The different shapes of rugae were obviously observed with varying degrees of predominance among the two tribes. The most predominant patterns are wavy and curvy followed by straight. The Igbos were predominantly wavy while the Ikwerres were predominantly of curve and straight patterns. The Igbo males and females had more wavy pattern with percentage values of 51.6% and 59.9% which is significantly higher in proportion () as compared to the Ikwerre males and females with percentage values of 35.6% and 40.6%. On the other hand, Ikwerre males and females proved to be curve dominant with percentage values of 45.2% and 34.4% and this showed significant difference in proportion () as compared to the Igbo males and females with percentage curve values of 27.9% and 26.1%.

Conclusion. The result obtained from this study is clear evidence of ethnic differences in relation to sex; hence the incidence of predominance is population dependent.

Ikwerre are Benin slaves and not Igbo in any way please.

I will give it to Ezza people in Ebonyi, benue and crossriver states and Ezike-Orba in Enugu, benue and kogi states. Nkanu in Enugu is big too if we included their ohaozara brothers in Ebonyi state( Onicha and ohaozara LG arears) .

Officially they ARE NOT IGBO. They are from Benin kingdom, according to the highest ranking Ikwerre man Gofnor Wikevie Nyesomwen. That is the official position of the tribe. Take it that way.

You should concentrate on ika land (occupied Igbo land) and eradicate the igboness in them. Your forefathers failed on that and you slaves should spit on their graves for abandoning their master's language when naming their children and villages.

When Igbo nation emerges,we will repatriate all you Bennin slaves back to Bennin. You people are slaves occupying Igbo land and will be sent back to your masters when the hour comes.

I'm sure you will name your son an Igbo name and won't be ashamed to do that. You slaves should stop answering Igbo name.

Slaves don't inherit anything. You people are slaves that escaped from Benin and occupied Igbo land.
When the hour comes,you will understand.

Let Nigeria splits and you will understand that our generations are not tolerant like our forefathers. You, slaves will be returned to Benin to build another Benin great wall.

Is that why the ikwerres denied their igbo-ness and forcefully took igbos properties in portarcourt? Is that why wike came out publicly to say ikwerres are not igbos but migrants from bini?

Bia OP, with all due respect may thunder fire you.
Ikwerre is a Bini clan not Igbo.
By the way, when did local government equates to population? Ikwerre as a Bini runaway slave or clan is not more than 10 thousand people compared to Nike, Ngwá, Isu and Okija/ihiala/Ihembosi/Uli

Ngwas occupy the following LGAs in Abia state:
Aba North
Aba South
Obingwa
Osisioma Ngwa
Ugwunagbo
Isialangwa North
Isialangwa South.

I don't know if they are the largest Igbo clan. Census data will proof this.

Is not about number of LGA, I'm ikwerre but I think is between Ngwa and Ezza because Ezza has people in Benue,the benue igbos people refer to.

Do you know that Nsukka is not a clan is more of a region ,like Nsukka is more popular with other places like Enugu-ezike, obollo etc claiming part of them.
Igbos clans are ikwerre,Ngwa,Ezza, Nkanu, Mbaise, etc
