Desola: You're quite right. Its better you start another thread like you stated, to iron-out the issues you raised with the other poster. As usual, you haven't proved me wrong by attempting to derail this thread. I know your likes. Why didn't you write that statement in English? Simple instructions for the general benefit of all, like I stated initially in the opening thread and still, adherence becomes such a problem! Odunnu: You're welcome. |

@ Babe How can you be Yoruba and claim to hail from warri. Even Itshekiri is not considered as Yoruba to many but still qualifies as Yoruba. That's the closest tribe related to Yoruba in Warri. |

Akwa Ibom -Ibibio Why are AkwaIbomites so under represented in Nairaland. Are we not supposed to be the Fourth major tribe in Naija after Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Ibime(m): 12:42pm On May 27, 2011 |
afam4eva: Its called modernisation my friend. My close friend, Yoruba boy also swears he's a waffi man, and he is accepted by all and sundry as a waffi man cos he's got the waffi slangs and accent and is born and bred in Warri. Likewise my friend from Anambra claims he is a Rivers man first and Igbo man second, and no one denies his right as a Port Harcourt boy since he was born and bred and his mum is also from Bonny. Even EzeUche calls himself PH boy, although any real PH boy would reject his claims flatly!!! |

Rivers Ijaw |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Afam4eva(m): 12:54pm On May 27, 2011 |
Ibime: Te bolded doesn't make sense. Is Rivers a tribe? Are Igbos not in river state? A person calling himself PH boy or Lagos Boy does not mean the person is denying his ethnicity. he's just representing the city he grew up in. Not that there's anything wrong with that but the OP asked for your ethnicity and state of origin and not state of naturalization. |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Nobody: 12:55pm On May 27, 2011 |
Akan:I think the Ijaws are more populated. |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Akan(m): 12:57pm On May 27, 2011 |
^^ hmmm i doubt that |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Afam4eva(m): 1:00pm On May 27, 2011 |
I've always thought that Ibibios are the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria because like i see many of them way more than i see Ijaw people. I just think it's because the Ijaws are more vocal politically that's why it looks like they're the major minority in Nigeria. |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Nobody: 1:03pm On May 27, 2011 |
Akan:The ijaws constitute a considerable chunk in 3 or more states. The ibibios are only found akwa ibom/cross river. |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Afam4eva(m): 1:11pm On May 27, 2011 |
J12: So, just because they are in 3 more states that makes them larger. No i don't think so. Are they the majority in those 3 states? Their population in Ondo is less than 1%. In Delta they're not up to 5%. In Rivers state they're 10% of thereabout. It's only in Bayelsa that they have close to 100% population. |

Don't use this site often, but: 50% Benue (Paternal) + 50% Ogun (Maternal) = 100% Nigerian (best of both worlds without any tribe’s negative traits) |

Judging from this thread, I can clearly see that Yoruba people are truly mixed with other tribes. ehrrm, seen less Yoruba/Hausa or Yoruba/Fulanis tho. Cant blame them |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Nobody: 1:20pm On May 27, 2011 |
afam4eva:In rivers state, they're about 25 percent. If you add up their population from the various states, their size would definitely be more than that of the Ibibios. |

Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Nobody: 1:23pm On May 27, 2011 |
black.rules: What is this? Is this Yoruba or Fulani? I thought they were teaching Yorubas in Nigerian schools again |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Afam4eva(m): 1:25pm On May 27, 2011 |
J12:There's no way they're up to 25% in rivers state. The Igboid groups(Ikwerre, Ndoki etc) make up at least 70% of rivers state. Then you have Ogoni and other groups to fight for the remaining 30%. |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by blackrules1(m): 1:27pm On May 27, 2011 |

Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Nobody: 1:40pm On May 27, 2011 |
afam4eva:Okirika, Kalabari, Ibani, Nkooro etc are all Ijaws. They all constitute at least 25% of Rivers population. Ijaws are more populated than the ibibios, and thats a fact, |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Ngodigha: 1:41pm On May 27, 2011 |
J12:The Ijaw tend to classify non-Ijaw groups such as Ogoni AND kalabari as Ijaw just to claim they are the fourth largest group in Nigeria. Even at that The Ibibio, Annang and Efik combined is bigger than the Ijaw. |
Re: Celebrate Nigeria's Diversity - Posters' Rich Diversities. by Ngodigha: 1:45pm On May 27, 2011 |
The only Ijaw group in Rivers state are found in Asari Toru and Akoko Toru. In Cross River state, there are so many groups there, yet Ibibio do not claim them. Ijaw should stop claiming non Ijaws in Rivers state. |
